CHAPTER 488: CHAPTER 484: DON’T LIKE IT? NO PROBLEM, I HAVE ANOTHER DAUGHTER_2

"Are you not used to having this old man hold your hand while walking?"

Han Xu Yang turned back with an odd smile, his somewhat aged and weary face showing a mischievous grin like that of a child as he chuckled, "If you want to change someone, I don’t mind having Qingxue walk this path with you... as this is your glory, but it must be accompanied by someone from the Han Clan. Only then am I reluctantly agreeable, but I’m old, and I probably don’t come together as beautifully as you golden couple do."

Xu Lingjun: "Your Majesty, you are joking..."

"I am not joking. You’ve been a good son-in-law, something I decided a long time ago. Xiaocheng throws a tantrum with me, unwilling for Qingxue to ascend the throne. He says that you stand on his side too... I understand what he means. If Qingxue truly ascends the throne, Xiaocheng probably wouldn’t have a good ending. So I’ve been thinking of compensating Qingxue somehow, and unquestionably, you are the best compensation, as that girl does have quite a good impression of you."

Han Xu Yang sighed, "You and Xiaocheng are as close as two people can be. If you could be with Qingxue, it might also ease the relationship between them as siblings."

Xu Lingjun explained, "Your Majesty, I have no intention of factional disputes."

"But if they truly have a conflict, you will surely stand on Xiaocheng’s side."

Han Xu Yang chuckled, "Being young is good, not considering interests, only likes and dislikes. As long as the relationship is good, you will stand by his side without hesitation, regardless of who the opponent is, instead of like us, always calculating gains and losses before doing anything, thus losing the most sincere emotions."

He sighed, "Being like this is good, young people with plenty of drive and less sophistication, it’s good... Impulsiveness is your right, and I also allow you to be impulsive."

Xu Lingjun said no more.

He felt as if Han Xu Yang was complaining to him... rather than speaking to him.

They walked all the way.

Listening to this Majesty’s ramblings all the way.

When they reached the end.

Within the palace, the commanders of the Nine Major Military Regions had all gathered here.

Fang Lie, Xu Liang, Bai Yunrui, Hao Yuntun, Lin Jing, and others all had smiles on their faces... looking at the greatest hero of this war!

They had all risked their lives in this war.

But the extermination of the Chi Yu mysterious clan, just this one merit, made none of them even think of vying for credit... even Bai Yunrui felt that way.

When Xu Lingjun saw the conferral of rewards, he couldn’t help but be shocked.

Those Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, elixirs, and Spirit Liquid were not even worth mentioning as they were commonplace.

But the actual conferral of rank...

Xu Lingjun was credited for exterminating the Chi Yu mysterious clan, appointed as Commander in Chief of the Polar Star Battlefield, overseeing the Nine Major Military Regions, as the highest command of the Polar Star Battlefield.

At the issuance of this decree, not to mention others, even Xu Lingjun couldn’t help but be stunned.

This reward...isn’t it a bit too enormous?

Polar Star Battlefield, Nine Major Military Regions.

Each has a commander.

Each district always habitually called their commander the Commander in Chief because this commander indeed manages all affairs of the district. So, whether called Commander or Commander in Chief, it makes no difference.

Just like how no one dares to call the Deputy Director as the Director in front of the Director.

Now, these commanders cannot self-proclaim as Commanders in Chief anymore.

Because the Polar Star Battlefield now has a true Commander in Chief overseeing the entire military, the Nine Great Commanders are all generals under his command and at his disposal.

This is tantamount to placing the entire Polar Star Battlefield in Xu Lingjun’s hands.

This time, Xu Lingjun couldn’t help but be stunned...

He turned to look at those commanders who had been serving in their respective districts for years, and now, His Majesty appointed someone directly over them as a superior.

He thought these people might have objections, but who knew they all wore smiles...

Hao Yuntun, familiar with Xu Lingjun, even laughed and said, "Commander in Chief, we are all your soldiers now, and in the future, you must treat us equally. Before coming back, we specifically visited the Qisha Military District, those marvelous weapons... however much there is in the Qisha Military District, we want just as much."

Lin Jing also laughed, "The master’s wife may no longer be here, but I’m your natal family. If you dare to wrong me... believe it or not, I’ll speak ill of you in front of Jingjun?"

Although others weren’t too familiar with Xu Lingjun, they had some interactions.

They each laughed and said fairness must prevail, and personal relationships should not affect justice...

Xu Lingjun suddenly realized.

The Polar Star Battlefield may have the Nine Major Military Regions, but in fact, the commanders of the nine regions have different focuses, just like during a major battle, Bai Yunrui is the general commander, which will never change.

And Hao Yuntun, being the strongest, is the military power of the nine commanders, naturally charging ahead in battles.

Lin Jing has many clever strategies in response, so she generally helps Bai Yunrui to remedy inadequacies...

The Nine Great Commanders, each with their own focus.

Now, though an additional commander was appointed.

It’s only more of a nominal head, but it has no impact on their actual authority, and instead brings many benefits. At least, they can rightfully seek equal treatment for their district as with the Qisha Military District.

One must know that the Research Department established by Zhanzheng Academy is under Xu Lingjun’s control.

And in just a short span of two years, they eliminated the Chi Yu mysterious clan.

The power of those weapons made these commanders not care even if they had one more superior, let alone multiple bosses... they would relish it as much as they could...
