Traveling to ancient times, with space

Chapter 96 The female devil

Su Yue didn't use the bandits lying on the ground to lead the way. Instead, she decisively dismounted, followed closely by three or four imperial guards. She then used her mental power to scan the entire bandit stronghold.

It must be said that these bandits still had a sliver of conscience, even though the number of women and children in the village was extremely small.

However, after a thorough search, no evidence was found of the cruel practice of eating "white meat" (i.e., human flesh).

Even in the bandits' granaries where they hid grain, there was very little left; it was all in those days.

After all, in these difficult times, how many of those who could escape famine were from wealthy families?

Almost everyone was destitute, and even if they had a little bit of food stored up, they wouldn't have been forced to leave their homes and flee famine!

Upon entering the warehouse, one finds only about forty or fifty bags of grain and two or three boxes of silver; the rest are a jumble of miscellaneous items.

Looking at the scene before her, Su Yue couldn't help but sigh in her heart. These bandits had really fallen to such a state, which was truly pathetic.

Thinking back to when those bandits robbed me, their arrogant and domineering attitude was truly impressive.

Now, looking at the grain stored in the warehouse, it seemed like a complete waste, a stark contrast to their previous actions.

Looking at the grain stored in this warehouse, it's a complete waste.

Su Yue then ordered the Imperial Guards to move all the grain and silver onto carts in the bandit stronghold, and then slowly pull them down the mountain with horses.

A group of honest bandits followed behind, none of whom dared to take the opportunity to escape; they were all terrified by Su Yue's methods.

The women and children in the village followed behind, trembling.

By the time they reached the meeting point, it was already quite late.

The Imperial Guards who remained were already prepared, and they could only set off as soon as Su Yue returned.

The Imperial Guards all rode horses, and the bandits initially rode more than a dozen horses as well. Su Yue had the women and children of the bandit stronghold sit on carts.

Despite the pain all over their bodies, the bandits limped along behind the cart, and the imperial guards untied the ropes binding them.

Su Yue had already said before boarding the train that if the number of passengers didn't match up during the next rest period, they would come back with ten times the number of passengers.

If one person escapes, kill ten people; if two escape, kill twenty.

Some bandits who had been considering it also gave up their plans.

These bandits weren't originally bandits; they were just ordinary people from nearby villages.

They were all starving and thirsty, and there was a famine, so they had no choice but to form a bandit group and go up the mountain to become bandits, at least they wouldn't starve to death.

They only robbed people who looked wealthy. They wouldn't even look at those who clearly had nothing and whom they couldn't squeeze even a drop of oil out of.

I never expected that I would have such good luck today, running into a fat sheep, but instead I got caught. I really regret it!

Kyoto was in chaos. The old emperor had died, and a new emperor had ascended the throne, but they didn't care about any of that.

Since they were all starving anyway, it didn't matter to them who was emperor.

As soon as Su Yue sat down in the carriage, Qiao Xiang brought out a basin of hot water to help her wash her hands.

An oil lamp was lit in the carriage, casting a faint glow.

Several plates of snacks were laid out on the small table, while Qiaoyun was grilling sizzling slices of meat on a baking tray to the side.

Then Qiaoxia dipped the grilled meat slices in the seasoning Su Yue had taken out and put them into Su Yue's mouth.

The aroma of roasted meat wafted out of the carriage windows, and the bandits behind them, smelling it, were so tempted that their stomachs rumbled incessantly.

Although they were bandits, they hadn't eaten meat in a long time.

During the worst of times, when people in the village were starving to death and people on other hills were eating meat, only their village survived by digging up tree bark and grass roots on the mountain.

They finally managed to survive by robbing a few wealthy households.

Now, the smell of meat makes me so hungry that I wish I could bite my tongue off and swallow it to satisfy my craving.

Skinny Monkey had only lost a few teeth, but his legs were still fine. He carefully approached the bandit leader, Da Biao.

Speaking through his lisp, he said, "Brother, where do you think they'll take us? Do you think the smell coming from that carriage will be the aroma of roasted pork? It'll smell so good it'll make your tongue tingle. Brother, maybe they're keeping us as reserve food instead of killing us?"

The bandit leader, Da Biao, was probably the most seriously injured among the bandits. He needed help to walk and was still in a daze when Skinny Monkey spoke up.

I was so startled that I almost collapsed to the ground, my legs giving way.

Despite the pain in his arm, he slapped the skinny monkey on the head. "Shut up, or someone will hear you. They'll be the first to drag you away, kill you, and roast you."

He was terrified of being beaten; that female demon in the train carriage was someone he couldn't afford to mess with!

He could take them all down by himself; he wouldn't even dare to dream of such a thing.

Skinny Monkey only realized what was happening after being hit. That female demon could hit people from a distance. If she heard him, his life would be in danger.

"Yes, yes, the boss is right."

Little did Su Yue know that she had become a cannibalistic female demon among that group of bandits.

The journey took several hours, and it wasn't until midnight that the carriage and the people stopped to rest.

The imperial guards on horseback fared better, but the bandits fared much worse; they were in pain, exhausted, hungry, and cold all over.

Upon hearing that they could rest, they disregarded the cold ground and sat down, panting heavily.

Su Yue told the three maids to return to their own carriages to rest, and then she went into her spatial dimension to cultivate.

This has been the case for the past few days. She has found that she only sleeps for two or three hours a day. As long as she cultivates, she is not very tired. On the contrary, she feels comfortable all over.

Today, she suddenly remembered that there was a wordless book in her mind, so she wanted to try it out and see if it would change anything in her mind.

He began searching within his sea of ​​consciousness using his mental power, but finally found it in the deepest part of his sea of ​​consciousness.

Trying to touch it with mental power, I found that this time the wordless book didn't run away and was easily controlled.

Using mental power to open it, I found that there was still no word inside.

Seeing that there was still no word, Su Yue directly used her mental power to throw the book into the deepest part of her sea of ​​consciousness, and withdrew her mental power without hesitation.

What a useless book, it's still clinging to itself and won't leave.

Su Yue stretched, picked a basket of strawberries from the ground in her spatial dimension, washed them clean with her mental energy, and then left the space. She lay down in the carriage, eating and reading at the same time.

Now her mental power has been honed to a high level, and it can now extend nearly a hundred meters outside.

He could know everything that happened outside the carriage simply by using his mental power to sense it.

But she wasn't that bored; she observed a group of bandits, figuring they wouldn't dare to run away.
