"There are two alive here!"

Before Yefeng could resist, a huge coercion hit her, causing her, who was only a high-ranking military officer, to faint immediately.

When she opened her eyes again, she was already in a bullock cart full of people, with a thick rope around her neck and her hands tied behind her. Aunt Zhang, the wet nurse, fell at her feet and still didn't wake up.She tried to summon up her internal strength to check her body, and found that although her meridians were damaged, they were not seriously injured. This made her sigh in relief, and then she had time to raise her eyes to take stock of the situation she was currently in.

The small bullock cart was crowded with old, weak, women and children. Some were injured and still hadn't woken up, while others were frightened and sobbing softly. On both sides of the bullock cart, there were two men who looked like warriors on horses watching over them.

When the ox cart carrying them walked through the remote official road and reached the mountain road, it could no longer go forward. The man driving the ox cart in front abandoned the cart and dragged them all out of the car. He dragged the thick ropes around their necks and dragged them up the rugged mountain road like animals.

The sea breeze carrying snowflakes crossed the mountains and arrived in the bleak forest. A cold chill hit Ye Feng's face. She raised her head tiredly and found that after walking for several days, they had arrived near the county seat.As the scenery of the mountains and forests along the road gradually disappeared, private houses located in the fields began to appear. Then when she set foot on the official road again, she found that the county town she was familiar with was no longer what she remembered.

In the bustling county town in the past, the original neat streets were no longer there. The black smoke from the burning houses blackened the walls. Abandoned carriages, damaged frames or belongings could be seen everywhere on the streets. The county town, which had been looted by many refugees, now had a sad look on its face.Along the way, groups of people like them were escorted into the city like prisoners, all of them dragging their feet towards the center of the city with their heads down or in despair.

When the county government was already in sight, Yefeng looked up anxiously and looked around, but she didn't see the soldiers who were supposed to be guarding the county government. She only saw a group of unfamiliar warriors. She couldn't help but ask a group of people who had just been dragged out of the county government.

"Where are the prefects? Where are the prefect and his wife?" What's going on?As a prefect, shouldn’t dad sit here and give orders?Why are there not even a few officers and soldiers around to see and say anything, but there are still some powerful warriors standing guard everywhere?

"Prefect?" One of the men raised his head when he heard this and motioned her to look aside, "Isn't it right there?" Yefeng followed his instructions and saw that on the wall not far from the county government gate, the figures of her parents were likeThe broken doll hung high on top. She stared blankly, trembling and just about to call her parents, Aunt Zhang, who was walking behind her, turned and bumped into her hard, causing her to fall to the ground.The sharp stone on the ground hit her forehead, causing burning pain and a moment of clarity. The pain was so real and cruel that she took a deep breath.

Before she could even chew on her sorrow, a warrior on the roadside picked up her collar and kicked her behind her to keep going forward. Her head was still blank and she didn't have time to stand firm on her feet, so she fell back to the ground unexpectedly. This time, the gravel scratched her cheek hard, leaving half of her face stained with blood.

When she didn't stand up for a long time, which made the warrior very dissatisfied and wanted to add another kick, Aunt Zhang had already rushed behind her.

"My lord, my lord... my child was born weak. Please be kind and spare her..." Aunt Zhang begged while kicking Ye Feng with her feet. "What are you doing standing still? Why don't you stand up and walk quickly?" As the thick rope tied around her neck was pulled andPushed by Aunt Zhang behind her, Yefeng stood up unsteadily, returned to the queue and continued walking forward. She listened blankly in the county office as Aunt Zhang fabricated their new identities to the person in charge, and then was taken to a newly built prison.

The long-term fatigue and excessive sadness hit her young body, and she fell down as soon as she reached the prison. Her body was frighteningly hot. Aunt Zhang dragged her into her arms with tears in her eyes and refused to let go.

Chapter 1(2)

"Nanny..." Nofeng opened his eyes in confusion.

Aunt Zhang put her chin on her forehead and said hoarsely: "From now on, the two of us are the only ones left..." After being imprisoned for several days, listening to the news coming intermittently from outside, not only Yefeng and the wet nurse, but everyone in the prison felt frightened by the news they found out.

It turns out that those warriors are not human beings, or rather, they used to be human beings, but now they have a new name called soul service. They were all made by Meng Canjun who occupied the county. The reason why Meng Canjun raised them was because they were the "materials" used to make wishes.

Anyone who owns a soul paper knows that making a wish requires paying a price.But no one who wants to be a soul master wants to sacrifice themselves, let alone suffer any harm to themselves, so they set their sights on others.

So the people all over the city and the refugees who lived here became free materials for making wishes.

After several attempts, Meng Canjun found that young and strong men were the best materials for making wishes, while old, weak, women and children were the worst.The soul service promised in exchange for killing a dozen men was just for a junior warrior. The soul service promised after killing a hundred men was lucky enough to be for an intermediate warrior. By analogy, if thousands of lives are used, then can a high-level warrior be loyal to himself?

If tens of thousands of human lives were used, would it be possible to produce the coveted prime ministers? After having prime ministers, it would no longer be a fantasy to expand the territory in this troubled world and reach a higher level in the future?

So in just a few months, the houses, temples and other buildings in the county were demolished one by one, and the vacated land was converted into large cells under Meng Canjun's order to store the wishing materials that would be used in the future.Once the imprisoned materials were exhausted, Meng Shenjun sent out all the soul servants under his banner to attack any place where there was a living person in the neighboring towns and counties, and plundered the people and put them in prison as the next wave of wish-making materials.

As spring passed and autumn came, the ten prisons in the county became empty and full, full and empty again. The only one whose population did not change significantly was the prison where the old, weak, women and children were imprisoned.Due to the low practicality of such materials, most of the soul slaves promised were ordinary people, so Meng Shenjun averted his eyes and did not send them to work. However, they were not kept in vain. They were all used as slaves of the Meng family. They were allowed to work in the Meng Mansion during the day and were imprisoned at night.

Two years later, Yefeng's identity changed from the daughter of the prefect to a servant serving night fragrance in the Meng Mansion. She worked hard with the dirty smell all day long. When she returned to the prison at night, she had no time to relax.

Aunt Zhang, who is elderly, has been getting worse and worse ever since she was imprisoned without enough food and clothing. After Yefeng asked the prison chief to guard her, she has been resting in the prison to recuperate.But no one knew that Aunt Zhang, who lay in the two-person cell all day long, would lie next to the wall and dig holes with silver hairpins during the day when everyone left the prison to go to work. After Yefeng returned to the cell at night, Yefeng would take over and continue digging carefully. This digging lasted for two years, and after two years, they finally found a hope.

Until Aunt Zhang became seriously ill and the money they had used to bribe the prison boss had been exhausted. Seeing that Aunt Zhang might be in danger without medicine, Yefeng gave up the idea of digging for a while longer so that the prison hole would be bigger so that the two of them could escape together.In the dead of night, after she helped Aunt Zhang to sleep, she quietly got out of the small hole that could only allow her child to pass through, and sneaked into the courtyard that used to be the prefect's old residence but is now the Meng Mansion in the dark, and went into the pharmacy to find some useful medicine.

When the sky was about to dawn, Yefeng, who had not harvested much, carried a few pieces of old ginger and a few ginseng in his arms, and secretly climbed onto the ox cart responsible for transporting night incense and left the courtyard. However, the cart was stopped on the street after a while. There were bushes of torches held high in all directions, and the street was as bright as day. Then there was the sound of an orderly army marching from far to near.
