Deep mountains.

The garrison of the city guard.

In the straw shed, Hu Fei was lying lazily on the straw mat, holding a withered grass root in his mouth, with a contented look on his face.

Now the entire city guard army knows that he saved King Yan while transporting stones, and the news that he is Hu Fei has also spread.

Han Qianshu had already reported to his superiors what Zhu Di said when he left, so before the palace's decree reached the city guard, he was given permission not to work anymore.

Who dares to neglect the son of the prime minister and the friend of King Yan?

Even though Zhu Yuanzhang had previously decreed that he could not take extra care of him, no one dared to instruct him now. Anyone with any brains knew that Hu Fei had made such a great contribution, and it was only a matter of time before he returned to Beijing.

As the only hard laborer who did not escape at that time, Xiao Wu also received special treatment and stayed with Hu Fei. At this time, he was kneeling aside and beating Hu Fei's legs.

"Sir, I really didn't expect that you are the famous god of poetry. It's all because of my stupid eyes that I didn't recognize you."

Xiaowu beat his legs and said with a naive smile.

"Not to mention you, how many people in the entire city guard army can recognize me? Who would have thought that I, the most handsome man in the capital, would one day end up like this?"

"If it weren't for His Majesty's decree, how could the city guards dare to let me work? I almost got whipped before!"

Hu Fei shook his head and said with a wry smile.

"But things are different now. Even if you made mistakes before, you will probably be able to leave soon. Congratulations, sir."

While Xiao Wu was talking, he looked at Hu Fei and stopped talking.

"Yeah, hehe."

Hu Fei nodded, responded, and couldn't help laughing.

After half a month of exhausting work, he finally got through it, but he was also grateful for the hard work of this half month. Without this half month, he would not have learned that trick from Xiao An.

Although he was unwilling to learn martial arts at first, and even felt that what Xiao An taught him every day was lying to him and treating him as a fool. But when he killed the killer instantly with his own hands, he realized that Xiao An did not

Lying, let alone cheating, that trick really works.

It was also at that time that he realized that his skills were already so good. Although he only had one move, it was enough to save his life at the critical moment.

"Sir, you said before that if you return to the capital, you will go and see my mother and father for me. I don't know..."

Xiao Wu looked at Hu Fei and asked tentatively.

"Don't worry, I have never broken my promise."

Hu Fei smiled and said seriously.

"Thank you, sir!"

"At that time, please also ask the young master to send someone to the city guard to inform me of the current situation of my mother and father. I am very grateful. If there is an afterlife, I will definitely repay you like a cow or a horse."

When Xiao Wu heard this, he immediately bowed respectfully to Hu Fei, kowtowed and said.

"Stop it! I'm not dead, why are you praying?!"

Seeing Xiao Wu's actions, Hu Fei hurriedly climbed up, waved his hands and said.

"Young master will not die, I will pray to God to bless you for a long life."

Xiao Wu shook his head and said firmly.

Seeing Xiao Wu's serious look, Hu Fei couldn't help but reveal a smile.

"Do you want to leave here? Go back and see for yourself?"

Hu Fei looked at Xiao Wu and asked calmly.

After hearing Hu Fei's words, Xiao Wu was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"The young master is different from the young master. The young master has a noble status and has now made meritorious service. It will be a matter of time before he leaves here. However, the young master killed someone and is destined to be a prisoner for the rest of his life. I have accepted my fate."

Xiao Wu said with a wry smile.

"As long as you want, I can find a way to take you out of here."

Hu Fei looked at Xiao Wu and said seriously.

"real?!"

Xiao Wu opened his eyes wide in surprise and asked in disbelief.

"When I leave, just follow me and no one will dare to stop you!"

Hu Fei smiled, and as he spoke, he lay down again and picked up the earwax with a withered grass root.

"Thank you, Master! If Master can rescue me, I will be willing to follow you and work as a horse for him!"

Xiaowu looked excited and gratefully began to worship Hu Fei again.

"Stop bowing! If you do, I will send you to the frontier. You will never come back to Beijing in this life!"

Hu Fei frowned and cursed with a smile.

Xiao Wu shrank his neck, stood up hurriedly, and continued to beat Hu Fei's legs, but his face was filled with undisguised joy.

...

An hour later.

While Hu Fei was lying in the thatched hut and soundly asleep, the city guard general came to the hut in person holding the imperial edict he had just received.

"Master, wake up, Master..."

When Xiao Wu saw the city guard general appearing in person, he hurriedly pushed Hu Fei, who was sleeping soundly, and reminded him in a low voice.

"What are you doing!? Master, I was sleeping soundly, and you woke me up just as the good wine and delicious food were served!"

Hu Fei, who was sleeping, slowly opened his eyes, looked up impatiently, and said with a frown.

Then he saw a group of people standing in the hut, each one standing there respectfully, including Han Qianshu.

"Xiong Lin, the lower official, is the commander-in-chief of the city defense army. He has met Mr. Hu."

"I hope you will forgive me for disturbing your dream, but your majesty has sent an imperial edict declaring that your sin has been absolved and ordered you to return to Beijing immediately for an audience."

Xiong Lin, the leader of the city defense army, bowed respectfully to Hu Fei and said slowly.

After listening to Xiong Lin's words, Hu Fei slowly sat up from the straw mat and stretched lazily.

"So I can leave?"

Hu Fei looked at Xiong Lin and asked calmly.

"Young Master can leave at any time. The carriage has been prepared for you. I hope you will forgive me for neglecting you these days."

Xiong Lin nodded and said.

"With His Majesty's will, I can't blame you. Don't worry. Besides, in the past half month, I have gone out early and come back late every day. I have also experienced a lot. At least I have become a lot rougher and thicker. I will do it again in the future."

When you are whipped, you can bear two more blows."

Hu Fei waved his hand and said casually.

But after hearing what Hu Fei said, Xiong Lin couldn't help but shrink his neck, and a trace of panic flashed across his face.

"Young Master, I have never heard of anyone under my command whipping you. Although Your Majesty has given orders, I have already secretly warned your subordinates not to offend you."

Xiong Lin looked at Hu Fei with a wry smile and said.

"Well, you're lucky."

Hu Fei nodded and said.

The meaning of the words seemed to be telling Xiong Lin that it was lucky that he had not been whipped, otherwise he would be in bad luck.

Xiong Lin smiled along with the smiling face and did not dare to say anything more.

"By the way, I'm going to take him with me when I leave."

As Hu Fei spoke, he pointed at Xiao Wu beside him.

"this..."

When Xiong Lin heard this, he was stunned for a moment, showing a trace of embarrassment.

"has a problem?"

Hu Fei frowned, looked at Xiong Lin, and asked in a deep voice.

"Young Master, he is a guilty person, and his status is different from that of the Young Master. If he wants to regain his freedom, His Majesty will need to issue a pardon. Please forgive me for not daring to release him privately."

Xiong Lin hesitated, raised his hands, and said in embarrassment.

After listening to Xiong Lin's words, Hu Fei curled his lips, took out the golden dragon dagger from his arms, and showed it in front of everyone.

"What now?"

Then, Hu Fei stared at Xiong Lin and asked lightly.

Seeing the golden dragon dagger, everyone present was stunned for a moment, and they all saluted respectfully towards the golden dragon dagger.

"Since the young master is carrying the golden dragon dagger, he can naturally take it away, and I dare not stop him. But once His Majesty knows about this, I will..."
