The Embroidered Uniform Guard outside the door watched Li Miao walk away before speaking.
But with Li Miao's hearing, even if there were two walls, he could hear everything clearly.
He was also used to it, and his footsteps didn't stop as he walked towards his Holding Room.
It was lunchtime at this time. As Li Miao walked inside, people from the Holding Rooms on both sides came out in twos and threes.
These people were all wearing indigo Official Uniforms. Seeing Li Miao in a sagging Long Robe, they were first stunned, then happy after seeing who it was, and came up to greet him.
"Commander." "Commander, are you eating?"
Li Miao nodded and kept taking things out of the package under his arm, handing one to each person.
The people who received the things were also used to Li Miao, and they weren't polite. They accepted the things, said thank you with a smile, and went out to find lunch together.
Li Miao walked away, and he heard the voices of people talking from afar.
“Being an Embroidered Uniform Guard to Commander Li's level is really the end.”
“Absolutely the end. There's no one in our Government Office who has a more comfortable life than Commander Li.”
“Who doesn't say so? We work every day watching the stars, and we don't even dare to loosen our Official Uniform belts. But he, hey, he's wearing his clothes open, eating, and only comes after waking up from his midday nap, and no one can control him.”
“Do you think we can have this kind of life one day?”
“Who is worthy? Are you worthy or am I worthy?”
“That's right, Commander Li has been an Embroidered Uniform Guard for twenty years. Fifteen years ago, he was already a Commander! Not only is he senior, but he's also the Subduing Commissioner's old subordinate, and he's also very capable!”
“Four Times Commander, he only handles affairs for four hours a day, and he can handle any affair in four hours! Even the Subduing Commissioner has to coax him, we can't compare.”
Li Miao couldn't hear the rest of the words clearly.
He walked inside slowly, greeting people and handing out things. When he reached the door of his Holding Room, he had just finished handing out the things in his hand.
A person in the room was pacing anxiously, it was the young Embroidered Uniform Guard who was with him last night, named Wang Hai, who was Li Miao's trusted aide.
When Wang Hai saw Li Miao, his face lit up with joy. Then he walked over quickly, holding Li Miao's Official Uniform in his hand, and as he approached, he helped him put on his clothes while speaking.
“Commander, you're finally here!”
“Last night, the Subduing Commissioner didn't see you come back to report, and he threw a whole set of the Four Treasures of the Study. That Inkstone is now embedded in the tree and can't be pried out! You should quickly put on your clothes and go see him, or he'll get sick again!”
He went back to the Government Office to report last night, and when the Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard didn't see Li Miao again, he was scolded severely, and he was told to wait in Li Miao's Holding Room. He was told to tell Li Miao to go see him immediately when he arrived at the Government Office.
He had been waiting from last night until now, and he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. Seeing that Li Miao had finally arrived, his face immediately lit up with joy.
Wang Hai went around Li Miao, pulling at his collar and tugging at his sleeves. He skillfully put the Official Uniform on Li Miao, and it didn't delay Li Miao's movements.
Not only was the technique skilled, but it also came with a foundation of more than a decade of pure Soft Skill, otherwise he couldn't have so quickly and gently put the Embroidered Uniform Guard Commander's rigid and cumbersome Official Uniform on a person who was walking.
It looked like the skill of a maid, but it actually carried the Artistic Conception of Soft Skill, "the leaves don't shake, the bees don't notice." If used in a life-or-death fight, it would be a sinister method of secretly injuring the Meridians and damaging the Skin and flesh, a technique that ordinary experts couldn't use.
Li Miao replied, "It was he who forced me to do it. I did things for him in the middle of the night, and it's fine if I don't ask him for benefits, but he still has the nerve to throw a temper?"
Wang Hai didn't reply.
After all, the Embroidered Uniform Guard was a secret service organization in a feudal era, with strict hierarchies, and the Family rules of the Embroidered Uniform Guard were even more cruel. Who would dare to bargain in front of the Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard?
Only their own Commander could make the Subduing Commissioner angry enough to throw pots and smash bowls without being punished, and in the end, it would be the subordinates who would be beaten.
Now was not the time for nonsense, the most important thing was to quickly let the lazy Commander Li go report to the Subduing Commissioner.
Li Miao looked outside and muttered, "It's lunchtime now, right?" Then he was about to sit down in his seat.
Wang Hai thought to himself, this is bad.
As long as their Commander sat in that place, it would be at least an hour's nap.
If the Subduing Commissioner couldn't wait for him and came to the door, he would definitely be killed to scare the monkeys again.
He immediately stepped forward, used his Force and secretly kicked, and a small Pebble hit the chair leg, smashing a crack. Then he quickly stepped forward, pretending to push the chair for Li Miao.
Crack.
Wang Hai himself had used the Thousand Jin Drop's Force, pressing the chair forward. The chair leg with the crack rubbed against the ground and immediately broke, and the whole thing tilted to the ground.
“Oh! It was fine yesterday!” Wang Hai exclaimed in surprise, then said to Li Miao.
“Commander, I'll go to the storeroom to get you a new one.”
“There's no place to sit in the room now, or would you go to the Subduing Commissioner's side and sit for a while? It just so happens that he said he has something to ask you.”
Li Miao looked at the sincere Wang Hai, and then looked at the broken chair, and shook his head: "Remember to get me a comfortable one to sit on."
After saying that, he took out a yellowed piece of paper from under the Paperweight on the table and put it in his pocket.
Only then did he take Square Steps and finally went towards the Subduing Commissioner's Holding Room.
Wang Hai breathed a sigh of relief, but saw Li Miao sticking his head out from outside the door and saying, "Hai'er, go to the storeroom and get some Silver, and send it to Si'er at my house."
“Understood.”
Seeing Wang Hai agree, Li Miao turned and left.
Walking to the Main Room in the Embroidered Uniform Guard's Office, which was the office of the Embroidered Uniform Guard Commander Zhu Zai.
This Main Room wasn't big, only a few yards square. In the courtyard, there was a large tree that a person could embrace, and in the middle of the trunk was an Inkstone, which was embedded a whole palm's depth. Some Juice still flowed out from the part that was smashed by the Inkstone, obviously it had just been put in not long ago.
It seemed that this was what Wang Hai said, that last night Zhu Zai, seeing that Li Miao hadn't come back to report, in a fit of anger, threw it out of the room.
The door was wide open, and the ground in front of the door was a flat Bluestone Slab, but it was inlaid with some broken porcelain pieces and scattered with some tea leaves.
An Embroidered Uniform Guard wearing a Bullfighting Uniform was squatting on the ground, pulling the broken porcelain pieces from the Bluestone Slab.
Li Miao walked in as if he hadn't seen it.
The Embroidered Uniform Guard Commander Zhu Zai, at this time, was holding a bowl of rice, slowly picking up a pair of Chopsticks with green leafy vegetables, and was about to put it in his mouth.
Just as it reached his mouth, he looked up and saw Li Miao walking in as if nothing had happened.
“Hmph!”
Zhu Zai shook his hand and threw the Chopsticks in his hand.
Whoosh!
That pair of Chopsticks directly cut through the air, emitting a shrill scream, and went straight for Li Miao's face.
Zhu Zai liked to throw things when he was angry, and everyone in the Embroidered Uniform Guard knew it, it was an old habit.
This matter itself was actually nothing, but this person's Martial Arts was also particularly high, and he didn't hold back when throwing things, which had caused many Embroidered Uniform Guard experts to suffer.
When this pair of Chopsticks flew over, it was both real and illusory, one with a clear Force and one with a hidden Force, one sent first and one sent later, both with Gao Ming's Hidden weapon techniques, it was clear that Zhu Zai was truly angry. It could be said that with just this pair of Chopsticks, it would be no problem to kill a Second-rate expert.
Of course, it was no threat to Li Miao.
Li Miao raised his hand and casually brushed it, and the pair of Chopsticks deviated from their direction, and with two "clangs" they were inserted into the Bluestone Slab at the door.
The Bullfighting Uniform Embroidered Uniform Guard at the door was pulling porcelain pieces from the Bluestone Slab, and when he looked up, there was another pair of Chopsticks on the stone slab.
He looked up at the room, sighed, and turned to pull out the Chopsticks again.
Li Miao walked into the room, casually found a chair and sat down, lazily looking at Zhu Zai, who was glaring.
“Don't throw the bowl over here, there's soup in the bowl. I'm wearing a Flying Fish Uniform now, and it's Deceiving the Emperor if it gets dirty.”
Li Miao leaned against the chair, supporting his face with his hand, and said.
