"Zheng Xuhong?" Song Xiang asked hesitantly, "Will he be willing to ask for this?"

Zhang Yu said confidently, "At this point, is there anything he is willing or unwilling to do? If he wants to live, he must be willing. Tell Li Feng that this matter is easy to handle. He will find a way."

"Okay, I understand." Song Xiang nodded.

The news spread quickly, and Li Feng came to Zheng Xuhong's room again.

"Mr. Li, please come in." Zheng Xuhong smiled when he saw Li Feng, and quickly invited Li Feng in. He respected Li Feng very much now. At this time, there were not many people who would stick with him.

Especially this Li Feng, he is very capable, which is even more rare for Zheng Xuhong, so he is very polite to Li Feng.

After welcoming the person in, Zheng Xuhong said, "Mr. Li, I wonder what brings you here at this time?"

Li Feng thought for a moment and then said, "Sir Zheng, I've thought about this matter over and over again, and I still feel that something is inappropriate. So I want to talk to you about it."

After hearing this, Zheng Xuhong's face turned serious, and then he said, "If there is anything inappropriate, please feel free to speak up, sir."

"We know that Lord Fenglin wants to gain some benefits from this, and he even wants to gain your support so that he can seek the throne. But what benefits will this bring to you, my Lord?"

"Your Excellency can indeed escape, but it's not certain. Even if you can escape, what will happen after you get out? Who knows that Lord Fenglin is working for you, and who knows that Your Excellency is working for Lord Fenglin? This is not good."

"Sir, are you afraid that Lord Fenglin will abandon you after you've served your purpose?" Zheng Xuhong asked with a frown.

"That's right." Li Feng nodded and said, "At this moment, none of us can guarantee what Prince Fenglin is thinking. If he plays both sides and also bets on Jin Zhengmin, things will be difficult to handle."

"Then sir, what do you think I should do?" Zheng Xuhong asked with a frown.

Zheng Xuhong was very clear about his current situation. He felt that Li Feng was overthinking it.

Right now, he was in a precarious situation. What could be more important than saving his life? As long as he could save his life now, other things could be discussed later. As long as his life was saved, there would naturally be another chance. The best thing to do at this time was to avoid trouble.

But Li Feng obviously didn't think so, and Zheng Xuhong still wanted to hear what he had to say.

"I think this matter should be handled by Lord Fenglin. Let him speak to the king. There are two advantages to doing so. The first is that it carries sufficient weight. If you want to protect the lord, this is the safest way. I think the king will not ignore Lord Fenglin's opinion, and the same goes for the ministers in the court."

Li Feng is also a smart man. He knows what Zheng Xuhong is most worried about now, so he simply starts from where he wants it most.

Don't you want to save your life?

This is the best way for me to save your life.

Sure enough, after listening to Li Feng's words, Zheng Xuhong nodded in agreement.

He did think so, and he also thought about a deeper issue. If things were as Li Feng said, and Lord Fenglin was betting on both sides, then his life might not be that important. At the critical moment, he would become a chess piece that could be discarded at any time. This was not what he wanted.

Zheng Xuhong said, "Sir, the second point is that we want Lord Fenglin to stand firmly on our side. If not, we can be abandoned at any time?"

"That's right." Li Feng nodded and said, "Judging from the current situation, Prince Fenglin and Jin Zhengmin must have had problems, so they turned to you. But if Jin Zhengming knew that Prince Fenglin wanted to save you, what would they say?"

"First, they will continue to do their work regardless. Second, they are likely to collude with Prince Fenglin. If Kim Jong-min and his men stop supporting the other princes and instead support Prince Fenglin, the price will be your life. What do you think Prince Fenglin will choose?"

After hearing this, Zheng Xuhong's face turned dark.

This situation is not impossible. Zheng Xuhong can't believe the integrity of people like Jin Zhengmin. As for the integrity of Fenglin Dajun, Zheng Xuhong thinks it is a joke and absolutely impossible to believe it. If you believe it, you will die without a burial place.

Li Feng continued, "So we have to take advantage of this opportunity to make a request and have Lord Fenglin express his stance, letting everyone know that he supports you. Because only in this way can we cut off their collusion and truly rescue you. Otherwise, it will be hard to predict what will happen in the future."

Zheng Xuhong nodded and said, "But what if Lord Fenglin doesn't want to?"

"If he's unwilling, doesn't that just mean he's not sincere?" Li Feng frowned and said, "If that's the case, we should think of other ways."

Zheng Xuhong looked at Li Feng hesitantly and asked, "I wonder what method you are talking about?"

"According to Lin Dechang, those people from the Ming Dynasty are willing to help for benefits. Can't you offer them benefits? We can go directly to the Ming Dynasty envoy and perhaps choose to surrender directly." Li Feng's eyes flickered, and then he said, "Given your current status, I think you need people from the Ming Dynasty. Instead of cooperating with Lord Fenglin, why can't you cooperate with you? If you really want to surrender, why don't they agree?"

"Kim Jong-min and his men have conditions that your Excellency doesn't have. You only ask them to save your life. Why not? If the King can't save you, and Prince Fenglin can't save you, then only the Ming people can save you. As long as you have the support of the Ming people, you may be able to make further progress."
