Sword Pavilion City, City Lord's Mansion.
Wen Runhua and Hu Ruiding looked at Li Ke in front of them and exchanged glances. A bitter smile appeared on the corners of their mouths. However, they immediately bowed respectfully.
"I didn't know that His Highness the King of Shu was already in Jiange City. Please punish me for my dereliction of duty.”
At this moment, Hu Ruiding was also sitting at the side, looking like he was asking for forgiveness.
After all, the two of them were in charge of the government and military affairs in Sword Pavilion City. Even if they were not too clear about what Li Ke had done, there would always be subordinates who would report such a major matter.
If they didn't care much about it before because it didn't have much to do with it, then now, they couldn't help but feel a little afraid.
Prince Li Ke, if something happened in Sword Pavilion City, then regardless of whether they knew or not, a crime of dereliction of duty was light.
Not to mention anything else, his future could be said to be impossible.
Therefore, at this moment, when they smiled bitterly, they could not help but feel a trace of joy in their hearts.
Fortunately, nothing happened to His Highness the King of Shu. As for the rest, His Highness the King of Shu was fine. What else could it be?
Also, the Lu Family and the Qingcheng Monastery probably know the true identity of His Highness now.
Thinking of this, the two of them did not dare to be negligent and looked at Li Ke respectfully.
………………
Previously, when they were welcoming Li Ke at the gate of Sword Pavilion City, they were curious about the quiet group of people in Lord's Mansion. However, a knight who walked out of Lord's Mansion soon explained the reason to them.
It was also at that time that the two of them realized that the King of Shu had already arrived in Jiange City a few days ago.
When they learned of this, the two of them were almost stunned on the spot.
Fortunately, they knew that today was the day to welcome Li Ke, the King of Shu. After a moment of daze, they immediately headed towards Li Ke's residence in the city.
Soon after, Li Ke arrived at the City Lord's Mansion. The two of them hurriedly came to pay their respects.
………………
At this moment, looking at the two people in front of him and thinking about their information, a smile appeared on Li Ke's face.
"Alright, it's fine. It's this prince who has brought trouble to the two of you.”
"I'm sorry for the matter of welcoming you at the city gate.”
"No, no, Your Highness must be joking. It's our honor to be able to welcome Your Highness.”
"However, we failed to discover Your Highness earlier and even put Your Highness in danger. It is our fault. Please forgive us, Your Highness.”
"Alright, alright."
Li Ke opened his mouth to speak as he looked at the two people in front of him who were asking for forgiveness with serious expressions.
"Those who don't know are not guilty!"
"Moreover, if you want to blame someone, it's me. I came to Shu first. If the Imperial Clan Court finds out, I'm afraid they won't be able to avoid a reprimand."
"Er, Your Highness, don't worry. We won't say anything more.”
Wen Runhua and Hu Ruiding looked at each other, then reacted and said firmly.
"Haha, if the Imperial Clan Court wanted to know, how could you hide it?”
That's right! They couldn't hide this matter even if they wanted to!
The two of them also understood after Li Ke's words sounded. Immediately, their faces could not help but become a little 'ruddy'.
"Hahaha, alright, I was just joking with you.”
Li Ke could not help but laugh out loud when he saw the embarrassed expressions of the two of them.
The reason he was so close to these two was because of their identities. Whether it was the information from the Imperial Court or the secret guards, these two were both loyal to the Great Tang.
However, this was not surprising at all. Where was the Sword Pavilion? However, entering Shu, or rather, the natural barrier of Shu, the importance of the geographical location could be imagined.
Therefore, the existence that could be stationed in Sword Pavilion City naturally had to be an existence that the imperial court could rest assured of.
At this moment, the two of them naturally sensed Li Ke's closeness after hearing his words. After being stunned for a moment, they could not help but feel even more respectful in their hearts.
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
………………
Zhou Zhiruo, who was standing beside Li Ke, looked at Wen Runhua and Hu Ruiding's respectful attitude towards Li Ke. Her eyes were filled with an inexplicable expression. It was as if she had already guessed it in her heart, but when she really faced it, she could not help but feel uneasy.
"So, he really is His Highness the King of Shu!”
