Zhou Zhongkang's confident words poured cold water on Wufu who was overly excited.
Wu Fu wondered: "But the news that I got back is indeed like this. The imperial envoy will arrive at noon today, and the edict will be read out in public. If this is not for you, the young master, who else will it be given to?"
"How do I know this? I'm not a god in the sky!" Zhou Zhongkang glared at Wufu angrily.
"Are you ready for the ceremony to welcome the imperial envoy?" he asked.
"Everything is ready."
"Now the time is coming. Bring me my official uniform and change into a new set of clothes. Then follow me out of the city to meet the imperial envoy."
Zhou Zhongkang, dressed in official uniform and with the people all over the city, stood three miles away from the city gate waiting to greet the imperial envoy.
His expression was calm and there was no trace of excitement or excitement.
But in the hearts of Wufu and all the people, they all believed that the imperial ambassador must have come to grant him an official title.
There were smiles of joy and excitement on the faces of the people, and they were all sincerely happy for the news.
Because they all love this magistrate from the bottom of their hearts. For such a good magistrate, they only hope that he can stay for a few more years. Unfortunately, with the official decree from the imperial court, their Lord Zhou may have to leave.
Some people have shown their reluctance to give up, saying grateful and sad words to Zhou Zhongkang.
This made Zhou Zhongkang even more dumbfounded.
He wanted to explain to everyone that the imperial ambassador was not here to grant him an official title, but he only said a few words and then stopped.
Because the people didn't believe it and only regarded it as a modest statement.
Well, since they don't believe it, let the facts speak for themselves.
"Shh, it's coming!"
Suddenly, Wufu made a gesture and pointed at a plume of smoke rising in the distance.
The people who were talking a lot suddenly fell silent, and the lively scene became silent. They all looked in the direction of Wufu's finger.
From a distance, I could see bright flags flying, and bright things shining in the sun.
Someone whispered: "The Royal Forest Army, that's the Royal Forest Army!"
"Ah, I didn't expect that the Imperial Guards guarding the imperial city would come to this remote place like ours. It really opened our eyes."
The people all looked forward to it with eager looks.
Zhou Zhongkang also looked serious, straightened his official uniform, and stood respectfully by the roadside waiting for him.
The team came very quickly, and not long after, a group of royal guards with bright armor appeared in everyone's sight.
In the middle of the Royal Guards is a richly decorated carriage with its curtains lowered.
The people couldn't help but open their eyes wide, thinking that the person sitting in this carriage must be the imperial ambassador, right? But I don’t know what this imperial ambassador looks like. He must be a majestic official, right
The team of people was getting closer and closer. Zhou Zhongkang was startled when he saw that in front of the team was a tall horse, and immediately there was a young boy of fifteen or sixteen years old, thin and wearing the clothes of a young eunuch.
Eunuchs were not allowed to leave the capital without the imperial order.
Could this little eunuch be the imperial ambassador sent by the imperial court
But why would the emperor give such an important task to a young eunuch
If this little eunuch is an imperial envoy, then who is sitting in the carriage? Could it be the emperor
This idea shocked Zhou Zhongkang.
Seeing the motorcade getting closer and closer, Zhou Zhongkang thought carefully, rushed forward, and fell to the ground.
