After a few days, the eunuch team that was sent by the imperial court to announce the imperial edict finally arrived.

Just as Mi Zhu had brought the news before, the imperial court really pardoned the surrendered Yellow Turbans, and also appointed Li Sheng as the governor of Youzhou.

"I, General Sheng, will definitely live up to your majesty's trust!"

Li Sheng took the imperial edict from the eunuch with great solemnity.

"All the eunuchs have traveled a long way and have worked hard all the way. Go and arrange meals and rest rooms, and prepare local specialties of Wancheng for all the eunuchs, one for each."

Li Xiang watched Li Sheng take the imperial edict, and then instructed a guard around him.

"Yes!" The guard hurried away.

Seeing this, the eunuch hurriedly looked flattered, came to Li Xiang, and said respectfully:

"How can we let the Marquis spend so much money? The Marquis has worked hard enough in the war. I dare not, I dare not, we all brought enough money with us."

The eunuch really felt flattered.

Arrangement of food and accommodation, this is normal.

However, Li Xiang also said that he would prepare a local specialty for each of them, which made them feel flattered.

Although it is called a local specialty, this local specialty is not that local specialty.

If others were to pay tribute, they would accept it, or if others did not pay tribute, they would find others to pay tribute.

However, it was Li Xiang in front of them, and they did not have the courage to pay tribute to Li Xiang!

"I have already given the order. Do you want me to go back on my word for such a small matter?"

"I will ask the eunuch, does His Majesty have any instructions?"

Li Xiang waved his hand, and the eunuch did not dare to say anything. He felt warm in his heart, thinking that Li Xiang was quite considerate.

Faced with Li Xiang's question, the eunuch did not dare to neglect it and hurriedly said:

"My Lord, His Majesty did give instructions. His Majesty asked you to send troops to wipe out Zhang Jiao of Julu as soon as possible!"

Li Xiang nodded and asked again: "Are there any other things?"

"My Lord, other things..." The eunuch seemed a little hesitant when he heard Li Xiang's question, and it seemed difficult to speak.

Seeing this, Li Xiang asked everyone else to go down first.

The eunuchs were also arranged to go down.

"My Lord, I risked my life to say this, please keep it secret." The eunuch said to Li Xiang when he saw that there was no one around.

Hearing this, Li Xiang narrowed his eyes slightly, but a smile appeared on his face, and he said with a smile:

"Say whatever you want to say. If it is useful, I will not forget you."

Hearing Li Xiang's words, the eunuch no longer hesitated and said:

"My Lord, before leaving, His Majesty told me alone that I should stay in Wancheng for a few days and pay attention to my words and deeds to see if there are any presumptuous actions or words that are outrageous!"

Hearing this, Li Xiang looked at the eunuch steadily.

Seeing that the eunuch was a little panicked, Li Xiang smiled and said:

"Then do you think I have done anything presumptuous or said anything outrageous?"

The eunuch hurriedly said:

"My Lord is quite respectful to eunuchs like me, and I have not done anything presumptuous or said anything outrageous. My Lord checks the military reports from various places every day and discusses the marching strategy with the generals. When my Lord learned that His Majesty wanted to send troops quickly, he immediately summoned the army."

Li Xiang listened to the eunuch's long words and praised:

"You have a good eye. What's your name?"

The eunuch was delighted and knew that he had climbed onto Li Xiang's big ship. He hurriedly said: "My Lord, I am Zhou Le."

"Well, my Lord will remember you. If you have any problems in the future, you can come to my house to find me." Li Xiang nodded and smiled.

"Thank you, my Lord!" The eunuch hurriedly said gratefully and was relieved.

In fact, he was not a member of Cao Zhengchun, Zhang Rang, or Zhao Zhong, but was specially found by Liu Hong.

However, Zhou Le understood that Liu Hong would not give him much promotion since Cao Zhengchun, Zhang Rang, and Zhao Zhong were above him.

Therefore, he was polite to Li Xiang and immediately showed his goodwill to him.

Li Xiang looked at the back of this strange eunuch Zhou Le, thinking that Liu Hong actually asked someone to observe his every word and action to see if he was overstepping his bounds or being presumptuous, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
