The second prince was lying in the courtyard of the mansion, listening to the singer playing the piano, surrounded by two voluptuous beauties.
Everywhere you can reach, there are fresh fruits, and the beauty next to you feeds them to the second prince in small pieces.
A very enjoyable scene.
However, this comfort was soon interrupted by a eunuch who walked hastily.
"Your Highness, Mr. Zhao, please come over." The eunuch looked anxious.
The second prince frowned, looking unhappy.
After fighting with Chen Changfeng for so long, you finally see the hope of letting Chen Changfeng die. Can't you just enjoy it?
"Let's play music and then dance." The second prince waved his hand and said to the singer.
The sound of playing the piano sounded again, and the eunuch next to him turned pale.
"Your Highness, Mr. Zhao said that the Black Armor Guard may be missing half of its soldiers." The eunuch said again.
The second prince did not react for a moment: "What does the black-armored guard have to do with me? There are few of them. Go to the Ministry of War and ask..."
"Your Highness, they may have gone to Yizhou!"
"What!" When the second prince heard the word Yizhou, he immediately jumped up from his chair.
The beauty next to me was startled.
"Get out, get out of here." The second prince scolded everyone around him.
Soon only the second prince and the eunuch who came to deliver the message were left in the courtyard.
"The black-armored guard went to Yizhou, wasn't Chen Qingzhi always there?" The second prince still didn't believe it.
Chen Qingzhi would appear in court every day. He was in the capital, and there was no movement at the Heijiawei camp. How could there be any Heijiawei who went to Yizhou?
Yizhou, he was going to let Yizhou's men kill Chen Changfeng there.
If Chen Changfeng goes there alone, he will definitely die without a burial place, but if he brings the black-armored guards, Yizhou may be turned upside down by Chen Changfeng.
That is his fiefdom. If Chen Changfeng messes with it, his strength will be greatly damaged and his face will be lost.
"Chen Qingzhi is here, but the news we got is that a few days before the prince left the capital, Xue Rengui went to Zhezi and said he was going home to visit relatives, so he left with two hundred black armored guards."
"This is nothing at first, but our spies guarding the Black-armored Guards camp found that the Black-armored Guards' drills didn't seem to be as loud as before."
"I took the risk and sneaked into the camp, and found that the number of black-armored guards was about 30% less."
"The spies were discovered and kept running away. No news came until today." The eunuch whispered.
"Bastard!" The second prince's expression changed drastically.
Such important news did not come until today.
It is probably not that the Heijiawei did not continue the pursuit, but that they knew that the Heijiawei had already arrived in Yizhou. Even if they knew it, it would be meaningless.
Thinking of the black-armored guards going to Yizhou, the second prince felt uneasy.
He didn't even bother to put on his shoes and went straight to the tunnel in the backyard.
…
"Mr. Zhao, why did you not know this news until now?"
"How can Yizhou's city defense army be the opponent of the black armored guards?"
"Yizhou is my fiefdom, and Chen Changfeng will definitely kill all those who are loyal to me."
"I promised in my letter that I would prevent Chen Changfeng from bringing any troops there. What now?"
The first time he saw Zhao Gao, the second prince questioned him repeatedly.
If something happened to Yizhou, the blow to his second prince would be fatal.
Yizhou officials loyal to him will definitely be completely eliminated by Chen Changfeng.
All his years of hard work in Yizhou were in vain.
Zhao Gao's face was gloomy, his fingers pressed on the table in front of him, and a clear crack spread from his fingers.
"Crack-" In front of the second prince, the solid table instantly split into two halves from the middle.
Zhao Gao waved his right palm, and half of the table that had not yet reached the ground shot out, and the originally closed window was instantly smashed into pieces.
Faint light shone into the house from the outside, dotting Zhao Gao's gloomy face.
"Second Prince, are you blaming me?" Zhao Gao's voice was gentle, but in the ears of the Second Prince, it was so cold that it made people tremble.
"That's not what I meant. I was worried that the loss would be too great and Chen Changfeng would rise completely." The second prince quickly denied.
Luo Wen was his last help. If Luo Wen didn't help him, he would soon die in Chen Changfeng's hands.
Chen Changfeng went to Yizhou and brought the black armored guards with him, obviously not just to save Liu Miaomiao.
Chen Changfeng must have realized that this was a trap and secretly led the black armored guards there to uproot his second prince's influence in Yizhou.
"Your Highness, this loss is unavoidable, but you don't have to worry. The black-armored guards left the capital privately without any orders. This is enough to make Chen Qingzhi drink a pot."
"The Second Highness will inform His Majesty of this matter, and Your Majesty will naturally deal with Chen Qingzhi."
"Exchanging Yizhou for Chen Qingzhi is a loss, but at least it can cut off one of Chen Changfeng's wings." Zhao Gao said slowly.
Hearing this, the second prince's face suddenly showed joy.
He was still too panicked. When he heard that Chen Changfeng had brought people to Yizhou, he was completely panicked.
The black-armored guards must have left the capital without the emperor's order.
As the commander-in-chief of the Black Armored Guards, Chen Qingzhi ignored this and could not escape the blame.
"What Mr. Zhao is talking about is that there is also Xue Rengui. The previous chapter said he went to Longmen to visit relatives, but he went to Yizhou instead."
"We can capture him together and then cut off Chen Changfeng's right and left arm." The second prince was awakened by Zhao Gao and even thought of taking the opportunity to capture Xue Rengui.
In this way, Chen Changfeng's two diehard loyalists were eliminated at the same time.
"The second prince is extremely intelligent. If possible, I would like to ask Your Majesty to take back the military power of the Black Armored Guards. No matter what, Chen Changfeng cannot be allowed to take charge of the Black Armored Guards again." Zhao Gao suppressed the gloom on his face.
This time he sent Wang Zhen with more than a dozen members of the net.
However, Zhao Gao didn't feel it was a pity. He had wanted to kill Wang Zhen before, but this time Chen Changfeng helped him.
"I will definitely remember what Mr. Zhao said." The second prince nodded quickly.
The second prince left, and a dark figure appeared behind Zhao Gao: "Sir, Li Fengxian has arrived in the Tang Empire and has contacted our people."
"The Tang Dynasty is very interested in Li Fengxian. It is estimated that he will be able to lead the army in the Tang Empire within a few days."
"Well, it's so fast." A smile appeared on Zhao Gao's face, and then he quickly disappeared: "Send an order to the people below to let Li Feng gain a foothold in the Tang Dynasty first, so that he will be of great use in the future."
"Yes!" The black shadow nodded and disappeared into the room like a ghost.
…
"What should we do now?"
"Everyone in the Dudu's Mansion and the Prefect's Mansion were killed. The heads of Wei Taishou and his son were cut off and thrown on the street."
"Are we going to be treated like that too?"
"Captain Zhang and Governor Wei attacked the prince, but we didn't participate. They probably won't do anything to us."
Yizhou Dudu Mansion, most of the officials of Yizhou, big and small, were arrested here.
In the Governor's Mansion, although the corpses had been cleaned up, the ground was still stained with blood. Standing in the courtyard, the pungent smell of blood filled everyone's mouths and noses.
Chen Changfeng came over, Qisha moved a chair, and Chen Changfeng sat down in front of everyone with an expressionless face.
"Meet His Highness the Crown Prince." All Yizhou officials knelt on the ground.
Chen Changfeng did not let them get up, and looked at each official with a scrutinizing gaze.
All the officials were frightened. Chen Changfeng didn't even say anything to them to get up. Obviously, there would be no good fruit for them.
"Who else is not here?" Chen Changfeng looked at Xue Rengui.
"There are twenty-one people in total including the county magistrate of Yizhou, Yizhou Yicheng, and the chief secretary of Yizhou. Some of them are physically..."
"Execute them all!" Before Xue Rengui finished speaking, Chen Changfeng waved his hand and ordered.
