Everyone and their ideas

The City of the Vermilion Flower

The governor's residence  in the Vermilion flower City,  was a medium-tall building located in the center of the city. Inside one of  rooms, Liu Chang sat looking at the map in front of him. They  arrived in the city two days ago and Ling Sue woke up shorty before they reached the city, but the boy remained silent. Perhaps it was the shock of the boy who lived between The  books and suddenly saw the death and fighting for the first time, so when ji Lian suggest to appoint the mercenaries as temporary guards at the governor's residence, ling sue agreed, which Liu Chang believes that is stems from remorse. Probably that boy thinks he should return the favor to them and that he  owe them his life.

The  Crescent City is a 3-day walking away from The City of the Vermilion Flower, well, I will have to go there, but after Ji Lian is informed, my work here is as a temporary guard is good cover

Hours later, Liu Chang began his journey towards the Crescent City, where one of the main headquarters of the Ming Sons' Organization  in the north is  located

"The storm is coming soon to the north and I have to prepare for it," Liu Chang thought

The capital, the royal palace

The king sat on the throne and looked at the man standing in front of him. He was sixty years old, there were a scar in  his  face. This was Ling Fan, the leader of the Ling family, one of the powerful families in the capital, and the legendary general  that have  under his command the Red Army who was one of the striking armies of the Kingdom  and one of those who ensured the kingdom's stability during the weakness times of the  royal family

"Your Majesty, the princess has reached the age of fifteen, I think we can finally get engagement of  my grandson and the princess," Ling Fan said.

The king listened and did not seem to have any changes on the face, but inside him, he wanted to tear that old man into pieces. Does that old man think that his trash grandson who was famous in the capital for his chase of girls and he trash in martial arts  is fitting for the princess ? Why would he give a beautiful princess who might have political importance if there is a Suitable  political marriage  why he gives it to the trash of the capital   just because her mother is the aunt of that trash  he can see the  disdain  In the eyes of those standing When Ling Fan spoke about his grandson, the king try  to think of an appropriate response without embarrassing the general?

But at that moment he heard the sound of three knocking on the door of the throne hall. That tradition was when there was breaking news

"enter"

The king spoke

And  after that one of the guards entered quickly

"Urgent news, Lord of the North, Ling Bao is dead. The governor in ling city  has sent us that news."

The guard spoke

The king listened, and his features changed for a while. He was known  about  Ling Bao's disease, but despite  his death being expected, he was shocked, and he thinks who would replace the man who had dominated the north.

"General Siro, lead  an army and advance towards the north. I want the new Lord of the North to be chosen smoothly," the king spoke

"Your Majesty, command you," spoke Si Ro, who came out from standing on the right side of the throne and bowed before the king.

"General Ling, it seems we have to delay talking about that  topic  we will wait  until the North stabilizes. In fact, isn't Ling Bao your relative?" Said the king.

"Yes, Your Majesty, Ling Bao's grandfather was one of the leaders of our family's sub-families, but he traveled to the north after a disagreement with the main family leader at that time," Ling Fan replied.

Qin City

The city of Qin was one of the five major cities in the north and was considered the home of the Qin family, one of the families who was  fighting over the rule of the North before the emergence of the North Lord Ling Bao who turned the tables and crushed the strong families and replaced them with  weak families that was loyal to him

But the leader of the Qin family, nicknamed Northern Fox, managed

Surviving his family through a set of concessions and political maneuvers enables the fox to save his family from  the extermination, unlike other families that were exterminated and nothing remains of them except a history that tells a glorious past

And in the center of Qin City are located a group of imposing buildings that were the main headquarters of the Qin family

In one of the rooms in the main headquarters stood an old man in his fifties with ordinary features looking through the window at the garden in front of him.

"Is this news accurate? You  should realize the importance of such news. There is no room for error here," said the old man in serious tone

"Yes, family leader, there is no room for error the new correct  Northern Lord Ling Bao is dead. Our men conveyed the news to us and the governor Located in Ling City   sent an urgent message to the capital ,so  what your orders are family leader ." Qin Ju spoke respectfully and looked at the old man silently for a few minutes.

"Nothing, Qin Bao.  order our men stay calm and stay away from the Ling Family's areas and  I will go   Ling City personally" The old man spoke in a firm tone.

"But, family leader , isn't  the death of that man an opportunity to wipe out the influence of the Ling Family as  they are weak now," Qin Ju asked

"Don't be stupid . That demon  Ling Bao was   sick for years. He must have put his precautions. Only the fool who attacks the Ling family now , any one attack  at the first will  be    destroyed mercilessly and he will pave  a  way for others and that I am not an idiot" spoke the old man.

That old man was Qin Feng who was the leader of the Qin family, nicknamed the Northern Fox when his older brother was killed, the family leader at the time, he took over the leadership of the family that was about to be destroyed, but  He managed to play politics brilliantly , so he offered the royal family to send a ruler to a  city, pay taxes, and send twenty  sons of the family  elders to study in The capital, which was a watered-down formula for leaving them hostage in the capital, but those concessions enabled his family to be the only survivor of the Northern alliance that  was in   war with  the Northern Lord and the royal family.

"Ling bao , my archenemy, can I finally defeat you? Or even   after your death, you will continue to defeat me"

Qin Feng muttered
