After the two went in, they found that there were many people who had escaped overnight like them.

In the second half of the night, several more people arrived one after another, so they volunteered to greet their companions at the door so that they could notice if anything happened.

Early the next morning.

Women who had registered came in one after another. They faced the rising sun, their eyes filled with anxiety and worry about the future, but their steps were firm.

"Sister Ruo, why...why are you here too?"

"Last night, Auntie said she wanted to kidnap you and marry you off to someone from the next village... Sister Ruo, have you really thought it through? Auntie and the others have already taken the money."

"If you can't get through, they..."

"I've thought it through. Rather than being beaten to death, I'd rather do something for the court and the people."

The battle between the imperial court and the Huns became a hot topic.

The Huns not only wanted the city, food and silver, but also wanted the Central Plains to send 3,000 women in.

They...if they don't go, someone will have to go.

Rather than being sent to marry a stranger, it is better to take a gamble. I don’t plan to win anyway, but maybe I can contribute something to the people.

Yes!

Just then——

Voices came from outside.

"I'm here to look for my daughter. Why won't you let me in?"

"Come on, everyone, come and see!"

"This martial arts school took advantage of my daughter's youth and innocence, tricking her into running away from home in the middle of the night. Now, they're taking advantage of their numbers to bully us two elderly people."

Many women inside looked at each other with fear in their eyes.

Only one of the women recognized the voices as her parents' and turned pale.

She bit her lip, not knowing what to do. She knew her parents' abilities. If she didn't leave, she was afraid that her parents would make a scene and cause chaos in the martial arts school.

She took a step forward hesitantly, and as her body swayed, a slender white hand fell on her shoulder.

Chen Wei patted her shoulder. To save her face, he did not directly reveal whose parents the troublemakers were. Instead, he said to everyone:

"Everyone, don't worry. If you regret it, you can leave the martial arts hall now and choose to go home. After all, I said early on that if you choose to go to the northern border, it is for the Central Plains and the people, not for yourself."

besides,

For the rights of women in the future.

So that they can have a chance to break out of the harem and stand in a superior position.

But all of these must be exchanged for life.

Chen Wei swept his eyes across the room and said, "But if you are willing, no one can stop you. This decision requires great courage, but those who dare to go are heroes."

"Just stay here and let the authorities handle the outside affairs."

Chen Wei had long anticipated his parents' desire for control.

When Xiaoying walked out, she saw a couple in their forties arguing with an apprentice from the martial arts school. The man had a loud and rough voice and was loudly questioning the apprentice.

The woman tried to gain sympathy from people around her by playing the victim.

They are not clear about the strength of the martial arts school, but the residents living near the school know that even though the school is full of women, they would rather provoke men than them.

As a result, there were very few onlookers.

Most of them watched from afar with an expression of enjoying the show, and did not gather around.

Chen Wei did not go over and try to reason with the two men. She stood at the door and watched calmly.
