Chapter 1284 What You Fear Comes to pass

Lin Feng knew he couldn't enter the main hall, so he found a corner that others wouldn't easily see, leaned against the wall, and remained silent with his head down.

Ye Liangcai and Qiao Jushan followed him, standing in front of Lin Feng.

With Qiao Jushan's massive body blocking the view, outsiders couldn't see Lin Feng's body at all.

The seven or eight guards of the Prime Minister's residence glanced at them from time to time, but they didn't take it seriously. The master of the house knew them well, and the people from Hongsheng Escort Agency had come many times before, so there was nothing suspicious about them.

Time passed slowly, and just as Lin Feng was getting anxious, he saw Pang Xiu walk out of the hall, followed by a middle-aged man.

She stepped out of the hall, looked around, and then turned and walked towards Lin Feng and the others.

"Lin Da, Lin Er, Lin San, the Prime Minister wants to reward you in person, come with me."

To others, these words would naturally elicit envy, but to Lin Feng, they were like a thunderclap, leaving him stunned.

Damn it, why does what I fear most come to pass?

Was my plan doomed to fail?

It's been several days since I passed the test in Jingnan Prefecture and entered Hongsheng Escort Agency. Isn't my time precious enough?

Sister Hu followed behind Pang Xiu and, seeing Lin Feng's blank expression, quickly spoke up.

"Oh, you're so happy you've gone mad! Hurry up, Your Excellency Prime Minister, it looks like your ancestral graves are on fire!"

Lin Feng looked up and put on a smile.

“Who says otherwise? I’m most afraid of meeting officials. In that case, let my eldest son represent us brothers to pay our respects to the Prime Minister.”

Pang Xiu rolled her eyes at him: "What nonsense are you talking about? You dare to discount the Prime Minister's words? How can you be so spineless? Don't let my uncle's good intentions go to waste."

Lin Feng understood that Pang Bohong had praised the brothers in front of the Prime Minister again, which was why it had caught Miao Changfeng's attention.

The key point is that Miao Changfeng's favorite pastime was making friends with heroes of the martial arts world, especially martial arts masters; it was one of his quirks.

The middle-aged man who looked like a butler following behind Pang Xiu frowned and shouted.

"Hurry up, the Prime Minister is getting impatient, and it's not good for anyone."

Their loud voices immediately attracted the attention of the guards, and many people looked over.

Lin Feng knew he couldn't hesitate any longer. Many of Miao Changfeng's guards knew him, so he might as well go in with them and see what happened.

"Let's go, let's go. I don't know where we brothers burned incense, that even the Prime Minister values ​​it so much. It's a matter of bringing glory to our ancestors."

As he spoke, he followed the others into the hall.

Sister Hu chuckled to herself, "Lin San is the most sensible one. The other two didn't even offer any response."

Qiao Jushan remained silent, while Ye Liangcai secretly grumbled to himself.

If the boss doesn't give the order, how dare we move? You're such a talkative woman.

The middle-aged butler led them into the hall and then towards the back hall.

Miao Changfeng received Pang Bohong and Shang Keshen in a small living room in the back hall, mainly because the things they brought were very important.

Upon inspection, the equipment brought by Shang Keshen met the standards and was the latest equipment on the Zhenxi Army's warships.

Miao Changfeng was overjoyed, thinking that with this thing in his hand, he would definitely be able to gain some favor with the emperor.

It was during this period that the relationship between him and Emperor Zhao Zheng almost reached freezing point. If he didn't make any further moves, he might lose his position as prime minister.

Miao Changfeng had been with Zhao Zheng all the way and was the greatest contributor to the establishment of the Dazheng Dynasty. He was wholeheartedly devoted to Dazheng and Zhao Zheng, and willingly tied himself tightly to the Dazheng warship.

Zhao Zheng also gave him the greatest reward. The two were deeply in love when some regrettable things happened, which led to Miao Changfeng being neglected.

The middle-aged butler hurried into the small hall, bent down, and whispered his report.

"Master, the three Lin brothers have arrived."

"Very well, invite them in. I want to see what kind of heroes can stand firm against hundreds of bandits, risking their lives to fight them."

Following his words, Lin Feng and the other two stepped into the house.

Lin Feng followed behind Qiao Jushan, while Ye Liangcai stood to the side. The three of them walked to a spot five or six steps away from Miao Changfeng and stopped, then bowed in greeting.

As heroes of the martial arts world, they usually bow and clasp their hands in greeting, rarely kneeling in a deep bow.

Miao Changfeng had long associated with figures in the martial arts world, so he naturally didn't take it to heart. He stroked his beard, his eyes full of admiration.

He was mainly attracted to Qiao Jushan's physique. Such a powerful man, if he could be kept by his side, could be used to kill enemies and establish authority, or to withstand all attacks.

What a wonderful shield this is.

"No need for formalities, you must be Master Lin."

"It's me."

Qiao Jushan replied in a muffled voice.

Miao Changfeng looked at Ye Liangcai: "Are you Lin Er?"

Ye Liangcai cupped his hands and said, "Your Excellency, I am Lin Er."

"Okay, then, Lin San..."

Lin Feng quickly shouted loudly from behind Qiao Jushan.

"Your Excellency, my name is Lin San."

"Hehe, alright, raise your head and let me see you."

All three of them raised their heads.

Because Lin Feng was standing behind Qiao Jushan, Miao Changfeng naturally couldn't see him, but he couldn't say anything.

He just frowned slightly.

The middle-aged steward had served him for many years and was extremely good at reading people's expressions. Naturally, he knew the Prime Minister's intentions and quickly stepped forward to tug at Ye Liangcai's arm.

He lowered his voice and said, "You brothers are standing in a row. How can you be so disrespectful in front of the Prime Minister?"

Ye Liangcai was clever and knew that Lin Feng was hiding. Although he didn't know what Lin Feng was hiding from, he had to cooperate since his boss was doing this.

"My lord, my third son is afraid of meeting high-ranking officials. Please bear with him."

He spoke in a low voice, only loud enough for the middle-aged butler to hear.

The middle-aged butler could only spit out his anger.

"Useless."

Then he took two steps back and returned to Miao Changfeng's side.

In this situation, it's best not to dwell on it too much. We can only settle accounts with them when the Prime Minister is not around.

Lin Feng also breathed a sigh of relief. Damn it, I've never been so embarrassed before.

Of course, this doesn't apply when facing high-level cultivators.

Little did he know, before he could even exhale, he saw Miao Changfeng stand up and slowly pace around the hall.

"I am most fond of making friends with people from the martial arts world, and none are more skilled than you heroes and chivalrous knights. Now, you brothers have helped Hongsheng Escort Agency, bravely resisted the bandits' robbery, and protected my goods. You deserve to be richly rewarded."

Miao Changfeng got up and wandered around the hall. Miao Yong, the captain of the guards who had been standing behind him, also had to follow him closely, keeping a distance of no more than three steps from Miao Changfeng.

This distance shouldn't be too close or too far; it's exactly how a personal bodyguard should operate.

Lin Feng lowered his head again and held a strand of loose hair in front of his face.

Pang Bohong, the chief镖头 (bodyguard) of Hongsheng镖局 (escort agency), was very excited to hear the Prime Minister's praise. He had been on very good terms with the Prime Minister, and the success of his镖局 was largely due to the Prime Minister.

I am naturally pleased to receive praise from the Prime Minister.

"Haha, what you say is absolutely right, brother. It was because of your appreciation back then that Hongsheng was able to achieve its current prosperity."

"Hehe, this is also the result of your own hard work."

Pang Bohong quickly flattered, "As long as you follow the eldest brother, how can you not get promoted and make a fortune?"
