Qin Susu's actions infuriated the barbarian soldier, who could only stare blankly. This woman dared to address the Chanyu by his name; she was quite audacious.

He wanted to get away, but he couldn't move.

Inside the yurt, the women on the ground were all startled when they saw Qin Susu and Apu.

After the initial shock, their eyes returned to their helpless and pitiful state.

Because their mouths were sealed, they could only shake their heads and make muffled sobs.

The women's faces were all dirty, and Qin Susu couldn't see their features clearly, nor did she bother to identify them.

She pulled the gag out of the woman's mouth, and then she heard the woman start to cry loudly.

"Shh!" Qin Susu told her to be quiet, then looked up and sized up the woman in front of her.

They were tied up so tightly, and these women themselves didn't even have the strength to escape. Could she possibly rescue them?

Even if they can be rescued, will these people be able to escape?

I'm afraid that before they can even escape, they'll be captured again by these despicable barbarian soldiers, and then the women's fate will only be worse.

Because she spent a lot of time with Qiu Yan, Qin Susu learned to think critically, influenced by her surroundings.

But if she didn't save him... that would go against her principles.

It's really a headache.

Unbeknownst to her, a disheveled woman was staring intently at her from not far to the side.

Qin Susu scratched her head, a bitter look on her face.

"Wait here, let me find you some food first. You'll have the strength to escape when you're full."

Apula tugged at Qin Susu's sleeve, pointed outside, and the two turned to leave the yurt.

But at that moment, Qin Susu's ankle was suddenly gripped tightly by a pair of dark hands.

"Miss Qin, Miss Qin, is that you?"

Zhu Juan seemed to have grasped at a straw.

She tried to get up, but the iron chains beneath her feet prevented her from moving.

The chains were too tight, causing her ankles to ache.

Upon seeing Qin Susu, she was filled with suspicion, but even more so with joy.

"Zhu Juan?"

Qin Susu couldn't believe it.

The voice sounds right, but the appearance... doesn't quite match.

She quickly brushed aside the messy hair on Zhu Juan's face and examined her closely.

The outlines are somewhat similar.

She took out a handkerchief and wiped the dirt off Zhu Juan's face, revealing a pair of dull, gray eyes.

The woman in front of me was thin with sunken cheeks, and she looked much uglier than before.

Yes, it's her.

"Zhu Juan, what are you doing here? Yu'er is here too?"

Qin Susu was acting very strangely. Ap, who was beside her, seemed to realize that Qin Susu had met an acquaintance and helped Zhu Juan up.

The other women were all envious when they saw Zhu Juan run into acquaintances in such a place.

"Yes. My young master and I were forcibly kidnapped by these thugs. I don't know where my young master, Xuanming, and Xuanying are now."

When Zhu Juan talked about Gu Xiaoran, the eagerness in her eyes was genuine.

"Did you get it from a thief?" Qin Susu was surprised and stopped thinking about it.

In the current situation, saving lives is the priority.

"Zhu Juan, don't worry, I'll take you out first."

“But, I…” Zhu Juan looked at the iron chains under her feet, which put Qin Susu in a dilemma.

At this moment, she had to act quickly; otherwise, if Huyan Xun arrived, things would become difficult.

Qin Susu pulled out a dagger, intending to cut the iron chains binding Zhu Juan's feet.

A clang rang out as metal objects clashed.

However, the chains did not budge, and instead caused Zhu Juan severe pain in her ankle.
