Seeing that the time was almost up, Chu Wuming extended an olive branch at the right time. After hearing Chu Wuming's words, Zhao Feng, who was already ashen-faced, looked at Chu Wuming above the main seat with a strange expression.
What Chu Wuming said just now made it obvious enough. As long as Zhao Feng surrenders, then Zhao Tuo will naturally be fine.
Looking at Chu Wuming blankly, it was at this moment that Zhao Feng finally realized the key to the whole matter.
At first, Zhao Feng was too worried about Zhao Tuo's safety, so he didn't have time to think about it. But now that he thinks about it carefully, this whole thing is full of doubts. Moreover, from beginning to end, Xiao Chen seems to have been prepared for it. , otherwise, how could it be possible to capture Zhao Tuo so easily, and how could Xiao Chen know about Concubine Qu's letter
To be honest, Xiao Chen's plan is not very clever, so even a general like Zhao Feng can easily see the clues in it. However, this is the genius of Xiao Chen's plan, because even if Zhao Feng So what if you see through it? He no longer had any choice.
Guessing that this whole thing was probably planned by Xiao Chen and Chu Wuming themselves, they deliberately seduced Zhao Tuo. As for the ultimate goal, it was to conquer him, Zhao Feng.
He looked at Chu Wuming in disbelief. Although he had been guarding Hulao Pass all year round, Zhao Feng had also heard about the dispute between the princes. He did not expect that the ambition of the third prince Chu Wuming was so great.
Zhao Feng did not believe that Chu Wuming was simply recruiting him. The reason for doing this was that Chu Wuming’s ultimate goal was obviously the 300,000 soldiers of the Zhenshan Army. In other words, Chu Wuming recruited him in order to control the military power of the Zhenshan Army. .
The other princes are still fighting to the death in the imperial capital, with only the crown prince in their eyes. However, Chu Wuming has actually thought of competing for military power. In such a comparison, Chu Wuming's ambition...
Of course, Zhao Feng didn't know that all of this was actually planned by Xiao Chen, and Chu Wuming was just following orders.
Without urging Zhao Feng, Chu Wuming waited patiently. After half a while, Zhao Feng took a deep breath and finally spoke.
Zhao Feng slowly stood up, knelt down respectfully to Chu Wuming again, and shouted loudly, "Zhao Feng and all the officers of the Zhenshan Army are willing to slay His Highness the Third Prince."
Just as Xiao Chen thought, even if Zhao Feng had guessed everything in the end, so what, the deal was already done and Zhao Feng had no choice but to seek refuge with Chu Wuming.
Hearing what Zhao Feng said, Chu Wuming smiled slightly, then quickly came to Zhao Feng, helped him up with his own hands, and said with a smile on his face.
"General Zhao, you're welcome. We will be our own people from now on, haha."
Hearing what Chu Wuming said, Zhao Feng had no choice but to smile. There was nothing that could be done about it. Otherwise, how could Zhao Feng have taken refuge in Chu Wuming? You know, if Chu Mu knew that he had secretly taken refuge with Chu Wuming, he would surely die. .
After successfully subduing Zhao Feng, Zhao Tuo was soon released and sent the two brothers out of the hospital in person. Before leaving, Chu Wuming said lightly, "General Zhao, I want to visit the military camp in Japan tomorrow."
"General, I obey." Hearing Chu Wuming's words, Zhao Feng was stunned for a moment, but soon nodded respectfully.
If it were before, Zhao Feng would never agree to Chu Wuming going to the military camp, but now, Zhao Feng has no choice, and the reason why Chu Wuming proposed to go to the military camp was just to see Zhao Feng's attitude.
Nodding with satisfaction, Chu Wuming watched the Zhao Feng brothers leave.
All the way back to General Zhenshan's Mansion, the two brothers sat opposite each other in the garden. Looking at their eldest brother, Zhao Tuo said in surprise, "Brother, have you really taken refuge with His Highness the Third Prince? If His Majesty knows about this, you… … "
From Zhao Feng's mouth, Zhao Tuo already knew about his surrender to Chu Wuming. Faced with his brother's surprise, Zhao Feng said helplessly.
"You think I am thinking, but no one expected that the third prince, who has always seemed weak, would actually have such means, and his ambition would reach such an extent, that he has already begun to seek to seize His Majesty's military power."
Zhao Feng had no choice in what happened today. If he didn't surrender, he would die. After finishing his words, Zhao Feng glanced at Zhao Tuo, and a look of perseverance quickly flashed in his eyes.
"That's all, please remember that from today on, you and I, brothers, are all members of His Highness the Third Prince. We are not allowed to show any disrespect to His Highness anymore."
He was worthy of being the leader of an army. After the initial depression and helplessness, Zhao Feng quickly made up his mind.
Now that the deal is done, Zhao Feng has no other way to go. He can only assist His Highness the Third Prince wholeheartedly. In this way, after His Highness the Third Prince gains power in the future, he, Zhao Feng, may be able to reach the sky in one step.
Zhao Feng really made up his mind, and at the same time, far away in the imperial capital, Si Kongming was actually sitting with Concubine Qu in an elegant room of an ordinary restaurant.
Early this morning, Sikong Ming asked the Seventh Prince to let Concubine Qu out of the palace for a reunion. Facing the invitation of the Seventh Prince, Concubine Qu did not refuse because she was not qualified to refuse at all, because the Seventh Prince said to her, " In the mountain city of Hulao Pass, the assassination attempt by General Zhao Tuo failed."
Because of these words, Concubine Qu could not refuse the seventh prince's request. She had no choice but to leave the palace and came to this restaurant at the agreed time.
Looking at Sikong Ming in front of her, Concubine Qu's eyes were full of chills, but Si Kongming seemed to have not seen it at all. With a faint smile on her face, she said, "I am Sikong Ming, the manager of Tianchen Residence, and the special commissioner of Young Master Xiao Chen. I say hello to the noble concubine."
Sikong Ming announced his identity. After hearing this, Concubine Qu's face darkened. She was already filled with anger, but when she heard that Sikong Ming was actually Xiao Chen's person, Concubine Qu could not control herself. She immediately said with a dark expression, "Xiao Chen, what does he want? My son has died in his hands, does he not even want to let me go?"
Knowing that the affair between herself and Zhao Tuo had been exposed, Concubine Qu naturally felt that Xiao Chen wanted to deal with her. Facing Concubine Qu's angry shouts, Si Kong Ming still said with a smile.
"The noble concubine has misunderstood. The young master knows that the noble concubine has always been worried about the fifth prince's affairs, but has the noble concubine ever thought that if the fifth prince had not defiled the young master's sister first, the young master would have killed the fifth prince."
"The matter has passed, and the young master does not intend to pursue the matter this time. However, the young master asked me to tell the concubine that it is better to let go of the hatred towards the concubine. Of course, if the concubine cannot let go, then the one who intends to kill the emperor's nephew will If the matter spreads to the imperial capital, I think the noble concubine should also know the consequences. I will say this and hope that the noble concubine is a sensible person. I will take my leave."
