Li Yu still remembered the chat with Ella not long ago, where they talked about the court struggles of the nobles in the new era.

Under normal circumstances, the area of ​​the territory will not expand out of thin air. Without the special support of the Kingdom of God, new cities cannot be built at will, and other neighboring nobles cannot be conquered. In other words, the territory that can be inherited is basically fixed.

But there is not just one descendant of the nobles.

Three or four heirs are considered relatively moderate. Often some lords with particularly active lower bodies will produce dozens of heirs. As a result, when the death knell of the old lord rings, it is often bloody. Those heirs will kill each other.

, until the final winner is left.

Of course, the warning of the kingdom of God is not like this. When every new heir is born, the divine messenger will wish him to "treat his brothers and sisters with a sincere heart of unity and friendship," but in reality, most of them cannot do so.

When the new lord came to the throne, brothers who could pose a threat died or fled. Only a few were able to retain their noble status and continue to live uneasily in the familiar palace.

On the contrary, the princesses and ladies who have no inheritance rights are much safer than these male nobles.

So Li Yu asked: "If His Highness Yiai gives up resistance completely, do you think he can really survive, Your Highness Hilelia?"

Hilaria was also speechless for a moment.

Li Yu continued: "Because I came too late, indeed, the probability of success is not very high. But if I am here, even if His Highness Yiai cannot succeed, at least he can escape."

Hilelia's eyes widened: "Are you saying, take him to escape? But I want to remind you, I don't know what brother Yiai promised you, but if he is no longer the heir, no longer a noble,

Then he won't be able to fulfill any of his promises."

Li Yu's lips curled up: "His Royal Highness Yiai did promise me some things, but to be honest, I'm not very interested in those things. The reason why I'm helping him now is just because I think it's worth helping a group of nobles.

not much."

Although he has never met any new era nobles before in Yiai, this does not prevent Li Yu from pretending to have seen through the vicissitudes of the nobles' virtues. After all, in movies, TV dramas and history books, local tyrants, evil gentry and low-class nobles

His face was no stranger to him.

Hilelia stared at him coldly and muttered: "It seems that your real age is much older than your appearance."

Li Yu spread his hands: "This is normal. You have already said that I am a mage. But then again, is it really okay for us to talk about this in such a public place?"

"If you don't want to be eavesdropped, it's safer here than in the palace. Well, since Brother Yiai has already thought about it, it's useless no matter what I say now. You should try to be more careful in the future."

After saying this, Hilaria lowered her face to her brother as a farewell gift, then turned and walked away.

Her steps were very steady, without the briskness that is common among girls of this age.

Li Yu moved into the new room with his bag on his back.

This room is located in the main hall. Although it is relatively close to the side, it is also very spacious. From every furnishing in the room to the brightly colored carpets, they all reflect the wealth of the palace owner.

If you look closely, you can see that the vases in the room are all porcelain. Of course this would not be a big deal in JDZ, but this is Yazd, a West Asian desert city with no ceramic industry.

Li Yu walked to the bed and reached out to touch it. The white sheets had a very delicate feel, a quality that could not be compared to the hotel in Baghdad.

"There is a subtle electromagnetic signal in this room," Ella told him in the earphone, "It should be a bug, and maybe a pinhole camera."

Li Yu smiled and said nothing.

There was a knock on the door.

He turned around and saw Yiai standing at the door with a nervous expression.

"Mr. Li, can you go out and talk to me?"

"Of course there is no problem."

————

The garden outside the main hall is very wide. Walking in it, Li Yu can't help but feel like he has returned to the People's Park in the old days. But there are far fewer people here. Although it is evening, it is as quiet as in the early morning.

's park.

In the palace, apart from a few main nobles, there are guards and maids. The number of guards and maids is much larger, adding up to hundreds, but their presence is not high, and they will not have any trouble getting around their highnesses.

.

Li Yu looked around. There were two maids following behind him, more than ten meters apart. If Yiai raised his voice, he could summon them immediately. But if there was no need to give instructions, they would always follow behind silently.

, never attract unnecessary attention.

Yiai lowered his voice and said: "A few days ago, when my father's condition became more and more serious, he warned me not to talk about ulterior things in the palace. I discussed it with Hilelia, and we felt that it should be

He knows that the eldest brother or the second brother has the means to eavesdrop."

Li Yu nodded and said: "Indeed, it is better to be careful. It is so wide outside, but it is difficult to be eavesdropped."

Yi Ai: "You told my sister before that you wanted to take me to escape or something...don't you really think so?"

Li Yu: "That is impossible."

Yi Ai: "In other words, you are still willing to help me win first?"

Li Yu asked, "Your Highness, what can you do?"

Yi Ai couldn't help but be stunned.

Seeing him like this, Li Yu secretly sighed. Her Highness Hilelia was indeed right. Her third brother was not suitable for power struggles. How could he, at this juncture, still pin his hopes on the few people he just met?

On someone from heaven?

Li Yu actually didn't tell the truth just now.

The reason why he agreed to help Yi Ai was just to quickly leave the area near the floating city. Now that his goal was achieved, he could leave and go to Afghanistan as planned in the first place. For Li Yu, it was very difficult to persuade Yi Ai to give up.

With that misty hope, it is undoubtedly the best choice to bring more belongings, get in the car and run away.

He considered it carefully and said: "Your Highness, my idea is to observe again to see if there are any opportunities that can be exploited. If there is really no chance, then the only choice is to run away."

Yiai was silent for a while and then said: "Just now, my eldest brother Bahla came to me and said that he would hold a reception banquet for me. The banquet will be held tomorrow night. You should be able to observe it then, right?"

"Can."

Yes, yes, but Li Yu doesn't think he can observe any results tomorrow night. A banquet for nobles like this is nothing more than a face-saving celebration and some nice words. On such an occasion, what progress can be made?
