"Keep your voice down, or you'll lose your head."
"Hmph, what's there to be afraid of? Who knows, maybe I'll just die in the mine one day. What's the point in being scared?"

Or perhaps, not passersby, but 'guards'?
Arranging guards as a welcome isn't an issue, but having guards from the city gate all the way to the streets within the city carries a very different implication.
Are they afraid he'll hear or see something? Or are they preventing an attack?

They traveled in silence; the carriage rode for about fifteen minutes before finally stopping in front of 'Jingshang Tower.'
"Please, Lords."
Lv Wen and Zhou Xun bowed their heads deeply.
