American Comics: BOSS Invasion

"Did you see everything clearly? Were you discovered?" Eunuch Li asked hurriedly.

The young eunuch smiled and said, "I saw everything clearly! I followed Grand Secretary Zhang's team from the North Gate, traveling about twenty li before seeing him enter a small tavern!

Along the way, I was extra careful, paying attention to concealing myself and keeping a good distance, so I was never discovered by the people in front.

However, the small tavern was too small and the location was rather remote, making it difficult to encounter pedestrians, so I didn't dare get close. I just chose a hidden spot to hide for a while. After about fifteen minutes, Grand Secretary Zhang frowned and came out, leading his men back to the capital."

"After they left, did you investigate?"

"I circled the small tavern, going around it once. I found that there was only a shopkeeper inside. Besides being a bit old, there was nothing else noteworthy.

However, to avoid alerting anyone, I didn't go into the small tavern to inquire. Instead, I waited a while, and after seeing that there were no unusual movements at the small tavern, I immediately returned to report to you!"

Eunuch Li nodded repeatedly: "You little rascal are quite clever. If you had made one wrong move, you probably wouldn't have seen your ancestors. Good, good, this news is very important. You've done a great service for me. I'll put in a good word for you. Tomorrow morning, you can report to the Imperial Kitchen. I guarantee you a position as a steward!"

The young eunuch was overjoyed and immediately kowtowed to thank him.

He appeared extremely grateful, but Eunuch Li smiled: "Alright, alright, your little tricks are still being performed in front of me. I remember the things I promised you!

Isn't it just that there are no vacancies in the Hall of Mental Cultivation? Even if you want to catch the Emperor's eye, you have to look for opportunities. Stay in the Imperial Kitchen for a while, and I'll transfer you to serve before the Emperor in less than three months!"

The young eunuch was overjoyed and kowtowed repeatedly.

Eunuch Li smiled, pulled him up, gave him a light kick, and scolded with a smile: "Alright, why are there so many broken rules? Go out and tell someone to bring me a cup of tea. I have to go see the Emperor in a while!"

The young eunuch quickly agreed and went out to instruct someone to pour tea. In that short time, a person suddenly and silently flipped over the wall.

Eunuch Li restrained his smile, looked at the door the young eunuch had left through, and asked faintly, "Is what he said true?"

"It's true, but there was an oversight!"

The person kneeling on the ground was also dressed as a young eunuch, but he was as cold and hard as a stone, and even his tone of voice never changed.

"What was the oversight?"

"After he left, a mud pit suddenly涌出emerged below the small tavern, swallowing the entire small tavern like a swamp.

Now there is only a thick piece of yellow mud left there. Nothing else is there!"

Eunuch Li was suddenly stunned: "What did you say? A suddenly appearing swamp?"

"That's right!"

The answer was still calm and stiff, without a trace of emotion.

Eunuch Li was silent for a moment, his mind racing. After a long while, he waved his hand and told the young eunuch to leave.

He looked at the sky and sighed softly in his heart.

Your Majesty, you guessed correctly. His Highness the Crown Prince is indeed not someone who is content with the status quo. He has changed a lot!

In that case, the true state of the Flying Tiger Army can also be told to him!

-----

As dusk approached, Eunuch Li stood by Qi Shan's side, silent as usual. Qi Shan lowered his head, looking at various ancient books and documents. At first, he ignored him, but as time passed, Qi Shan felt that the old eunuch was acting strangely today.

After thinking for a moment, he closed an ancient book in front of him and said faintly: "You've been holding it in all night. What can't you say directly?"

Eunuch Li smiled wryly: "This servant is just a little conflicted in his heart. I didn't expect His Majesty to see it!"

"Tell me, what are you conflicted about?"

Qi Shan just asked casually, but after a moment of silence, Eunuch Li gave him a shocking answer.

"This servant is wondering if he should tell His Majesty the truth about the Flying Tiger Army!"

Qi Shan's eyes twitched slightly, and he said in a calm voice, "I had already guessed that you old fellow were hiding many secrets in your heart. I didn't expect the Flying Tiger Army to be one of them. Tell me, what were you conflicted about before? Shouldn't the Flying Tiger Army have been told to me a long time ago?"

The old eunuch hurriedly walked out and knelt on the ground: "Please forgive me, Your Majesty. This servant had no choice. Before the late Emperor passed away, he summoned this old servant to his bedside alone and carefully instructed me about this matter.

The late Emperor's oral decree: The matter of the Flying Tiger Army is detrimental to heavenly harmony. Unless absolutely necessary, the truth of this matter must not be told to His Majesty during this old servant's lifetime."

The old eunuch suggested cautiously, but Qi Shan got up directly and walked out.

"Speak less nonsense and lead the way quickly!"

In fact, Qi Shan had already guessed that the Flying Tiger Army might be fake. After all, an army with rumors flying everywhere also needs people to eat and horses to chew.

The royal family has now almost stood on the opposite side of the cabinet. The two sides have fundamental contradictions. The cabinet wants to put the emperor's power in a cage, and the emperor certainly does not want to. He also wants to strengthen the centralization of power and gain more power.

The key point of the current contradiction lies in the fact that the royal family uses a force that belongs exclusively to them, which makes the cabinet a little difficult to handle.

Qi Shan once suspected that the Flying Tiger Army was just a rumor. Later, seeing Zhang Deliang's performance, he knew that it would definitely not be so simple. Then, in his memory fragments, the only person in the entire imperial palace who could know about the Flying Tiger Army was Li Dabai.

However, Qi Shan did not have too many expectations for the real Flying Tiger Army. Anyway, he now has plenty of troops under his command.

Not counting the naturally divided ones, the number of White Zetsu exceeds 4 billion. If they were all deployed, I am afraid that the entire territory of the Great Qi Empire would not be able to accommodate them.

However, since the old eunuch took the initiative to say it, Qi Shan did not mind seeing this mysterious army.
