Capítulo 318: Returning to the capital in triumph, shocking the world!

The king was speechless.

Duke?

Young master Shen, you think too highly of me.

In the great Yan Empire, no one with a different surname could be conferred the title of King.

It was almost an iron-clad rule that a person with a different surname could not be conferred the title of Duke in the few kingdoms below.

Young master Shen, don't forget that the countries in the East were all duchies decades ago. It was not until the rise of Jiang Li that the Emperor wantonly conferred Kings in order to restrain Jiang Li that there were several kingdoms.

In the entire Yue country, there was only one Duke with a different surname, and that was Bian Xiao.

Even Zhongyao was only a Marquis.

However, Bian Xiao had already been a Marquis in Wu country. Furthermore, he had made a huge contribution by saving the entire Yue country.

It had directly changed the fate of Yue State and Wu State.
