Chapter 274: Leaving (2/2)
The Blazing Flame Marquis’ branch was marginalized, sent to far off branches, or sent into the army.
The past twenty eight year old Nangong Yi had pretty good talent, but he couldn’t even become an elder.With his branch family status, he did not attract the Departing Flame Marquis’ attention. The reason why Nangong Yi was unlucky enough to be exiled could be because of Nangong Yun.
After all, Nangong Yun’s talent was just too strong.
The Burning Sun Ruler was already a hundred years old and only the Departing Flame Marquis could uphold the family flag after him.After debating the pros and cons, he chose to keep one eye closed. As long as things didn’t go too far, he would not ask about it.
“Truly funny!”Chu Tian finished hearing Nangong Yun’s explanation, “This Burning Sun Ruler is truly old and foolish.Nangong Yun has a God Level Source Spirit, but was pushed away instead of nurtured, this is truly laughable!”
Chen Bingyu gently said, “After all, the Departing Flame Marquis is his blood related son and Nangong Yun was born to a branch family.The Burning Sun Ruler is not a sage, he would still have a bit of selfishness.”
This was also right.
“Do you understand!”Nangong Yun drank several cups of wine and her head felt a bit dizzy as she angrily slapped the table, “After ten years, not many people of the Blazing Flame Marquis’ branch are left!The Nangong Family has been weakened by infighting and now even the damn Shangguan Family are stronger than us!”
The Dongfang Family had risen up during the crisis, fighting off the invaders and keeping half of the kingdom’s territory.
The Nangong Family had countless generals, galloping across the battlefields, performing distinguished merits for the Southern Summer Country.
What did the Shangguan Family have?What qualification did they have to be one of the Three Great Clans!
The Shangguan Family were diplomats and internal affair ministers.When the Great Summer Country was destroyed, the Great Hound Country could sweep through them, but the Shangguan Family interfered.They instigated arguments between War Hound tribes, creating internal friction and also united all the large and small families of the Great Summer Country.
Solidifying the country as a whole.
The internal frictions of the War Hound Plain was mostly caused by the Shangguan Family.Moreover, the Shangguan Family’s business was very valuable, creating relations with the other countries and races, providing help for the Southern Summer Country at a critical time.
In summary.
The Three Great Clans obtained their current statuses a long time ago.
From Nangong Yun’s words, Chu Tian could determine the general situation with the Imperial City.
As for the conflict between large families, Chu Tian snorted with disdain.But entering this group, he had to make preparations.
Because South Sky City’s resources were too barren, making Nangong Yun’s progress very slow.However, her sudden increase in cultivation recently should attract the Departing Flame Marquis’ attention.
The Departing Flame Marquis trying to annex Miracle Commerce was mainly to stop the path for the rise of the Nangong father and daughter.Although he had failed, he would surely think of another method just in case.
Forget it!
Chu Tian had already offended the Southern Summer King and the Refined Ruler, what was an extra Departing Flame Marquis?
Didn’t they see the Divine Wind Marquis become Chu Tian’s subordinate and the Golden Arrow Marquis becoming Chu Tian’s blade?As for the Western Marquis, he was also a noble family marquis, but wasn’t he caught by Chu Tian in the end!
Nangong Yun looked at Chu Tian, “Boss, will you go against the Nangong Family?”
“Do you want me to?”
“Why are you asking this?”
“If you want to go against them, then I will help you teach the Nangong Family a lesson.Who told me to be a righteous boss? When the little brother is wronged, of course I will help you take action.”
Nangong Yun rolled her eyes at Chu Tian, “Look at how relaxed you are saying this.The Nangong Family is a giant beast, will you really annoy such a large beast for me?”Her mouth said this, but her heart was very happy. The boss really was a righteous person, she didn’t follow the wrong person!
Chu Tian only shook his head, “The Southern Summer Country is too small!”
It was very from Central State to Imperial City.Heading north along the Four States Lake was half the way and then they transferred to a river flowing north, heading to the Imperial Region.
The Southern Summer Country had a total of one region and eight counties.
The Imperial City was in the Imperial Region.The eight counties were: Central State, Thunder State, Southern State, Qing State, Cang State, Furnace State, Western State, and Northern State.
Each county had its own defining feature.Central State was in the center of the eight states, with an important position, being a key position for coordinating.Thunder State was the place to train, Southern State was the barrier against the barbarians, Qing State was the state for resources, and Cang State was where horses were produced.For the Azure Storm Colts of the Storm Cavalry, they were all produced from Cang State……
To the Southern Summer Country, each county was very important.
So they had to send someone with enough prestige and trust to guard them.The Southern Summer Eight Marquises weren’t just the strongest, they also had to meet a standard for merits and prestige, before they were qualified to become marquises.
This was also why the Southern Summer King was dissatisfied with Chu Tian controlling Central State alone.
The Southern Summer King could tolerate Chu Tian hurting the envoy, Chu Tian destroying the three great families, and Chu Tian being unruly, but he couldn’t tolerate Chu Tian ruling with the might of a prestige without the title of a marquis.
Chu Tian coming to Imperial City this time wasn’t a question of if he wanted to or not, he had no choice but to go.
“Chairman!”An elite member of the Giant Shark Gang came in, “I’m afraid we’ll have to change courses.”
Chu Tian asked in a curious voice, “Why?”
“We planned on entering the canal on the border of Cang State and the Imperial Region and then proceeding to Imperial City by land, but the situation ahead has changed.There has been a series of murders in Cang State that has caused a large stir, so I’m afraid it will be filled with Imperial City experts.”
This matter happened?
Chu Tian had to be low key when he entered Imperial City.
So he could not attract any unwanted attention.
The investigation would be very serious, so if a ship from the distant Central State appeared, it would attract the attention of many people.
“Murders?”Nangong Yun’s attention was attracted, “Murder?”What murder and how bad is it?”
The Giant Shark Gang member shook his head and said, “It’s said that several villages with over a thousand people and even a town was completely slaughtered.The method was very cruel, so it has created mass panic.”
“What?Something like this happened!”
“Some say that it is a group of War Hounds that has invaded and some say it is the work of powerful demonic cultivators.These rumours haven’t been confirmed yet. Look…..”
Chu Tian directly said, “Disembark!”
“Ah?”
“We’re not that far off here, so let’s take the land route and have a look while we’re on our way.”
