Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe went to see the secret guard again. The secret guard had recovered as before and was fine.

"That Xiang'er," Yan Ruyu pondered, "three days have passed and one and a half have passed. I wonder if she will come to the house to see Changxu again."

Huo Changhe peeled an orange and gave it to her: "It doesn't matter if she doesn't come. She can't escape in the courtyard with the secret guards watching."

Yan Ruyu nodded: "I originally thought that letting Changxu go to the academy was to hide his identity and provide a safe place. Unexpectedly, someone could still go to the academy to find him. In other words, they knew that the one disguised as a secret guard was fake."

I wanted to hide Xiang Er, but after three days, the "root of love" came back. At that time, I would catch Xiang Er, start with her, ask her identity, and dig out the behind-the-scenes.

Unexpectedly, the real arrest of Huo Changxu happened concurrently.

"My lord, tell me, did we confuse them with the real and fake Changxu, or did they use a trick to deceive us?"

"If Xiang Er and Ninth Princess are really a team, then their move to attack the east and west is indeed a clever move."

"The Ninth Princess came to the city and mentioned the plague in the military camp. Xiang Er approached Chang Xu with evil intentions. After finding out that it was a lie, she still had a deep love for her, making us think that she had been fooled. When we let down our guard, another group of people had already arrived. Go to the academy to catch Changxu."

Huo Changhe's eyes were cold: "They didn't escape intact. We also have their people in our hands."

Yan Ruyu's eyes lit up: "Who is it?"

Huo Changhe motioned for her to eat the orange.

"Of course he is an important person, someone who can make the Ninth Princess compromise."

Yan Ruyu was slightly surprised, and the slightly sour juice burst out between her lips and teeth, making her close her eyes slightly.

After swallowing the orange, Yan Ruyu asked: "When did the prince arrange it?"

Huo Changhe wiped her lips: "When I learned that the ninth princess wanted to get married."

"so early?"

"I have been dealing with these countries for so long and know them well, especially the most powerful Dacheng. How could I not be at all defensive? As soon as the marriage was mentioned, I started to prepare. If they really wanted to make the marriage, I would keep it for future generations. Move, be prepared, after all..."

Huo Changhe paused slightly: "The Sixth Prince doesn't like this marriage, and the Ninth Princess doesn't like him either. We are destined to be enemies. It's better to seize the initiative early and have a backup plan at hand. There is no harm."

"If they don't sincerely get along, but have some agenda, then there's nothing to say."

Yan Ruyu couldn't help but sigh: "You and the Sixth Prince are worthy of being close friends. You understand each other and can deeply consider each other. Such emotions are rare in the world."

Huo Changhe smiled slightly: "I think so too, especially since he is from the royal family, so he cherishes it even more. Now that he is thousands of miles away, I can do my best."

Yan Ruyu nodded without comment.

She brought some medicinal materials from the Su Mansion. They were of good quality, but it would be a waste of space to store them. It would be better to give them to Dr. Cao.

Huo Changhe had nothing to do for the time being, so he accompanied her.

As I got on the carriage and was walking forward, suddenly there was a crowd of people on the road ahead.

The driver said from outside: "Your Majesty, Princess, the road is congested and there are too many people. Please change the road."

"Change the road."

"Yes."

The driver turned around and prepared to turn from the intersection ahead. Although the road there was not as spacious as this one, it had fewer people and was faster than this one.

Before reaching the intersection, Yan Ruyu heard people passing by outside talking in the car.

"It's so majestic. It looks like there are thousands of people."

"More than that, I heard it's three thousand."

"Three thousand? With so many people, can we let them enter our Youcheng? Those are enemy troops!"

"Hush! What kind of enemy troops? Don't talk nonsense. They are here to see off a bride."

"Changing into festive clothes and changing names will change the fact that they are enemies? Ha, I don't believe in adults anyway."

"Three thousand people, where will they live after entering the city? On the streets? Will they stand guard for us or wait for an opportunity to kill us? Anyway, I can't sleep."

"I don't know. It's not that we haven't arrived yet, but it's almost there. It's only a hundred miles away."

"I heard that the governor will be asked to come out of the city to greet him personally."

"What? Let the governor pick him up? Damn!"

"They are royal after all."

"What kind of family does the emperor belong to? When she comes to our place, she is a guest, and guests do as they please, don't you understand? When guests arrive, the host welcomes them, and they also get their own guests. I think the governor can just send a few of his officials there."

The people were talking a lot, and Huo Changhe knocked on the car wall: "Park by the roadside."

The carriage stopped at the roadside, and Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe were not in a hurry to get out of the car to listen to what was going on on the road.

No wonder there are so many people. This main road is the only way to the city gate. Many people want to go to the city gate to see the ceremonial style of Princess Dachengjiu.

"It came so fast," Huo Changhe said sarcastically. "When I was not trapped in the inn before, the distance between the ceremonial guard and the guard of honor was still far away. Now it is less than a hundred miles away."

As soon as he finished speaking, a pigeon flew over and landed on the carriage window.

Huo Changhe took the mailbox and unfolded the letter. As expected, it was from the secret guard.

"The news about the secret guards is that the honor guard is still eighty-five miles away. There are 3,100 people in total. The guard captain leading the team is...Tang Yibai."

Yan Ruyu noticed the change in Huo Changhe's tone and asked, "Who is Tang Yibai?"

"There are three famous generals in Dacheng, and Tang Yibai is one of them. He is a little different from the other two. The other two are from military families. Tang Yibai comes from Jianghu. I heard before that he resigned and refused to work. I thought he couldn't stand the court. Don’t be restrained and return to the world.”

"I didn't expect that I would be the guard captain this time," Huo Changhe laughed briefly, "No wonder..."

"What's the wonder?"

"No wonder the secret guards have been keeping an eye on this team before, but they have never found out who is responsible. They only said that it was an unknown general and thought it was the imperial army sent from the imperial city."

"Now it seems that it was Tang Yibai who deliberately used it as a cover-up. He knew that someone would be watching, so he hid his identity and found an unfamiliar little commander of the Imperial Army to take over."

Jianghu people must be very skilled, able to fight alone and lead troops. There was a strategy in what happened just now. Yan Ruyu had a rough picture of Tang Yibai in her mind.

While the two were talking, the four younger brothers also came back.

Apparently he heard about this and came back specially.

Yin Ding said outside the car window: "Your Majesty, Princess, would you like me to go to the city gate and have a look?"

"That's fine, take myna with you. I'll report back any news at any time."

"Yes."

The whistle quickly said: "Princess, the villain just found out the information about Deputy Governor Su's outer room and found out her residence."

Yan Ruyu lifted the curtain and said with a smile, "Tell me."

"The villain has been drawn and asked the princess to take a look." Feng Shao handed over a sketch. "The princess asked a few of us to play. Brother Yin Ding understood the princess's instructions. We checked while playing, but we haven't detailed it yet. Ask, fearing to scare a snake."

Yan Ruyu accepted the sketch and said, "Reward it."

The silver ingot came back, and his little eyes shone: "Princess, can we eat that kind of curved noodles?"

Yan Ruyu: "??"

Beibei then said: "The one with the bowl."

Quan Dao added, "Beautiful bowl."

Only then did Yan Ruyu realize that they were referring to barreled instant noodles.

"Three barrels per person!"

"Thank you, Princess!"

The four of them blended into the crowd again and went to the city gate.
