By decree and pro

And when Yan asked the group of people, Usman secretly winked at Shuangya: "Well done, there will be a lot of rewards when you go back."

Frostooth flicked his head left and right, very pleased with himself.

But then Usman frowned slightly again, and continued to pass the message to Shuangya: "However, don't always scare him, this king will feel distressed."

Shuangfang grinned, as if replying: "Understood."

"Are you listening to me?" Yan turned around and saw Usman teasing the white wolf.

"what?"

"They said that the dead end over there is like a maze, and you can't get out of it." Sure enough, they didn't listen!Yan tried hard to control his temper, and said, "It's quite similar to the road here."

"In other words, we have indeed fallen into the trap of the ancient city of Linze." Usman looked up at the bluestone above.

Board, "I see, what they did was to trap people here and smash all the stones off the ceiling."

"Yeah." Yan nodded, and said, "I'm afraid it's not just the stone slabs on the ceiling, there are probably hidden weapon traps buried on the ground and in the stone brick walls. There are also ancient books in Dayan that describe the use of traps to trap and kill people. Let me take a look. I've seen some, but I haven't seen it with my own eyes."

"This is terrible." The woman said in horror, her face pale.

"Fortunately, although the organs are still there, there are no Linze soldiers above our heads." Usman continued, "No one manipulates these organs to hurt us. Generally speaking, as long as we are careful enough, walking here is still safe."

Usman's words immediately made the woman's expression relaxed again, and she looked at Usman adoringly, Yan suddenly found that he was quite good at taking care of women.

But yes, he is a playful man after all.

Yan rolled his eyes secretly in his heart, and continued, "Although this place seems to be a dead end, I don't think the monarch of Linze will let the enemy's corpses rot directly in the maze trap. If that happens, the underground will stink, blood If it flows into a river, the remaining enemy troops will not be fooled, so there must be entrances and exits in the maze, let Linze soldiers enter the maze quietly, and move the corpses of the enemy troops out. However, these entrances and exits must be quite secretive, we have to You have to look very carefully to find them."

"It makes sense!" Everyone looked at Yan in amazement, admiring Prince Dayan's speculation.

Although Usman also thought of this, he still did not hide his admiring gaze towards Yan. The eyes with spring in the corners of his eyes were so obvious that Yan had to keep a straight face in order to deal with Usman's enthusiasm.

"What the hell is he doing again? I can't follow his ways anymore." Yan made himself firmly remember one thing, that is, the losses he suffered and the tricks he had with Usman, the two I can't count my hands, and I absolutely can't have anything to do with him.

Then Yan started to get down to business, counting the number of people, remembering the appearance of everyone here.

There were nineteen men and two women in all.Among the men, there was a young man whose face was seriously injured and bleeding a lot, and an old man who looked very thin, but his legs were quick and he had no problem keeping up with everyone.

The other men are all young adults in their 40s and [-]s, and those who love to watch beast fights are mostly men.

The two women are already married, you can tell by the bun wrapped in calico, and they seem to know each other, holding hands along the way, wiping each other's tears and comforting each other.

"Sister Aya, I'm really worried about the child's father. With such a big explosion, he will be fine."

"It's going to be okay, we fell into such a deep pit, isn't it okay? Hey, talking about my bad gambler, it's really annoying..." The woman called Sister Aya is the one The one who was comforted by Usman.

Yan learned from their conversation that their husbands were also in the Colosseum, but they fell off or something, and now they are gone, which made them very worried.

"What are you looking at?" Usman asked closer.

"I'm counting the number of people. I won't accidentally leave someone behind when I leave later." Yan said angrily, "They are all your people. Since you have fallen into the ancient city due to your burden, you will naturally be responsible for taking them. Get away."

"Yan Yan," Usman said, "Your heart is always so kind."

"You think so, probably because your heart is too dark." Yan said in Yan language.

Usman smiled, as if he was happy to be scolded, no, as if he was exploring the dungeon instead of being trapped.

"His Royal Highness, may I ask... shall we continue to move forward?" Aya took a step closer and asked Yan respectfully.

"Yes, in groups of two, keep going forward, and these two big brothers, please take care of this little brother." Yan walked back and forth among these people, and quickly arranged how to go forward together .

And ever since they knew that this stranger was not some strange man with extraordinary martial arts, but Prince Yonghe of Dayan, their attitude towards him changed 180 degrees, and they respected him very much.

"The king will be on your team." Usman stood next to Yan.

"You and Shuang Fang are on the same team." Yan said with a straight face, "You are at the back."

"what?"

"Huhu~~" Shuangfang was very happy, and he grinned, revealing his sharp white teeth.

"Yanyan," Usman asked dissatisfiedly, "Who are you going with?"

"I'll go alone," Yan said, "clear the way at the front."

"Then what if there is danger?"

"Don't my greatest danger and threat come from 'you'?" Yan looked at Usman, squinting and smiling like a cute fox.

Usman was overwhelmed by this smile, and before he had time to react, Yan had already left him and Shuangfang and strode to the front of the line.

"However, his words are too much." Why is his majestic king a dangerous person?Usman and Shuangya walked at the back of the team, muttering in their hearts, "He despises me as 'dangerous' and doesn't want to walk with me..."

But if you think about it carefully, whether it is the explosion or the assassin, they are all coming towards him. It can be said that his seal is turning black.

What's more, he did have "unfaithful intentions" towards Yan, and wanted to take advantage of this calamity, touch Yan's little hands, and enhance the relationship between husband and wife, which was also Usman's careful plan.

Could it be that he didn't hide deep enough, Yan had already noticed his 'careful thinking', that's why Yan was so far away from him?

Usman thought about it, and Shuangya stepped forward with his head held high. For him, every part of the dungeon was very fresh, and it was more like hunting for novelties. After all, he always stayed in Yuelang Palace, so it was really boring. Woolen cloth.

Suddenly, the little expression on Usman's face disappeared, replaced by the cold emperor's face.

"... Is it finally here?" Usman couldn't help frowning at the murderous intent hidden in the darkness, but the team still walked forward unhurriedly. This corridor was very long, as if it had no end.

Usman followed the team a few steps forward and stopped quietly. Frostfang also stood still. It was quite sensitive to murderous aura.Usman gave it a look. The man and the beast were like two black shadows, silently blending into the large darkness behind the tail of the team...

"Huh?" Yan smelled a trace of blood. Someone in the team was injured. It is normal to have a bloody smell in the air, but... this smell is very fresh, and it is sent all the way up along the wind.

Yan couldn't help but stop, and everyone stopped, looking at him puzzled.

"Your Highness, what's going on in front?"

Yan didn't answer, but looked to the back, his eyes quickly passed over everyone, and when he came to the back of the team, he suddenly found that Usman and Shuangya were not there.

"What?!" Yan was startled, and when he was about to rush over, he saw Usman and Shuangfang swaying slowly, Usman looked at everyone with a puzzled expression, and asked: "What's wrong? "

"You think you are shopping, keep up!" Yan Yi was angry, and he spoke in big Yan language. He really scared him just now. He thought that as long as the wolf was around, even the assassin Usman would I can know immediately, so I let them lag behind.

Yan can control the head but not the tail, but with so many people in the team, they must look after each other to be safe.

To put it bluntly, Yan believes that Usman has the ability to protect the people. Although he has always been a cheater, he is a complete cheater, but he does not lose the chain at critical moments.

It was as if he accidentally fainted when he fell from the ground, and it was Usman who protected him in time.

"Stones got mixed into the boots for some reason, and I panicked, so I just stopped and tidied it up." Usman said with a smile on his face, his speech and behavior were very elegant as if he was walking in the corridor of a palace.

In the past, these people would not dare to stare directly at the emperor, but now everyone is looking at Usman with undisguised admiration.

This kind of relentless admiration seems unbelievable to Yan, is it because Usman's smile is so handsome?

"Don't lose track again." Yan pinched his brows and said.

"Yes." Usman nodded lightly, "Let's continue walking."

The team started to move again, and Aya said to her sister beside her, "I didn't expect your lord to be a fearful person."

"Fear of internal affairs?" The woman looked puzzled, "Why is Your Majesty afraid of your wife?"

"Because Your Majesty's wife is that handsome young man in front."

"Prince Dayan?" The woman gasped in surprise, "You mean they are a couple? Impossible."

"Prince Dayan is a guest, and Your Majesty is the host. Have you ever seen the host turn against the guest, and the host is not angry at all?" Aya lowered her voice, "It can be seen that the two of them have no distinction between host and guest, and you have also seen Your Majesty kissed the Prince in the Colosseum, that kiss couldn’t be fake, could it?”

"I saw it, but I didn't see it clearly from such a distance, and I thought they were whispering... So, Prince Dayan and Your Majesty are actually a couple." The woman said, her tone was no longer questioning. , but a positive attitude.

Suddenly, the team stopped again, this time it was Yan who was at the front.

"What's going on?" A man following Yan was very puzzled, because more than ten steps away was an exquisite door frame built of bluestone. It was the first time they had seen a door after walking for so long, even though it was just A door frame, but could also mean it leads to an exit.

The men were a little anxious and wanted to jump over Yan and rush forward, but Yan raised his left arm to stop them, then raised his right hand, ejecting the gravel he had been holding in his hand.

These stones shot towards the dark corridor walls and floor tiles in front of them, like heavenly maids scattering flowers and fried beans, smashing the walls and crackling.

Dozens of tongues of flame burst out from the gaps in the masonry of the wall, with a choking smell of stone paint, immediately turning the place into a furnace.

"Get down!" Yan shouted.

Only then did everyone come back to their senses, and lay down on the floor with their heads in their arms. The flames illuminated the passages in front and back, and Yan saw that the walls and the ground were covered with scorched blackness. Sweat all over.

The flames came fiercely, but they dissipated quickly. After the sprayed stone paint juice and sparks were all extinguished, everyone stood up tremblingly.

"There is, there is a pillar of fire!" Everyone's face was smoked, black as if they had been wiped with ashes from a pot, but the expression of lingering fear was still clear.

"too frightening!"

"If it wasn't for His Highness the Prince's vigilance, we would all be buried in the flames."

"Yanyan, how did you know there was a trap ahead?" Usman asked.

"The color of the wall." Yan frowned, "Although the corridor in front is as dark as here, when the light from the torch passed by, I noticed that the black was strange, darker than other places, and the wall The craftsmanship of the bricks is also more mottled and rough.”

If Yan's guess is correct, then the so-called rough craftsmanship probably comes from human flesh.

Someone once, perhaps an enemy of Linze City, unfortunately fell into this flame formation, and hit the wall while struggling painfully, leaving behind pools of scorched flesh, which dried up as time went by, no matter what That being said, it's all very uncomfortable.

Yan didn't want to deepen everyone's sense of panic, so he didn't say anything about it.

"Really! Don't tell me we didn't notice it." After being reminded by Yan, everyone discovered that the color and texture of the corridor here and the corridor on fire were slightly different.And because the light in the corridor was too dark, they relied on a torch to light it, and they were very nervous, so they didn't care about the problem with this road.

"There's something wrong with this door frame, too."

Yan then pointed to the door frame and said, "If this is a stone gate, passers-by will hesitate, because he doesn't know what hidden weapon will be behind the door, so he will pay extra attention to observe the surrounding situation, but here is a A door frame. Behind the door frame is just an empty corridor as you can see. No one will be wary of something that is obvious at a glance, especially since we have traveled a long way before and have never seen anything like a 'door' , Now when I see such a finely carved 'door', I will think that I can finally get out of the maze, and I will speed up and rush forward. If I guessed correctly, this door is actually a decoy. It lures us to step on it when we run quickly. Turn the pedal and let out the flames."

The man who almost rushed over just now was covered in cold sweat. He thought so, and thought that Yan was too careful. There was an empty corridor in front of him, why should he stop.

"Is it a mechanism set up by using psychological tactics? Yan, you are amazing, and you can detect something strange after just a few glances." Usman applauded first, and then everyone applauded, and nodded in praise, "Daddy!" Prince Yan is indeed well-informed and understands everything."

"No... I'm just speculating." Yan scratched his slightly hot cheeks, "We can continue to move forward. Hurry up and go over here, go ahead and have a look, maybe there is a way out."

"Won't it burn again?" The man didn't even dare to step out with his toes.

"This mechanism has been around for a long time, and it is not easy to still be able to spew out fire at this moment."

If it hadn't killed too many people, Yan would have admired the ancient technicians who designed these mechanisms, "But this eruption should be its last activity, after all, it is an old object."

After Yan finished speaking, before everyone had time to react, they walked forward.
