Summoned the Strongest Villain

"The offering from the empire will be presented soon. I am really short of cash and want to borrow some from Lord Tai'an in order to present the offering to the empire. I hope Lord Tai'an can agree."

Hearing Chu Feng's words, Duke Tai'an's expression couldn't help but change. Even Shangguan Song, who was standing behind Duke Tai'an, had a slight change on his calm face.

Duke Tai'an said in a deep voice, "Mr. Chu, are you kidding me?"

"You have just obtained a middle-grade spiritual vein. How can you say that you have more resources than my Tai'an government? Don't you have any supplies you want to offer to the empire?"

Within the Great Yan Empire, there are eighteen prefectures, each of which has a Duke, who needs to present an offering to the Great Yan Empire every ten years to ensure their own position as the Duke.

Once a person fails to submit an offering, the ambassador of the empire will be attracted, and it may not be so easy to get away with it.

The Great Yan Empire can give them fiefdoms, but the bottom line is that they are absolutely not allowed to show any ulterior motives.

Even if there is even a hint of it, it is not allowed, the Great Yan Empire firmly controls the power, this is the strength of the Five-Party Empire.

Chu Feng smiled slightly, "Mr. Tai'an, although there are a lot of middle-grade spiritual mines, my subordinates also need to practice. In three years, even though the middle-grade spiritual mines have been mined, all of them have been consumed. That's why I'm so shy, I want to ask Mr. Tai'an to help me out."

Duke Tai'an took a deep breath, shook his head and said, "Mr. Chu, it's not that I don't want to help you. As a Duke, of course I know the consequences of not being able to hand in the offering, but my Tai'an government really can't come up with more resources. Give it to the Duke of Chu."

Chu Feng nodded slightly, "Okay then, since that's the case, don't bother Duke Tai'an anymore, I'll see if I can borrow some from other Duke's mansions."

After finishing speaking, Chu Feng stood up, bowed his hands towards Duke Tai'an, and left with Hong Ling'er and the others.

Seeing Chu Feng's leaving back, Duke Tai'an felt a sense of uneasiness in his heart.

Chu Feng is a man with a strong personality. Today, he suddenly came to Tai'an Duke's mansion to borrow resources for offerings. It doesn't seem like something Chu Feng can do. The middle-grade spirit mine on Taiwu Mountain back then, Chu Feng He didn't even say hello to him, so he just forcibly snatched it away.

Now there is already a sliver of enmity between the two, not to mention that he really can't afford to lend him the supplies, even if he has, it's impossible to lend him. Doesn't he know it in his own mind?

……

On the way back to Duke Chu's mansion.

Hong Ling'er asked Chu Feng in the carriage.

"Hey, with your personality, you probably don't really want to ask Tai'an Lord to borrow offerings, do you?"

Chu Feng smiled slightly, "How do you feel?"

Hong Ling'er shook her head and said, "It's not like, according to your personality, even if you are really short of offering materials, you will grab them instead of borrowing them."

In this world that regards martial arts as the most important thing, it is only the performance of the weak, and the strong will take action to snatch it. Chu Feng has a powerful style, how did he make such an abnormal move today?

Chu Feng smiled mysteriously, "Of course I didn't really ask him to borrow it. Around us, only the Tai'an Duke's Mansion is the weakest. I ask him to borrow the offering materials, which is a policy of courtesy first and then soldiers."

"After all, the princes conquer each other. Even if the empire doesn't care about it, we still need a good excuse. Otherwise, the trouble will be too big. After people in the empire know about it, what should we do if they fear us? Our current strength is not enough to fight against the empire. So we can only stabilize the empire first, and then slowly grow ourselves."

Hong Linger nodded clearly.

"Hey, it's really troublesome. If I care about so many reasons, I can just grab it. Even if the empire has an opinion, it's a big deal. Who can be afraid of whom?"

Hearing Hong Ling'er's words, Chu Feng felt like he was talking to a child.

If he really has the strength to compete against the empire, he still needs to be so low-key, and he can just push horizontally like when he was in the Central Plains, no excuses to use.

Back to the Duke of Chu.

Chu Feng wrote a letter and sent it to Jiangshanhou's mansion.

After Qi Guogong became Marquis, Jiang Chen has been in contact with Chu Feng, and sometimes people will send news, hoping that he will go to the territory of Jiangshan Marquis to have a small gathering with him.

But Chu Feng still had a lot of things in his hands, and he couldn't leave at all, so he directly pushed them down.

This time he was going to attack the Tai'an government, and he needed to use the Jiang family.

After becoming the Marquis of Jiangshan, the Jiang family has become an important family in the Great Yan Empire. As long as the Jiang family operates in the empire and talks to those people in the empire, I believe that no one in the empire will come out to make things difficult for him, and he will You can rest assured that the opponent Tai'an government will make a move.

……

Half a month later, Jiang Chen's news finally came.

There will be no problem with taking action against the Tai'an government, but before the five-party empire war, it is only this time, and if there is anything else, it can only be discussed after the five-party empire war.

Chu Feng directly agreed.

Millions of soldiers, armed with icy cold weapons, charged towards Tai'an Duke's mansion aggressively.

Hearing the report from his subordinates, Lord Tai'an's expression couldn't help but change.

"Chu Feng, as expected, you still don't give up. It turns out that you are paying attention to me first."

"I underestimated you. If that's the case, then let's kill the fish and break the net."

Lord Tai'an said in a low voice.

"Duke, Chu Feng's army is about to reach the border, do you want to send troops?"

Shangguan Song walked in and reported to Tai'an.

Lord Tai'an nodded slightly, "Send troops, send me a message to those vassal states in an instant, let them also send a large army to fight against Chu Feng with me, otherwise, once the Duke of Tai'an is defeated, they will not end well."

Tai'an Duke's Mansion is not as large as Chu State's Mansion, and the vassal states in the mansion have already been recovered by Tai'an Duke both soft and hard. Although those vassal states are still their own countries, there are very few wars between them.

After receiving the news from the Duke of Tai'an, all the vassal states sent troops to the border one after another, preparing to resist the invasion of the army of the Duke of Chu.

As long as you are not a fool, you can understand the truth of the dead lips and cold teeth, let alone those princes and kings, who know this truth even more.

Although the Tai'an government is very strong, if the Tai'an government is defeated, their interests will also be damaged.
