"It's just that Marquis Lehmann's ambition is not small."

White then showed an intriguing smile and said slowly: "In order to maximize his own interests, he actually poisoned Count Hogan."

"The chess piece is disobedient, do you want me to teach him a lesson?" A sharp look flashed in Ye Mei's eyes.

"No." White shook his head, "Marquis Lyman played a huge role in the war between me and the eldest brother for the throne. He should be allowed to take the majority of the profits. Otherwise, other nobles will not be willing to do it for me if they see how stingy I am.

work."

"Are we just going to let him go like this?" Ye Mei frowned in displeasure.

"That's definitely not possible."

Now, Marquis Lyman will still obey White's orders obediently.

But if the power of the Lyman family is allowed to continue to expand, then the northern territory will all be decided by Marquis Lyman, and White's words may not work.

What's more, this person has great ambitions. If he gets the chance, he might declare the independence of the Northern Territory and establish a country, and proclaim himself king.

A similar incident had happened before in the Kingdom of Dawn. The king at that time had to lead an army to attack the duke who claimed the throne, and a civil war broke out.

Thinking of this, White's eyes gradually turned cold.

"I will vigorously support another family in the north, and let that family slowly fight with the Lyman family, thereby weakening the strength of the Lyman family in the north."

"His Majesty's idea is still great, and Ye Mei admires it deeply." Ye Mei said in admiration.

"You." White stretched out his hand and touched Ye Mei's nose, "You only know how to do assassinations, but you're not very good at other things."

"Your Majesty, you can't say that."

As soon as she heard this, Ye Mei immediately became unhappy.

"Besides assassination, can't I also serve you obediently?"

While saying this, Ye Mei kept squirming her waist and buttocks, causing White to react from the friction.

"Oh! Hiss——"

White suddenly picked up Ye Mei and pressed her on the table in front of him, with a wicked smile on his face.

"You started this first, so it's not up to me. I'm going to do it here now!"

After saying that, he started to take off Ye Mei's clothes frantically.

…

Both the Western and Northern Territories have been taken care of by White, and now we can start to deal with the Eastern Territory.

Linshui City and Dongsheng Fortress, the nobles in these two places are so courageous that they dare to form a joint army to attack Jinwei City from behind. White will not spare them.

In fact, after Legovis was executed, the lords of both places sent urgent letters, stating that they were willing to be loyal to White and would personally come to deliver gifts and apologize during the enthronement ceremony.

Good guy, first I stabbed you secretly in the back, and now I say I am willing to be your subordinate, why are you jumping around so much?

This is really a good plan. Will White agree? Definitely not.

Therefore, White decided to personally lead his army to the east and teach Linshui City and Dongsheng Fortress a profound lesson.

Only in this way can the nobles in the East understand one thing, that is, those who rebel against White will never end well.

There are two routes to march out.

One is on land, first assemble the army in Jinweicheng, and then march eastward.

The other is on the water, with a fleet of more than ten warships sailing eastward along the Weishui River.

Since marching by boat on the water is faster than on land, the army on land needs to set off first.

Naturally, White chose the water route. He would board a warship later and personally lead his troops on the expedition.

Knowing that White has sent an army to march eastward, the nobles of Linshui City and Dongsheng Fortress will definitely be as anxious as ants on a hot pot.

White was somewhat looking forward to this. He didn't know what actions the nobles in the two places would take to prove that they were loyal to him when the army arrived.

The first stop is Linshui City.

After several days of sailing, White's fleet arrived successfully.

After meeting up with the marching troops on land, we learned that most of the soldiers were stationed on the outskirts of Linshui City, and a small team had already entered the city.

Oh? Did the other side just surrender without even starting a fight?

White simply sent a soldier to inform Linshui City that he had arrived and would come out to greet him immediately.

When they heard that White was coming, the nobles of Linshui City all started to get busy with their hearts in their throats and went out of the city gate to meet the new king.

At the gate of the west city, White met Knight Lingfeng and a large number of nobles who looked a little strange.

A middle-aged nobleman hurriedly walked to the front of the team, touched his chest and saluted White.

"Welcome His Majesty the King to Linshui City."

"Welcome to His Majesty the King."

The nobles behind also saluted and greeted him in unison.

"Who are you? I shouldn't have seen you before."

White had met Earl David, the lord of Linshui City, but he did not recognize the person in front of him.

"Oh! I'm rude, Your Majesty." The middle-aged noble said apologetically, "I am Viscount Munster."

"Oh? It was you who came out to greet me? Where is Earl David?"

"How can a sinner who has committed the heinous crime of treason have the right to come out to greet His Majesty?"

Viscount Munster first looked very contemptuous, belittling the lord of Linshui City, and then gave an explanation.

"Your Majesty, Earl David has been imprisoned by us and will be handed over to you for your disposal later."

Interestingly, Earl David was betrayed by the Linshui City nobles and was arrested before he arrived. White thought this was really funny.

"This saves me a lot of trouble, which is good." White praised.

"Not only that, we also arrested all the nobles who agreed to support the eldest prince and handed them over to His Majesty."

"Oh?" White glanced at Viscount Munster, "Well done."

Taking advantage of White's good mood, Viscount Munster must seize the opportunity and strike while the iron is hot.

He immediately knelt down on one knee and bowed his head deeply, showing great respect for the new king.

"Your Majesty, you are the successor to the throne designated by the late king. We are absolutely loyal to you and dare not have any second thoughts."

"We are all loyal to His Majesty without any second thoughts."

The nobles behind him also knelt on one knee and couldn't wait to express their loyalty to White.

Are these nobles in front of me really loyal? It's hard to say.

However, White has seen their full desire to survive.

Even Earl David was betrayed and arrested by his nobles. White's purpose of coming to Linshui City this time was half accomplished.

Things went so smoothly, and White was naturally in a very happy mood.

"Everyone, get up." He said to the nobles in front of him, "I have felt your loyalty. Now, can I go into the city to judge Earl David and others?"

"sure."

Viscount Munster quickly stood up, turned around and urged the nobles behind him: "Get up quickly, your Majesty is about to enter the city!"
