Chapter 455 Return to Beijing_2

In the barracks, dressed in a yellow coat, the imperial envoy loudly read out the Emperor's order to Li Ming, who kneeled on one knee before him; when the reading ended, Li Ming and the brothers beside him immediately responded, "We will obey."

After speaking, Li Ming made a signaling glance, and a man kneeling beside him, disguised as a soldier, promptly stood and slipped a bag of silver into the envoy's hand.

The envoy slightly smiled and did not refuse, letting the man shove the silver into his waist pouch.

"How come the envoy has come alone, without any attendants to serve him?" Li Ming said with a smiling bow, mixed with slight confusion.

"I am merely a messenger," the envoy replied with a smile, then bowed to Li Ming, "Duke, jests are unnecessary. Orders like the one you've received, the Emperor has issued dozens, they are all uniform commands, so there should be no errors, you may rest assured."
