"Your Highness...thank you!" Feng Ang felt disgusted when he heard the word "honest" coming out of the mouth of His Highness the King of Chu.

"Hey, Lord Feng, the ground is cold, hurry up and get up!" Seeing that his goal had been achieved, His Royal Highness the King of Chu didn't care what the other party was thinking. Immediately, a wise king... bah... a wise King of Chu stepped forward and helped up his "loyal" confidant: "Come on, Lord Feng, let's sit down and talk."

"Am I..." Feng Ang was now feeling increasingly uneasy.

No... this bastard... is he planning to use my army as the main force when he rebels?!

"Lord Feng," after helping Feng Ang back to his seat, His Royal Highness the King of Chu sat back down and began to reveal his true intentions: "Earlier, the Tang Dynasty reached a cooperation agreement with Tubo, Tuyuhun, Xueyantuo, and Tocharistan: the five countries will join forces to launch an attack on India."

boom!

At this moment, a bolt of lightning suddenly flashed through Feng Ang's mind, making him dizzy for an instant.

"Your Highness..." At this moment, Feng Ang began to miss his mother who had passed away many years ago: "You...you are planning to...let me send troops on behalf of the Tang Dynasty?!"

"That's right!" His Royal Highness the King of Chu found that once this man got the hang of things, he liked him no matter how he looked at him: "Lord Feng, don't worry, I will definitely not let you work for nothing. As long as we win this battle, I will make the decision myself and give you a title of Marquis of the Feng family. How about that?!"

"Your Highness..." Wang Xuance was shocked when he heard His Highness the King of Chu say this, "How could you make such a promise?!"

"Ah?!" His Royal Highness the King of Chu, who had already planned to take the younger generation of the Feng family with him when attacking Goguryeo, waved his hand upon hearing this: "Lord Feng has worked so hard and made so many contributions, and his Feng family is so loyal to the country. A mere Duke of Heirloom is not enough to reward the Feng family for their contributions! If I were not afraid that the Feng family with two Dukes would be too dazzling and arouse jealousy, I would have planned to find a way to get him the title of Duke of Heirloom!"

His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu has always been good at learning from others.

Of course, the prerequisite is that he thinks that person has something.

The skill of making big promises that he used now originated from the old housekeeper of the Dou Mansion who often cheated him into putting cakes and preserved fruits into his pocket by making empty promises when he was a child. Speaking of which, the old man was older than Jiang Qu, and it was unknown whether he was still alive...

His Royal Highness the King of Chu's thoughts flew far away.

And Feng Ang...

He almost felt like he was flying.

He didn't expect the court would suddenly make such a big fuss.

Attack India...

That was a large country with a land area far larger than Goguryeo...

No wonder His Royal Highness the King of Chu was unwilling to make it clear in advance. Such a plot cannot be easily leaked.

Feng Ang realized this and understood that he had boarded a pirate ship and could not get off.

According to the character of His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu, if I still want to regret it now, he will turn around and scatter the ashes of the entire Feng family!

"Your Highness..." Feng Ang took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled: "If my Feng family voluntarily gives up Lingnan, can you..."

"No, Lord Feng!" Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the King of Chu said with a bitter face, "The Feng family can no longer stay in Lingnan, but this does not mean that you don't have a better place to go: the territory of Pyu Kingdom is much larger than that of Lingnan, and it is rich in grain. This Feng Shui treasure land is enough to bury... Pah Pah Pah... Have you been settled?"

"..." Feng Ang knew that what His Highness the King of Chu said just now was not a slip of the tongue: if you are willing to be a chess piece in his hand, then you will be placed in a new position; if you are not willing, then you will be buried!

At this moment, Feng Ang began to feel a huge sense of powerlessness in his heart.

More than a dozen generations have worked hard and lay dormant carefully, but just when they were about to succeed, they were swept out in the most effortless way by a true child of destiny.

This is real despair!

“Lord Feng, why don’t you say anything?” His Highness the King of Chu didn’t know that Feng Ang’s heart had gradually become “northwesterly” at this time, and he had already regarded him as the real “Demon King”, so he pretended to be helpless and continued: “Lord Feng… It’s not that I want to force you. You know that the men of Guanzhong cannot adapt to the climate of the south in a short period of time, let alone enter the mountains and forests to fight, so this is what’s suffering for you.”

"Your Highness...you don't have to say anything." Feng Ang closed his eyes tightly when he heard this, his voice trembling slightly: "Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back! Since I have already agreed to this matter, I should naturally be responsible to the end!"

"Mr. Feng is so righteous!" His Royal Highness the King of Chu raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and his attitude also changed.

He said, "How about this. I said to Lu Dongzan that I would give you five hundred archers from the Feng family. Now I will double that number - I will give you one thousand! Lord Feng, don't underestimate these one thousand archers. They have fought with me in the northwest countless times. They are the real elites under my command! In the future, you will see their amazing combat power."

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Upon hearing this, Feng Ang immediately stood up and wanted to bow to Li Kuan again, but was stopped by the latter who stepped forward quickly.

"Lord Feng..." After beating the opponent several times, His Royal Highness the King of Chu offered sweet treats one after another: "Don't think this is too difficult. In fact, our main attack is the Kingdom of Pyu. After conquering the Kingdom of Pyu, your energy should be mainly focused on how to defend the Kingdom of Pyu. As for Tianzhu further west, we can just show our appreciation. After all, we will not participate in the division of those territories after conquering them. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Is this what Your Highness means?" - Feng Ang did not expect that this fellow actually had something called "conscience": "After conquering the Pyu Kingdom, the Feng family will not have to fight for their lives?"

"Nonsense!" Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu patted the old man's shoulder and almost knocked him to the ground. Fortunately, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu reached out and supported him: "Mr. Feng, I have always deeply understood a truth: those who rely on their strength will inevitably bully the weak. Therefore, Lingnan does not allow a strong Feng family, but--" His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu said this, and suddenly changed the subject: "Now that you have already thought about serving the country, you should enjoy the courtesy of a national hero. Don't worry, with this king here, the Tang Dynasty will never let a true national hero feel disappointed!"

"Your Highness!" - Feng Ang finally understood at this moment why all the generals in the court were biased towards His Highness the King of Chu: Damn it, Emperor Zhaolie of Han Dynasty... was no more than this back then!

"Lord Feng, then we have a deal." His Royal Highness the King of Chu said as he took Feng Ang's hand and said solemnly: "When Lord Feng goes south, I will also go north to quell the Western Turks. By then, we will work together to make sure that everyone in the world knows what the saying 'The glorious Tang Dynasty is blessed by heaven!'"

"Your Highness!" After hearing that His Highness the King of Chu was going to attack the Western Turks, Feng Ang knew that the other side had truly regarded him as one of their own. So, in the face of His Highness the King of Chu's "popular and refined" and "loyalty and rebellion are almost carried out at the same time" speech, he finally said only one sentence: "In this war, even if this old minister is brave and courageous, he will not let you down!"
