56 Chapter 56

Chen Ming smiled at Dongfang Muren and Zhang Tianlong. He knew right away that his grandfather would have told the two of them to come and help him. The Third Prince had a very bad expression on his face. He looked annoyed, which was different from what Chen Ming thought.

‘Look at his expression and reaction when he sees me he didn’t seem to hate or angry at me, just annoyed? The Third Prince might not be behind the attacks by bandits. There must be someone else behind the scenes for sure…. The Crown Prince? Hah… that was unlikely because he didn’t pay any attention to me a little before I blocked him.’

Chen Ming looked at the crown prince who was now shown the indifferent expression. He was trying to keep his expression steady all the time. But he forgot about his sweat.

‘The Crown Prince himself should not be the culprit. He was not capable enough to force those people to fight until death. There must be others, but who?’

The more He thought, the more He felt that there was something deeper than that. Chen Ming was now confident. The people who wanted his life weren't the Third Prince and the Crown Prince. He had to find out the truth of the fact why the Crown Prince wanted to send his father to Chang'an first.

Chen Ming needs someone to open up the issue. He looked at Dongfang Muren and Zhang Tianlong. Who was suitable for this job? He knew Dongfang Muren's temperament, but not much. On the other hand, with Zhang Tianlong. He didn't know anything about this old man. He only knew that he was his mother's father.

He turned to Long Men and Long Ren. Long Men is the name of the Third Prince. Long Ren is the name of the Crown Prince. He looked at both of them. Both of them tried to avoid his gaze. Chen Ming expected that the two more or less knew about the matter he had been targeted. He must place good checkers. In order to continue this game as long as possible

Chen Ming chose to talk to Dongfang Muren about how he would deploy troops to defeat the rebels in Chang'an.

He spoke as if he was excited to go to war in honor of the clan.

'',

Zhang Tianlong spoke up.

“Chang'an City is in my custody area, Zhang Clan, why are you the heir of the Chen Clan being sent there? It took more than a month from Duanyang City to Chang'an. By the time you reach the rebels, they'll all know it. This should be the duty of me and the Zhang family.”

Zhang Tianlong looked at Long Ren. At this moment trying to find out about the situation. Long Ren didn't think that Zhang Tianlong would come to Chen Ming like this. It's all gone wrong. He now needed to calm Zhang Tianlong with his reasoning.

Will Chen Ming agree?

Chen Ming turned to Zhang Tianlong before interrupting the Prince.

“Grandfather, I didn't know that Chang'an was a city under Grandpa's care. Father, too, did not know this. At first, the crown prince wanted to ask his father to lead his army to Chang'an to defeat the rebellion. I thought it might be too much for a general to deal with this little matter so I volunteered. I hope that Grandfather will not be angry with father and me.”

Chen Ming spoke with a trembling voice. As if he was afraid that Zhang Tianlong would be angry. Zhang Tianlong gently stroked his head before speaking.

“I'm not mad at you, Ming'er, you just don't know. like your father Chang'an City was an outpost just like Duanyang City. There was no ruler in this city before. Therefore, there were many rebellions. I'm thinking of dealing with this problem. You don't have to worry. Grandfather doesn't hold a grudge against you."

Zhang Tianlong had the feeling of being a kind grandfather. But the look he looked at Long Ren was not the same as he looked at Chen Ming. His eyes were full of sharpness. Zhang Tianlong turned to Chen Ming before speaking.

“Ming'er, why don't you get to know the Third Prince? I think you and him can be friends. Grandfather has something to discuss with the crown prince.”

'',

Zhang Tianlong had to clear things up. Dongfang Muren was the same. He mumbled no one could hear. But Chen Ming was the closest. He could hear with both of his ears.

“Dare to bully my grandson-in-law, hmm, I will immerse the palace with my winter martial arts.”

Chen Ming was sweating. He was suspicious of Dongfang Gu's engagement. He probably didn't want to be frozen with a technique that he felt must be extremely strong.

He had now shifted the matter of the crown prince to both of them. From now on, what happens is up to Long Ren to be witty enough to survive the two tigers or not.

Chen Ming walked towards Long Men, who had now let out a sigh of relief. Long Men looked at Chen Ming before speaking.

“I'm not gonna be involved in this. Your fortune is not good, that was your fault. I just want to summon General Chen for advice on the overlapping strategy.”

The Third Prince spoke briefly before crossing his arms. Chen Ming saw that but blinked his eyes. He laughed out loud. This third prince wasn't the one who would use dirty methods for sure. He is too straight forward

“It's all his fault, Chen Kongyue. I never said that I wanted to take the throne. That guy made it big. If possible, I don't even want to use the Long family name. It is crazy"

The Third Prince finished speaking and walked away. He handed the letter that had the Chen Family Symbol to Chen Kongnan. Chen Kongnan let out a sigh of relief. He wasn't that close to the prince, so he didn't know what his personality was.

“It seems that there are a lot of interesting things happening in the palace. But it's dangerous Father, what should we do next?”

Chen Kongnan looked at Chen Ming. He could feel that the danger was not over. On the other hand, it's even more dangerous. If the people who were attacking Chen Ming weren't the Third Prince and the Crown Prince, then who was the Second Prince? The remaining Fourth Prince was only a few years old. Still can't speak clearly

“Who wants Chen Ming's life?...”
