The trio looked up to see a rather disheveled Li Changhai step out of his tent to join them at the campfire . He gave out a yawn as he peered about himself, and stretched before he took a seat next to Lin Liushui, who had s.h.i.+fted to give him a spot close to the fire .

"What was this about Qin Feng? Have they been making trouble for you again?"

Qin Feng chuckled while the other two men protested vehemently . It seemed that Li Changhai somehow got the impression that the other two were constantly picking on or taking advantage of him . Something to do with Du Yan's medicines and Lin Liushui's almost never-ending teasing, no doubt . Well, he was in no hurry to clear that up!

"They were just telling me about the Black Eagle Sect . And how their ego seems to be getting too big for them to continue wearing their trousers any longer . "

The Ducal Prince paused in his adjustment of his clothing to stare at the youngest in the group . Then he gave out a bark of laughter and shook his head at Qin Feng, before he moved to sit down . "I like it when you put down our enemies like that . And you are right about their pride . Most of them are only Silver Ranked, but they are sticking their chopsticks into everything that they can see . Including this particular muddle," he sneered .

"Oh? What do you mean?"

Lin Liushui laughed then, when Li Changhai pointed a finger at him in reply . His smile however, gave the impression that there was no one better at answering that particular question . Something that had Lin Liushui puffing his chest out . And he took up the telling as everyone had expected him to:

"He means that the Black Eagle Mountain is famous for getting involved in other people's business . And sticking their noses where they are not wanted . Not to mention the fact that there is at least one other faction that is showing up at the Yuan Family estates that is likely to outrank them . Which is inaccurate, although not by very much . "

"Oh?"

The handsome man started to reach for the fan tucked in his waistband, then realized that it wasn't really suitable for the environment . Then he sighed, and pulled his hand away again . Amidst laughter from his two Brothers .

Qin Feng found that rather amusing, although he was certain that it was a deliberate move by Lin Liushui to lighten the mood . No doubt he thought it was necessary, before he broke down the enemies that faced Du Yan and his betrothed . As well as her family .

Despite the sour feeling that he could not keep from his face . Clearly, he was still more than a little upset with the Snow Swallow Palace . And how it was keeping him from his beloved .

"Well, like I mentioned earlier, the ones backing this debacle are Snow Swallow Palace and Black Eagle Mountain . They are the most highly placed Sects that are taking part . That is, according to the information that we had received . "

His words reminded every that the intelligence that they had gotten regarding the matter was suspicious in itself . And that they would have to take everything that they had learned with a pinch of salt . At least, until they arrived at the Capital, and could find out more regarding the situation at the Yuan Family estates .

"Ah . Then there are others? Sects and Schools of some might, I mean . There are more of them involved in this mess, aren't there?"

"Exactly . Which leaves one to wonder at the reason behind this move of theirs . There is hardly any point, is there? The Yuan Family are still a rather impressive power, there in the Capital . And a starved camel is still larger than a horse . "

Li Changhai nodded at Lin Liushui's words, but made a gesture as if to encompa.s.s the whole campfire, as he turned to Qin Feng . "That is true . But the situation in the Capital is a little more complicated right now, with all of the Princes trying to attract as many allies as they can . In hopes of being named the Crown Prince, you see . And this is probably another one of the plays that they have set up . "

Qin Feng's expression must have revealed his ignorance with regards to the matter . He had never really cared too much with regards to the Succession of Kings and such, to be honest . So he clearly had no idea what the Second Ducal Prince was talking about .

"I think you will need to give him more background about that, Brother Sanlang . The situation there at the Shu Kingdom Capital is a little more complicated than what can be said in a few sentences like that," sn.i.g.g.e.red Lin Liushui, who looked as if he was more than willing to take over the telling .

But the Second Ducal Prince shook his head at the same, and carried on, adding more meat to the bones of the matter:

"He is right, I suppose . You are not a native of the Kingdom, so you wouldn't have been paying attention . Well, basically, our King is rather aged . He is older than my father, and my maternal grandfather, to give you an idea of what I am talking about . And most of his sons are around my older brother's age . Or my uncle's age, for that matter . You have seen the last, so that might give you a better idea .

"In any case, they are now contesting over the throne . The Shu King has yet to name a Crown Prince, which means that all of them have a chance . That is why things are heating up right now . And why everyone is trying their best to rope in all the powerful n.o.bles . "

"As well as the not so powerful ones . Even an ant has a bit of meat, after all . That is why your worthless brother-in-law is valued now . For his ident.i.ty as a Court n.o.ble . "

Qin Feng turned to Lin Liushui again . "What is a Court n.o.ble, exactly? I have heard that term before, but I have never really understood what it means . "
