Chapter 619: Must handle the matter

Xu Zifeng, sitting on the horse, swept his gaze forward; when his sight landed on the face of the figure wearing an ordinary Commandant's uniform but standing straight, his pupils suddenly contracted, and his whole body stiffened violently!

He didn't even have time to wait for the deputy general behind him to shout and scold, actually pulling the reins violently, almost rolling off the horse, his movements so hurried they were almost wretched!

He originally subconsciously wanted to kneel and salute, but in the flash of lightning, seeing Li Chen's Commandant uniform and the surrounding environment, his super-high political sensitivity made him react instantly: the Emperor is on an incognito inspection!

He forcibly stopped the trend of kneeling, quickly squeezing out an extremely unnatural, even somewhat fearful and respectful smile on his face, and trotted to Li Chen.

In the stunned gaze of everyone, he bowed slightly and asked cautiously: "Please, may I ask how I should address you?"

Li Chen's face was calm, and he said lightly: "My name is Cheng Li, I am the Commandant here."

Xu Zifeng instantly understood; the Emperor is playing a grassroots officer!

Infinite "admiration" surged in his heart: Look! This is the real wise monarch! Other Emperors go on incognito inspections to play in mountains and water, walking through the motions;

Our Emperor is truly going deep into the grassroots, experiencing life, and sharing joys and sorrows with the soldiers!

He immediately stood straight and said in an incomparably respectful, even reporting-work tone: "So it is Commandant Cheng! Your subordinate Xu Zifeng, just finished handling the friction with a group of Da Luo raiders on the border line, and came to Cold Iron Pass for supplies and rest."

He briefly reported the battle process and Li Chen to him.

Li Chen listened, a light flashing in his eyes that was not easily detected, and suddenly thought of something, saying: "Hmm, well done. After I get off work, you come find me, I have something to discuss with you."

"Yes! Your subordinate understands!" Xu Zifeng immediately bowed and replied, his attitude not like a noble son or a vanguard general, but rather like a small soldier under Li Chen.

He then turned and ordered his troops: "Everyone, attention! Return to the camp area to settle down! Do not disturb the people!"

Until Xu Zifeng took the army away, the entire Cold Iron Pass military camp was still in a state of extreme shock and silence.

After a long while, someone muttered to themselves: "Did I see wrong? Was that Prince Xu just now?"

"He... he was actually so polite to Commandant Cheng? And... and bowed?"

"More than polite! That was simply respectful!"

"What is the background of this Commandant Cheng?! Even the Prince of Zhennan's son, the vanguard general..."

"Hiss... the sky of Cold Iron Pass is afraid it is going to change."

Feng Shuo opened his mouth wide, looking at Li Chen's calm side face, feeling that the image of his "Brother Cheng" had become more mysterious and tall, and at the same time even more terrifying.

He knew how arrogant and tyrannical Xu Zifeng was; to be honest, Xu Zifeng would definitely dare to beat Han Zhen.

But there were really not many people who could make Xu Zifeng have this attitude.

Feng Shuo even felt that when he talked to Li Chen, standing was a bit disrespectful.

Actually, he guessed right; if he knew Li Chen's true identity, standing was indeed inappropriate.

After Li Chen left, a deputy general who had followed Xu Zifeng for many years dared to cautiously lean forward and ask in a low voice: "Boss, what is the background of that Commandant Cheng? You to him..." He made a respectful gesture, the meaning self-evident.

Xu Zifeng immediately glared at him, his eyes sharp as a knife, and warned strictly in a low voice: "Shut up! Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, don't inquire about what you shouldn't inquire about! Keep your eyes bright, manage your own mouth, this is for your own good, understand?" ===== CHAPTER 620 =====
