"Mr. Tian, should we go back and discuss this with Mountain Leader? If they're prepared for us, the few of us will be walking right into a trap."
Tian Er laughed smugly. "Look at how cowardly you are. Even if we're caught, as long as Lord Shan steps forward, they won't dare touch us. They'll have to respectfully escort us out of the city like always."
"But we killed their local official last time. I'm afraid it won't be so easy to get away this time." The men beside him knew that their previous skirmishes were minor. To avoid a war between the two nations, the other side had just swallowed their anger.
But this time was different. They had committed a major murder. For all they knew, a trap was already waiting for them inside.
