Recruiting soldiers and forging weapons—this made Bai Yuan practically a king in all but name!
"Eunuch Chang, is this truly His Majesty the Emperor's will?"
Even Bai Yuan couldn't help but ask for confirmation.
Eunuch Chang nodded with a smile. "Lord Bai, you can rest assured. These words came directly from His Majesty the Emperor, and I have a secret letter to prove it."
With that, Eunuch Chang produced a slip of paper from his sleeve.
A line of small characters was written on it, confirming what he had just said.
"..."
Bai Yuan gazed at the note, falling silent.
The two sat opposite each other, sipping their tea in silence. After a long moment, Bai Yuan finally spoke slowly, "Since His Majesty has entrusted this to me, I shall naturally do my utmost."
Seeing Bai Yuan agree, Eunuch Chang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
If Bai Yuan had refused, he truly wouldn't have been able to face the Emperor.
