Furthermore, upon receiving news of Qin Silong’s victorious battle, the emperor in the capital was elated. Swiftly acknowledging the accomplishment, he bestowed numerous rewards upon Qin Silong.

In addition to elevating Qin Silong to the position of official head of commander, the emperor granted him a residence in the capital and gifted him two beauties as concubines. These rewards were promptly moved into Qin Silong’s new residence.

The emperor didn’t stop at these honors; he also sent valuable items to Su Bin’s residence in the capital. Unfazed by these actions, the Public House chose to turn a blind eye, understanding that the emperor sought to please Qin Zhenzhen and Su Bin, antic.i.p.ating their financial support.

This strategic move by the emperor was perceived by the Public House as somewhat naive. Aware that the emperor aimed to cultivate loyalty and grat.i.tude from Qin Silong and Su Ping, they recognized it as a subtle attempt to counterbalance the influence of the Public House.

Su Bin and Qin Zhenzhen, both astute individuals, understood that the emperor’s efforts to approach them were restricted under the Public House’s control. While there were concerns that the emperor might align with the Third Prince, a deeper a.n.a.lysis would reveal the impracticality of such a choice.

The Third Prince, even with the backing of the General Manor, lacked the strength to seize a prominent position. The intelligence displayed by Qin Silong on the battlefield could not be underestimated, and the Public House reluctantly acknowledged his role as a capable deputy general.

According to the reports from the military camp, the old general had dispatched individuals to investigate Qin Silong and Su Ping. The findings revealed nothing unusual or suspicious about them. The old general even a.s.serted that the military camp required brave generals like Qin Silong and Su Ping.

In response to this positive a.s.sessment, the Public House temporarily halted its persecution of Qin Silong and Su Ping. Simultaneously, they received Su Bin’s first memorial.

As antic.i.p.ated by Su Bin, the Public House suppressed the first memorial. Their strategy aimed to instill fear and regret in Su Bin, intending to make him seek reconciliation after enduring a year and a half. The Public House envisioned transferring Su Bin back to the capital for their purposes at that point.

Their primary interest lay in Qin Zhenzhen’s money-making abilities and the perceived notion that she was a harbinger of good luck. If they could bring her into their fold, they believed it would lead to significant accomplishments.

In their a.s.sessment, Su Bin’s intelligence and strategic prowess were secondary considerations. To achieve their goal of usurping the throne, a substantial financial investment would be required.

Confident in their control of the situation, the Public House was taken by surprise when they received Su Bin’s second memorial. Upon reading its contents, they burst into laughter—how could Su Bin invite the leader of the martial arts world, renowned sects, and martial arts heroes?

This time, the Public House decided not to suppress Su Bin’s memorial. Instead, they treated it as a lighthearted matter and allowed the emperor to peruse its contents.

After reading Su Bin’s memorial, the emperor was genuinely impressed by his strategic insights.

“Countier Su is truly astute to devise a plan that eliminates bandits without draining the country’s military and financial resources!”

Convinced of the need to support Su Bin, the emperor considered sending troops to aid him. Despite the Public House agreeing to deploy troops, they objected to dispatching forces from the nearest military camp.

“Your Majesty, the bandits around Shanglin Prefecture pose limited threats. At most, they venture out of the mountains to pilfer necessities for their daily survival.”

“Furthermore, their expertise in mountainous terrain makes it challenging to capture them swiftly. If we encircle them with troops, it might take a year or two to apprehend them..”
