Chapter 1573: Being Brainless Is An Illness (2)
If it were not for Shen Yanxiao, none of the soldiers of the four-nation alliance would have survived. The news brought by the returning soldiers caused the rulers of the four countries to start to wonder if they had made a mistake.
The Broken Star Palace, who incited them to attack the Forsaken Land, merely stood by and did not offer any help.
In times of crisis, it was their enemies that gave them a chance to survive.
It was rather ridiculous to talk about that.
The King of the Blue Moon Dynasty was not as greedy as the Emperor of the Longxuan Empire. A large part of the reason why he agreed to the Broken Star Palace’s request was due to the pressure from the lords.
The system of the Blue Moon Dynasty was different from the Longxuan Empire. This was a country with the highest symbol of royal blood.
The highest authority was the king, followed by the princes.
There were four princes in the Blue Moon Dynasty and all of them held military power. Even the King could not ignore their opinions. These princes were aristocrats that had existed since the completion of the Blue Moon Dynasty. They had power second only to the King and the position of prince could be inherited by their children. As a result, after hundreds and thousands of years, the power that these princes had accumulated was somewhat hard for the King to control.
Below the prince were dukes, then marquises, earls, viscounts, barons, and knights.
Practically every lord had their own territory and army. They would fill up their cities and land in their respective territory. They only had to pay taxes to the country at regular intervals. Their army would only listen to their lords, even the King would find it hard to mobilize them.
When the Broken Star Palace came to sow discord, all the lords and above were present. Before the kingdom had the chance to express their stance, the four princes had already expressed their agreement.
As far as the King was concerned, he did not want to get involved in this mess.
Unfortunately, he could not be as supreme as the Longxuan Empire.
With the return of the soldiers, the Blue Moon Dynasty suffered heavy losses. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers were drawn out by various lords. Not to mention the King, even they themselves felt heartache.
Now that they heard that Qu Rui wanted to kill those soldiers who had escaped with great difficulty, those lords were naturally unhappy.
Your father is just a small marquis. It doesn’t matter if he dies. If you want to drag our soldiers down with you, go to hell.
No one sympathized with Qu Xun’s death. In private, these people had already started to discuss how to divide up the cities and territories Qu Xun owned.
“Qu Rui, you should go back first.” The King rubbed his temples. There were too many things he had to busy himself with recently. Listening to Qu Rui crying here all day long made his mind explode.
Qu Rui was unrelenting. He was only one step away from throwing a tantrum in the main hall, and everyone rolled their eyes.
“Young master Qu Rui, you’re still as unreasonable as ever. It seems like you haven’t improved in the slightest after such a long time.” A voice brimming with laughter suddenly sounded from outside the hall.
Everyone in the hall looked outside in surprise.
All they saw was a devastatingly gorgeous young lady standing outside the hall with a smile on her face. Behind her was a young man with a cold expression as he put down the guard he had just broken the neck of.
Everyone gasped. When did these two break into the main hall? Why weren’t there any guards stopping them?
“Men! There’s an assassin!” A duke shouted.
Unfortunately, none of the guards came from outside. If they were to walk out of the hall at that moment, they would discover a ground full of corpses.
