I Woke the Sick and Disabled Prince on Our Wedding Night

378 Reason

“A place that provides support?” Doctor Luo was a little puzzled and asked, “They didn’t let you guys stay there?”

“No, everything in that tribe belongs to the shaman. All the output here is the shaman’s wealth and every member of the tribe belongs to the shaman.”

Seeing that Doctor Luo really didn’t understand, Lin Suisui turned to look at him and explained in a low voice, “In short, if they had known that this tribe was a shaman’s place of support, they wouldn’t have gone in to stay.”

“Yes, because there are usually many rules in a shaman’s place. Moreover, if we accidentally offend the shaman, we won’t be able to bear the consequences.”

Old Master Zhou nodded in agreement with Lin Sui’s explanation. “But at first, we really didn’t know. Moreover, the snowstorm was too heavy at that time, and we lost our way, so when we saw the tent, we didn’t think too much about it and rushed over.

As soon as those two people entered to greet the shaman who called himself the “chief”, they were enticed by the furnishings in his tent and evil intentions arose.”

“Could it be that they want to steal things under the shaman’s nose?” Yuan Niang’s eyes widened. If that was the case, how bold were those two?!

“It would be fine if it was just stealing.” Old Master Zhou sighed. Thinking of those two people’s actions, he couldn’t help but shake his head. “They actually wanted to drug those people in the tribe and take all the wealth in the tribe for themselves.”

“They weren’t the only ones who had such thoughts, right?”

Lin Suisui could actually figure out what had happened. “Perhaps only these two people had evil thoughts in the beginning, but in the end, they were not the only ones who participated in it.”

Her speculation made Old Master Zhou and Old Master Du’s expressions change. After a while, Old Master Du reached out to cover his face dejectedly while revealing a hint of shame. “Yes, at first, none of us thought too much about it, but at night, those two people told us that many of the furnishings in the shaman’s tent were valuable treasures. If we could get those gold and silver items and bring them back to the empire, we would definitely be able to make a large profit.

Perhaps that money will be enough for us to spend the rest of our lives. That way, we can stay at home forever and won’t have to run around on tenterhooks like now.

At first, we thought that these two people wanted us to gather some money or goods to exchange for gold and silver weapons, but those two people laughed at us for being too naive.

It has to be known that any one of those things is priceless. With the goods in our hands, we might not be able to exchange for any of them.

Therefore, if they wanted to become rich, they had to be ruthless!

It was also at that moment that they suggested poisoning those people in the tribe. As long as those people died, wouldn’t all the wealth in the tribe belong to us?

To be honest, we didn’t agree to this at first.

After all, we don’t have any enmity with the northern barbarians in this tribe. Moreover, after we came in, these northern barbarians were very friendly to us. It’s really too much to take their lives just for those goods.

However, those two people were really good at beguiling people.

They seemed to have noticed our hesitation and said that the northern barbarians had always been enemies with our empire. After the northern barbarians entered the pass, they burned, killed, and plundered our people many times!

They said that we were just returning the favor!

They said that many of our border patrols died under the hands of the northern barbarians. Many were also kidnapped by the northern barbarians and became slaves for those northern barbarian nobles?

They said that what we’re doing now is nothing. We’re just avenging our comrades who died at their hands!”

“Were you guys involved too?” Doctor Luo’s expression darkened when he heard this and he sized up the two men in front of him with an unfriendly expression. “Don’t say that you guys were taking revenge for the empire’s compatriots. The empire can’t afford such humiliation!

You guys are bandits. What’s the difference between you guys and those northern barbarian bandits?!

He’s also scum!”

“They probably didn’t participate.” Before the two merchants could explain, Lin Suisui said, “If the two people in front of us were involved, there would probably be eight patients lying there now.”

“We were too timid, and we really felt that since we had no grudges against them, it wasn’t nice to poison them! Seeing that we didn’t agree, those two people and the others in the caravan were very dissatisfied. They spent the entire night trying to persuade us, but we rejected them.

Later on, the captain and the two culprits were afraid that the two of us would go out and leak the information, so they tied our hands and feet, gagged us, and threw us in the corner of the tent.

Later on, they began to discuss what to do next, such as how to poison them and how to trick the northern barbarians in the tribe into drinking the medicine.

However, they had forgotten the old saying that the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. No matter how well they planned things out, they were just the oriole’s target.

“Those people spent the entire night making the arrangements, but they actually didn’t have time to implement any of them. The moment they walked out of the tent, they were caught by the northern barbarians who had been waiting outside.” Old Master Du shook his head and smiled bitterly. When he recalled what had happened previously, he couldn’t help but feel a lingering sense of fear.

If he had not resisted the temptation and been blinded by the benefits those two men had mentioned and gotten involved in this matter, he might have been dead by now.

“When our caravan completed the transaction and returned, including the two people who joined the caravan at the last minute, there were 18 people. In the end, only eight of us returned.

“Those who had designs were all killed by the people in that tribe…”

Even though he had already escaped, Old Master Du still couldn’t forget the tragic state of his companions before they died. “Those northern barbarians didn’t treat the people in our caravan as humans at all. They treated them like livestock…”
