"Sir, it was my fault that I let them escape." The crossbowman could only come forward and admit his mistake at this time. If he didn't say anything, he would suffer a terrible fate.
It would be better for him to admit his mistake honestly. Of course, he would not say that he could not win, as saying so would make him seem particularly useless.
However, he didn't understand An Rou, and these two mistakes would not be forgiven by An Rou.
An Rou stared at him coldly and ruthlessly, asking him word by word, "Mistake? Do you know that mistakes are absolutely not allowed to happen here?"
What's the point of keeping someone who can't even make such a mistake? The murderous intent in An Rou's eyes became more and more obvious, as if she was going to kill him in the next second.
How could the archer, whose martial arts skills were now completely destroyed, withstand An Rou's momentum? He was forced to kneel down with a look of pain on his face.
This made An Rou realize that something was wrong. She stood up and walked towards him, reaching out to feel his pulse, her face becoming increasingly uglier.
"Is this what you call a mistake?! You're a loser. Even your martial arts skills have been ruined." An Rou was so angry when she saw him that she could no longer hold back.
The crossbowman didn't dare to speak anymore, as if saying one more word would make him die faster.
But An Rou had already heard everything on the way here. At this moment, she squatted down and looked him in the face. "It's fine if you're a waste, but you actually let her use you to hit me in the face? Do you know what I was thinking when she humiliated me like this? And do you know that I would never allow my subordinates to humiliate me like this?"
"Your Excellency..." He already knew that his death was approaching, and for a moment he didn't know what to say, so he said hard, "It is my incompetence, Your Excellency, please grant me death."
He had devoted almost his entire life to the imperial guards of Miaojiang. Killing enemies wantonly on the battlefield and losing all his martial arts skills was already a very painful thing for him. He even didn't know what he was going to do in the future. It would be better to let the envoy kill him now. At least this way the envoy could calm down.
"Death is too easy for you." An Rou stood up and took out a small bottle.
An Rou opened the small bottle, and soon a small centipede crawled out. However, it was different from ordinary centipedes. It was covered with colorful colors, very similar to the tattoos on the guards.
When the people present saw the centipede, they all exclaimed in surprise. They never expected to see one of the sacred objects of their Miao area, the "Seven-Colored Centipede" at this time!
Legend has it that this centipede is extremely vicious. Anyone touched by it will immediately contract a skin disease. If bitten by it, the poison will quickly spread throughout the body, and the person will fall into horrible pain, as if the body is being eaten away bit by bit by thousands of ants.
Why, why is this colorful centipede in the hands of the envoy? Does the king trust the envoy so much
They didn't dare to ask more questions about this. After all, no one wanted to be the next person to suffer, so they could only stand aside and wait quietly.
The crossbowman never expected that he would be sentenced to death. He was stunned and a little scared when he looked at the colorful centipede.
"Mr. Envoy, please give me a quick death!" He didn't want to die in such torment at all. In the past, he felt really horrified when he saw those people bitten by the colorful centipede.
The tall and strong man rolled on the ground in pain. He didn't think he could endure such pain, so he just wanted to die quickly.
An Rou raised a mocking smile, "If you had ended your life before I came, you wouldn't have to suffer like this. Didn't you wait for me to come, just to let me punish you?"
This one sentence choked the man. He did still hold on to the last bit of hope, hoping that their envoy would be magnanimous enough to let him go.
Even if the envoy was still angry in the end, at least he could be given a quick death, but he never expected it to be such torment.
The colorful centipede didn't want to listen to all their nonsense, and crawled directly towards the man. Its speed was so fast that it was impossible to avoid it.
It quickly crawled onto the man's body, and as soon as it touched his skin, the man's skin began to fester. The colorful centipede became more and more excited, and it directly opened a hole in his body and drilled into his body, and did not show up for a long time.
Instead, there were occasional sounds of people gnawing bones, which frightened the city lord silly.
This messenger is so scary! This colorful centipede is even scarier!
"Mr. Envoy, please spare my life. I really don't know anything. After I learned about this, I immediately sent people to look for him, but they couldn't find any trace at all." The city lord knelt on the ground and cried, hoping that he could survive this incident.
An Rou's ruthless gaze fell on him again. He was a city lord after all, so she would not touch him for the time being. After all, her foundation in Miaojiang was not particularly stable now.
"Shut up about what happened today. And just say that this man is a swindler, not a member of my Royal Guards." An Rou still cared about her own face and didn't waste any more words with this man.
"Yes! I know!" Upon hearing this, the city lord knew that he had saved his life.
The guy over there was already dying, but because of the poison he was bleeding from all his orifices, that was fine, but his face was getting darker and darker, it was so horrible!
After the colorful centipede had eaten and drunk its fill, it obediently returned to the bottle. The moment the bottle was closed, the city lord finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At least, at least his life was saved...
An Rou didn't stay here for long. She knew what An Xin's purpose was in coming here, but she didn't expect her to move so quickly.
She would show no mercy to someone who came to her in person, and would make sure she experienced for herself what the heart-wrenching pain was like.
"An Xin, wait, we will meet soon." An Rou's lips curled up with a satisfied arc, and she didn't seem upset about not catching anyone.
Anyway, Miaojiang is her territory, so it is easy to hunt someone down. This cat-and-mouse game is even more interesting. Pushing people into a desperate situation little by little, letting her experience what it means to live a life worse than death! And her son will die in her hands sooner or later!
