I drank the wine until I was tipsy and my eyes were drowsy.
But his mind was still clear. At this moment, when he heard that the third prince asked him to take orders under his command in the future, Xue Rengui was so drunk that he immediately woke up.
Xue Rengui remembered what Chen Changfeng had just said. If he still wanted to pursue Chen Changfeng after he returned from the Third Prince, Chen Changfeng would agree to it.
Xue Rengui was a little confused before, but now he suddenly understood after hearing the third prince's words.
It turned out that the third prince actually wanted to recruit him.
One was Chen Changfeng, who didn't take him very seriously, and the other was the third prince who wanted to recruit him. Xue Rengui was stunned for a moment.
Seeing Xue Rengui's suspicious expression, the third prince thought that he did not see his own benefits, so he smiled and said: "This is an imperial edict from my father. I can reward generals below the fifth rank at will."
"You only need to fill in your name, General Xue. General Xue will be my Ming Dynasty Sixth Grade Zhongxian Colonel in the future. He is better than a fire-headed soldier."
"And if General Xue makes military exploits in the future, I will report them to my father one by one for General Xue. It will not be difficult to make him a marquis."
"If General Xue likes beauties, I have five hundred maids in the capital. All of them are young and beautiful. If General Xue likes them, you can choose them as you like when you return."
"In addition, I can give General Xue one hundred thousand taels of silver, twenty houses, and five hundred acres of fertile land. I can give it to General Xue as long as he needs it."
"General Xue, think about it?"
Liu Shenyan said nothing, but secretly thought that the third prince had indeed spent a lot of money to recruit Xue Rengui.
However, what the third prince said, except that this imperial edict can immediately make Xue Rengui a sixth-grade military general, the rest are just promises.
Whether you can get it depends on Xue Rengui's life and whether the third prince is willing to give it to you later.
But if Xue Rengui agrees to the third prince's invitation today, Chen Changfeng will definitely be disgusted by the third prince's move.
Letting Xue Rengui deal with Chen Changfeng in the future would be even more disgusting for Chen Changfeng.
Moreover, if Xue Rengui is dealt with by Chen Changfeng soon, the third prince will not have to pay anything.
Generally speaking, the third prince's move is called the White Wolf with Empty Gloves.
Now it depends on whether Xue Rengui himself will be fooled or not.
The third prince was not impatient and sat on the table drinking slowly.
He believed that a person who had been oppressed for a long time would not think too much once he received such a promise.
Xue Rengui held the wine glass, his eyes full of surprise and admiration.
Each of the third prince's promises made Xue Rengui feel extremely moved.
Why does he join the army for his country? It's not just to get ahead, to get big houses, beautiful women, money and land.
Now, the third prince actually promised all these to himself.
And he, Xue Rengui, only needs to follow the third prince.
Xue Rengui gritted his teeth to prevent himself from appearing too excited.
"General Xue, even I am not qualified for such favorable conditions. Why are General Xue still hesitating?" Liu Shenyan urged with a smile.
When Xue Rengui heard this, he immediately looked at Liu Shenyan.
He knew that Liu Shenyan was the number one military formation master of the Ming Dynasty and the brother-in-law of the third prince.
But he wasn't even treated well, so why should he be a small fire-headed soldier?
Based on his performance on the battlefield today?
He just killed a Yan Chou. If the prince Chen Changfeng hadn't commanded him well, Xue Rengui might have died under Da Chu's military formation.
The greatest credit belongs to the prince Chen Changfeng.
But why would the Third Prince be willing to pay such a huge price to recruit him?
Prince?
Xue Rengui suddenly felt a chill behind him. He suddenly thought that he might be the pawn used by the third prince to deal with the prince.
"Third Highness, I was dragged to the battlefield by His Highness the Crown Prince, and my life was saved by the Crown Prince during the battle."
"Before coming here, I have sworn to His Highness the Crown Prince that I will only follow him in my life. Therefore, Your Highness, Third Highness, I cannot accept your invitation." Xue Rengui looked on with determination as he tried not to think about the benefits that the Third Prince had promised him.
The third prince was stunned.
He even thought he heard wrongly.
Xue Rengui's expression just now after hearing his promise, he almost didn't agree directly.
Why did he suddenly change his attitude and directly reject himself?
"General Xue, are you drunk?" The third prince looked at Xue Rengui with a look of anticipation on his face.
"Third Highness, I am not drunk, I am very sober. Unless His Highness the Crown Prince explicitly states not to follow me, I will definitely follow His Highness the Crown Prince."
"Thank you so much for the banquet today, Your Highness. I'll take my leave first." After Xue Rengui said that, he left quickly without waiting for the Third Prince to speak.
Xue Rengui was also afraid. He was afraid that he could not stand the temptation of the third prince and would really agree to follow him.
Xue Rengui, who walked out of the camp, saw Chen Qingzhi waiting for him from a distance.
"General Chen." Xue Rengui patted his cheek again and walked towards Chen Qingzhi.
"I almost couldn't hold it back, but I still want to follow His Highness the Crown Prince." Xue Rengui said with a smile.
Chen Qingzhi stared at Xue Rengui's eyes, as if he wanted to see something in his eyes.
Xue Rengui didn't know why, and was about to ask when he heard Chen Qingzhi say: "Your choice is correct. This is the note the prince left for me."
"I told you that if you come back, I will take a look at you."
"Note?" Xue Rengui looked at the note handed by Chen Qingzhi, took it and opened it, and saw what was written on it: If Xue Rengui chooses the third prince, kill him immediately. If he comes back, he will stay with you as a deputy general and command the black army.
Jiawei.
"This..." Xue Rengui's face changed drastically, and his eyes were full of fear.
"Your choice is correct. His Highness the Crown Prince will never show mercy to his enemies." Chen Qingzhi took back the note and patted Xue Rengui on the shoulder: "Follow me, let's go meet the brothers of the Black Armored Guards."
Xue Rengui was confused.
He did not expect that Chen Changfeng had already issued a kill order for him when he went to the banquet.
As long as he chooses the third prince, Chen Qingzhi will kill him immediately.
Can Chen Qingzhi kill himself?
Even if he can't, will the prince let him go?
Can I survive in the hands of that prince?
Not possible.
In today's military battle, he had already seen Chen Changfeng's ability.
Moreover, he had previously captured Zhang Baifang and others, and had the third prince execute Zhang Baifang himself.
What's one thing that Chen Changfeng didn't grasp with one hand?
At this moment, Xue Rengui not only did not feel that Chen Changfeng was cruel, he even felt lucky for his choice.
"General Chen, what is the rank of the Black Armored Deputy General?" Xue Rengui shouted after Chen Qingzhi.
"From the fifth grade..." Chen Qingzhi's voice came from afar.
…
Li Fengxian was very angry. The Emperor of Chu had already sent an order that he would settle accounts with Li Fengxian over the death of the Ninth Prince.
Prince Xiang Ying has received news that assassins have appeared in the capital of Dachu recently, seemingly intending to assassinate His Majesty the Emperor of Dachu.
Once the assassin is caught, the emperor will most likely lead the expedition himself.
By then, if Li Fengxian fails to perform any meritorious service at the border, the emperor will definitely punish him.
Li Fengxian felt a little powerless now. Xu Gongmao, who was known as the world's best military formation master, was actually broken by Chen Changfeng.
How else can he win the opponent now?
"Master General, I feel that our previous goals were somewhat wrong. Why should we fight against Chen Changfeng? The current head coach of the Ming Dynasty's frontier army is the third prince of the Ming Dynasty."
"We only need to give him a little sweetness, are we still afraid that he won't take the bait?" Xu Gongmao suddenly spoke, leaving Li Fengxian stunned.
