Chapter 64: The Guards’ Schemes
Seeing the tents slowly being set up on the flat ground, Liang Chao was surprised and delighted.
“I didn’t expect Wu Dahai to be so considerate. If we had these tents when escorting prisoners before, we wouldn’t have suffered so much in winter.”
“That’s right, Liu Hao is right. Commander, just think, when we have our fun with those women tonight, it won’t be so cold. There’s even a place to block the wind and snow! Just thinking about it feels great, hahahaha!”
Zhang Qiang’s face was full of lechery, his gaze lingering unpredictably on Yu Luo and her sisters.
One had to admit, the Yu family’s genes were really something.
Not only was Yu Luo’s beauty striking, but even though she was only sixteen and not fully matured, it was clear that in a year or two, she would bloom into an unparalleled beauty. Her features and eyes were already stunning.
Perhaps this was one of the perks many transmigrators had — being a natural beauty.
Even Ye Jiamei, despite having similar features to her past life, exuded a classical charm, perhaps due to the original host being from ancient times.
As long as Ye Jiamei didn’t speak, she was the perfect picture of a gentle and classical beauty. But once she opened her mouth, her demeanor completely shattered that image.
Yu Haojie had even secretly rejoiced at his younger wife’s beauty, though he hadn’t had a chance to be intimate with her.
Then there was Yu Yingying, with her fair skin and sweet appearance, an apple-shaped face. If not for her once arrogant and haughty personality, her looks alone would have bewitched many young men and women.
Especially her large eyes with thick lashes; even Ye Jiamei had been envious the first time she saw Yu Yingying.
As for Yu Meiyao, she was arguably the most beautiful among the Yu family sisters, second only to Yu Luo.
She had naturally curved eyebrows, fair and delicate skin, and a pair of eyes that seemed born to seduce men — with a slight fox-like allure. Her high nose bridge and full red lips, combined with her already mature and curvaceous figure at just sixteen, made her irresistibly attractive.
Her tall and slender figure, with a well-proportioned bust and hips, made even a simple dress look enchanting.
Perhaps it was a mix of Lady Lan’s genes and her upbringing, but Yu Meiyao’s beauty was naturally flirtatious, as if it were etched into her bones.
As for the women from the second and third branches of the Yu family, Yu Xiangxiang, if not for her scar, would have been considered a delicate beauty. With some grooming, she could have been quite a catch.
Seventeen-year-old Yu Qiao’er from the third branch was in the prime of her youth, like a blooming flower — neither too ripe nor too raw.
She was tall and fair-skinned, and perhaps due to the Yu family’s genes, she even bore a six or seven-point resemblance to Yu Luo. However, her somewhat aggressive personality often made people overlook her beauty at first glance.
When Zhang Qiang finished speaking, Liu Hao eagerly nodded.
“That curvy one, Yu Meiyao, should be left for the Commander first. Once you’ve had your fill, we can take turns. That girl looks like a real vixen, just like her mother.”
“I think that Yu Luo, who handed us the silver earlier, is the prettiest. She might not have that seductive vibe, but her features are the most stunning of the lot. Tsk tsk, just imagining her crying while I have my way with her makes me want to take her right here and now!”
Liu Hao couldn’t help but swallow, already impatient.
Hearing their conversation, the smile on Liang Chao’s face vanished, replaced by a stern and serious expression.
Seeing the Commander’s sudden change of face, Zhang Qiang, who had been excitedly fantasizing, immediately looked puzzled and uneasy.
Usually, the Commander was the most eager when he saw pretty girls. What was wrong today? With so many young beauties around, was the Commander suddenly not interested anymore?
“Commander, what’s wrong? Aren’t those girls to your liking?”
“No one is to touch the Yu family women.”
Zhang Qiang, Liu Hao: !?
“Why? Commander, what’s going on? Weren’t you looking at their profiles yesterday, deciding how to play with them? Why the sudden change of heart today?
“Besides, I checked carefully. The Yu family women are all top-tier! A few of them haven’t even been touched yet. Even that concubine of Yu Zhengqing and Yu Haojie’s wife — they might be older, but they still look great. Who knows, they might be even more fun than those untouched girls!
“There’s even a pregnant one! Wouldn’t that be extra thrilling? Who knows, if we play too rough, the baby might just… ”
“I said no one is to touch them, and that’s final. Do you think Wu Dahai would chase us down just to deliver two tents if it weren’t for something serious?”
Seeing Zhang Qiang questioning his decision, Liang Chao’s tone grew cold and impatient, cutting him off sharply.
Hearing the Commander’s serious tone, the two guards shut their mouths, nodding reluctantly.
But they still couldn’t help glancing at the busy figures of the Yu family women, swallowing their frustration and envy.
“What about the others?”
The fire of lust had already been ignited by the sight of the Yu family women, and Zhang Qiang was unwilling to give up. He probed cautiously, not wanting to miss any hint of leniency.
“The others? Do what you want. But if you want to trade for silver, save those who haven’t been touched.”
“Women are nothing compared to silver! We’ll do as you say, Commander.”
Finally, the tents were fully set up by the male prisoners.
While the Yu family members enjoyed warm meals cooked over a fire, the rest of the prisoners gnawed on hard black bread handed out by the guards, gazing enviously at the Yu family’s tents.
When they were thirsty, they had to eat snow. When they were hungry, they clutched that single piece of bread, unable to eat it all at once for fear of having nothing until the next day.
Compared to the Yu family’s situation, their plight was a thousand times worse.
“Husband, why don’t you go and try to borrow a pot from the Yu family? In this cold, even we adults can hardly bear it. If we could at least drink some hot water, it would be a blessing.
“I also saw them crumbling black bread into snow water to make a kind of porridge. That’s got to be better than chewing on these rock-hard loaves.”
