Chapter 332: Choose the Lesser of Two Evils



Except for a small portion of the money that belonged to Sun Meng, all the remaining treasures belonged to Leng Yue and Huo Jingxuan.

Everyone was very experienced in this area and they quickly cleaned up the battlefield. When they left, they did not forget to set a fire and burned Prince Jing's Mansion clean to the ground.

On the way back, I collected the sheep and cattle on the way.

The eight village chiefs had been thinking about these sheep for a long time. Now they finally got what they wanted. They were so embarrassed that tears flowed from their mouths.

Sun Jiming thought they were embarrassing, so he stayed away from the eight of them the whole time, trying not to see them.

Everyone had worked hard all day, and Leng Yue decided to have a celebration party in the evening. The main purpose of the bonfire party was to roast some lamb and stew some lamb under the name of the party. Everyone ate and drank.

I can see it, touch it, but I can't eat it. That feeling of being anxious and upset is so uncomfortable.

Sure enough, her proposal was approved by everyone, and Sun Meng even took on the job of stewing the mutton.

He patted his chest and assured everyone, "Just hold it!

We offer mutton soup, hand-pulled meat and milk tea, and we provide a one-stop service for the whole mutton feast. I guarantee you will want more after this meal."

Leng Yue took the lead and decided on this matter. After all, she had plenty of sheep in her space, so she had no worries about having no sheep to eat.

At worst, we can just let him cook a few sheep. What if they are really delicious? It would be nice to have an extra chef in the future.

Outside, people were busy slaughtering sheep and preparing for a bonfire party.

Huo Jingxuan and Sun Jiming were writing an imperial edict to the three generals of Yuxu who were hiding in the mountains. The content was very concise, "Yuxu has been destroyed and has now been incorporated into the embrace of Daliang. I hope you will bring your troops back to Wuwei City to report within 30 days."

The edict was written and the last step was passed to Leng Yue, who sprinkled it with a slow-acting poison she had specially prepared.

The deadline for the outbreak was forty days, and they had calculated it in advance. It would take at least ten days for the imperial edict to reach the hands of the three generals.

If they were really obedient and organized their troops to set out, even if they moved slowly on the road, they would be able to reach their destination in 30 days.

But if they don't listen and have their own little thoughts and plans, it won't work. Once the deadline is reached, they will die of poisoning.

And there won't be any signs beforehand, so they won't be able to detect it even if you kill them.

The most important thing is that this poison is colorless and odorless, and even a silver needle cannot detect it.

Apart from Leng Yue who had the antidote, even if a miracle doctor came he could only stare helplessly and watch those three guys die.

This is not the worst part, it is to prevent the people under them from taking revenge on their general.

This poison does not end when a person dies. After death, the body becomes a major source of poison. Anyone who touches or gets close to it will be infected.

Then, like a plague, it spreads and breaks out rapidly until everyone is dead.

However, in order to prevent a large-scale outbreak of plague, this poison can only be transmitted from corpse to human, and will completely lose its effectiveness within half a month.

It is estimated that most of those people would be dead in half a month.

Leng Yue saw that Sun Jiming had no expression at all throughout the whole process, so she asked him, "Do you think I am too cruel and too ruthless?"

Sun Jiming shook his head, "No, if you were really cruel, you wouldn't even give them a chance to choose.

Just poison them to death and that's it. After all, you have the ability to do so.

On the contrary, it is the right choice for you to do so.

When two powers conflict with each other, choose the lesser one.

If they really have rebellious intentions, if you don't kill them directly, they will attack you like dogs.

Not to mention the trouble, the ordinary people along the way will suffer.

Wherever they pass by, it will be like a swarm of locusts, with no grass growing.

Livestock were seized and confiscated, and women were raped and killed.

Those beasts have no humanity at all and won't even let go of little kids.

If they really attack and fight against our soldiers, no matter who wins in the end, there will be countless casualties.

Whose son, whose husband, whose father is this? Countless families will be ruined by this.

So I support you in doing this.”

At this time, Huo Jingxuan suddenly shouted towards the door.

"If you want to listen, just come in and listen openly. Sneaking around is the behavior of a thief."

The door was opened, and Sun Meng and the seven village chiefs came in with embarrassed looks on their faces.

As soon as he came in, he expressed his opinion, “Mrs. Huo, I tell you, you are still too kind. You let them choose!

Just poison them to death with a packet of medicine and send them to report to the King of Hell.

I don't know the nature of those three guys. They will definitely take advantage of this opportunity to interfere and stir up trouble for us.

Besides, the drug takes 40 days to take effect, so what if they harm others on the road?"

Leng Yue had originally thought of giving them a chance, but now it seems there is no need.

Finally, everyone discussed it and decided to leave the task of delivering the letter to the secret guards.

And make preparations for both situations: first deliver the letter, and then set up an ambush.

Once they are sure that they have really decided to rebel, they will go straight to the upper hand and poison them.

When this poison is combined with the poison in the letter, the original forty-day effect of the medicine will be greatly shortened and the onset will be earlier.

I guarantee that they will die in their own territory and will not go out to harm the people along the way.

This is perfect, as it provides opportunities while minimizing risks.

Everything is planned, and now it’s time for everyone’s favorite part.

Everyone went out together, and Huo Jingxuan announced, "The bonfire party starts now, everyone eat and drink well."

Suddenly the atmosphere became cheerful, and the air was filled with the aroma of meat.

No one knew whether it was the mutton that was good or Sun Meng's cooking skills. From the mutton soup to the hand-pulled meat, they were all so delicious. In the end, the pot and the bowl were clean and everything was eaten up.

Just when everyone had eaten and drunk their fill and were ready to go back to sleep.

Suddenly there was a sound of drums from below, and Sun Meng jumped up.

Shouting, "Enemy attack!"

Then he took up his weapon and rushed out first, followed by the other village leaders.

Huo Jingxuan, Leng Yue, Sun Jiming and a group of secret guards could no longer sit still, and they all picked up their weapons and rushed out.

It turned out that the people in Yucheng rebelled and did not want to leave their homes.

They thought that there was strength in numbers, and that if they united, they would be able to defeat these scattered soldiers by relying on their numbers.

Then the two informants said, “They suddenly started a riot and rushed over with their own chopping knives, kitchen knives and axes.

There were twenty people in a group, and they were like crazy, chopping anyone they saw.

Besides, it was the middle of the night and everyone was tired, so they really got a taste of the sweetness.

Ten brothers were chopped, five of them were chopped the most severely and were chopped into meat paste on the spot.

Although the remaining five were rescued, they were too seriously injured and did not survive.

He just left one sentence, saying that he would ask you to avenge them, and then he died.

He didn't even close his eyes. He died with his eyes open!

Big boss, you must avenge your brothers, otherwise they will not be reconciled and will not be able to close their eyes even after they reach the end of the world."
