On her wedding night, she went into exile with her pharmacy arsenal

Yan Ruyu silently gave a thumbs up to Governor Cao in her heart.

Be reasonable, well-reasoned and polite, and simply refuse.

Tang Yibai smiled, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and the smile in his eyes faded.

"What does Governor Cao mean? I don't understand."

He had a strong aura at this moment. He had been on the battlefield, his hands were stained with blood, and people had killed people on his sword. Even without making a sound, he was full of intimidation and oppression.

Even though Governor Cao had been in officialdom for many years, he was still a civil servant, and he was still a little overwhelmed when facing him.

But Governor Cao thought about the people of Youcheng behind him, so he could not retreat even a single step.

"Commander, haven't I made it clear enough? What I mean is," he said in a breath, "Her Highness the Princess can be accompanied by servants, but no more than twenty people. The commander himself and three of his followers can enter the city."

"Others, including the ceremonial guards, are not allowed to enter the city!"

This time it was said very clearly, without any ambiguity.

Tang Yibai narrowed his eyes and stared at Governor Cao: "Then according to what you said, where should my men rest?"

"Is this how the great Li Chao treats guests?"

Governor Cao was also willing to give it his all and live alone. The tension and fear he had just felt disappeared.

He glanced at the soldiers and said, "This is what the commander should worry about. They are your subordinates, not mine. As for the lobbyists, I believe I will take good care of Her Royal Highness the Princess and the commander. The way of hospitality in this dynasty also includes a saying that the guest should follow the host's wishes."

Yan Ruyu nodded and clapped her hands lightly: "Well said."

Someone in the crowd immediately echoed: "That's right!"

"Your Excellency the Governor said it well."

There was endless praise and applause.

Governor Cao straightened his back instantly, and his confidence returned.

Tang Yibai chuckled and turned his head to look at the soldiers behind him: "Cao Governor said that you are not allowed to enter the city. What should we do now?"

His men said nothing, but walked slowly forward, their horses' hooves stamping the ground and their horses snorting. The soldiers looked solemn and murderous.

Governor Cao felt a tightness in his heart, but the more so, the more he couldn't let these people enter the city.

What a joke! If we let them in, wouldn’t that be like inviting a wolf into the house?

But Governor Cao also knew that he was only followed by constables, yamen runners, and a dozen or so soldiers.

How can we compete with these people?

He thought to himself that he had to find an opportunity to discuss the matter with Prince Zhennan.

Just at this moment, he felt the ground shaking a little, and Tang Yibai turned around suddenly.

Governor Cao also raised his head and looked into the distance.

The Dacheng Guard of Honor was stretched out horizontally, so the vision was a bit obstructed, but the team that was coming was even longer than them.

Not only in the front, but also on both sides, there was dust and snow flying, the sound of horses' hooves trampling the ground, and flags fluttering, covering the sky and the sun.

Governor Cao's heart was pounding and he clenched his hands unconsciously.

The common people were also stunned. Huo Changhe said in the crowd: "Our city defense troops are here!"

This sound reminded everyone and they woke up from their dream.

Suddenly, cheers broke out.

Governor Cao was also very excited. He tried to appear calm on the surface, but his blood was boiling.

In the blink of an eye, three teams of people approached and formed a triangle, surrounding the Dacheng ceremonial guard in the middle.

The leader, Li Mingcheng, was wearing a thin armor, riding a white horse, with a sword slung over his waist, and walking slowly forward holding the reins.

"Governor Cao," he saluted from his horse, "I am wearing armor, so I cannot be polite."

Governor Cao was deeply moved. He knew, of course, that Li Mingcheng did not dismount to salute not only because he was wearing armor, but also because Li Mingcheng's leg injury had not healed yet.

Even so, Li Mingcheng came in person and appeared calm on the surface.

This is to cheer him up.

"Envoy Li, you are welcome. Where are you from?"

Li Mingcheng smiled faintly, "I was bored, so I led the troops on a training exercise. I heard that the ninth princess of Dacheng was coming, so I thought I'd take a look around to make sure some blind thief didn't startle the princess. Disturbing the princess is a minor matter, but if it ruins the prestige of Dacheng, it will be a big deal."

Yan Ruyu curled her lips slightly. She didn’t notice it at other times, but when it came to the critical moment, each of these officials was very helpful.

It seems that the prince has a good eye for people, and those who stay are all good.

She tilted her head to look at Huo Changhe. Even through the mask, Huo Changhe could sense the smile on her face. He leaned over to her ear and whispered, "What's wrong?"

Yan Ruyu praised him generously: "Your Highness has a very good eye, and the people he chooses are very reliable."

Huo Changhe held her hand gently, feeling happy.

Li Mingcheng held the horsewhip in his hand and tapped his palm lightly. He turned his head and seemed to have just seen Tang Yibai and the Ninth Princess: "Who are these people..."

"This is the Ninth Princess of Dacheng, and this is Commander Tang Yibai, who is the highest commander of the wedding procession."

Li Mingcheng raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Tang Yibai for a few seconds.

He had never seen him on the battlefield, but he had heard of Tang Yibai's reputation. If the messenger had not informed him on the orders of Huo Changhe, he would probably have been unable to hide his surprise.

"Your Highness, Commander Tang, please be tolerant. I am a rough man who only knows how to march and fight. I just arrived nearby and saw some troops there, so I rushed here. I thought someone wanted to attack Youcheng, but I didn't expect..."

He laughed out loud: "It's all a misunderstanding."

"Commander Tang, I have heard of your great reputation. It is really well-known. I am really happy to meet you. I wonder if you are willing to bring your men and horses with me back to the camp for resettlement?"

Tang Yibai looked at Li Mingcheng. He had never heard of this person. Youcheng was still some distance away from Shencheng. They mostly dealt with Shencheng. He only knew that Shen Huaixin, the city protector of Youcheng, became this person with the surname Li?

Tang Yibai laughed briefly, "Return to the camp? Is Envoy Li joking? In my Dacheng, no one is allowed to enter the military camp without a military order. Why is it so casual here?"

Li Mingcheng said calmly, "Of course it's not possible at normal times. But since we heard you were coming, we made preparations early and cleared out an open space for you to camp. Don't worry, since I dare to ask you to come in, I can guarantee that no one can take away any military information."

Tang Yibai stared at him for a moment: "Li Cheng is so arrogant. Even if Shen Huaixin and the King of Zhennan were here, they wouldn't dare to speak like that."

Li Mingcheng laughed: "Shen Chengshi doesn't know, but the King of Zhennan will definitely not tell."

"It's not that the prince doesn't dare to speak, it's that he doesn't want to speak. The prince is better at speaking directly with a sword."

Tang Yibai was a little angry. At this time, the maid beside the Ninth Princess said, "Go to your military camp? Has the plague in your camp been resolved?"

"Let us go, are you trying to infect us and kill us?"

The word "plague" is enough to make many people change color.

The people in the city were unaware of the incident in the military camp, and when they suddenly heard about it, they were inevitably frightened.

"Plague? What plague?"

"I haven't heard of it."

"Oh my God, what should we do if there is a plague?"

Fear spreads faster and spreads like a tide in an instant.
