The third prince was lying in his room. Having been captured for more than a month, he was in deep fear even in his dreams.
The third prince woke up from his dream, sat in front of a basin of water, and gently touched his missing left ear with his hand.
He was the third prince of the Ming Empire, but one of his ears was cut off.
How could the third prince endure such humiliation?
What he hated even more was Chen Changfeng who deliberately delayed not saving him and even watched his ears being cut off by Li Fengxian.
"Come here!" the third prince kicked over the wooden basin and shouted angrily.
Liu Shenyan rushed in in a hurry. Looking at the tortured third prince in front of him, Liu Shenyan felt a pang of regret in his heart.
If the third prince had listened to his advice and not believed in Zhao Kuo, why would he have ended up where he is today?
"Your Highness." Liu Shenyan saluted respectfully.
No matter what, the third prince is his brother-in-law.
"Go and find all the generals of rank six and above in the army immediately. I want them to raise an army and kill that bastard Chen Changfeng together!" The third prince's face showed a ferocious expression.
Liu Shenyan said everyone was numb.
Is the third prince stupid now?
Raise an army and kill Chen Changfeng?
With his current appearance, who would dare to follow the third prince?
"Your Highness, please don't talk nonsense." Liu Shenyan quickly stepped forward to persuade him.
"When did this prince say such nonsense? If he, Chen Changfeng, hadn't refused to save me, I would have become like this?"
"He just deliberately wanted me to die in Li Fengxian's hands, but now that I'm back, I want to kill him."
"Go and find the generals quickly, I'm going to kill him!" the third prince roared, and the blood vessels on his neck were clearly visible from the excitement.
"Your Highness!" Liu Shenyan shouted loudly.
"Go find someone quickly, I'm going to kill him..."
"I'm going to kill him!"
The third prince never heard what Liu Shenyan said. Liu Shenyan was so angry that he immediately slapped the third prince hard on the face.
The third prince was slapped so hard that stars appeared in his eyes.
"Your Highness, the border army officers and soldiers have long been subdued by Chen Changfeng. Those generals are all excited that Chen Changfeng saved you, Your Highness."
"The return of the third prince means that His Majesty the Emperor will not pursue matters that are detrimental to their protection."
"Besides, Third Highness, you didn't listen to your advice before, which resulted in the disastrous defeat of our army. How can the generals of the border army listen to your orders, Third Highness?"
"The Third Prince wants to take revenge, so he should look for opportunities in the dark instead of shouting here." Liu Shenyan squatted in front of the Third Prince, his eyes dim.
Knowing that Chen Changfeng had already subdued all the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, the third prince slumped on the ground helplessly.
As early as when he was in Yong'an City Prison, he had guessed that this might be the result.
Chen Changfeng never leaves any hidden dangers for himself when doing things.
The reason why the third prince came back alive was not because Chen Changfeng wanted to let him go, but because he wanted to use this opportunity to conquer the soldiers of the Ming border army who had not yet returned.
What's more, when the third prince comes back, the most important thing he should do is to thank Chen Changfeng in person, and at least let the soldiers on the border know that his third prince is a man who knows how to repay his kindness.
The shouting here to kill Chen Changfeng was overheard. What would the border army officers think of the third prince?
Even if he kills his own benefactor, will he still care about those who follow him?
"Be careful, I'm suffering." The third prince seemed to have listened. Thinking of the abuse he had received in Yong'an City, he burst into tears uncontrollably.
…
"Prince, I just received news that the third prince was crying loudly in his room, as if he had been mistreated in prison." Xue Rengui came to report Chen Changfeng.
He was ordered to monitor the third prince, but unfortunately he did not hear the third prince's words about killing Chen Changfeng.
"You sent some of your confidants to spread the news in the city, saying that the third prince repaid his kindness with revenge. After he came back, he actually wanted to kill me, the savior, and even wanted to join forces with his original subordinates to do it together." Chen Changfeng thought for a moment and gave Xue Rengui an order.
Chen Changfeng would not give the third prince any chance.
Asking Xue Rengui to do this was to completely stop the idea of the third prince being in the army and doing his own thing in the dark.
The third prince was defeated and captured. He, Chen Changfeng, finally rescued him. Now the third prince actually wants to repay a favor with a grudge.
No one would dare to get close to the third prince unless they wanted to follow him to death.
As a result, the third prince could no longer stay in the border army.
The reinforcements from the Chu Empire will arrive at the front line in less than a month. What Chen Changfeng has to do at this time is to find a way to defeat Li Fengxian's Chu army marching south.
Waiting for reinforcements from the Chu Empire in full glory.
And things like the third prince must be ended with a final word.
"I'll do it right away." Xue Rengui nodded.
Looking at Xue Rengui's leaving figure, Chen Changfeng couldn't help but worry about Xu Gongmao.
Agreeing to Xu Gongmao's suggestion, in addition to bringing the third prince back and completely reassuring the frontier soldiers, Chen Changfeng also wanted to take this opportunity to see if Xu Gongmao truly surrendered to him.
Chen Changfeng did not dare to completely believe in Xu Gongmao, or in other words, Chen Changfeng did not dare to believe 100% in anyone except himself.
…
"Mr. Xu has been suffering recently. Then Chen Changfeng made me think that Mr. Xu died in that night attack, so I have been..." Li Fengxian sighed, pretending to be helpless.
Xu Gongmao nodded, and his eyes with a hint of sadness and anger fell on Li Fengxian's face: "Master General, Chen Changfeng has an ulterior motive. He exchanged me for the third prince of the Ming Dynasty, and also wanted me to break into the Southern Conquest Army and help him defeat the Great Chu Army.
Confederate Army.”
"Chen Changfeng even threatened my mother's life. How is my mother's condition now?"
"Your Majesty is still in the capital. Some people wanted to rob your Majesty a few days ago. Fortunately, the people sent by my general stopped them."
"Your Majesty is now being sent to the residence of this divine general. There are hundreds of guards guarding you day and night. Mr. Xu has nothing to worry about." Li Fengxian was slightly startled and then quickly explained.
When Xu Gongmao heard the news, his tense expression slowly relaxed.
"Master Shenjiang doesn't know, so Chen Changfeng doesn't know how he knew my birth name, so he used my mother's words to ask me to surrender to the Ming Dynasty."
"But I know that my mother will never let me be a traitor, so I agreed to him on the surface. He also thought that I really betrayed, so he exchanged me for the third prince of the Ming Dynasty, hoping that I would pass on my love for him.
Great Chu military situation." Xu Gongmao blew himself up again.
For a moment, Li Fengxian didn't even know what kind of expression he should have.
Li Fengxian was worried that Xu Gongmao was an undercover agent sent by Chen Changfeng, so Xu Gongmao immediately admitted his identity.
But Xu Gongmao pretended to surrender again.
This made Li Fengxian's idea of making innuendo useless.
Is Xu Gongmao really an undercover agent, or is he a fake undercover agent?
This made Li Fengxian unable to judge for a while.
"Master General, I was able to save my life today. Fortunately, I got help from Master General. However, the battlefield is too dangerous. I want to return to the capital to take care of my mother. This battlefield depends entirely on Master General." Xu Gongmao said suddenly,
Li Fengxian didn't even know what to do.
Xu Gongmao didn't want to stay with him, but wanted to go back to the capital of Chu.
Xu Gongmao's mother was not in the capital of Chu at all, because the killing of Xu Gongmao's mother was arranged by Li Fengxian.
But for some reason, something went wrong along the way and the person disappeared.
If Xu Gongmao was allowed to go back and discover the true situation, he would not be allowed to complain before the emperor?
Moreover, Xu Gongmao was eager to go back, which made Li Fengxian less suspicious of Xu Gongmao.
If Xu Gongmao was really being tricked by Chen Changfeng, why should he have stayed with him to find out the news? Why would he still want to go back to the capital?
There is no counselor beside me. If Xu Gongmao stays...
"Mr. Xu, there is no rush to return to the capital. The enemy is currently facing us. I would like to ask Mr. Xu to stay and make suggestions for me. How about that?" After thinking for a long time, Li Fengxian said slowly.
