"If you don't have a chance, you know how to escape." Shen Yan'er poked Ah Zhen's head again, "The Phoenix Dynasty hates deserters the most, and if they are caught, they will be executed." Even if you can escape from the Shen family, how many more days can you live on the streets? Besides, Erniang is right, this is indeed an opportunity to glorify the lintel for the Shen family. If I can make a concubine, I must ask the emperor to help us write a gold-lettered signboard in the Shen Family Restaurant, so that we will not have to worry about running out of business. ”

He laughed out loud. Although Shen Yan'er is weak, she has a very optimistic personality, perhaps inherited from her mother.

The two were talking, when they suddenly saw the aunt who was serving Zhang Qiaoniang coming over. The fierce and evil aunt led two thugs (who specialize in beating those who ate overlord meals in the restaurant) behind her, and brutally pushed Shen Yan'er and Ah Zhen, who were standing at the door, into the room.

"What are you doing?" Ah Zhen asked nervously by stretching her neck, and retreated to the threshold with both hands to protect Shen Yan'er. As soon as she finished speaking, the door was slammed shut by her aunt. Then I heard the sound of locks and chains. At the same time, the thugs also locked the windows with their hands and feet, and they still stood outside.

Seeing this scene, Shen Yan'er immediately understood. "They were afraid that we would run away. What else do you say to run away at night, and now it's hard to fly with wings. Fortunately, Shen Yan'er had no intention of escaping from the beginning, and when she saw Zhang Qiaoniang's villainous heart, she couldn't help but feel a little funny.

On the last night of the Shen family. Ah Zhen stayed awake all night, but Shen Yan'er slept soundly. It's not that she's really confident, but she has a feeling that she doesn't know if it's self-defeating or not—maybe it's good to be reunited with her mother like this.

Early the next morning, Shen Yan'er and Ah Zhen were picked up by Zhang Qiaoniang. Zhang Qiaoniang urged the two of them to set off quickly, because the huge mass grave was built on the outskirts of the city, and it was an hour's drive from the Shen family, and the registration time was until noon, and it would be too late if it was too late.

After Ah Zhen simply helped Shen Yan'er freshen up, the two were caught in the carriage. In addition to the two of them, there were four thugs in the carriage, who jumped out of the car and fled. Shen Yan'er really wanted to ask Zhang Qiaoniang, "Are you tired of worrying so much", but she didn't plan to run away at all.

Ah Zhen, who has been anxious since getting into the car, held Shen Yan'er's hand, as if she wanted to help Shen Yan'er strengthen her courage, but her uncontrollable trembling and sweat in her palms added a little tension in vain.

"Ah Zhen, you don't have to come with me. I can take care of myself on my own. Seeing that she was getting closer and closer to the mass grave, Shen Yan'er really wanted to persuade Ah Zhen to go home. Although the imperial court allowed the show girl to bring a female maidservant with her, there was no rule that she must bring it. Shen Yan'er also knew that her murder was auspicious, and she couldn't bear to send Ah Zhen to death together.

"Miss, I promise you, I will never let you die before me." Ah Zhen held Shen Yan'er's hand tightly and swore solemnly, "If you keep me by your side, it's like an extra life." That's all I can do for you. ”

"Silly Azhen......" Shen Yan'er was inexplicably moved, and her eyes turned red unconsciously. She gently took Ah Zhen and held her in her arms, gently stroking her head. With Ah Zhen and the blood jade sword inlaid with her mother's relics, she had the illusion that she was omnipotent. If there was no Ah Zhen, she could accept death calmly, but it was precisely because of Ah Zhen that the desire to get out of the mass grave alive became extremely strong.

The carriage galloped along the rugged mountain road, and along the way I saw many other carriages that sent the show girls to participate in the trial, some luxurious, some simple. There are no strict rules on bloodline in the Phoenix Dynasty draft, as long as they are strong in martial arts, they are eligible to apply. Only a sick and weak woman like Shen Yan'er needs to spend money and money in private at home.

"Miss, look at that person." Ah Zhen sees a strange person through the open car window. Because the mountain road is tortuous and the road is long, all the show girls are driving there, but now they suddenly found a walker.

The man was wrapped in a black cloak, and his figure was slender and tall as could be seen from his back. But the temperament is gloomy, if it weren't for the fact that I thought I had hit a ghost in broad daylight.

When the Shen family's carriage passed by her, Shen Yan'er shouted to the coachman, "Stop." Then he leaned on the window and greeted the man: "Girl, are you here for the draft?" It's still a long way from the mass grave, so let's give you a ride. ”

It was probably the first time she was accosted, and the woman in black looked a little surprised. She lifted her head slightly, revealing a small half of her face under the hood. With a thin chin, a high nose bridge, and red lips, she is beautiful and moving, not like a native of the Phoenix Dynasty, and seems to have some Hu blood.

Because there were often wars on the frontier, most of the Hu people in the Phoenix Dynasty were freed prisoners of war or slaves, so their status was low and despised. It was to be expected that she could not afford to hire a carriage.

Although the imperial court did not prohibit Hu people from participating in the draft, they were usually easy targets for collective attacks, and they died after barely a few levels. So she is more like she is here to die than Shen Yan'er.

Perhaps because of the feeling of pity caused by the same disease, Shen Yan'er kindly persuaded her: "Girl, you won't be able to eat a few bites of food when you enter the mass grave, so you better keep a little more body than try." We can give you a ride. ”

The woman in black only glanced at Shen Yan'er, didn't say a word, turned her head and left, making Shen Yan'er touch her nose, a little inexplicable.

Seeing this situation, Ah Zhen said indignantly: "Hmph, you actually ignore people." Miss, leave her alone, let her walk slowly by herself, it's strange not to break her legs. ”

However, it turns out that they underestimate the strength of the feet of the woman in black. Less than a quarter of an hour after Shen Yan'er arrived at the registration location, Ah Zhen found the figure of the woman in black in the crowd. She walked on foot, the corners of her black cloak were stained with dust and mud, but her expression was still tireless, which was enough to prove that her body was superior.

At the entrance of the mass grave is a wide and flat open space, sandwiched between the rolling peaks, which looks very abrupt, as if it has been flattened by someone. Many show girls from afar got together in twos and threes, as if they were forming an alliance. This can be regarded as an unwritten rule of breaking into mass graves.

In the mass graves full of traps and dangers, a person will never survive. Before entering the mound, everyone will form a small group in groups of three or five to increase the chances of survival.

After Shen Yan'er's carriage stopped, many show girls came to investigate, but after seeing Shen Yan'er's pale face and weak appearance, they left in disappointment. The shape shì was extremely unfavorable to Shen Yan'er, and she was anxious for Ah Zhen, but Zhang Qiaoniang's henchmen were snickering on the side.
