Chapter 193 This Zhao Kuo killed the sacrificial flag
"Your Highness, we seem to be lost. We can no longer find the way we came."
"Your Highness, what should we do now?"
"Then Li Fengxian ran here deliberately. We seem to have fallen into a trap."
The general's voice kept coming from behind, which made the third prince even more anxious.
They only focused on chasing Li Fengxian, but they didn't expect to be led into this maze.
There wasn't even any light, and I didn't know which direction to go next.
The third prince's eyes fell on Zhao Kuo: "Brother Zhao, how to break this maze?"
Zhao Kuo was a little panicked, but at this moment he could only pretend to be calm: "There are clouds in the art of war, so be fearless and move forward indomitably."
"We have a large number of people. Don't be afraid. We immediately separate into teams and we look for the exit one channel at a time."
"And Li Fengxian and the others are definitely still in this maze, and they won't be able to leave easily."
Zhao Kuo's words indeed made many people secretly relieved.
Soon there were generals leading people to search for each passage.
But what frightened them was that no matter where they entered, they would end up back here.
"Why are you back here again?"
"Is this a case of hitting a wall with a ghost?"
"Two hours have passed. If we can't find an exit, we will all starve to death here."
Some among the soldiers are gradually collapsing.
Being claustrophobic for a long time and unable to find a way out, many people began to worry.
The third prince's face tightened, and at this moment he no longer had the same passion as when he was chasing Li Fengxian.
He even guessed that Li Fengxian had laid a trap here early in the morning to lure them here deliberately.
I want to trap them to death in this place.
The third prince glanced at Zhao Kuo. In the darkness, Zhao Kuo felt as if he was being targeted by a poisonous snake, but this feeling quickly disappeared.
"Since there is no way back, let's keep going forward. I don't believe that tens of thousands of us will be trapped and die in this miserable place." The third prince gritted his teeth and made a decision.
He didn't know where this place was.
But if you stay here all the time, you will die trapped here sooner or later.
Everyone remained silent, but carefully followed behind the third prince, while a group of soldiers opened the way in front.
Walking through a long alley, suddenly there were several candlelights flickering in front of me.
"Your Highness, there are candles in front of you." The leading general was overjoyed and was about to invite the third prince to come and have a look.
Suddenly, from where the candlelight flickered, the sound of arrows piercing the air was heard.
The leading general fell to the ground. The third prince looked forward and saw that half of the general's back was covered with arrows.
The third prince did not dare to move forward, and there was no news from the soldiers in front.
Hundreds of people died silently in the cave.
The third prince's face turned pale.
They didn't even know what was going on ahead, and hundreds of people were gone.
Looking back at the frontier soldiers behind me, most of them were already gone.
Apparently, just as we were on the road, people began to escape.
"Your Highness, do you still want to go forward?" Zhao Kuo no longer dared to stick to his decision.
The third prince's eyes were slightly cold, and he suddenly looked at Zhao Kuo: "Brother Zhao, I recognize your ability. You can definitely lead us out."
"Now you will lead a hundred people to open the way in front. Brother Zhao, are you okay?"
Zhao Kuo's expression changed drastically.
He wanted to refuse, but saw that the third prince's sword was already in his hand.
He knew in his heart that if he dared to say no, the third prince would definitely kill him with a sword.
Zhao Kuo was angry in his heart and secretly said that when he led his troops to a great victory, the third prince tried to please him in every possible way, but now that he was in danger, he pushed himself out as a shield.
When you leave here, immediately switch to Li Fengxian and help him deal with this damn third prince.
Zhao Kuo had no other choice but to lead his people forward, but fortunately, except for the corpses on the ground, they did not encounter any danger.
This made Zhao Kuo and others breathe a sigh of relief.
After passing through the corridor lit by candlelight, they unexpectedly appeared in an empty cave.
"What the hell is this place?" A border army general asked in horror.
"This is the Bagua formation set up by Xu Gongmao, the master of Chu Empire's military formation. Chen Wu, I have been plotting for so long, and you finally took the bait." Li Fengxian's voice suddenly sounded.
When the Third Prince and the others came to their senses, they saw that the formation was full of people standing everywhere.
Li Fengxian stood in the center, surrounded by Dachu archers aiming at them.
The third prince looked frightened, he knew that he was doomed.
"Lord General Shen, I knew from the beginning that the Third Prince of the Ming Dynasty was a loser, so on the surface I agreed to his invitation, but in fact I was helping Lord General Shen to confuse him, in the hope that Lord General Shen's plan would succeed."
"Now that God General's plan has been accomplished, Zhao Kuo can return to God General and obey his orders." Zhao Kuo walked towards Li Fengxian with a flattering face.
The third prince behind him and the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty's border army did not react.
"Zhao Kuo, you have defeated our army twice in a row. Do you really think we are no match for you?" Li Fengxian sneered and looked at Zhao Kuo jokingly.
"Don't dare, don't dare, it's just to make this fool, the third prince of the Ming Dynasty, believe it!" Zhao Kuo accompanied him with a smile.
"Hmph, I don't know how to live or die. If I hadn't tried to lure you into taking the bait, how could even you, Zhao Kuo, defeat our elite Chu army?"
"Chen Wu, Chen Changfeng and I acted together in a play just to make you think that Zhao Kuo is a rare talent."
"I didn't expect you to be fooled so easily."
"Come here, arrest them all. This Zhao Kuo, kill Ji Qi!" Li Fengxian gave the order.
The soldiers of the Ming border army who had fled in all directions were quickly captured, and the third prince was also tied up with a rope, and all his armor and weapons were stripped off.
Zhao Kuo's head was picked up by the candidate, and his body was casually thrown aside.
The third prince looked a little dazed. He was caught by Li Fengxian and he was dead!
…
When Chen Changfeng learned that the third prince was leading an army to pursue Li Fengxian, he knew that something big would happen if they went there.
Sure enough, some of the Ming soldiers who had not followed the pursuit into Shiku Ridge came back and said that the Third Prince had led more than 20,000 troops and pursued Shiku Ridge.
His current whereabouts are unknown.
Chen Changfeng didn't care whether the third prince died or not. What he cared about was that he would take the opportunity to gain absolute command of the border army.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, please save His Highness the Third Prince." Liu Shenyan's voice came from outside the tent.
"His Royal Highness, if something happens to the Third Highness, we will be finished. Your Highness, please save the Third Highness."
"Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
Liu Shenyan was obviously not the only one outside the camp.
All the generals who did not go to war are here now.
Now that the whereabouts of the third prince are unknown, they can only come to Chen Changfeng for help.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince...you..." Xue Rengui walked into the camp and was about to talk to Chen Changfeng about the situation outside. Suddenly he saw that Chen Changfeng's face was pale and his lips were bloodless.
He immediately froze on the spot.
When he brought the food just now, Chen Changfeng had eaten two large bowls. Why did he look like this after a while?
poisoned?
"Let them come in and talk." Chen Changfeng said angrily, and then looked weak again.
Xue Rengui opened his mouth and realized that Chen Changfeng was just pretending.
But Xue Rengui didn't understand why Chen Changfeng pretended to be sick in front of all the soldiers.
"The general will pay homage to His Highness the Crown Prince." The generals filed in, bowed and stood at the door and saluted Chen Changfeng.
