Born short-lived

The breeder was so frightened that he was shaking badly, he hesitated to say something but couldn't speak clearly.

Dong Sheng saw that he seemed to be making a quick move, so he planned to force him again, and winked at the soldier, who made a gesture to let go, which made the breeder scream.

Li Yaodao: "He said he recruited."

Dong Sheng smiled, and raised his chin at him: "Then tell me, how did you breed with living people?"

The breeder hung on the edge of the well and was so frightened that he could speak incoherently for a long time. He couldn't make sense of more than five words, and he couldn't understand it for a long time. Bring it up."

The black-clothed soldier got the order, and very rudely threw the breeder to the floor on the side like a sandbag, throwing him into a daze.The breeder lay on the ground gasping for a few breaths, and managed to catch his breath, as if he was afraid that Dong Sheng would not be able to wait, so he said everything like a cannonball.

"what did he say?"

Li Yaodao: "He said they exchange blood for people and spirit ghosts."

The few breeders who were still pressed to the ground couldn't bear it any longer, and one of them even spit and cursed a few words. The breeder choked on his companion's scolding in the middle of his confession, with a mournful face. Don't turn your head away and dare not look at them, and worried that Dong Sheng would repent, so he bit the bullet and continued.

After hearing what he said, Li Yao's face turned blue, and goosebumps appeared on his back for no reason, and he said stiffly: "He said... insert two tubes in people's bodies, take away part of their blood, and then put the ghost poured blood into it..."

Isn't this using a living person as a bucket?

Dong Sheng's face sank like water and said: "How much do you want to pour?"

"...He said that it takes about half a bucket. If one spirit ghost is taken out, seven or eight can be bred."

"Seven or eight?" Dong Sheng snorted coldly, "Don't take me for a fool, people and spirit ghosts are not of the same kind, how can blood blend together?"

Li Yao translated it to the breeder according to his original words, and he quickly explained after listening.

"He said that the bodies of human beings and spirit ghosts are actually very similar, and blood fusion is easy, and there is generally a [-]% chance of success."

That is to say, one spirit ghost can breed at least three or four offspring, which is indeed a steady profit without losing money. No wonder Shaan's spirit ghosts are about to become a disaster.

"Are those spirit ghosts bred by you?"

The breeder froze for a moment, then immediately shook his head like a rattle.

"He said that spirit ghosts can also reproduce male and female, but the cycle will be longer than artificial breeding."

And Sha'an needs a large-scale crusade, so they must have enough fresh troops in a short period of time, but they are reluctant to part with their own people, so they have to come to harm Huaxu's northern border.

However, this is the first time for Dong Sheng to hear that spirit ghosts are also divided into male and female. He has seen so many before, but he didn't find any difference in the growth of these beasts with mouths wider than their faces, and he had never seen any of them. With a handle.

Dong Sheng squinted his eyes, then suddenly remembered something, pointed at the unknown liquid all over the floor with a dagger: "What is this?"

He just pointed at this, and the companion who had scolded the breeder before immediately became violent again, spat viciously, and yelled at the man even more viciously than before.

This man was as stubborn as a live eel, and the soldiers on his body couldn't hold it down any longer, so they had to use one hand to hold his head, so that the mad dog would not bite so fiercely.

The breeder who was scolded obviously hesitated, he didn't dare to look at his companion, his face was already pale, his lips were trembling, his eyes faltered a few times, and he really shrank and lowered his head.

"Don't say it, right?" Dong Sheng straightened up and said decisively, "Throw it down."

The black-clothed soldier standing by the well immediately grabbed his arm and dragged him up again. The breeder knew that the man sitting in front of him must want to feed him to the spirit ghost again, so he kicked and kicked him in fright. Unfortunately, he Struggling to the death in this soldier's hands is like a little baby making trouble.

Dong Sheng smiled very calmly and said sarcastic words: "Don't be afraid, just bite you a few bites and you're done. You sucked so much blood from them, and you'll pay them back if you feed them when they die. You'll still be a good man 18 years later." ..."

The soldiers had just dragged him to the well, and he was already howling miserably, his nose and tears covered his face. I don't know if it was because the snot flowed down his throat, and his words were vague, and he couldn't catch his breath from crying, so he had to twitch three times when he said a word.

Li Yao said in embarrassment: "This... I can't hear you clearly."

Dong Sheng pinched the center of his brows with a headache: "...Bring it up."

As soon as the breeder came up, it was like a life-saving straw. While trying to move away from the well, he explained it again.

"He said that it was a fusion agent, without that, human blood would not be able to fully fuse with spirit ghosts."

"Then will he make this fusion agent?"

The breeder had been completely frightened by him, sobbing and answering all the questions, regardless of how his companions scolded him.

Li Yao said: "He said he would."

The breeder's companion was already blushing with anger. If he were to let him go at this moment, he would most likely rush forward and tear the traitor apart.

Dong Sheng let out a long sigh, and nodded with a smile: "That's good."

This smile made Li Yao feel a little creepy, he really couldn't figure out what the prince was planning in his mind, he just felt terrified after thinking about it, so he silently turned his face away, pretending that nothing happened.

"How many people do you want to breed?"

"He said the higher-ups meant at least 50."

"50?" Dong Sheng was shocked for a moment. After all, this is not a small amount, not to mention that it is not 50 troops, but 50 cannibal spirit ghosts. "Breeding with those commoners?"

"...He said that not all people are eligible for breeding, and the number of civilians is far from enough...So some of them are bred by prisoners of war and ghost spirits themselves."

"If you can turn a living person into a spirit ghost, can you change it back?"

After hearing his question, the breeder couldn't help but froze, silently swallowed his saliva, shook his head tremblingly, and carefully explained the principle to Dong Sheng.

Li Yao's expression became more and more gloomy, his fists were clenched calmly, and his bones were creaking, as if he had thought of something, his eyes turned red: "He said...he said that the process is irreversible. The body structure of spirit ghosts is different. After forcibly turning a person into a spirit ghost, many organs will be damaged, the heart and stomach will swell, and the lungs, liver and spleen will shrink... Even if you can really turn back into a human, you will not survive much sky."

Dong Sheng stared at the breeder without saying a word for a while, his eyes were like two endless deep pools, dark and full of bone-chilling chill, but he suddenly revealed a calmness that was incompatible with those eyes With a smile: "...In other words, these people who you have turned into spirit ghosts are all dead ends?"

Since the body structure is different, forcibly turning into a spirit ghost will not live the same life as an ordinary spirit ghost. He remembered the woman he met at the gate of the city—maybe these Shaan people had never considered the idea of ​​transforming into a spirit ghost. Lifespan is an issue, because these "spirit ghosts" will definitely not live to die, they are forced to be enemies of their own compatriots, and they are destined to become victims of Sha'an's iron heel.

Continuing to be a spirit ghost is death, and trying to turn back into a human is even more death.

There was cold sweat on the breeder's forehead, and his body was so cold that he almost lost consciousness. He secretly raised his head and glanced at Dong Sheng's expression when he said these words in a frightened way, but he was staring at the pair of extremely deep eyes. There is no trace of possible kindness in the bottom of the eyes.

Like the ghost king who is sentenced to death by the underworld.

"There is one more question." Dong Sheng's mouth hooked up. This kind of superficial smile looked extremely creepy on the paper-like stiff mask, "How did you tame the spirit ghost?"

Li Yao translated the question, and the breeder was stunned immediately when he heard it. Several breeders next to him even showed a frightened expression, and one of them cursed again.

The breeder shuddered nervously, his eyeballs kept floating around, and his head shook so hard that he wanted to shake his brain flowers away.

"what did he say?"

"He said...he didn't know either."

Dong Sheng frowned.

——It doesn't look like you don't know.

Seeing that his face was sombre and silent, Li Yao was worried that he would keep fighting this man, and reminded him in a low voice: "Your Highness, it's almost time..."

Dong Sheng raised his eyes and glanced at him, nodded and said: "Well...Tie this back, and the fusion agent on the ground, put it in a bottle... and those leather tubes, pull one out... ...and these papers, no matter what is on them, I will carry them back alone.”

After Dong Sheng finished speaking, he blew his whistle, and the gray pigeon that had been flopping about in the room for a long time flew back to the wooden box in his hand and lay down obediently.

After he put away the gray pigeons, he got up and wanted to go out. Li Yao rushed up and said, "Your Highness, what about the rest?"

Dong Sheng waved his hand and said, "It's cut off."

Li Yao was surprised: "They were all beheaded?"

"Correct."

These Sha'an saw Gray Pigeon's true colors so closely that none of them could be left behind.And don't look at them all as helpless scholars - they killed more people than any soldier present.

Li Yao hesitated for a moment, but still gritted his teeth and replied: "I understand."

Dong Sheng walked out of the stone room and the stone path, came to the bottom of the hollow well and looked up, seeing the ray of skylight leaking in from the door on the top floor, thinking that it was almost time for Yunxiao and Ruoshui to do something.

The originally dead and silent warehouse was noisy one after another. A hole was punched in the wall on the ground floor, and behind it was a tunnel with no end in sight.

There is little fresh water in the north. Before the warehouse was built, the state government tried to imitate the drilling of the northwest canal. After all, this area is a slope facing the sea, but after the drilling, it was found that the well was shallow—but at this time the canal had already been opened. If the ground is to be broken again, the amount of work will be extremely large, and just in time for the shortage of state funds during that period, this fortification has been shelved.

Afterwards, the state capital changed hands, and the new officials felt that the wells and canals were rotten wood that could not be carved. When building the underground warehouse, they dug them up, but they didn't bother to fill the canals. one.

But the location of this fracture was clearly marked on the fortification plan that was built in the warehouse. Dong Sheng even took the ink pen to outline it, and brought the fortification plan with him.

But organizing the nearly 20 civilians to leave is an extremely huge project. After Dongsheng finished handling the matter in the breeding room, Shisheng has not completely evacuated the people.

These people have been imprisoned for such a long time, and they have already become almost insane. It is very difficult to manage, and the underground canal is not particularly spacious, so it is easy to cause problems-this is why Dong Sheng specifically explained that it should be placed layer by layer, to put it bluntly. If you are a little bit unkind, you would rather lack than abuse.

When Dong Sheng came out, it was still short of the people on the top three floors. In the past life, he had to emphasize the order repeatedly in advance. After confirming that these people were almost emotionally stable, he dared to send two people to bring this group of people from the underground. out of the ditch.

Each floor needs at least two soldiers to open the way for them. The manpower of the dead has been exhausted, so Dong Sheng also distributed the people on his side. A group of people worked hard for several hours before finally being The last group of people were driven into the underground ditch like sheep.

It was dawn on the ground at this time.
