Even Zhou Boqian had not expected that the Seventeenth Prince would help Chen Xuan secure the territories of the fallen lords. In truth, Zhou Boqian had considered it himself, but as a frontier commander, he lacked the authority to reassign land. While the Seventeenth Prince did not technically possess that power either, his status was such that if he were to suggest it to the high-ranking officials responsible for land distribution, they would undoubtedly grant him the favor.
No one else in the tent dared to object, save for Kuren, who, lacking any sense of the situation, spoke up: "Seventeenth Prince, this... surely does not conform to regulations, does it?" Given the disastrous performance of the team he led, Kuren was already facing severe punishment; to distribute a fallen lord's territory to Chen Xuan without prior reporting would be adding crime upon crime.
"Hmph, the Seventeenth Prince has already spoken. How can you be so tactless?" the Duke of Wei snorted coldly. Kuren turned pale with fright and hurriedly knelt to beg for forgiveness.
