Become a founding empress in ancient times with the system

"So who are you going to let be the person behind this puppet?" Sheng Changan didn't intend to think too much about this topic. She just wanted to know that Shen Huaizhi would be obedient.

No one is perfect, let alone after experiencing such a thing. If it were her, she would have turned evil.

"I am willing to share your worries, sir," Zhao Lu stood up and bowed.

"No problem, just tell me if you need my cooperation in the next action," Sheng Changan said without hesitation.

Her goal was to save those women. The process was not important, the result was important, so she didn't care whether Zhao Lu was sincere or not, or whether he would use this to establish himself as king.

"Thank you, sir. I would like to borrow Mr. Shen's help." Zhao Lu directly proposed the conditions. He knew that the lord in front of him would definitely not believe him just by saying this.

But he will use his actions to prove that her choice is not wrong, and his will not be wrong either.

Shen Huaizhi was somewhat reluctant. His safety could not be guaranteed if he left the master, and how could the people under his command protect the master?

But before he could refuse, Sheng Changan had already agreed. The matter was a foregone conclusion, and no matter how unwilling he was, he would not resist her orders.

Zhao Lu breathed a sigh of relief. Although he knew how to read people's minds, it was still this adult who could make Shen Huaizhi obey his arrangements. At least for now, it seemed that Master Shen was still very obedient to what Sheng Changan said.

"Now that the matter has been settled, let's go back and look forward to good news from County Magistrate Zhao."

"I will definitely live up to your expectations," Zhao Lu said firmly.

Sheng Changan didn't say anything more. In her eyes, actions are more important than words. Only after seeing the actual results would she make another assessment of County Magistrate Zhao.

So far, she has a very good impression of County Magistrate Zhao.

"What's wrong?" Sheng Changan raised his eyebrows. Shen Huaizhi was particularly silent as soon as he came back, with no expression on his face.

"Have you ever thought about yourself, sir? County Magistrate Wu and the people of Guangping County are waiting for you, but you always don't care about your own safety," Shen Huaizhi said bluntly.

"Don't worry, I only have one life. How could I not care? However, one cannot be afraid of this or that. How can one achieve great things if one is afraid of death?"

"And I think Zhao Lu might be a talented person. If he can really succeed, it will save us a lot of trouble." There is enough food, and now we can do other things.

Shen Huaizhi was silent. It was obvious that these words could not convince him.

Sheng Changan felt a little headache and changed his approach. "If you go, you can monitor him better. Besides, this is not the first time and it won't be the last."

Sheng Changan looked up at Shen Huaizhi. She had been planning to walk around, and with the growth map, it was even more impossible for her to stay in one place.

Shen Huaizhi sighed helplessly, "Sir, why don't you start practicing martial arts when you go back?" This way, everyone can feel more at ease when traveling outside. So far, no one has been able to change her mind.

The possibility of persuading her by myself was even smaller, so I simply changed my approach.

Sheng Changan smiled and said, "That's what I was thinking. When Mr. Shen comes back, I'll ask him to teach me."

"He should be very willing." No wonder her grandfather admired her so much. He once said that a king should not have weaknesses, and it is not advisable to rely solely on guards for protection.

But no one listened to him. Those people just thought that he had bad intentions. He already had military power, but he still wanted to be the Grand Tutor.

Sheng Changan blinked sleepily. It was already three or four in the morning, and she was really sleepy. "Let's do this for now! Don't worry, I won't go out."

It's already difficult mode now. If she dies, it will become hell mode. She naturally won't commit suicide casually.

Shen Huaizhi did not show up for several days, and instead General Gao died in public.

The Xianbei people had been here for so many days without killing anyone, so gradually some of them started to come out, and the business of the inn got a little better.

Sheng Changan was sitting at a table in the corner. There were guests at one or two other tables, all of whom were talking in what they thought were quiet voices.

"I heard that they couldn't find him, and someone kicked General Gao in the chest. As soon as he left the county magistrate's mansion, he vomited blood and fell to the ground."

"I heard that too. They said they called a lot of doctors."

Someone curled his lips and said, "It's also cowardly."

"Don't talk nonsense," the man said, looking around and making sure that no one was paying attention to him.

After a while, someone spoke up, "After this, I wonder if there will be any changes in the court."

When a general of a country was insulted like this, it was not only a slap in the face of Gao Meng, but also a slap in the face of Jing Chao, and of all of them.

But at this moment they didn't speak. Everyone realized one problem. They were almost abandoned. Would the court stand up for them?

Sheng Chang'an put on a sarcastic smile. Maybe the imperial court was deceiving itself. After all, it was not a big deal. Unless one day the Xianbei directly invaded the capital, maybe they would panic!

But perhaps Zhao Lu was behind this, and Gao Meng would be bedridden from now on, not dying but also unable to get up. After all, a living Gao Meng is better than a dead Gao Meng.

The next few days were just as Sheng Changan had expected. Every day, people reported that Gao Meng was dying, but he managed to survive day after day.

The Xianbei people were becoming increasingly impatient. They had been here for nearly ten days. They knew the person was there, but they just couldn't find him. He was already thinking about simply ignoring the king's orders.

The Han people have a saying that goes, "A general is not always subject to military orders when he is away from the enemy." He thinks this saying makes a lot of sense.

The cry of an eagle passed through the sky, and Sheng Chang'an's eyes were filled with an excited smile. It seemed that Li Hui's progress was relatively smooth.

These people are about to leave Xianbei. I hope Zhao Lu can move faster, as she doesn’t have much time left here.
