Immersive Fast Wear: The Anti-Strike Manual of the Heartthrob

Liu Hao nodded slightly.

"It's okay. You didn't mean it. But, as you just heard, the princess is tired. Please arrange for us to enter the city as soon as possible."

"If we waste time and make the princess unhappy, I don't know who among you will be able to take responsibility."

She and Yuan Jing decided on this combo without discussing it with each other.

One of them played the good cop and the other played the bad cop, so that they could get into the city as quickly as possible and check what was going on in Yanzhou City.

The effect is really good.

When the captain of the guard heard that this might upset the princess, he immediately put on a flattering smile and signaled his men behind him to push open the city gate.

"I will open the door right now. Please go in first. I will take you to the post station."

It is not a wise move to offend a royal family member. He is not that stupid.

"Sir, the search is about..."

A soldier standing behind the guard captain tugged at the corner of his clothes and reminded him in a low voice.

"search?"

Liu Qiao heard these two words with keen ears and repeated them with some doubt.

On the other side, the captain of the guard was reminded by the soldier and immediately remembered the governor's instructions and looked at Liu Hao.

"Yes, search. You may not know, sir, that a few days ago, when he learned that you were coming, he personally led people to clean up the post station."

"Unexpectedly, as soon as we entered, a rogue citizen came forward and stabbed us with a dagger. So we started to block the city gates and search everywhere."

"Look, inside this carriage..."

The captain of the guard looked towards the carriage where Yuan Jing was resting, his expression somewhat embarrassed.

He looked at Liu Yao expectantly, hoping that this seemingly good-tempered adult would take the initiative to agree to their search.

In fact, both Liu Hao and the captain of the guard knew that there could be no fugitive in this carriage.

Liu Gao had been sitting in this carriage all the way, and she knew exactly how many people were inside.

The captain of the guard knew the situation in the city clearly.

After the flood, the city gates had been closed and no one was allowed to enter or leave. There was no way that man could have passed through the tightly closed gates, ran out of the city, and got into the princess's carriage.

Then why did he deliberately make things difficult and say that he had to check?

I just wanted to test the bottom line of Yuan Jing and Liu Yao's characters so that I can report to the adults and decide how to treat them.

If you are a little gentler, they might even take advantage of you and start a dyeing factory if you give them a little favor.

Liu Yao would not give him this opportunity. Her gentle smile faded and her expression became serious.

"You also want to check the place where the princess rests. Who gave you the courage?"

Liu Yao changed the subject and became his gentle self again.

"Wait, check if you want."

Seeing the joy on the guard captain's face, her expression turned into a half-smile.

"But you have to report to the princess yourself. I cannot bear the responsibility of disturbing the princess."

The captain of the guard immediately stopped where he was.

"This……"

He can't afford to offend the princess.

The captain of the guard thought for a moment, then quickly refuted his previous words with a smile:

"No, no, there is no way the princess is hiding a fugitive. There is no need to search for her."

The guard next to him whispered anxiously,

"My Lord..."

"What's your Excellency? If you knew that the people coming were the princess and Master Liu, you would definitely not let us search. Okay, stop talking."

The captain of the guard pretended to scold his men, then looked at Liu Hao in a flattering manner.

"Please."

Liu Yao was getting on the carriage, and the terrain was relatively high, so he could clearly see the captain of the guard give him a look while pretending to scold the soldier.

Then, the soldier looked at Liu Yao twice, and while pretending to open the city gate, he sneaked into the city first.

Obviously, this was someone who tipped off the enemy.

It is very likely that this soldier went to the Governor of Yanzhou to report the relevant information.

Liu Yao pretended not to see it. After getting on the carriage, he did not enter the carriage. Instead, he sat in the front room, looking at the scenery in the city.

Both sides of the road leading to the post station looked well-organized.

Although the house showed some signs of damage, it has been repaired and there are almost no signs of the flood.

On the road, people wearing patched clothes were queuing with bowls in their hands.

At the front of the team were two large buckets of rice porridge, which several soldiers in armor poured into the bowls of the people in the queue, spoonful by spoonful.

Liu Hao looked at it with a thoughtful expression.

The captain of the guard, who was riding a horse nearby, saw this and told her the story while praising the governor.

"This is the porridge that the master opened the treasury and hired a cook to prepare for those families whose homes were flooded and have no rice to cook."

"Twice a day, each person is limited to one bowl. Even if it's not enough, at least you won't go hungry."

"The warehouse was not full of food, so you opened a private storehouse and used your annual salary to buy a lot of rice. The people in the city can all thank you."

In order to prove that what he said was correct, the captain of the guard randomly pulled someone out of the team and asked:

"Let me ask you, what are you doing queuing here?"

The commoner was thin and small, with shifty eyes. He glanced at the captain of the guards, then at Liu Hao and the others, raised the bowl in his hand, and said flatteringly:

"Master, you are from outside, right? You don't know the situation in our Yanzhou City."

"More than a month ago, there were continuous heavy rains, which caused floods. My home is downstream of the river, and our house and fields were flooded."

"It is only because the governor provides us with two meals a day that we are doing well. The governor is really a good official who cares about the people. We are very grateful..."

When talking about the governor of Yanzhou City, he was full of praise and couldn't stop.

Liu Hao listened, nodding occasionally in agreement. Seeing that the man gradually relaxed because of her actions and returned to the team with peace of mind, she turned to look at the captain of the guard beside her.

"You displaced people here, are you in good spirits?"

Liu Hao smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes.

No matter how well the governor did, a person who had just experienced a flood or lost his home could not be so energetic.

Although the man brought by the captain of the guard was thin, he was not skinny. There was no flesh on his face, but his lips were very bright in color and he looked very healthy.

The clothes on his body were patched, as if they were old clothes that had been mended. But if you looked closely, you could see that the material of the clothes looked very smooth.

This piece of clothing is obviously cut from new clothes. It looks old only because it has been stored for a long time.

Looking at it this way, there are flaws everywhere.

The captain of the guard noticed that Liu Hao's tone was wrong and quickly explained:

"As ordinary people, we just want to have enough food and clothes. If we are not hungry, we will have something to think about, and we will be less anxious and in good spirits."
