Chapter 1144, Torture
Meigo was tempted to remind the Sheepmen so that the two of them would be a little more careful in front of Ren Xiaosu in the future so that they wouldn’t be subjected to any abuse.
However, he had agreed with Ren Xiaosu that he had to keep it a secret, so he wouldn’t be able to remind them directly.
Moreover, there was a sentence that Ren Xiaosu said that made sense: the escort Mox, who the Yorkshire Li family had arranged for you, as well as all of his subordinates, were directly under Qian Weining’s command, as proven by the successive bandit attacks.
So even the Li family’s guards are part of the plan, what about Li Fruit and Liu Ting?
Knowing that the Vaduz Cathedral only kept the statue of their own family’s wizard when it was renovated 60 years ago shows that the Berkeley family has been born with a revolt since that generation.
Over the years, the people of the six southern counties have only recognized the “gods” of the Berkeley family, and have long since left behind other families such as the Normans and Tudors.
What’s a couple of decades of planning to put two eyes on a wizard like you two years in advance? You see, the matter of you being chased on the way back, Li Fruit and Liu Ting told the whole story as soon as the two of them went home.
When Mei Ge thought of this, he pressed down the urge to remind the two sheep people, and just casually said to them, “You two are servants, he is a close follower, it is better to speak politely on weekdays, don’t be cynical all day long.”
The two sheepmen instantly did not say anything, but in their hearts they were still somewhat unconvinced, especially Liu Ting.
Mei Ge said in a serious tone, “This is for your own good, you know?”
“I just see him hanging around all day and night without any business, want to remind a bit,” Liu Ting muttered, “And Lord Meiguo, you see how he has a bit of the appearance of a follower, other people’s family’s follower are from the knight’s order, or is a serious gladiator, Ren Xiaosu, how about it? He hides behind the carriage every time the bandits hit.”
Ren Xiaosu glanced at Liu Ting, “Alright, next time I will charge outside, but you have to join me, it’s not too much to ask for a servant to fight along with his personal attendant, right?”
Liu Ting shrunk his neck, “Actually, hiding at the back is quite good.”
At this time, Qian Weining’s guards dragged in two bandit-dressed men from the periphery of the carriage.
Ren Xiaosu glanced at them, the two hans were dragged in from the east, one had an arrow sticking out of his thigh and the other had an arrow in his abdomen, it looked like they were enemies who had been wounded and unable to escape in the midst of a chaotic battle.
The guard said to Qian Weining, “My lord, such two living prisoners were found on the battlefield, you interrogate them.”
“Well done,” Qian Weining’s eyes lit up, “Drag them outside for me, and you go fetch the short sword from my carriage.”
Tonight, there was too much confusion in Qian Weining’s mind, so he needed to torture them to get some answers.
Not a moment later, the screams of the captives resounded outside the wagon enclosure, although Qian Weining and the others had already dragged the two hans a few hundred meters away, the screams were extraordinarily abrupt in the dead of night.
At this moment, the two captives were hung on two separate trees by the merchant guards, while Qian Weining was holding a short knife, slashing through one of them one by one.
“Who sent you here?” Qian Weining said in a cold voice.
The hanyou also had a backbone, and even sneered and spat in Qian Weining’s face, but fortunately, Qian Weining had a strong hand and dodged it.
Qian Weining’s face was ironic: “You can ah, quite tough, wait for me to peel your skin, see if you can still be so tough.”
Sorcerer country’s torture to be more bloody than the means of the Middle Kingdom, this interrogation lasted until dawn, looking at the two captives have been all over the body scars breath weak.
Qian Weining sneered and walked to one of the side whispered: “In the end who sent you here?”
At this point, the captive was already in his final days, his mind was not particularly clear, he just looked at Qian Weining and did not say anything.
But to his surprise, Qian Weining actually put his ear to it, blocked the other captive’s view with his head, and nodded his head to make an appearance of being listening.
After a while, Qian Weining instructed the guards, “Alright, take him aside to rest.”
Qian Weining smiled and walked over to the other captive and laughed in a low voice, “Your companion has already said that you are from the Tudor Knights.”
The captive hanging from the tree immediately widened his eyes, seemingly in some disbelief as he looked in the direction his companion was being helped away, but he could not see that the guard had already covered his companion’s mouth with his hand.
Qian Weining smiled and said, ”I’ve already arranged for him to go and rest, and I assure you with the honor of the Order I’m in that as long as you ask, you’ll be able to enjoy the same treatment as him. Don’t think too much of it, I’m just soft-hearted and want to give you a chance, and it’s a bit more believable with two people talking.”
The captive was silent for ten minutes before he helplessly said, “Yes, we are from the Tudor Knights.”
Qian Wei Ning’s heart thumped, he said that the Tudor Knights were just swindling the other party, and when the other party admitted it, he still couldn’t stop his mood from starting to sink.
Did the Tudor family already know about the plans of this caravan? Then wouldn’t it be no different from sending himself to his death if he continued to lead the team northward?
However, what the other party said might not be true, he still needed to continue to test the waters.
Qian Weining thought for a moment and said, “What is the purpose of your coming here, in the end, don’t you know that there are so many of us, why have you only come with such a small number of people, could it be that your superiors want to send you to your death?”
The captured man heard this, as if he also thought of something very angry, his speech was a bit louder: “How did we know that you have so many people, and looking at the body is also each and every one of the Knights’ elite?”
Qian Weining always felt something strange listening to this, he wondered, “Wait, you don’t know that we’re from the Knights?”
“Of course I don’t know,” the hanyou gritted his teeth and said, “You’re from the Burning Knights, right, otherwise it wouldn’t have been possible for you to show up on a large scale in the six southern counties, but I just can’t figure it out, Meggo is nothing more than a fringe sorcerer, why do you need so many of you to protect him? ”
“Hiccup?” Qian Weining froze, “You guys are here to kill Meigo?”
The captured man froze as well, “Who do you think we’re here to kill?”
“Heh,” Qian Weining waved his hand at the guards behind him, “Drag them down and kill them.”
This didn’t even need to be judged, Qian Weining was certain that the other party had told the truth.
The captured man roared, “You promised me with the honor of the Order!”
“I promised you the same treatment as your companion,” Qian Weining sneered, “He’s dead, you can go accompany him now.”
As early as before tonight’s battle, Ren Xiaosu had a rough idea of what kind of person Qian Weining was, a player who could still buy people’s hearts along the way after being hit by the Tear Streaming Technique could simply be said to have heart and soul growing out of his body.
