The Ming Dynasty border troops who were blocking the front retreated completely, barely clearing up any traces of their passing.
He followed the Ming frontier army for ten miles, but did not see any back-up from the Ming frontier army.
"Could it be that Chen Changfeng is dead?" Li Fengxian whispered. He felt that this was the only possibility that could explain the rapid withdrawal of the Ming Dynasty's border troops.
My heart couldn't help but be filled with joy.
Arriving at the third prince's camp, he kicked him awake and said, "Chen Changfeng has withdrawn his troops. I think he is dead."
"Chen Wu, who do you think can come to save you now?"
When the third prince heard that Chen Changfeng was dead, he didn't know whether he was happy or sad for a moment.
If Chen Changfeng dies, no one will be able to oppose him in the future.
But now he is trapped here, and Chen Changfeng is dead, who will save him?
The third prince said nothing, his eyes full of anxiety.
He even wanted to beg for mercy from Li Fengxian, but the dignity of the third prince of the Ming Dynasty prevented him from lowering his head.
Moreover, he begged for mercy with Li Feng first. If the news spreads in the future, he, the third prince, will definitely be doomed.
Li Fengxian led his troops and horses to prepare to withdraw to Yongding City.
But from a distance, I could see that on Yongding City, the flags of the Southern Chu Army of Chu were gone, replaced by the battle flags of the Ming Dynasty's border troops.
Li Fengxian's heart skipped a beat and he secretly thought it was not good.
The candidate looked panicked at this moment: "Master General, why did the flag of Yongding City change?"
Li Fengxian looked at the candidates with cold eyes, why did the flag of Yongding City change?
Do you even need to ask?
Yongding City must have been captured by the Ming Dynasty’s border troops!
"Chen Changfeng!" Li Fengxian rode his horse to the bottom of the city and looked at Chen Changfeng standing on the city tower.
How could Chen Changfeng still look as dying as he did yesterday?
Li Fengxian instantly realized that he had been tricked by Chen Changfeng.
Yesterday, it was blocked by Chen Changfeng and Yongding City was lost.
If there was no connection, Li Fengxian himself wouldn't believe it.
"Li Fengxian, you came back late. We captured Yongding City last night." Chen Changfeng put one hand on the city bricks and looked at Li Fengxian with a smile.
Li Fengxian's lungs were about to burst with anger.
I thought Chen Changfeng was going to die of illness, so he was so happy that he didn't sleep all night.
Only now did I realize that I was being played like a clown by Chen Changfeng.
Li Fengxian gritted his teeth and looked back at the candidate: "Bring Chen Wu here!"
The candidate immediately pressed the third prince of the Ming Dynasty over.
The third prince was also miserable. He was wearing a thin undercoat in the cold winter, and he shivered when the cold wind blew.
"Chen Changfeng, return Yongding City to this general immediately, or I will chop off his head." Li Fengxian placed Fang Tian's painted halberd on the head of the third prince.
The third prince felt the sharp edge on his neck. He didn't dare to move at all. He lay on the ground, motionless.
Many Ming generals on the tower of Yongcheng were anxious.
Li Fengxian is a cruel man. If he really kills the third prince, how will they explain to the emperor?
"His Royal Highness, the Third Prince..." A general spoke softly.
Chen Changfeng glanced at the general beside him, and then turned back expressionlessly: "Li Fengxian, if you have the guts, you will kill my third brother. Do you think I will frown?"
"Your Highness the Crown Prince..." The Ming generals around him were all dumbfounded.
If Chen Changfeng stimulates Li Fengxian like this, isn't that pushing the third prince to his death?
"The prince did this just to let Li Fengxian know that the prince doesn't care about the third prince. Only then can Li Fengxian be released." Chen Qingzhi quickly explained.
I secretly thought that Chen Changfeng's intention to kill the third prince was too obvious.
You have to disguise it anyway.
Fortunately, I am smart, otherwise...
Li Fengxian was so angry that his liver hurt.
When he captured the third prince of the Ming Dynasty, Chen Changfeng not only refused to save him, but instead told him to kill him quickly.
Is this what people say?
"Chen Wu, quickly ask Chen Changfeng for help and ask him to exchange Yongding City for you, otherwise I will kill you immediately." Li Fengxian knew that threatening Chen Changfeng was useless, so he immediately forced the third prince to ask for help.
The third prince wished that he could eat Chen Changfeng and Li Fengxian alive.
None of these two bitches are really good people.
But at this moment, the only choice is to save his own life first.
"Sixth brother, please save me quickly, this bastard Li Fengxian wants to kill me." The third prince shouted loudly.
Chen Changfeng's face was expressionless, but the generals around him looked worried.
The third prince is still a prince after all. If he really died in Li Fengxian's hands, the emperor would definitely hold them accountable for their failure to protect him.
When the time comes, he will be thrown into jail at the least, or buried with him at the worst, it is all a certainty.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..."
"Third brother, if you die, I will definitely report it to my father. Third brother, you sacrificed your life for the country and will be respected by all people."
"Every Qingming Festival, I will also burn paper money for my third brother."
"Third brother, you can go with peace of mind."
"Sister-in-law, I will take care of you." Chen Changfeng's voice echoed on the tower.
Not only the third prince was confused, but also Li Fengxian and the Ming generals beside Chen Changfeng on the tower were also confused.
What the hell are you talking about?
Do you burn paper money for the third prince every Qingming Festival to help him take care of his wife?
Isn’t this just straight to the point, your third prince should die immediately!
The third prince was lying on the ground, digging his hands into the mud. If he hadn't been held hostage by Li Fengxian now, he would have rushed up and chopped Chen Changfeng into pieces.
Li Fengxian had never seen someone who ignored the hostages so much, and said angrily: "Chen Changfeng, do you think I am a god and you dare not deal with him?"
After Li Fengxian finished speaking, he pulled out the sword from his waist. The sword light flashed, followed by a scream, and the third prince immediately covered his left ear.
Blood gushes out from between the fingers.
"Chen Changfeng, if you don't return Yongding City, it will be his head next time!" Li Fengxian looked ferocious.
The third prince was writhing on the ground in pain, with cold sweat pouring down his forehead.
All the generals on the city tower looked frightened and looked at Chen Changfeng.
"If you chop off his head, remember to return it to me. I will deliver it to my father when the time comes." Chen Changfeng left a few words, turned around and left.
His determined attitude stunned everyone.
"Chen Changfeng!" Li Fengxian shouted from outside the city.
"General, let's withdraw first and go to Yong'an City. The third prince of the Ming Dynasty will stay here first. We still have so many prisoners. It's impossible for Chen Changfeng not to replace them," the candidate said in a low voice.
Li Fengxian's eyes were full of anger. Yongding City was lost. If the Emperor of Chu knew about this, and the Ninth Prince had died before, Li Fengxian might not be able to escape.
But Chen Changfeng didn't care about the life or death of the third prince of the Ming Dynasty at all, and even wanted to kill the third prince of the Ming Dynasty with his own hands.
This left Li Fengxian with nothing to do against Chen Changfeng.
"Take him back." Li Fengxian had no choice but to retreat temporarily.
Being tricked by Chen Changfeng this time, the situation of the people in the city is unknown.
Especially Xu Gongmao, if he died in the hands of Chen Changfeng, Li Fengxian would be severely investigated by the Emperor of Chu.
Li Fengxian led the army to evacuate, and the Ming Dynasty border army generals on the city tower also rushed to Chen Changfeng's residence.
No matter what, we have to rescue the third prince first.
"Your Highness, although the third prince acted recklessly this time, he is the third prince of the Ming Dynasty after all. If something happens to him, we will all suffer."
"Yes, Your Highness, if something happens to the Prince, we generals will definitely be blamed. Please help us, Your Highness."
"Please, Your Highness the Crown Prince, save us." In Chen Changfeng's room, a group of Ming Dynasty border army generals begged.
