Governor Cao rolled his eyes secretly, thinking that Princess Dacheng looked really not very smart, and even this maid was fierce and stupid, with no brains at all.

The main purpose now is to get people out of the city, and I am too lazy to talk nonsense and create unnecessary trouble.

So, he did not respond to the maid's words, but turned sideways and said, "Your Highness, please."

The Ninth Princess raised her chin and walked out proudly. The maid also glanced at the governor and followed her.

"I told you not to go against the princess, but you didn't listen. Now that the army has arrived, let's see what you can be proud of!" The maid said loudly and angrily, "The guard who dared to attack me last time, bring him here ”

Governor Cao didn't answer. As soon as he left the inn and took a look outside, he saw the astonished and inexplicable faces of the Ninth Princess' master and servant, and he felt happy.

Should!

Let you go crazy.

You were so arrogant just now, now you feel stupid, right?

The maid asked: "Where is the army?"

Governor Cao was even more surprised than she was: "What army?"

The Ninth Princess said: "They are the honor guard of this palace."

"Your Highness's guard of honor has not arrived yet. I just heard that they are almost outside the city. I came to invite Your Highness to go outside the city together."

The Ninth Princess did not answer, and the maid said: "What a joke. The princess is their master. I have never heard of a master being asked to greet a slave."

Governor Cao thought for a moment and said, "That does make sense. I won't go then."

He changed the topic and said: "I will immediately order the city gate guards to station outside the city when the time comes. Anyway, His Highness has arrived. To me, they are nothing."

The Ninth Princess asked, "Does Governor Cao really mean what he said?"

Governor Cao was even more surprised: "How dare I joke with the princess? However, there is one thing. They have not seen your highness, so they may not believe that your highness is well. They asked your highness to write a handwritten letter, and I sent someone to send it to the chief of the honor guard. Your highness thought that how?"

The maid said angrily: "Cao, what do you want to do? Want to detain the princess alone?"

Governor Cao lowered his face and looked at the maid with squinted eyes: "It seems that the lesson is too light. Your Highness, this slave, can't be disciplined well. She will suffer a big loss in the future."

The maid was about to say something, but the Ninth Princess said, "Governor Cao, I am not good at managing my subordinates, please bear with me. However, I think the most urgent thing is to let the ceremonial guard enter the city."

Governor Cao snorted coldly and withdrew his gaze: "Your Highness, I still need to discuss this matter with you. The people of Youcheng have suffered from the war. It is a good thing for the princess to come and get married. It can bring peace between the two countries, which is what everyone expects, but... …”

He paused for a moment and said, "Those guards are different. They are soldiers anyway. If I open the city gates and let them in directly, I can't afford it. The people in the city will be in a panic. If they are uneasy, my life will be in danger too."

The Ninth Princess pondered for a moment: "What do you think, sir?"

"I don't have any great ideas, but I think that the people should see His Highness, Dacheng's sincerity and the princess's kindness. What do you think?"

Inside the carriage.

Yan Ruyu pinched the round orange and slowly rolled it over the small stove.

"Does the prince think that Governor Cao can take Princess Dacheng outside the city gate?"

"Yes." Huo Changhe glanced outside the car and spoke firmly, "Cao Cao is the governor of Youcheng and the lord of the city. He is not in vain. He was suppressed by the Shen family before. Although he suffered a little injustice, the Shen family has Even with the military power, he couldn't do anything to him, and he didn't completely defeat him, which is enough to prove his ability. "

"What's more, now he is full of ambition and wants to do something big. This time he is dealing with people from Dacheng. This is an excellent and rare opportunity, and he will definitely hold on to it."

Yan Ruyu smiled and held the hot orange in her hand: "I think so too. He can do it."

"Where does Yu'er's confidence come from?" Huo Changhe was curious.

"Because he treats his wife well," Yan Ruyu said, "A man who treats his wife well can't be too bad."

Huo Changhe laughed dumbly.

"That's right."

Yan Ruyu put the orange in her warm sleeves, added a small hand warmer, and put on the mask.

"Come on, my Lord, let's go and see what's going on."

There were more and more people outside, and the carriage couldn't move. It was better to walk faster so that I could listen to the discussions in the crowd.

The two got out of the car wearing masks and blended into the crowd.

Once you enter the crowd, everyone becomes a know-it-all, and each one is more knowledgeable than the other.

"Have you heard? This time Dacheng's honor guard is very powerful. They are all elites selected by Emperor Dacheng."

"That's for sure. Princess Ninth is his beloved daughter. Of course, she needs powerful soldiers to escort her."

"That's superficial, isn't it? Do you really think he is marrying off his daughter?"

"If the ceremonial guard enters the city, they are elite troops. If they use swords and guns, what will happen to our city?"

"If you say so..."

"Don't be afraid," someone interrupted, "We have the city defense army, which is more in number than them. Besides, there are tens of thousands of troops stationed in Shencheng."

"That being said, can distant water put out a nearby fire? I usually think that Shencheng is not far away, but if I really want to take action, people are chopping melons and vegetables in the city. Shencheng will receive the news and order troops to set off. us……"

"What do you mean by chopping melons and vegetables? Are we melons or vegetables? How can you destroy your own morale?"

"I'm telling the truth. Dacheng often uses a scimitar, so..."

"No way. I think the governor will definitely think of what we can think of and will not let them enter the city."

"But it's against the rules not to enter the city. I think they are deliberately making things difficult for us."

"Don't be afraid, we also have King Zhennan in our city. The prince is not a vegetarian."

"That's right, that's right! Prince Zhennan is Dacheng's nemesis."

Yan Ruyu listened as she walked, and when she heard them mention Huo Changhe at the end, her eyebrows were filled with smiles.

Huo Changhe walked beside her, never leaving her side, and could feel her smile.

Huo Changhe himself couldn't help laughing, not because of the people's praise, but because Yan Ruyu was happy. Everyone had full confidence in him and was not too flustered because of the arrival of Dacheng's people.

It is a good thing if people’s hearts are not disturbed.

As he was walking forward, someone behind him struck a gong and shouted, "Pedestrians, make way! The governor is going to the city gate!"

The yamen officer in front kept knocking as he walked: "Everyone, make way, make way!"

The people dispersed on both sides, leaving a path in the middle.

Someone brave enough shouted at the carriage, "Lord Cao, will you allow the guard of honor to enter the city?"

Governor Cao lifted the carriage curtain and asked with a smile, "What do you think?"

The people continued: "They have swords and guns, and they bullied us before. They shouldn't..."

Before he finished speaking, the maid in the carriage behind raised the curtain and yelled angrily: "Shut up, you are such a coward! A few honor guards scared your courage?"

The people turned their heads to look, all with angry looks on their faces.

Governor Cao smiled and said: "Don't be anxious, everyone. I have my own considerations. Behind me is Princess Dacheng. The princess has stayed in the city for a few days and is very well-behaved. I think she will not disappoint everyone later."

"Let's wait and see!"
