Ning Que looked into the distance.
These captives could only eat offal and rotten vegetable leaves, and they all devoured them ravenously, fearing that others would snatch them away.
"Your Majesty, should we prepare to fake our own death?"
"Yes, I have a plan." Ning Que looked towards the north and said softly, "Emperor Feng is a cunning man. He is known for his caution. He wants to see the person alive or the body dead. I want to fake my death and escape, but it's not that easy. My plan is to deliberately let Gao Suwen lead his troops to withdraw during the attack on Goguryeo.

With the ability of Emperor Feng, how could he not take action against them?
In order to protect himself, the King of Chu could not cooperate with Emperor Feng.
So, Lingnan is absolutely safe!
Perhaps, by then, I can still cooperate with the King of Chu...
