"Your Highness, no matter how we interrogate, not a single one of them speaks. What should we do?" Despite using severe torture, those Xiongnu Assassins still refused to speak. They even threw those Assassins into the sea, yet they remained silent. Clearly, they were not mute, but they acted mute, not uttering a single word.
