Chapter 352 Parting gift(1/2)
Prince Yan's Mansion.
Front yard main hall.
Spring Die, holding the wooden box in his hand, walked out from behind Hu Fei and came to the front of Yan King Zhu Di.
"Fourth brother, I heard from Butler Ge that you are very fond of military chess. My younger brother has brought it here and asked fourth brother to take a look."
Hu Fei smiled and opened the wooden box in Chundie's hand as he spoke.
When the wooden box was opened, Zhu Di saw the military chess in the wooden box at a glance, and his eyes instantly lit up.
"My dear brother, this military chess is now a rare thing among the capital. Everyone only hears about its name but doesn't see the real thing. So this is a military chess?!"
As Zhu Di spoke, he reached out and picked up a chess piece from the box, and said happily.
"Others can live without it, but Fourth Brother can't live without it. I hope Fourth Brother likes it."
Hu Fei smiled, cupped his hands and said.
"I like it, I like it very much! Thank you very much, dear brother!"
"Come on, how about you and I play a few games first?"
Zhu Di nodded happily, and then asked expectantly.
Faced with Zhu Di's warm invitation, Hu Fei agreed without hesitation.
Immediately afterwards, the two played military chess in the main hall, during which Zhu Di kept making sounds of admiration.
Hu Fei didn't hide anything this time, and Zhu Di was defeated after some maneuvers. In terms of leading troops, Hu Fei may not be as good as Zhu Di, but in terms of armies on paper, Zhu Di is no match at all.
After several games in a row, Zhu Di had lost to the point where he doubted his life, but his interest remained undiminished and he became more and more enthusiastic as he played.
Hu Fei had no choice but to keep company, but he was really embarrassed to tell Zhu Di that in his original world, only children could play with this thing.
After a long time, the two finally stopped because Zhu Di was finally willing to surrender and admitted that he was no match for Hu Fei.
“Interesting, interesting!”
While Zhu Di poured a cup of tea for Hu Fei and himself, he nodded frequently and couldn't help but say.
"It's fine that Fourth Brother likes it, but my younger brother didn't give in in the chess game just now. I hope Fourth Brother won't be angry."
Hu Fei smiled and said slowly.
"No, no, you won't even give in to my father, so naturally you won't give in to me either."
Zhu Di smiled bitterly, waved his hand, and said helplessly.
Hu Fei smiled, slowly put the chess pieces and chessboard into the wooden box, and placed them respectfully in front of Zhu Di.
Zhu Di glanced at Ge Yang, who was always standing by the side. Then Ge Yang immediately understood and put away the chess piece.
"There will always be a lot of fun with my good brother again, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to have this kind of fun again in the future."
Zhu Di looked at Hu Fei and said thoughtfully.
"Fourth brother's words are serious, but knowing that fourth brother is leaving, I feel a lot of reluctance in my heart."
Hu Fei raised his hands and said seriously.
"There is no such thing as a feast that lasts forever. There is nothing we can do about it, but sooner or later there will be a day when we get together. I hope that by then, my dear brother, you will not forget that you still have a brother like me."
Zhu Di smiled and said slowly.
"Don't worry, fourth brother. When fourth brother returns to Beijing in the future, my younger brother will definitely go out of the city ten miles to greet him."
Hu Fei looked at Zhu Di and said decisively.
"Okay, your words are enough!"
"Before I say goodbye, I have one more gift to give you!"
Zhu Di nodded and said loudly with joy.
"Is there any gift left to receive?"
Hu Fei smiled and asked expectantly.
Zhu Di smiled without saying a word and winked at Ge Yang at the door.
"come in."
Ge Yang nodded respectfully, turned around and walked out of the door, saying something in a low voice.
Immediately afterwards, a young man in armor followed Ge Yang and slowly walked into the main hall. He had sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, and there was a somewhat dazzling heroic spirit all over his body. His golden armor was shining,
A long knife hung on his waist.
Seeing this young man covered in golden armor, Hu Fei couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart.
"I have met His Highness King Yan!"
"Jiu'an Hou!"
The young man came closer and bowed respectfully to Zhu Di and Hu Fei. His voice was loud and full of energy.
"How about it?"
Zhu Di pointed at the young man in front of him, turned to look at Hu Fei, and asked with a smile.
"This is?"
Hu Fei hesitated for a moment, pointed at the young man, and looked at Zhu Di.
"This is the gift that fourth brother gave you."
Zhu Di said with a smile.
"What fourth brother gave me was a human being?"
Hu Fei asked with a wry smile.
"That's right, don't underestimate him. With him here, he can save your life at critical moments."
"Do you still remember that when fourth brother returned to Beijing, he was assassinated by Beiyuan spies outside the city?"
Zhu Di looked at Hu Fei and said seriously.
"Remember."
Hu Fei nodded and said.
"Speaking of which, if you hadn't taken action last time, Fourth Brother might have been in serious trouble."
"After returning to Beijing, my father selected a group of highly skilled people from the three armies to form the Golden Cavalry Guards. As my fourth brother's bodyguard, they will follow me to Peking."
"I'm leaving Beijing soon, but the one I'm most worried about is you. Now your status is getting higher and higher, but I understand your temperament, and I'm afraid you will offend more people in the future."
"So I plan to select a group of people from the Golden Cavalry Guards to follow you as your personal bodyguards. There are thirteen people in total, all of them are elite soldiers. With them, Fourth Brother can leave the capital with peace of mind.
"
"This is the parting gift from Fourth Brother to you. You won't refuse Fourth Brother's kindness, right?"
Zhu Di looked at Hu Fei and explained seriously.
"My younger brother is really touched that my fourth brother values me so much. It would be disrespectful to refuse."
"But since they were sent by my father to protect Fourth Brother Zhou Quan, and they were given to me, does it really not matter?"
Hu Fei looked at Zhu Di and asked with gratitude.
"It doesn't matter, it's just thirteen people. There are many more around me."
"You are different from me. In this capital, it is enough to have people like them protecting you."
Zhu Di waved his hand and said affirmatively.
"Thank you so much, Fourth Brother. I am very grateful!"
Hu Fei bowed respectfully and said loudly.
"From now on, you will be a member of Jiu'anhou, why don't you be polite?"
Zhu Di turned to look at the young man in golden armor and said in a deep voice.
"My subordinate Ye Qing, please see the Marquis of Jiu'an!"
When the young man heard this, he knelt down on one knee respectfully and said loudly.
"No gifts, no gifts."
Hu Fei smiled and said hurriedly.
"Thank you Jiu'anhou!"
Ye Qing said respectfully and stood up slowly, standing tall and straight, without squinting.
"Okay, please step back first. When Hou Jiu'an leaves, just follow him."
"From now on, the thirteen of you will do your best to protect him. If there is any mistake, I will never let him go leniently!"
Zhu Di looked at the young man, waved his hand, and said with a majestic look.
