"You two can rest assured," You Gu chuckled, revealing his sharp little fangs. However, he didn't look youthful and heroic, but rather rather sinister. "If you're eaten by these treasures, you won't even have corpses left. Even if Tianqi sends people to investigate, they won't find any clues."
He took a step back, and the flute player played the flute again. The sound was sharp and piercing, and the insects and snakes suddenly crawled over like crazy.
The young boys and girls around also smiled without disguising anything, singing and dancing, looking very happy.
It seems like they are already celebrating.
However, Jiang Wenjing and Jiang Zhiyu, who were already dead in their eyes, looked at them with strange eyes.
It's like watching a group of performing monkeys.
Jiang Wenjing even put away his sword.
Yugu frowned.
Have they given up resistance?
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw that the next second, the dense swarms of snakes and insects all stopped about ten feet away from them!
A hint of surprise flashed in the flute player's eyes, and he played a little faster. However, no matter what he ordered, the snakes and insects did not move.
Piper: “???”
Yugu: “???”
Other boys and girls: “???”
"Impossible! What did you do?!"
You Gu put away his smile and said sternly.
In order to ensure the smooth implementation of the plan, these snakes and insects have been carefully trained. With the blessing of Plan's flute, there is no reason for such a situation to occur!
But if you want to kill someone and silence them without causing trouble, today is the best time!
Yugu's pupils almost became a line, and at first glance they looked almost like a snake's. Then, he pulled out a dagger from his waist, slashed it across his palm, and then splashed blood!
The flute player Plan realized what he wanted to do at the first moment. He wanted to use his own blood to stimulate the wildness of these beasts!
As Yugu's blood was spilled, Plan's flute sounded.
The smell of blood did indeed agitate the snakes and insects, and they did move.
But it did not bite Jiang Wenjing and Jiang Zhiyu as Yougu and Pulan thought, but turned around and crawled towards them!
Plan: “!!!”
Yugu: “!!!”
Other boys and girls: “!!!”
Plan played a few more times, but the snakes and insects attracted by the smell of blood still swarmed towards this side like crazy.
For a moment, everyone became panicked, screams and the sounds of various musical instruments rose and fell.
Jiang Zhiyu chuckled and raised his voice, "It's well known that the only powerful poison in the South is the Gu worm. Since we dared to come here, we naturally made sufficient precautions. I just don't know how many of you can survive being attacked by the Gu worm."
As soon as she finished speaking, a young man fell down.
The silver needle inserted in his throat was emitting a cold light.
Jiang Wenjing did not draw his sword, but grabbed the panicked Nan Gu boy with one hand. With a "crack", he let go of his hand, and the boy's body fell limply at his feet.
Having been dealing with drugs for many years, the Nan Gu people prefer to be alone and seem to be indifferent to friendship.
But even so, no one can remain indifferent and watch outsiders slaughter their own people.
Although they thought so, they really couldn't do anything because there were too many poisonous insects.
The phrase "shooting oneself in the foot" is the most appropriate description.
In the midst of chaos, several old men hurried over, each leaning on a cane and wearing a long robe, with a live snake coiled around their cane.
“Stop, stop!”
The boys and girls stopped obediently, and as they ran over, the snakes and insects retreated as if they saw their natural enemies.
Jiang Zhiyu and Jiang Wenjing turned a deaf ear.
In the blink of an eye, three more people fell down. Everyone glared at them, their fingers ready to move.
It’s not that they don’t want to fight, but it’s just as Jiang Zhiyu said, most people are not strong in fighting and can only rely on poisonous insects.
The scene just now was still vivid in their minds. Those carefully cultivated snakes and insects did not dare to approach them, let alone their own poisonous insects.
So they could only watch and hope that the elders would stop it.
"You two, this is all a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding!"
The oldest elder was panting, speaking and signaling with his eyes.
Everyone immediately hid behind them.
The exceptions are Puran and Yugu.
"Young man, you're brave," the elder said, bowing slightly. "After all, one of Nan Gu's princes died at the hands of Tianqi. Princess Tudora is paralyzed and can't bear this loss. My methods were drastic. I hope the two envoys will forgive me."
"It doesn't matter if you can't swallow this breath," Jiang Zhiyu said, looking at the corpses on the ground meaningfully. "Let go of the anger you can't swallow. Now these people have also swallowed it."
"Is there anyone among you who is still struggling? I can help you out."
Everyone's face turned pale.
The leading elder was stunned, obviously not expecting her to say that. After realizing what she was saying, he didn't even frown: "No matter what, they made their own choices, and this outcome is their own fault."
"In other words, the elders are unaware of this matter?"
"Of course I don't know."
Jiang Zhiyu said, "Oh!" "Murdering an envoy is a serious crime no matter where it happens, right? I hope the elders can give us a reasonable explanation. Otherwise, if it gets out, won't people say that Tianqi is weak and can be bullied? Envoys have no human rights when they are on a mission. They can be beaten and killed at will."
She curled her lips, looking aggrieved.
Everyone looked at the corpse on the ground in silence, then looked up at her, looked at the corpse, and then looked at her again.
This is called beating and killing at will?!
The elder was silent for a moment. "What do you two want to explain?"
"Simple," Jiang Zhiyu blinked. "Those who planned and carried it out will be sentenced to death. As for the others, let's just follow the elders' advice and sentence them to be ignorant. Do you have the caning here? Or flogging?"
Before she could finish her words, one of the elders could not help but knock the ground with his cane: "Don't go too far!"
"What do you mean by excessive?" Jiang Wenjing's voice was low and tinged with anger. "Have you forgotten the scene just now when the ground was covered with poisonous insects? If we didn't have some skills, we would have been buried in the stomachs of those beasts by now!"
"You want our lives, but my sister is kind and only wants the life of the mastermind. You've spared the lives of everyone else. Is that too much?"
"This is truly a barbaric land, uneducated and unable to distinguish between good and evil!"
Elder: “…”
Others: “…”
Everyone's faces turned red and white with anger. Some of the hot-tempered ones were about to start a fight, but were quickly stopped by the people around them.
But no matter how angry they were, they couldn't think of any rebuttal.
The elder tried to change the subject: "The investigation will take time. The king is already waiting for you two in the palace. Why don't you go see the king first? Once we have thoroughly investigated, we will bring the thief's head before you."
