The legitimate daughter becomes cannon fodder? Rebirth to overthrow the system's fatality

"finally reached!"

A group of people rode on horses and looked at the city gate ahead.

The towering city walls exuded an air of majesty, and people were coming in and out of the city gate.

The huge wooden door was inlaid with rows of copper nails, and the sunlight shone through it, casting a cold glow.

On both sides stood soldiers in armor, holding spears, but with nonchalant expressions.

At this time, a small leader of the city gate came out and said, "Stand up straight! Stand up straight! His Royal Highness Prince Chen is coming soon. How can you behave like this?"

Several soldiers stood up straighter, and one of them stepped forward with a smile on his face and presented the little leader with the money he had extorted from the people.

"Boss, look, today's harvest is not bad."

"Of course. The Prince of Chen is coming. Merchants from surrounding towns will come here to look for business opportunities. There must be more people..."

Cheng Jiuyuan and his group noticed that people entering and leaving the city had to pay silver.

Mu Jin dismounted from her horse and stopped a mother and daughter.

"Auntie, do I have to pay to enter the city?"

"You are from out of town, right?"

Hibiscus nodded.

"Of course you have to pay. It's ten cents per person to leave the city, and fifteen cents to enter the city. If you do business, it's even more expensive."

"Let's go into the city." Chu Heng stepped on his horse and walked forward, with Cheng Jiuyuan following closely behind.

"Who is so arrogant? Get off your horse!" The soldiers guarding the city pointed at Chu Heng and shouted.

Chu Heng and his companions dismounted as instructed.

They went their separate ways from the main force, and the soldiers from Prince Chen's Mansion were probably already in the city.

There were six of them in the group, and they were dressed simply.

A few people were leading their horses and preparing to enter the city when the leader of the city guards suddenly stopped them and said, "Wait!"

"I think you are acting suspiciously. These few days are very important. We can't let any suspicious people into the city."

Chu Heng's face showed no joy or anger. "Then what do you think?"

"I want to search you." The malicious gaze moved between Cheng Jiuyuan and the other two girls.

Although Cheng Jiuyuan's appearance could not be seen clearly because she was wearing a veil, her aura was so charming that people could not take their eyes off her.

What's more, the two maids behind her are both very pretty, so the mistress should be even prettier.

"Body search?" Chu Heng's voice was calm, but there was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

The young leader looked at his two men and said, "Go search those two. I'll take care of this."

The two soldiers walked towards Mu Jin and the other person happily.

The little leader slowly approached Cheng Jiuyuan and laughed obscenely.

Cheng Jiuyuan stood there, watching the little leader stretch out his hand...

"what!!!"

"what!!"

The first scream came from the little leader, and the following ones came from the people around him.

The leader's hands were chopped off at the wrists. He fell to the ground, wailing, with blood all over his body.

The two soldiers who were close to Mu Jin and the other man suddenly retreated with fear on their faces, looking at Chu Heng with caution.

This man used a folding fan to instantly cut off their leader's hands.

"Who are you?"

"Catch them! Catch them! Go and call my dad quickly, ahhhh!!!" The little leader on the ground kept wailing.

All the officers and soldiers at the city gate gathered around, pointing their spears at Chu Heng and his group.

Chu Heng calmly put away the folding fan that was not stained with blood.

The soldiers defending the city did not dare to act rashly. The stalemate lasted for almost an incense stick of time. Then an old man in his forties, dressed in official uniform, hurried over. When he saw the man wailing on the ground, he was horrified.

"Son! What's going on?!"

"Dad! My hand! My..." Seeing that his backer had arrived, the little leader was so excited that he touched the severed hand and fainted from the pain.

"My Lord County Magistrate, they were the ones who cut off the head's hand!"

The county magistrate looked up at Chu Heng and the others, his eyes red: "Catch them!"

The soldier shouted and was about to step forward when a prince's order hit the county magistrate in the face.

The large word "Chen" on it made the county magistrate open his eyes wide instantly.

"Chen, King Chen?"

Before Chu Heng opened his mouth, he heard a burst of orderly footsteps coming from the city.

It was a team of soldiers with a completely different aura. They all knelt down towards Chu Heng.

"Welcome Your Majesty!"

The people inside and outside the city gate and the soldiers guarding the city were all shocked.

This ordinary man with two servants in front of him is actually the King of Chen?

The soldiers defending the city knelt down tremblingly, and the county magistrate was already prostrating himself on the ground with a pale face.

"Get up and lock up these people first." Chu Heng threw the reins to Chi Zhang and walked forward.

"Please spare my life, Lord! I didn't know..."

Ignoring the pleas for mercy from the county magistrate and others, the group entered the city and found that Liping was worthy of being Liping, with only the city gate being acceptable.

As soon as you enter the city gate, there is a bumpy dirt road, and most of the houses on both sides are thatched houses.

Most of the people coming and going on the street were wearing coarse linen clothes full of patches, and there were many beggars on the roadside.

This is just on the street. I don’t know how it works in other places where we can’t see it.

"Your Highness, we live in the former City Lord's Mansion. It certainly cannot be compared with the Prince Chen's Mansion in the capital, but it is already the best mansion in Liping."

Chu Heng nodded.

After walking for nearly two quarters of an hour, they saw a large house standing in front of them.

Along the way, I saw too many thatched huts and mud houses, and this mansion can only be described as magnificent.

With grey tiles and white walls and surrounded by trees, it is indeed the best house in Liping.

There is a plaque hanging high in front of the mansion gate, with the three characters "Chenwang Mansion" written in a flamboyant style, and two rows of majestic soldiers outside the mansion, which add a lot of momentum to the mansion.

"Where are the emperor and the two elders of the Pei family?" Chu Heng asked as the group walked in.

"The emperor is in the east courtyard, and the Pei family members are placed in the north courtyard."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Jiuyuan couldn't wait to see her grandmother.

Chu Heng saw what she was thinking and ordered, "Take Miss Cheng to the North Courtyard."

He looked at Cheng Jiuyuan again and said, "I'll go see my father first, and then I'll find you in the North Courtyard."

Cheng Jiuyuan nodded and left with the servant.

After returning to Beijing, she hadn't seen her grandmother for a year and a half.

My grandmother was so old, but she was implicated and put under house arrest.

Now she has left her hometown and come to the hard-working Liping. She is really unfilial.
