Become a founding empress in ancient times with the system

The alley was too complicated, and Sheng Changan was tied directly into a sack, head down. At first he could barely remember some of the way, but then he fainted.

"These people have become more cautious recently, and it's hard to find one."

Another male voice hesitated, "But this kid seems a little dark. Can he be sold?"

"What do you know? Look at her face. If she can whiten her skin, she'll definitely fetch a good price. Besides, the material of the clothes she's wearing isn't cheap."

The woman paused and said, "I don't know whose family it is. Keep an eye out these next two days and see if anyone asks about the missing child. We can get some money."

When Sheng Changan woke up again, the golden hairpin on her head was gone. She touched the sleeve arrow on her hand and found it was still there, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

When Zheng Yun made this sleeve arrow, he made it extremely delicate. At first glance, it was just a wooden bracelet, but there were not many small arrows inside.

There were only five shots, and she had to make sure she hit the target. If it weren't for it, she wouldn't have dared to take the risk. Even if it was a mountain, she might have been anxious.

The place where she was imprisoned was just a woodshed. Besides her, there was a boy and a girl, about seven or eight years old. Judging from the clothes they were wearing, it was obvious that they came from a well-off family.

The girl was a little flustered, tears streaming down her face. The boy, on the other hand, was a little nervous but remained calm.

Maybe because they are all children, they can move their hands and feet freely.

"How long have you been here?" Sheng Changan looked at the two children sitting opposite him.

The girl was still a little dazed, and the boy looked at her with some surprise, but still said, "I was born the day before yesterday, and Xiaoyu has been here for three days."

"What's your name?" Sheng Changan asked.

"eleven."

Sheng Changan raised his eyebrows, probably knowing that this might not be his real name, but he didn't say much. "My name is Xia An. Do you know anything about this area?"

Eleven shook his head, but Xiaoyu sniffed and said, "I heard them say that a new family seems to have moved in next door."

Eleven's performance was too steady, so they were more cautious. On the contrary, Xiaoyu had been crying since she arrived, so when she occasionally said she wanted to wash her hands, they wouldn't pay much attention.

It can’t be such a coincidence that a new family moved in. “What else do you know?”

"I don't know." She wanted to cry again. Even though she was young, she knew it would be difficult for her to escape.

Suddenly, footsteps were heard. Sheng Changan rubbed his eyes hard several times, and tears fell in the blink of an eye.

This operation confused the two children.

A woman brought three bowls of cold water and three bread and placed them on the ground. "This is for you to eat tonight. Be content."

Then he walked to Sheng Changan and asked, "Where do you live? What does your family do?"

Sheng Changan howled, "Let me go now, or my father will never let you go." Tears fell from his eyes as he spoke.

If this house is near where she rents, she definitely cannot tell anyone, otherwise it will arouse vigilance.

Because of the restrictions granted to her by her identity, even if Li Hui and the others were to look for her, they would not do so in a high-profile manner, which actually gave her room to maneuver.

Xiaoyu was still crying, but when she saw Sheng Changan crying so hard, she stopped.

The woman was a little impatient. Although her hands were itching to do something, if such a good-looking girl was disfigured, the price would definitely be lower.

She could only suppress her anger, lower her head and curse, then turned and left.

Eleven walked over with some surprise and squatted in front of Sheng Changan. "Do you have a way to get out?"

Sheng Changan blinked and said nothing.

Eleven pointed at Xiaoyu and said, "Her family is a merchant family and is well-known in Luochuan. If you rescue her, someone in her family will thank you."

"What about you? What does your father do?"

Eleven was silent for a while. "My father is the prefect. If you save me, I can ask my father to agree to one condition for you."

Sheng Changan touched his chin. This child really didn't seem like a child from an ordinary family. But he was silent for such a long time before speaking. Could it be that he was not favored at home?

If she was not favored, she could have kidnapped him to Guangping County. Moreover, the child's family was actually a merchant family. Judging from his chubby appearance, he must be loved at home.

"Do they only kidnap the rich or powerful?" Otherwise, why would there be only three of them?

"Of course not, it's just that our prices are higher, and those with lower prices live elsewhere. But some of them were abducted, and some were sold here by their families."

Sheng Changan glanced at him up and down and said, "You know quite a lot."

Eleven seemed to suddenly realize something and abruptly changed the subject, "So, can you get us out?"

"Just stay here and relax."

Eleven breathed a sigh of relief. "You have to hurry. The city is under martial law recently, so they can't take action. In a few days, the prefect and my father will be unable to control it and open the city gates. I'm afraid we will have to move to another place."

Sheng Changan rubbed his fingers. Now the main thing was to confirm whether this place was near the house rented by Li Hui and his friends.

Thinking about the scene I saw when I came out, this location is indeed very secluded. Since it is far away from the city, not many people would live here.

Sheng Changan walked to the door, knocked hard, and shouted, "I want to wash my hands. Come and serve me."

Xiaoyu swallowed her saliva. This sister is so amazing.

The door was opened directly, and a man and a woman walked in. "What are you yelling about?"

Sheng Changan straightened his back and said, "I want to wash my hands."

The woman suppressed her anger and said, "You really have a spoiled temper. You'll be in trouble when you sell it. Come with me."

Sheng Changan hummed a few times and followed behind. The place where they were imprisoned seemed to be particularly remote.

Following the woman, when we were almost at a yard, we seemed to hear the sound of a whip breaking through the air.

The woman also realized something and took Sheng Changan to a place not far from the sound.

Sheng Changan clenched his fists, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes.

There were two girls and three boys, one of whom was beaten with a whip. In the weather of several degrees below zero, the whip directly cut through his clothes and hit his body.

The snow on Bai Ze's body was also stained with red blood. He was lying on the ground with his knees bent unnaturally, but there was still hatred in his eyes.

This spirit of unwillingness to accept defeat obviously further angered the man wielding the whip, and he struck even harder.

If this continues, the boy will be beaten to death. Sheng Changan closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and rushed to the boy, "Stop."

The man narrowed his eyes, raised the whip in his hand and was about to swing it down, but was blocked by the woman. "Wait a minute, this girl can't move."
