Wu Yun looks at all the curious faces staring at him, and arrives at a confusing conclusion.
"None of you is dead or maimed." He almost feels betrayed by this. He was led to believe that the Prince's mansion would be a treacherous place with dangers lurking in every corner, but everyone looks well fed, and as previously noted, not dead.
He opens up his fan again to whisper to Lan Tian, "I'm going to kill Jiang Tanmei." Was all that training for nothing?
"Excellent observation skills," says the young man throwing the chess piece in the air. He catches it in his hand and walks towards Wu Yun and Lan Tian. "I'm Rong Jizi, from Chang'an, and who might you be?"
Rong Jizi moves like he owns the whole room. He has large, almost owlish eyes, and a mean slash of a mouth. He seems to have some sort of authority over the other captives, because they all remain silent as he speaks.
