Liu Shuwen stood on the high platform, waiting for Chen Changfeng's arrival.
In front of them, there were twenty-one people kneeling, headed by the quartermaster general Zhang Baifang.
If Xue Rengui hadn't obtained Zhang Baifang's handwritten letter of commitment and handed it to Chen Changfeng, they wouldn't have been able to catch these people so easily.
Although Chen Changfeng was fishing, people like Zhang Baifang really took the bait.
What Liu Shuwen didn't expect was that these people actually conspired with Li Fengxian of Dachu to kill Chen Changfeng in the Yixiantian Canyon.
Liu Shuwen couldn't understand that foreign enemies were still killing each other.
Looking at the twenty-one people who had fought side by side in front of him, Liu Shuwen shook his head secretly.
These people are seeking their own death. No wonder Chen Changfeng didn't give them a chance.
"Military advisor, why is the third prince here?" Chen Qingzhi stood next to Liu Shuwen and saw Chen Changfeng walking towards this side, but he also saw the appearance of the third prince.
Chen Qingzhi even thought he had seen it wrong.
Liu Shuwen looked up, and the moment he saw the third prince, the expression on his face darkened.
He had received news a few days ago that the third prince had arrived with 100,000 reinforcements.
It's just that he didn't tell Chen Changfeng the news because he was worried about another conflict between Chen Changfeng and the third prince.
In the face of a formidable enemy, the most important thing is to be united in dealing with the outside world.
Liu Shuwen wanted to execute Zhang Baifang and others as soon as possible, so he chose today, but he did not expect that the third prince would come so soon.
Moreover, Chen Changfeng also brought the third prince over.
Liu Shuwen didn't understand. Wasn't this openly embarrassing the third prince?
"Prince, third prince." Liu Shuwen saluted, with a worried look on his face.
The third prince has already arrived, and it is impossible for him, Liu Shuwen, to try to persuade Chen Changfeng or the third prince.
At the moment, he just hoped that Chen Changfeng and the third prince would not make the matter too big.
Chen Changfeng nodded slightly. The third prince did not look at Liu Shuwen during the whole process. All his attention was on Zhang Baifang and others who were kneeling on the ground.
Good fellow, the Third Prince knows all these people kneeling.
Moreover, each one of them had obeyed his orders before, and many of them were obedient to his orders.
How long had Chen Changfeng set out earlier than himself and captured all these people?
"Your Highness, help me!" Zhang Baifang couldn't believe his eyes when he saw the appearance of the third prince.
He didn't expect Chen Changfeng's methods to be so dirty.
He actually asked Xue Rengui to catch their fish, and then forced them to find all the other people involved in the matter.
Zhang Baifang thought that he must be dead.
But when he raised his head, he actually saw the third prince. At this moment, Zhang Baifang and others seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw.
"Your Highness, please help me. Your Majesty, you are looking down on human life."
"Your Highness, we were wronged. We did nothing."
"The prince excludes dissenters, his heart is to be punished."
In addition to Zhang Baifang, the other twenty people also saw the third prince, and they also shouted at this moment.
"Third prince, they conspired with Li Fengxian to frame the prince. The evidence is conclusive..."
"Liu Shuwen, even if their evidence is conclusive, as the commander-in-chief of the army, why are you not alert at all? If they are executed, you will not be able to escape the blame." The third prince interrupted Liu Shuwen coldly.
Liu Shuwen's expression changed slightly and he said no more.
He knew that the third prince was planning to drag himself into the water in order to save the lives of these people.
"Lao Liu, they were with me and made great contributions to the Ming Empire. Are you going to kill them all?" The third prince stared into Chen Changfeng's eyes with a cold gaze.
"Third brother, do you want to let them go? They are plotting to kill me..."
"Where's the evidence?" The third prince interrupted Chen Changfeng and stretched out a hand.
He pretended to ask Chen Changfeng to show him evidence.
Chen Changfeng smiled slightly and waved directly to Chen Qingzhi without looking at the third prince. Chen Qingzhi nodded and was about to order the soldiers to kill these people.
"Your Highness, help me!" Zhang Baifang and others were horrified.
The third prince's face turned cold: "Stop!"
"Lao Liu, have you thought clearly? Are you really ready to kill them?" The third prince looked at Chen Changfeng again.
Chen Changfeng did not speak, but looked at the third prince as if he were a fool.
The third prince saw Chen Changfeng's mockery of him in his eyes.
He was furious in his heart: "Liu Shenyan, pass the order."
deliver an imperial order?
Liu Shuwen's complexion changed slightly.
"Your Majesty has a decree to order the third prince Chen Wu to command the Ming Dynasty's border troops to defend against enemy invaders." Liu Shenyan unfolded the emperor's imperial edict and read it loudly.
Liu Shuwen's face immediately became ugly.
The emperor asked the third prince to command the Ming Dynasty's border army?
How could you have such an idea?
Doesn’t the emperor himself not know what the third prince is capable of?
Asking him to command the three armies, wouldn't it mean that the Ming border troops were sent to die?
Liu Shuwen didn't understand, but Zhang Baifang and others were overjoyed.
The emperor asked the third prince to command the three armies, which means that the third prince now has the final say here. If Chen Changfeng wants to kill them, does he have the ability?
"Zhang Baifang has met the third prince." Zhang Baifang was overjoyed, thinking that he had saved his life today.
Chen Changfeng failed to kill him, and he would never let Chen Changfeng go in the future.
The other twenty people also breathed a sigh of relief at this moment, with relaxed smiles on their faces.
Chen Qing's hand froze in mid-air, unable to wave it anymore.
"What about Sixth, do you still want to kill them?" The third prince said with a joking look on his face.
He came with an imperial edict, and the entire border army was under the command of his third prince.
Chen Changfeng also wants to kill Zhang Baifang and others, what a dream!
Chen Changfeng did not speak immediately, but he was a little disappointed with the emperor's arrangement.
The three princes commanded the entire army. Was the emperor afraid that the Ming border troops would not be defeated or something?
How could the emperor make such a foolish decision?
"Of course I want to kill them, and not only do I want to kill them, I also want you, Third Brother, to personally give the order to kill them." Chen Changfeng's voice sounded slowly.
Liu Shuwen was stunned.
How could Chen Changfeng say such a thing?
The third prince personally ordered the killing of Zhang Baifang and others?
The third prince and Zhang Baifang are in the same group, and the third prince made it clear today that he wants to protect Zhang Baifang and others.
How could he personally order the killing of Zhang Baifang?
This is simply impossible!
The third prince was also stunned for a moment, and then his face showed a strong sarcasm: "Sixth, are you okay with your brain? What stimulated you? How about the third brother find a military doctor to check your brain?"
"Zhang Baifang is my man. Now I am the commander-in-chief of the border army. I personally ordered them to be killed. Are you awake?"
The third prince's voice was very low, but everyone could see from his face what he said to Chen Changfeng.
The third prince felt that Chen Changfeng must be crazy.
Otherwise, at this time, Chen Changfeng would still be telling himself such nonsense?
"Prince, why don't we let them live first? This is the time when the army needs people..." Liu Shuwen wanted to smooth things over for Chen Changfeng.
Unexpectedly, he was interrupted by the third prince with a wave of his hand: "I really want to see how you, Sixth, allowed me to personally order the killing of Zhang Baifang and others."
Liu Shuwen's face was gloomy. He felt that the third prince was a little aggressive.
If Chen Changfeng and the third prince continue like this, there will be chaos in the army soon, which is a sign of a great defeat.
"Chen Qingzhi, bring Zhang Baifang's confession and show it to the third prince." Chen Changfeng smiled slightly and shouted towards Chen Qingzhi who was at a loss in front of him.
