above the galaxy

Chapter 580 He felt like vomiting! But he held it in!
Poseidon Fleet. Command ship.

To be honest, every time Tang Fei sees the blond, blue-eyed Prince Philip, he feels a sense of joy at the same destination.

Ugly people are eccentric, while handsome people are all the same.

Looking across the galaxy, only Bai Wuxin, Philip, and himself can be called the three most handsome men in the new stars.

Originally, they should have been the Four Great Beauties, corresponding to the ancient Chinese beauties 'Sinking Fish, Falling Goose, Closing Moon, and Shaming Flower'.
Unfortunately, Shen Xinglan was not up to the task and was accidentally disfigured, thus falling out of the ranks of the Four Greats.

Well, Tang Fei is considering adding Little Fatty to the team, since he's his own younger brother.

He became known as "Sinking Fish," after all, when he was battering the Black Dragon Pool, he had killed countless large black fish with his hammer.

I heard that during that period, Dean Shang's family ate fish every day, and they couldn't finish it all.
Philip is a scoundrel; he's clearly no good.

A disgrace among birds, harming its own kind.

He decided to call himself "Shy Flower," since he didn't like the word "closed" in the phrase "closed moon."

It always sounds like an insult.

Always keeping the lights off?
When Tang Fei landed on the deck with Bai Wuxin in a fighter jet, Prince Philip was already waiting to greet them with many officers of the Poseidon Fleet.

Philip, dressed in the black uniform of the Ottoman Navy, looked dashing and exuded a wild and ruthless evil aura.

Tang Fei jumped off the plane and strode toward Prince Philip.

The guards tried to step forward to stop them, but Prince Philip rebuked them.

Tang Fei hugged Prince Philip tightly and said happily, "Dear Philip, my old friend, we have finally met again."

Patton and Nicholas exchanged glances, thinking to themselves, "Tang Fei is indeed the prince's most popular friend."

They once secretly traveled to Redmoon City on behalf of Prince Philip to negotiate with the Tang bandits, and later reached a secret agreement.

This is also why Prince Philip was willing to lead the Poseidon Fleet to support the Tang bandits.

At the time, they had doubts about the relationship between the two, but now, seeing that intimate embrace, all their doubts have vanished.

This hug is a symbol of the warmest friendship.

Philip also felt the Tang bandits' enthusiasm; after all, he felt a sense of suffocation.

"Tang Tang," Philip patted Tang Fei on the back and said, "Let go, let go first."

"Philip, aren't you excited to see me? I've been looking forward to this for so long." Tang Fei released Philip and said with a disappointed expression, "You have no idea how happy I was when I received your message."

“My God, my friend from afar hasn’t forgotten me. He’s always kept me in his heart. I’m not fighting alone. I still have a friend like Philip.”

"Happy. Of course I'm happy." Prince Philip forced a smile.

He was starting to regret making the trip.

Tang Fei saw Barton and Nicholas standing behind Prince Philip and immediately went up to give them both a hug.

“My good friends, we meet again. Last time you came to visit me, I wasn’t able to give you a warm welcome. I’ve felt really guilty ever since.”

"We're now the closest of friends. When you visit next time, I'll definitely bring you the most delicious wine and the spiciest barbecue."

"Mr. Tang Fei, you're too kind."

The two of them looked extremely embarrassed.

He just called Prince Philip his closest friend, and now he's calling them his closest friends again.
They also became very close friends with Prince Philip.

This was an act of usurpation in the Ottoman Empire.

Putting them in the fire would make Prince Philip suspect that they had some dirty dealings with the Tang bandits, such as accepting bribes.

Although they did receive a very valuable gift.

What truly upset Prince Philip was that Tang Fei had publicly revealed Patton and Nicholas's secret visit, which would surely reach his father and elder brother's ears.

The Poseidon Fleet is under its own command, but not all of its members are its own people.

To say there are no palace spies here is to deceive oneself.

Now everyone knows that it was he who took the initiative, rather than the one who had planned out a 'sincere invitation'.

What will be the reaction from my father and older brother?
What thoughts might arise in the minds of the other fleet officers?
this person
I don't know if it was just being outspoken or if it was intentional.

Prince Philip is more inclined to believe the latter.

If he had previously thought of Tang Fei in the Phoenix Empire as merely an arrogant, rude, and clueless 'little guy' from the old lands, a sycophantic and domineering 'pretty boy' clinging to the princess's coattails, then this was a different story.

Now, in just a few short years, Tang Fei has become in his mind a ruthless hero who can decide the life and death of an army and the future of a country.

You have to carefully analyze and savor every word and phrase spoken by someone like that.

“Don, my good friend. It’s so hot, I’ve had some of the finest Camus champagne chilled.” Philippe gestured invitingly, “How about we go for a drink together?”

"Of course, it's my honor," Tang Fei said with a smile.

As the group arrived at the spacious and luxurious VIP reception hall, someone immediately came forward to offer towels for them to wash their hands.

After Tang Fei took the wet wipe and wiped himself, someone brought him a stemmed champagne glass with a misty, icy surface.

"Tang, you'll definitely like this taste." Prince Philip brought over his wine glass and gently clinked glasses with Tang Fei.

"I never refuse a gift from a friend." After clinking glasses with Prince Philip, Tang Fei downed his champagne in one gulp: "In our Phoenix Empire, there's an old saying: even free pesticide is sweet."

"Tang, what does this mean?"

"Oh, it's just that free stuff tastes especially delicious."

Philip laughed heartily and said, "Don, you haven't changed at all. You're still as humorous and witty as ever."

Of course, during their last meeting, Tang Fei's behavior was described by them as 'absurd and rude'.

“Philip, you haven’t changed at all; you’re still as sincere and noble as ever.”

"Oh, Tang, I'd like to toast you again. To our friendship."

"Of course," Tang Fei said with a smile.

The two clinked glasses again and drank the champagne in their glasses in one gulp.

The long and insincere pleasantries ended, but Tang Fei was reluctant to get to the point.

Prince Philip felt a surge of anger. "I just helped you fend off a powerful enemy, and you didn't even say thank you, or even mention the topic."
Are they trying to renege on their debt?
"Tang, this was a great victory." Prince Philip had no choice but to bring up the war they had just experienced, after all, they were one of the main protagonists in this war: "Not only did we crush the arrogance of the North Sea Fleet, but we also gained Carp Harbor, an extremely important strategic port."

"With Carp Harbor, you will truly be able to attack or defend as needed. Whether you launch an attack on the heart of the Empire, defend the port, or sail to the more mysterious and profound sea, you will have more options."

“Yes.” Tang Fei nodded, raised his champagne glass, and said, “Speaking of which, I also have to thank my old friend Philip. If you hadn’t led your army all the way here to help, you know our victory wouldn’t have come so easily.”

"."

What do you mean?
Victory won't come so easily?

Without us, where would your victory have come from?
Is this an attempt to deny our achievements?
These despicable Phoenix people, they really want to renege on their debt.

Seeing Philip's uncertain expression, Tang Fei naturally knew what he was thinking.

Feeling that the 'blow' had been enough, and even wanting to help with the work, he said in a warm and sincere tone:

“So, my heart is filled with gratitude. Philip, you will always be my best friend. And my victory will be your victory.” “Yes, it is our shared victory.” Philip’s words set the tone for the battle, so that the next step could begin: sit in a row and share the spoils.

"Come on, let's have another drink."

"cheers."

clang!
The elegant, slender glass made a crisp sound, which startled both of them.

Yes, the atmosphere has become more relaxed.

“Philip, I’m not a stingy man. We’ll have pulse guns for the enemy, and we’ll have Phoenix Tail wine for our friends.” Tang Fei looked at Philip and said, “You’ve done so much for us, and I remember it all. Tell me, what do you want?”

"Tang, you know. When my father and brother favored Shen Wuxiang more, I felt that you were the ultimate victor in this war."

"Philip has a truly discerning eye," Tang Fei praised with a smile.

Philip walked up to the electronic sand table, pointed to the virtual area, and drew a circle on it with one finger: "I want this part."

"A quarter of the Phoenix Empire's territory?"

"Tang, I can help you achieve victory."

“I have no doubt about you,” Tang Fei said, looking at Philip. “However, if I do that, I will be condemned as a ‘traitor’ by the people.”

"Tang, you should know that history is written by the victors. When that time comes, you can tell this story however you want. You can even shut everyone up and forbid anyone from talking about this history."

"But what will you gain? You will gain a vast empire, you will become a great emperor. If you do a good job, the people of the Phoenix Empire will even praise you as the 'Emperor of All Time'."

"."

Hmm, these lines sound familiar.

Did someone just say that to me?

Or did you tell someone else about it yourself?

Tang Fei couldn't help but exchange a glance with Bai Wuxin, who turned away expressionlessly.

A politician's mouth is a deceitful devil.

If it weren't for protecting Tang Fei's safety, he wouldn't want to listen any longer.

Tang Fei's eyes were bright, and the muscles in his cheeks twitched slightly.

He tried his best to restrain himself, but the curve of his lips betrayed his thoughts at that moment:

So delicious!

Prince Philip knew that Tang Fei was tempted. Who could remain calm after hearing the words "Emperor of the Ages"?

Moreover, he is currently only a contender with a slim chance of winning.

"Tang, compared to losing everything after defeat, it's just a small piece of land, and it's a desolate place near my Os Empire. What are you still hesitating about?"

Tang Fei was silent for a moment, then looked at Prince Philip and asked, "What will I get in return?"

"I will bet everything I have."

“That’s not enough,” Tang Fei said decisively. During the negotiation, he reverted to his calm yet greedy wolf persona: “If you’re only sending a fleet to help fight off foreign reinforcements, that’s not enough.”

“I will go back and persuade my father. I hope the entire Os Empire will stand firmly on your side.”

Tang Fei extended his hand to Prince Philip and said happily, "My dearest friend. It's a pleasure to cooperate with you."

"Pleasant to work with."

Philip was overjoyed; he knew they had reached an agreement.

Next, they will fully push forward the Tang bandits' path to conquest.

Once they've both fought to a standstill, they can seize the opportunity to rise up and gain even more.
The father was not wrong, nor was he wrong.

They simply chose different betting targets.

"have a drink?"

"have a drink."

Men are just so mundane and boring; they drink when they're happy, and they drink when they're sad.

The two frequently raised their glasses.

"Tang, after you unify the empire, you won't go to war with Os, will you?" Philip asked with a drunken laugh.

"How could that be?" Tang Fei was furious, like a rabbit whose tail had been stepped on, almost swearing to the heavens: "I said, Philip is my warmest friend, and the Os Empire will be my most steadfast ally."

These were the lines he had prepared, but Philip, the blond-haired, blue-eyed guy, asked them first.

Tang Fei was so heartbroken he could hardly breathe.

He pounded his chest repeatedly and said, "You must always keep your friends and allies in your heart."

“Tang, I believe you,” Philip said earnestly, holding Tang’s hand.

“Philip, your question is insulting me,” Tang Fei said angrily, shaking off Philip’s hand.

Tang Fei felt he had to get revenge, otherwise it would make him seem even less virtuous than Philip.

Even someone with his character is questioning himself; just how bad is his own character?

"Tang, I apologize. I was just joking with you. You know, you're also my closest friend."

“This joke is not funny at all. I would rather not have your help, but I will not allow you to ruin our relationship.”
-
"." Bai Wuxin.

He stood to the side, feeling nauseous.

But he held back.

As a professional assassin, his control over his body is truly extraordinary.

What's more, he also advanced to the rank of Junior Grandmaster.

On the way back in the fighter jet, Tang Fei's sleepy look vanished instantly. He looked at Bai Wuxin and said, "Philip wants the Poseidon Fleet and our North Sea Fleet to be stationed together in Carp Port, under joint management. I think that's a good thing."

"Shen Wuxiang suffered such a great loss, he will definitely try to take back Carp Port. With the help of the Sea God Fleet, we have a better chance of winning when facing their Northern Theater Command."

"If we hold Carp Harbor, our navy will have officially established itself. If we fail to hold it or suffer heavy losses with the Poseidon Fleet, then we will drag the entire Os Empire down with us."

"The Lion Clan wants to sit back and watch the tigers fight, forcing us to both be severely injured. How can we let them have their way?"

"Yes. I will arrange it." Bai Wuxin said in a deep voice.

"Let's just consider this a test for Chen Binghan." Tang Fei looked at the azure sea in the distance, feeling a surge of emotions.

I've heard that before the Great Cataclysm, the Old Lands also had such a blue sea.

The pretty girls were playing in the water and taking pictures at the beach, wearing bikinis of all colors and patterns.
Unfortunately, the seawater has now turned dark brown, and a strong fishy stench can be smelled from a great distance.

There will be no more girls wearing bikinis to go surfing.
