Xu Gongmao was not sure what Chen Changfeng was thinking for a while.
But it is obviously not that easy to get the third prince of the Ming Dynasty back.
If Chen Changfeng wants to facilitate this matter, he must give Li Fengxian enough benefits.
It is absolutely impossible to get back the third prince of the Ming Dynasty with empty words and white teeth.
"If His Highness the Crown Prince trusts his subordinates, they may have an idea." After a long silence, Xu Gongmao suddenly spoke.
…
Li Fengxian received another invitation to negotiate from Chen Changfeng.
This made Li Fengxian feel very irritable.
In the previous negotiations, Chen Changfeng deliberately concealed the news that Xu Gongmao was still alive, which led to him, Li Fengxian, not taking Xu Gongmao back.
Now that Chen Changfeng invited negotiations again, Li Fengxian was quite impatient.
But the invitation letter stated that Chen Changfeng was prepared to exchange Xu Gongmao for the third prince of the Ming Dynasty, which made Li Fengxian unavoidably a little tempted.
Xu Gongmao is the best military formation master in the world. If he stays in Chen Changfeng's hands, it will be a huge loss to the Chu Empire.
If this matter was known to the Emperor of Chu, Li Fengxian would definitely be involved.
Besides, keeping the third prince of the Ming Dynasty in his own hands would have no effect on Li Fengxian except threatening some soldiers of the Ming Dynasty's border army.
Chen Changfeng wished he could kill the third prince of Ming Dynasty himself.
"How is the third prince of the Ming Dynasty doing now?" Li Fengxian looked at the candidates aside.
For a month, Li Fengxian didn't pay attention to the third prince's situation. He always sent someone to look after him.
"Reporting to Lord General Shen, the third prince of the Ming Dynasty has been crazy recently. Yesterday, my subordinates went to take a look and saw that he was not even sober." The candidate said quickly.
Li Fengxian didn't know whether it was true or false, so he immediately asked to see it with his own eyes.
Chen Changfeng wanted to exchange for the third prince of the Ming Dynasty. Even if he could not kill the third prince of the Ming Dynasty, he could not let him return to the Ming Dynasty intact.
When we arrived at the prison, it was dark and damp, with a pungent musty smell. The third prince of the Ming Dynasty was locked in a cell, squatting in a dark place, unable to see anything.
"Chen Wu, Chen Changfeng sent someone to negotiate terms with this general and said that he would redeem you." Li Fengxian said.
The third prince didn't move at all, sitting blankly in the corner.
"Master General, this guy was beaten by a group of big men last time..." The warden hesitated, and then continued: "The past two days have been a lot of chattering, and he banged his head against the wall from time to time. The villain was about to report to General Hou.
."
Li Feng glanced at the warden first, and then his eyes fell on the third prince of the Ming Dynasty in front of him.
The prison is not a kind place. The third prince was injured, and there were so many prisoners, so it was normal for him to be raped from afar.
Li Fengxian was secretly happy in his heart. The more the third prince suffered here, the more he would hate Chen Changfeng to the core when he returned.
As long as the third prince of Ming Dynasty deals with Chen Changfeng, this is what Li Fengxian wants to see.
"Bring the person out." Li Feng waved first and then walked out of the prison.
The third prince was dragged out of the prison. This was the first time he saw the scene outside this month.
When he came outside again, the third prince even showed a trace of confusion on his face.
"Chen Wu, I know that you hate me to the core, but I believe that the one you should hate the most is your sixth brother Chen Changfeng."
"If he had exchanged you back immediately, why would you have been so humiliated?"
"Chen Changfeng wanted to conquer me, the Great Chu Weapon Formation Master, and also wanted you to die in my hands. Unfortunately, he made miscalculations in both cases."
"I will be soft-hearted and will exchange you back tomorrow. If you are willing, you can help us deal with Chen Changfeng. I will promise you that if the Ming Empire overthrows, I, the Emperor of Chu, will recommend you as the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty." Li Fengxian's message
The voice sounded slowly.
The hatred in the third prince's heart slowly spread.
If it weren't for Chen Changfeng, how could he have fallen to this point?
He was the dignified third prince of the Ming Dynasty. He was supposed to have a bright future, but his ears were cut off and he was humiliated in prison.
Looking at the third prince who was silent but whose eyes became increasingly sinister, a smile gradually appeared on Li Fengxian's face.
Chen Changfeng wanted to use his own hands to kill the third prince of the Ming Dynasty. Why couldn't he use his own hands to kill Chen Changfeng?
The negotiations on the second day were simple.
Chen Changfeng led several people and kidnapped Xu Gongmao and came outside Yongding City.
Li Fengxian led the staggering third prince of the Ming Dynasty to appear in front.
Seeing the tragic situation of the third prince of the Ming Dynasty, all the generals of the Ming Dynasty were shocked. Fortunately, the third prince was still alive, and the emperor would not hold them responsible for their failure to protect him.
"Chen Changfeng, if I had known this, why would I have to look at how much suffering the third prince of the Ming Dynasty suffered because of your inaction?" Li Fengxian sarcastically said, but in fact he wanted to completely arouse the third prince's hatred for Chen Changfeng.
Sure enough, the third prince looked up at Chen Changfeng, his eyes full of coldness.
Chen Changfeng's face showed sadness, he took off his robe and put it on the ragged third prince: "Li Fengxian, you have done this to my third brother, I will definitely behead you in the future."
The third prince pushed Chen Changfeng away fiercely and stared at Chen Changfeng with a ferocious face: "Chen Changfeng, please stop acting coquettishly in front of me. I will not let you go, I definitely won't!"
After that, he limped and ran towards Yongding City.
"Third brother!" Chen Changfeng looked puzzled.
All the generals in the Ming Dynasty's border army looked at the back of the third prince with dissatisfaction, and secretly said that the prince tried his best to rescue the third prince, but unexpectedly, the third prince turned out to be so ruthless and did not care about the prince's life-saving grace.
"Why is the third prince so ruthless? In order to save him, His Highness the Crown Prince released Xu Gongmao, who had finally been captured. How come he still has no regard for kindness?"
"The third prince has always been arrogant. He was obviously defeated and captured, but he seems to be someone else's responsibility."
"Isn't that right? Zhao Kuofu has no ability, but the third prince is a treasure. Now that the third prince is back, we can't listen to his orders anymore, otherwise we will be the ones who die next time."
"That's right. Compared with His Highness the Crown Prince, the Third Prince really lives up to the old saying that he is not as capable as he is bad-tempered."
Behind him came the discussion of the frontier soldiers. Chen Changfeng looked sad and waved to Chen Qingzhi.
Chen Qingzhi pushed hard and Xu Gongmao fell to the ground. Li Fengxian immediately stepped forward to help him up.
Chen Changfeng led his troops back, and Li Fengxian also took Xu Gongmao back to Yongding City.
In Yongding City, Li Fengxian had just sat down, and the candidate immediately walked into the room: "Master General, Mr. Xu has been in Chen Changfeng's hands for so long, and now he is suddenly released."
"My subordinates are wondering if they want to test Mr. Xu to see if he has betrayed me, Da Chu?"
Hearing what the candidate said, Li Fengxian immediately woke up.
He instigated the third prince of the Ming Dynasty to deal with Chen Changfeng, so Chen Changfeng must have not instigated Xu Gongmao's rebellion?
Although I believe in Xu Gongmao's loyalty, what if something happens?
Moreover, when Xu Gongmao came back, except for his poor mental state, he had no injuries at all.
This is hard not to doubt.
But Xu Gongmao had a special status. If he tortured him, he wouldn't be able to walk away without any discovery.
"Go and invite Mr. Xu to this general. I want to ask him something." Li Feng thought for a moment and seemed to have an idea.
"Yes, Lord General." The candidate accepted the order and left.
Soon, Xu Gongmao was brought to Li Fengxian as a candidate.
"I would like to thank you, Lord General, for saving your life." As soon as Xu Gongmao saw Li Fengxian, he immediately bowed with both hands.
