The Godly Jin Dynasty had a saying: "Three Directors, Nine Ministers, and Eighteen Marquises". All of them were at the level of the founding elders of the dynasty. Their inheritance had been passed down for more than six thousand years. Since the founding of the Godly Jin Dynasty, they had become the pillars of the court.
There was a Three Duke Temple in the capital dedicated to the three founding dukes. They contributed greatly to the establishment of the Jin Dynasty. Even their descendants could inherit the title of Grand Duke for generations to come.
There was also a Smoke Cloud Tower in the imperial palace dedicated to the eighteen founding ministers. Each of them was given the title of Heavenly Marquis and was responsible for leading the eighteen strongest armies of the dynasty. Some of the marquises had tens of millions of troops while the stronger ones had hundreds of millions.
The royal family, the Three Dukes, and the Eighteen Heavenly Marquises formed the strongest system of nobility in the entire Jin Dynasty. There were eight prefecture lords all over the dynasty. The princesses below them were either born from the descendants of these nobility or were their students. Only then were they qualified to enter the upper echelons of the court.
The Three Directors and the Eighteen Marquises all had their own fiefdoms, also known as private territories. They could train their own forces in these fiefdoms.
The Three Directors and the Eighteen Marquises were existences with real power, not something the Nine Ministers could compare to. The Nine Ministers had a high status in the court but the majority of them were civil officials and subordinates of the Grand Chancellor. Their influence wasn't worth mentioning.
The Three Directors were the Grand Chancellor, Grand Tutor, and Grand Tutor.
The Grand Chancellor had the most authority among them.
The Grand Chancellor was the clan master of the Beiming Clan, Beiming Moshou.
His status as the clan master of one of the four great clans made him the most powerful person in the dynasty outside of the Jin Emperor. One-third of the Eighteen Marquises listened to him.
The Beiming Clan, the Grand Chancellor's Mansion.
It was located in the wealthiest area of the capital, surrounded by courtyards and courtyards.
However, it seemed a bit small before the Grand Chancellor's mansion.
"Bastard!
Doing such a thing for a brothel girl? If this is exposed, our clan's reputation will be ruined. "
Moshou slammed his palm on the table, causing a middle-aged man in front of him to take a step back in fear.
He looked to be in his fifties with a chubby body. This was Beiming Moshou's younger brother, Beiming Cang.
Beiming Moshou had a nickname at the capital - "Northern Profound Fox". He never showed his emotions. Even if the sky was falling down, he wouldn't be alarmed. Today was his first time being so angry.
Beiming Cang was startled as well: "Big Brother, it has already happened. I didn't think that the demon's son would appear out of nowhere. If it wasn't for him, there wouldn't have been any problems. Perhaps Ye Xiaoxiang would be in the Grand Chancellor's mansion right now."
The one who sent people to capture her was the Grand Chancellor's only brother, Beiming Cang.
"You still have the nerve to say that!"
Beiming Moshou calmed down. After all, it had already happened. He could only try his best to make up for it so that he wouldn't be implicated.
A murderous glint flashed in Cang's eyes: "Don't worry, Big Brother. I've sent people to the nine passes and seventy-two towns. I've also invited experts from the Dark Realm to hunt down the demon's son. If we can mobilize the half-step and Giants in the clan, I'm sure we'll be able to kill him in no time."
"Can't do anything right, only good at spoiling things."
Moshou glared at him before calming down again. He gently touched the jade ring on his finger and said: "Long Chuanfeng has returned to the capital."
"What?
That old geezer is back? "Cang had a hint of fear on his face.
The Divine King was the only titled Royal Highness in the Jin Dynasty. His status was even higher than the three directors. Though he had left the capital for nearly two hundred years, he still had a monstrous amount of power. He was the person Moshou hated the most in the court.
Moshou's eyes flashed with a shrewd glint: "Long Chuanfeng wanted the demon's son to be the next Divine King's successor. Haha, unfortunately, the demon's son was poisoned by Yama's Decay Blood and doesn't have much longer to live, so Chuanfeng had to give up.
However, the two of them are master and disciple. If we send half-step Giants to kill the demon's son, we won't be able to hide it from Chuanfeng's eyes. He'll definitely take action. The more people we send, the more people will die. "
"Plus, I recently received news that the son of the demon has become the successor of the Feng Clan. He will definitely be protected by an Enlightened Being from the Feng Clan. Even though I don't know what level of cultivation this person has reached, with the power of an Enlightened Being, even if he is in the distant Grand Southern Prefecture, separated by hundreds of thousands of miles, he can still kill a Giant."
Cang said: "So you're saying that we can't do anything and can only watch the demon's son jump around right under our noses?"
Moshou shook his head in response: "Long Chuanfeng and that Enlightened Being from the Feng might get angry if it's a top expert from the previous generation, but if it's a young one, they won't be able to do anything. After all, given their status, they won't interfere in a competition between the younger generation."
Beiming Cang laughed and said: "Big Brother is right, no need to use a butcher's knife to kill a chicken. Even if the demon's son used to be the number one genius of the Jin Dynasty, he is now poisoned by Yama's Decay Blood, how strong could he be?
Our Beiming Clan has countless prodigies, many can kill him. "
If he knew that Beiming Huaji, one of the "Beiming Four Young Lords", was easily defeated by Feng Feiyun, he wouldn't be so optimistic.
Moshou nodded: "Tell Potian about this, I'm sure he'll be happy to kill the number one genius of the Jin Dynasty."
This "Potian" was the number one expert of the Beiming Clan, Beiming Potian. He was also ranked fourth on the upper list.
Cang was ecstatic: "If Potian takes action, the demon's son won't be able to live."
Beiming Cang excitedly left but was stopped by Beiming Moshou: "There is one more thing you need to do."
"What is it, Big Brother?"
Moshou calmly said: "If the name isn't right, the message won't go well.
Tell everyone at the capital that the demon's son is extremely lustful and dared to capture Fairy Xiao. Our Beiming Clan is willing to help the Divine King take care of this shameless pervert. "Moshou calmly said.
Moshou was killing two birds with one stone. First, he could blame everything on Feng Feiyun.
Secondly, everyone knew that the son of the demon was the successor of the Divine King, so shouldn't his master be held responsible for such an unruly disciple?
Moshou's move would be a heavy blow to the Divine King.
Cang hesitated for a moment before saying: "If we do that, then Fairy Xiao won't be able to enter the Grand Chancellor's mansion …"
"Hmph!
That woman must die. Only by killing both her and the demon's son will there be no witnesses. Only then will we be able to incite the anger of the music fans and shift the blame to Long Chuanfeng. "Moshou's voice became even colder.
Cang didn't want to do this, but he could only obey since he didn't dare to disobey Moshou's order.
Tonight, a piece of news spread across the capital: "The Divine King's successor, the demon's son, has been poisoned by Yama's Decay Blood. He's still alive and even kidnapped Fairy Xiao, Xiaoxiang."
The news shook the entire capital. She had a lot of fans. They were like mad lions. That very night, countless people came out of the capital to challenge the demon's son.
Some even swore that if they didn't kill Feng Feiyun, they wouldn't be human.
Although it was just a rumor, a lot of people believed it. After all, the son of the Demon Fiend had a criminal record!
It wasn't strange at all for him to do such a thing.
The dragon lake spanned three thousand miles, a white jade hanging on a silver hook!
The water of the Dragon Lake was as turbulent as the sea. A bright moon hung high above the lake, like a precious mirror suspended in the air above a black cloth.
This was one of the four great clans, the Yin Gou Clan!
"The demon's son … is still alive after being poisoned by Yama's Decay Blood?"
Dongfang Jingyue's face was covered with a white veil. She was sitting under an ancient osmanthus tree with a red jade lute in her hands. The ground was covered with fallen leaves. A cool breeze blew past, lifting her long black hair. White petals fell from the tree like snow in winter.
White dress, red pipa … A beauty sat under the tree under the bright moon.
A muscular man wearing a rhinoceros leather armor with a red cloak walked over with a majestic aura. The first thing he said was: "Xiaoxiang wasn't kidnapped by Feng Feiyun, this must be another of that old fox Beiming's schemes."
This man was, of course, an idiot … Ah, cough, Dongfang Jingshui.
Dongfang Jingyue was still sitting there quietly. Her face was covered by a white veil and her expression couldn't be seen. However, her beautiful eyes were extremely indifferent. She said indifferently, "What does it have to do with me?"
Jingshui added: "Beiming Potian just left the city under orders to kill him!"
"So boring!"
Jingyue stood up and walked past Dongfang Jingshui with the Red Jade Pipa in her arms. Her silhouette was extremely beautiful.
Jingshui revealed a smile and said: "Don't tell me you want to leave the city as well?"
Jingyue slightly stopped but didn't turn around: "If you want to leave the city, you can come with me."
"I'm not interested in that demon's son, why would I leave the city?" Jingshui almost laughed out loud.
Jingyue dismissively said: "Come with me to laugh at that bragging demon's son. I've been annoyed by him for years."
Jingshui was speechless: "I have no feud with him, why would I laugh at him?"
Jingshui was speechless: "He said that he could defeat you within five years. It has been four years and five months, but his cultivation is still far below yours. Don't you think we should laugh at this kind of braggart?"
Jingyue said: "You remember the time quite well. If it's like this, I really should go with you to laugh at him."
Jingshui finally couldn't help but laugh. Who knows if he was laughing at Feng Feiyun or someone else?
