"Chapter 32: The Prince's Situation"
Honesty is the master key. Don't lie under any circumstances, don't cover up, trust your teachers and elders, and be open-minded about them. Don't be malicious towards anyone, don't speak ill of others behind their backs, and most importantly 'don't deceive yourself' so that you don't deceive others. Being honest about the smallest things in life is the only secret of a pure life.
- Mahatma Gandhi (the founding father of modern India, India's greatest political leader, founder of Gandhiism)
In a Nice family's manor outside the county of Nice, Bai Feng had a short chat with the Duke of Nice's family for a day, and the next morning, Bai Feng, who had left 5,000 steppe horses, returned to the place where the army was with his escort cavalry.
The journey of more than fifty miles would not take much time for the cavalry galloping horses, but along the way, what Bai Feng, who had not said a word, was thinking about how profound the five duke families of the empire, which had been inherited for hundreds of years.
How deep the heritage of the Heavenly Dragon Empire is, Bai Feng, who has personally experienced this two-front battle in the empire, knows very well, and how deep the heritage of the imperial family is, the Holy Maiden Victoria of the Dark Council has made Bai Feng, who has not witnessed it with his own eyes, deeply understand.
Whether it was at least twenty saint-level powerhouses of the Sword Saint, or Charlemagne's uncle who was said to have surpassed the saint-level, it made Bai Feng feel that he couldn't breathe;
As soon as he thought of this, Bai Feng felt that his scalp was a little numb, and even his original idea of fighting with Prince Pros for the power of the Eastern Metropolitan Governor's Mansion had also died down;
Of course, Bai Feng himself knew that no matter how deep the imperial family was, after the war was over, the challenges from all sides of the empire were enough to make Charlemagne tired to deal with, and in this case, as long as he didn't do too much, Charlemagne would turn a blind eye.
Comparatively speaking, what attracted Bai Feng more was the hidden strength of the five major families of the empire; in Bai Feng's opinion, it was both an easy and a complicated thing for him to have an in-depth understanding of the five major families of the empire.
The easy thing is that the current head of the Kleist family, one of the five major families of the empire, is Duke Kleist, and Duke Kleist's favorite granddaughter Sophia is also Bai Feng's upright lover;
The complication lies in the fact that, on the one hand, Bai Feng didn't know how to open his mouth and ask Sophia or Duke Kleist about the Kleist family, and on the other hand, the five major families of the empire were five independent families after all, not one.
Each family will have its own secret secrets, and this is especially true of the five major families of the empire, which means that even if the Kleist family is one of the five major families of the empire, it is impossible to know the most secret affairs and hidden powers of the other families.
It's just that, relatively speaking, the Kleist family, which is the same as the other four major families, knows more about the other four families than the outside world, that's all, and Bai Feng still has this understanding.
After some careful thinking, Bai Feng still decided not to mention this matter to Duke Kleist; as for Sophia, Bai Feng will still ask what should be asked, after all, girls are outside, Bai Feng believes that Sophia will not tell anyone what he asked her, including her grandfather!
The swaying army marched through the province of Nice for three full days before finally passing through the southern part of the province of Nice and entering the northern part of the province of Brojansson, and at this time, the army of White Peaks was less than four days away from the capital of the province of Brojansson.
Prince Pros, who had long known the location of Baifeng's army and the speed of his march, first recalled the third envoy he had sent to Nice Province to Brojansson Province, and then ordered a new magnificent Duke's palace of Yulin for Baifeng in the city of Broyangsund.
This is not the first mansion built by Prince Pros after he led his army into the county town of Bromjansson, but he had already built a metropolitan residence for himself that was larger than the Duke of Yulin's mansion!
At this point, the county town of Brojansson, which was still under post-war reconstruction, had three formidable mansions, one was the governor's palace that Bai Feng ordered to be rebuilt, and the two were the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion and the Duke Yulin's Mansion built by order of Prince GLP respectively.
These three belong to the mansions of Prince GLP, the Governor of the Eastern Metropolitan Governor's Mansion and the Duke of Yulin, Bai Feng, and the Governor of Brojansson Province.
A mansion that has not yet been built may not explain anything, but it is also a way for Prince GLP to express his attitude, isn't it? And the reason why Prince GLP is so anxious to do this, in the final analysis, is forced out by Bai Feng.
The shadow of the famous tree, the current Celestial Dragon Empire, the name of Bai Feng, the god of war in the Feather Forest, and the great achievements of the Eastern Exorcist Orc Army and the Northern Grassland Cavalry, who does not know who does not know?
What made the prince of Pross even more worried was that in his capacity as the prince of the Imperial Empire and the governor of the Eastern Metropolitan Mansion, after coming to the province of Brojancson, none of the provincial nobles swore allegiance to him, which is simply incredible!
If it weren't for the Count of Ardonis, who followed Prince Pros to the county town of Brojansson, who stopped Prince Pros, perhaps the enraged Prince of Pros would have sent his purple-clothed guards to 'visit' the provincial nobles who did not know whether they were alive or dead.
What Prince Pross didn't know was that the current Brojansson Provincial nobility was composed of two parts: one was the remaining powerless nobles who survived the fire in the Brojansson Provincial Governor's Palace, and the other was the emerging powerful nobles canonized by Bai Feng.
The remaining powerless nobles who survived the fire in the Doge's Palace were all people who had passed on the brink of life and death, and they were only the Earl of Abraham and the Knight of Woodlaw, and they did not dare to betray Bai Feng in the slightest.
Even though they were desperate to regain their power deep down, they still didn't have the courage to betray Bai Feng and swear allegiance to Prince Pros, and the raging fire that night had weighed down on these people's hearts like a nightmare, forcing them not to take a single step!
It is not that there are no careerists and speculators among the nobles of the eastern provinces of the empire, but that all the careerists and speculators among the nobles of the eastern provinces have been burned to the ashes by a fire of Wink, and those who remain are incompetent people who abide by their duties and are timid and fearful.
As for the new powerful nobles canonized by Bai Feng, they were all diehard loyalists who Bai Feng had carefully selected from the Feather Forest Legion and were loyal to him, and these people would not look at the Prince of Pros at all, even if the other party was the Imperial Prince who was above 10,000 people under one person.
The deliberate neglect of the provincial nobles, the avoidance of the Duke of Nice, and the approaching of the army of Baifeng, everything was like a boulder pressing on the heart of Prince Pros, and in desperation, he came up with the idea of using the scale of the mansion to express his attitude in a subtle way.
