North Street.

Houses.

In the main hall, dozens of people looked at Hu Fei expectantly, excited and gearing up.

When they swore allegiance to Hu Fei, Hu Fei promised them that one day he would give them a chance to make contributions.

Now, the opportunity has finally come!

"I believe you all already know about the attack on Jiming Mountain. I have just met with His Majesty, and His Majesty has decreed that I will be fully responsible for the suppression of bandits in Jiming Mountain."

"Before departure, I will find a way to transfer you from various places in the army and go to Jiming Mountain with me. As long as you complete this mission, you will be able to stand out in a legitimate way. From now on, no one will dare to look down on you.

people!"

Hu Fei glanced at the faces of everyone present and said decisively.

After listening to Hu Fei's words, the excitement on everyone's faces became more and more obvious, but Qi Yun was still calm. Although this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, it was also accompanied by extreme danger.

"Master Marquis, I heard that the governor led tens of thousands of elite soldiers to search the mountains for several days but could not find these thieves. Can you take us there?"

"Moreover, it is said that the number of spies sent by Beiyuan this time is the largest ever. It is still unknown how many enemies are hidden in Jiming Mountain. If it fails, the consequences may be disastrous."

Qi Yun looked at Hu Fei and asked with a slight frown.

"Are you scared?"

Hu Fei turned to look at Qi Yun and asked in a deep voice.

"No!"

"I don't dare, I'm just... just a little worried..."

Upon hearing this, Qi Yun hurriedly explained, with a worried look on his face.

"If you want to achieve hegemony, you have to be brave. As you said, Li Wenzhong and tens of thousands of people failed to complete the task. This is an opportunity!"

"Maybe there are still many people who think we will fail, but I just want to tell everyone that I will personally chop off the heads of those enemies who intend to destroy the Temple of Meritorious Officers!"

"Then tell all invading enemies that if they want to set foot in the capital, they must first ask my brothers if they agree! Ask if the golden dragon dagger in my hand agrees!"

Hu Fei looked at everyone present, took out the golden dragon dagger in his arms, and said confidently.

After listening to Hu Fei's words, everyone present looked excited and clenched the weapons in their hands.

"We are willing to follow the Marquis until death!"

"I will never give up even if I die!"

Immediately afterwards, everyone clasped their hands and said in unison.

"Okay! After this matter is over, you will soon have a new destination. You will no longer have to hang out at the bottom of the army. You will surely flourish in the future!"

Hu Fei nodded with satisfaction and said loudly.

"Master Hou, what do you mean by this?"

Qi Yun was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but ask.

"Don't ask too much, you will know when the time comes!"

Hu Fei smiled and said meaningfully.

"yes!"

Qi Yun nodded and answered loudly.

After a short stay, Hu Fei took the lead with Chundie, joined Pei Jie who was on guard nearby, and left Minxiang.

After a while, Qi Yun and others walked out of the houses one after another, broke into pieces, and disappeared into the alleyway.

Immediately afterwards, Hu Fei personally went to the capital governor's office and the various armies in the capital to select personnel. While going through the motions, he selected Qi Yun and others one by one. He only gave up after gathering fifty people.

...

Royal Palace.

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

Pang Yuhai slowly walked into the hall and bowed respectfully.

"Your Majesty, Queen Ma and Princess Anqing have arrived and are waiting outside the palace."

Pang Yuhai said respectfully while saluting.

After listening to Pang Yuhai's words, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but frown, and he had roughly guessed something in his mind.

"His Majesty?"

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang did not respond for a long time, Pang Yuhai reminded him in a low voice again.

"Let them come in."

Zhu Yuanzhang came back to his senses, sighed secretly, and said slowly.

Pang Yuhai agreed and hurriedly retreated.

Soon, Queen Ma, accompanied by Princess Anqing, walked quickly into the main hall.

Seeing the worried look on his daughter's face, Zhu Yuanzhang already knew that he had guessed correctly.

"I have met your Majesty."

"My sons and ministers see my father."

The two came closer and saluted Zhu Yuanzhang respectfully.

"No gifts."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said slowly.

Princess Anqing remained silent and gently helped her mother up.

"Your Majesty, I heard that you want to send Hu Fei to Jiming Mountain to suppress the bandits?"

After Queen Ma stood up, she hesitated and asked softly.

"The queen's information is very good. Yes, I have indeed decided to send him, and he has also agreed. He will go to Jiming Mountain early tomorrow morning."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said unhurriedly.

"Your Majesty, I shouldn't have said anything originally, but after all, Hu Fei has just become the consort. Isn't it inappropriate to send him on such a dangerous mission at this time? What should I do if I encounter any danger?"

Queen Ma hesitated for a moment and said softly.

"You should understand that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics! This matter has been decided, and the queen does not need to say anything more."

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said in a deep voice.

Today in the main hall, there had been enough commotion about whether Hu Fei should go to Jiming Mountain, and he really couldn't talk about it calmly.

"There are so many people, why is it him?! I heard that it was Wei Guogong who recommended you. You should know that Wei Guogong has always disliked Brother Fei. Have you ever thought that he might have ulterior motives for doing this?!"

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, Princess Anqing, who was standing next to Queen Ma, could no longer bear it and asked loudly.

"It's not your turn to give advice on matters in the court! I have made my decision, there is no need to say anything more!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned gloomy and he said in a stiff tone.

"I think you don't like Brother Fei either! Like everyone else, you can't stand his dandy habits, let alone his unruliness, so you listened to Wei Guogong's slander and sent him to

Chicken Cing Mountain will send you to death!!"

Perhaps because she was too worried, Princess Anqing suddenly lost control of her emotions, crying and couldn't help shouting loudly.

"Shu'er!"

Upon hearing her daughter's words, Queen Ma's expression changed drastically and she hurriedly warned her, but it was too late.

"presumptuous!"

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly stood up and stared at Princess Anqing coldly, his brows full of anger.

"How dare you talk to me like this for Hu Fei?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang pointed at Princess Anqing and asked angrily.

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

"Shu'er was just in a moment of impatience and did not mean to offend His Majesty. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me!"

When Empress Ma saw something was wrong, she hurriedly bowed and said sincerely.

"Anyway, I've seen it a long time ago. All of you ganged up to bully Brother Fei just because he is the son of the prime minister and the so-called No. 1 dude in the capital, so you all look down on him..."

Princess Anqing looked sad and murmured to herself.

"Shu'er, that's enough."

Empress Ma hurriedly reminded her again that although she couldn't help but feel sorry for her daughter when she saw her appearance, her words just now were indeed a bit harsh.

Seeing his sad daughter, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, sighed helplessly, sat down again, and tried to calm down the anger in his heart.

Princess Anqing seemed to know that nothing could be changed, so she didn't say anything more. She just started to worry about Hu Fei more and more.
