Nobles with higher titles may not necessarily be able to defeat those with lower titles, but nobles with more money and wider connections will definitely be able to win the war.??????

As one of the ten great dukes of the Shaodian Kingdom, the Jiang family is related by marriage to many great nobles. Fighting aristocratic wars with his family and defrauding the Cai family in Zhucheng City, even if they are 10,000 times richer, will be in vain.
The winner of the Noble War has the right to file a claim against the losing party, and the amount of compensation is limited to ten times the war losses. Therefore, once the Noble War breaks out, both sides will spare no effort to build and invite armies. Anyway, as long as they win, their losses will be covered.
Get it back tenfold.
Of course, the scale of a war is often limited by the weaker party's ability to pay compensation.
The cities of Shaodian Kingdom are divided into three levels: upper city, middle city, and lower city. The Cai family can be assigned to Kengzhu City, which is the upper city of Pingzhong County as their own territory. There are people behind the family to support them, but they have to fight with Jiang
A war breaks out between the nobles, and this backstage will definitely not help the Cai family.
The Cai family vs. the Jiang family, the first-class viscount of the kingdom vs. the first-class duke of the kingdom, a city with a population of 200,000 vs. a whole county with a population of several million, you can think about it with your heels and you will know who can win.
"Wait a minute, lie! This is the most shameless lie. You can't believe this despicable deacon Wu. He is just a small deacon under me. How could I arrange for him to do such a thing?" Cai Ying could not care about herself.
It's a matter of face, and we absolutely cannot have any involvement in the murder of Ding Kui.
Deacon Wu is now in the hands of Jiang Nan, and robbery is obviously impossible. As for why Deacon Wu framed himself, that can only be figured out later. The most important thing right now is to defend himself clearly, and cannot let him
The Jiang family's reason for starting the war is established.
"Lies? If it weren't for your arrangement, Lord City Lord, how could I have given three hundred thousand gold coins to the big boss of Funiu Mountain? I won't be able to get this money even if I work all my life." Deacon Wu is determined to get it.
Pull Cai Ying into the water.
"Fart, who knows where you got this money? Maybe you misappropriated the funds of the horse racing company, and Ding Kui is my son Cai Gang's junior brother. They are from the same school. How could I let someone murder my son?
Where are your senior brothers?
Cai Gang is still training with Baron Luji in Xiaxi Town. That is the headquarters of the Ding family. How dare I leave my son there?" After calming down, Cai Ying began to look for loopholes in the matter.
"Obviously you are the one who asked me to be more clean with my hands and feet and not reveal the relationship between the Cai family and this matter. Now that Mr. Jiang has come to find me, I dare not hide anything." This Cao State spy clearly wants to bite Cai Ying.
A piece of meat.
The more Cai Ying thought about it, the more she felt that something was fishy. Why would Deacon Wu, who was so good, throw dirty water on himself?
He jumped off the horse, threw away the whip, walked to Jiang Nan, stood still and said: "The Cai family, the Jiang family, and the Ding family have never had any grudges and have never interacted with each other. Ding Kui is still an official of the imperial court. Why should I risk harm?"
He must have another conspiracy in this."
Jiang Nan actually knew that the matter was not that simple. There were obviously many doubts that were difficult to explain, but he just needed an excuse to complete the task of establishing his authority arranged by Jiang Tong.
Cai Ying had obviously given up. Jiang Nan pretended to follow Cai Ying's words and pretended to think seriously.
"This Deacon Wu came to Kengzhu City more than 20 years ago with the caravan from outside. Now that I think about his origin, it is very suspicious. Otherwise, let me interrogate him, and I will definitely get to the bottom of it." Hard.
If it doesn't work, then give it a try. Cai Ying hates Deacon Wu so much.
"No! I want to take this man back and hand him over to the Duke. The Lord Protector has also instructed me to do so. Take him down first." Jiang Nan has achieved his goal and does not want to keep Deacon Wu here to continue to stimulate Cai Ying. If
If there is a conflict, it will be difficult to deal with him if you accidentally kill him.
Just as Deacon Wu was being brought back to the carriage house, an army surrounded the carriage house from all directions and completely surrounded the carriage house in Kengzhu City.
Cai Ying turned around and saw that it was his younger brother, Cai Jie, the commander of the city defense army, who arrived at the carriage house with nearly a brigade of about 800 city defense troops.
He suddenly decided that even if he killed all his subordinates, he would keep Deacon Wu and clarify the matter. As long as he proved that he was not involved in the murder of Ding Kui, Jiang Tong would have no sufficient reason to start a noble war.
"Captain Jiang still insists on going his own way. It seems that I have to leave Captain Jiang as a guest in Kengzhu City. I will report the matter to Pingzhong County Sheriff and ask Lord Teng to come forward to investigate the matter. I will definitely give Old Duke Jiang a
Explain." Cai Ying played the trick of procrastination.
If he couldn't resist, he would drag the county guard into trouble. It was the county guard's responsibility to take care of matters that happened on the ground of Pingzhong County.
"Oh? The city lord wants to force us to stay, but I don't know if Kengzhu City has the strength." Jiang Nanang stood upright and looked at the city defense troops brought by Cai Jie with disdain.
"Haha, young people have such a strong tone. Kengzhu City is not a place where you can come and leave whenever you want." An old voice sounded behind Cai Ying.
"Fifth Grandpa, your old man is here." Cai Ying respectfully saluted the old man who came from behind him.
The person who came was covered in dark red Dou Qi armor and was holding a two-foot-long gold dragon tail gun. His face was old and his body was slightly stooped, but his spirit was still strong. He walked steadily in front of Jiang Nan.
He is Cai Ting, the fifth brother of Grandpa Cai Ying. He is now eighty-five years old. He is an early fearless knight and the only remaining fifth-level combatant in the Cai family.
Jiang Nan's eyes narrowed. There were also level 5 masters in Kengzhu City. Although he was too old, he could definitely have the upper hand, but a squadron of shield-breaking knights under him had faced a large group of troops, and the outcome was still a matter of uncertainty.
.
Cai Ting is Cai Ying's support. Keeping Deacon Wu behind can still save a certain amount of face. If Jiang Nan is allowed to take him away easily, how will he be able to raise his head and meet people in the aristocratic circle of Pingzhong County in the future.
Although both sides were at war with each other, neither side was fully sure of suppressing their opponents and were unwilling to fight. Once they started fighting, the situation would be difficult to control and casualties could not be avoided. The situation was deadlocked, and both sides became a little impatient.
A guard of the Cai family squeezed through the crowd, found Cai Ying, and stepped forward to report: "Ding Kun, the steward of the Marquis of Protector's Mansion, has come to see the Lord of the City."
"Steward of the Ding Mansion? Humph, the Protector of the State is so arrogant, did you send a steward to protest against me? Just say that I have important matters to deal with, but he is gone!" Cai Ying frowned and replied impatiently to the bodyguard.
Seeing the other party's reaction, Jiang Nan smiled. If any of the Ding family members came, his mission would be successfully completed.
Cai Ying was not familiar with the military and did not understand the details of the tragedy that year. He did not know Ding Kun's strength. It was just a mistake on his part that put him in a more passive situation.
His personal guards obviously did not kill the housekeeper from Ding Mansion, and the encirclement of the city defense army suddenly became chaotic.
A group of people formed an arrow-shaped formation and slowly cut in from the perimeter of the encirclement near the city gate.
Ding Kun exuded a fierce murderous aura and rushed towards the crowd blocking him. The soldiers standing in front of him could not bear the murderous aura and retreated one after another.
Ten shield-breaking knights brandished long swords that emitted red sword light, and were arranged on both wings of the team. The soldiers who were forced to retreat with murderous intent did not dare to resist the sharpness of the sword light.
Ten trapped warriors lined up in two lines, supporting a young man and following closely behind Ding Kun.
The young man in the center of the team was wearing a black mage robe with a gold edge sewn on the cuffs. Above his right hand there was a fist-sized fireball flying in the air.
The soldiers around believed that as long as the young man made a move, the flying fireball would hit his head.
Seeing this team entering the encirclement, Cai Ying's eyes widened.
How powerful is Weizhi that he can push away the crowd with just his momentum? Behind him are knights and warriors, all of whom are around 30 or 40 years old. Looking at their formation and coordination in their march,
All of them are warriors who have experienced hundreds of battles.
The young man in the middle is even more terrifying. The gold rim on his sleeves proves that he is a robed mage. This is someone who is hard to get no matter how much money you spend.
"City Lord Cai is so impressive. I came to see him but was turned away. Those who didn't know thought there was a Duke living in Kengzhu City." Ding Kun is a man who has seen the world, and the little Viscount won't give him face.
, he will not be polite at all.
"I am the lord of a city. I have to deal with many important matters on weekdays. Today I have to entertain distinguished guests. Didn't the Lord Protector teach you to do as you please? People in the Ding family like to force their way in?" Cai Ying
Being repeatedly despised, I felt very aggrieved. If I hadn't seen Ding Kun's unfathomable strength, he would have had someone take him down long ago.
"Back then, I went on errands with the old Marquis. I went to the houses of many dukes and princes, and there was no one I couldn't meet. Even the little Viscount City Lord didn't need me to meet him. Even if I return to the old house now, my young master's official position is still there.
I'm half a level above you, and I'm very honest, so who can you compare to?" When it came to the Ding family, the old housekeeper became adamant.
Ding Dao used to be the commander-in-chief of the staff department. As Ding Dao's personal bodyguard and housekeeper, Ding Kun was at least a director-level official, and his status was one level higher than Cai Ying.
"You!" Cai Ying's mind went blank for a moment, her throat seemed to be stuck, and she couldn't say anything.
"Jiang Nan, why are you here? Why did they surround you?" After choking Cai Ying, Ding Kun asked Jiang Nan.
"Steward Ding, you came just in time. I caught the mastermind who colluded with Funiu Mountain. According to his confession, City Master Cai was behind it, but City Master Cai denied it and wanted to take the mastermind back." Jiang Nan gave Ding Kun a brief summary.
Things have been said once.
"I see, Cai Ying, I think you have a guilty conscience and don't dare to see my Ding family members. If you don't explain this matter clearly today, I will demolish your city lord's mansion!" Ding Kun's face darkened and he turned towards Cai Ying.
Ying took a step forward, and a strong murderous aura rushed straight towards Cai Ying.
