611 The General’s Residence
However, little 38 and little 42 were not scared. Little 38 smiled and said, ” Butler, don’t worry. Little Nine is entertaining eunuch Liu and the others with good food and drinks. They won’t be in a hurry. So, you’d better tell us which girl the general has taken a fancy to.” In fact, when he said the last sentence, he gritted his teeth.
Jiang Tianping was pestered by the two, so he had to make up a story about Cinderella meeting her Prince Charming.
Outside the general’s residence, it was supposed to be an extremely cold day, but eunuch Liu and the rest of the Imperial decree-issuing team members were standing at the entrance of the cold and chilly gate.
After standing there for a moment, eunuch Liu felt a sharp pain as if he was being cut by a knife. He immediately felt a little resentful.
However, he, who served the Emperor, still had patience. So, he still stood at the door of the general’s mansion without a word, waiting for the defender-general of the state, Jiang Zhennan, to receive the Imperial edict.
However, just because he didn’t say anything, it didn’t mean that the others didn’t say anything.
A guard standing next to him observed eunuch Liu’s expression. When he saw eunuch Liu frown slightly, he immediately guessed that eunuch Liu was dissatisfied with the fact that the people from the general’s residence had not appeared.
He immediately stepped forward and said indignantly, ” eunuch Liu, what do you think the people from the defender General’s residence are doing? We’ve been standing here for a whole day, and we still haven’t seen a single person. They’re clearly looking down on His Majesty!”
“Shut up!” Eunuch Liu immediately said sternly, ” how can you speak so disdainfully of His Majesty? If there’s a next time, you’re not going to keep your head!”
After reprimanding the guard who was spouting nonsense, he looked at the plaque of the defender General’s mansion. The five big golden words were dazzling. He continued, ” the defender General of the state is a general who has made great contributions to the peace of our Long Yan Kingdom. How can you evaluate him as you please? ”
Even he didn’t dare to say anything bad about the defender general.
The group continued to wait.
At this moment, a few guards walked out of the defender general’s residence. One of them immediately looked anxious and apologetic. He cupped his hands and explained to eunuch Liu apologetically, ” I’m sorry, eunuch Liu. The general had a cold last night and did not expect to have a fever this morning. If the servants had not noticed it, his fever would have been worse.”
When eunuch Liu heard that the war god of a Kingdom was sick, his anger immediately dissipated. He immediately asked with concern, ” the great general is sick?! Is it serious? Did you get an Imperial physician to take a look?”
Little Nine shook his head and said, ” eunuch Liu, please don’t worry. Although the general had a fever, he found it early and invited a doctor to take a look. It did not cause the symptoms to worsen. He was prescribed a few doses of medicine and fell asleep after taking it.
“However, he heard that eunuch Liu has brought the emperor’s imperial decree and is currently tidying up his clothes. I ask eunuch Liu to wait for a moment!”
Eunuch Liu immediately understood and said, ” we can! Since great general is not feeling well, then we’ll take it slow. We can still wait!”
Little nine immediately expressed his gratitude, ” thank you for your understanding, eunuch Liu! On behalf of the great general, I thank eunuch Liu!”
Eunuch Liu immediately waved his hand and said, ” this is what we should do!”
Little Nine immediately gave his companions a look. The three companions who were holding teapots and teacups received little Nine’s look and immediately came forward to say, ” eunuch Liu, you’ve really worked hard! Come, have a cup of hot tea to warm your body!”
Eunuch Liu and the others had been standing there for a long time. They were indeed a little thirsty and cold. They took the tea and said, ” thank you!”
After pouring a cup of tea for each of them, little nine and the other three looked at each other, and only they could understand the meaning in their eyes.
A moment later, one of the guards who came with Eunuch Liu could not bear it any longer. He said to eunuch Liu, ” eunuch Liu, I can’t bear it any longer. I have to go to the toilet!”
In reality, eunuch Liu also had the urge to pee. However, at this moment, he could still bear with it for a while. When he heard that his subordinates wanted to go to the toilet, he could only nod and say, ” mm, go!”
Little Jiu immediately stepped forward and said, ” eunuch Liu, shall I bring this brother to the toilet? ”
Eunuch Liu replied, ” mm.” However, the more he resisted the urge to pee, the more urgent it became.
A moment later, people, including eunuch Liu, rushed into the toilet one after another.
…
At the back door of the general’s office, Little One stood at the door and looked around anxiously. He looked at the time and became more and more anxious.
Little sixteen walked over and said with the same anxious and worried expression, ” boss, will our general really come back? Will the great general be able to arrive in time to receive the Imperial edict?”
At this moment, Little one was also a little uncertain. He still said firmly, ” the general’s words have always carried enormous weight. If he says he will rush back today, then he will definitely rush back!”
The others were encouraged by his words and immediately said with confidence, ” yes, the general will definitely come back!”
A moment later, they heard the sound of horse hooves.
Their eyes lit up, and they shouted in surprise, ” the great general is back!
