Chapter 622: Chapter 4: The Shock Brought by Mr. Zhao’s Military Minister of Agriculture (15000) _3

"Alas, the future of the Twin Island Dragon Horse Supervisor looks bleak."

Dong Yuanqiu and Tao Anchun completely misunderstood Zhao Xing’s background, and they guessed the opposite.

In reality, Princess You Ruo had little affection for her uncle.

Because when Prince Liang established the Black Dragon Army, he took a lot from her territory.

The powerful dragon species of Yalong Island and Ten Thousand Beast Island basically all went into Prince Liang’s pocket.

Just as the two were complaining, a document officer suddenly barged in.

"My lords, an urgent message from the county government!"

"What is it?"

"The Biyou Ship of Princess You Ruo is about to arrive at Twin County! The County Venerable has summoned all of you to the Bay Island Ship Station to welcome her."

"What?!" Tao Anchun and Dong Yuanqiu sobered up instantly.

"Quickly inform all department chiefs, we need to immediately set off with the Cloud Rain Ship to the Bay Island Ship Station."

"Yes, sir."

Tao Anchun and Dong Yuanqiu exchanged a look and quickly got up.

"Could Princess You Ruo be coming to Twin Islands because of your efforts over the past months, Mr. Tao?" Dong Yuanqiu asked.

He knew that Mr. Tao had been trying to establish connections with the Princess Mansion, even writing many letters to Princess You Ruo’s Mansion to improve the situation of the Twin Island Dragon Horse Supervisor.

"I am not sure." Tao Anchun shook his head; he had never received a response from the Princess Mansion.

As a mere Sixth-Rank Minister of Agriculture Officer, how could he attract the princess’s attention?

No matter how many times he tried, it was like a stone sinking into the sea.

Tao Anchun had even gone to Bixian County to seek an audience, but the princess never saw him; instead, the vassals there reproached him for being too ambitious and not understanding a minister’s duties.

But now that Princess You Ruo was truly here on Twin Islands, he couldn’t help but wonder.

"Could she really be here because of me?"

Thinking of this possibility, Tao Anchun felt a mixture of excitement and anticipation.

After all, Princess You Ruo owned over two hundred thousand islands in the East Sea!

There were over twenty thousand island counties.

Just the two thousand islands with offices alone would take nearly sixty years to inspect if she spent only one day on each island!

How could Tao Anchun not be excited?

It wasn’t just him; all the officials of Twin County were thrilled.

Like concubines in the harem who had long awaited the king’s favor!

"Quick, fetch my Cloud Peak Bamboo Crown robe!"

"Mr. Tao, you are confused. We are Minister of Agriculture Officials; why wear such fancy attire?"

"Just wear this old and slightly faded vestment robe, and better yet, let it be a little soiled in inconspicuous places!"

"Hiss, Mr. Dong, you have better insight!"

...

Twin County, Tower Ship Department.

The Biyou Ship of Princess You Ruo landed on the spacious docking plaza.

The County Venerable, Sun Shizhao, immediately led the officials in kneeling.

"This servant, Sun Shizhao, leading the civil and military officials of Twin County, pays respects to Your Highness!"

"Pay respects to Your Highness!"

Under Sun Shizhao’s lead, a group of officials knelt down.

"Rise." Princess You Ruo stood on the ship, overlooking those below. Auras of light surrounded her, with mystical images of blackbirds, golden dragons, colorful phoenixes, and auspicious clouds appearing.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Sun Shizhao rose, then bowed again, "May Your Highness kindly proceed to inspect Twin County."

After the officials’ three calls, they awaited Princess You Ruo’s instructions.

"Fine, I will take a look. Sun Shizhao, lead the way."

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Sun Shizhao was extremely excited and immediately sent people to welcome the princess’s entourage.

Zhao Xing glanced over in surprise; he hadn’t expected Princess You Ruo to disembark.

Originally, Princess You Ruo only planned to drop Zhao Xing off, not intending to disembark.

But at the last moment, she changed her mind and decided to stay on Twin Islands for a day.

To bolster her disciple’s prestige.

Since she was already there, staying a little longer wouldn’t hurt.

By doing this, Zhao Xing would find it easier to get things done on Twin Islands after this.

Zhao Xing thought, after such an event, easier would be an understatement.

He could practically do whatever he wanted.

At this moment, even if he were to hold Sun Shizhao down and call him grandson, he would likely comply obediently.

Things indeed turned out as Zhao Xing had anticipated.

When Princess You Ruo walked down, the officials noticed that standing beside her was a young man dressed in a Cloud Peak Bamboo Crown robe.

It was clear this person was a Minister of Agriculture Officer, and a proper Sixth-Rank at that.

If his rank were higher, he wouldn’t attract attention, as it wouldn’t be unusual for Princess You Ruo to deal with a First Grade.

But being a Sixth-Rank actually drew the gaze of all the officials.

Especially Dong Yuanqiu and Tao Anchun, who couldn’t stop looking.

"Could he be a vassal of Princess You Ruo?"

"A relative? Or a student from the Daoist Academy?"

"Surely not..."

"Nonsense, shut up! If you want to die, even through sound transmission you cannot discuss the princess!"

"I didn’t say anything..."

...

Arriving at the county government of Twin County on Bay Island, Princess You Ruo looked at the officials.

"Is the justice director from the Dragon Horse Guard and all department chiefs present?"

Tao Anchun felt a surge of joy and immediately stepped forward, "Your Highness, this lowly official is Tao Anchun, the Right Department Director of the Dragon Horse Guard."

"The chief officials of our Dragon Horse Guard are all present. Please, Your Highness, give your instructions."

Tao Anchun trembled as he spoke, feeling that he was about to prosper.

Princess You Ruo had truly come for him; why else would she mention the Dragon Horse Guard right away?

"Oh, that’s convenient." Princess You Ruo waved her hand, "I am here to deliver your new Left Department Director of the Dragon Horse Guard."

Everyone was momentarily stunned by her words.

Sun Shizhao couldn’t help but look at Zhao Xing, who stood beside Princess You Ruo.

Tao Anchun and Dong Yuanqiu were also taken aback.

"His name is Zhao Xing, your new chief officer of the Dragon Horse Guard. Why haven’t you greeted him yet?"
