Chapter 374: Zhu Yuanzhang's Curiosity and Appreciation
Royal Palace.
The Hall of Nourishing Heart.
Soon, Grand Governor Li Wenzhong slowly walked into the hall accompanied by Pang Yuhai.
"My son, please see your father!"
Li Wenzhong came closer and bowed respectfully to Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Free of charge!"
With a smile on his face, Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly waved his hands and said with a smile.
Li Wenzhong agreed and stood up slowly.
"How is Hu Fei's injury? I have sent an imperial doctor to treat him. Is it serious?"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Li Wenzhong and asked with concern.
"Back to my father, after a day and night of recuperation, Jiu'an Hou's injury has improved. I have sent him back to the princess's mansion first. The imperial doctors should have started diagnosis and treatment by now. I think it will be OK. He will rest for a while.
Time will heal.”
Li Wenzhong cupped his hands and said slowly.
"That's good, that's good."
"Tell me quickly, what happened on Jiming Mountain, and how did Hu Fei do it?"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, then looked at Li Wenzhong with shining eyes and asked.
So Li Wenzhong recounted everything he saw and heard on Jiming Mountain one by one. However, when it came to the scene where Hu Fei fought against more than a hundred killers from Beiyuan, he could only introduce it in a few words because he was not there at the time.
At the scene, it is always time to listen to some details heard when others talk about it.
"Did he really fend off the attacks of more than a hundred Beiyuan spies with only the Thirteen Golden Cavalry Guards and the 20 people who inspected the school? He even personally beheaded one of the masters of Chunqiu Hall?"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Li Wenzhong in disbelief and asked in surprise.
In his impression, Zi Zi never cared about the fifty soldiers, including Qi Yun, and felt that those fifty soldiers alone were not enough to affect the entire battle. Little did he know that every one of Hu Fei's plans
Everyone is very important and cannot exist without one.
"Although Er Chen didn't see it with his own eyes, this is the fact. Er Chen thought he was a bit too much at first, but he didn't expect that he actually completed the mission without relying on Er Chen's soldiers. Although he suffered a lot,
He was seriously injured, but he successfully resolved the difficulties in Jiming Mountain."
Li Wenzhong nodded and said seriously.
"It seems that we underestimated him before. Unexpectedly, he is not only proficient in merchants, good at dancing, writing and poetry, but also good at leading troops! He is indeed an all-rounder!"
After listening to Li Wenzhong's report, Zhu Yuanzhang said meaningfully while stroking his beard, his eyebrows full of approval.
"Yeah, he always seems to make everyone stunned. There seems to be nothing he can't do."
Li Wenzhong nodded and couldn't help but said.
"It seems that Wei Guogong was right this time. If he hadn't recommended Hu Fei, the difficulties in Jiming Mountain would not have been resolved so quickly."
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said with satisfaction.
But after hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Li Wenzhong did not comment, because he knew best that there must be other reasons why Duke Wei did this, at least he did not really hope that Hu Fei could solve the problem of Jiming Mountain.
And at the beginning, no one believed that Hu Fei could do it.
"By the way, Father, we originally captured two Beiyuan spies in Jiming Mountain, but after the interrogation, the Marquis of Jiu'an killed them both, and had their heads hung when they returned to the city.
On top of the city, he threatened that any enemy who dared to set foot in the capital in the future would never come back."
"It stands to reason that those two people should be escorted back to the capital and tried by the Ministry of Punishment."
Li Wenzhong hesitated for a moment and then told what happened at the city gate today.
"It doesn't matter, they are just two insignificant people. If you kill them, you will kill them. This incident can also be used to warn Beiyuan and surrounding countries that our Ming capital is not a place that anyone can violate at will!"
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said with a nonchalant expression, his approval of Hu Fei deepening in his heart.
Li Wenzhong nodded and said nothing more.
Next, after Zhu Yuanzhang asked a few more casual questions, he asked Li Wenzhong to go back to rest first. After all, Li Wenzhong was also very tired during this period.
As soon as Li Wenzhong left, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Pang Yuhai to summon the school inspection commander Han Jiang into the Yangxin Hall.
"Han Jiang, a humble minister, comes to see His Majesty!"
Han Jiang quickly walked into the hall and bowed respectfully.
"Get flat."
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his hand and signaled Han Jiang to get up.
After Han Jiang bowed his hands in a salute, he slowly stood up and stood below with a respectful look on his face, without taking the initiative to speak.
"Han Jiang, did Hu Fei really kill more than a hundred Beiyuan spies just by relying on your inspection team and the Thirteen Golden Cavalry Guards? Without the help of a single soldier from the army?"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Han Jiang and asked for confirmation again, as if this point was extremely important to him.
"To avoid it, after the arrival of Marquis Jiu'an, he ordered the city guards and the governor to lead their troops to evacuate Jiming Mountain. They were only allowed to intercept at the foot of the mountain and did not participate in killing the enemy."
Han Jiang nodded and said affirmatively.
After listening to Han Jiang's answer, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but reveal a knowing smile, and now he completely believed this fact.
"But Your Majesty, the Marquis of Jiu'an not only relied on the inspection team and the Thirteen Golden Cavalry Guards, but also the fifty soldiers he selected from the army. Before the enemy showed up, the Marquis of Jiu'an had secretly let those fifty people lurk in the
Around the Temple of Heroes."
"At that time, the Chunqiu Hall master suddenly attacked Jiu'an Hou. Jiu'an Hou was seriously injured in the fight, but he also wounded the Chunqiu Hall master when he was injured!"
"Then the fifty soldiers appeared with strong crossbows in their hands, forming a pincer attack with us, causing the enemy to be in chaos and scurrying away. It can be said that if the fifty soldiers hadn't suddenly appeared, perhaps we would have been at the end of our crossbows.
I’m afraid I can’t resist it, and the outcome is unpredictable.”
Han Jiang recalled the situation at that time and couldn't help but say.
"You mean, Hu Fei actually turned the tide of the battle with those fifty soldiers?!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment and asked in surprise.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, it is indeed true. The situation was critical at that time. If Marquis Jiu'an had not made arrangements in advance, the outcome might have been unpredictable."
"Then Marquis Jiu'an ordered us to pursue him, but the enemy was cunning. Wei Chen and the Thirteen Golden Cavalry Guards never tracked them down. Finally, they found the people left behind at the foot of Marquis Jiu'an on a cliff."
"Only then did I know that Marquis Jiu'an also led people to pursue him, and had found the enemy's hiding place, killed all the enemies, and captured two alive."
"However, at that time, Marquis Jiu'an was already in a coma due to serious injuries. We worked together to transport Marquis Jiu'an out from under the cliff and then returned to the base. After receiving the news, the Grand Governor also rushed back to the base with his people."
Han Jiang hesitated for a moment and then said clearly.
"Can you see the duel between Hu Fei and that Chunqiu Hall master?"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Han Jiang with interest and continued to ask.
"Your Majesty, no, but when we found the body, we found that the golden dragon dagger had been inserted into the man's chest. And according to the soldiers who followed Jiu'an Hou into the cave at that time, the battle situation at that time was incomparable.
It was so intense that Jiu'an Hou fell into a coma due to exhaustion."
Han Jiang shook his head and explained seriously.
After listening to Han Jiang's story, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction, and his praise for Hu Fei in his heart was hard to express for a moment.
He did not expect that Hu Fei's mission this time could be completed so beautifully. Although it was thrilling and even narrowly missed death, the result was what he wanted to see most.
"Okay, you've worked hard, go back and rest."
Then, Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said with a smile.
Han Jiang agreed, bowed respectfully, and slowly stepped back.
The moment he walked out of the Yangxin Hall, Han Jiang couldn't help but let out a long breath and frowned slightly.
He didn't say a lot of things just now, because there were many doubts hidden in his heart that could not be explained or even had no answers.
As a habit, he checked the wounds of those people and confirmed that all of them were killed by one move, and it was definitely done by a top master. He was not sure if that top master was Hu Fei.
However, he did see the scene where Hu Fei injured the Chunqiu Hall master in front of the Heroes' Temple, and knew that if it were him, he might not be able to do it.
But he always felt that there seemed to be another terrifying master hidden in the secret, who was inseparable from Hu Fei. This reminded him of the old man in black robe who had subdued him with just one move in the school inspection office last time.
!
But he had no evidence, so he didn't dare to make any rash assertions, let alone tell Zhu Yuanzhang, because if he couldn't prove it, even if Zhu Yuanzhang could spare him, Hu Fei and the master hiding in the secret would not let him go!
Moreover, before leaving Beijing, he had been vaguely aware of Hu Fei's murderous intention towards him. Although he was not sure, he would never dare to risk it again and let it become true.
If it comes true, not only will Yunqi's affairs be revealed, but he himself will really be doomed!
Therefore, in the main hall just now, he didn't say a word that he shouldn't have said...
Chapter completed!
