The crowd, seeing that his face was unfamiliar, furrowed their brows and after a long moment of recognition, gently shook their heads and said, "Who is this person?"
"What kind of evidence is he?"
Yu Wenye remained silent, merely glancing at him. Cheng Qiao immediately stepped forward and, bowing to the crowd, said, "Greetings, Lord Ji, and all esteemed gentlemen. I am Cheng Qiao, Deputy Commander of the Left Palace Army."
"The Left Palace Army!?"
Upon hearing these three words, some in the crowd immediately showed expressions of surprise, while Ji Hong's eyes flickered as he remembered, saying, "The Left Palace Army, you're from Jiangdu Palace—"
Cheng Qiao nodded, "Yes, I am a guard of Jiangdu Palace."
A soft sigh echoed through the crowd.
