"Why did the Elf King get into trouble?" Yu Yanluo asked curiously.
Kong Qing sighed: "A great honor can easily turn into a great disaster if one is not careful. Logically speaking, being favored by the Golden Crow Crown Prince and chosen as the Crown Princess to become the Demon Queen is something that many demon girls dream of. But the strange thing is that our princess does not want to be the Crown Princess, and Princess Xue is also unwilling and has directly refused."
"Being rejected time and time again, not only the Golden Crow Prince, but even the Demon Emperor would lose face and might even suspect that these families had ulterior motives. So, they used the Elf King's defeat in the battle against the human race as an excuse to imprison him. But it is obvious to everyone that occasional defeats on the battlefield are common. It is completely unreasonable to imprison someone of the Elf King's status. It must be because of the Snow Princess's matter, using this as an excuse to force him to comply."
Zuan was deeply worried. He never expected that Xue'er would face such a difficult situation after returning to the demon clan. On one side was her lifelong happiness, and on the other side was her father. How should she choose?
At this moment, Yu Yanluo exclaimed, "Is it the time when Duke Cheng of Qin Zheng led a large army? I heard when I was in the human race that the demon race slaughtered a border city, so the court was furious and sent Duke Cheng of Qin Zheng's army to attack."
Kong Qing snorted: "Humans have always been cunning and treacherous, always creating trouble under false pretenses. This massacre of the city is completely fabricated. As far as I know, it wasn't the demon race that did it. Humans just used this as an excuse to invade the demon race."
Yan Xuehen and Yun Jianyue frowned, clearly dissatisfied with his criticism of the human race and dismissive of his words. The hatred between the demon race and the human race over thousands of years was not something to be taken lightly; it was common for them to smear each other, so his words might not be true.
Only Zuan had a sudden thought and came up with a guess, but he immediately dismissed it, as it would be too shocking.
Yu Yanluo smiled, clearly not wanting to argue with him about this: "By the way, what is the current situation in the royal court?"
The Star Slave did gather some intelligence, but due to their identities and the great distance they were from, they could only gather superficial information. The true situation of the Royal Court was better understood by the native inhabitants of the Royal Court.
Whether it was due to his past business dealings with the Yu family or out of respect for Zu'an, Kong Qing did not hold back and answered directly: "You already know the situation of the three kings. The next few major forces are the lineage of the Golden Crow Crown Prince, the Imperial Uncle Hei Chi Fei, and the Zongzheng Hei Chi Ran who made things difficult for you before. They are the direct descendants of this faction."
"Besides the Black Tooth father and son, you also need to be careful of some other people in the royal court these days: General Ma Tian of the Left Guard, a master of the horse tribe; and General Niu Dao of the Right Guard, a master of the minotaur tribe..."
"The Minotaur race?" Zaun was surprised; there really was such a race.
"Yes, what's wrong with the minotaurs?" Kong Qing asked, puzzled.
"It's nothing." Zuan chuckled awkwardly, not wanting to explain to him what it meant for a pure love party member to kill a minotaur with a single slash.
Kong Qing suppressed his doubts and continued, "Besides these, there are several members of the Golden Crow clan, including King Changsheng Wusheng, King Anyi Wupei, and King Jiuyang Wucheng, who all concurrently serve as martial arts masters."
"General Wei commands the Golden Crow Guards and they jointly assist the Crown Prince, so it's best to avoid them in the future to prevent them from causing you trouble if they stand up for the Crown Prince."
Humans and demons have been fighting each other for thousands of years, learning from each other's strengths and integrating in various aspects. Therefore, the general structure of official positions is also similar.
Zuan couldn't help but secretly complain that the titles of these demon kings were really arbitrary. However, when he thought of his own Phoenix Man, his cuckolded status, and the current Da Ji Bo, he didn't have the courage to laugh at them for a moment.
Kong Qing took off his water bottle to moisten his throat and continued, "Besides the Crown Prince's lineage, there is also the Second Prince's lineage. Although the Second Prince is born out of wedlock, he has profound cultivation and is extremely good at fighting. He is known as one of the four great generals of the demon race."
"The four great generals of the demon race?" Zu An was taken aback.
Kong Qing thought to himself, how come this guy doesn't even know these basic common sense facts? It seems that the snake clan has indeed weakened greatly since the previous Medusa Queen's incident: "The four great generals of the demon clan are the Second Prince, the Little Golden-Winged Roc King, the Scorpion King, and the Flying Leopard King. Not only are their personal cultivation unfathomable, but they are also good at leading troops and fighting battles. They have made great contributions in the wars against the human race over the years."
"Currently, the Scorpion King is fighting against the human race on the front lines, the Flying Leopard King is stationed at the border, and the Second Prince and the Little Golden-Winged Roc King are staying in the capital. Each of them has a powerful army loyal to them, so even if the Second Prince and the Golden Crow Crown Prince are not on good terms, the Crown Prince cannot do anything to him."
The Point Guard is Here
Yan Xuehen frowned and said, "Don't these so-called kings have any specific names?"
Kong Qing looked at her suspiciously, but still explained, "The demon race is different from the human race. In the demon race, the more noble the status, the more likely it is to be replaced by a title. Everyone is proud of this, because to make everyone recognize that you can represent this title proves that you are powerful enough and respected by the masses."
Zu An thought to himself, "No wonder the anger points I received before didn't show specific names. So that's one of the reasons."
"Another faction is the Little Demon Queen. The young prince is the General of the Army and is also responsible for supervising the royal court and the surrounding officials. Unfortunately, the young prince is too young. Although the Little Demon Queen is very skillful, many people think that she relies on her beauty to please people and do not really approve of her."
"Of course, there are also demons, dragons, sea creatures, beastmen, and so on, who also hold high positions, but their main power lies in the provinces, and they are merely passersby in the capital..."
Yu Yanluo said gratefully, "Thank you so much, Mr. Kong, for clearing up our doubts. Otherwise, we would have been completely clueless."
