In the garrison camp of Yumen County, Prince Zhu Hongyu and Li Wei, the steward of the East Palace, returned to the camp together.
The county guard Fang Ziqing wisely gave up the Chinese army's tent to let the prince rest.
At this moment, four guards commanders were personally guarding outside the Chinese army's tent.
Zhu Hongyu sat at the head of the tent with an expressionless face.
Manager Li on one side was leaning weakly on a wooden chair. Although he had changed into clean clothes, his face was still pale and his breath was weak.
The atmosphere in the big tent was extremely depressing. After a long silence, Li Wei, who was worried, finally spoke first.
"Your Highness, it's all because of the incompetence of this servant. He is no match for Zhang Dingnan."
As he said this, he said in disbelief.
"I heard that this person has just broken through to the moon level not long ago, but how can one of his spiritual clones have such power?"
Hearing this, Zhu Hongyu sneered.
"Zhang Dingnan has just broken through the moon level. Do you believe this?"
Li Wei was surprised when he heard this and couldn't help but wonder.
"But I remember that His Majesty also issued a decree to commend Zhang Dingnan. Could it be that... he even dared to deceive His Majesty?"
Zhu Hongyu glanced at Li Wei and sighed.
"Li Wei, Li Wei, as the head chamberlain of my East Palace, how come you can't even see these things?"
Li Wei was startled when he heard this, and his limp body suddenly sat up straighter.
Then Zhu Hongyu continued to speak.
"Zhang Dingnan broke through to the moon level, and my father lavishly rewarded Xi Chuan. It was just a play between my father and Zhang Dingnan.
Firstly, it was because the Eye of Spiritual Spring appeared in Xichuan Province, and the Great Yan Empire tried to cause trouble secretly. This move could confuse the Great Yan Empire and make them underestimate the power of Zhang Dingnan and Xichuan.
Secondly, Zhang Dingnan joined the military after graduating from Tiannan College. He repeatedly made outstanding achievements in the South China Sea battlefield, and his reputation in the military was growing day by day. He has now become the "pioneer" of the main war faction in North Korea and China. His sharpness is so outstanding. .
Nowadays, the battle between the "official department" and the "military department" of our Qianlan Empire is gradually intensifying. The conservative veterans of the official department have long regarded Zhang Dingnan as a thorn in their side, and my father also intends to protect him. "
Hearing this, Li Wei couldn't help but change his face. He didn't expect that there were so many secrets in it.
But Li Wei still couldn't help showing a trace of resentment.
"Your Highness, no matter how amazing and talented Zhang Dingnan is, he is just a minister who will serve the royal family until death.
How dare this man take action against a slave in front of His Highness for that boy? It doesn't matter if the slave is injured, how can His Highness's face be saved? It’s really hard for this slave to swallow this breath! "
Hearing this, Zhu Hongyu sighed.
"I know that you have been wronged, and Zhang Dingnan is indeed arrogant. However, now I still can't touch him, and I don't dare to touch him!"
Li Wei was shocked.
"Why did Your Highness say this?"
Zhu Hongyu narrowed his eyes slightly, stared at the east, and said quietly.
"Zhang Dingnan has made great achievements in the South China Sea. Not only does he have a high reputation in the military, but he is also a person who is extremely favored by the father. He pays more attention to him than even the princes like us. It can be said that he is a huge favor.
Not only that, Zhang Dingnan is also the default successor of Generalissimo Dugu, and is destined to become one of the top brass in the military in the future.
Even though I am the prince, there is really nothing I can do to this person! "
Hearing these words, Li Wei couldn't help but sweat dripping from his forehead. Apart from being frightened, he also felt a little bit unwilling.
"Your Highness, do we have to tolerate this person forever?"
Zhu Hongyu sneered.
"This Zhang Dingnan, I sent people to secretly express my goodwill to him more than once and wanted to make friends with him, but this person did not know how to flatter me and rejected my kindness many times.
Now my father is in good health, and although I am the prince, my two younger brothers are very restless.
Although the two of them are incompatible at all, if someone like Zhang Dingnan is supporting them, they will definitely become a disaster. "
Speaking of this, Zhu Hongyu's eyes flashed with murderous intent.
"Since Zhang Dingnan can't be used by me, I naturally can't let him pose a threat to me.
Although I can't move him, someone can, especially after the battle in the South China Sea! "
When Li Wei heard this, he became more and more puzzled.
"Your Highness, now that the South China Sea has been won, General Dugu has been crowned king, and the military is at its peak, Zhang Dingnan is probably going to become even more arrogant, right?"
Zhu Hongyu sneered.
"You're such a sleepy old man, do you know what "peak prosperity and decline" means?"
"Uh...please give me some advice, Your Highness."
"In this great victory in the South China Sea, Commander Dugu severely defeated the Tenth King of the Kraken, which enhanced our country's prestige. He was canonized as the King of Zhennan by his father, which seems to have boosted the prestige of the military.
But do you know how much the commander Dugu paid this time to severely injure the Dongxu Divine Beast? This commander... I am afraid he will never make a move again.
This time, the military department has an extravagant and famous prince, but it lacks the powerful "Taishan Beidou". Do you think those old guys in the official department will let go of this opportunity to suppress the military department?
In this case, why don't I use the help of the officials to deal with Zhang Dingnan! "
Hearing this, Li Wei suddenly realized it and couldn't help but force himself to turn over and kneel down.
"Your Highness is indeed extremely intelligent and resourceful. I admire you, I admire you!"
When Zhu Hongyu heard this, there was no trace of pride on his face. Instead, he sighed deeply.
"Hey...it's a pity that this time I still missed the hole in the hole.
If I can obtain this treasure and refine it, I can also cultivate the supreme magical power of the cave beast.
My father will definitely rely on me even more by then. Who will dare to compete with me for the future unification of the Qianlan Empire? "
Thinking of this, Zhu Hongyu's face became more regretful and unwilling.
He couldn't help but ask Li Wei again.
"Do you think that boy named Han Feng is suspicious?"
Hearing this, Li Wei turned his eyes and thought for a moment.
"Your Highness, the matter of the Dongxu Eye being taken away is indeed strange. Although the possibility of this son stealing the treasure is very slim, there is still a bit of suspicion.
Although he could not sense the aura of the seal from this child, it could not be ruled out that he had hidden the object somewhere else. "
Hearing this, Zhu Hongyu couldn't help but shrink his eyes and said.
"But this person is protected by Zhang Dingnan, and I don't want to break up with Zhang Dingnan at this time. This is a bit embarrassing."
Hearing this, Li Wei showed a cold smile on his face.
"Your Highness, if you still want to take advantage of that kid, I have a plan to keep you safe."
"oh……?"
Zhu Hongyu looked surprised.
"Say it quickly."
Li Wei immediately stepped forward and whispered.
"Your Highness, since you don't want to confront Zhang Dingnan, and you don't want to let that kid go, why not try another approach.
For example...take that kid for your own use! "
Zhu Hongyu was stunned for a moment, seemed to understand something, and narrowed his eyes.
"You go on."
"Your Highness, as long as that boy stays with Your Highness, if he really gets the Eye of Cave, over time, are you still afraid that he won't reveal his flaws?
Why don't Your Highness favor this son and accompany him to the East Palace? This is a great kindness. Even Zhang Dingnan has nothing to say.
And that kid has a close relationship with Zhang Dingnan. As long as he is controlled, His Highness may be able to use this bond to open up the relationship with Zhang Dingnan and draw him into our camp! "
Hearing this, Zhu Hongyu's eyes couldn't help but brighten, and a smile finally appeared on his face.
"You're an old guy. Although you don't have a big strategy, you are very good at scheming and revenge."
When Li Wei heard this, a smile appeared on his face.
"Your Highness is so complimentary."
…
But that day, Han Feng returned to the military camp alone.
Jin Buhuan, Nangong Qi, Lu Yuner, Jiang Biao and others rushed over and asked him what happened and why the young man was looking for him.
Of course Han Feng didn't want anyone to get involved, so he just found an excuse to excuse himself.
But now, there are only three days left before their one-month duty in Beiyang City expires.
Han Feng planned to spend these three days peacefully before returning to the academy to practice hard.
Although today's crisis was resolved, it also made him understand again the importance of "power"!
In the face of a powerful enough force, even if the other party is the prince of the empire, they can only choose to compromise.
Therefore, Han Feng must make himself stronger as soon as possible.
However, just after Han Feng practiced quietly for a night.
Early the next morning, the county guard Fang Ziqing came to visit Han Feng in person.
But it turned out that His Highness the Crown Prince was in the Chinese army's tent, asking Han Feng to speak.
After learning about this, Han Feng was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the other party would come to find him, but he was not afraid.
If the prince really has no scruples and is not afraid of his elder brother's intimidation, why wait until now? He can take revenge at any time, and why send Governor Fang to invite him.
Han Feng was also curious about what the other party had in mind, so he simply followed Governor Fang calmly.
