Chapter 2101: Chapter 2101: Escaped
He must fear being bitten so painfully that he’d wish he were dead if it falls onto him, right?
“I heard from the mistress that these captured Black Scorpions of the Heavenly Domain were fed a lot of poisonous herbs, right? Are they even more toxic now?” Jiang Li asked Ding Rong in a calm tone.
Upon hearing this, Ding Rong paused in her motion and looked up with irritation at Jiang Li.
“Of course, look here, so many poisonous herbs to feed these scorpions, how could they not be more toxic?”
“If they are too toxic, could they directly kill a person?” Jiang Li asked.
“We still need to extract so information from his mouth, don’t want him dying on us just yet.”
“Definitely not.”
Ding Rong rolled her eyes and responded.
“These Black Scorpions of the Heavenly Domain, even if fed with more poisonous herbs, won’t kill a person imdiately; at most, they would only increase the victim’s pain several tis over, that’s all.
Anyway, it’s not us who will be suffering, but him!”
Saying this, she cast an ominous look towards the guard.
Seeing this, Jiang Zuo grabbed the guard’s collar, pulled him up, and positioned the guard’s back right towards Ding Rong.
“What are we waiting for then, release the scorpions now,” he said to Ding Rong.
“Alright!”
Ding Rong gleefully responded and made a motion to open the box.
“Ah!”
The guard finally ca to his senses, his body tense as he scread.
“Don’t, don’t, I’ll talk, I’ll say everything.”
Perhaps if it were soone else, they might have endured, thinking the Black Scorpions of the Heavenly Domain are nothing much, but not him. He had seen people stung by them before, poisoned and wishing for death yet unable to die.
The sight was truly unbearable.
He absolutely did not want to beco soone like that; he still wanted to live a good life.
“Should have just spoken sooner, ask away.”
Ding Rong took back the box in her hand and glanced at Jiang Zuo and Jiang Li.
“Who is your master? Secondary Consort Yuan?” Jiang Zuo imdiately asked.
“Yes…”
“Hmm?”
The guard was about to respond but was t by Jiang Zuo’s fierce gaze and imdiately shook his head.
“No, not Secondary Consort Yuan, it’s… it’s the Eighth Prince.” The guard stamred, looking fearfully at them.
“Eighth…”
“The Eighth Prince of Ziyan Kingdom, isn’t that Yin Lvqing?” Ding Rong asked upon hearing the guard’s words.
Upon hearing her words, Jiang Zuo simply glanced at her and didn’t answer, but continued to stare at the guard.
“What about Secondary Consort Yuan then, why did you send people over to her courtyard?” he asked.
It was expected that the guard was Yin Lvqing’s man, nothing surprising there.
But why would the person Yin Lvqing wanted to deal with end up being sent to Secondary Consort Yuan’s courtyard? Could it be that Secondary Consort Yuan was originally Yin Lvqing’s person?
“I… although I am the master’s man, I am also… also a person bribed by Secondary Consort Yuan with silver. The master instructed to always keep an eye on Princess Consort Niu, and if there’s any suspicious person, I could directly send them to Secondary Consort Yuan so she could covertly handle them.”
The guard said.
That’s what he had always done before; whenever he spotted soone suspicious visiting Princess Consort Niu, he’d hand them over to Secondary Consort Yuan, then make up so excuse for Secondary Consort Yuan to kill them.
That definitely saved him a lot of trouble.
Only, what he hadn’t expected was that Secondary Consort Yuan turned out to be so useless, unable to deal with even two adults and a child, letting them escape.
