"Uncle Zhong, we remind you again, no matter what happens later, we will not act. If you don't make a sound to alert the enemy, you must not speak." Leng Ruo Li said, looking at Uncle Zhong again.
"Yes, Your Consort. Your subordinate remembers."
Uncle Zhong nodded earnestly.
Whether the person was his old wife or not, he couldn't stop the Prince and Princess from rescuing those children.
Even if that person was his old wife, he couldn't let her harm other people's children.
Uncle Zhong thought to himself.
Afterward, Leng Ruo Li took out two miniature handguns from her space, quickly attached silencers, and handed one to Jun Mo Han.
Each with a gun, husband and wife raised their hands and shot the two men in black in front of the cave entrance.
Immediately, the Cold King and his consort, along with Uncle Zhong, cautiously approached the cave entrance.
The area outside the cave entrance was overgrown with weeds taller than people. Therefore, fearing they might alert those inside the stone cave, the three of them slowly, step by step, pushed aside the grass and approached the cave entrance.
As the three arrived outside the stone cave entrance, they could see a passage leading into the mountain. This passage was surprisingly open-air, and they could see the moon in the sky.
The silvery white light, like clear frost, shone into the passage of the stone cave, illuminating the path for the three of them.
This passage was wide enough for three people to walk side by side, and tall enough, estimated to be three meters high. However, both sides were rough stone walls, damp and with the sound of dripping water. The walls were covered with moss, and they stepped on moss-covered stones.
At this moment, the sound of children's screams, one after another, echoed from inside the mountain cave.
Jun Mo Han and Leng Ruo Li rushed in quickly, but halfway through, they stopped because they heard footsteps coming from ahead in the passage, and these footsteps were getting closer to them.
To avoid alerting the enemy and allowing the mastermind inside the stone cave to escape, the Cold King and his consort immediately found a hidden pit to hide in.
When the four men in black came out to investigate, passing by where the Cold King and his consort and Uncle Zhong were hiding, they didn't check carefully and walked past. The spot where the three were hiding was also a blind spot, and these four men in black did not go in, so they couldn't discover that three people were hiding there.
However, it was precisely because of the carelessness of these four men in black that they were shot twice in the head by Jun Mo Han and Leng Ruo Li respectively not long after they walked out. The four men in black fell to the ground dead on the spot.
They didn't even realize how they had died.
Looking at the dark weapons in the hands of the Cold King and his consort, a look of horror flashed in Uncle Zhong's eyes. When the Cold King and his consort used these weapons at the entrance of the stone cave, he hadn't seen clearly how they had used the black iron weapons to kill the two men in black and make them die silently.
But just now, he had clearly seen the scene of the Cold King and his consort killing people with these weapons.
The black iron in the hands of his Prince and Princess was too powerful; it could shatter a person's head with a single shot...
After a moment of stunned silence...
Uncle Zhong looked at the Cold King and his consort and said with a choked voice, "Prince, Princess, can your subordinate ask you for one thing?"
"Uncle Zhong, what is it, just say it?"
Just as the Cold King and his consort were about to continue walking into the stone cave, Uncle Zhong called out to them.
"Prince, Princess, when you encounter my old wife later, can you please not use the weapons in your hands to kill her?" Uncle Zhong said with some embarrassment, his voice choked with emotion.
"Yes, we didn't plan to kill her with a single shot anyway, because we still want to get some information from her, so we won't kill her on the spot," Leng Ruo Li replied sternly.
"Good, then your subordinate thanks the Prince and Princess on behalf of my old wife."
Uncle Zhong lifted his wide sleeve and dabbed at the tears in the corner of his eyes.
"Let's go, Uncle Zhong, you have to keep up!"
Leng Ruo Li and Jun Mo Han both saw the tears in Uncle Zhong's eyes, but they had not yet figured out what role Madam Zhong played in the bean-pairing incident.
They also didn't know what to say to Uncle Zhong.
With that, Leng Ruo Li and Jun Mo Han walked further into the depths of the mountain cave.
When the three of them reached the entrance of the stone house in the deepest part of the cave, a weak cry for help from a little boy came from inside: "Please, please don't stab me with needles anymore, it really hurts!"
"Shut up! If you don't want to die, little brat, cooperate with me to draw blood. Otherwise, you won't go back to see your parents."
A woman immediately threatened the child.
The voice of this woman was exactly the same as Madam Zhong's. Hearing this voice, Uncle Zhong's feet suddenly faltered, almost kicking over a round stone next to him. Fortunately, Jun Mo Han reacted quickly and stepped on the round stone to stabilize it, thus not alarming the people inside the stone house.
"Wuwu... I want to see my parents, I want to see my parents, I don't want to draw blood..."
The little boy struggled desperately, but it was to no avail, as he was held tightly by his hands and feet by two men in black.
Seeing the little boy struggling and crying incessantly, the woman became very irritable. She raised her hand and slapped the little boy twice.
"Cry, cry, cry, all you do is cry! If you cry again, you'll be thrown down the mountain like that little boy this morning and fall to your death." the woman roared.
At this moment, the little boy immediately stopped crying, shook his head repeatedly, and said with a look of fear, "Don't throw me down the mountain, don't throw me down the mountain... I'll be good and let you draw blood."
"Heh heh, that's being good, isn't it? Otherwise, you'll be thrown down the mountain by these uncles in black like that little boy from this morning."
The woman mentioned this again to the little boy.
After speaking, she slowly picked out several silver needles of medium length from a stone table covered with various porcelain jars, knives, and needles of all lengths, and approached the young boy.
Seeing the long needles in her hand, the little boy trembled all over and started to cry heartbreakingly.
"No, no, I beg you not to stab me, wuwu..."
Regardless of the boy's crying and wailing, the woman directly ordered the two men in black beside her to strip the boy's upper clothes, preparing to insert needles to draw blood and feed the蛊虫 (gu worms).
But at this moment, Leng Ruo Li and Jun Mo Han rushed in with their handguns. With incredible speed, they dealt with the six men in black inside the stone house, leaving only the woman with the black veil and two little boys.
One of the little boys was lying on the bed, unconscious, while the other boy was hiding in a corner, terrified.
The woman wearing the black veil in the stone house was a little surprised to see the Cold King and his consort rush in, but she could only pretend not to know them.
"Who are you? How dare you trespass into my stone house? Aren't you afraid of death?"
