Lin Bai came to the study room of the Lord's Mansion in Tianya Pass, and took a look. The furnishings in the study room were very simple, but there were many books in it, which were probably brought by King Liang.

After waiting for a while, he heard footsteps outside the house. King Liang walked into the study room first, and the two people behind him followed in.

"Your Highness!"

The steward of King Liang bowed his hands and saluted, while Song Shunhua knelt on one knee and bowed respectfully: "I have seen King Liang, King Zhao, and King of Beasts."

Lin Bai suddenly frowned and looked at the two people behind King Liang. The one on the left was not tall, but was extremely burly, especially his round belly, iron-black and ferocious face, and stubble on his face. He looked like a human-shaped glutton.

The man on the right was wearing a close-fitting brocade robe and cloth armor, a crown on his head, and a refined temperament. I think he was a person who had been at the peak of power for a long time and lived a life of luxury.

But he was wearing a soldier's armor, and he looked like a Confucian general.

King Zhao and King of Beasts, these two are among the twelve famous military kings in the Chu army! ... From Song Shunhua's title, Lin Bai immediately guessed their origins.

There are countless generals and commanders in the Chu army, but only the twelve military kings are the most famous, among which King Liang is the leader.

King Liang has authority in the Chu army that is no less than that of the Chu emperor, but this is also because King Liang has fought in the south and the north since he was a child, and has fought no less than ten thousand battles of all sizes.

All the merits are accumulated slowly by him.

As for the other two, one is "King Zhao", who, like King Liang, is a member of the royal family of Chu, but this person is not a soft persimmon or a person who seeks fame.

His fiefdom is in the north of Chu. Simply put... if the Northern Territory invades, this King Zhao will lead the troops to fight at the first time.

And the reason why his fiefdom was established in the north is also to use him to resist the Northern Territory in the north.

This move by Chu is worth pondering.

Looking at the elegant scholarly attire of the King of Zhao, he does not seem to be a brave warrior, but the State of Chu gave him the most important Northern Territory.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, this is reasonable.

First, although the King of Zhao is elegant, he is not stupid. On the contrary... the King of Zhao is smart, knows how to advance and retreat, and can distinguish right from wrong.

As a member of the royal family, the Emperor of Chu is also particularly relieved to have him in charge of the north.

Second, if brave warriors like "Beast King" and "King of Liang" are sent to guard the north, it is estimated that as soon as their troops arrive in the north, the Northern Territory will be like a formidable enemy, and it may intensify the disputes within the two major boundaries.

Third, the King of Zhao is in charge of the north, and he often deals with the Northern Territory. Although there are occasional frictions between the northern and northern regions of the State of Chu, at least there is no war.

In other words... the northern part of the State of Chu can maintain peace and stability for so long. Even if the King of Zhao cannot be credited with great achievements, he has at least made great efforts.

Another military king, titled "King of Beasts", can be known from this title that this person is not a member of the royal family.

He is a military king of a different surname.

Whether in the mortal world or in the martial arts world, it has always been extremely difficult for people who are not from the royal family to be canonized as kings.

It may be easier to be a marquis, but it is absolutely impossible to be a king, unless you are a founding hero.

Like in the State of Chu, there are only two ways to be canonized as a king of a different surname.

First, either you have extraordinary talents in martial arts, and the royal family of the State of Chu is willing to offer a title to recruit you.

For example... Lin Bai.

Lin Bai got the title of king of the State of Chu in this way.

Second, if you don't have extraordinary talents in martial arts, then you can only go through the military, experience large and small wars, and serve the State of Chu for half a lifetime, and have made countless contributions, before you have the opportunity to be canonized as a king.

And this "King of Beasts" obviously went through the second way.

It was extremely difficult to be crowned as a king with a different surname, so all the kings with different surnames among the twelve military kings of Chu were very good at fighting.

Among the twelve military kings, there were six princes and six kings with different surnames.

It is no exaggeration to say that... these six kings with different surnames were absolutely like butchers on the battlefield. Wherever their army passed, it could be said that no grass grew.

For example, in the "Kezhou Blood God Cult" incident, the king with a different surname, "King Chai Ning", almost razed the entire Kezhou to the ground in one breath.

...

King Liang walked into the study with a gloomy face and sharp eyes.

It can be seen that he seemed to be in a bad mood.

King Liang walked through the crowd and went straight to the armchair behind the desk in the study and sat down.

King of Beasts and King Zhao also sat down on the first seats on the left and right sides of the desk, and then King Liang said: "No need to be polite, find a place to sit down!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the seat." Song Shunhua got up and sat down in the position of King Zhao's subordinate.

The housekeeper of King Liang quietly walked behind the desk and stood behind King Liang.

Lin Bai, on the other hand, stood in the hall and did not find a place to sit down, staring at King Liang.

After King Liang sat down, he picked up the book on the table and read it with relish, as if he was going to leave Lin Bai alone for a while.

In the study, King Liang did not speak, and no one else dared to speak, including King Beast and King Zhao, whose eyes kept wandering around Lin Bai, but they did not speak.

"If Lord Liang has nothing to say to me, then I will leave first?"

After saying that, Lin Bai turned around and left.

As both are the princes of Chu, Lin Bai and King Liang have equal titles, so naturally they don't need to be as respectful as Song Shunhua.

"Oh, there's someone else." King Liang put down the book and said sarcastically: "I wonder who it is, isn't this the prince of the Nine Nether Demon Palace?"

Lin Bai stopped when he heard the words, turned his head and looked at King Liang, sneering: "Then I have to thank Chu for forcing me to the position of the prince of the Nine Nether Demon Palace."

King Liang's face suddenly darkened: "Prince Qin, what do you mean? Since you came to Chu, has Chu neglected you?"

"Other warriors dream of the marquis, king, Chu has offered all of them!"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince regards you as a brother, the Third Prince also treats you with courtesy, and the royal family values ​​you very much..."

" Even this king..." The more King Liang spoke, the angrier he became, his sword-like eyebrows raised: "Even this king is willing to recruit you as his son-in-law!"

"Are you still not satisfied?"

Lin Bai said coldly: "Then I want to ask... Why did Zhao Xingsi announce that I became the prince of Jiuyou Demon Palace?"

"Why did Zhao Xingsi suddenly announce that I betrayed the Eastern Region of the Demon Realm?"

"So that when I left Jiuyou Demon Palace, I was notorious wherever I went in the Eastern Region of the Demon Realm, and even encountered multiple assassinations by the Demon-Slaying Alliance in the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect!"

"Isn't it you who forced me to the position of the prince of Jiuyou Demon Palace?"
