Chapter 24: Stealing the Melon, You Have to Squeeze the Melon and the Vine
Chen Changfeng had no other ideas. He just wanted to recruit all the capable people under the third prince.
Didn't his third prince always want to steal his position as prince?
Then bring all the things he relies on to your side!
By then, the third prince's underwear will be taken away by him.
Let's see if he has the guts to come out with his butt naked to fight with me.
Master Xu hesitated.
It's not that he doesn't understand the struggle for power in the imperial court. Chen Changfeng wants all his disciples to come to the East Palace.
In addition to wanting to speed up the development of these new weapons, he was also preparing to suppress the Third Prince.
This is a one-pot dish!
Be more ruthless!
When he was in the weapons prison, the third prince still respected him very much, but Master Xu didn't want to...
Chen Changfeng knew what Master Xu was thinking, so he took out another stack of drawings from his arms.
"Master Xu, look at these. If your apprentices can study more new weapons blueprints, they will definitely achieve something in the future. What future can they have if they stay in the weapons supervisor?" Chen Changfeng handed another stack of blueprints to Master Xu.
Master Xu’s eyes widened.
Chen Changfeng actually has new weapon blueprints?
Moreover, it was something that Master Xu had never seen before.
How did he do this?
Master Xu was secretly shocked, so he couldn't help but curse in secret.
At this moment, Master Xu's mind was filled with what Chen Changfeng said about what he could do if he stayed in the weapons supervision department.
Indeed, in the past ten years, they have been researching new weapons in the Ming Empire's weapons inspection department.
But there was no progress, which is why Master Xu was disheartened and ready to leave.
But today, he actually got three drawings in the hands of Chen Changfeng that he could never think of in his entire life.
If only his apprentice could study these drawings...
"I will write a letter to my disciples now. I'd like to ask His Highness the Crown Prince to send someone to call them over." Master Xu quickly stuffed the drawings given by Chen Changfeng into his arms, and then started writing a letter on the table.
…
The third prince thought that he must have been guilty of Tai Sui in the past two days.
Otherwise, how could I be so unlucky?
Fortunately, Mr. Xu, the weapons supervisor under his command, was abducted by that bastard Chen Changfeng.
Master Xu was a master of casting in the world, and even the emperor would consider his words carefully.
In order to keep Master Xu, he even sent people to the Chu Empire to steal weapons blueprints, and he lost a lot of people for this.
Unexpectedly, Master Xu ran away with Chen Changfeng in the end.
He also gave away half of his property in the capital.
Chen Changfeng was upset by the couplet between the second prince and the third prince. The second prince did not have the kindness to refuse the promise made by the third prince.
No, the second prince even came to the door in person.
"Third brother, are you still worried about what happened yesterday?" the second prince said with a smile.
It seems that yesterday he was challenged by Chen Changfeng in two consecutive couplets, but it didn't affect him at all.
The third prince raised his head and glanced at the second prince, and said with a gloomy expression: "If the Minister of Household Affairs has taken refuge in Lao Liu, the second brother's mood will probably not be much better."
"Besides, the second brother was the most talented man in the Ming Empire, but he lost to that loser Lao Liu. Now the second brother can laugh. This is really a good attitude."
"Does the second brother think that he is not as talented and knowledgeable as the sixth brother?"
The second prince's face immediately turned ugly when the third prince said this.
But it didn't happen.
"I'm not here to make fun of you today. This guy Lao Liu has changed his appearance now. He seems to be a different person. The locust plague has temporarily allowed him to keep his position as the crown prince."
"He robbed Master Xu from your service and humiliated me. We must avenge him."
"The Da Chu envoy will arrive in a few days, and there will definitely be a martial arts competition. We will let Lao Liu come..."
"Let the sixth prince come, how is this possible?" The third prince was shocked by the second prince's words.
Chen Changfeng has always been a waste, without any martial arts.
Asking him to go up and fight with the people of the Chu Empire was obviously asking him to die, and the emperor would never agree to it.
"This requires you, third brother, to cooperate with me." The second prince smiled, with a trace of sinisterness flashing across his face.
The third prince was completely confused. Will he cooperate with the second prince?
But Chen Changfeng didn't know martial arts, how could he cooperate so that the emperor would agree to let Chen Changfeng fight the Da Chu envoy?
"Third brother, listen to me..." The second prince stood in the ear of the third prince and whispered something.
After a moment, the third prince's face showed surprise, and then slowly turned into joy.
"Hahahaha, the second brother has to be you. I can't think of such a way." The third prince looked excited.
The second prince smiled slightly: "If he dares to go against our two brothers, he will naturally have to pay the price..."
"Third Prince, something serious has happened. His Royal Highness took Master Xu's letter and went to the weapons prison to take away all Master Xu's disciples!"
A person suddenly broke in outside the palace and reported to the third prince about the weapons supervisor.
When the third prince heard this, he almost spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Bastard, bastard, I'm going to kill him." The third prince was so angry that his liver ached.
Not counting that Chen Changfeng abducted Master Xu, now he has also taken away Master Xu’s apprentice.
The melons that I had worked so hard to plant were finally about to be harvested, but the bastard Chen Changfeng suddenly rushed over.
Not only did he take away his own melons, but now he even took away the melon vines!
The third prince has never suffered from such cowardice.
He immediately drew his sword and prepared to fight Chen Changfeng.
"Third brother!" The second prince quickly grabbed the third prince.
"Let me go. Today, with me and without him, with him and without me, I must kill that bitch." The third prince's eyes turned red.
Just now, I was discussing with the second prince to deal with Chen Changfeng, but now it's better, he will deal with me first?
God knows how much effort the third prince spent on Master Xu and his apprentice.
During festivals and birthdays, his three princes would send congratulatory gifts to his door.
Someone was sick, and the third prince asked his personal doctor to diagnose and treat him.
The reason is that Master Xu’s master and apprentice can always help him consolidate his power in the army.
The results of it?
Are they all following Chen Changfeng now?
The third prince was trembling all over, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was obviously extremely angry.
"Third brother, if you rush over and kill Lao Liu now, what will your father do to you? When the time comes, the crown prince's position will be..." The second prince stepped aside with a smile on his face.
The third prince suddenly woke up. If he went to kill Chen Changfeng now, the emperor would definitely not let him go.
When the time comes, won’t the crown prince’s position belong to this second-in-command?
The third prince put down his sword, but his chest was still rising and falling.
"Lao Liu took Master Xu's apprentice away. We can use this as an excuse to get Father to agree to a competition between you and Lao Liu."
"Then you will do what I just said."
"Third brother, temporary gains and losses are nothing. Whoever laughs to the end is the winner."
"What do you think?" the second prince said slowly.
The third prince rushed over now, not to mention whether he would kill Chen Changfeng.
Even if Chen Changfeng is really killed by the third child, the emperor will be angry and he, the second prince, will not be able to live with him.
He didn't want Chen Changfeng to die in his own hands.
But if he died in the hands of the Da Chu envoy, the emperor would not be able to cause trouble to them.
Even if he kills all the members of the Dachu delegation in a fit of rage, does that have anything to do with him?
The third prince said nothing, but his mood gradually calmed down.
"You're right, temporary gains and losses are nothing. If that bastard Lao Liu dares to form such a team, I will kill him."
"Let's go, let's go meet our father now," the third prince took back his sword and walked out of the hall quickly. This chapter has been completed!
