Become a founding empress in ancient times with the system

"Where are you going with me?" Having made a sarcastic remark, Sheng Changan began to ask about the real business.

"Don't worry, Miss Sheng. That little brother didn't say anything. It's just that the adults guessed a little."

Sheng Changan suppressed the fake smile on his face and said, "Then tell me what your Lordship guessed?"

"Miss Sheng's name on the city entry card is Xia An. Perhaps she forgot, or perhaps she didn't want to hide it. Later, when she introduced herself to the adults, she said her last name was Sheng."

"His surname is Sheng, and he is from Guangping. According to the information you have found, the county magistrate of Guangping County is named Sheng Chang'an." Yu Xiuran narrated seriously.

Of course, she hadn't forgotten. She just wanted to build a good relationship with the prefect. By mentioning his name, she naturally wanted to tell him not to repay the wrong person. But she didn't expect him to die so soon.

"Then what? Are you going to follow me back to Guangping?" Sheng Changan asked calmly.

"From what that young brother said, it seems that you don't have many people under you. I would like to recommend myself to you." Yu Xiuran bowed his head and saluted.

"So your master has calculated until today, but still decided to die?"

"If the master doesn't die, his two sons will definitely not survive. If he dies, the Liu family will continue to look for someone, but they will definitely not pay much attention to it."

The adults are alive, and there are more people than just these few to find him. This is the best result after their discussion.

"How many people are going to Guangping?" There were already quite a few people at the city gate, but more people were rushing here one after another.

"Don't worry, sir. We have divided into several groups and headed to Guangping. There are not many people left now, only about a thousand."

Sheng Changan's face froze. It turned out that a group of people had already set out, and now these people were waiting for her here. "What if I don't come?"

"Then I will lead you there, but that young man said that the adults will definitely come to pick him up after knowing what happened here, so I deliberately stayed here for a while."

Sheng Changan took a deep breath. "Wang Yi, you're really good!" She also knew that Wang Yi would not say this directly. It was probably inferred from his words during that period.

Perhaps these people have studied his words over and over again countless times. When a group of old hands face a rookie who has just started out, the result can be imagined.

Even though she knew this, she still got angry when she saw how Yu Xiuran knew her.

"Chen Ze, tell me about Guangping County's policy on taking in refugees." She didn't want to talk to this man at all now, as she would get angry easily.

Yu Xiuran visibly relaxed. If this lord disagreed, he would have no choice but to tell him about the mess Lord Zhou had left for her. It seemed like their analysis was pretty much the same.

Chen Ze stepped forward. "Rule 1: Cannibalism is strictly prohibited in Guangping County. Violators will be killed. Rule 2..."

Sheng Changan, who was behind, could no longer hear anything. Sitting in the carriage, looking at the sea of ​​people outside, her head started throbbing. Some people were still looking over here curiously.

"Dashan, come here for a moment. Lead the team in front and try to avoid crowded places along the way."

"Yes"

Sheng Changan sighed. The south was not so bad, with its many mountains. They could disperse and avoid being seen by taking detours. But in the north, it was mostly plains, and it was unlikely that they would be able to avoid attracting attention.

She touched her chin and thought, why not ask Yue Heng for permission to pass through. She had found a lot of stones from there to defend the city, and they didn't say anything about her actions at that time.

This time, I just need to borrow his passage. The Yueheng County Magistrate will definitely not have any objections. I have also helped him block the Xianbei invasion before. After all, I have helped him a lot. He will definitely not mind such a small request.

"My lord, everything has been arranged." Yu Xiu Ran was a pretty easy-going person.

Seeing the favorable impression on Chen Ze's face, Sheng Changan was speechless. Although Chen Ze was young, he was still not very trusting. In such a short time, he actually developed a good impression of Xiu Ran.

What on earth did they say? Sheng Changan's expression was too obvious for Chen Ze to miss. "He's very organized, very thoughtful, and considerate of adults."

Sheng Changan twitched his lips. Considerate? Isn't that what he should do? Considerate? He wanted to do things for himself, but he couldn't consider her. Could this person be someone Zhou Song had specially arranged to deal with her?

Look, it hasn’t been long and Chen Ze has started speaking for him.

Sheng Changan was right. They thought Yu Xiuran was the best person to establish a good relationship with their future boss. Ultimately, if they plotted and researched this person, they would definitely offend him.

Yu Xiu Ran is usually very good at guessing his superiors' thoughts, so it would be best for him to deal with them. By the time we get to Guangping, this boss will have calmed down.

Guangping County:

After the weather turned warmer, the Xianbei began to make repeated attempts. Each time, there were not many people coming, so it was easier to deal with, but keeping everyone trapped in the city was not a solution.

Sitting in the meeting room, Shen Huaizhi was silent for a while before saying, "We can't go on like this. They have repeatedly made probing attempts but haven't launched a large-scale attack. There must be something wrong. I plan to take some people to the Xianbei."

"Don't worry, I'm here, there will be no problem." Shen Pingyang touched his graying beard.

Lin Chuan also agreed with this idea. The Xianbei's behavior these days was really strange. "Well, the outer city wall is still under construction. If this continues, they will be discovered sooner or later."

County Magistrate Wu thought of what Zhang Shi had said and said hesitantly, "I heard that the water level in the city's wells seems to have dropped recently."

After a moment's thought, he added, "But even if there's a drought, with that forest over there, the city shouldn't be in big trouble."

Recently, their exploration of this forest has made considerable progress. If it weren't for the frequent harassment from the Xianbei, they would have been able to reach the interior of the forest before the adults returned.

What Wu You said does make sense, and this is the only way for now.

Having a large population has many advantages, but naturally there are also disadvantages. The south is full of mountains, and there are many people who have become bandits. Sheng Changan and his group had been targeted just a few days after leaving Luochuan.

Looking at the big mountains not far ahead, they could only stop for the time being.

"I've heard a little about this mountain. There's a stronghold on it. The people there often come down the mountain to rob food and property. There should be about 400 people there." Yu Xiu Ran analyzed slowly.

"Other people walking in front of us were not targeted, so why were we targeted?" Sheng Changan was really curious.

"Sir, the brave will die of overeating, while the timid will die of starvation. The people ahead don't have so many things with them."

Sheng Changan took a breath and asked, "Did those groups of people in front of us travel in simple attire?"

"The adults are smart. They threw away everything that could be thrown away. Now these are the possessions of everyone in the city combined." There were also some children who were too young.

She no longer wanted to hear Yu Xiuran praising her. She had felt it was strange before. There were more than a thousand people, and almost every household had a cow. Some even had horse-drawn carriages with a lot of things on them.

Some people looked like they were not a family at all, yet they were grouped together. However, she felt that Yu Xiuran and his people would not plot against her in this way. After all, he was here too, and weren't they afraid that she would turn against them halfway through?

Sheng Changan gritted his teeth and said, "Are you guys thinking too highly of me?"
