Logically speaking, the Territorial Lords were all vassals and had great power and status.
Compared to them, the two captains of the Imperial Guards in front of them were just foot soldiers.
Only the Commander of the Imperial Guards had the qualifications to sit on the same level as the Territorial Lords.
But in this situation, the Imperial Guards had always been arrogant and thought highly of themselves.
The few Territorial Lords could only endure the humiliation, suppress their anger and pretend to please the two captains of the Imperial Guards.
Not only did they explain their purpose of visit, they also gave them generous gifts.
The two captains of the Imperial Guards felt their vanity was greatly satisfied when they saw the nobles bowing to them and flattering them with smiles on their faces.
After accepting the gifts, they vaguely agreed and allowed Ji Tianxing and the rest to visit their friends.
But they could not stay for more than an hour inside.
Moreover, if this matter was known by Fengyi and the Commander of the Imperial Guards, they would never admit to receiving the gifts.
The five Territorial Lords quickly nodded and agreed. Both parties reached a consensus.
After Ji Tianxing and the rest entered the palace, the two captains of the Imperial Guards kept the gifts and returned to their cold demeanor.
The five Territorial Lords who were all smiles just now had a black face and could not help but discuss and curse.
"Two damn bastards, using a chicken feather as a token of authority, how dare they ride on our heads!"
"Hmph! Just two captains of the Imperial Guards, they do not even have the qualifications to curry favor with us. Now they are so arrogant, too hateful! "
"Aren't they just relying on Fengyi and Celestial King's support and looking down on everyone?
Celestial King does not care about our lives and even these Imperial Guards dare to belittle us, they really deserve to die! "
"Brothers, to be honest, I really regret it!
I should not have brought the elites and rushed to Tiandu. "
"Shh! Keep your voice down, don't let those bastards hear you! "
"Don't I have the same thoughts? We're the lords of our own territories. If we stay in our own territories, we'll be the supreme lords!
We came to Tiandu to work for Celestial King, but even the captains of the Imperial Guards dare to make things difficult for us! "
"Damn it, if Tiandu opens its gates, I will definitely bring the soldiers back to our own territory."
"Are you confused? Our Territorial Lord's Mansion has been captured and sealed by Kenshin, can you go back? "
"So what? Maybe I can lead the soldiers to join Kenshin, take back the cave, and continue to be the Territorial Lord, and live a much better life than now! "
"Are you crazy? How dare you say such things? "
Ji Tianxing sneered endlessly in his heart when he saw the Region Leaders getting angrier and angrier as they spoke, and the content of their words became more and more outrageous.
However, he maintained a serious expression on his face and pretended to cough twice before reminding them, "Ahem, ahem … You guys, stop talking nonsense.
You're not the only ones who have some ideas. The other dozens of Domain Lords might have some as well.
...... but.......
The Clear Wind Territorial Lord was the big brother among all the territorial lords and had a high prestige.
Since he had spoken, the other Domain Leaders hurriedly shut their mouths.
Then, they went to visit the Territorial Lord who had been punished and was still injured.
After they met in the living room, they greeted each other warmly.
Ji Tianxing and the other Territorial Lords took out gifts to express their concern and comfort for the Territorial Lord who had been punished.
Speaking of the previous punishment, the Domain Lord's mood was still a little resentful. It was obvious that his anger had not yet subsided.
He quickly cast a spell to activate the palace's Defensive Array, isolating it from the outside world's Divine Senses. Then he vented his anger.
"Many thanks, brothers and seniors, for coming to visit me. This time, I went to support the Happy Realm and seek justice for them. I didn't expect that I would suffer an undeserved calamity.
Sigh … I've been thinking a lot these past few days when I was recuperating.
Territorial Lord Qie Le and I have been friends for many years, so I must help him when he is in trouble.
So, even if I was severely punished by the Celestial King, I don't blame Territorial Lord Qie Le.
I just feel that this is the first time I've seen the Celestial King's true colors in a thousand years. It's really disappointing! "
No wonder the Territorial Lord activated the palace's Defensive Array, isolating it from the outside world.
His words were too disgraceful, and he was afraid that the Imperial Guards outside would hear them.
Once these words reached the Celestial King's ears, not only would his future be ruined, he might even lose his life.
So, the other Territorial Lords' expressions changed slightly, and they looked at each other.
Although the other Territorial Lords felt the same way, Lord Qingfeng had just asked them not to talk about it, and not to say it out loud.
So, the Territorial Lords kept silent and didn't say anything.
The punished Territorial Lord continued, "The conflict between Qie Le Territory and Xin 'an Territory can be big or small. It's not like there is a deep hatred between them.
If the Celestial King took those of us who worked for him seriously, he could have stopped the situation and punished us accordingly.
We had 100,000 soldiers before, but now there are only 50,000 left.
Logically speaking, the Celestial King should care more about the lives of his soldiers.
But we didn't expect Divine King Fengyi to be so vicious and ruthless, directly killing everyone in Qie Le Territory. "
Speaking of this, he sneered with contempt, "Probably in the eyes of the Celestial King and Divine King Fengyi, the lives of our soldiers are like grass, like ants!
As long as the situation doesn't escalate and doesn't affect the stability of Tiandu, they don't care how many people they kill.
You say, the master that we are loyal to and work for, actually thinks of us like this … Isn't it ridiculous?
I don't care what you think, I just want to say … From now on, my men and I will stay here in seclusion to heal.
Even if my injuries are healed, even if Kenshin leads an army into Tiandu, I will never fight again and work for the Celestial King!
F * ck loyalty, f * ck achievements! "
At the end of his speech, the Territorial Lord cursed angrily.
The other Territorial Lords were also moved. Considering that the palace had a defensive formation, they didn't care about anything and followed suit.
"Yes! Brother Lin, although we didn't personally experience this, we know the ins and outs of this matter.
Overall, we understand your feelings very well. Don't we feel the same as you, disappointed and bitterly disappointed? "
"Sigh … In the past thousand years, the Firmament Continent was peaceful. The Celestial King sat firmly on the throne and didn't have to worry about anything.
Now that I think about it, his unparalleled wisdom and outstanding scheming deeds were mostly made up and acted out.
Anyway, he was the Overlord of the continent, everyone would praise him. "
"Hahaha … No matter how great he was praised before, now that he met Kenshin, he immediately returned to his original state.
He and Kenshin didn't even meet face to face, and he was casually crushed and trampled by Kenshin. What a useless and cowardly person! "
"The Celestial King is useless and has no strategy, but he is also so cold-blooded and tyrannical …"
