Wei An paused for a moment before speaking loudly, "Your Majesty, I recommend the Fourth Prince. His swordsmanship is unparalleled, and he possesses great strategy; he is indeed the best candidate!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhen couldn't help but furrow his brows slightly.
Lin Zheng, who had been standing silently beside him, wore a puzzled expression and thought to himself, This matter was not discussed with me beforehand.
Meanwhile, Lin Feng, standing to one side, felt his lips twitch uncontrollably. He inwardly lamented, My swordsmanship is indeed impressive, but how did Wei An perceive that I have any strategic insight? Is he trying to set me up?
After a moment of silence, Lin Zhen turned to the assembled ministers and slowly asked, "What do you all think, my my loyal ministers?"
The ministers aligned with the Crown Prince immediately understood the unspoken cue. They exchanged glances and then stood up one after another, unanimously recommending Lin Feng.
In an instant, praises filled the court.
However, Lin Zhen's expression darkened. He thought to himself: Just recently, I issued an edict to arrange a marriage for the Fourth Prince. If these people are now recommending him for a military campaign in the northern deserts, wouldn't that delay his wedding? What are their true intentions?
At that moment, Xia Yuanji also spoke up. "Your Majesty, I too recommend the Fourth Prince."
Hearing this, Lin Zhen's expression softened considerably.
"Very well," he declared. "I appoint Lin Feng as the Zhengbei General; he shall lead the troops soon."
With the decree issued, it could not be changed.
Lin Feng stepped forward and said, " Your son will certainly not fail in this mission."
Thus, the decision regarding Wu Kingdom's military deployment was tentatively settled in the court.
After leaving the court, Lin Feng made his way back to his residence.
At this time, in the Crown Prince's Residence...
"Wei An, what do you mean by this? Are you really going to give him military power?"
"Your Highness," Wei An replied smoothly, "this makes things simpler. We just need to place some spies within the army and take care of him from outside."
Lin Zheng understood but said nothing further.
In the living room of Xia Yuanji's home, Lin Feng stood there, feeling a mix of anticipation and frustration. "Are you still my future father-in-law? I'm about to marry Xia Qingyu, and you want me to lead troops now?"
Xia Yuanji looked at Lin Feng, remaining silent.
"What are you thinking, old man?"
"Fourth Prince, mind your words!"
Xia Yuanji snorted coldly and replied, "All you think about is marrying a wife!"
After a brief pause, he continued, "I've thought this through carefully. This will be beneficial for you. Once you establish yourself, your prestige will rise both in the military and in court."
"Oh, I see. You truly have my best interests at heart, esteemed father-in-law."
"I'm not your father-in-law yet."
Xia Qingyu, upon hearing that Lin Feng had arrived, hurriedly came out of her room and into the living room. She quickly instructed the servants to prepare tea and then brought it over herself.
"Fourth Prince, please enjoy some tea."
After serving Lin Feng, Xia Yuanji couldn't help but feel a bit restless at the sight of his daughter. "Daughter, you're not married yet! Your father is here; serve me first!"
"Yes, Father."
Once Xia Qingyu had served the tea, she stepped aside.
Lin Feng watched her retreating figure with admiration.
"Hey, don’t stare; there will be plenty of time for that later."
After chatting for a while longer, Lin Feng took his leave.
