"General, when the young marshal was young, this old servant took care of him for a while. This old servant knows that he is loyal and righteous. Although he doesn't say it, he still cares about you in his heart!"

Uncle Fu continued to comfort him.

Lin Yuanlong shook his head. "Let nature take its course. I don't have any high expectations. I just hope he can successfully inherit the position of commander!"

He paused, then continued, "Now that we've obtained Huang Anxiong's letter of recommendation, there are only the Marquis of Guanzhong and the Marquis of Guanwai left. That Marquis of Guanwai is a very shrewd fellow; he doesn't want to offend anyone. Unless the Marquis of Guanzhong expresses his opinion, he won't easily take sides!"

"So, if we want to get his letter of recommendation, we have to get past the tough nut of the Marquis of Guanzhong first!" Lin Yuanlong said with a glint in his eyes.

Marquis of Guanzhong, Xu Chengyi.

Speaking of which, he was actually Wu Xueqin's brother-in-law. His wife was Wu Xueqin's younger sister, and also the second young lady of the Wu family.

However, now that he has fallen out with the Wu family, it's unlikely that Xu Chengyi's letter of recommendation will be so easy to obtain.

"General, based on my years of observation, the Marquis of Guanzhong is not someone who can be easily manipulated. He may not necessarily obey the Wu family blindly! Why don't I prepare some small gifts and go on your behalf to find out what he's up to?" Uncle Fu suddenly asked.

Lin Yuanlong frowned slightly and waved his hand, "Forget it, I know Xu Chengyi better than you do!"

"Back then, we were both legion commanders, and his military achievements were no less than mine. But I never expected that I would become the commander-in-chief in the end! Over the years, he has held a grudge against me. This time, I have fallen out with the Wu family, and he is probably the happiest person about it!" Lin Yuanlong said with a sneer.

Uncle Fu paused for a moment, "General, what do you mean...?"

Lin Yuanlong sneered: "A person like Xu Chengyi will only submit to those who are stronger than him. If you want him to submit, you have to beat him until he submits and bows his head!"

"General, do you perhaps intend to take action personally?" Uncle Fu was still somewhat puzzled.

Lin Yuanlong waved his hand, "I'm old, why should I argue with him? Whether I win or lose is no longer important, what matters is that my son wins!"

"If you want to earn respect from others, you have to earn it with your fists!"

Lin Yuanlong's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he said calmly, "In a few days, inform Yu'er to assign him a mission to inspect Guanzhong! Since he's going to be the heir apparent, he should be allowed to conquer the world on his own!"

"You want the young marshal to go to Guanzhong?" Uncle Fu was stunned for a moment, and said with some worry, "Marshal, but you know the young marshal's temper. If he really causes trouble in Guanzhong, it will inevitably alarm Yandu. If things get out of hand, the higher-ups will probably have something to say!"

"We need to make them have opinions!"

Lin Yuanlong's eyes flickered, and he said with a cold smirk, "The covert war will eventually come to an end. At that time, the aristocratic families will gradually reclaim their power. Throughout history, how many families have ever discarded their useful tools after they've served their purpose? The reason they don't want Yu'er to take the throne is simply because they're worried that Yu'er will threaten their centralized power in the future!"

"Yu'er's trip to Guanzhong this time is to make him cause a big scene!" Lin Yuanlong sneered. "The bigger the scene he makes, the more at ease those old guys like Wu Tiande will be! Otherwise, do you think they would entrust the Northeast to such a cunning person?"

Uncle Fu's eyes lit up, and he nodded repeatedly, "Yes! It is indeed the Commander-in-Chief who is farsighted. In that case, the young marshal really has to go to Guanzhong in person!"

...

Lin Yu had no idea that Lin Yuanlong, that old fox, had already made clear arrangements for him.

However, he was definitely going to Guanzhong, after all, he needed to participate in the martial arts tournament and deal with that old bastard Li Qingcang.

At this point, he returned to the massage parlor.

I found my sister-in-law, Lu Xiaoya, sitting on the steps, resting her chin on her hand.

It turns out today is Sunday, a holiday.

Upon seeing him return, Lu Xiaoya quickly stood up. "Lin Yu, you're back!"

"Why did you come here? Are you out of money again?"

Lin Yu thought she had come to ask for living expenses.

As the shop door opened, Lu Xiaoya followed her in. "Lin Yu, do you know? Ziming is actually the son of the Marquis of Guannei!"

She also saw the news about Hengda today and now knows Huang Ziming's identity.

"Oh, what's wrong?" Lin Yu glanced at her. "Aren't you his girlfriend? Didn't he tell you?"

Lu Xiaoya's pretty face flushed red, and she stammered, unable to speak.

Lin Yu's lips curled up slightly. "That's right, he's a young marquis. He's just playing around with you. Why would he tell you his true identity?"

"Nonsense!" Lu Xiaoya was immediately enraged. "How could Ziming hide it from me? He... he told me before!"

Huang Ziming did say that before, but he only said it under Scarface's threat and had no choice but to. However, she didn't believe it at the time.

Lin Yu shook his head: "Xiao Ya, he's a young marquis, you're not good enough for him, you might as well just give up!"

He said this to persuade Lu Xiaoya to give up and not let it interfere with her studies.

Lu Xiaoya immediately exploded.

"So what if he's a young master? Isn't he a human being too? How am I not good enough for him! My sister is a boss now, and I'm a heiress!"

"A rich girl?" Lin Yu couldn't help but curl his lip. "Look in the mirror. What makes you look like a rich girl? What rich girl can't even study well and is at the bottom of her class in exams?"

"You!" Lu Xiaoya was furious. She pointed at Lin Yu's nose and shouted, "Lin Yu, how dare you look down on me? No matter what, I'm still better than you, right? You're just a live-in son-in-law who lives off my sister. What right do you have to talk to me like that!"

Lin Yu said with an indifferent expression, "I love being a kept man, it's delicious! I'm doing this through my own abilities, what's it to you?"

"You, you, you shameless!" Lu Xiaoya was so angry that she almost cried. She felt that Lin Yu was not like this before, but since his eyes recovered, he has become even more outrageous.
