"You can start eating now," Long Qian Xing and looked at Song Yi Liang. The little guy was already paying close attention to the food in front of him. Clearly, he was hungry but retraining himself.
"Okay." Song Chuan nodded.
They all started to eat and Song Yi Liang was definitely the happiest. He was already so hungry and now that they started eating, he ate well and still followed the etiquette.
As they were eating, Long Qian Xing continued to talk with Song Chuan, "Anything else I have to pay attention to?"
"The Xiao Family might want to contact your wife," Song Chuan replied. "They're relatively neutral in their stance, but it didn't mean they wouldn't try to make connections. As a big family, they know very well how to maintain their connections."
Long Qian Xing's eyes deepened.
The Xiao Family was one of the biggest family in the entire Fei Yang Kingdom. After the subjugation, there are also many nobles and so on from other kingdoms that were reorganized, but most of them would not hold the same important position as before.
On the other hand, the Xiao Family was still holding on important position.
"The military families have been losing a lot in the past few years." Long Qian Xing shook his head when he thought about this.
Due to the war with various kingdoms, many generals have fallen and their families naturally would not receive the same treatment as before.
Even if they would still be able to live comfortably for a long time due to the family's wealth and the Emperor would not do anything to them, it was still different. Many of them chose to move away from Fei Yang Kingdom's Capital City.
Because they knew that if they stayed here, they might be eaten clean without any bones left.
And in the past decade, Long Qian Xing had watched this too often.
Many families fell and rise.
In the politics alone, there were many families who conflicted with each other and fell midway. And for the military families, their situation was not any better when it was war time.
For example, the Shangguan Family.
It used to thrive along with the Long Family and the Nan Family but now there were almost no trace left from them.
Most of them had died on the battlefield and by this time, there was not much mention of them anymore.
The few descendants left were very only a pitiful number of people.
And there were not much military power held in their hands.
The Shangguan Family was clearly not the last one and there were also many other families out there. After all, for some families, the highest rank didn't even reach a general and only some high ranked commanders.
But many of them had died on the battlefield.
As for the Xiao Family...
"Planting people here and there, huh?" Long Qian Xing shook his head. "As expected of them."
