325 Hong Wen (2/2)

”Ah... You are a mere caretaker of a stupid horse!” Hong Wen mocked Rong Qiu while laughing out loud. He was so happy to the point that he kept slapping his own thigh loudly.

Rong Qiu rolled his eyes. If he didn't ask specifically to take care of Bao Bei, he would still be in the capital and certainly more successful from this fool. However, he had never bothered to choose glory because he was a sentimental person. It seemed like this trait of him was still there when he forgot everything. He still chose Aunt Yue and Bao Bei, right?

Rong Qiu wondered why such a stupid person could be a high-rank official. However, precisely this personality of his that could make Rong Qiu use him easily. He felt lucky that the Han Emperor had chosen this person to come here. If it was exchanged with another official, he didn't think that he would be successful.

”Yes, I am...” Rong Qiu didn't bother to sugarcoat his words.

Hong Wen thought that he would at least feel embarrassed, but Rong Qiu only gave him a flat expression. To him, it appeared more annoying.

Rong Qiu thought inwardly, 'Come on! Come on! Get angry at me... so you will laugh at my misery and tend to believe the esteemed guest's rumor...'

Indeed, Hong Wen was easily provoked. ”Kneel down!” He said with full authority.

The advisor sweated when he heard this --- he had already told Hong Wen not to be rash! Even if Uncle Qiu had already stayed here for a long time, his loyal followers in the capital were still a lot! If those followers heard about what happened here, Hong Wen's current behavior could be said akin to make enemies with a lot of people!

Rong Qiu stood up proudly, ”On what base? I didn't make any mistakes.”

”Your rank is lower than mine!” Hong Wen answered. ”Shouldn't you give me a polite greeting?”

Rong Qiu laughed. ”Da Ren... isn't this called bullying innocent people? I don't dare to kneel down, because I'm afraid that people will gossip about it and smear Da Ren's name...” Rong Qiu sarcastically said.

”You...” Hong Wen almost vomited blood when he heard Rong Qiu's words, however, what the latter said was true. Rong Qiu always had a way with words and it annoyed him to no end. He had no reason to let him kneel down.

His advisor gave Hong Wen a signal --- it was time to give the Emperor's decree to Uncle Qiu. He was so helpless because Hong Wen could even forget an important thing because of his own grudge. However, he also knew that Hong Wen always lived in the shadow of Uncle Qiu. The latter kept climbing up the ladder while Hong Wen couldn't. When the latter had a chance to climb up the ladder and wanted to gloat, Uncle Qiu decided to retire out of anger.

How could Hong Wen not feel disappointed ah~?! Thus, he could never forget his resentment towards Uncle Qiu.

Hong Wen smirked when he received the decree, ”You need to kneel down for real. This is the Emperor's decree.”

Rong Qiu rolled his eyes after seeing his childish behavior. Before kneeling, he said something that made Hong Wen's face become red, ”I'm kneeling to the Han Emperor's decree --- not you.”

Hong Wen almost vomited blood when he heard Uncle Qiu's provocation words! His previous happiness to see him kneeling down was gone in a flash. 'This bastard!' He cursed inwardly. However, he could do nothing to Uncle Qiu ah~!

Rong Qiu paid him no mind and he quickly kneeled down politely.
