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

The sounds made Governor Cao excited.

As a civil servant, he had never had an experience like today.

Suddenly I felt that I had found the meaning of being an official.

Pleading for the people, protecting the citizens of a city, sharing honor and disgrace with them, and advancing and retreating together with them, is there any better and more profound interpretation than this?

Governor Cao straightened his back and said to the Ninth Princess and Tang Yibai: "Your Highness, Commander, you two have seen that the people's will is in favor of your guard of honor, and you cannot enter the city."

Tang Yibai said nonchalantly, "Why does Governor Cao, the head of a city, have to look at other people's faces before making a decision?"

Governor Cao looked back at the people of Youcheng and smiled calmly: "The commander is absolutely right!"

"I can ignore other people's faces, such as high-ranking officials and royal families of other countries, or even the monarchs of other countries! But I cannot ignore the faces of the people of Youcheng. They are my confidence and my backbone!"

"I will live for them if I live, and I will die for them if I die. I will never do anything they don't agree with."

"I don't know how Dacheng has achieved his goal, nor do I want to know. But in our Li Dynasty, the people are our top priority!"

There was silence, followed by thunderous applause.

"Well said, sir!"

"My lord is mighty!"

"Cao, you are a hero!"

Li Mingcheng clapped his hands and said, "Governor Cao, I will listen to you from now on."

Yan Ruyu clapped her hands and said to Huo Changhe, "What Governor Cao said is right. He was really suppressed before and had no room to develop. With the death of Shen Huaixin, Governor Cao is alive again."

"Provincial Governor Cao was the top scorer in the imperial examination. The questions for the palace examination were set by the late emperor himself. He is very capable."

Yan Ruyu was slightly surprised: "Let me look at you with new eyes."

Li Mingcheng said, "Commander, either have your men follow me to the military camp, or camp outside the city. Don't worry, I will send people to deliver military rations no matter where you are."

"I won't say anything else, but I'll take care of all the food and fodder for you and your horses for the day you're here."

Tang Yibai narrowed his eyes slightly. It was impossible to go to the military camp and be closely watched by the city guards.

Outside the city... block the city gate, and if necessary, call people into the city in batches. It is not impossible.

Thinking of this, Tang Yibai bowed to the Ninth Princess and said, "I think the guard of honor should be as close to Your Highness as possible. Why not place them outside the city? What do you think?"

The Ninth Princess looked at him and nodded, "Okay."

She thought for a moment and said to Governor Cao, "Since my guard of honor is outside the city, I will follow them outside the city."

Governor Cao was stunned. This proposal was unexpected.

Tang Yibai took over the conversation: "Your Highness, it's hard to set up camp. It's still cold now, so your health is the most important thing. Outside the city, the governor will take good care of you, right?"

Governor Cao always felt that he was setting a trap, but he still answered.

"Yes, the inn has been prepared and Your Highness has stayed there for a few days. If there is anything that does not suit your taste, please let me know and I will do my best to satisfy you."

The Ninth Princess glanced at Tang Yibai and nodded slowly: "Okay, I will live in the inn."

Tang Yibai smiled and nodded: "I will stay with Your Highness at the post house."

He bowed to Governor Cao and said, "Please, Governor, take good care of me."

"Easy to say."

Governor Cao turned around and shouted to the people at the city gate: "Everyone, make way for the princess' carriage to pass and set off for the posthouse!"

Tang Yibai looked at the cavalrymen who had come before him and said, "Pass the order down. Set up camp on the spot. Do not disturb the people. Follow the rules."

He emphasized the last word, and the cavalry saluted: "Yes! I will follow the commander's orders!"

With one order, everything is settled.

The ninth princess returned to the carriage with her maid.

Beibei whispered to Yinding: "This maid is so irritating!"

Feng Shao snorted, "I have never seen such an ignorant servant."

Quan Dao nodded repeatedly: "That's right."

Silver Ingot Little Fatty was twisting something in his hand, his eyes narrowed: "Then teach her a lesson."

After saying that, he flicked his fingers and the thing between his fingers flew out.

The maid was standing in front of the carriage, preparing to get in. A breeze blew, blowing the hair on her cheek.

A few small raindrops fell on the side of her neck, but she didn't notice it at all.

Yinding and the others looked at each other and smiled.

Governor Cao's carriage was in front, the Ninth Princess' carriage was behind, and Tang Yibai rode a horse beside her carriage.

Back to the city.

Along the way, the people were laughing and talking happily, and were talking about what had just happened with great interest.

The majesty of the city defense army, the unity of the people, and of course the righteous and stern words of Governor Cao, are what are most talked about.

Governor Cao was listening in the carriage, his heart was filled with excitement, and he drank half a cup of tea in one breath.

If there wasn't someone outside, he would have laughed out loud with his hands on his hips!

Hold it in, wait until you get back and see your wife before smiling, and make her happy with you.

I need to have a few drinks tonight.

He felt very happy, and Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe were also very happy following him outside.

Yan Ruyu was happy that she did not choose the wrong person. Now Youcheng would be blessed to have Cao as the governor.

"I think apart from high school, Governor Cao's most glorious and happiest moment is today," Huo Changhe said with joy in his tone, "We will definitely celebrate tonight."

"Should we go?"

Yan Ruyu smiled and said, "Let's not go. He must be thinking about having fun with his wife and daughter. If we go, we will inevitably feel restrained. However, we can send some gifts."

"That makes sense," Huo Changhe nodded, "Yu'er is really thoughtful."

Watching the Ninth Princess get off the carriage and enter the posthouse, the people gradually dispersed, and Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe also returned home to prepare gifts.

Inside the post house.

Tang Yibai stood in the outer room, talking to the Ninth Princess through the pearl beads.

"I shouldn't have suggested doing it outside the city." He said calmly.

The Ninth Princess lowered her eyes and said, "I feel that Lord Tang has worked hard all the way, so it would be better for him to be at ease in his own camp. Besides, I..."

"What you think is not important. What's important is to follow my arrangements and act according to the plan. You don't think this is really an ordinary marriage, do you?"

The Ninth Princess remained silent, and Tang Yibai's tone became even colder: "I hope the princess will not act on her own anymore. What I say is what it is."

"I will also stay here, Youcheng," Tang Yibai seemed to smile, "If it makes me unhappy, I don't mind letting it know how powerful I am."

After Tang Yibai finished speaking, he lifted the bead curtain and came in. The bead curtains swayed and collided with each other, making noises.

The Ninth Princess' heart trembled and her whole body tensed up.

Tang Yibai ignored her reaction, and without any courtesy or respect, he stretched out his hand and said, "Princess's order, give it to me."

The Ninth Princess pursed her lips and turned to look at the maid. All her things were kept by the maid.

But when she turned to look at the maid, her eyes slightly opened and her tone was surprised: "You..."
