If the two sons of the Marquis Mansion were killed in the hunting grounds, Marquis Zhenbei would surely retaliate like a fierce beast, implicating the entire family, unless they could do it silently.
How is that possible!
Killing such a renowned Great General, how could it be done in silence.

"I accept the order!" Zhang Bolan kowtowed heavily, "Ready to sacrifice my life."
Lin Cheng also kowtowed, and the Crown Prince bent down to help them up, smiling gently, "You are both my trusted aides. Once I ascend the throne, you will be my trusted ministers as well."
