As if to confirm Lin Suisui’s words, Lu Ze went forward and slapped the Wolf Guard twice.

“Cut the crap. I’m not as good-tempered as my wife!”

The Wolf Guard didn’t say anything else. He closed his eyes and lowered his head in silent resistance.

Lin Suisui wasn’t anxious. She continued to insert the silver needles into his acupoints one by one.

After two rounds of this, the Wolf Guard, who was still stubbornly resisting, finally couldn’t take it anymore and fainted. However, fainting was a luxury for the Wolf Guard at the moment.

Lin Suisui only raised her hand slightly and needled him in the acupuncture point behind his ear. He regained consciousness again and felt the pain in his body again.

“Do you still want to continue?!” Lin Suisui turned around and asked the Wolf Guard gently.

The Wolf Guard panted heavily. After a long time, he said, “I’ll tell you.”

… .

After obtaining the five pages of secret technique records, Lin Suisui was obviously happy.

She didn’t need to interfere in what happened next, but it was obvious that Pei Qian didn’t intend to let her go so easily. He was very curious about Lin Suisui’s silver needle techniques.

“Actually, it’s not as powerful as you think.” Lin Suisui, who was carefully packing up the silver needles, didn’t avoid answering Pei Qian’s question. She only smiled and continued, “It’s just that I used the acupuncture points to change the flow of his meridians, causing his blood to flow in the opposite direction or shift!

As the saying went, if there isn’t any blockage, you won’t feel pain, and if you feel pain, there’s a blockage.

Stimulating the acupuncture points can sometimes heighten a person’s perception and increase their perception of pain. That’s it. It’s really not that complicated.”

Pei Qian raised his eyebrows and looked at Lin Suisui. He continued to ask in front of the Wolf Guard, “About what you just said about the acupuncture technique being used for torture, could it be…?”

“Of course I lied to him. My mentor is just an ordinary doctor. How could he know those torture techniques?!

I only said that to make him more afraid!” Lin Suisui packed her needle kit and turned around to meet Pei Qian’s gaze calmly. “Although I don’t know much about torture, I still know a little about psychological torture.

With fear in his heart, he naturally lost his previous persistence! As long as I could find a breakthrough point, he wouldn’t be a tough nut to crack anymore!”

Pei Qian was stunned for a moment before he couldn’t help but laugh. The Wolf Guard, who was tied to the torture rack and had heard these words clearly, finally lost his last bit of energy. It was as if his spine had been pulled out and he immediately became dispirited.

Seeing that Pei Qian had no intention of asking anything else, Lin Suisui and Lu Ze didn’t delay any longer and left.

As Lin Suisui sat in the ox cart, she eagerly flipped through the pages that recorded the northern barbarian secret technique. In the end, she sighed and concluded, “Actually, the trick to this secret technique is the concoction of that potion.”

It was difficult to find a potion that could prevent the skin from dying and cracking.

If she could obtain the formula for that potion, when she encountered patients with severe disfigurement, she could use the skin on their backs to repair their injuries!

Now, the other steps were clear, but the configuration of the potion was under the shaman’s control!

“Don’t be anxious. This bit of gain is already an improvement. As for the rest, there’s still time. It can be resolved!” When Lu Ze heard Lin Suisui’s sigh, he stopped packing and looked back at her as he comforted her in a low voice.

Lin Suisui didn’t take this matter to heart in the first place, so hearing Lu Ze’s words, she naturally nodded in agreement.

The two of them chatted for a while longer before Mrs. Luo called them for dinner.

It was a rare day when the snow stopped, so Pei Qian instructed everyone to hurry up and get back on the road.

Fortunately, they had made arrangements early on. Although the journey was a little difficult, there was no shortage of food like before.

Lin Suisui was afraid of the cold.

Whether it was the past or now, she had always been very afraid of the cold. She felt that the winter was unbearable.

Fortunately, the road was smooth, so she could just stay in the carriage and didn’t have to travel on foot along the way. Otherwise, she really didn’t think she could bear it.

“It’s windy outside. Go in.” Lu Ze, who was sitting on the shaft and driving the ox cart forward, felt movement beside him. He turned around and saw Lin Suisui, who had wrapped herself in a cotton cloak, sticking her head out from behind the thick curtain. He quickly reached out and pushed her back gently. The north wind was blowing ice particles towards people’s faces. He had gotten used to it already when leading troops outside, but the little girl couldn’t withstand this!

“It looks like the snow will get heavier at night.” Lin Suisui was pushed back into the carriage. She didn’t object because it was too cold outside.

“We won’t be able to wait until nighttime. I’m afraid it’ll start snowing very soon.” Through the curtain, Lu Ze turned his head and spoke to Lin Suisui, who was sitting in the carriage. “Hold the hand stove to stay warm. I’ll make a new one for you when we reach the base later.”

“We didn’t see any homes along the way?!” Lin Suisui tightened the cloak around her. Little White happened to come over, so she threw away the copper hand stove that was no longer warm and reached out to hug Little White.

Little White was much warmer than the copper hand stove.

“This area was actually the border more than 40 years ago.” Lu Ze was obviously familiar with this area. When he heard Lin Suisui ask, he answered her, “There had been endless war. Other than border bandits, those who could leave migrated to the mainland!

Later on, after the previous emperor ascended the throne and took over the government, he reorganized his military forces and personally led three expeditions to seize this land back from the northern barbarians!

However, after all, once bitten by a snake, one would be afraid of ropes for ten years. Although the land had been recaptured, the citizens who had previously lived in this area had either lost their lives or moved away. Without people to develop it, most of the land here was now barren.

“Although the Northern Battlefront Army has many families accompanying them, compared to this vast land, their manpower is still insufficient. That’s why they arranged for refugees to go to the north to reclaim the land.”
