Chapter 425 (2/2)

As Hu Yingmao thought, Ji Yong's notice came from outside the hospital: ”my Lord, Duke Li has come to the temple, waiting for you to take the order.”

Hu Yingmao closed his legs, stood up immediately, rubbed his hands excitedly, paced back and forth, and muttered: ”I'm really going to be promoted, promoted, promoted...”

Ji Yong's green veins jumped on his forehead. Seeing his overjoyed appearance, he couldn't help reminding him: ”Sir, you'd better go out to receive the order first...”

Hu Yingmao nodded frequently when he heard the speech, and hurriedly went to the mirror to straighten his clothes. Vanity joined hands and paid homage to Xiao mubai. While thanking his highness King Mo for being a Promise Keeper, he went out of the side yard to the front hall with Ji Yong.

Hu Yingmao greeted grandpa Li with a smile: ”thank you, Grandpa Li, for coming here.”

Seeing his cheerful appearance, Duke Li was suspicious. Did Hu Yingmao know the content of the imperial edict long ago?

Is it still a good thing for him?

”Lord Hu, you're welcome. The servant is also a errand. Will you take the order now?” Duke Li couldn't understand the content of the edict, and his tone of voice was gentle.

”Yes, yes, first.” Hu Yingmao nodded repeatedly and knelt down respectfully.

Duke Li opened the imperial edict, glanced at the contents above, and then looked at Hu Yingmao's expression. He was a little sad and laughing. Did Mr. Hu really know what was written on the imperial edict?

Even he knew that the position of governor of Wanzhou was a hot potato. Jing Qibin racked his brains for fear of being assigned by the emperor.

Hu Yingmao was so happy that he was almost beating gongs and drums.

”Grandpa Li, Grandpa Li?” Hu Yingmao was stunned and called him softly with a smile on his face.

”Well.” Grandpa Li recovered and looked at him with a complicated face.

”Grandpa Li, hurry to announce the decree...” Hu Yingmao can't wait.

”By heaven, the emperor decreed that: in order to seek governance, the officials close to the people should pay attention to good conduct, teach loyalty and encourage capital, respect Yu and long praise. Hu Yingmao, the Minister of Dali temple, bowed honestly, trained strictly, was an honest official and made remarkable achievements. He was specially granted the governor of Wanzhou, and went to his post immediately. Qin is here!” After Duke Li finished the publicity, he looked at the numb Hu Yingmao and coughed softly. Seeing that he still didn't respond, he coughed twice again. Seeing that he still couldn't recover, he frowned and shouted, ”Lord Hu, take the order...”

Ji Yong saw grandpa Li open his mouth, but Hu Yingmao was still stunned, so he had to touch him secretly and pound him in the back. Hu Yingmao came back to his senses. He looked bitter and raised his hands: ”I'll take the order, thank Lord longen, long live my Emperor...”

Duke Li put the edict into his hand, and Hu Yingmao was helped up by Ji Yong. Duke Li looked at him like two people before and after, and his words of congratulations were stuck in his mouth. For a moment, he didn't know whether to say it or not.

Hu Yingmao looked at the imperial edict in his hand, and then at Grandpa Li's appearance of wanting to talk and stop. He smiled bitterly at the corners of his mouth and took out the bag of reward from his sleeve: ”it's hard for Grandpa li...”

Li Gonggong politely declined: ”this... How to make.”

Hu Yingmao tightened the imperial edict in his hand and scolded his mother in his heart. He couldn't say how bitter he was. His smile became more and more obscure, but he was still fair to Li Gong: ”yes, that's a little tea money...”
