"Prime Minister Yao said that Huo Qubing is still alive."
"What!" Not only Tang Lin, but also Tang Mingren couldn't sit still at this moment.
He stood up from the stool and looked at Chen Changfeng in disbelief.
"Is what His Highness the Crown Prince said true?" Tang Mingren asked cautiously.
Tang Mingren's first thought was that Huo Qubing was still alive and the emperor wanted to kill Huo Qubing, so he asked Chen Changfeng to come here to inquire about Huo Qubing from Tang Lin.
But Tang Mingren can guarantee that since Huo Qubing's accident, Tang Lin has never had contact with Huo Qubing.
Everyone is dead, how can we contact him?
"Your Highness, Huo Qubing died five years ago, why..."
"He is not dead, he just lives in Vientiane City across the lake. The 50,000 soldiers who came back alive did not leave, but turned into common people and stayed with him." Chen Changfeng explained slowly.
After what Chen Changfeng said, Tang Mingren became even more convinced that the emperor wanted to kill Huo Qubing.
Huo Qubing not only faked his death, but fifty thousand soldiers followed him to live in seclusion.
Is this okay?
"Your Highness, Lin'er has absolutely no contact with Huo Qubing. He doesn't know anything about Huo Qubing."
"I can swear!" Tang Mingren pointed at the sky with four fingers.
Tang Lin on the side looked worried and excited.
Huo Qubing was still alive, which made him excited, but if Chen Changfeng killed him on the emperor's order, what should he do?
One is his brother-in-law, who has helped his family several times, and the other is his good friend...
"What oath?" Chen Changfeng didn't recover for a moment, and said again: "I want my uncle to come with me tomorrow to invite Huo Qubing to come out."
"ah?"
"Aren't you going to kill him?" Tang Lin cried out in shock.
Just now, he was still thinking about what he should say so as not to embarrass Chen Changfeng and save Huo Qubing's life.
Little did he know that Chen Changfeng was looking for him to invite Huo Qubing to come out.
After being surprised, Tang Lin shook his head again. Chen Changfeng wanted to invite Huo Qubing to come out, but it might not be that simple.
Tang Lin had heard about what happened back then, and Huo Qubing had restrained himself by not taking revenge on the Ming Dynasty.
I'm afraid it would be impossible to invite him out.
"Your Highness, I'm afraid this matter won't be that easy. If Huo Qubing is still alive, he will never forget what happened back then."
"Not to mention you, the prince, even if you are your majesty, I guess..." Tang Mingren shook his head.
How Huo Qubing was defeated that year.
Everyone knows why the 50,000 soldiers who died on the battlefield died.
But the emperor did not impose any punishment on the people behind the scenes.
It is basically impossible to invite Huo Qubing to come out.
"If His Highness wants to go, I can accompany you there tomorrow, but I'm not sure whether I can convince him." Tang Lin whispered.
He also wanted to see his old friend.
But he was not sure about Chen Changfeng's purpose.
…
The third prince came out of the study room yesterday and stayed awake that night.
As soon as it dawned, he saw the second prince coming.
The second prince also didn't sleep all night.
How can he sleep now?
Yao Xiaoren was so stubborn that he asked the prince to invite Huo Qubing to come out. Wasn't this asking his second prince to hit his death?
If he dared to appear in front of Huo Qubing, Huo Qubing would dare to kill him on the spot.
The second prince did not want to put his life in the hands of Huo Qubing, so he came to see the third prince.
"Third brother, the second brother wants to leave it to you to invite Huo Qubing." The second prince was not ambiguous when they met, and directly explained his intention to the third prince.
There was no expression on the third prince's face.
He suffered heavy losses yesterday and sent people to the Heijiawei to inquire about the news. He said that Yu Daqiu and Xiao Zhuge were all killed by the generals of the Heijiawei.
The soldiers of the Black Armored Guards also elected the new commander of the Black Armored Guards, Chen Qingzhi.
When the soldiers of the black armored guards mentioned the prince Chen Changfeng, they felt a burst of joy in their hearts.
The third prince couldn't figure out why all the generals of the Black Armored Guards had betrayed him in just one day.
Moreover, Chen Changfeng also subdued the soldiers of the Black Armor Guards.
The third prince now felt that he had no chance of winning.
He now even wants to give up the idea of competing with Chen Changfeng.
During these days of fighting with Chen Changfeng, he never won once, he kept losing, and he kept witnessing with his own eyes that Chen Changfeng's power was getting stronger and stronger.
Even the black-armored guards fell into Chen Changfeng's hands.
"Second brother, it's better to go alone. The black armored guard has completely fallen into the hands of the sixth man. I don't think I can fight him." The third prince looked disappointed.
The second prince's heart skipped a beat.
If the third prince surrendered to Chen Changfeng, how could he fight Chen Changfeng alone?
"Third brother, are you crazy?"
"You thought he would let you go if you didn't go. The black-armored guard fell into his hands, and you thought he would take over safely."
"Does he think it's just Yu Daqiu who wants to kill him?" the second prince quickly advised.
In the past, they could deal with Chen Changfeng individually, but now if they don't unite, no one will be Chen Changfeng's opponent.
"It's not Yu Daqiu who wants to kill Lao Liu, but you who want to kill Lao Liu. Do you think he will let go of those who want to kill him?"
"Moreover, Liu Zhuguo gave his life to help you deal with Lao Liu, do you think Lao Liu will forget it?" The second prince said two more words.
The expression on the third prince's face was extremely gloomy.
"If we were to separate now, no one would be able to deal with him, but think about it, this time he leads the army on the expedition, and he has to recapture the thirteen cities of Nanjun. If he cannot recapture it, will his head still be there?"
"Now, we only need to stop Lao Liu from inviting Huo Qubing..."
"Stop him from inviting Huo Qubing?" The third prince was stunned.
He originally thought that when the second prince found him, he would definitely invite Huo Qubing to come out.
After all, if Huo Qubing could not be invited, the Ming Dynasty would not have enough military power to deal with Chu's southern army.
If the front line is defeated, even if Chen Changfeng is dead, the Ming Dynasty will be in extremely danger.
"What I mean is that it would be best if you can invite Huo Qubing. If you cannot invite him, you will definitely not let Lao Liu succeed."
"Otherwise, once Huo Qubing and Lao Liu get together, we will just wait and catch him without mercy."
