Among the fifteen Jinyiwei, including Wang Gu, only five remained, all injured and unable to walk. Min Ning assigned a few constables to carry them.
The constables from the Eastern Factory, who had arrived as reinforcements, were divided into two groups. One group either cradled the surviving infants from the Infant Tower or carried the wounded Jinyiwei on their backs, while the other group escorted the detained villagers.
Chen Yi sat on horseback, gazing toward the distant Capital City.

Glancing at the groaning Jinyiwei and the crippled Wang Gu, Chen Yi frowned slightly.
