Chapter 147: Your Majesty, the third prince was beaten
Chen Changfeng was a little unsure about Huo Qubing's intentions for a while.
But it was not difficult for Chen Qingzhi to be caught in the middle, so he just walked over.
Arriving in front of the house, everyone kneeling on the ground stared at Chen Changfeng.
They knew that the man in front of them was the Ming Dynasty Prince.
I also know Chen Changfeng’s purpose of coming here.
Chen Changfeng walked into the temporary mourning hall, with incense curling up in front. Chen Changfeng lit three sticks of incense and inserted them on the incense burner in front.
Huo Qubing looked at Chen Changfeng's actions, and the expression on his face softened a lot.
"Five years ago, General Huang tried his best to protect me from the battlefield. His son died on the battlefield, and now he is gone."
"Old General Huang has always wanted to get an explanation, but after waiting for five years, there has been no movement in the court."
"No one even dares to talk about what happened back then." Huo Qubing's voice sounded slowly.
The people kneeling outside the door also had angry expressions on their faces.
They suffered betrayal and suffered a bad reputation, but there was nothing they could do about it.
No one said a word for these people.
"I heard what Prime Minister Yao said about you. Everyone thought you were dead, and no one would offend the powerful second prince for a defeated army." Chen Changfeng responded calmly.
Huo Qubing clenched his fists.
He knew that what Chen Changfeng said was true, but the hatred in his heart could not disappear at all.
Every time he thought of the 50,000 soldiers who died on the battlefield, and the 50,000 soldiers who abandoned everything and stayed here with him, Huo Qubing's heart was as sharp as a knife.
But there was nothing he could do to cure his illness.
Did he take the remaining 50,000 troops to the capital?
Just as Chen Changfeng said, what if he led these people to kill the second prince?
How many of these 50,000 people can survive?
And they will completely become traitors to the Ming Dynasty.
He became a traitor who was criticized verbally and written down in history books and was accused by thousands of people.
Fifty thousand people, no one will survive.
It's not worth it.
This is also the fundamental reason why there has been no movement in Huo Qubing in the past five years.
But now, General Huang passed away with full of regrets, which made Huo Qubing feel extremely uncomfortable.
If this continues, will you, and the people in front of you, also grow old and die here in the same muddleheaded way?
At this moment, Huo Qubing looked at Chen Changfeng, thinking about what Chen Changfeng said just now, but he was also a little worried.
What if Chen Changfeng deceived himself?
"Prince, I want to know if what you said before is true?" Huo Qubing looked at Chen Changfeng again, with anger mixed with expectation in his eyes.
Huo Qubing hoped that what Chen Changfeng said about helping him kill the second prince was true.
If no one helps, he will never be able to rectify the names of the 100,000 soldiers back then.
Chen Changfeng was stunned for a moment, then he understood what Huo Qubing meant.
Chen Changfeng was surprised. He did not expect that the death of an old man would actually make Huo Qubing, a guy who thought highly of himself, bow his head.
"Of course, if you don't believe it, I can promise you in front of Old General Huang that if I don't help you kill the second prince and restore the reputation of one hundred thousand soldiers, I, Chen Changfeng, will strike with lightning." Chen Changfeng said calmly.
Chen Changfeng didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said.
Anyway, he never planned to let the second and third princes go.
Those two guys frequently attacked me.
If there was no conclusive evidence to assassinate him before, Chen Changfeng would have killed them with a shotgun.
The emperor's attitude?
After killing both the second and third princes, does the emperor's attitude still matter?
By the fourth and fifth princes?
At worst, we'll kill them all together when the time comes!
If he is the only prince left, what else can the emperor do? Should he pass the throne to a minister?
But what Huo Qubing and others heard was Chen Changfeng's firm attitude towards them.
I must kill the second prince and restore the honor of the 100,000 soldiers.
This is Chen Changfeng's commitment to them.
Everyone kneeling on the ground looked excited.
They believed that if Chen Changfeng dared to swear in front of his soul, he could never lie to them.
Huo Qubing was a little stunned. At first, he suspected that Chen Changfeng was deceiving him.
But now...
Huo Qubing faced Chen Changfeng and bowed his hands deeply: "Huo Qubing, please pay homage to His Highness the Crown Prince."
"We will pay homage to His Highness the Crown Prince." The rest of the people also paid their respects one after another.
…
Chen Qingzhi and Tang Lin followed Chen Changfeng with their mouths open.
Huo Qubing had been resolute before, and they all thought that this trip would be in vain.
Unexpectedly, the sudden death of General Huang completely changed things.
Huo Qubing agreed to follow Chen Changfeng.
Their mission for this trip was completed.
However, Tang Lin was still a little worried: "Prince, are you really planning to kill the second prince?"
"He is the second prince."
Tang Lin felt that Chen Changfeng's promise was too unstable.
After killing the second prince, how would he explain to the emperor afterwards?
How would people all over the world view Chen Changfeng's behavior?
"What's wrong with the second prince? He doesn't want to let me go either." Chen Changfeng sneered.
Tang Lin opened his mouth but said nothing.
He had previously learned a lot about Chen Changfeng being targeted by the second and third princes from Tang Mingren.
That Binhu assassination was most likely carried out by two people.
It's just that there is no evidence.
Tang Lin was just worried that the third prince heard about Chen Changfeng's plan to kill the second prince before he fell into coma. If he told the emperor...
"Ouch——" The third prince suddenly woke up while lying on the cart.
He shouted with a look of pain on his face.
All the wooden boxes on the cart were left in Xinghua Village. A cart driver was pulling the cart, and the third prince was lying on the cart.
"Chen Changfeng, you dare to break my hand." The third prince felt that his right hand was in severe pain and he couldn't use any strength. It was obviously broken.
I looked up and saw Chen Changfeng riding on horseback.
"Third brother, I'm really sorry. In order to persuade General Huo, I have no choice but to follow his request. You have suffered. I will tell my father when I get back." Chen Changfeng looked at the third prince with a smile on his face.
I almost didn't laugh out loud.
"You bastard!" The third prince was so angry that he almost fell off the cart.
At this moment, he felt that he could not see clearly.
His speech is also a little strange.
I touched my face with my other hand and it swelled up like a pig's head.
"Third brother, don't be angry. For successfully persuading General Huo this time, third brother has done a great job. My father will definitely reward you well." Chen Changfeng said with a smile.
The third prince was stunned for a moment, then glared at Chen Changfeng: "Have you convinced Huo Qubing?"
"Of course, it's all thanks to Third Brother and his money, otherwise this matter would be really difficult to handle." Chen Changfeng nodded.
"parking!"
"Stop the car, I'm going to kill you!" The third prince was furious and wanted to get off the cart with one hand.
The third prince fell to the ground before the cart stopped.
Chen Changfeng ignored the third prince and drove his horse towards Binhu.
The third prince was lying on the ground, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
…
"Are you telling the truth?"
"Huo Qubing is willing to lead 50,000 soldiers on an expedition?" When the emperor heard the news reported by Liu Xi, he even couldn't believe it.
The emperor knew very well that he was very sorry for Huo Qubing and those 100,000 soldiers.
But at that time, he was so angry that he couldn't think of anything else.
Later, when the inside story was discovered, Huo Qubing had already died in the battle. Did he kill his own son for a man who died in the battle?
The emperor couldn't do it.
So this time Yao Xiaoren asked someone to persuade Huo Qubing to come back, but the emperor didn't have much hope at all.
But Liu Xi told him that Huo Qubing was willing to return.
This is great news.
"Your Majesty, there is one more thing. The third prince was beaten and is now kneeling outside to ask Your Majesty to make your decision." Liu Xi couldn't help but whisper when he saw the emperor was so excited.
