"I am a very kind person. You won't feel any pain, but you will watch your body being devoured, bit by bit. Do you know what this is?"
Su Yining took out a small jar from his shoulder bag, the size of a fist. The sweet and greasy flavor inside was originally intended for barbecue, but now it can only be used here.
The mouth of the bottle was slightly tilted, and some bright-colored honey dripped little by little on his unconscious legs.
"This is honey. I will let people drop you on the tree later, and then watch the ants eat you bit by bit. Don't worry, you should be five days away from death."
"Although you won't feel pain, you will clearly see that the meat on your legs is reducing little by little and turning into white bones. Don't worry that you may feel dizzy due to blood loss at this time."
"You will be woken up by the pain soon, and then you will know that being in a coma is really such a blessing. Slowly, your eyes, ears, and nose will be filled with ants..."
Even without actually executing it, the guide could already feel something crawling on his body. This feeling was so terrifying that he even began to feel that his own flesh and blood was being eaten away.
"No!!!" A horrified wail frightened the birds that were living around him. For a moment, the fallen leaves in the bamboo forest began to fall, and he began to roll on the ground, while the arrows that had not been pulled out penetrated deeper into his flesh again.
Su Yi Ning still looked at him expressionlessly as he whined in pain. Suddenly... there was a smell of urine, and the man was so scared that he peed his pants.
"If you say I will kill you right now, okay?" This voice was like the sound of nature in his ears. He was originally an ordinary bandit who had no loyalty or firm will.
"Ah~ I, I said... I am a villager from the Black Miao Village. I was asked by them to come to the town to be a guide. Because my father is from Chengtian, I am proficient in the languages of both ethnic groups."
"I am only responsible for bringing people here, and then the high priest will order people to control the poisonous insects to attack the passing passengers. We will kill half and release the other half, so that there will be a steady stream of merchants coming..."
The guide was not a very close person, and what he said was just some superficial information. At the same time, he revealed to them the news that the Black Miao Village was not an ordinary bandit. They had a village and follow-up power.
Our ancestors have lived like this for generations. The poor mountains and rivers breed unruly people, and the people in the area will magnify these evils and brutally kill outsiders.
If Li Chuan had not lived here before and understood the language, they would probably have fallen into a fierce battle. Now that there was no guide to report their situation through singing, the next attack would probably be more ferocious.
"Oh, you are quite good at playing and you also know how to raise fish~ Where is your village?" At this time, Su Yining was thinking about whether there are internal agents from other villages here.
Kill half and release half. What if someone promises these villages that he will bring fat sheep to the village one after another? This is very possible. The merchants who pass this road when going to Nanqing are all 50-50, except for the son of luck.
Who else returns home with a full load?
"Leng Yi, Brother Tang, go and ask who has been here more than three times and get them under control."
"Yes!" The two of them answered in unison, and the matter may be more serious now.
Tang San's first target was the fat businessman who was poaching from before, because he knew too much about this place and must have connections with certain people.
Su Yining continued to interrogate the guide and when he asked about the specific location of the village, he suddenly grabbed his own neck with both hands, looking like he wanted to strangle himself to death.
"stop!"
"Save, save, save me~" The guide pinched himself until his face turned red, his eyes bulged, and his veins throbbed, but he just couldn't control his appearance.
By the time she tried to save him, it was already too late. The guide was frothing at the mouth and died. He cut his own throat forcefully, leaving no chance of resuscitation.
"Damn it! How could this happen?" He couldn't help but burst out swearing.
Li Chuan looked solemn. All this happened too fast, and he was dead in just a few seconds. He still held the silver needle he had just pulled out in his hand.
He looked at the corpse and pulled out the corpse of a bug from his mouth: "This should be made by Hei Miao. There is a Gu woman in their village who will breed a bug that can control people. As long as it is not wrong, it will be triggered."
"I think it's probably a gimmick that doesn't look like bugs, and mind control is real." Coming from modern times, she doesn't believe that bugs can control minds, but mind control can be achieved, such as some kind of hypnosis.
"Mind control?" This was the first time Li Chuan had heard of this term. He looked at Su Yining with a somewhat inquiring look. It was strange that this princess, who had been crazy for eighteen years, was suddenly so powerful. It was hard not to make people curious.
Su Yining nodded, fiddled with the bug with his hand and said, "You look at it as a very common roundworm, it can't be a Gu bug." There must be bugs in this man's stomach, so the bugs took the opportunity to crawl up when he just vomited.
"Now the only clue is gone. I hope they can find useful information." She sighed and pulled out all the arrows stuck on the corpse.
Soon Leng Yi and the others came back and used strong methods to grab the bosses who were traveling with them and came over.
The secret guards who passed through the mountain of corpses and sea of blood were all filled with an evil aura, which was accumulated after crawling out of the pile of dead people.
The fat businessman was so frightened that he trembled and pointed at them with trembling fingers with seven or eight rings: "You, you, you are not ordinary businessmen, who are you?"
There were six caravans in the caravan, and after excluding Su Yining's men, only five were left.
The one with the most serious casualties was Boss Wang, and the one with the least losses was Boss Liu, who had an extremely ordinary appearance. He was thin, short, and very dark, with a poor appearance, but one could never imagine the value of the cloth worn by such a man.
One hundred taels of silk and satin.
"We are just doing business, but if someone wants to give us away as fat sheep to use as tolls, then they have to ask me if I am willing to be a sheep."
Li Chuan is still studying the poisonous insects and scorpions on the ground, as if he can find the lover of his dreams here. This serious look makes people dare not disturb him at all.
"Master, if you are tired, go back and rest!" Su Yining had no choice but to invite the Buddha back to the carriage. Anyway, it was very useful to protect Han Yunshen.
There has always been a lack of secret guards in the carriage. There are countless people hidden in the carriage as big as a RV...
"You...we don't understand what you are saying. You are talking about sheep and not sheep! Let us go quickly or don't blame us for being rude." Although the fat businessman was scared, he held on.
Su Yining stood in front of them, playing with the dagger in his hand: "I just want to ask a question, who told you to go to Nanqing to make a fortune?"
