The tragic scenes before her eyes instantly brought tears to Yun Zhourong's eyes, and she felt even more disgusted with the perpetrator.
Those people must pay the price they deserve!
"Mmm..."
Upon seeing so many strangers, the slaves were terrified and huddled together, weeping in fear.
Yun Zhourong quickly explained to them, "Do you know Yu Niang?"
Yu Niang is the name of the mute girl they rescued.
"Mmm..."
Upon hearing this, all the slaves, who had been in a very unstable emotional state, paused and fell silent.
However, their eyes were fixed on the female lead, which showed that they did indeed know Yu Niang and wanted to know about her situation.
"It seems you all know that Yu Niang did indeed escape and even encountered me, and we've come to rescue you."
Yun Zhourong tried to soften her voice as much as possible, "I will go and bring Yu Niang over soon. Don't worry, the prefect already knows about this matter, and he will definitely be able to rescue you this time!"
"Mmm..."
"Waaaaah... Ah..."
"..."
Upon hearing Yun Zhourong's words, all the slaves became agitated and burst into loud wailing.
It was as if she wanted to vent all her grievances.
Seeing the slaves crying their hearts out, Yun Zhourong felt a pang of sorrow; these people were truly pitiful.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Yun Zhourong pointed to the door and said, "Those thugs who used to bully you have all been arrested and are outside. If you want revenge, come with me."
"Mmm..."
Upon hearing her words, all the slaves immediately stood up, their faces filled with deep hatred.
"Let's go."
Yun Zhourong immediately understood their meaning and brought the person in front of the thugs.
Enemies meeting are bound to be furious. Seeing the thugs, anger surged to their heads, and the slaves' breathing became heavy.
"What...what do you want to do!"
"Don't come any closer..."
"Ah... Help... Stop hitting me... Help..."
"..."
The slaves' fierce eyes terrified all the thugs, who kept begging for mercy, but no one showed them any compassion.
By the time the slaves calmed down, the thugs were already covered in wounds and lying on the ground, unable to move.
They really do look pitiful.
However, no one felt any compassion.
In the past, when they enslaved these slaves, they never showed any mercy.
After venting their emotions, the slaves were indeed much calmer, and then they all knelt down and kowtowed to Yun Zhourong.
Each muffled sob was a heartfelt expression of gratitude.
"Get up quickly, I appreciate your thanks."
Yun Zhourong quickly stepped forward to help the person up, and then said, "The prefect will not arrive for another two days. There will be a tough battle in the next two days. Don't be afraid, everyone. We will definitely protect you. You must trust us."
“Mmm…” The slaves all nodded firmly.
"Alright, then you should all get some rest tonight. We'll need your help tomorrow's struggle." After saying that, Yun Zhourong closed the door and left.
Once outside, you could still hear soft sobbing.
The torment they suffered is not so easy to forget, but at least tonight will be the only peaceful night's sleep they've had in all these years.
Just as I stepped outside, I saw Ji Minxiu returning with a group of people.
In the firelight, the man appeared tall and strong, with an extraordinary and unparalleled air of nobility.
Yun Zhourong immediately ran forward, grabbed his hand, and said, "Minxiu, you're back. Have you finished your work?"
The bodies of the thugs that had been stored in the space had to be disposed of, so Ji Minxiu led his men to dig a pit nearby and buried them all.
Of course, he did this while avoiding the soldiers, otherwise he would have scared them to death.
Ji Minxiu nodded gently, "Yes, it's all taken care of. How's it going on your end?"
"They've calmed down. After the slaves beat up the thugs, they were much quieter. Your idea was great; it's much better than just killing them."
Yun Zhourong pointed to the thugs on the ground, their faces bruised and swollen.
Upon hearing this, the thugs who had just woken up couldn't contain their anger and fainted again.
If they could, they would rather be killed than suffer such torment.
At first, when they saw these people letting them go, they thought they were good people.
It turns out that taking it out on them was the truth; I was ultimately wrong!
Ji Minxiu didn't care about what these thugs thought; he just ordered his men to drag them into an empty room so they wouldn't freeze to death.
After finishing, he addressed all the soldiers, saying, "Tomorrow there will be tough battles. You must all put on these armors and make sure to protect your lives."
Although there are risks involved in carrying out missions, soldiers who are paid to do things must be prepared to lose their lives at any time.
But Ji Minxiu did not want to see too many casualties.
Thank you.
Looking at the thin bulletproof vests in their hands, the soldiers didn't think much of it, but they still put them on, after all, it was Ji Minxiu's thoughtful gesture.
Ji Minxiu observed the soldiers' reactions. To prevent them from disobeying him, he removed his bulletproof vest halfway through the encounter, pulled out a knife, and stabbed the nearest tall, thin soldier.
Caught off guard, the tall, thin soldier had no chance to dodge and was stabbed in the heart.
"Bang..."
The tall, thin soldier lost his balance and fell to the ground.
"ah!"
Upon seeing this, all the soldiers were shocked and cried out, completely unaware of the purpose behind Ji Minxiu's actions.
"What are you doing? Why are you hurting your own people!"
After they realized what had happened, they were all furious. After all, they were all soldiers, and the fate of this soldier in front of them made them feel a sense of shared sorrow.
"Take another look," Ji Minxiu said calmly, pointing to the soldiers on the ground.
Only then did the soldiers look down at the ground.
The soldier on the ground still looked terrified, and his clothes were torn, but he wasn't bleeding.
"What happened? You're not injured?"
Upon seeing this, one of the short, thin soldiers immediately ran up and, without thinking, pulled open the tall, thin soldier's coat.
Sure enough, there wasn't a trace of blood to be seen.
Then he saw the bulletproof vest worn underneath, and there wasn't a single mark on it.
In an instant, he understood something and looked at Ji Minxiu excitedly, "Young Master, is this... is this armor truly impervious to swords and spears?"
"Of course, if you don't believe me, you can test it on each other right now," Ji Minxiu said calmly.
"I'll do it, try stabbing me!" At this moment, a tall soldier patted his muscular chest and said.
"Okay, then you're ready."
The short, thin soldier gripped his long sword and slashed at the tall soldier.
