"Your Highness...if I remember correctly...Li Si's reputation doesn't seem to be very good..." Feng Ang saw that His Highness the King of Chu was using allusions again, so he could only bite the bullet and explain: "I don't have the same ambition as Li Si..."

"Alas! Lord Feng is wrong!" When His Royal Highness the King of Chu saw Feng Ang's statement, he immediately smiled and said, "When Li Si was under the rule of the King of Qin, he was a rare wise minister."

"..." Feng Ang felt that some of the Kings of Chu did not have a clear understanding of him. Although in his eyes, a certain barbarian who worshipped the First Emperor was at most comparable to Hu Hai, the Second Emperor of Qin, the situation was stronger than the person, and he did not intend to correct the other party's mistakes: "Your Highness is right..."

"That makes sense, doesn't it?" His Royal Highness the King of Chu said proudly, "For example, Wei Zheng was a wise minister who was 'unappreciated' under Li Jiancheng. Now under my father's command, he has become a treacherous minister who frequently offers slanderous remarks. What do you think——"

"Alas! Your Highness the King of Chu!" Feng Ang never expected that the King of Chu in front of him would be so talented in confusing right and wrong. Of course, this was not the point. The point was that the timing of this gentleman's words was really perfect: "You said this... It has nothing to do with me!"

"Ah? I didn't say it has anything to do with you..." His Royal Highness the King of Chu looked at Feng Ang, who was horrified, and asked in confusion: "Lord Feng... is that so..."

"——Your Highness, it's really not that serious." As the saying goes, "People who keep silent behind others are most afraid of being caught in the act." When Wei Zheng, who was dressed in court robes, suddenly took over the conversation behind His Highness the Prince of Chu in a deep voice, even His Highness the Prince of Chu, who had been unrestrained and indulgent all his life, began to feel a little unbearable.

“No…” At this time, His Royal Highness the King of Chu turned around and looked in the direction of the voice. When he saw that the person coming was indeed Wei Zheng, he had a look of grievance that he could not hide: “You…you kings and ministers all play like this, right? I just said something in private, and you guys came here?!”

"If His Royal Highness the King of Chu was not in the habit of commenting on other people's right and wrong behind their backs, there wouldn't have been such an embarrassing situation today!" Wei Zheng didn't expect that he was ordered to come and see Feng Ang off, but what happened was - before he could even break a willow branch to send him off, His Royal Highness the King of Chu almost sent him away with just one word.

To be honest... His Royal Highness the King of Chu's comment that Wei Zheng was a talented but unappreciated minister in the eyes of Crown Prince Yin is not wrong.

After all, if Li Jiancheng had listened to Wei Zheng and taken the initiative against Emperor Li II, the former might have had a chance of survival.

only……

What bothered Wei Zheng at the moment was why the King of Chu had evaluated him - when he came to His Majesty, he became a "flattering minister who frequently offered slanderous words"...

“Duke Wei…” Perhaps because of some mysterious induction, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu could clearly sense the resentment in Wei Zheng’s heart at the same time, so his attitude when he spoke at this moment seemed particularly gentle: “I was just joking with Lord Feng just now, you must not take it seriously… Especially don’t talk too much to my father later…”

"Your Majesty, the King of Chu, would you allow me to have a few words with Lord Feng?" Wei Zheng now only wanted to complete the task assigned by His Majesty as soon as possible, and then return home to bathe, change clothes and get rid of bad luck.

"As you please, as you please..." Seeing that Wei Zheng had a stern face, His Royal Highness the King of Chu immediately staggered to the other side, leaving the venue to the two of them.

"Mr. Feng," Wei Zheng said to Feng Ang solemnly after His Royal Highness the King of Chu had gone far away, "Your Majesty asked me to come and see you off. Do you know the purpose of this?"

"..." Feng Ang looked at this representative of the Shandong gentry in front of him and hesitated for a long time. Then he replied with a bitter expression: "I understand."

"Very good then," Wei Zheng nodded after hearing this, knowing that Feng Ang's move meant that he wanted to completely distance himself from the Shandong gentry behind him: "Then Mr. Feng, we will meet again in the future."

After Wei Zheng said this, he turned around and got on the carriage waiting for him not far away, without paying any attention to the embarrassed look on Feng Ang's face. The carriage then drove slowly towards Chang'an.

As Feng Ang looked at the carriage going away, the confusion in his eyes gradually turned into determination.

Ever since Feng Zhidai was fooled once and took the initiative to step forward and play the role of the first person to speak out, the Feng family of Lingnan has been in danger.

My Feng family will never make the same mistake a second time!

With this thought in mind, Feng Ang turned his gaze to His Royal Highness the King of Chu who was peeing at the willow tree by the river...

Hmm... this one... seems to be a bigger mistake...

Ugh……

After a while.

"Mr. Feng, this Ferghana horse is for you!" Judging from the expression on Wei Zheng's face when he left, as well as Feng Ang's behavior of becoming less talkative after that, it was clear that there was no atmosphere of good conversation between the two during this brief conversation.

In this case, it is necessary for His Royal Highness the King of Chu to step forward at this time and demonstrate his kingly demeanor of respecting the wise and humble.

"Your Highness, is this... an initiation ceremony?" Feng Ang was a military general, so naturally he coveted the BMW. However, he also knew clearly that almost every military general in the court had received a Ferghana horse from His Highness the King of Chu. So Feng Ang, who had received this honor today, naturally had this question.

"What initiation ceremony?" His Royal Highness the King of Chu scratched his head upon hearing this, thinking that this Feng Ang was even crazier than himself. "We won a great victory in the northwest, and I have seized a large number of Ferghana horses. Naturally, our military will have a share."

"Your Highness is so righteous." Feng Ang was stunned when he heard His Highness the King of Chu say this, and then he said respectfully: "Since Your Highness regards me as your confidant, I naturally regard Your Highness as an excellent leader. Your Highness, from today on, our Lingnan Feng family is willing to serve His Highness the King of Chu!"

"What are you doing..." When His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu saw Feng Ang kneeling down for no apparent reason, still shouting words like "confidant" and "hero", he inexplicably felt guilty: "Alas... get up quickly! How can you form a party... in broad daylight..."

"Your Highness, I have a request that I do not want to make." While His Highness the King of Chu was helping him up, Feng Ang intended to ask His Highness the King of Chu for a guarantee.

"Oh, father-in-law, you don't have to say anything. I understand everything." As soon as the Prince of Chu spoke, he interrupted what Feng Ang was about to say: "Don't worry, I will treat your daughter well in the future and will never let her feel sad."

"No, Your Highness..." After hearing what His Royal Highness the King of Chu said, Feng Ang was briefly shocked for a moment, and then he said: "How do you know what I am going to say..."
