Then, he added, "The Prime Minister sent me here this time because he needs your help with something."
Hearing this, the village chief said even more respectfully, "Please give your orders, sir."
"Some time ago, the Emperor sent the Ninth Prince and Princess Yunle here to provide disaster relief. The Prime Minister was worried that they might discover something fishy, so he sent a trusted aide to investigate. Unfortunately, he hasn't received any reply until now."
The village chief immediately understood what he meant and asked tentatively, "Do you need me to send someone to rescue that gentleman?"
The man said, "Send someone to investigate first. If this person is still alive and has not betrayed the Prime Minister, rescue him. But if he dares to betray the Prime Minister, kill him."
The village chief frowned. It was hard to say about this kind of thing. Who knew whether that gentleman had betrayed the prime minister?
No one can be sure about uncertain things, so to put it bluntly, this means that he should just kill the person directly.
However, he rescued the person first and asked some meaningful questions from him before killing him.
"Yes, I obey your orders!"
The village chief was about to leave, but the man said to him, "Prepare a room for me. I want to stay here for a while."
Although the village chief was surprised, he didn't dare to say anything. He just said "yes" and left.
Seeing this, the man in black robe looked around and found that there was no one around, so he followed and left.
Little did they know that Duan Qingxi was leisurely swinging his feet on the branch of a large tree. He looked at Xiaodai who was sitting next to him and said, "This man is dressed in black, so it's hard to tell what he looks like. But it's a good thing that he plans to stay in the village for a while, otherwise our plan would be impossible to implement."
Xiao Dai asked, "Aren't you going back to tell the Ninth Prince about this?"
Duan Qingxi rolled his eyes and said, "Why bother telling him? He must have known it a long time ago!"
Having said that, after returning, Duan Qingxi still told him everything.
Then, he looked at him with a worried look on his face and said, "This man looks like a confidant of Qin Yong. He probably knows you. Do you have the confidence to hide it from him?"
Anyway, she dared to guarantee that the man would never recognize her.
Helian Sheng remained calm, "Don't worry, even if he suspects me, he won't be able to find out anything."
Since he said so, Duan Qingxi naturally didn't bother to worry about it.
The next day, the man moved into the mountain village.
The brothers in the village seemed to be used to it. Seeing that there was one more person in the village and the village chief was so polite to him, they did not ask any more questions and did not dare to look at him any more. Everyone continued to do what they were supposed to do as usual.
However, Xu Xuan, who was released to move around, couldn't help but take another look.
He had never seen any dignitaries when he was in the capital, so no matter how carefully and attentively he looked, he would never be able to recognize who that person was. So he quickly withdrew his gaze and continued to teach the children to read and write.
The man in black robe saw this but didn't say anything.
His target today was the so-called down-and-out young man and the servant with superb medical skills.
The village chief had also greeted Helian Sheng and the others in advance, so when they met at the banquet, Helian Sheng was very calm and Duan Qingxi also looked indifferent.
After seeing them coming, the village chief said happily to Helian Sheng: "Come, little brother Dongfang, let me introduce someone to you."
As he spoke, he glanced at the man in black robe and said with a smile, "This is a distinguished guest from our village. He is also very curious about you, so he has always wanted to meet you."
Helian Sheng fixed his gaze on the black-robed man, then smiled gently, bowed to him, and said politely, "Thank you."
The man in black robe also stood up and returned the greeting to Helian Sheng.
