Chapter 191 Marquis Zhang Feng draws a line



The king's words shocked Zhang Feng! No matter where you are, treason is not a good word. Haven't you seen how many innocent people died because of this word?

Zhang Feng didn't understand why the king said this to an outsider like him.

This even made Zhang Feng a little worried that he might be implicated.

Don't blame him for being careful, after all, his own safety is the most important.

But since the king had told him such a confidential matter, Zhang Feng couldn't pretend not to hear it.

"Your Majesty, are you sure your information is reliable?"

"reliable."

Zhang Feng originally planned to sell this steam car in the royal capital. He estimated that like in Moore City, it should be possible to sell it for 100,000 gold coins. He could even sell it for a higher price after operating it.

The king stopped Zhang Feng from apologizing. He took out the compact monocular telescope with great interest and pointed one end to his eyes according to the instructions on the note.

"That's right. Besides the Lord of Iron City, he is the First Knight of Buck Kingdom, the current Grand Duke of Orlan! At the same time, he is also my brother..."

After hearing what the king said, Zhang Feng was relieved. It seemed that he was overthinking and the king had no other intentions.

As a king, when he saw the introduction on the note, what he thought of was not to peek at beautiful women, but to use it for war!

Although this telescope is amazing, you never know if you might encounter someone with poor vision using it.

So, Zhang Feng gave this so-called gift with the idea of ​​"If I can't bribe you, I'll bribe your boss."

Zhang Feng spoke quickly.

He understood it, but Zhang Feng had no intention of getting involved.

The fastest way to improve the rank is through military merit, but now the country is not at war, so it is impossible to get a lot of military merit, so the Marquis is the highest rank that can be achieved in peacetime! "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

As the ruler of a country, what kind of beauty can't he get? Why would he need this thing! Even to the king, this is disrespectful. If the king is really angry, he will be charged with disrespecting the king.

The king's tone was somewhat bleak.

The king was stunned. He knew that Zhang Feng had misunderstood, but he couldn't bring himself to refuse.

Zhang Feng thought with some satisfaction.

Marquis, how big a territory would this be! At least it would be several times larger than his current territory, right? What would he do with it? Build a skyscraper? Build an amusement park? Or a racetrack...

Zhang Feng spoke weakly.

Zhang Feng had reason to suspect that this Grand Duke of Oran had something to do with this Cast Iron City.

There was not much content on the note, and the king finished reading it quickly. Then he looked at Zhang Feng with some surprise.

Zhang Feng shook his head and complained in his heart. He didn't even know this Cast Iron City, so how could he know who the city lord was? However, Zhang Feng still answered honestly:

Being called the first knight of the Buck Kingdom, his strength must be unquestionable. Zhang Feng doesn't want to deal with such a person, at least not now.

Zhang Feng felt a little surprised, but also it was reasonable.

"What do you need from me?"

A small number of them are relatives of the king, such as Grand Duke Oran of the Iron City in the south.

Zhang Feng said loudly, without hiding the surprise on his face. It only took a month for him to jump directly from Baron to Marquis!

The king smiled and spoke.

Zhang Feng's eyes lit up. Gossip - no, stories and the like, he loved it the most.

At first, he didn't expect that the other party was the king, so he chose a topic that the nobles were more interested in. If he knew he was the king, Zhang Feng would definitely have changed his statement, such as the clairvoyance on the battlefield or something like that.

"I want to send a team of knights to investigate Ironforge."

For other nobles, the title may be a lifelong pursuit, but for Zhang Feng, the title is secondary, and the territory is the real thing! Only with people and land can you do more things! How can this be done without a fiefdom!

"The Lord of Iron City is called Orlan Buck."

Zhang Feng didn't think that the king just wanted to chat with him.

"Do you know who the lord of Iron City is?"

"This is?"

"But there are no beauties here for me to try!"

Zhang Feng calmly changed "like" to "appreciate".

For example, you can use this telescope to peek at beautiful women.

The king had never seen the small steam car, but as the highest being in the Buck Kingdom, he was very clear about what was happening under his nose.

"good!"

But there is no if, and it is too late to say anything now. Zhang Feng lowered his head, somewhat unwilling to look directly at the king.

The king sounded a little disappointed. In fact, he hoped that his royal knights could capture the lord of Iron City alive. If they could really capture him, things would be much simpler.

Zhang Feng covered his face. He didn't even think that Anne's father was the king, otherwise he wouldn't have given her this gift. Or, even if he had given it, he wouldn't have written this note.

The king was not polite. He really liked this telescope and had even thought about the next use of it.

The king spoke in confusion.

Zhang Feng was not so stupid as to deny what he said. After all, this was just an ordinary telescope with a low magnification. Zhang Feng had not yet taken out those high-magnification telescopes that could actually be used in war.

However, the king had not finished speaking yet, and Zhang Feng could only resist the urge to interrupt him.

There was a palm-sized cylinder lying quietly inside, with the two ends being of different thicknesses. In addition to the cylinder, there was also a small piece of paper.

With a slight click , the box opened.

Without looking at the strange cylinder first, the king picked up the note.

"Because you have a fief, I will no longer grant you a fief..."

Zhang Feng felt that the nobles were basically very rich and had nothing lacking in them. Without a gimmick, the other party might not even be willing to give it a try.

"By the way, did you ask Princess Anne to give this to me?"

It turned out that Zhang Feng wrote on the note that with this telescope, no matter which beauty you see, no one can escape your eyes! And this telescope is just a gift for meeting. Zhang Feng wants the knight Abe. If he is willing to exchange, Zhang Feng will give him a few more small things. If he is not willing to exchange, this will be a gift for meeting two people who have never met before.

“I can really see things far away!”

The king suddenly spoke.

Since Zhang Feng was so polite, how could he refuse!

The king quickly turned around and looked again.

Zhang Feng finally understood why the king kept asking him about "Red Leaf Steam No. 1". It turned out that he was preparing to transport troops.

"Count Zhang Feng, is this telescope really that magical?"

The king didn't expect Zhang Feng to be able to answer. After he asked the question, he gave the answer directly.

Wang Guo suddenly asked Zhang Feng.

"Which places do you want?"

The king shrugged.

The king's face was filled with shock.

The king played with it for a long time before reluctantly putting it down and speaking to Zhang Feng.

The king did not ask in advance what was inside, as he still had a sense of anticipation.

The small steam car that Zhang Feng drove into the city had already been presented on the king's desk in writing. It would be a lie to say that he didn't like it.

He said with a grateful look on his face, "I am honored to be appreciated by Her Majesty the Queen!"

"…Besides the fief, what else do you want? I will satisfy you!"

"She said you're an interesting person. Not only is you interesting, but some of your inventions are also interesting. They're no less interesting than the steam train parked outside..."

Zhang Feng explained carefully:

Zhang Feng nodded without hesitation.

Zhang Feng had forgotten about this matter before, and now when he saw it again, he felt a little embarrassed.

"Yes, you will know once you try it."

"oh oh."

But who knew that the person he was going to send off was the king!

"Huh? How did you become so small? Is there something wrong with your telescope?"

This aroused the king's interest. After all, even the queen said that Zhang Feng was an interesting person.

His words surprised the king. This Earl Zhang Feng was indeed as interesting as the queen said! The king smiled and said, "But I want some other little things..."

After all, if you lose money, you can go back and earn it again. But if you anger the king, it will be a problem whether you can go back smoothly. After all, the king’s "hint" just now was so obvious, Zhang Feng thought he heard it.

Unfortunately, the king did not tell all of this as Zhang Feng had expected. Instead, he talked about some trivial matters. He did not act like a king at all, but rather like an elder.

Although he had no relationship with the queen, some minor incidents had happened between them, which was undeniable. Did the king know about it?

"To His Majesty, of course."

Although the king asked in a questioning tone, Zhang Feng was not stupid enough to object. Besides, he did not want to object. What was above the earl? It was the marquis! In terms of title, it was already the biggest existence under the duke! The duke, also known as the grand duke, was something Zhang Feng did not dare to think about. After all, this title was impossible to obtain without making great contributions to the kingdom. Most of the few grand dukes in the Buck Kingdom were granted when they followed Buck I to establish the Buck Kingdom.

"Your Majesty, I didn't know that Abe's master was you, otherwise..."

Zhang Feng was impressed by Abe's skills and wanted to recruit her to his side, but after all, Abe was a knight and loyalty was one of her creeds. Unless there were unexpected circumstances, Zhang Feng would not be able to recruit her.

Zhang Feng heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that the king accepted it. Although Zhang Feng was a little unhappy about the king asking for something in front of him, it was worth any amount of money if it could help him avoid disaster. Besides, the car didn't cost that much.

The gifts were naturally inspected to make sure that there was nothing in them that could harm the king before they were handed over to the king.

Zhang Feng recognized it at a glance. This box was one of the two gifts he gave to Annie.

Zhang Feng's words here are very nice. Regardless of whether there is an exchange or not, whoever gets the telescope will not lose out. However, some of his words are written in a rather vulgar way.

"Haha, no problem."

The kingdom seems very grand, and as a king, he has the capital to be grand.

It seems like there are many stories hidden in it.

The king was somewhat surprised and said:

"Your Majesty, you are holding it upside down..."

The king originally intended to agree to the exchange. Although a royal knight was important, a telescope that could influence the war situation was more important.

"That goes to His Majesty the King as well."

The king took out a small box, beautifully wrapped.

"good!"

Zhang Feng almost broke out in a cold sweat. What was going on? The king's "like" meant "like" in that way?

"I... just want a fiefdom..."

What? The king's words stunned Zhang Feng.

If it was given by someone else, the king naturally would not be interested in seeing it, but this was brought to him by Princess Anne herself, and the person who gave the gift was Zhang Feng.

Zhang Feng couldn't understand the king's thoughts for a moment and could only deal with it.

Now it seems that this is totally possible!

And the facts also proved Zhang Feng's suspicion.

If he remembered correctly, Zhang Feng had heard in More City at that time that the most powerful knight of the Buck Kingdom and also the Duke of the Buck Kingdom, Oran Buck, was in the south.

Zhang Feng could only answer reluctantly.

After all, no matter how good a person's eyesight is, it has its limits, and this telescope is for seeing things beyond the limit! Seeing that the king couldn't let it go, Zhang Feng knew that the king must have considered other aspects, such as war or something.

"Count Zhang Feng really wants to give this to me?"

This made Zhang Feng very embarrassed.

"What if I don't plan to exchange it for Abe?"

"It's him!"

But the king didn't know the secret. Princess Anne gave it to him last night, and he hadn't had time to open it yet.

"No, Your Majesty, this telescope is just a little gadget I gave you. It is purely for you and has nothing to do with Knight Abe."

But Zhang Feng is now planning to give it to the king directly! There is no need to think about whether it is Abe or not.

The king also seemed very happy. He continued:

"have no idea."

Fortunately, Zhang Feng's mental quality is strong enough.

However, Zhang Feng misunderstood. Hearing the king's words, he immediately said, "Your Majesty, the little gadget I mentioned is the little steam car I drove into the city before. I'll give it to you as well! This little steam car has been designed very well. It won't break down or anything, let alone put your life in danger. I have personally experienced this, so Your Majesty can rest assured!"

However, the king's next words made Zhang Feng look pleasantly surprised, and instantly made him feel that the telescope and car were not given in vain! "Count Zhang Feng, Princess Anne is the favorite princess of the queen and me. I am very happy that you can save her life and bring her back safely. I am going to raise your title. What do you think?"

"I……"

"Ahem, since Earl Zhang Feng insists on doing this, it's hard for me to refuse..."

At that time, Zhang Feng didn't know Annie's identity. He thought she was a noble in the royal capital and Abe was a knight in her family.

"The queen seems to like you very much."

Fortunately, the king did not get angry.

The king actually didn't want to give Zhang Feng the territory, mainly because the north was too barren and the king was embarrassed to give it to him, unless Zhang Feng didn't want Hongye City anymore. But obviously, Zhang Feng didn't have this idea.

"Um, does your Majesty have a map?"

The king took down a parchment scroll from the wall, and when he opened it, he saw a map of the Kingdom of Buck.

This is much more detailed than what Zhang Feng had seen before.

Zhang Feng took out a pencil from his arms, and then found the location of his Red Leaf City at the edge of the map, then found the location of Yinsong City, and then drew a line outside Yinsong City.
