Chapter 567 Reversal (1 update)
"My Lord is truly powerful and has foreseen everything. Before, I didn't believe that the Second Prince would travel thousands of miles to save your life. After all, you are his rival for the throne."
Chen Chu said sarcastically, "There has never been a fight for the throne without rivers of blood. Where is the brotherhood in the royal family? It's all intrigue and deception."
"But I didn't expect that the relationship between you brothers is so good. You actually brought the Second Prince into the game."
Chen Chu was very excited, "My Lord is truly a master strategist!"
The Second Prince clenched the sword in his hand. If he didn't understand at this point that the other party had already set a trap, waiting for them to fall into it, they would lose their heads.
He looked around and immediately knew that there were probably no less than 2,000 people here.
It was estimated that all the bandits in the whole village were out, just to catch him and the third brother here.
"Chen Chu, I originally thought that you were just greedy for money and power, but I didn't expect that you would collude with bandits. What do you want to do?"
The third prince's face was pale. This time he really capsized in the dark!
If it was just him who capsized, it would be fine. Chen Chu was his uncle, and he should have handled it personally. If he was defeated by the other party in the end, it was because he was not as good as others, and he could not blame others.
But now it is different. In order to save him, the second brother was also trapped here. If he caused the second brother to die here, it would be his sin.
Chen Chu laughed arrogantly, "I've already said it, I want to be promoted to a higher position, and I want the Chen family to continue to rule for generations!"
"Dream on! To achieve this goal, unless you have achievements that are praised by the world, otherwise, Daliang will not have a king of a different surname!"
The third prince sneered.
Chen Chu was not angry at all, "I think so too. Look, I have already started to accumulate merits. I have solved the problems of you and the second prince and cleared the obstacles for the master to fight for the throne. This is definitely a great achievement!"
"If my second brother and I were killed by these bandits, do you think you will have a good life as the Shandong patrol? First, the disaster relief was unsuccessful, and then something happened to the prince. Do you think father will keep you?"
The third prince was really sarcastic. Even though his face was pale and he looked like a wolf, he was very eloquent.
"You don't need to worry about this. After all, the enemy's spies are omnipresent. As a civil servant, I am indeed unable to cope with them. I believe that Your Majesty will understand."
Chen Chu had already designed all of this, and every link was tightly integrated, so he would naturally get himself out of a pile of troubles.
The third prince pursed his lips tightly. The enemy's spies, this guy really knows how to find a scapegoat.
Since he said so, he must have already prepared evidence, witnesses, and other convincing arguments.
In addition to Da Cang in the northwest, Daliang still has many enemies, such as Dameng. Daliang has just conquered Da Cang. If it clashes with Dameng again at this time, it is very likely that there will be another big war.
However, floods in the south of the Yangtze River and droughts in Shandong have just helped these two places recover. If war breaks out again, it will surely drag down Daliang. The treasury and the people cannot afford such consumption.
Once a war breaks out, it will be fine if it ends in a short time. However, if the war is prolonged, Daliang will definitely not be able to afford it. By then, the people will be living in poverty and civil unrest will easily occur.
"Chen Chu, who are you working for? What good will it do you to provoke a war, displace the people, and kill the soldiers?"
The third prince was very angry. He really thought this man was crazy.
Facts have proved that Chen Chu is indeed a madman. "There are so many benefits. Only through war can the master's talent be highlighted! Only then can the master have the opportunity to shine in front of the world."
"Of course, this has nothing to do with you."
Chen Chu raised his sword, smiling brilliantly, and murderous aura suddenly appeared. "Now, please die for my great cause." The second
prince directly stood in front of the third prince. The guards he brought with him also realized the seriousness of the matter. Just now, they were thinking of arresting those men in black, going back for interrogation, and making them witnesses.
However, in this situation, in order to prevent these people from turning against them temporarily, they were directly solved with one sword each.
However, 200 people against more than 2,000 people, and under the situation of being surrounded, even if they are good at fighting, two fists cannot beat four hands, and there is little hope for them to break out of the encirclement.
Everyone is really fighting with their backs against the wall, and they are ready to die.
The melee began.
Although there are many bandits, the captain of the guards knew that they were not ordinary bandits as soon as they fought. Bandits
are usually wild, without routines and training. There are not many who are good at martial arts, and most of them use brute force.
However, these people have obviously undergone rigorous training, and they even use formations commonly used in the army during the battle.
These are not bandits at all, they are private soldiers.
These more than 2,000 people are private soldiers raised by Chen Chu in the name of bandits in this deep mountain forest!
The second prince had been to the battlefield before, and he saw the problem at a glance.
"Chen Chu, how dare you raise private soldiers! Do you want to rebel?"
Chen Chu: "Of course not, I am only loyal to the master I recognize! Second prince, you are about to die, I advise you not to think too much, it's useless to think about it."
As he spoke, the stronghold leader's sword stabbed the second prince's heart from behind.
However, the sharp blade only pierced his clothes and could no longer move forward.
The second prince smiled, propped himself on the ground with the tip of his sword, and turned backwards to come directly behind the village chief. "So what if you have more people? My people are all the best selected from thousands. Do you think you can touch us with just a mob like you?"
As he spoke, the long sword in his hand had left a deep wound on the village chief's right arm.
At this time, the bandits also discovered that these guards are impossible to kill.
Swords and knives can only tear their clothes. They are simply invulnerable!
The bandits panicked. If these people can't be killed, what's the point of having so many people?
Yes, these people are wearing protective clothing to protect their vital parts.
"Chen Chu, it's not that easy to kill us!" The second prince laughed wildly.
Little did they know that Chen Chu was not panicked or angry, but excited. "It's difficult to kill you, but it's much easier to kill the prince."
Instantly, the faces of the second and third princes turned very ugly.
Chen Chu felt extremely satisfied, and he was very arrogant. "I've always heard that the prince has a secret guard with special armor that is invulnerable to swords and guns. Obviously, these people are around the prince now."
"The prince is really naive. He actually gave the secret guards to you. There is actually such a thing as brotherhood in the royal family."
"I just don't know if he will regret it at this moment? After all, the people who assassinated the prince are much more elite than these bandits."
A cruel smile flashed in Chen Chu's eyes.
