C411 Identity Confirmed
Everyone had been walking silently for a long time. Seeing Xu Xinghu start to talk with a relaxed expression, Ma Yuxiao could not help but ask, "Elder Xu, where are you going to get us?"
Xu Xinghu smiled and said, "This is not the place to talk. Plus, the matter is urgent, so it is not convenient for me to say more. Elder Ren will tell you after we are on our way."
This corridor was very narrow and could only allow one person to pass. If someone came from the opposite side, it would be very difficult for the wrong person to pass through. Their group of more than ten people pulling a long line was indeed not conducive to conversation. Seeing that Xu Xinghu did not seem to want to talk anymore, Ma Yuxiao could only give up and stop asking. Just like the others, they continued to move forward quietly like before.
Although it was only a short while, everyone felt as if a very long period of time had passed. They stepped out of the corridor and came to the small courtyard outside. They couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, thinking that they could finally get to the bottom of this matter. Who knew that Xu Xinghu didn't stop walking past them and slowly opened the door of the courtyard. He stuck his head out and looked outside. After making sure that there was no one outside, he turned around and said softly, "Young Master and everyone, please follow me!" As he said that, Xu Xinghu stepped out of the door first. Everyone followed him out and found that they were in a narrow alley that could not be seen at both ends of the street.
Xu Xinghu had just stepped out of the door when he pushed open the door on the opposite side of the alley and walked in without hesitation. He let Du Qi and the others into the courtyard. He closed the door and put a bolt on it before he seemed to be relieved.
Under Xu Xinghu's guidance, Du Qi and the others passed by a corridor that was covered with traps like before. They passed through a narrow alley and walked through the houses in the courtyard for a long time. They entered a hall that could accommodate twenty to thirty people.
At this moment, there was only one old man in the hall, who was dressed in cloth clothing and had white hair and beard, but was hale and hearty. He saw Du Qi and the others entering the hall. He hurriedly held his breath, held his chest, and collapsed his back. Immediately, he welcomed them with a slight sound of a dragon bell. He bowed slightly to Du Qi and said, "This old man, Ren Dongming, greets young master."
It turned out that the person in the hall was the elder of Camel Horse Gang, Ren Dongming. When Du Qi saw him, he immediately restrained his Qi. He disguised himself as an ordinary old man with average martial arts and changed his tone of voice. He seemed to have come to pay his respects as a servant. In addition, Jin Dachuan and Xu Xinghu had tried to hide themselves. They must have other intentions, but Du Qi could not help but ask, "Ren, Elder, there's no need to be so polite. I wonder what Elder Ren's intention is?"
Ren Dongming replied, "In reply to young master, according to reliable sources, there are many unborn devils, large groups of devil disciples from the Heaven and Earth Cult, and some unknown experts rushing to the capital. They seem to want to harm Young Master, so we have no choice but to ask Young Master to leave the capital as soon as possible."
Hearing Ren Dongming's words, Du Qi couldn't help but be shocked. He recalled that he had been repeatedly surrounded and intercepted on the way out of Xiangyang. There were many times when it was possible that Elder Jian was stirring up trouble, but he couldn't rule out the possibility that there were other people who wanted to harm him. Some of them might have already secretly joined up with Elder Jian, and some might not have found a suitable opportunity to make a move yet. After arriving in Lu Mountain, due to Daoist priest Tianyi's interference, as well as the unexpected trip to the Jade Dew Palace, those people might have lost Du Qi a long time ago. When they found out that he had followed them to Jiujiang, Du Qi had already set off for the capital, and with the help of the two mutants, generously and Xiaofang, Du Qi miraculously entered the capital more than ten days earlier and unexpectedly left the people who were following him far behind. That was why Du Qi had been living such a carefree life after he had entered the capital.
Counting the time, the person who had been following him should have arrived in the capital in one or two days. Although there were still many people who were willing to get him, Du Qi knew very well that the people from the Heaven and Earth Cult must have come to deal with Yan Hao. Fortunately, he had already planned to leave the capital and return to Xiangyang. He had no objections to Ren Dongming and the others making arrangements for him to leave the capital. He said, "In that case, Elder Ren, please make the arrangements as you wish."
Seeing Du Qi agree to leave the capital so readily, Ren Dongming could not help but smile in satisfaction. Glancing at the people behind Du Qi, he said casually, "We will take five carriages out of the city. The ones driving the carriages are all the bodyguards of the Secret Service. They don't know about our background, so to avoid any accidents on the road. Young Master, can you confirm the identities of these people first? "
Du Qi said in surprise, "From what Elder Ren said, it seems like he wants to leave the city with us?"
Ren Dongming said with a smile, "Not with us, but with young master! From now on, the little one will be young master's servant, so the little one will need to occupy one carriage, and the other four will be arranged by young master."
Du Qi knew that Ren Dongming had the intention to follow him, and knew that he could not stop Ren Dongming's decision no matter what, so he pretended to be generous and said, "Other than Elder Ren, who else wants to follow?"
Ren Dongming smiled and said, "Is young master worried that I cannot serve him alone?"
Du Qi said again, "Elder Ren must be joking. But, Elder Ren left. What should I do about what I told you?"
Ren Dongming still smiled casually and said, "Don't worry, young master. I have already entrusted this matter to Su Dahai. He is more qualified than me to handle those matters."
Upon hearing this, Du Qi couldn't help but smile with relief, "In that case, Elder Ren will be my housekeeper along the way. In order to make things convenient for the pathfinder, he took the first carriage for himself. Brother Hu and sister-in-law were my guests. It is reasonable to use a carriage, and Miaoer will still be my bodyguard. He could only take the last carriage as he felt wronged. All of his sisters were my servant girls. They all sat in the fourth carriage, but each time, two people would come to the third carriage to serve me. Let's start with Xiao Ya and Yuxiao. "
As if he suddenly remembered something, Du Qi continued, "Ru Yi and Xiao Hua should go back to their original appearances, in case others see that they are not beautiful. Elder Ren, let's see if this arrangement is appropriate."
Ren Dongming smiled in satisfaction and said, "That's good!"
Everyone knew Yu Ruyi was disguised as a man, so it was natural for Du Qi to ask her to restore her original appearance. But Du Qi also said the same thing to Huang Yinhua. Everyone was a little puzzled. Huang Jinhua and Huang Yinhua were even more surprised. They looked at each other and were stunned for a while. Huang Yinhua then said in disbelief, "Young Master saw through it?"
Hearing what Huang Yinhua said, everyone knew that Du Qi's words were not baseless and they could not help but feel relieved. Ma Yuxiao took the initiative to laugh and said, "If Young Master did not see through it, then he would not be Young Master."
Du Qi smiled slightly and said against his heart, "If not for Miss Jinhua's reminder, I would not have paid attention to it at all."
Huang Jinhua said in surprise, "When did I remind you?"
