A few people saw a dense crowd of soldiers standing outside the city gate from a distance. The two leaders were wearing official uniforms. One was wearing a crimson official robe, standing at the front, and the other was wearing a green robe, standing behind.

Ying Youchu raised his eyebrows slightly and said jokingly, "Oh, Magistrate Peng is here too, it's really lively now."

He said how could the county magistrate alone accomplish such a big move? It turned out that the prefect was also involved.

But the county magistrate’s backing is the prefect, so who is the prefect’s backing?

Outside the high wall of the city gate, a small patch of black appeared on the horizon. Accompanied by the sound of horse hooves, this patch of black gradually expanded.

The army is coming.

Ying Chuyuan looked into the distance, his carriage full of luggage was about to arrive, and he almost burst into tears thinking that it was all luggage that his husband had personally prepared for him.

He didn't even have soap. God knows how he lived these days.

The county magistrate and the prefect were equally excited. However, when they saw that only soldiers were approaching the city and Ji Jingli and others were not seen, the smiles on their faces froze for a moment. The county magistrate suddenly panicked and asked hurriedly,

"Why don't you see His Highness Prince Ning and General Ye?"

Ji Jingli's bodyguard Shu Feng jumped off his horse, knelt down on one knee behind the county magistrate and the prefect with nimble and silky movements, and said with great energy, "Shufeng sees you, Your Highness."

Magistrate Peng stretched out his hands to help Shufeng up, wanting to say that he was from His Highness Prince Ning and did not need to pay such a courtesy, but he heard Shufeng reply so sonorously and forcefully.

He retracted his hand in embarrassment and paused, huh?

His Highness Prince Ning?

Where?

"Please get up. It's been a hard journey." Ji Jingli said softly.

Magistrate Peng and the county magistrate turned around in horror, only to see Ji Jingli and others standing not far behind them, looking at them quietly with a faint smile on their faces.

"His Royal Highness Prince Ning is well." Magistrate Peng reacted immediately, lowered his head and raised his hands in salute, his lowered head and eyes moving shrewdly.

The dumbfounded county magistrate on the side was so frightened that he was covered in cold sweat. He came back in panic when he heard Magistrate Peng's voice. He then stuttered and saluted, trying hard to maintain a stiff smile on his face, but he was already in a turmoil in his heart.

"Why didn't His Highness inform his subordinates when he arrived in Pingyang County in advance? I'll prepare some wine for His Highness and the young general."

Magistrate Peng asked tentatively, "I wonder when Your Highness will arrive in Pingyang County?"

Ji Jingli looked at him calmly, without any emotion in her eyes, and with a hint of sneer on her lips, "Is the prefect asking me for not notifying you in advance?"

Magistrate Peng quickly said in a low voice, "I don't dare. I don't dare, the lower official."

Ye Yuchen snorted coldly, "I don't think you dare. Yesterday, Pingyang County looked like it was in decline. Today, when I look at it, it is completely opposite to yesterday. I wonder what Mr. Peng means by making such an arrangement?"
