If it weren't for Shen Yanxiao, not even a single soldier from the Four Kingdoms Alliance would have survived. The news brought by the returning soldiers made the leaders of the Four Kingdoms think deeply, did they really do something wrong this time?
The Broken Star Palace, which incited them to attack the Desolate Land, looked on with cold eyes and did not lend a helping hand at all.
In times of crisis, it is their enemies who give them a glimmer of hope.
Such a thing is really ridiculous to say.
The king of Lan Yue Dynasty was not as greedy as the emperor of Longxuan Empire. A large part of the reason why he agreed to Broken Star Palace's request was because of the pressure from the lords.
The system of the Lanyue Dynasty is different from that of the Longxuan Empire. This is a country where noble blood is the highest symbol.
The highest authority is the king, followed by the prince.
There are four princes in the Lanyue Dynasty, each of whom holds military power. Even the king cannot ignore their opinions too much. These princes are all nobles who have existed since the establishment of the Lanyue Dynasty. They have the second-largest military power. The power of the king and the position of the prince can be inherited by his heirs, so over thousands of years, the power accumulated in the hands of these princes has become somewhat difficult for the king to control.
Below the prince are the dukes, then the marquis, earls, viscounts, barons, and knights.
Almost every lord has his own territory and army. They allocate cities and land in their respective territories. They only need to pay taxes to the country regularly. Their army is also under their own command, and it is difficult for the king to mobilize it. .
When the Broken Star Palace came to provoke, all the lords from earl to above were present. Before the kingdom had time to express its stance, the four princes had already expressed their agreement hurriedly.
As far as the king himself was concerned, he did not want to wade into this muddy water at all.
It's a pity that he can't be as supreme as the Longxuan Empire.
After returning from the war, the Lanyue Dynasty suffered heavy losses. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers were all mobilized by various lords. Not to mention that the king felt distressed, they themselves felt distressed as well.
Now that Qu Rui wants to kill the soldiers who finally escaped, these lords are naturally not happy.
You, me, are just a little marquis. If you die, you will die. You still want to drag our soldiers into the water, where is the coolness?
No one would sympathize with Qu Xun's death, and these people had privately begun to discuss how to divide the several cities and territories owned by Qu Xun.
"Qu Rui, please go back first." The king rubbed his temples. There were too many things to be busy with during this period. Listening to Qu Rui crying here all day long, his brain was about to explode.
Qu Rui refused to give up, almost rolling around in the hall, and everyone kept rolling their eyes.
"Master Qu Rui, you are as messy as ever. It seems that you have not made any progress at all in such a long time." A voice full of laughter suddenly came from outside the hall.
Everyone in the hall looked outside the hall in surprise.
All he saw was an alluring girl standing outside the hall with a smile on her face. Behind her, the stern-faced young man put down the guard whose neck he had just broken.
Everyone gasped. When did these two people break into the hall? Why were there no guards to stop them?
"Someone is coming! There is an assassin!" a Duke shouted.
Unfortunately, none of the guards came from outside. If they walked outside the hall at this time, they would find corpses lying on the ground.
