Become a founding empress in ancient times with the system

Sheng Changan's eyes darkened. "Prisoner?"

Ashler Yan curled his lips and said, "Why don't we find a place to discuss this in detail? Actually, these Han people originally wanted to kill us."

He paused, "But four years ago, a group of Han women suddenly disappeared. After repeated investigations, they were discovered to be here."

He glanced at Shen Huaizhi who was standing aside and said, "That's why I spared their worthless lives. If Lord Sheng doesn't need them, I can only kill them."

"Although I don't want to commit murder, there is no need for useless people to survive." His tone was light, as if he was talking about an insignificant person.

Sheng Chang'an's expression was slightly gloomy. Over the years, Jingguo had been weak and countless people had been captured by the Xianbei. These captives were probably just ordinary people.

"Shouldn't you go and tell the emperor about this? I'm just a small county magistrate and I don't have much say."

Although she intended to rebel, she hadn't officially raised the flag yet, hadn't she? Apart from certain factors, she was indeed a small county magistrate.

Ashler Yan twitched his lips and sneered, "Does he still have a say in Jingguo? The people have been brought here. If Lord Sheng is unwilling to trade, I will have no choice but to kill them all."

Sheng Changan was sure that if she said no to the deal, this person would really kill these people, but if she showed that she cared too much, she would definitely be at a disadvantage.

She raised an eyebrow and said in a cold tone, "Speaking of which, I have also captured quite a few prisoners and haven't figured out what to do with them yet. Your words have given me quite a bit of inspiration."

Ashler Yan's face darkened slightly, but he didn't say anything. He didn't expect that Lord Sheng would not give in at all. These untouchables were no match for him.

His expression changed and he smiled, trying to look harmless, but his forced smile only made him look even more gloomy.

"Master Sheng really loves to joke around. We still have a lot of time. Why don't you fix it first and we can continue chatting sometime."

Sheng Changan decided to stop while he was ahead. If things got out of hand, it would be a bad ending. "Alright, then I'll leave first and let County Magistrate Wu greet you first."

County Magistrate Wu came up at the right time, and Lin Chuan followed Sheng Chang'an inside. As for Li Dashan, he naturally had to stay here just in case.

"Why did he come here suddenly?" Sheng Changan asked calmly. After all, there were too many onlookers here, and if she showed that something was wrong, it would easily be over-interpreted.

Lin Chuan's tone was slightly deep. Although the Jingguo royal family was licentious and immoral, he was still a Han Chinese after all, and he almost had a natural hostility towards the Xianbei people.

He has been here for nearly a month, and he is accompanied by a 100,000-strong Xianbei army. For some unknown reason, Ashler Yan did not start a war, but only stationed outside the city.

Even so, people in the city are still in panic, and many businessmen have chosen to leave, so the city has been relatively deserted recently. However, with nearly tens of thousands of people here, it is not that deserted.

Mr. Shen and Li Dashan were almost ready for war. With explosives in hand, they would have no problem defending the city even if their numbers were several times greater than ours.

But after a few days of stalemate, they suddenly started talking about negotiations. At the same time, about a few hundred Yasukuni civilians appeared. It would be more appropriate to say that it was a threat rather than a negotiation.

They estimated that there were at least a thousand hostages in their hands. After several negotiations, Ashler Yan and several attendants were allowed to enter the city.

He has been staying here for nearly a week and insisted on having personal peace talks with Sheng Changan.

In desperation, they could only send signals and send people to support them.

Sheng Changan thought thoughtfully, "Where exactly have they been during this period?"

"Apart from the places we strictly prohibit, the place they stay most often is the city gate." Because of them, the city even imposes a curfew at twilight hour, and anyone who stays outside beyond this time is considered to be collaborating with the enemy.

Although the people in the city are relatively cooperative, the workload is still quite heavy, and these people will not really stay here and not move around.
