These words were spoken.
In an instant, the building owner was so angry that he almost fainted.
He had assumed that Sun Dezhang was completely loyal to him.
Unexpectedly, his purpose in doing all this was money.
"Okay, okay."
The building owner clenched his fists.
"Alright, I'll give you ten thousand taels of silver."
"If you succeed in this matter, I will give you ten thousand taels of gold, or even more, when you return."
In the past, countless people would have been willing to risk their lives for him, but he wouldn't have even looked down on them.
Let alone asking for money, it's more like giving him money as a form of filial piety.
Now that his empire is on the verge of collapse, even a scoundrel like Sun Dezhang dares to come to his door and haggle with him.
"Godfather, ten thousand taels of silver is a lot, but I'm afraid it's not enough."
Although Sun Dezhang was still kneeling and had his head down, his tone of voice was unusually cold.
He accurately grasped the landlord's psychology. The landlord was now thinking about making a comeback and killing Liu Feng to avenge himself.
Even if he can't make a comeback, killing Liu Feng would allow him to die in peace.
Therefore, the building owner had no choice.
But when he initially clung to the powerful landlord, he must have paid a heavy price.
Giving him such a small amount of money right now is like asking him to risk his life; it's not worth it.
How much do you want?
The building owner looked at Sun Dezhang kneeling below and asked.
"Fifty thousand taels of silver."
Thirty thousand.
"Godfather, deal."
If he gave too much, he worried that Sun Dezhang would take the money and not do anything, instead finding a place to live the life of a wealthy man. If he gave too little, he was afraid that Sun Dezhang would just go through the motions and not do anything at all.
The building owner, who had been sitting at the pinnacle of power for too long, was now in this predicament.
After Sun Dezhang left with the silver notes, angry curses and the sound of things being smashed immediately came from inside the room.
"I'm so angry!"
"You bunch of ingrates."
"If it weren't for me back then, would you be where you are today?"
"You will all die a horrible death."
A few days later, Lin Yuan's army arrived at Tianyong City.
They began recruiting soldiers in Tianyong City and throughout Youzhou.
News of Lin Yuan's army's arrival had already reached Liu Feng's ears through scouts.
"Lin Yuan, who is he?"
"I have never heard of a general named Lin Yuan in the Dali court."
Liu Feng frowned and looked at Ma Gaole, who came from the Xuanwu Armor.
Upon receiving this news, Liu Feng's first action was to convene a meeting with all his subordinates.
Ma Gaole was undoubtedly the most experienced among Liu Feng's men, after all, he served as a lieutenant general in the Xuanwu Armor.
He immediately stepped forward to explain.
However, Ma Gaole's evaluation of Lin Yuan was rather mediocre.
He lacks everything; his martial arts skills are mediocre, his military strategy is mediocre, and his ability to lead troops in battle is even more so.
Liu Feng was puzzled.
Even if the emperor felt that he was outnumbered and wanted to use the imperial army to deal with the Heaven and Earth Society, he should have sent a reliable general.
Why was someone like this chosen to deal with the Heaven and Earth Society?
Nobody can understand this.
"Was this decision made by the emperor himself?"
"Any other news besides this?"
Everyone shook their heads.
"So, is there any new information from the southern battlefield right now?"
"The imperial court dispatched Shangguan Jie as the second-in-command to lead the army on the expedition."
Ma Gaole then offered an explanation.
Liu Feng calculated the time. Logically speaking, Princess Linglong should have returned to the court long ago. Why didn't the emperor listen to his advice?
It seems that the South is bound to suffer a major defeat this time, and one of the Shangguan family, father and son, will likely be killed.
Liu Feng frowned deeply. He was genuinely worried that Linghu Xiaoshan was leading her troops alone in battle at the border between the south and Jingnan.
Hopefully, Linghu Xiaoshan won't be dragged into this this time.
"Get me paper and pen."
What a foolish woman! Back when you were in the palace, even if you refused the emperor, he wouldn't dare refuse to release you.
He insisted on leading a large army south to fight the enemy.
She's made me worry about her. When I see her, I'll make sure she doesn't get out of bed for half a month as punishment.
Liu Feng simply wrote a letter, had someone send it out, and waved his hand.
"Alright, let's not rush to continue training for the time being."
"We must hurry up and improve the quality of the new recruits, and we must also speed up the training of the officers."
"It seems we'll have to go to Yanzhou together with the pacification army."
"ah?"
Since I was startled.
Although there was no imperial edict, Liu Feng had already thought things through.
Liu Feng already understood what the emperor was thinking.
The key reason why this army chose such a general is itself.
In the end, you will be the one who commands the army.
However, Liu Feng still had many things to do before the army set off.
The first thing to do is to take the time to test out my red cannon.
It took Zhang Tiechui a lot of effort to make this thing.
However, since it's just the beginning of the experiment, the cannons Liu Feng had cast all have very small calibers.
It's like a mortar from the future; you can put it on the ground and use it.
One is a hand cannon, specially designed with shotgun shells, which soldiers can fire in unison to inflict widespread casualties on the enemy.
Of course, both versions of the cannon were designed by Liu Feng, but they were not mass-produced.
They only cast a simple prototype.
