Become a founding empress in ancient times with the system

"Host, don't worry. This world still exists," the system said comfortingly. "It's just that everyone in the future will die."

"When the snipe and the clam quarrel, the fisherman benefits. The host should have heard this saying."

There was a moment of silence...

Sheng Changan frowned. "What else?"

The system was a little surprised. "No more! I can't reveal the future direction of this world. The host needs to find the truth himself."

Sheng Chang'an was speechless. What difference would it make if he said this or not? The only clue he had was that when the snipe and the clam quarrel, the fisherman benefits. Could this be referring to the Xianbei?

Judging from the Liu family's behavior, it is understandable if almost all the people in the world died, but if everyone died, what kind of emperor would they be?

"Sir," Mudan walked over slowly and closed the door after making sure no one noticed.

"Walls have ears, just call me Xiao Liu." If anyone heard it, it would be easy to guess her identity.

"Xiao Liu," she smiled, a hint of joy in her eyes, "Do you want to know what's going on in the inner courtyard?"

"They are some girls. They were specially exchanged here to be raised from a young age. The youngest is only three years old."

Shen Huaizhi also looked over, somewhat puzzled.

"A three-year-old can't do anything. How could they be willing to do that for such a long time?" Sheng Changan felt a little strange.

"People like this are also extremely loyal to this place. We can't even see them, but we just know they exist."

She smiled slightly, but there was a hint of sarcasm in her eyes. "After all, in my mother's eyes, people like us are not very honest. If we come into contact with them, we will instigate them."

Mudan laughed softly. "But it doesn't matter. People always come up with solutions. She doesn't allow us to have any contact, so I'm going to give it a try."

Although her words sounded like she was angry, Sheng Changan knew that was not the case. She was also worried that when a person was instilled with this kind of thinking from a young age, it would be difficult to change in the future.

If a person despises himself, the result can be imagined.

Sheng Changan's heart moved slightly, "Did they make contact?"

"Of course," she said proudly. "I believe that as long as I hold on to hope, maybe one day I'll be able to get out. Look, isn't the opportunity here now?"

She blinked at Sheng Changan and said, "It's a pity that they are under very strict guard. We don't have many opportunities to contact them. Besides, there are many masters among them. If these people appear here, you must hide in time."

"We're all weak, but the difference between practicing martial arts and not practicing martial arts is huge. And our mother knows everything about every girl in the building, from the handymen to the older girls."

"What's more, he even remembers every customer he had a deal with. Do you know why I was able to appear there in time?"

"Everyone who enters through the door will be noticed by the sisters, and the way you walk, you can tell at a glance that you are not a prostitute." She stood up and took two steps.

Sheng Changan then realized that although she had tried her best to make her makeup look as close as possible, she still couldn't walk properly.

Every move of Peony is full of charm. Her waist sways when she walks, and her face is charming. If her color is seven points, it becomes ten points when she walks.

She restrained her expression and sat down. "So try not to leave this room. Those people will come out to take a look occasionally."

Sheng Changan's eyes narrowed slightly. "I understand."

Mudan was about to leave when she suddenly remembered something, "Our mother is a man, a Xianbei, but she looks like a Han Chinese."

Sheng Changan was a little stunned. "A man?" This was something she had never thought of. Looking at Mudan's contemptuous expression, it meant that the way he walked must have been taught by someone. How could it be a man?

Mudan smiled and said, "Maybe only men know what kind of women men want to sleep with." She still can't forget the scene of him personally teaching her, and she feels really ashamed of herself.

"I understand, thank you." Sheng Changan was very serious. She really helped him so much.

"This is what I should do." She bowed slightly before leaving.

"This is not a place to stay for long."

Sheng Changan also thought about it. According to Mudan, even with them as cover, the possibility of them being discovered was still very high, and once discovered, it would implicate them.

Sheng Changan sighed, "We'll leave in two days. Maybe Yuan Qi will have some news."

Feeling that the inspections here had become increasingly strict recently, they had no choice but to leave first. Fortunately, it was relatively easy for them to get out as there were only two of them.

It was probably because Shen Huai killed a deputy general, which caused panic among the people. Most of these Xianbei people went out in groups, so it was difficult to find an opportunity to attack.

"There's still half a month left." Sheng Changan thought for a moment. She felt that these people might be desperate and desperate. "Has anyone come here to check recently?"

"I've been here, no doubt about it." Yuan Qi was very sure that it was just a show, something he was quite good at, not to mention that they were not mainly looking for him.

I have been here for a few days. The inspections were very frequent before, but it has suddenly become quiet recently.

Sheng Changan touched her pounding heart. She always felt that something was going to happen, but she had explosives and muskets here. Although they could not be repelled, they could at least prevent them from attacking for the time being.

But what was going on with this confused feeling? "Shen Huaizhi, go ask Qiao Song if there's any news recently?" No matter what, even if he was a puppet, he should know more than them.

Yuan Qi calculated the time and said, "We have been here for more than half a month, and these people don't seem to have any patience." In other words, it's time for some trouble to happen.

Yes! It’s time for something to happen. Sheng Changan lowered his eyebrows, his eyes full of coldness.

Shen Huaizhi came back quickly, his brows furrowed, his lips pursed, and his expression not looking good. "Sir, they ordered you to appear at the gate of the inner city within five days."

"What are they going to use to threaten you?" Yuan Qi's face was not very good. Since they said so, they must be absolutely sure.

Sheng Changan's eyes were full of murderous intent. Of course, when threatening someone, she had to find something that she cared about the most. It was well known that she advocated gender equality, so the reason was obvious.

"Those women in the brothel, and some of the young children" The orphanage in Guangping County and the story of the women serving as officials spread everywhere. Although it attracted many people, it also gave others a ready-made handle.

"Today is the second day. If no one shows up before dark on the fifth day, they will kill these people."

"No, the adults can't show up." Although he felt sorry for them, he still knew what was important. "Once the adults show up, anyone can use this to threaten you."

In the eyes of the powerful, the untouchables are like ants, but if the death of some ants can eliminate their biggest threat, he believes that most people will do so. As for the thoughts of the ants, it doesn't matter at all.

Shen Huaizhi didn't say anything. He knew that Yuan Qi was right, but the adults would definitely not agree, even if such things would continue to happen.

Sheng Changan took out a piece of white paper and wrote only two words: Come quickly

After watching the eagle fly out of the sky, she looked at them and said, "If Li Hui and the others can't get here in time, I will delay first." She believed that these people had seen the power of explosives and would not want to get it.

Seeing their disapproving looks, she smiled casually and said, "Don't worry, I can protect myself. I just need to buy time."

After leaving the house, Yuan Qi said angrily, "Why don't you try to stop me? Don't you know how dangerous this is?"

Shen Huaizhi glanced at him and asked, "Why don't you persuade me?"

Yuan Qi was choked. Didn't he want to persuade her? He thought that Shen Huaizhi had been with him longer, so his persuasion might be effective.

Who knew that even though his eyes were almost cramping from winking, this guy pretended not to see it.

Shen Huaizhi clenched the handle of the knife in his hand and said, "I will be with you when the time comes. Nothing will happen."

Yuan Qi twitched his lips. "Do you think I believe it?" "Although his martial arts skills are good, two fists cannot defeat four feet. Doesn't he know that?"

No matter how much he disapproved, he knew that this matter could not be avoided. How could Captain Li and his men get here so quickly in such a short time?
