Chapter 1509: Pitiful Women (3)
Qi Jingyi, leading his troops, charged straight out of Governor’s Office Pass, even pursuing into the desert for four or five miles. Yet, they only found some items dropped by the fleeing Yuan soldiers, no trace of people.
Had he not been worried about getting lost, he would have pushed the chase all the way to the Royal Court of Yuan Country. But no matter, someday he was determined to raze the Royal Court of Yuan to the ground.
Pressed for time, the escaping Yuan soldiers couldn’t afford to take with them the food and women they held in the city and their camps.
There were two tents used to imprison the women. However, when everyone opened those tents, they couldn’t help but have their eyes turn red. Inside, more than a dozen women lay naked, their bodies bruised or covered in blood, most of them in a state of disarray...
Whenever the Yuan soldiers felt lustful, they would come over and pounce on any girl they saw at first sight. Initially, the girls might have resisted, but resistance only led to beatings and even crueller ravaging. Thus, in the end, the women became numb; motionless, letting whoever wanted to take them, as if their bodies weren’t theirs anymore.
So when the soldiers of Qi Jingyi’s army opened the tents, not one of the women inside reacted, not even the twitch of an eyeball.
There were no women in the ranks of Qi Jingyi’s army, and those girls from the Ji Residence who could still move hadn’t yet arrived. Ruxin could only have Du Man and Du Juan help these women to clean up briefly and then dress them.
Li Mingyin’s maid also joined in the effort.
Only when the women realized that their rescuers were their own kin did they begin to shed tears.
"Miss, those Yuan brutes are too despicable." Du Man came out, her eyes swollen red, "I must have them torn to pieces."
