Chapter 220: The Prince is back, so we can't neglect it
Li Feng was rescued first without leaving even a trace.
Chen Changfeng was in a bad mood.
He originally thought that when he returned to the capital this time, he would be able to establish a firm foothold in the court, but he did not expect that the net behind the second prince would be so powerful.
And it is very likely that the person who rescued Li Fengxian was not the top force in the Luowen organization.
This person may not have received the order to attack him. Otherwise, would he have been able to escape unscathed when faced with the captured strong man?
"Your Highness, the general is incompetent and has found no trace of Li Fengxian." Xue Rengui looked ashamed.
Chen Changfeng kept himself by his side. He neither played a role in protecting Chen Changfeng nor could he keep an eye on Li Fengxian.
Now that Li Fengxian has been rescued, who knows what will happen in the future.
"No problem, send someone to inform Chen Qingzhi that the army will set off back to Beijing at noon and will not rest." Chen Changfeng waved his hand.
The strength of Luo Wang's men has exceeded Chen Changfeng's knowledge, and they are definitely not something that generals like Xue Rengui can deal with.
Chen Changfeng even wondered if the person caught in the trap was a legendary martial arts master.
A brave general is invincible in the army because there are tens of thousands of soldiers in the army, and even martial arts masters cannot withstand an attack.
As for the single combat power, these martial arts masters are the strongest.
The person who came from the net is such a martial arts master.
Xue Rengui took the order and quickly sent someone to notify Chen Qingzhi.
In fact, Xue Rengui was also worried about staying here any longer. Once the mysterious master appeared again to deal with Chen Changfeng, how would he be his opponent?
Only when he returned to the army, under the protection of tens of thousands of Ming soldiers, was Chen Changfeng absolutely safe.
The prefect of Jiangling only knew that Li Fengxian had been rescued. Chen Changfeng wanted to do it immediately, but the prefect of Jiangling did not dare to stop him.
Send Chen Changfeng off respectfully and leave Jiangling City.
And on the tower of Jiangling City, Li Fengxian and Cao Zhengchun, who had changed their clothes, were standing here.
Looking at Chen Changfeng going away, Li Fengxian dug his fingers into the cracks of the bricks.
"Tell me what you need me to do!" Li Fengxian turned around and looked at Cao Zhengchun in front of him.
Li Fengxian couldn't figure out why someone would come to rescue him.
They should always get something from themselves.
"Li Fengxian, our family was originally ordered by the second prince to kill you because the third prince said that you had evidence of his life and death." Cao Zhengchun looked at Li Fengxian with a smile.
Li Fengxian knew what the third prince's evidence was as soon as he heard it.
It's nothing more than the blood letter and himself as a witness.
The third prince was worried that he would help Chen Changfeng accuse him of conspiring with him to deal with Chen Changfeng, so he wanted to kill him.
Li Fengxian was not surprised.
The third prince almost died in his own hands, so it was normal for him to want to die.
However, Li Fengxian was very surprised. Since he was ordered by the second prince of the Ming Dynasty, why did he save himself instead of killing himself directly?
"We at Luowang want to go further, but we lack brave generals like you..." Cao Zhengchun said with a smile, meaning something.
Going further?
Li Fengxian stared at Cao Zhengchun, wondering if he had misunderstood.
The leader of Luowen wants to go one step further. Doesn't this mean he wants to be the emperor?
Does the leader of the snare want to stand on his own feet?
Isn't the leader of the snare a eunuch?
Li Fengxian didn't want to delve into this, because it basically had nothing to do with him.
He only wanted to seek revenge against Chen Changfeng, and even sought revenge against the Emperor of Chu for genocide.
"You can't stay in either Daming or Chu, so you can only go to the Tang Empire. The Tang Empire is stronger than the Ming Dynasty. This time the Chu Empire suffered a disastrous defeat. The Tang Empire will not even be weaker than the Chu Empire."
"With your strength, if you join the Tang Empire, you will be able to make great achievements in a short time. I, Luowang, will send people to secretly join forces with you."
"When the time comes, whether you want revenge or not, it's up to you."
"We just need you to help us set up a trap at a critical moment."
"How?" Cao Zhengchun looked at Li Fengxian with a smile.
Although he was smiling all over his face, as long as Li Fengxian dared to say no, he would immediately kill him.
Although Li Fengxian was the most brave general in the world, he could not withstand three moves in front of Cao Zhengchun.
"Do I have any choice?" Li Fengxian sneered.
Could he not know that if he didn't agree, he would be shot on the spot?
"Haha, it's easy to do business with smart people. It's a road trip and a hassle. When you go to the Tang Empire, someone will contact you." After Cao Zhengchun finished speaking, he floated down from the tower.
He fell down from the five-foot-high city wall and then floated away.
Li Fengxian looked shocked and squeezed the baggage in his hand.
…
"Your Majesty, the prince's army is only a hundred miles away from the capital. It will return to the capital at noon tomorrow." Going to the study, Liu Xi came to report to the emperor with a smile on his face.
When the emperor heard that Chen Changfeng was almost in the capital, his face immediately showed joy.
In the many years since he ascended the throne as emperor, this half month has been the happiest period for him.
The Ming Empire defeated the powerful Chu State as a weak country.
With the loss of 50,000 troops, the Chu Empire's famous Southern Conquest Army was destroyed.
The so-called Chu Conquest of the Southern Army was actually the Chu Empire's plan to deal with the Ming Empire.
This army was created by the Emperor of Da Chu twenty years ago. Its combat effectiveness can only be compared with that of the Pingbei Army of the Da Chu Empire.
The Pingbei Army was to deal with the Tang Empire.
The Chu Southern Army, an arm of the Chu Empire, was broken by Chen Changfeng.
This made the emperor extremely excited.
After receiving the news that day, the emperor spoke for a long time in front of a group of deceased emperors of the Ming Empire in the ancestral temple.
This shows how happy the emperor is.
"According to my decree, tomorrow morning, all officials of the fifth rank and above in the capital will leave the city for thirty miles to welcome the army back to the city."
"Those who don't come without any reason will be demoted and removed from their posts, and they will never be used again." The emperor made the decision immediately, without even thinking about it for a blink of an eye.
"Yes." Liu Xi quickly ran out to deliver the order.
The emperor has no time to review the memorial now. He can't wait to arrive early tomorrow to see Chen Changfeng, see Chen Changfeng with his own eyes, and hear with his own ears Chen Changfeng's talk about the war with Da Chu's Southern Army.
…
"Princess!"
"There is news from the palace that the prince will lead the army into the city at noon tomorrow. Your Majesty will ask all officials of fifth rank and above to go out thirty miles from the city to greet him." The maid Xiang'er rushed into Tang Xueer's palace with excitement on her face.
Tang Xueer was whispering to Li Ningshuang and was stunned when she heard Xiang'er's shout.
When the news of the border army's victory came to the capital, her heart, which had been tense, relaxed.
These days, she has been looking forward to the news of Chen Changfeng's return.
But in order not to be noticed, she could only find someone to talk to to pass the time. Fortunately, Master Xu's female apprentice Li Ningshuang was with her.
Now that she heard the news that Chen Changfeng would come back tomorrow, Tang Xueer could not hold back.
Walking a few steps quickly, he suddenly stopped, straightened up his appearance, pretended not to care, and came to Xiang'er: "Xiang'er, please ask everyone to tidy up. The prince will come back tomorrow, so we can't neglect it."
Already."
"When the time comes, follow me out of the city to meet him."
"Okay." Xiang'er ran out quickly again.
She was extremely happy when Chen Changfeng returned to Beijing.
