Qiu Wu was somewhat nervous, but he still steadied himself. When he saw the Xiongnu approach to question them, he let Wei You step forward to answer, as instructed by Zhao Hanzhang.
"Just say we found some rare treasures and are transporting them back for the General to inspect."
Wei You didn't expect them to be so bold. If he shouted "Jin Army" or "Enemy Attack" right now, they would surely be doomed.
But...
Why would he do that?
They were all slaves anyway. At least Zhao Hanzhang pretended to treat them as humans, though it seemed fake now, but fake is still fake. Either way, shouting would get him killed; Qiu Wu could easily stab him from behind.
If Zhao Hanzhang's plan failed, he would be the first to die.
With these thoughts swirling in his mind, he loudly responded to the Xiongnu soldier's questions.
The other party didn't examine them closely either. He glanced at the few carriages in their convoy and stepped aside to let them through the checkpoint.
