Become a founding empress in ancient times with the system

It seems that many people knew this news along the way. Sheng Changan frowned. They met quite a few people along the way. After getting rid of those people, there were still a lot of people following them.

Now she can only acquiesce to this situation. People tend to stick together, and as long as she is not provoked, she thinks she is relatively easy to talk to.

The most important thing is that these people look like ordinary people. Although they are hungry, they still have conscience.

Sheng Changan had a headache. These people did not violate her taboos, so she wanted to take them back as much as possible. However, the flood came suddenly, and most people did not bring much food when they fled.

She couldn't watch these people starve to death, not to mention that there were children of several years old among them. Some people ate humans because they liked to eat them, and some people exchanged their own children for food because they had no choice. She didn't want these people to go to this point.

Sun Yuan came over. After a period of recuperation, his health had improved a lot. The remaining fatigue was purely due to the long journey. "Miss, do you want to help them?"

"They are very obedient." She didn't even give them food, but just said that if they wanted to follow her, they had to abide by her rules, and these people did so honestly.

In other words, she wants such an obedient person!

"There are many bandit problems in the south. If we can deal with some of them, perhaps we can solve the current predicament."

She had also thought about what Sun Yuan said. Although most of the more than 30 people brought from Guangping were with her, she was still a little worried about the robbery by bandits because the strength of the two sides was not on par.

"Are you familiar with the bandit dens nearby?" Or she could look for any vulnerable targets.

"There's one nearby. It's probably made up of deserters. They were supposedly under General Shen's command."

Sheng Changan looked at Sun Yuan scrutinizingly. "What do you want to say?"

"I just think these people are useful." Sun Yuan lowered his head.

Sheng Changan was silent for a while before he smiled and said, "Sergeant, find a few people who are good at finding out, and go with Master Sun to check out the situation. Master Sun, do you have any objections?"

"This is what I should do." Sun Yuan naturally had no objection, as this was exactly what he wanted.

"Then I'll wait for your good news. Xu Qing, notify them and let them rest for a while."

Xu Qing has gotten used to it. He has been running around these days. Now, as soon as he sits down, he just wants to sleep and has no time to think about anything else.

Towards evening they finally brought the news.

"More than a hundred?" Sheng Changan moved his fingers slightly.

"They should have come out of the barracks. The layout is very similar to that of a military camp," the sergeant said with a serious expression.

"If that's the case, we might have already attracted attention. Sergeant, when you go to investigate, do you see if they have any strange behavior?"

"They were changing shifts when we went there, and it seemed they didn't notice us." The sergeant frowned and thought.

It’s hard to say whether it was a real shift change or just a notification.

"Miss, are we going to leave at night?" The sergeant glanced at Sun Yuan who was standing silently beside him. Could this man be trying to trick them?

Sheng Changan shook her head, pursed her lips and said nothing. If it were just them, it would be convenient, but she couldn't just ignore the refugees who followed them. What if they really had malicious intentions and had already discovered them?

Maybe he will come soon. If he is really one of General Shen's men, he might be of use to her.

Sheng Changan was about to say something when someone ran over and said, "Miss, someone is coming."

As expected, they were discovered. Sheng Changan stood up and looked at the figures getting closer and closer. What surprised her was that they were holding two bags of food in their hands. After putting them down, they planned to leave without saying goodbye.

"Wait." Sheng Changan walked over quickly. "Can I talk to your boss?"

There were four big men in total. They looked at each other, and a bearded man said, "Our boss is busy."

"I won't waste too much of your time. You've seen the people here, and they're probably no match for you."

"How do you know it was me?"

Sheng Changan smiled. She didn't believe these people would come over without taking any measures unless they were very confident. And this bearded man had light footsteps and thick calluses on his hands.

Most importantly, the three people behind him were all centered around him. "It's too obvious. Don't worry, I'm just saying a few words."

He said in a rough voice, "We don't have much food. This is all we have."

"You are so open about being a deserter, aren't you afraid that I will tell others about it?" Sheng Chang'an's expression remained unchanged.

The night was too dark, and the bearded man's expression could not be seen. However, the man behind him had a sudden change of expression, and there was murderous intent in his eyes.

The sergeant stood aside cautiously, fearing that they would suddenly rush up.

"What do you want to say?" The big man was a little impatient. He really didn't like talking to people who could say many things in one sentence, for fear that he would be trapped.

"I want to ask you if you want to follow me."

The big man glanced at Sheng Changan in surprise. "Are you going to rebel?"

Sheng Changan curled the corners of his mouth.

“Otherwise, if you know we are deserters and still want us to go with you, it’s either rebellion or conspiracy.

Sheng Changan was really helpless with this kind of straight ball person. "You can still help us at this time, I admire you very much."

The big man scoffed, clearly showing his disbelief. "With our status, only the rebels would dare to accept us. No one else would. And our food is not for you."

Sheng Changan was a little speechless. This guy was really stubborn. "So you guys are just going to stay here and be bandits forever? Even if you didn't do anything, everyone would still want you to be beaten."

"I promise that if you join us, no one will mention your identities as bandits. I swear, this is from the heart, I really want to recruit you."

"And don't you want to get married, have children, and live an ordinary life?"

The three people behind were all tempted. They had no one left at home, so they dared to resist and ended up becoming deserters.

"What do you want us to do?" Although the words sounded so nice, he still knew that there was no free lunch in the world.

Sheng Changan coughed lightly and said, "It's like this. My place is a bit remote, but it's still quite wealthy, so some people are eyeing us covetously. We even had a fight two years ago."

"Even though I've driven them away, I feel like they're still harboring evil intentions. I'd like to ask you to help me drive them away. It would be best if you could teach them a lesson so they don't have to keep asking for trouble."

"But don't worry, we offer very generous treatment. If you're not satisfied after you go there, you can leave at any time."
