Royal Palace.

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

"What do you want? But it doesn't matter. If it's reasonable and compliant, I will definitely grant it."

After listening to Hu Fei's words, Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated for a moment and said slowly.

Although he expressed his attitude, he left himself a little leeway.

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Hu Fei couldn't help but a smile flashed in his eyes.

"The reason why the Northern Territory group was surrounded by dangers, and fourteen people were killed in the end, is because Beiyuan Chunqiu Hall is much more difficult to deal with than we imagined, and it can be said that there are so many masters,"

"Although the Jin Yiwei are all experts selected from the army, they are relatively weak compared to the killers of Chunqiu Hall, because after all, they are only elites on the battlefield and lack the ability to fight alone."

"Therefore, I hope to attract some people with strong martial arts skills from the martial arts world to join the Jin Yiwei so that we can have an advantage when we compete with Chunqiu Hall in the future and not be stretched too thin."

"My father will one day rule the world, but before that, there will inevitably be constant disputes with surrounding countries. There is Chunqiu Hall in Beiyuan, and other countries may have the same organization, so I believe that it is imperative to improve the combat effectiveness of Jinyiwei.

.”

"This is what I have learned after many battles with Chunqiu Hall. I hope my father will give me your permission."

Hu Fei thought for a moment, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang seriously, and said with emotion.

After listening to Hu Fei's words, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but nodded, stood up slowly, and walked thoughtfully.

Hu Fei was not in a hurry and stood silently, waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang to make the final decision.

After a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was pacing back and forth, finally stopped and turned to look at Hu Fei.

"Okay, I promise you, but since you have to select people from the rivers and lakes to join, you must strictly control them, and you must not join the mob. Once you join the Jinyi Guard, you must strictly obey the orders and abandon the reckless style!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Hu Fei and said seriously.

"Father, don't worry, I understand. I will create a royal guard for my father who will obey orders and prohibitions!"

Hu Fei bowed his hands and said decisively.

"Okay! Don't let me down."

"The trip to the north has lasted for more than two months. You have worked hard. If there is nothing else, please retreat now and go back and have a good rest."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile.

"My son, please retire."

Hu Fei bowed respectfully, then said goodbye to Zhu Yuanzhang, slowly stepped back, and left the Yangxin Hall.

Looking at Hu Fei's leaving figure, Zhu Yuanzhang's face gradually filled with a happy smile.

"Pang Yuhai, inform Xiao An that all the people in the Jianghu recruited by Jinyiwei must be strictly investigated and the details of everyone must be found out."

After hesitating for a moment, Zhu Yuanzhang turned to Pang Yuhai and said in a deep voice.

Pang Yuhai quickly and respectfully agreed and slowly exited the hall.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang valued Hu Fei more and more, he still did not fully trust him in his heart.

Hu Fei also knew this very well.

Throughout the ages, which king has ever completely trusted others?

...

Just when Hu Fei left the Yangxin Hall and was about to leave, he ran into a familiar figure.

Xiao Qi.

"I've met Hou Jiu'an!"

When Xiao Qi saw Hu Fei, he immediately stepped forward to salute and said respectfully.

"Commander Xiao, are you waiting for me?"

Hu Fei smiled, nodded, and asked lightly.

"Marquis Jiu'an has been away from the capital for many days. His Highness the Crown Prince has been thinking about him very much. Knowing that Marquis Jiu'an has entered the palace, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince specially ordered the general to wait here. Please ask Marquis Jiu'an to move to the East Palace."

Xiao Qi cupped his hands and said respectfully.

"Okay, speaking of which, I may not have seen Brother Huang for a long time, so let's go."

Hu Fei smiled, said slowly, and then walked straight towards the East Palace.

Xiao Qi said no more and hurriedly followed.

Not long after, Hu Fei followed Xiao Qi to the East Palace and entered the main hall.

In the main hall, Prince Zhu Biao had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Hu Fei arriving, he unconsciously showed a friendly smile on his face.

"I've met the emperor brother!"

Hu Fei walked closer, raised his hands respectfully and said.

"No need, no need."

Zhu Biao stepped forward quickly, held Hu Fei's arm and said, he really looked like an amiable elder brother.

"Have you met your father?"

After Zhu Biao led Hu Fei to sit down, he asked slowly.

"I've seen it before."

Hu Fei nodded and responded.

"How is it? How is your body recovering?"

Then, Zhu Biao looked at Hu Fei with concern and asked.

"Thank you for your concern, Brother Huang. It's nothing serious anymore."

Hu Fei nodded and replied.

"The northern border is difficult and dangerous. When I heard the news that you were poisoned, I was worried about you. But fortunately, it has been resolved. It's great to be able to return safely."

"If there is another time, we must be more careful and not be as careless as this time."

Zhu Biao looked at Hu Fei seriously and warned carefully.

"Thank you, Emperor Brother, for reminding me. Hu Fei will definitely remember it."

Hu Fei cupped his hands and said.

He suddenly felt that Zhu Biao's attitude towards him was actually closer than before he left Beijing. It was so close that he had doubts and always felt that something was not real.

"Nothing happened on the way back, right?"

Zhu Biao asked slowly while pouring a cup of tea for Hu Fei with his own hands.

Hearing Zhu Biao's words, Hu Fei's heart tightened, and a chill rose up on his back!

Could it be that he already knows about my subjugation of the six chief envoys?!

But then, Hu Fei denied this suspicion, because he did it very covertly, and it was impossible for anyone to know about it so quickly.

And if Zhu Biao really knew, he wouldn't be so polite to him.

After thinking about all this, Hu Fei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the teacup and took a sip, hiding the change in his expression.

"Thank you for your concern, Brother Huang. Nothing special happened, but..."

Hu Fei said thoughtfully while putting down his tea cup.

"But what?"

Zhu Biao hesitated for a moment and asked hurriedly.

"It stands to reason that after I made such a big noise in Fanyang City, the Beiyuan Imperial Court would definitely not give up. However, on the way from Peking to the capital, the killers that Beiyuan was supposed to send never showed up, and the journey was peaceful.

Very.”

Hu Fei frowned and said calmly.

"Wouldn't it be nice not to be assassinated again? Are you still hoping that they will continue to hunt you?"

Zhu Biao smiled and said.

"No, there is such a big commotion. It is impossible for Beiyuan to do nothing. If it were the emperor's brother, and someone killed people and set fires in the government offices of the Ming Dynasty, causing the court to lose face, the emperor's brother would probably sit back and ignore it, pretending that nothing happened.

Didn’t happen?”

Hu Fei shook his head, looked at Zhu Biao seriously and asked.

"Won't."

Zhu Biao shook his head and said with a slightly solemn expression, seeming to have understood the meaning of Hu Fei's words.

"So, I infer that Bei Yuan must be plotting something, so they have been holding back. As for what their conspiracy is, we still have no way of knowing."

Hu Fei frowned and said thoughtfully.

"In this case, you still can't take it lightly. Before you find out, you must be more careful and have more people around you to be prepared."
