Chapter 304: Participating in the royal banquet

The people of the Southern Summer Country treated being granted a marquis title as the greatest honour and achievement!

Why was Chu Xinghe highly regarded by so many people and had many people work for him?Wasn’t this because he was one of the people that had the qualification to become a marquis?Once he received the marquis title, in order to gain benefits, many people would naturally flock to him!

Chu Tian was not interested in these empty titles.

The marquis’ greatest advantage was receiving a state to manage.Of the state’s taxes and resources, other than delivering a portion to the Imperial Region, the remainder could be kept.In order words, once one became a marquis, they would never have to worry about money again, lying down daily and earning plenty of money.

Of course, in order for a marquis to not be negligent, the Southern Summer Country’s hereditary system had a requirement.It required the successor to have enough strength, prestige and merit before inheriting their parent’s position, otherwise it would be taken back by the kingdom.In other words, to ensure the prosperity of a family, it depended on the inheritance of the next generation.

The marquis title was not just an honour, it also included a large harvest that could allow a family to rapidly develop themselves.

For such a person this young being able to become a marquis was unprecedented in the Southern Summer Country.

But why did Chu Tian not care about it at all?

The Calm Martial Ruler was not silly and knew that Chu Tian’s ambitions were not limited to a single country.But what about the money and resources that came with the marquis title? These were all things that Miracle Commerce lacked!This fellow wouldn’t be taken on more responsibilities for no reasons right!

If he couldn’t remain in the Southern Summer Country, this would be a large pity.

The Calm Martial Ruler could not use a forceful method or it would have the opposite effect.So he could only do this and not force this on him, hoping that he would think it through.

“Let’s not talk about this for now.”The Calm Martial Ruler changed the topic, “You have been showing off a lot, are you not afraid of attracting trouble?”

“The Calm Martial Ruler really knows how to tell jokes.”Chu Tian shrugged and helplessly said, “Honestly for me, there is no difference between low key and high key.Since they want to play, there are some things that can’t be hidden.”

Chu Tian and Miracle Commerce had gone against many people’s plans.

These grudges were inevitable, it wasn’t something Chu Tian could settle just because he wanted to.Since it was like this, why did he need to fear going against them?

“You do have awareness.”The Calm Martial Ruler said in a noncommittal voice, “However, you have to remember, although the Burning Sun Ruler and the Refined Ruler want to deal with you, those two will not easily move against you.”

“Why?”

“Those two are different from the other family heads in Central State.You will understand the reason in the future, you don’t need this ruler to explain to you.Your biggest problem is not the two of them, but rather the Wang Family.”

“What?Wang Family?”

If the Calm Martial Ruler had not said it so seriously, Chu Tian would have thought that he was joking

The Wang Family has been like a mouse recently.They were in a very difficult situation and had no way of fighting back.Their family had a strong influence and power, so how did they end up in this kind of situation?

At this time, the Calm Martial Ruler had already exited to the base.Looking up at the blue, empty sky, he suddenly said in a meaningful voice, “Today’s royal banquet is not simple, you need to be careful.”After saying this, a blood red gryphon came down and the Calm Martial Ruler jumped on, heading off in the direction of Imperial City.

“The Calm Martial Ruler’s rambling on seemed to be indicating at something.”Chu Tian asked Gu Qianqiu beside him, “Hey, do you know what he’s referring to?”

Gu Qianqiu said in a serious voice, “I think the Calm Martial Ruler’s warning is implying that there is a danger hidden in the royal banquet.”

“Damn, is your head made of wood?”Chu Tian looked dissatisfied, “Am I a fool that can’t even understand that?Can you say something that I don’t know!”

“Er……”Gu Qianqiu awkwardly wiped away his sweat, “I spent most of my time in the lab, so this old man does not know what has happened in the court.But as far as I know, there are two people that can appear in the royal banquet. The ones the Calm Martial Ruler wants you to be on guard against are probably those two people.”

“Which two?”

“The first is the first grade military marquis, the Departing Flame Marquis.”

“So it’s him!”

The Departing Flame Marquis had a high status.Not only was he a venerated marquis, he also led the Departing Flame Army.This kind of general was also referred to as a military marquis. There were four military marquises of the Eight Marquises.Thunder State’s Golden Arrow Marquis, Southern State’s Western Marquis, and Cang State’s Green Gloud Marquis were all second grade military marquises, and only the Departing Flame Marquis was a first grade military marquis.

Central State’s Divine Wind Marquis, Qing State’s Green Wood Marquis, and the others had troops, but these troops were only for defenses and would not be called upon to enter the battlefield.

“Then who is the second person?”

“It’s the Battle Dragon Army’s young commander, Wang Tianlong!”

Chu Tian was not unfamiliar with the Wang Family’s history.Although the Great Summer Country’s royal clan had receded and they almost faded away several times, the royal family’s blood was strong, so their prosperity had high innate talents.Every time they were on the border of fading away, there was always someone that rose to shoulder their family again.

Wang Tianlong’s great grandfather had been a prestigious Southern Summer Marquis.After having no talents for two generations, they finally lost their marquis inheritance.Finally, the birth of Wang Tianlong gave the Wang Family hope again.

This person had revealed astonishing talent since he was young.Not only was his cultivation talent high, he was also a talented commander.He entered the military when he was only fifteen years old and led the Wang Family’s Battle Dragon Army when he was twenty.

In ten years, the army had increased their strength and earned even more merits, making them indeed noteworthy.

Chu Tian had put the Wang Family in a bad situation, so Wang Tianlong probably would not let him off.
