Chapter 665: The Hometown In One's Heart
Seeing the two characters, Chen Chao naturally recalled the place deep within the Imperial City where the Great Liang Emperor had once brought him.
The secrets of that place were likely known to very few. However, it was understandable that Li Heng, as the emperor's most trusted eunuch, would be privy to them.
Li Heng handed the token to Chen Chao and said calmly, “Before His Majesty departed, he decreed that Hundred Streams Pavilion would henceforth be under your command. It's the most secretive blade of Great Liang, you must wield it well.”
Looking at the token in his palm, Chen Chao naturally understood its significance. After hesitating for a moment, he said, “Logically, this should be handed over to His Highness the Crown Prince.”
Li Heng frowned slightly and replied, “His Majesty's decree is not something you or I can alter.”
Chen Chao thought about it, then finally nodded without saying anything more.
Including this new position and the fact that his role as Lord Warden Commander had not yet been publicly announced, the authority Chen Chao held in Great Liang was truly staggering.
After putting away the token, Chen Chao turned his attention to the other items Li Heng had brought. Among them was even an imperial decree.
After handing it to Chen Chao, Li Heng shook his head and said, “I don't know the contents either.”
