"Your Excellency, I didn't expect such a slippery character to show up." After Cen Gaosong left, Liu Xuan's clerk said with a frown.
Liu Xuan's face turned cold. "Hmph, he must have been coached by someone. If this man were truly clever, he'd be getting a promotion right now, not a lateral transfer to our post."
"So, are we really just going to wait here for that Ancient Wen Heng?"
Liu Xuan said, "It's not the handover date yet. The roads on the way here aren't easy to travel, so a delay would be perfectly normal. It's just that I won't have so much time to wait for him when the time comes."
"But what if..."
"There is no 'what if.' The roads are difficult. A delay here and there will add up, and he'll be late," Liu Xuan said coldly.
The clerk quickly agreed. "When you came to take office, Your Excellency, you were also delayed on the road. I truly hope Mr. Gu doesn't run into any of those bandits or highwaymen and miss his handover date."
