"The person in the palace? Eunuch Li?"

When Chu Zhan heard this, he was stunned. He didn't know Eunuch Li, and he was also a little confused about what happened to Eunuch Li when he came to Chu's mansion.

Tang Chen and Chu Zheng, who were beside him, changed their expressions when they heard Eunuch Li.

As far as they know, the personal eunuch around King Tang is now the surname Li!

"Butler of Chu's Mansion, isn't Eunuch Li's hair gray, but his figure is tall and his face is still rosy?"

Tang Chen asked.

"The Sixth Prince is right, then Eunuch Li is like this!"

The butler nodded.

"Sixth Prince, do you know this Eunuch Li?"

Chu Zhan looked at Tang Chen with a puzzled look on his face.

"Mr. Chu, there are many father-in-laws named Li in the palace. I can't know them all, but it just so happens that I know the one outside the mansion. He is the personal eunuch of his father, and his strength has reached the late stage of the Nascent Soul!"

Tang Chen explained.

"What?"

"Is this Eunuch Li actually the eunuch of the king? Or is it the strength of the late stage of the Nascent Soul!"

Chu Zhan looked shocked. He never thought that King Tang's personal eunuch would come to a small place like Qingcheng, and he didn't expect that Eunuch Li would actually have the strength of the late stage of the Nascent Soul!

"Mr. Chu, this Eunuch Li must have something important to announce when he arrives in your mansion. We should go out to greet him quickly!"

Seeing that Chu Zhan was stunned, Chu Zheng quickly reminded him.

"Yes, yes, go and welcome Eunuch Li!"

Chu Zhan put on his robes and briskly walked out of the mansion, and Tang Chen, Chu Zheng, and Tang Yu were also closely behind.

As for Chu Feng, he followed the last one slowly.

After a while, everyone saw Eunuch Li outside the mansion.

"Eunuch Li."

Tang Chen and Chu Zheng immediately greeted Eunuch Li.

"Six princes, county magistrate."

Eunuch Li nodded and gave a greeting.

"Eunuch Li, I wonder what's wrong with you coming to the Chu Mansion?"

Tang Chen took the lead and said curiously.

"I am here to read the king's imperial edict!"

Eunuch Li flipped his hand and took out the imperial edict from his arms.

"What? Read the imperial edict?"

Tang Chen showed a look of surprise on his face. Generally speaking, the imperial edict was read by officials of the Ministry of Personnel, and almost never by Eunuch Li, unless there is a major matter to be announced.

"Eunuch Li, who is this imperial edict for?"

Chu Zheng said curiously.

"Lord of Qingcheng City, Chu Zhan!"

"What? It's an imperial edict to Lord Chu!"

Tang Chen and Chu Zheng immediately turned their attention to Chu Zhan, and Chu Zhan became the focus of the audience.

"Is the imperial edict to me?"

Chu Zhan looked confused.

I am just a small land in Dongjun, and the city lord of Qingcheng, how could I get the imperial edict?

Just when Chu Zhan was confused, Eunuch Li opened the imperial edict, then looked at Chu Zhan, smiled slightly, and said, "Mr. Chu, I want to read the imperial edict."

"The official will accept the order!"

Chu Zhan quickly knelt down, while Tang Chen, Chu Zheng, Tang Yu, and the guards at the entrance of the Chu Mansion all knelt down.

Only Chu Feng leaned against the door, looking calm.

When the Tang Dynasty read out the imperial edict, whether it was a prince, a prince, an official, or a commoner, he had to kneel down, but Chu Feng was an honorary elder of the Shushan Sword Sect, so he was naturally not bound by this.

When Eunuch Li saw that Chu Feng did not kneel down, he didn't say anything.

After a breath, Eunuch Li coughed lightly, and then read the imperial edict, "In accordance with the will of heaven, the King of Tang Dynasty will be promoted to the lord of Qingcheng City from now on, and Chu Zhan will be the commander of the Tang Dynasty City! I respect this!"

The imperial edict drawn by the King of Tang is very simple and goes straight to the topic, unlike the Hanlin Academy who wrote a lot of nonsense before entering the topic.

"What?"

"The king wants to promote me to be the commander of the royal city!"

When Chu Zhan heard the content of the imperial edict, he was stunned and immediately looked surprised.

He is just a small town lord like Qingcheng. The Tang King probably hasn't even heard of his own name, so how could he promote himself to the commander of the royal city?

The royal city commander and management of the entire royal city is so high that even the high-ranking officials in the court must give in!

Generally speaking, the commander of this royal city is a key position that all parties compete for, so how could it fall on one's own head?

However, Chu Zhan is also a talented person. He quickly realized that the King of Tang was trying to win over him... No, to be precise, he was trying to win over Chu Feng, or showing goodwill to Chu Feng!

Tang Chen and Chu Zheng, who were on the side, were also stunned when they heard the content of the imperial edict, but they immediately understood that the King of Tang was not about wine. He seemed to be promoting Chu Zhan, but in fact he was showing goodwill to Chu Feng and Shushan Sword Sect. After all, the status of Shushan Sword Sect has been several levels due to the appearance of the Jiujian Immortal!

"Mr. Chu, don't be stunned, hurry up and accept the order."

When Eunuch Li came to Chu Zhan, he, who had always been serious, showed a rare smile.

"Ah? Yes!"

"Lord of Qingcheng City, Chu Zhan receives the order, thank King Shang Long's kindness!"

Chu Zhan respectfully took the imperial edict before slowly getting up.

"Eunuch Li, the journey is exhausted and hard."

Chu Zhan smiled and then took out a few bottles of pills from his arms without any trace and prepared to stuff them to Eunuch Li, but was rejected by Eunuch Li.

"Mr. Chu, you're welcome. I'm just doing what I should do."

Eunuch Li smiled.

"My father-in-law is honest, but I'm a hasty person. My father-in-law also asked me to sit in and have a drink of tea." Chu Zhan invited.

"Then I'll bother you."

Although Eunuch Li was not thirsty, since Chu Zhan invited him warmly, he was disrespectful.

"Father-in-law, please come inside."

"good!"

When Eunuch Li passed by Chu Feng, his steps stopped slightly and he smiled and said, "Mr. Chu, I guess this is the son, Chu Feng, the honorary elder of the Shushan Sword Sect."

"good."

"I've seen Elder Chu."

Eunuch Li clasped his fists and bowed slightly to Chu Feng.

"You are kind to you, Eunuch Li."

Chu Feng also gave a greeting.

He was a little confused. Why did anyone in this world want to be eunuchs?

Isn’t it good to keep the “second brother” and enjoy some “scenes and water joy”? Is it not a woman?

Of course, no matter how confused you are, Chu Feng would not ask.

...

lobby.

Eunuch Li gave a sip of tea, then looked at Chu Zhan and asked, "Mr. Chu, I wonder when you will be able to work in the royal city?"

"So, when the officials hand over the matter between Qingcheng and the next Qingcheng City Lord, they will be able to work in the royal city."

"Eunuch Li, take the initiative to ask, who is Ren Qingcheng City Lord next?"

Chu Zhan asked.

"Qingcheng is the county town of Dongjun. The candidate for the next lord of Qingcheng will naturally be decided by Lord Chu."

Eunuch Li looked at Chu Zheng.

The next moment, Chu Zheng turned his gaze back to Chu Zhan and smiled and said, "Mr. Chu, except for you, I am not familiar with the officials in Qingcheng. Whoever do you think is suitable for the lord of Qingcheng will be the lord of Qingcheng!"

"This is not right."

Chu Zhan hesitated.

"Mr. Chu, there is nothing wrong with this. If you have lived in Qingcheng for a long time, you will naturally understand the character of Qingcheng officials better than Chu Zheng!"

"The Qingcheng City Lord you personally selected must be better than Chu Zheng blindly selected!"

Tang Chen, who was standing beside him, also added.

"Okay, I'll review the resumes of Qingcheng officials tonight, and then combine my understanding of them to consider who is suitable to be the lord of Qingcheng."

Since Tang Chen had spoken, Chu Zhan no longer refused.

"Elder Chu, the king wants to invite you to the palace to sit. I wonder when Elder Chu is free?"

Eunuch Li looked at Chu Feng and asked with a smile again.
