The Empress’ Livestream

Those women were stumped by the quick, decisive replies from the female troops, but they determined in their hearts to escape.

“Why is it impossible?”

This person before them is also a lady, so why can’t they be brought along?

The female soldier said, “Going with an army to war is not child’s play. You all must choose your path, find a place to hide and await news from Chengan district.

Many of the ladies were at a loss without a solution, they didn’t know where to go next. There were also those ladies with a brutish personality, they treated the female troops coldly and despised their frightening, apathetic attitude. They wished to grab onto the last opportunity and under pressure they spoke without restraint.

“Why aren’t you saving us, are you afraid we will snatch your men away? Is that why you speak so?”

If in normal times and they met such a woman, they might just run up and tear the person’s mouth. Although it is said that they are simplistic, it doesn’t mean they are not foolish or barbaric, these violent ways are often targeted at the weaklings.

The women troops’ ages ranged between thirteen and fifteen-years-old. If these ages existed in the present generation, then they would already be suitable for marriage, but most of them preferred to delay their wedding. Having no immunity against these obscene words, how can they be compared to the true shrewish and violent women.

As if a tragic memory was triggered, the lady trooper’s face changed from red to pale green.

Initially, the women troops were mistaken for being a prostitute camp, their families dragged them over, and looking into their eyes felt like one was seeing a diseased person. When they heartlessly pushed her into the “fiery furnace”, they couldn’t wait to be apart from her, as if being a “prostitute in the camp” is because she is unvirtuous.

Now the women troops have established a name for themselves, and moreover in this surprise attack, they showcased their military might. They are in no way inferior to the soldiers from the male camp and none dared to look down on them. Yet before they could rejoice over this, they experienced unjust mockery to their faces, who can tolerate this?

They held their long spears, from the red tassels on the spearhead dripped drops of blood that were yet to clot. With their cold-blooded eyes they stared at the one who spoke.

With a sneer, they turned and walked away.

She has already given the message. Whether these ladies lose their lives because they refuse to heed the warning, they can’t be bothered.

After she finished her speech, increasingly she felt that her words are justified and she’s in the mood to argue it out. The female troop threw her an eye of disdain then walked off…walked away…From start to end, she didn’t even give even the slightest glance.

Before the female troop had walked far off, from behind them came sound of a woman sitting down on her buttocks down was heard. She stretched both her legs out then hit her thighs with her hands, followed by a wailing cry and tears streaming down her cheeks. She groaned and cursed with her mouth, ranting angrily about the vices committed by the Tsing Yi army. She continued to lament about her tragic life and how the heavens were unfair…

“The message has been conveyed?”

The women’s camp left a group of people behind to retreat last. Jiang Nongqin was one of those who remained behind.

The female troop said, “They have been brought over but whether they listen or not is beyond us.”

Jiang Nongqin’s face was chillingly cold, and in a calm tone she commented, “Everyone has their own fate, if they are destined to die here then let it be. In times like this, the commodity with the least value is people’s lives. Those who want to save themselves can be saved, those who expect others to save them are hopeless.”

During wars, it is expected that one is always risking their life. The soldiers cannot even take care of themselves; how will they find time to deal with these?

Didn’t they see how those Tsing Yi soldiers transporting the provisions were killed, and none survived? Except for the women troops who dealt a heavy blow, those other women served as a backup to kill those Tsing Yi soldiers who had no way to counterattack. Yet there was still another important reason.

Prisoners are not always in demand. Once one becomes a prisoner of war, their lives can be lost anytime.

Sometimes because the troops want to increase the speed of their journey, the prisoners who serve as burdens and slow them down will be killed if their conqueror is magnanimous. If they are cruel, the prisoners will be buried alive immediately. In fact, if there’s not enough rations to support everyone, the prisoners will be killed and made into preserved meat to sustain their energy.

Having come from a rich background, the lord hasn’t reached the extent of manufacturing human meat. Yet if these prisoners are impeding their progress, Jiang Nongqin will not hesitate to be harsh.

The prisoners can temporarily serve as free labour, but what about these women?

Being a burden is all they are good at doing.

In any case, they have already been very compassionate. Isf the other party still refuses to cooperate, then all that’s left is for them to remain at their original spot and to wait for death.

Jiang Nongqin refocused her vision, then she said calmly, “Let’s go and catch up with the troops in front.”

“I will obey!”

After they left, those ladies looked at each other with lost expressions, some bright ones already thought of finding a place to hide and find shelter, others who were lost in the world of their minds, they cried their lungs out, they bantered and kicked up a scene, and with their mouths they cursed and spoke vulgarities. Sometimes they would even bring in those women troops, but nonetheless, they never considered the female troops to be legitimate soldiers but rather they deemed them to be prostitutes seducing men with their beauty.

Naturally, there are those who have been tortured till only their bones are left. They have no interest to find out what’s happening outside.

One of them mocked coldly. “This woman deserves heaven’s judgement…” She had a strange aura and said sarcastically, “You don’t look good, why should I look at you? Even if you were cooked for meat, it would be distasteful. Previously you were already despised for being dirty. When those beasts brought you over, didn’t you go around pleasing them, it didn’t occur to me that you hated them so much.”

The lady speaking has the right to hate this woman who is full of caustic remarks.

Many of the ladies came from the same village. Those in the Tsing Yi army had held her down and in order to defend herself, she exposed her hiding place with her blunt tongue. Moreover, she pointed out where the other young women hid in order to gain some credits from the soldiers.

This woman is foolish beyond measure, her heart is utterly evil. If she hadn’t done this, those women in the village could have escaped this calamity.

All the blame is put on this cunning and rotten black widow, some couldn’t withstand the humiliation and committed suicide, some were abused and humiliated while alive, some clenched their teeth as they were bullied by one bastard after another. Moreover, the limbs of some were severed and thrown into the pot to cook into soup.

Why doesn’t this woman just die already!

As if her tail has been stepped on, she was provoked and unleashed her prowess to jump at the other person’s face.

Nonetheless, she didn’t succeed. Her face was scratched by a flying stone aimed at her. Suddenly, her forehead was suddenly inflicted with a wound and her blood flowed profusely.

She cried and groaned, tears and mucus flowed down her face.

Before their village faced this disaster, this lady had loved to speak without restraint. She ranked the ladies and men from every household who had affairs, her mouth was full of gossip which had even resulted in the loss of lives. She knew the butcher in the village was a petty guy and he was very possessive of his wife, yet she still went around speaking lies. She mentioned that the butcher’s wife had a rendezvous with a bandit at home and made it sound so real. Denying all the accuses against her, this young lady was accidentally killed by her jealous, butcher husband. Only then did this big-mouth lady stop gossiping.

Many of the ladies didn’t want to witness such an unreasonable scene of ignorance, so they kept silent as they took the clothing the Tsing Yi soldiers wore and wrapped themselves as they prepared to escape. Those with brains surely didn’t want to stay and await death.
