C228 Word (2/2)

”Is Young Master Xiao up?”

Her voice was sharp and high-pitched, giving Xiao Wen goosebumps, even though it was in a warm room.

However, from the other party's tone, he seemed to be looking for him. Thus, Xiao Wen walked all the way to the door, and conveniently laid down a fur coat before opening the door.

As he opened the door, a gust of cold wind blew in. Xiao Wen saw the other party's appearance.

It was a well-dressed middle-aged eunuch.

The reason why he said that was because there was not the slightest bit of a beard on his face. One had to know, when one reached the age of a chicken skin and crane hair, the ancient people would all grow a beard.

As for the old man in front of her, let alone a beard, he didn't even have a beard. Obviously, this is a sign of androgen deficiency after castration.

Even so, the old eunuch stood up straight in the snow. Although the evening storm was getting heavier and heavier, he was as calm as if he were bathing in a spring breeze.

”Indeed, trained by the evil feudal society, it is either crazy or a monster!” Xiao Wen looked at this old man, it was clear that he attributed his strength to this warped era.

However, he didn't linger on this matter for too long, and asked, ”I am Xiao Wen, may I ask who this eunuch is?”

”I am here to pass on His Majesty's dictum.” The eunuch said straight to the point.

An oracle? Your Majesty?

Isn't Liubang still in Liaoning? Did he return home?

However, thinking about it, Xiao Wen felt that it wasn't strange.

This could be Lu Zhi's intention.

After all, Lu Zhi was now replacing Liu Bang to issue orders in the name of the Emperor, which was no problem.

Thus, Xiao Wen bowed and said: ”Your servant accepts the decree.”

This was because Xiao Wen was a foreign talent who had built fewer dukes. In addition, the Han Dynasty itself gave him a great deal of preferential treatment. As a result, Xiao Wen no longer needed to speak. Even if he had to listen to a more official imperial edict, he wouldn't need to kneel down when he saw Liu Bang. He only needed to bow.

Seeing that Xiao Wen was so formal, the eunuch smiled.

He said, ”There is no need to be too formal. We're just passing on a message. ”

He paused before saying seriously, ”Young master, His Majesty ordered for you to head to Chang'an next spring, before the rain sets in.”

”Okay.” Xiao Wen bowed again and complied.

Then, he saw the eunuch leave the Xiao family without saying a word. He boarded a horse carriage and headed towards County Governor Manor.

Closing the door, Xiao Wen blocked the snowstorm outside and returned home.

At this moment, he saw a group of little fellows looking at him curiously. And Zhou Xian also asked, ”The one just now...” Is it someone from the palace? ”

”Right.” Xiao Wen nodded and said with melancholy, ”Just now, His Majesty sent an order for me, Gu Yu, to go to Chang An.”

”This is a good thing!” Zhou Xian said, ”Entering the palace is something many people can only encounter and not ask for in their entire lives. ”Now that you're gone, you'll be able to achieve great things in the future.”

However, Xiao Wen shook his head with a bitter smile and said, ”Although I know that I have such a day. But I also thought that the later the better. ”

”Why?” Xiao Wen's words confused Zhou Xian.

It wasn't just her, Zhou Wei, Zhuge Liang, and Guan Yu who were at a loss as well.

However, Li Zi Cheng remained silent. As for Yang Xiu, he coldly snorted and said, ”I, grandpa, am too familiar with the nature of those Changan aristocrats.”
