What the second prince said is definitely not alarmist.
If Chen Changfeng really invited Huo Qubing back, it would be based on Huo Qubing's prestige in the Ming army.
Coupled with Liu Shuwen, it won't take long for Chen Changfeng to completely control the Ming army.
There are also Yao Xiaoren and Tang Mingren. The emperor is now eliminating redundant officials and generals while preparing for the imperial examination to recruit officials.
It won't be long before many new faces appear in the court.
Will new officials join Chen Changfeng?
They don't even have to think about this.
The third prince looked hesitant. He had killed Chen Changfeng several times. Even if he admitted defeat now, could he let him go?
Could it be that when he could no longer fight against him, he would directly kill himself?
"Third brother, if we join forces, we can still fight with him. And do you think that even if he invites Huo Qubing, he can take back the thirteen cities of Nanjun from Li Fengxian?"
"If he cannot take back the Thirteen Cities of Nanjun, that will be the day he dies."
"So we don't need to be afraid at all." The second prince was tempting again.
The third prince's vision gradually became clearer.
No matter what, he did not believe that Chen Changfeng could recapture the thirteen cities of Nanjun.
Li Fengxian, his third prince didn't even want to fight him face to face.
How could Chen Changfeng take back the thirteen cities of Nanjun from Li Fengxian?
"Second brother is right." The third prince was silent for a while before he nodded heavily.
Hearing what the third prince said, the second prince felt relieved.
The more this time comes, the more they must unite.
Otherwise Chen Changfeng will only become stronger and stronger.
"Third brother, you are just dizzy for a moment. When you invite Huo Qubing tomorrow, you must remember..."
…
Chen Changfeng was a little surprised by Chen Qingzhi's arrival.
Yesterday, before I could wait for the results of the election of the Black Guards soldiers to come out, I was called away by someone sent by the emperor.
But later Chen Changfeng also received news that Chen Qingzhi was elected as the new commander-in-chief of the Black Armor Guards by the Black Armor Guards soldiers with an absolute advantage.
"Sit." Chen Changfeng smiled and asked Chen Qingzhi to sit down.
Chen Qingzhi did not sit down, but bowed and stood in front of Chen Changfeng.
"What's wrong?" Chen Changfeng was a little surprised.
"The general is here today because he wants to thank His Highness the Crown Prince on behalf of the black-armored guards and himself."
"If His Royal Highness hadn't come in person yesterday, the Black Armor Guard would have been destroyed in the hands of Da Qiu and others."
"When the master asked the last general to stay in the Black Armored Guards, he hoped that the last general could shoulder the burden of the Black Armored Guards."
"But..." Chen Qingzhi smiled bitterly.
Chen Qingzhi can still remember what his master Huo Qubing told him back then.
Let yourself stay in Heijiawei. No matter what happens, you can't leave.
Chen Qingzhi devoted himself to the black armored guards, but he was always ostracized.
If he hadn't firmly remembered his master Huo Qubing's instructions, Chen Qingzhi would have left long ago.
And yesterday, Chen Changfeng's appearance allowed him to successfully become the commander-in-chief of the Black Armored Guards.
Now Chen Qingzhi believes that he can definitely fulfill his master's instructions.
"So this is what you are talking about." Chen Changfeng understood and said with a smile: "You were selected by the soldiers themselves. This is your own ability..."
"If the prince hadn't taken action, I would..." Chen Qingzhi sighed.
Chen Changfeng smiled, if he had not fallen in love with the black-armored guards and had not accepted the black-armored guards, Chen Qingzhi would have been eaten to death by Yu Daqiu for the rest of his life.
As long as the third prince doesn't open his mouth and Chen Qingzhi doesn't surrender, Chen Qingzhi will have to be a small general for the rest of his life.
"It's just a casual thing. I have another good news to tell you. Your master Huo Qubing is not dead. You and I will go see him tomorrow..."
…
Early the next morning.
As soon as Chen Changfeng got up, Xiang'er said outside that Tang Lin, the crown prince's brother, and a guy who called himself Chen Qingzhi were waiting for him outside.
Chen Changfeng felt that it was a bit early.
But obviously those two guys were more impatient than me.
I asked two people and found that neither of them had eaten breakfast.
Tang Lin also told Chen Changfeng that the ice cream matter had been settled, but someone had given those people money to frame it.
But those people didn't know the Third Prince, and it was obviously the Third Prince's men who did it.
Chen Changfeng doesn't care about this, as long as the matter is resolved.
After a simple breakfast, the three of them left the East Palace and walked to the entrance of the Imperial City. They saw dozens of wooden boxes placed on carts.
The third prince and the second prince were standing at the door.
These boxes are gifts they prepared for Huo Qubing.
When they saw Chen Changfeng, the faces of the second prince and the third prince were not very good-looking.
The two of them didn't speak, just stared at Chen Changfeng.
"Second brother, third brother, is all the money in this box?"
"This is too much." Chen Changfeng patted the wooden box on the trolley and said with a smile.
"It's just a wish." The third prince said coldly.
He has already seen Chen Qingzhi.
I have always wanted to recruit Chen Qingzhi, but I didn't expect that Chen Changfeng would be given the advantage now.
Chen Changfeng was even prepared to take Chen Qingzhi to persuade Huo Qubing.
Thinking about it this way, the third prince simply suffered a heavy loss.
"Tang Lin, are you going to see Huo Qubing? When Huo Qubing was defeated, my father, Long Yan, was furious. And let me tell you, my father did not say that he would forgive Huo Qubing."
"Think it over yourself." The second prince looked at Tang Lin with a gloomy expression.
The second prince knew that Tang Lin had a good relationship with Huo Qubing and even saved Huo Qubing's life.
If Tang Lin had gone there and Chen Qingzhi's persuasion, Chen Changfeng might have convinced Huo Qubing.
This is absolutely not okay.
Tang Lin didn't know whether it was true or not, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but feel worried.
He didn't care about himself, but there were still so many people in Tang Mansion.
If the emperor really has no intention of letting Huo Qubing go, then if he goes there now, wouldn't it be...
"Second brother, you should worry about yourself first. Do you dare to stand in front of Huo Qubing?"
"Don't tell me you're not going today." Chen Changfeng looked at the second prince with a joking look on his face.
The second prince looked slightly sluggish.
He would definitely not go, otherwise he would even be killed by Huo Qubing on the spot, not to mention convincing Huo Qubing.
"It's fine if I go alone. You don't need to trouble my second brother about this."
"Sixth brother, you don't really think that you can persuade Huo Qubing with these two guys." The third prince completely sided with the second prince.
At this moment, he even took the initiative to protect the second prince.
"Then why don't third brother make a bet with me? Whoever can persuade Huo Qubing to come out will slap the other person in public."
"Third brother, what do you think?" Chen Changfeng said with a smile.
The third prince looked ugly. Ever since Master Xu's incident, he had vowed that he would never make any bets with Chen Changfeng again.
What's more, it's such a humiliating bet.
"Slap, Sixth Brother, are you still a child?"
"It's better to set off quickly, lest the sixth brother thinks that he has won." The third prince said coldly.
He nodded with the second prince, got on the carriage, and walked towards the street.
Chen Changfeng smiled and patted Tang Lin on the shoulder: "Don't worry, what happened back then was all this guy's conspiracy. When Huo Qubing comes back, you will see how he deals with this guy."
"Set off."
Chen Changfeng shouted and got on the horse.
Tang Lin nodded, mounted his horse, and with a look of anticipation and worry on his face, he and Chen Qingzhi followed behind Chen Changfeng and ran towards Vientiane City across the lake.
