Chapter Thirty-ninth: The Royal Father and His Sons Are Gone
"I heard that you were defeated by Prince Chen Changfeng before, and now you don't even dare to come up to him. Are you just seeking death in such a hurry?"
"I also heard that you, the third prince, have always wanted to seize Chen Changfeng's position as crown prince. You said that if you didn't come here and I helped you kill Chen Changfeng, wouldn't you have a chance to seize the crown prince's position?"
Looking at the third prince holding a big sword in front of him, Hua Xiong's eyes were full of disdain.
Among the younger generation, he only respected two people along the way of martial arts.
One was Li Fengxian, the great general who was also the general of Da Chu, and the other was Liu Yuanba, the third prince of the Tang Dynasty.
As for the third prince of the Ming Empire in front of him, Hua Xiong didn't care at all.
The third prince knew that Hua Xiong was deliberately irritating him.
It is indeed good that he wants to snatch Chen Changfeng's position as the crown prince, and it is also good that he wants to kill Chen Changfeng with the help of the Dachu envoy.
But now that the Ming Empire was so humiliated by the Chu envoy, the third prince's only thought was to cut off the head of the Hua Xiong and promote the prestige of the Ming Dynasty.
The third prince said nothing, raised the long knife in his hand slightly, then shouted loudly and attacked Hua Xiong fiercely.
Hua Xiong held a stick to block, and the broadsword and mace collided fiercely. The explosive sparks were particularly bright under the night.
Hua Xiong felt a sharp pain from the tiger's mouth, and had to take a few steps back before removing the power from his hands.
"Hua Xiong retreats, he retreats, the third prince is mighty!"
"After one move, the Third Prince actually gained the upper hand!"
"The third prince is indeed the God of War in our army. Even if he faces a terrifying existence like Hua Xiong, he can be defeated with one move."
The Ming officials below looked excited.
They clearly saw Hua Xiong take a few steps back, and naturally great hope arose in their hearts.
Perhaps, the Third Prince can really win against Hua Xiong.
But many people didn't even show the slightest smile on their faces.
The emperor's eyes were still cold, and the eunuch Liu Xi beside him also looked gloomy.
Chen Changfeng also saw that the third prince's move just now was clearly based on Hua Xiong's underestimation of the enemy and caught him off guard.
Even so, Hua Xiong only took a few steps back.
It can be seen that the gap between the two is still very big.
"Hua Xiong, stop playing. Today I want to see how many kills you get before His Royal Highness the Prince of Ming Dynasty comes on stage." Li Fengxian stood in the audience and shouted to Hua Xiong with a look of disdain on his face.
In today's life-and-death contest, either Ming Dynasty will admit defeat, or they will keep fighting until Emperor Ming Dynasty lets Chen Changfeng enter the ring.
"Don't worry, Lord Divine General, the next move will make him lie on the ground." Hua Xiong responded loudly, and then looked at Chen Changfeng in the audience with a serious look.
"How dare you look down on me!" Seeing that Hua Xiong didn't care about him so much, the third prince was furious.
Immediately he waved his sword again and slashed at Hua Xiong.
"Do you really think you can win against me with this move?" Hua Xiong squeezed the mace in his hand tightly, and then attacked the third prince.
In just an instant, the two weapons collided.
Then, under the horrified gazes of everyone, the third prince looked up to the sky, spit out a mouthful of blood, and fell heavily on the ring.
The big knife in his hand also fell under the ring.
"You dare to yell at me with such ability. It's a pity that the first Ming prince I killed was a waste like you." Hua Xiong's voice was full of disdain.
The third prince no longer had any strength to fight back at this moment.
I can only watch Hua Xiong walking here step by step.
The emperor stood up suddenly and was about to tell Hua Xiong to stop, but he saw a figure who was faster than him and rushed to the ring first.
"Prince?"
"Your Highness, what is he going to do?"
"Are you crazy? When you go to the ring, you want to compete with Hua Xiong. His Royal Highness, he..."
"Chen Changfeng, what are you doing!" The emperor was also confused.
The third prince hasn't been rescued yet, but the prince Chen Changfeng has come to his door again?
The emperor himself had just banned Chen Changfeng from going to war, but he actually disobeyed his emperor's wishes!
"Hua Xiong, don't you want to kill me? I'm here now, how about asking him to get down?" Chen Changfeng pointed at the third prince on the ground.
"Old Six!" The third prince spat out a mouthful of blood.
"It is said that the princes of the Ming Dynasty all harbored evil intentions in order to compete for the crown prince position. Unexpectedly, the prince of the Ming Dynasty actually wanted to save the third prince who has always been against him at this time."
"Third Prince, you are really noble!" Hua Xiong laughed.
"You think I want to save him, but in my heart I wish he would die, but if he dies, it will do me no good."
"On the contrary, I want your head more." Chen Changfeng glanced at the third prince and said calmly.
The third prince couldn't hold back his blood.
Just now he was secretly moved.
I thought about how I treated Chen Changfeng before, but Chen Changfeng actually exchanged his life for his own safety at such a critical moment of life and death.
Unexpectedly, Chen Changfeng said that he wished he could die!
"Haha, you want my head, Chen Changfeng. This is the most ridiculous joke I have ever heard in my life."
"Then you'd better smile for a while, or you'll have no chance in the future!" Chen Changfeng looked calm, and then looked at the emperor: "Father, if you don't send someone to carry this guy back, he will really die!"
The emperor was even a little anxious at this moment.
He knew that if Chen Changfeng did not come, the third prince would definitely die at the hands of Hua Xiong today.
But now that Chen Changfeng is in power, what should Chen Changfeng do?
The people in the Da Chu mission wanted to kill Chen Changfeng. Even if they surrendered at this moment, they would definitely not agree.
But he, the father, is now helplessly watching Chen Changfeng, the prince, die at the hands of Hua Xiong?
Seeing that the emperor didn't say anything, Yao Xiaoren quickly asked someone to carry the third prince down.
Otherwise, if Hua Xiong is "careless" later, the third prince may also be killed in the arena.
"I didn't expect that His Highness the Crown Prince would be so kind."
"The third prince's life was saved by His Highness the Crown Prince."
"But what should His Highness do about himself?"
At this moment, the officials of the Ming Dynasty sighed at Chen Changfeng's self-sacrifice for others, but they couldn't help but worry about Chen Changfeng.
Of course, some people even hope that Chen Changfeng will die at the hands of Hua Xiong.
In this way, Chen Changfeng's position as prince will be immediately vacant!
"Your Highness, what does Chen Changfeng mean?"
"He actually has the guts to come on stage?" Li Fengxian was really confused now.
Everyone knows that Chen Changfeng does not know martial arts.
But it happened that such a guy who didn't know martial arts took the initiative to stand in the ring.
Li Fengxian couldn't figure it out at all.
Xiang Ying also didn't understand why Chen Changfeng wanted to seek death like this?
Isn’t it good to be alive?
In order to save someone who was trying to steal his position as prince, he risked his own life.
Is there really something wrong with your brain?
In fact, Chen Changfeng really didn't want to save the third prince, but if he didn't play today, Ming Dynasty would definitely lose this match.
And we don’t know how many people will die.
Ming Dynasty only had so little capital, and it all died here?
And if he comes on stage later, the third prince will definitely die.
When the time comes that he defeats Hua Xiong, what will the emperor think?
Could he feel that he deliberately didn't save the third prince?
When the time comes, the emperor thinks that he deliberately killed the third prince, and Chen Changfeng may not have an easy life in the future.
Maybe one day, the second prince will take advantage of him.
It would be better to save the third prince now and let the emperor feel his self-sacrifice spirit.
Even if the emperor is dissatisfied in the future, the emperor will definitely not pursue anything after what happened today.
Furthermore, there are still people who have not joined the second and third princes, and they are also Chen Changfeng's targets.
"Third brother is fine, I can rest assured."
"Father, my son has gone!" Chen Changfeng, who was on the stage, suddenly turned around and shouted to the emperor. This chapter has been completed!
