But the emperor had already given him no chance to refute.

"General, please do not say any more."

"By imperial decree, Lin Yuan is hereby appointed as General of the Vanguard, leading three thousand men of the Han family army to quell the rebellion."

"Soldiers can be recruited along the way. Once there are more than 10,000 soldiers, the final battle can be launched."

"this?"

Han Qinghu's eyes widened. His Majesty was putting him in a difficult position, but he was powerless to do anything about it.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

When the ministers below heard that the emperor had actually sent a mere child to lead the army into battle, all sorts of wild speculations immediately formed in their minds.

"It seems His Majesty intends to train General Han to be a sinker."

"Yes, this is His Majesty's intention to stabilize the Han family's strength."

“That’s right, otherwise, anyone would be more experienced than Lin Yuan.”

"Yes, this is also an opportunity for Lin Yuan."

"But if I were Lin Yuan, I would take this battle slowly, first wear down the morale of the Heaven and Earth Society, and then crush them in one fell swoop."

"Once we win the war in the south, we will wipe out Yanzhou in one fell swoop."

"At that time, Lin Yuan's war merits will be like a free gift."

Of course, the emperor did make this arrangement to promote the descendants of the Han family and to solidify their status.

However, this is only the first layer.

Another thing is that Lin Yuan is different from Han Qinghu; he's easier to control.

Therefore, even with Han Lan accompanying the army, Liu Feng could easily control Lin Yuan.

After all, even if Han Lan has some strategic skills, she can't compare to Linghu Xiaoshan, who is skilled in both literature and martial arts. If Liu Feng could easily win over Linghu Xiaoshan, Han Lan would probably regret not marrying Liu Feng after he wins a battle.

Originally, the emperor wanted to show off Liu Feng's strength in front of Han Qinghu and the court officials.

In this way, Liu Feng has control over Han Qinghu's descendants, and in the future, when Liu Feng takes control of the north, the Han family will not stand in his way.

But this time, Liu Feng's peace negotiation caught him somewhat off guard.

But this arrangement is just the right way to smooth things over.

After all, Liu Feng will have Han Qinghu's descendants under his control by then.

What else could Han Qinghu say?

We can't just abandon our granddaughter and grandson-in-law, can we?

After the court session ended, Linglong returned to her residence to rest.

Late at night in Beijing, at the headquarters of the Seven Star Building.

A figure quickly entered the Seven Star Tower.

The guard whispered something.

After that, the journey was smooth.

In the dimly lit room, the owner of the Seven Star Tower sat in the main seat, looking as if he were asleep.

However, the aura it exuded was so powerful that no one dared to approach it.

“Your son, Sun Dezhang, pays respects to his godfather.”

The building owner, Weiwei, looked up.

"De Zhang, what time is it? Why are you here at this hour?"

"Don't you know what's been going on lately?"

The building owner spoke weakly, but with a hint of reproach in his voice.

This old fellow is the leader of the Seven Star Tower. He looks like a sickly old man, but in reality, he is a first-rate master.

He adopted four sons, who all held important positions in the palace.

The only difference is that Sun Dezhang entered the palace after following the Grand Master.

He was originally a man with a family, a wife and children, but for the sake of making a living, he had no choice but to go out on business with the landlord.

He even offered up the heads of his wife and children, and his manhood, to show his loyalty.

This ruthlessness impressed the landlord, who then adopted him as his son.

He was also the only one of the four adopted sons who followed the landlord halfway through his life; the other three adopted sons were all adopted from a young age.

"The clothes... I have good news."

"This time, I guessed right."

In an instant, a light shone in the building owner's eyes. He suddenly looked up, and his aged face came back to life, and his sickly body was no longer hunched over.

"explain……."

The adopted sons of the building owner are all in the palace. They are placed in important positions in the palace, one next to the emperor and the other next to the empress.

When Sun Dezhang arrived, everything had already been arranged for him.

This guy is also the kind of person who works incredibly hard to climb the ladder.

He now holds a certain position in the palace, and has even adopted a son, whom he has placed in the Han family.

His adopted son is now the military commander under Lin Yuan, the son-in-law of the Han family. It can be said that nothing, big or small, in the Han family army can escape his eyes.

He did this because he realized that the Han family had no heir.

This son-in-law, who has married into the family, will inevitably inherit everything from the Han family in the future.

Just as the landlord had taught him, Sun Dezhang taught his adopted son to be patient, wait for the right opportunity, and wait for the day when Lin Yuan would become the head of the Han family.

The news he received in the palace this afternoon had not yet been confirmed when his adopted son sent word.

"Father, His Majesty has ordered Lin Yuan to serve as the vanguard general and lead the Han family army northward with Han Lan, recruiting soldiers along the way to annihilate Yanzhou."

"My adopted son will be setting off with the army tomorrow."

"According to his estimate, the recruitment of soldiers may take place in Youzhou."

"Send Lin Yuan to quell the rebellion in Yanzhou."

The building owner was somewhat incredulous.

At first, he was very reluctant to accept it, but after a moment's thought, he quickly figured out the crux of the problem.

"This general of the Tiger Roar Army is truly special in the Emperor's eyes."

Others might not be able to see the emperor's move clearly, but he could.

After all, it was Liu Yuan who discovered the tunnel in the first place.

This is why Qixinglou was constantly on the defensive.

Although the building owner did his best to clean up the mess, the emperor's trust in the Seven Star Tower was greatly diminished.

Although he is still the master of the Seven Star Tower, the emperor has appointed four other masters under him, each representing the east, west, south, and north.

This rendered his position as the building owner virtually meaningless.

Those four men were trained by the emperor's chief eunuch; they were ruthless and vicious, and were desperately gathering evidence to kill him.

If the four branch owners were to find fault with him, he would be doomed.

The emperor even promised that whoever was the first to obtain evidence proving his misconduct as the new owner of the Seven Star Tower would become the new owner of the Seven Star Tower.

He is now at a disadvantage in this game.

Even his adopted sons were looking for ways to protect themselves.

Right now, Sun Dezhang is the only one who is truly loyal to him.

"Okay, okay..."

The building owner burst into laughter.

"Go ahead, let your adopted son enter the palace temporarily. Your identities are called, go and kill Liu Feng."

"No matter what method you use, this revenge must be taken."

"This is also the key to our turnaround. If we succeed in this, you can have as much gold as you want, and even my position will be yours in the future."

However, Sun Dezhang looked troubled.

"Godfather, as you know, we don't have even a little bit of money. I'm afraid this matter will be difficult to handle."
