“You follow the tigers back to the tribe’s village and ask the Orange Guardian to treat them. 1 will continue to go after them.”
When Zhang Shulun heard that Su Ying wanted to go alone, he couldn’t help but say nervously, “Miss… Miss, they are too ferocious. It is too dangerous for you to go alone.”
Su Ying looked in the direction of the Shinloh Tribe and said, “Who knows who is in danger? Let’s go.” She patted the tigers’ heads, and the tigers turned around and pulled the carriage back.
After the carriage left, Su Ying continued to head toward the Shinloh Tribe. There was no way she could lose her way at all as there was a large patch of markings on the ground.
As she followed the markings, she could still see people scattered all over the ground, but they were all dead.
The houses of these tribes were all built with wood. If she stood at a high place, she could see them at a glance.
Su Ying took out a pair of binoculars from her interspatial store and climbed up a tree. She saw a group of people pulling horses and charging into the tribe’s village.
Su Ying descended from the tree and ran towards the tribe’s village.
In the Shinloh Tribe’s village, the leader of the Nan State people raised his saber and chopped off the head of one of the tribe members. The other tribe members cried out in fear when they saw this.
“Did you see that? This is the outcome if you resist. If you know what’s good for you, hand over all the medicinal herbs. Otherwise, I’ll make all of you disappear from this land like the Taloh Tribe!”
The tribal chief of the Shinloh Tribe was so angry that he gripped the shovel in his hand tightly. “Those medicinal herbs are what we rely on to survive. If we give them all to you, how will we be able to exchange them for food next year?” The man from Nan State gave a disdainful sneer. “Who cares whether you live or die? If you don’t give them to me, we will rob! Anyone who tries to stop us, we will kill!”
With his order, those people with sabers rushed into the crowd of tribe members.
“Stop them!” The tribal chief roared out loud.
The people from both sides instantly started fighting.
However, the people in the tribe were all diligent herb farmers. How could they be a match for these villains? In addition, the enemies had many people, so the people in the tribe fell one by one.
The elderly, women, and children all hid in their homes in fear, but those people would not let them off at all.
Those people carried sabers in their hands and kicked open the doors of the wooden houses one by one. They wantonly plundered the valuables, medicinal herbs, and even young women in the houses.
“Let… let go of me. I’ll give you everything. Don’t… don’t take my mother away…” When the young child saw his mother being dragged out, he cried and went forward to cling to the looter.
That looter gave a scornful sneer and gave a kick at the child’s chest. The child cried out in pain and his body was flung out like a rag.
“Child, my child… Gasp!” The woman wanted to rush forward, but the man grabbed her hair and dragged her out.
He became somewhat impatient. After kicking the woman down, he pressed his body down on her.
“Bitch! It’s your fortune to be able to serve me. Enjoy it well! Hahahaha!”
“No! I beg you to let my daughter go…” The old woman went forward to plead, but she was punched by the man and the impact sent her body crashing onto the stone pillar. Blood flowed out of her temple, and in the blink of an eye, she was dead.
The man tore ruthlessly at the young girl’s clothes. The girl was too weak to struggle and bumped her head onto the saber in that man’s hand.
Fresh blood splattered all over the man’s face. The man stopped what he was doing and cursed at his bad luck. He was so angry that he threw the corpse off the bed. He even stomped on it a few times to vent his anger before he left the house with the things he had looted in a bad mood.
To his surprise, just as he walked out of the house, he saw a beautiful figure standing not far away. His interest, which had died down earlier, was immediately aroused.
“The women here… Each one is better looking than the previous one. Hahaha!” The man laughed and reached out to grab her.
However, before he could touch the corner of her clothes, she turned around quickly and smashed the sledgehammer in her hand on his head.
The man felt his head go blank. It seemed that he could hear the sound of his skull cracking. Before he could come back to his senses, he fell to his knees in front of Su Ying.
Su Ying wiped the blood off her face without any emotion. She then turned around and ran to the roof of a house before roaring out, “Who the fuck dares to touch my things?”
Su Ying shouted through a voice amplifier, and all the rampaging people from the Nan State turned to look at her.
When they saw that she was a thin woman, they all sneered. “Where did this slut come from? Are you afraid that we didn’t notice you… Argh!”
Before the man could finish his sarcastic words, a bullet pierced through his forehead.
The man’s eyes widened as he stared in Su Ying’s direction in disbelief. He died with his eyes wide open, but that was all he could do.
Su Ying didn’t give them a chance to react. She sprayed a shower of bullets at them, taking them down one by one.
By the time those people came back to their senses, there were already more than a dozen people lying on the ground without any signs of life.
“Where did this bitch come from? Capture her!”
The people from the Nan State roared in rage and lunged at Su Ying.
Su Ying tilted her head and a bloodthirsty sneer appeared on her lips. “You’re courting death.”
Bullets flew out, and before those people could get close to her, they had already collapsed into a pool of blood.
When they saw more and more people falling, those people panicked.
“Retreat first! Retreat! Retreat!”
Su Ying’s eyes narrowed. “Want to escape? I won’t allow it.”
She jumped down nimbly from the roof and chased those people.
“Argh!”
Those who ran away were hit by bullets again and again. In the end, in a group of a few hundred people, less than one-fifth were left.
“Heroine, please spare us, please spare us. We… we are also under orders. We beg you, Heroine. Please spare us.”
When the other party saw Su Ying splashing through pools of blood on the ground as she headed toward them like a Grim Reaper coming for their souls, they were so frightened that they all knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. Su Ying pressed the barrel of her gun against the speaker’s forehead, her eyes filled with sinister chilliness. “Who told you guys to come?”
“It’s… it’s the Li Clan of the Nan State. It’s the Li Clan who sent us here. They paid us money and wanted… wanted us to destroy… destroy these tribes and snatch their medicinal herbs.”
“The reason?”
“The Nan State and the Chu State are very… very likely to… to go to war again. The Nan State needs a large amount of medicinal herbs. The Li Clan… the Li Clan is in the medicinal herb business. They want… want…”
“They want to make a fortune from the state’s crisis.” Therefore, before a large-scale war truly broke out, they had to cut off all methods of obtaining medicinal herbs for the citizens or the army. After all, it was freezing cold now, and the supplies from the Imperial Court would not arrive so quickly.
“They… they… are the main culprits. We… we’re just carrying out the deed after taking the money.”
Su Ying looked down at him. “Go back and tell the Li Clan that if they dare to have any designs on these tribes again, 1 will kill my way to the Nan State and tear them apart!”
How could the man have the guts to go against her? He only answered in the affirmative repeatedly, promising that he would convey the message.
“Get lost.”
Those men scrambled away when they heard that.
“Tribal Chief? Tribal Chief, are you alright?”
“Father… Father!”
Su Ying turned her head and saw the helpless and fearful expressions on the faces of the people from these tribes. She gradually frowned..
