Chapter 414: Deep into the North(1/2)
Chunfengting Inn.
After leaving Prince Yan's Mansion, Hu Fei took the people back to the inn, and then asked Chundie to boil water and take a bath.
The fatigue from traveling all the way disappeared after taking a shower, and my whole body finally felt relaxed.
When Hu Fei walked out of the inner room wearing a bathrobe, he found an extra figure in the room.
Xiao An.
Seeing Hu Fei coming out, Chundie hurriedly stepped forward and poured a cup of hot tea for Hu Fei.
Hu Fei glanced at Xiao An, slowly sat on the chair, couldn't help but shudder, and hurriedly picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
The weather in Peiping was indeed a bit cold, and even he, who was never afraid of winter, couldn't help but shiver.
"Before setting off tomorrow morning, take people to the street to buy some cotton clothes. The weather in this damn place is too cold. I think it will get colder the further north you go."
Hu Fei said calmly while drinking tea.
"yes."
Chundie nodded and agreed respectfully.
"Beiping is not a place to stay for a long time. We should leave as soon as possible."
At this moment, Xiao An, who was standing in front of the window, slowly opened his mouth and said solemnly.
"what have you found?"
Hu Fei squinted his eyes, glanced at Xiao An, and asked lightly.
"You have been under surveillance since the moment you entered Peiping. Now there are spies everywhere outside the inn. They are enemies rather than friends."
Xiao An said in a deep voice.
"Do you know what the number is?"
Hu Fei curled his lips and continued to ask.
"One of the groups is from Beiyuan. It seems that they have already received the news that you will come to the north under the order, and have been waiting for you to come to their door."
Xiao An frowned and said.
"One of the groups? So, there are others who are monitoring me?"
Hu Fei raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile.
"People from Prince Yan's Mansion!"
Xiao An nodded and said in a deep voice.
Hearing Xiao An's words, Chundie, who was standing behind Hu Fei, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
But Hu Fei didn't show any surprise, as if he had expected it.
"guessed."
Hu Fei smiled and said lightly.
"You're not surprised at all? He wasn't so guarded against you in the capital."
Xiao An frowned, looked at Hu Fei and asked.
"That's because before he left Beijing, I was just a mere minister in the Governor's Mansion with no real power. But now that I am the commander of the Imperial Guard, I am no longer what I used to be."
"So, he has begun to be wary of me, worried that I will not be able to be used by him and surrender to the prince."
"But it's okay now."
Hu Fei replied with a smile.
"So you gave him the answer he wanted?"
Xiao An couldn't help but ask.
"I have to give it, because if I don't express my attitude, I may not be able to leave Prince Yan's Mansion alive tonight."
Hu Fei nodded and sneered.
Hearing Hu Fei's words, Xiao An and Chundie were stunned for a moment at the same time, as if they did not expect that the matter would be so serious.
Today at the Prince of Yan's Mansion, Hu Fei accidentally discovered that the King of Yan, Zhu Di, had secretly set up an ambush in the Prince's Mansion. If his answer did not satisfy Zhu Di, I'm afraid Zhu Di would have already killed him!
Shen An's strangeness made Hu Fei pay more attention, so he discovered this.
"How did you answer him?"
Xiao An hesitated for a moment and continued to ask.
At that time, because he was tracking the Beiyuan people who were secretly watching, he was not with Hu Fei, so he didn't know what was happening in the palace.
"It's very simple. I told him that no matter how he and the prince fight for the throne, I will not intervene and no one will help. I will be loyal to whoever becomes the final winner."
Hu Fei smiled and said lightly.
"He was satisfied with your answer?"
Xiao An asked again.
"Maybe, at least now he has lost his intention to kill me."
Hu Fei curled his lips and said lightly.
After hearing Hu Fei's answer, neither Xiao An nor Chundie said anything anymore and left the room one after another.
Hu Fei was sitting on a chair, drinking tea and meditating, with a strange smile on his lips.
He did not tell anyone that in fact, there would be no bloody fight between Zhu Biao and Zhu Di over the throne. It was not because of their deep brotherhood, but because Zhu Biao would eventually die of a serious illness and would have no chance of sitting on the throne.
.
After Zhu Biao's death, Zhu Yuanzhang would try every means to pass the throne to his grandson Zhu Yunwen! Zhu Di was not considered at all!
Therefore, the promise he made to Zhu Di was not really a promise at all, because there was no chance for their brothers to turn against each other.
He promised Zhu Di not to help Zhu Biao, but he didn't promise not to help Zhu Yunzhen!
He is no stranger to coercing the emperor to order the princes!
...
Early the next morning.
Hu Fei got up early and didn't need anyone to call him. He cared more about life and death than anyone else.
"Master Jiu, according to your instructions, we have bought all the cotton-padded clothes for everyone. They are yours."
Chundie slowly walked into the room, placed a snow-white mink coat on the table in front of Hu Fei, and said slowly.
"Isn't it too eye-catching?"
Hu Fei looked at the mink coat, smiled bitterly and said, but he liked it very much.
"I'm sorry Master Jiu, it was Chundie who was negligent. I will change it now."
Chundie was stunned for a moment, realized her mistake, and apologized hastily.
"No need, since the enemy already knows my whereabouts, it doesn't matter whether I keep a low profile or not."
Hu Fei waved his hand and said nonchalantly.
Spring Die nodded and retracted the hand he just extended.
"Are you all ready? It's getting late, it's time to set off."
Hu Fei asked calmly while slowly putting on his mink coat.
"Ready, ready to go at any time."
"By the way, Master Jiu, King Yan sent a man, saying he will be our guide and help us find Tianyuan Ancient Town as soon as possible."
Chundie nodded and said slowly.
"Really? Where is he?"
Hu Fei raised his eyebrows and asked lightly.
"I'll call him."
Chundie said something and hurriedly walked out of the room.
Soon, a middle-aged man slowly walked into the room following Chundie.
"Little Fang Tian, I have met Marquis Jiu'an!"
When the visitor saw Hu Fei, he hurriedly bowed respectfully and said cautiously.
"Did King Yan send you here?"
Hu Fei nodded and asked casually.
"Exactly, His Highness King Yan ordered me to lead the way for you to reach Tianyuan Ancient Town as soon as possible until we can successfully bring you back to Beiping City."
Fang Tian nodded and replied respectfully.
