Yang Wenxiao did not send Tong Sanlang to check the secret tunnel but kept Tong Sanlang by his side as a personal guard.
Ren Zhong led his men up, and the entrance of the secret tunnel was overgrown with weeds. It was rarely visited by people from Anping Village, and after the initial curiosity faded, even the residents of Bailu Town stopped coming. Without human disturbance, the area became a domain of wild grass.
Ren Zhong first led his men to clear the weeds before entering the secret tunnel with torches in hand. The tunnel was quite long, and although no grass grew inside, there was plenty of animal feces.
For the animals on the mountain, it served as a perfect sanctuary from the weather, a place to hide whenever it was windy or raining. Consequently, over a year, feces covered the ground.
Such a place was highly disrespectful to welcome the descendants of Liuli.
