"Look at the arrow!"

Fang Tianding held the crossbow and aimed at Fang Jie who was charging towards him. He did not waver at all. When the time was right, he suddenly pulled the trigger of the crossbow, and three short arrows shot out like lightning!

"General, be careful!"

Du Wei stayed close to Fang Jie and immediately alerted him when he saw Fang Tianding nock the crossbow bolt.

"Clang, clang!"

Fang Jie reacted almost the instant the crossbow tether sounded. Although he couldn't see exactly where Fang Tianding fired the crossbow bolts, Fang Jie relied on his ability to pinpoint the location by sound and used his halberd to block both arrows!

The third arrow was too close for Fang Jie to block. He could only lean back, turn his head, open his mouth, and bite the arrow with his teeth!

This action is actually very dangerous, because if you don't bite down properly, you could easily lose several teeth. And if the enemy has poisoned the arrow shaft, biting the arrow would be tantamount to suicide.

Fang Jie only dared to use this trick because he was young and had good teeth.

"Pooh!"

Fang Jie took the short arrow out of his mouth and spat forcefully onto the ground!

I was careless. That crossbow bolt was quite powerful. Biting it just now really hurt my teeth!

"Come again!"

Upon seeing that his first crossbow bolt had failed, Fang Tianding immediately reloaded it and prepared to try again.

"Fang Tianding! How many more rounds can you fire?"

Fang Jie continued charging towards Fang Tianding, and the imperial guards could not stop him, bringing the two even closer together!

"Enough to kill you!"

Fang Tianding fired crossbow bolts again, but this time Fang Jie was smarter. He grabbed a soldier and used him as a shield, successfully blocking the bolts!

"Fang Jie! Are you even human? You actually used a soldier to shield yourself from an arrow?"

Seeing this, Fang Tianding spoke up decisively, first morally condemning Fang Jie.

"Hmph, in war, each side serves its own master. Fang Tianding, if anything happens to them, it's all your fault!"

Fang Jie threw the soldier who had shielded him with an arrow away, knocking down several others in the process. Then, he swept his halberd out again, and now the distance between him and Fang Tianding was only a dozen steps!

"Your Highness! Let's go!"

He Conglong, with a shield in one hand and a knife in the other, stood in front of Fang Tianding!

The situation is very bad for Fang Tianding now; he must leave immediately.

"Why should I leave? I am the rightful heir, why would I be afraid of him?"

Fang Tianding resolutely refused to leave. In his eyes, Fang Jie was at most an illegitimate child! He himself was the true prince, so why should Fang Jie leave?!

In a fit of rage, he snatched a gun from a soldier beside him and charged at Fang Jie!

"Your Highness! No!"

He Conglong was dumbfounded when he saw it!

Is the Crown Prince really that aggressive? If you take the initiative in this situation, what am I supposed to do?

Helpless, He Conglong had no choice but to go along with them!

"Well done!"

When Fang Jie saw Fang Tianding taking the initiative to attack, a very pleased expression immediately appeared on his face. Very good, I don't need to go through the trouble of looking for you!

"clang!!"

Fang Tianding thrust his spear forward fiercely, and Fang Jie countered with his halberd. The clang of metal clashing rang out, and at this moment, the advantage of a good weapon became apparent! Fang Tianding's spear was just an ordinary standard-issue long spear, while Fang Jie's halberd had been specially crafted by a master craftsman. With just one forceful impact, Fang Tianding's spearhead immediately tilted!

The enormous recoil force traveled back through the gun barrel to Fang Tianding's hand, and he almost lost his grip on the gun. He could only hold on by his indomitable spirit.

"Cut it off!"

Fang Jie felt that Fang Tianding was alright; his martial arts skills hadn't become too rusty since becoming the crown prince, but they were only passable.

He aimed his halberd at Fang Tianding's spear and slashed down with earth-shattering force. Fang Tianding did not dodge but instead swung his spear to meet it. In the end, Fang Jie managed to cut the spear in half!

"Wow!"

This time, Fang Tianding couldn't hold back and shouted out loud. His spear had been cut in half, and he was in a bad mood; both his hands were numb!

"Come again!"

After breaking his spear, Fang Jie pressed his advantage, taking a step forward and slashing horizontally. At this point, Fang Tianding either had to continue using the broken spear to block the attack or run away as fast as he could.

But at this moment, he suddenly lost his temper and took several quick steps forward to avoid the halberd blade and reach out to grab the shaft of the halberd!

How could Fang Jie miss such a golden opportunity? With a flick of his wrist, he changed his slashing motion to a slap, and the halberd struck Fang Tianding's shoulder with tremendous force! The immense power sent him flying!

"Oh!"

Fortunately, He Conglong was loyal and arrived in time, using his body as a cushion to help Fang Tianding absorb a lot of the force.

"Teacher He? How would you do anything for him? He's capable of killing even his own blood relatives, what else wouldn't he do?"

Fang Jie was somewhat puzzled. The Ming Dynasty was indeed lacking in high-end combat power. He Conglong was quite strong, and it would be best if they could persuade him to surrender.

"General, you are mistaken. No matter what, His Highness the Crown Prince is still the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty. As the commander of the Imperial Guards, I, He Conglong, am naturally obliged to be loyal to him."

He Conglong shielded Fang Tianding's face tightly, not daring to give Fang Jie any chance.

Seeing this, Fang Jie casually put one hand behind his back and made a concealed gesture to Du Wei in the crowd. Upon seeing this, Du Wei, who was already hiding among the soldiers, once again blended deeply into the crowd.

"What kind of crown prince is he? All he thinks about is eliminating dissidents. He doesn't want to do anything practical for the Ming Dynasty. If such a person were to become the emperor of our Ming Dynasty, it would be a disgrace to the Ming Dynasty!"

Fang Jie showed Fang Tianding absolutely no respect. Ever since he married Su Jinniang, Fang Tianding had openly and secretly disliked him, and Fang Jie knew this perfectly well.

"Fang Jie! Shut your mouth! I'm not worthy, but you are? You bastard!"

Perhaps Fang Jie had struck a nerve, because Fang Tianding's counterattack this time was particularly fierce, which was truly unexpected.

"Who do you think you are? Let me tell you, you're just a bastard! A fool who doesn't even know who his own father is! A stupid idiot who was born but not raised or acknowledged!"

"What did you say? Fang Tianding! Who are you calling a bastard, someone whose child is unrecognized?! Explain yourself!"

Clearly, Fang Jie was also furious. His parents died early, and he was raised by Fang La, so he had a deep affection for Fang La. He was also a good playmate of Fang Tianding when they were young.

But he never imagined that Fang Tianding would actually curse his own parents for the sake of the throne! This was truly something that even an uncle could not tolerate!

"Of course it's you! Fang Jie! You think you're your uncle's child? Wrong! Let me tell you! You're my brother!"

"Nonsense! I'm your brother!"

I'm talking about my younger brother! Not my cousin!

"What??"

Fang Tianding's words silenced the battlefield, and the soldiers who heard them all turned around.

Did they mishear? The Crown Prince just said that the General is his younger brother, a blood brother?

Wait a minute, aren't they cousins?

"Impossible! This is impossible!"

Fang Jie's mind suddenly went blank. How could he possibly be Fang Tianding's younger brother? If that were the case, then Fang La would be his father.

"Why is this impossible?"

Fang Tianding is truly going all out; he's willing to use any trick in the book to win!

"Why has my father always protected and cared for you since you were little? Because you are his child! Your aunt was a renowned beauty back then, do you think my father could resist her?! Do you think your uncle died? How did your aunt die?"

Fang Jie was stunned; Fang Tianding's words had a tremendous impact on him.

Seeing his stunned expression, Fang Tianding knew that his move had worked!

Qian Jie's mindset was broken once before. Although he was rebuilt after the break, there are still flaws now.

If he were to discover at this moment that he had been recognizing a thief as his father all these years... it would be inevitable that he would lose focus!

"Fang Jie! My dear brother! Now that you know this secret, you might as well die!"

Fang Tianding grabbed another gun and lunged at the motionless Fang Jie!

Just then, a "whoosh" sound suddenly came from among the soldiers, and a cold light pierced the night, heading straight for Fang Tianding!

"Du Wei is here! Do not harm my general!"
