Xu Gongmao was imprisoned in Yongding City, in the house where he lived before.
It's just that Ming soldiers were guarding the place everywhere, so he couldn't get out.
Chen Changfeng led Chen Qingzhi and Xue Rengui over, and the soldiers in charge of guarding quickly led the way.
When they reached a room, the soldier opened the door, and Chen Changfeng and others walked in. They saw Xu Gongmao sitting in front of the table, meditating on the military formation diagram.
As if being alarmed by the sound, Xu Gongmao immediately raised his head, and when he saw it was Chen Changfeng, his expression immediately turned cold again.
Xu Gongmao made it very clear that if he killed him immediately, it would be absolutely impossible for him to help Chen Changfeng fight against the Chu Empire.
"If you want to ask me to surrender, then Prince, you'd better not open your mouth."
"It's better to just give me a knife to relieve my anger." Xu Gongmao's face was stern and his tone was cold.
"Made, old man, I will kill you!" Xue Rengui had been angry with Xu Gongmao countless times before. Now when he heard Xu Gongmao's arrogant words towards Chen Changfeng, he was furious.
They wanted to drag Xu Gongmao out and chop him down.
"Stop." Chen Changfeng called to Xue Rengui and walked to Xu Gongmao's side.
"Mr. Xu, I have always valued talents. Mr. Xu has reached the pinnacle of military skills. If you can serve under my command, I will definitely not treat Mr. Xu badly." Chen Changfeng said with a smile.
Xu Gongmao's expression did not change and he did not answer. He just pretended that he had not heard Chen Changfeng's words.
Xue Rengui frowned.
If it were Chen Changfeng that he was, if Xu Gongmao dared to ignore him like this, he would have been a big deal.
If Xu Gongmao's teeth are not knocked out, he will be strong.
Chen Qingzhi also showed displeasure. Chen Changfeng had never persuaded someone so softly before. This Xu Gongmao was really ungrateful.
"Xu Gongmao, if you want to die, we don't care, but think about your eighty-year-old mother." Chen Qingzhi scolded angrily.
Xu Gongmao's expression changed when he heard this, but then he quickly regained his composure and sneered: "My mother is living a good life in Dachu Capital. If you want to threaten me with her, I'm afraid you are wrong."
"Having a good life?" Chen Qingzhi looked stern and took out a letter from his arms: "Look what this is, His Highness the Crown Prince is giving you a good look. I, Chen Qingzhi, kill people without blinking an eye."
"If you agree to the prince's request, your mother will be safe and sound. If you don't agree, even if the prince disagrees, I will cook your mother alive."
"Chen Qingzhi, what nonsense are you talking about!" Chen Changfeng shouted immediately, with a look of displeasure on his face, and then looked at Xu Gongmao: "Mr. Xu, don't listen to this lunatic's nonsense. We were just worried that no one would take care of you in the capital of Da Chu, so we secretly picked him up.
In Dingnancheng, as long as our people take good care of you, your grandma will definitely be fine."
Xu Gongmao's heart, which he had not taken seriously at first, suddenly surged like a tsunami.
Chen Changfeng captured his mother and placed her in Dingnancheng behind!
This is not caring at all, it is clearly using my mother to threaten myself!
Xu Gongmao looked at Chen Changfeng and Chen Qingzhi singing and singing in front of him, his face full of anger.
They actually used their own mothers to threaten themselves!
"Prince, we spent so much energy taking care of his mother, and even sent people to ask the miracle doctor Li Shizhen to treat his mother, but it doesn't matter that he is still like this."
"I beg you to order me to kill his wife immediately..."
"If you dare to touch my mother, I'll kill you!" Xu Gongmao couldn't hold back and immediately jumped up and cursed Chen Qingzhi.
Chen Qingzhi looked angry and looked like he was about to take action.
Xue Rengui, who was standing by, was dumbfounded. He didn't know anything about these things.
But he doesn't care about this. As long as he can lead the army on the battlefield, everything else doesn't matter.
"Chen Qingzhi, if you talk nonsense again, I will kill you first." Chen Changfeng looked angry and turned to look at Xu Gongmao: "It was our mistake not to inform Mr.
Very.”
"If Mr. Xu doesn't believe it, I will send someone to invite your parents over."
"Maybe Mr. Xu can go and meet him in person."
Xu Gongmao frowned. He knew that Chen Changfeng and Chen Qingzhi were singing a double act in front of him.
But his mother is now in Dingnancheng. If he doesn't agree to Chen Changfeng's request...
Xu Gongmao opened the letter. The letter was written in his mother's tone and even had his nickname, Xu Gongmao.
Except for his mother, no one knows this nickname.
Xu Gongmao was sure that his mother was really taken to Dingnancheng by Chen Changfeng.
But he was still a little worried...
As if he had read through Xu Gongmao's thoughts, he heard Chen Changfeng say: "Xue Rengui, please prepare a carriage for Mr. Xu and send him to Dingnancheng to meet the old man."
"Prince..."
"Um?"
"Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince." Xue Rengui took the order and left.
Xu Gongmao looked deeply at Chen Changfeng, slightly cupped his hands with him, and walked straight outside.
"Prince, is this really useful?"
"This Xu Gongmao is a die-hard loyalist of the Chu Empire. How could he surrender to us?" Chen Qingzhi whispered.
He was even worried that Xu Gongmao would take this opportunity to escape back to Li Fengxian.
In that case, they are really trying to draw water from a bamboo basket.
"Xu Gongmao is a filial son. His family was poor when he was a child. In the winter, his mother was sick and wanted to eat fish. Xu Gongmao went to the frozen lake, cut through the ice, and waited for an hour before he got a carp." Chen Changfeng said slowly.
He said, with a hint of admiration in his tone.
Chen Qingzhi opened his mouth but said nothing more.
Xu Gongmao was extremely filial to his mother, but he was also extremely loyal to the Emperor of Chu.
Xu Gongmao came back the next day. Chen Qingzhi breathed a sigh of relief and quickly took him to find Chen Changfeng.
"The criminal Xu Gongmao has met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." I don't know what Xu Gongmao went through in Dingnancheng. Now that I saw Chen Changfeng again, Xu Gongmao's attitude toward Chen Changfeng seemed to have changed.
"Mr. Xu, get up quickly." Chen Changfeng put down his pen and paper and walked quickly to help Xu Gongmao up.
Xu Gongmao did not move, but deeply handed over his hands: "Yesterday, the guilty minister went to see my mother and found out that the Chu Empire actually sent people to hunt down my mother. Fortunately, His Highness the Crown Prince sent people to rescue me, otherwise my mother..."
"My mother warned me that the offending minister must apologize to His Highness the Crown Prince. If His Highness the Crown Prince does not think that the offending minister is incapable of intellect, the guilty minister is willing to work for His Highness the Crown Prince until his death."
"Whatever you say, sir, it's a great honor to have him help me."
"Xue Rengui, please hurry up and ask for food and wine. I want to have a drink with you sir." Chen Changfeng smiled and helped Xu Gongmao up, and then shouted outside.
Food and wine were served quickly, and Chen Changfeng was very sure about Xu Gongmao's return.
Otherwise, he would not have gone to see Xu Gongmao in person yesterday.
Xu Gongmao returned home, which made Chen Changfeng very happy.
Moreover, Chen Changfeng is not afraid of Xu Gongmao's betrayal. His wife and whole family are living in Dingnancheng.
"Sir, do you know that the Emperor of Da Chu has sent the Prince of Da Chu and the Eighth Prince to lead an army of 300,000 to attack our country in the Ming Dynasty?" Chen Changfeng poured a glass of wine for Xu Gongmao.
Xu Gongmao quickly stood up and held the wine glass, but he was shocked by the news about Chen Changfeng.
Da Chu sent another 300,000 troops to attack. How could the Ming border troops resist?
"Now the third prince of the Ming Dynasty is still in the hands of Li Fengxian. I want to get him back. Is there anything you can do, sir?" Chen Changfeng continued.
Xu Gongmao was stunned. Chen Changfeng wanted to bring back the third prince of the Ming Dynasty, but he didn't seem to say that he wanted the third prince alive. This...
