Chapter 911: The Young Marquis's Broken Engagement Wife (33)
The man who was shot by the arrow obviously did not expect that someone would dare to shoot an arrow in such a crowded place, and at the back. This was completely inconsistent with the attack habits of the Yu people.
But before he could turn around to look at the person who shot him, the second arrow followed and pierced his right wrist directly.
The steel knife fell to the ground, and the moment it was grabbed by the Yu soldiers, their jaws were broken.
At first he thought this was a uniform standard for treating prisoners, but later he learned that it was to prevent them from committing suicide.
It is said that some assassins would hide poison in their mouths and take it after being caught.
Hey! What he wanted to say was that the people of Yu State really thought too much. Where did they get such a good poison that could kill people in an instant?
"General, there were about thirty assassins this time. Aside from the twenty who died while resisting, the rest have been captured alive," a soldier reported to Shangguan Ruoyu. "Their leader is unlikely to be among those who survived."
"The leader is here!" Shangguan Ruojing came over with another group of people. The soldiers were dragging a man who was hit by two arrows.
"Let's go! Let's go back to the barracks first! Ah Man must be waiting anxiously!" The leader seemed to understand at this moment, "You don't plan to kill the prisoners?"
Shangguan Ruoyu did not answer him, but the soldiers beside him took off the hood of the "person" lying on the ground, revealing the straw inside.
"A living person is much more valuable than a dead person." Shangguan Ruoyu patted the leader's face and said, "Judging from your naive appearance, your family must be very powerful among the Han people!"
The man didn't say anything, but Shangguan Ruoyu had just seen the tattoo on his chest. It was a tattoo of a ferocious beast, just like Tomur's, which meant that he was a man of status.
So they returned to the barracks with a group of prisoners.
With the success of the two ambushes, they had more and more prisoners in their hands.
No matter what these captives are in the eyes of others, in the eyes of Shangguan Ruoyu and Shangguan Ruojin, these people are living gold.
"It must be sent back. The question is how and when!" Shangguan Ruoyu was trying to persuade his uncle Shangguan Xiong to do something that might not be too good.
"Dur Khan will not be willing to pay a high price to redeem these people!" Shangguan Xiong admitted that his nephew was very smart, but he was too young and did not know Dur Khan well.
"I have been dealing with him for so many years, and you have never seen his stinginess." Shangguan Xiong couldn't help but say with disdain when mentioning Dur Khan.
Such a familiar tone made his two nephews look at Shangguan Xiong. As if realizing that he had said too much, he quickly changed the subject: "Ayu, tell me what your plan is first, so we can discuss it!"
"Just send an envoy over to negotiate!" Shangguan Ruoyu still had certain requirements for the candidate, "From the soldiers to the negotiating officer, they must be talkative. We must let everyone on Dur Khan's side know that we are willing to send the people back."
"Not only that, we need to injure these people before sending them back," Shangguan Ruoyu explained. "Most of those assigned to this job are quite skilled. We can't afford to give them the opportunity to seek revenge on us later."
Shangguan Ruojin, who had been silent until then, also started to offer advice: "It's not that troublesome. Just cut one of the tendons in your hand or foot. They don't have the technology to reconnect severed tendons."
Gao Qin stood behind Shangguan Xiong, looking at Shangguan Ruoyu and the others with a tingling sensation on his scalp.
Did they learn bad things from others, or were they just like that? Although those ideas just now were good, they sounded awkward to me.
"Actually, there's no need to cut off their hand or foot tendons." Shangguan Ruojing felt somewhat disgusted with his brother and sister. "Why bother looking for the tendons? Since the result is the same, just chop off their hands or feet."
Gao Qin: (°ロ°)!? Originally I thought that among the three siblings, Shangguan Ruojing was the most "kindhearted". Now it seems that I didn't give him any chance before. This time I let him speak, and he just made a big move.
Shangguan Xiong, who was having a headache, rubbed his brow and said, "Forget it, let's go ask Durr for the ransom first! Let's get the money back first. By the way, it doesn't matter if that idiot refuses to pay real money.
Ferghana horses, famous horses from Dayuan, pearls, agates, and Hetian jade, gold, silver, and night-shining pearls—as long as he’s willing to give them, I’ll take them!”
