Lady Su's Revenge

The young man shouted in a cold voice and fiercely looked at the boss of the broker house and the carriage behind the boss. Then he said, “What’s your name?”

The boss of the broker house saw the face of the adjutant and his face looked bitter instantly. How could he meet such a person, who was very difficult to deal with? Today he must have gone out without seeing the almanac. It was very unlucky!

With these in mind, he jumped out of the carriage quickly and walked to the young man. Then he said flatteringly, “Third Childe, I...”

“Call me Adjutant Yan!” The young man looked unhappy and said coldly.

The boss of the broker house was in a daze and instantly said, “Adjutant Yan, I take charge of a broker house. There are honored guests of the broker house in the carriage. They were not satisfied with the choices from the broker house. So, I decided to let them come to the prisoner camp for selection. You see...”

The young man frowned when hearing his words. The prisoner camp was linked to the broker house. He knew that it was a hidden rule in the military camp and that it was not easy to stop. But...

“Let them all get off. After I have your identity checked, you can go in.”

The young man pointed at the carriage, and the boss’s expression changed slightly. He sweated and did not move for a long time.

When the young man noticed something strange, he instantly snorted and walked forward to the carriage. He pointed at the curtain with a long spear in his hand and murmured, “All the people in the carriage get off!”

The boss of the broker house was almost crying at the back and he was afraid that the three people of the carriage were unhappy. They would kill the young man directly. At that time, even he could be killed and it was impossible for him to manage the broker house.

The next moment, the curtain was opened slowly. Fang Yuan and Qu Qingning walked down from the carriage and stood beside it.

When the young man saw them, he instantly looked worried. Their breath was faintly discernible and he couldn’t see it. That was to say, their cultivation was at least the same as his. They were in the acquired fourth hurdle or even higher!

The young man was so shocked that he could not help grasping the long spear in his hand.

In the army, they were able to hold the post of the adjutant at such age and cultivation. But they were actually servants. Who was the person in the carriage?

At this point, Su Li stepped down from the carriage. The young man stared at Su Li closely. But no matter how he observed it, he could not perceive Su Li’s breath. It seemed that the girl, who covered her face, was just an ordinary person.

Was it possible that she was just an ordinary person?

The young man looked very alert and his tone became unconsciously kind. He asked, “What’s the origin of the miss?”

Seeing the young man’s pale face with fear, Qu Qingning laughed inwardly. The man surely did not realize that Su Li was just an ordinary person. That’s because the cultivation of Fang Yuan and Qu Qingning was hard to be recognized.

Thanks to the personal guidance of the Young Master, Ling Li, for a month, plus their hard practice for several months, Fang Yuan and he had made great progress in their cultivation. He had now reached the acquired seventh hurdle and Fang Yuan had reached the acquired eighth hurdle.

Su Li did not know Qu Qingning’s idea and said slowly, “You can call me ‘Ms Li’. I heard that the Third Childe of the Satrap Yan holds a post in the army. Are you the third son of the Yan Family, Yan Ziye?”

With his identity revealed, Yan Ziye was not surprised. Even the boss of the broker house knew it. Since the girl had an unusual origin, it was not surprising that she was well-informed.

But the girl changed her voice to hide her true features. Obviously, she didn’t want to reveal her identity. What he had asked before were in vain.

“Ms Li” was clearly a pseudonym.

When he thought of it, he looked shocked and said aloud, “Miss, in my humble opinion, there are rules in the army. If you can’t take off the veil, I can’t let you enter the military camp! Please go back.”

Then Fang Yuan and Qu Qingning both looked slightly cold. Su Li had brighter eyes and said with a smile,

“Childe Ziye is just worried that I will do something bad for the military camp. If you don’t mind, you can go with us. If I really do something wrong, I believe that you will easily prevent me considering your position in the army.”

Then Su Li did not look at Yan Ziye. She stared at the boss of the broker house. Her voice was soft but firm, “The boss of the broker house, lead the way.”

The boss of the broker house instantly felt pressured and subconsciously went to the prisoner camp.

Yan Ziye opened his mouth when he saw the scene, but he could not say anything to stop. He just had to keep up with them. If the mysterious “Ms Li” really wanted to do something dangerous, could he really stop it...?

A crowd of them crossed the military camp, and the sergeants who came and went instantly let them in seeing Yan Ziye in the crowd. Seeing such a situation, Yan Ziye understood that he had been used by Su Li unwittingly, and he could not help choking.

The boss of the broker house saved some money. While he felt happy, he prayed that Su Li and others came here with only one purpose, to buy servants.

“Ms Li, the prisoner camp is here.”

Su Li smelled the familiar smell of the prisoner camp. She looked grim from her lips and stepped into it. She knew the place better than the boss of the broker house.

The air was mixed with stench of rot. Occasionally, one or two person(s) who looked sallow climbed out of the camp tent without clothes. They were blue with cold. The scene made people want to vomit. Fang Yuan and Qu Qingning looked cold. They couldn’t believe how sober they would have been if they hadn’t escaped from such a hell on earth.

Yan Ziye had already vomited and his face was as pale as a piece of paper. He couldn’t help asking, “Why does the prisoner camp become this? Is there no one in the army managing it?”

The boss of the broker house seemed to have been used to the smell here and looked calm. He explained to Yan Ziye kindly, “Adjutant Yan, there are things which you don’t know. All prisoners of war in the prisoner camp are hopeless. Those persons who don’t wear clothes are the weak among them. They are so weak that they naturally become punching bags of other prisoners of war. As long as no one dies, the military camp will not care about it.”

Yan Ziye fell into silence. Although he was an adjutant in the army, he did not know much about the prisoner camp than the boss of the broker house. What he had seen today was such a shock to him, and he didn’t say anything along his way to the prisoner camp following Su Li.

A group of four passed through a large area of purple camp tents, and the smell of rot became stronger. Qu Qingning couldn’t help asking, “Boss, where are we? Why does it smell so bad?”

“This...” The boss of the broker house carefully looked at Su Li in front of him and whispered, “It is the brothel of the military camp. The prisoner camp and the brothel of the military camp are in the same place. The only difference is that the brothel of the military camp is cleaner.”

The boss of the broker house emphasized the word “clean”, but no one could know whether it was cleaner or dirtier.

Qu Qingning’s face became slightly red. Fortunately, it was not found with the help of disguise pills. The boss of the broker house couldn’t help sighing. The two guards of Ms Li were really cold-blooded, and their expressions did not change when they heard that.

The boss of the broker house thought that his voice was very low, but everyone who was present actually heard it clearly. Yan Ziye looked around and couldn’t help but snort and say, “It is hopeless to save someone who is happy in the degeneration!”

Then Su Li slowed down her pace and she stopped.

“Ms Li, what’s wrong?”

The boss of the broker house hurried up to ask. Su Li looked indifferent and pointed to the small camp tent behind two purple camp tents on the right side of the road. Then she said to Adjutant Yan, “Since you have a holier-than-thou manner, you might as well go there and have a look.”

Yan Ziye disdained Su Li hearing her words. He didn’t think he was wrong and said, “A group of women abandoning themselves to vice turn into prostitutes. Does ‘Ms Li’ have any other ideas?”

Su Li slightly shook her head and did not answer.

Yan Ziye snorted and went directly to the small camp tent to which Su Li pointed, and opened it up!

In the next moment, he seemed to be hit by lightning. He was so dumbstruck that he could no longer move.

Behind the curtain, he saw a pair of simple and frightened eyes. In the dim light, he could still see rows of girls who squatted at an age of twelve or thirteen. They were all badly beaten and were in rags. Some of them were even naked.

“Does Childe Yan still think that these children abandon themselves to vice and understand human relations and desires?”

At some point, Su Li’s cold voice came from behind. Yan Ziye slowly raised his head and glimpsed her sarcastic eyes through the bamboo hat veil. He instantly felt ashamed.

“These children are all the womenfolk of the prisoner who was an official before. They didn’t do anything wrong but were implicated. They may not be able to leave the place for the rest of their lives. Do they abandon themselves to vice? If I am correct, Childe Yan has been eighteen years old this year. You are really naive and lovely...”

Su Li said it lightly and left. She didn’t look at the girls behind the curtain. In fact, she did not consider herself as a savior, but a destroyer.

Save people?

How many could she save?

Even she walked on the edge of the knife. How could she be qualified to save people?

“Ms Li, it seems that Childe Yan does not keep up. We...”

The boss of the broker house followed Su Li, and he frequently looked back. It was getting farther and farther away from the brothel of the military camp.

“Forget it. Boss of the broker house, don’t forget the purpose of the trip.”

Su Li said coldly to prevent the boss of the broker house from continuing to ask questions.

Shortly after leaving the brothel of the military camp, Su Li and others finally came to the center of the prisoner camp. All the prisoners of war here were new ones.

Under the arrangement of the boss of the broker house, the officers quickly gathered the prisoners of war of the entire prisoner camp. A large group of people stood in the open space in the middle of the prisoner camp and most of them wore exotic costumes.

Looking hostile, curious, or scared, they constantly stared at Su Li and other three persons in nice garments In the past months since they came to the prisoner camp, they had learned to be clever under the oppression of the military camp. At least they pretended to behave in this way.

After the arrangement, the boss of the broker house came back to Su Li and whispered, “The riots in the Nanjiang Country are frequent, so most of the prisoners of war are from the country. It is said that the Nanjiang Country is good at using Poisonous Insect. Ms Li should be careful.”

Su Li nodded slightly. She let Fang Yuan and Qu Qingning, who had wished to act earlier, go in and select people. When they entered the place, their breathing became slightly rapid. It seemed that there were their old friends from the Nanjiang Country.

Nevertheless, Su Li thought about it carefully and thought that it was a coincidence. Fang Yuan and Qu Qingning fled to the Dasu Town one after another and it happened half a year ago. During this period of time, the prisoners of war on the battlefield were carefully selected. They arrived at the prisoner camp almost half a year ago. So, Fang Yuan and Qu Qingning’s escape to the Dasu Town coincided with these prisoners’ arrival at the prison camp.

Qu Qingning almost wanted to step next to a ragged girl in the crowd. But when he saw the military camp around him, he just took a breath and forced himself to suppress his strong feelings. He began to choose from the first prisoner of war.

He should calm himself down because he couldn’t let others know that he wanted to choose his old friends.

Fang Yuan looked calmer. He quickly started to choose from Qu Qingning’s the other side.

Soon, among more than two hundred prisoners of war, only more than fifty were left. The prisoners of war who weren’t chosen left in disappointment. It was hard for them to meet a master who looked powerful, but they had failed the first round of selection.

At this time, Yan Ziye had come out of the brothel of the military camp. He caught up and was followed by a group of girls.

Su Li looked at Yan Ziye and thought he was amusing. Then she immediately gave a sign to Fang Yuan and Qu Qingning to let them continue the selection. The fool who could only practice martial arts and lacked intelligence would never be her choice.

Fang Yuan took a simple handbook and chose more than 20 literate persons. Then more than 30 illiterate ones could only leave in dismay.

Yin Xuetong’s face was as pale as snow. A gust of cold wind blew. A cold shiver woke her up. She raised her head and was shocked to see that only a dozen people were left around her.

She... How could she be selected finally?
