Duan Rong dismounted at the entrance of the County Government Office, and the clerk immediately came over, took the reins, and led the horse aside.
As soon as Duan Rong stepped through the door of the County Government Office, someone came forward to greet him, immediately bowing and saying, "Imperial Envoy!"
Duan Rong was slightly taken aback; he hadn't expected Guo Xiangbao to greet him at the door. He then cupped his hands in salute and said, "Lord Guo!"
Guo Xiangbao smiled and said, "I should have visited you personally. However, there were some documents that needed signing, so I had to trouble you to come to the County Government Office."
A slight stirring occurred in Duan Rong's heart, as he wondered what Guo Xiangbao meant by documents needing signing. However, it was clearly inappropriate to ask directly. So, Duan Rong just replied indifferently, "You are too kind, Lord Guo!"
The two of them walked slowly to the flower hall in the backyard.
