Chapter 1753: Ten days deadline

What?

Everyone present was completely stunned by the emperor's order.

Especially Li Huaiyuan, after hearing this appointment, his whole face twisted into an S shape.

That's the deputy commander-in-chief of the Habayashi Guards!

It sounds like a deputy position, but the Habayashi Guards are too special. Therefore, the position of commander-in-chief is appointed by the emperor himself.

In other words, the Habayashi Guards have no commander-in-chief at all, only three deputy commanders-in-chief.

Even though the rank of deputy commander-in-chief is the same as Xiao Chen's current military rank, his power and status are so high that it is almost unimaginable.

Even Li Huaiyuan felt downhearted in front of the deputy commander-in-chief.

Seeing that everyone was stunned in place, the middle-aged man frowned and said in an extremely unhappy tone: "Who is Xiao Chen? Come out to receive the imperial edict."

He was the emperor's chief secret, and he came to read the edict in person, which already gave Xiao Chen enough face.

But this guy doesn't understand the rules too much. Do I still need to be reminded of the edict?

"Secretary Xue, Xiao Chen has always been a non-staff member of the War Department."

Shangguan Baiyun saw the middle-aged man looking a little angry and hurriedly stepped forward to explain.

"What's the meaning?"

Secretary Xue was confused by Shangguan Baiyun's words. When did the war department have non-staff personnel?

Shangguan Baiyun hurriedly smiled and said: "Secretary Xue, you don't know something. This Xiao Chen said that he is used to freedom. If he is not given a casual position, he does not want to join the war department, so this is why..."

"absurd!"

Secretary Xu's face sank and he said angrily: "Where is the War Department? Does he come and leave whenever he wants? Besides, I can't hold up the edict and wait for him to come over to summon him."

Damn it, why don’t you break your arm?

"Secretary Xue, how about this? I'll just hand over the emperor's appointment certificate to him on your behalf. But why did the emperor suddenly promote him to be the deputy commander-in-chief?"

Mr. Wu asked with a somewhat sad face.

After all, Xiao Chen even had trouble reporting to the War Department. After becoming the deputy commander-in-chief of the Yulin Guards, wouldn't he have to go to Dian Mao every morning?

With Xiao Chen's temper, he would definitely not agree to one hundred and twenty.

That would be a big trouble. It's not a big deal not to accept the appointment letter from the Ministry of War, but if you don't accept the emperor's edict, it would be tantamount to rebellion and treason.

"Well, the day before yesterday morning, the head of the Dan Sect went to check the emperor's pulse, but the emperor suddenly praised this Xiao Chen and said that he is the backbone of my China and is worthy of a great responsibility."

"Then on a whim, I issued such an edict and asked me to deliver it to Xiao Chen personally."

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Baiyun and Wu Lao's faces turned green. Looking at this posture, Xiao Chen couldn't hide even if he wanted to. It must have been recommended to the emperor personally by the head of the Dan Sect.

"Uh... Secretary Xue, Xiao Chen is a naughty person. I'm afraid... he won't be able to report to the Yulin Guard for a while. You see..."

Shangguan Baiyun said cautiously.

"Naughty?"

Secretary Xue sneered and said: "The emperor has an order, within ten days, you must see the living person, and the dead body must be seen. It depends on whether you put on Yulin's military uniform and stand in front of the emperor, or cover it with a national flag and send it to the cemetery.

It was his own choice."

After saying that, Secretary Xu directly slapped the emperor's edict on Mr. Wu's desk and said with an ugly expression: "Old Wu, the emperor's edict cannot be careless. I'd like to thank you for your help and convey it to Xiao Chen."

"You must be quick. The emperor only gives him ten days. If something goes wrong, you and I both know the consequences. Not only will he be unable to eat, but we will also have to kill the nine tribes."

Wu Wentian swallowed, nodded heavily and said, "Secretary Xue, just rest assured, I will certainly live up to my trust."

"Okay! I'll take my leave now!"

After watching Secretary Xu walk away, Mr. Wu hurriedly picked up the phone and dialed Xiao Chen's number, but he called three times and no one answered Xiao Chen's phone.

"What's wrong, isn't this kid rushing to Xia's house for a cocktail party? It's only what time it is, no matter how anxious he is, he won't be in a hurry! Today's young people, let me tell you what to say."

Mr. Wu was so anxious that he stamped his feet. As a senior official in the war department, he couldn't go to Xia's house to pass on the edict, right?

"Mr. Wu, when I finish handling the work at hand and go to the Xia family in person, I should be able to find nephew Xiao Chen." Shangguan Baiyun said with a smile.

"Oh, that's all we have to do."
