Chapter 1184 Successfully Passed, Alarm Lifted
The leader of the guards believed he was very shrewd and had a thorough understanding of the survival rules for ordinary people!
Thinking of this, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, saying, "This humble servant, Ding Si, greets Your Excellency!"
We don't know the other party's identity yet, so we can only call them "esteemed person" for now!
Crown Prince Xiao Jingye glanced indifferently at Ding Si, who was bowing respectfully, and stood still, uttering only one word: "No need!"
"Yes, Your Excellency, thank you!"
Ding Si bowed deeply again before straightening up.
Having already performed the proper etiquette, Ding Si still wanted to find out the identities of these people and what business they had with them.
He also had to ask.
Before he could speak, Du Feng stepped forward, pulled Ding Si a few steps away by his arm, and whispered in his ear, "Old Ding, don't ask any more questions!"
Your Highness... oh no...
Du Feng pretended to have let something slip and quickly corrected himself, "It's a benefactor!"
What brings you here incognito from the capital is not something you or I can pry into!
To tell you the truth, the person you are honored to have is actually Vice Commander Hou, who is dressed in plain clothes and accompanied you alone!
I didn't want more people to know about this trip!
It was also because Deputy Commander Hou was unlucky today that he entered the Qilin Mountain pass and happened to run into us as we were taking a few people out of the village.
Ugh!
Those troublemakers are truly despicable!
We arrested a few people, but... their families cried and made a huge scene, refusing to let us take them away.
During the struggle, somehow, they startled Vice Commander Hou's horse!
As a result, Deputy Commander Hou fell off his horse and was injured!
The horse has disappeared!
Although those troublemakers were mostly elderly, weak, women, and children, they outnumbered us, and the important person didn't want to escalate the situation, so they ordered us to release them...
Our brothers are carrying the injured Deputy Commander Hou this way right now!
Fearing that he might be a burden to the important person and delay their business, Deputy Commander Hou gave me his waist token and told me to accompany the important person to the mine to rest first!
As for what the esteemed guest intends to do… that will have to wait until he meets Steward Feng, where the esteemed guest will personally give instructions!
"I see!"
After listening to Du Feng's words, Ding Si took Hou Gui's deputy commander's badge and examined it closely...
The waist tag is definitely real!
Ding Si finally believed it!
When Du Feng said these words, he said he lowered his voice, but everyone who was supposed to hear it heard it!
It was originally intended so that all these people could hear it.
These people naturally believed it, and one by one they lowered their guard, sheathed their swords, and stood respectfully to the side.
Ding Si handed the waist token back to Du Feng, then turned and walked up to Crown Prince Xiao Jingye, bowing respectfully with an attitude even more deferential than before.
Please forgive me, sir!
This place is extremely important; I dare not be careless!
Please forgive my inconvenience in delaying your business!
"Your name is Ding Si?"
Crown Prince Xiao Jingye looked at Ding Si and asked.
"Yes! My name is Ding Si!"
Upon hearing the nobleman's question, Ding Si hurriedly responded.
"Hmm, you're not bad!"
There will be a reward later!
"Lead the way!"
Xiao Jingye nodded slightly and said.
"Yes!
This humble servant thanks you, Your Excellency!
"I'll lead the way for you right away!"
Ding Si was overjoyed and was about to step aside to make way when he heard the nobleman give further instructions...
"Oh, and also, find someone clever to secretly send a message to Feng Jiu, telling him to wait for Ben..."
Xiao Jingye shut up before he could finish speaking.
Xiao Jingye didn't finish his sentence, but Ding Si heard it all!
He automatically filled in the missing word at the end of the sentence, which was—tell him to wait for "this king"!
Ding Si knew that anyone who could be called "Your Highness" and refer to himself as "this King" must be a member of the royal family, and even more so, a member of the royal family who had been granted the title of "King"!
Today, a prince has actually come here!
Moreover, just now, this prince even praised himself!
That's right, when the prince said "You're not bad!" he was actually praising himself!
Could I be considered to have caught the eye of a benefactor today?
If so... does that mean I'm about to rise to the top in one step from this day forward?
Ding Si really overthought things!
Just as he was about to think further, he heard the tall, imposing guard behind the nobleman, holding a sword, say in a deep voice, "The nobleman has already given the order, what are you still standing there for?"
Ah! Yes!
I, a lowly person, know my crime!
Ding Si was startled and hurriedly composed himself. He apologized to Crown Prince Xiao Jingye, grabbed a guard beside him, whispered a few instructions, and sent him to deliver a message to Feng Jiu.
Then, Ding Si stepped aside and bowed respectfully, inviting Xiao Jingye and the others to move over.
Du Feng, as an important figure accompanying the dignitary, also stepped forward to accompany him.
Crown Prince Xiao Jingye casually adjusted his cloak and strode forward.
Ding Si hurriedly followed closely beside Xiao Jingye.
Leng Rongyue and Xiao Jingyu exchanged a glance and followed closely behind.
As for the soldiers led by Ding Si, they only retreated back to their posts behind the bushes after Xiao Jingye and his party had gone far away.
As for how they guessed the identity of this mysterious nobleman... that remains to be seen!
Xiao Jingyu and Leng Rongyue walked along, observing their surroundings as they went.
As guards protecting important figures, their behavior was perfectly normal, and no one questioned it.
The two looked up at the watchtower again...
The people on the watchtower had already put the gong back up; everything was alright down below, so they could put an end to the alarm!
