Capital.

Hu Mansion.

Front yard study.

A figure in black sneaked into the courtyard quietly and slipped into the study in the blink of an eye.

In the study, Hu Weiyong was dealing with affairs with his head down. When he saw the person coming, he couldn't help but frowned.

"Subordinate, please see Mr. Hu!"

The visitor knelt down and saluted respectfully.

"What happened?!"

Hu Weiyong looked at the visitor and asked in a deep voice, with a solemn expression.

"Reporting to Prime Minister Hu, Xiao Shouzun ordered his subordinates to come and report. Today outside the capital city, the young master accidentally encountered King Yan who was being hunted by Beiyuan spies."

"The situation was critical at that time, and the young master was involved. In order to protect the young master, Xiao Shouzun was forced to personally take action, kill all the killers, and save King Yan by the way."

"However, Xiao Shouzun has asked the young master to claim that he was the one who did it. Now King Yan has determined that the person who saved him is the young master."

The visitor knelt on the ground and said respectfully.

"Can the young master be injured?!"

Hu Weiyong was stunned for a moment and asked hurriedly.

"Reporting to Mr. Hu, the young master is safe and sound and has successfully killed one person."

The visitor continued to answer.

"It seems that I made the right decision to ask Xiao An to teach him martial arts. I didn't expect it to come in handy so quickly."

Hu Weiyong nodded and said slowly, with a smile of relief on his lips.

"Xiao Shouzun said that the young master is a prodigy in martial arts. It's a pity that he has never practiced martial arts since he was a child, otherwise he would have become a true master long ago."

The visitor hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but say.

"The truth has never been to let him fight and kill, otherwise Xiao An would have taught him..."

"Where is King Yan now?"

Hu Weiyong hesitated for a moment, and when he was halfway through speaking, he changed the subject and asked.

"We have entered Beijing and are heading to the palace."

The visitor answered directly.

"I know, go back and tell Xiao An that you must protect the young master in case there are spies lurking in Beiyuan."

Hu Weiyong nodded and said in a deep voice.

The visitor agreed, bowed his hands, and then flashed out of the study and disappeared into the courtyard.

Hu Weiyong leaned back on his chair and glanced outside the door, with a faint smile on his lips.

...

East Palace.

apse.

Xiao Qi quickly walked into the hall and bowed respectfully to Zhu Biao.

"To report to His Highness the Crown Prince, Han Qianshu sent news that His Highness King Yan had returned to the capital from Peiping. However, he was besieged by dozens of killers from the Northern Yuan Dynasty ten miles outside the capital. Fortunately, the city guards and the capital's troops

We arrived in time and His Highness Prince Yan was safe and sound."

Xiao Qi cupped his hands and said respectfully.

"What?!"

"Has King Yan ever been injured?!"

When Zhu Biao heard this, he couldn't help being shocked and couldn't help but ask.

"He was only slightly injured, nothing serious. He should be on his way to the palace at this time."

Xiao Qi shook his head and said slowly.

After hearing Xiao Qi's answer, Zhu Biao breathed a sigh of relief.

"I didn't expect that Beiyuan would dare to send a killer to follow him all the way to the capital. It's so courageous to be so deliberate!"

Zhu Biao frowned and said in a deep voice.

"Your Highness must have never imagined who actually rescued King Yan from the pursuit of dozens of killers."

Xiao Qi hesitated for a moment and said slowly.

"who?!"

Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but ask.

"Hu Fei!"

Xiao Qi looked at Zhu Biao and blurted out.

"What?!"

After hearing Hu Fei's name, Zhu Biao was shocked again. He stood up and looked at Xiao Qi in disbelief.

"Didn't you just say that the people who rescued King Yan were the city guards and the soldiers and horses of the capital?"

Zhu Biao asked doubtfully.

"They did go, but when they arrived, the killers were already dead. Hu Fei claimed that he killed him himself."

Xiao Qi replied slowly.

"He knows martial arts?! How come I don't know that?!"

Zhu Biao said in surprise.

But in fact, not only did he not know about it, but no one in the entire capital knew about it, because he had only recently started to practice it, and he only knew one move, which could only save his life.

"My subordinates don't believe it either, but according to what Han Qianshu said, it was said by King Yan himself at the time. Besides King Yan and Hu Fei, there was only one hard worker at the scene, and all the soldiers guarding King Yan had died in the battle."

Xiao Qi said seriously.

"He actually knows martial arts? And he's a master!?"

Zhu Biao murmured to himself and sat down again, his face full of confusion and surprise.

He never dreamed that Hu Fei was a man of both civil and military skills.

Xiao Qi saw that His Highness the Crown Prince was deep in thought, and without saying anything else, he slowly withdrew.

"How many things are you hiding from me?"

Zhu Biao picked up a copy of Hanlin Daily on the desk, frowned, and murmured to himself.

...

Royal Palace.

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Yan has arrived!"

Pang Yuhai quickly walked into the hall, saluted Zhu Yuanzhang respectfully, and said respectfully.

"Quick announcement!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he couldn't wait to say.

Soon, King Yan Zhu Di walked into the hall and came to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"My son, please see your father!"

Zhu Di bowed respectfully and said.

"Get down quickly, are you seriously injured?"

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and asked with concern on his face. He stood up and walked to Zhu Di to check Zhu Di's injuries.

When the news of Zhu Di's assassination reached the palace, Zhu Yuanzhang was worried about his son, and at the same time he was angry that Beiyuan sent people to assassinate his son.

"Replying to my father, I was only slightly injured and nothing serious."

Zhu Di cupped his hands and said respectfully.

"Bei Yuan's move is really audacious and is seeking death! I have sent an order to the Duke's office, ordering Tang He to leave for Peiping as soon as possible and lead the Peiping army to attack Bei Yuan! Return the favor!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly with a stern face.

"Father, please calm down. The destruction of Beiyuan will not be accomplished in a day. It requires long-term planning. Moreover, the New Year is approaching, so it is not appropriate to use troops. It is not too late to discuss everything after the New Year."

When Zhu Di heard this, he hurriedly said.

"But Beiyuan's move is clearly a provocation to our Ming Dynasty. If we don't respond, I'm afraid they will make further progress!"
