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

Upon learning that the envoys were coming, Chu Heng sent Emperor Zhaolie and Mu Zhuo away in advance.

If Chu Ze knew that Mu Zhuo was in Liping, Concubine Chun and Chu Wan would have a hard time.

A few days later, the envoy finally arrived.

The person who came was Shangguan He, Shangguan Huai’s nephew.

As soon as his carriage stopped, Chi Zhang came forward and waited.

Shangguan He got off the carriage and looked around: "Where is the Prince of Chen?"

Chi Zhang's eyes turned slightly cold. How could a mere envoy actually want His Highness to come and greet him in person?

"Your Highness has important matters to attend to and cannot leave, so I have specially ordered your subordinates to wait for you here, Lord Shangguan."

Shangguan He frowned and looked at the Liping city gate critically.

"This is a remote place. I didn't want to come here, but I have the Emperor's order."

Seeing Chi Zhang's tense expression, Shan Lan hurried forward and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, sir. The inn has prepared good wine and delicious food. Please come in, sir!"

Shangguan He walked in and said, "If you serve me well, I will go back to Beijing and say a few good words to the emperor, and I will definitely do you good things for Liping."

"Yes Yes Yes……"

Shanlan took Shangguan He inside and saw the pavilion of "Didi Donkey Ride".

Shangguan He looked puzzled: "What is that?"

“That’s where the bus is fixed.”

Shangguan He stood and watched for a while and found it interesting.

"Let's take this donkey cart, too."

Chi Zhang arranged for a donkey cart to come over.

"Sir Shangguan, please."

Shangguan He looked at the unique donkey cart with curiosity, and then got on.

Sitting on the donkey cart and looking at everything along the way, Shangguan He had a look of disdain on his face but was shocked in his heart.

Is this really the poorest Liping in Dongling?

How could it be even more outrageous than the rumors?

Donkey carts moved slowly along the wide road, with shops lining both sides of the street.

The shops were filled with exquisite silks and gorgeous porcelains, and the people walking around were dressed in clean and tidy clothes. Although not as luxurious as the silks and satins in the capital, they were decent and generous.

Children were laughing and playing, holding snacks such as candy figurines in their hands, while women were carrying baskets and picking fresh fruits and vegetables.

Shangguan He was secretly amazed that Liping looked so prosperous and lively.

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard melodious music. It turned out that a street performer was performing juggling, attracting a crowd of onlookers.

An old man was playing chess on the street, and people gathered around to watch the game. Some were talking, some were smiling, and it was a peaceful scene.

Everything before him overturned his imagination. Although it was not as prosperous as the capital, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.

The donkey cart stopped outside the post house, and the group got off and entered the post house.

Looking at the delicious food and wine on the table, Shangguan He began to find fault: "I have been in Liping for so long, why hasn't the Prince of Chen shown up yet?"

"Your Majesty understands that you are tired from the journey. You should rest well in the inn today and go to the county government office to pay your respects to Your Majesty tomorrow."

You're dreaming if you want the prince to come and see you in person!

"Why are there only these dishes? The people serving here are all servants, but no women?"

"If these dishes don't suit your taste, you can ask the cook to make something else. As for the maids... we don't have maids in the Liping Inn."

Then Shangguan He made some more criticisms, and Shanlan responded politely.

After hitting a few soft nails, Shangguan He waved his hand impatiently: "You guys go down."

Whenever he went to other places as an envoy, everyone praised him and gave him gold, silver and beautiful women as gifts.

Come to Liping, is this all?

He accepted that Liping was poor, but it turned out that Liping had developed very well, even better than the rumors said!

The Prince of Chen is indeed not to be underestimated. I will go to the county government office tomorrow to meet this Prince of Chen.

After leaving the posthouse, Chi Zhang and his companion arrived at the county government office.

He repeated all of Shangguan He's performance today.

"Why did King Rui send such a person to Liping?" County Magistrate Duan asked puzzledly.

"Either Shangguan He is really an idiot, and Prince Rui sent him here just to make him anger Your Highness, so that Prince Rui would have a reason to cause trouble for Your Highness. Or Shangguan He is pretending to be an idiot, but he is actually very smart, and he wants us to let down our guard." Cheng Jiuyuan analyzed.

Chu Heng nodded and looked at Chi Zhang and the others: "In the past few days, you will be served with good food and drink, but if he makes any unreasonable requests, you don't have to be polite."

"But Your Highness, if we anger him, he will say something nonsense when he returns to the capital, which will be disadvantageous to us..."

"This person is probably a discarded pawn. If Chu Ze really wants to attack Li Ping, he will find an excuse even without this person. If he doesn't plan to attack, he won't do anything even if this person tells him all sorts of things. As long as he doesn't discover Li Ping's true secret, Chu Ze won't do anything in the short term."

"I received news from the capital. Chu Ze wants to make achievements, so he is also building roads and bridges. If he wants to go to war, he doesn't have much food and grass to move. He can't mobilize Yancheng either."

Cheng Jiuyuan nodded. She also received the news. She was not wrong about Jiang Xiubai. He had already taken control of the Xuanjia Army.

"Don't worry about Shangguan He. Just save his face and treat him like a toy."
