Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

”It’s about time, the Assistant Minister is arriving soon, let’s find a spot and stand ready!”

Upon Bai Shanqiu’s reminder, Xiang Liang hurriedly suppressed his excitement, glanced around the Holy Platform, saw everyone was already standing according to their noble title rank, and followed Bai Shanqiu to find a spot at the back.

Besides the Assistant Minister Xia Chuan, who presides over tonight’s clan sacrifice, and the two major sect disciples Xia Yuzong and Xia Yuning, there are the remaining over three hundred minor clan leaders and their respective heirs, all strictly standing in five rows according to noble title rank.

The first row has only one person, which is the Director of the Military Department Yuwen Dao, who was promoted to the fifth-rank Jinque Marquis along with the Assistant Minister at the beginning of the year, as he is unmarried, naturally he has no sect heir, so he stands alone;

The second row with sixth-rank Zidian Marquis has only four father-son pairs, namely from Yuan Cheng Yuan Shao, Xu Ning Xu Cheng, Qiu Peng Qiu Hong, Luo Yuan Luo An, plus the solitary Li Tiancheng;

The third row with seventh-rank Qingming Marquis has slightly more father-son combinations: Yue Feng Yue Yuan, Lin Kai Lin Shou, Lu Yang Lu Yuzhou, Liu Yuan Liu Che, Mu Dong Mu Yan, Cheng Feng Cheng Luan, Bai Dongying Bai Yaodun, Zhao Long Zhao Yuanwu, Hong Guang Hong Yu, Meng Yi Meng Ao... totaling 27 pairs;

The fourth row of eighth-rank Chixiao Marquis is even more: Li Yuankun Li Tiandu father-son, Shi Ping Shi Da father-son, Chen Yingyuan Chen Yuan father-son, Peng Bo Peng Zu grandfather-grandson, Hong Tian Hong Ning father-son, Zhu Yuan Zhu Ying father-son, Zhao Hu Zhao Yuankong father-son, Zhao Bao Zhao Yuankang father-son... totaling 61 pairs;

The remaining fifth row consists entirely of ninth-rank Marquises, totaling 295 people, similar to the four rows in front, almost all are father-son or grandfather-grandson combinations, very few are unmarried.

”There are 393 nobles in total, only 390 are present, probably because the noble titles of Huang Yong, Zhu Ling, and Ying Xuan have yet to be successfully inherited by their offspring; hence, they don’t have the qualification to come up.”
