Capital.

Royal Palace.

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

Pang Yuhai hurriedly rushed into the hall and saluted Zhu Yuanzhang in a panic.

"Your Majesty, Tang Duo, Minister of War, is here to see you! Something happened in the northern border!"

Pang Yuhai said anxiously while saluting.

After hearing Pang Yuhai's words, Zhu Yuanzhang's expression changed drastically and he immediately ordered Tang Duo to see him.

"Weak minister Tang Duo, please see Your Majesty!"

Tang Duo walked in quickly and bowed respectfully.

"What happened?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Tang Duo and asked loudly.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, news has just come from the northern border. The army led by Wei Guogong has been chasing the remnant army of the Northern Yuan Dynasty all the way. They have conquered ten cities in a row. They are unstoppable!"

"But the Chunqiu Tang killer suddenly appeared and killed dozens of generals in our army overnight, causing chaos in our army. Wei Guogong was also assassinated and almost died!"

Tang Duo cupped his hands and said with a pale face.

After hearing Tang Duo's words, Zhu Yuanzhang's expression instantly stiffened and his eyes widened in disbelief.

In just a few days, I didn't expect that the situation had changed so significantly.

He never expected that a small Chunqiu Hall could change the situation of the battle so easily. It seems that the person behind it is definitely not a good person!

"Wei Guogong sincerely requests your majesty to send suitable candidates to the northern border as soon as possible to fill the manpower and restore the army's combat strength."

"This is the battle report, your Majesty, please take a look at it!"

Tang Duo said, reached out and took out a battle report from his arms, and presented it with both hands.

Upon seeing this, Pang Yuhai stepped forward to take the battle report and respectfully sent it to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the battle report, his face became more and more solemn.

No one could have imagined how the war situation has evolved so far.

"Pang Yuhai, convey my decree and announce that Hu Fei has come to the palace to pay his respects!"

Then, Zhu Yuanzhang looked up at Pang Yuhai and said loudly.

When he wanted to deal with the Chunqiu Hall killer, he immediately thought of Hu Fei.

Pang Yuhai agreed and immediately sent people out of the palace to the princess' mansion!

...

Princess Mansion.

Front yard study.

At this time, Hu Fei had also received the information from the front line, and his face was slightly solemn.

Although this was the opportunity he had been waiting for, when he saw in the intelligence that dozens of generals in the Ming army had been killed, he couldn't help but look down on it.

It was by no means an easy task for Chun Qiu Tang to assassinate so many Ming army generals in one night.

"Master, are we going to the north soon?"

Chundie, who was standing behind Hu Fei, asked with a solemn expression.

The last trip to the North was still fresh in her memory, because the young master almost didn't come back alive last time, and the North was an extremely dangerous place for them.

"It should be soon, but this is also the opportunity I have been waiting for!"

Hu Fei nodded and said lightly.

The contest between him and Chunqiu Hall was about to begin again.

At this moment, Ye Qing appeared at the door.

"Young Master, someone from the palace has sent word that Your Majesty has something urgent to see you. Please rush to the Yangxin Palace as soon as possible!"

Ye Qing bowed his hands and said loudly.

coming!

Hu Fei squinted his eyes, closed the information, and without a moment's hesitation, stood up and walked out.

...

Royal Palace.

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

"My son, please see your father!"

Hu Fei entered the palace without stopping, went straight into the Yangxin Hall, and bowed respectfully to the solemn-looking Zhu Yuanzhang.

Seeing Tang Duo standing aside with a slightly pale face, he knew that the battle report from the northern border had arrived.

"Hu Fei, do you already know about the northern border?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Hu Fei and asked in a deep voice.

"I wonder what Father is referring to?"

Hu Fei looked confused and asked in confusion.

"An urgent report has just come from the northern border. Chunqiu Hall has sent a large number of killers to assassinate our army's lieutenant general!"

"Overnight, dozens of generals were stabbed to death at the same time, and even Wei Guogong was almost killed by the enemy!"

Zhu Yuanzhang clenched his fists and said through gritted teeth.

"What?!"

When Hu Fei heard this, he immediately pretended to be extremely shocked and opened his eyes wide in disbelief.

"you do not know?"

Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated for a moment, looked at Hu Fei doubtfully and asked.

"Replying to my father, I really don't know. I think it's because the incident happened suddenly and the information is still on the way back to Beijing."

Hu Fei nodded, raised his hands, and said seriously.

"I see."

"But this is not important. What is important is that there has been a sudden change in the Northern Territory and we are in urgent need of support. I hope you will go to the Northern Territory in person and lead the Jinyi Guards to deal with Chunqiu Tang!"

"In addition, I will send people to select suitable people to go to the north with you to take over important positions in the army and reorganize the army!"

Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated for a moment and said loudly.

"My son, I obey!"

Upon hearing this, Hu Fei cupped his hands without hesitation and said loudly.

"Okay, in that case, you should go back and prepare now. The mission of this trip is difficult, don't let me down!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Hu Fei and said meaningfully.

"Father, don't worry, I will do my best!"

"But my father, before my son arrives in the north, I hope that my father will send someone to tell Duke Wei immediately that Chun Qiu Tang can kill dozens of generals in my army in one night. He must be extremely familiar with our army!"

"The only explanation is that the enemy has long been mixed with our army, or there is a second possibility. There has always been a Beiyuan spy in our army. I hope Wei Guogong will find out the matter as soon as possible and eliminate the traitor!"

Hu Fei raised his hand and agreed, then changed the subject and said.

"It makes sense! Tang Duo, immediately send someone to report this matter to Xu Da!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his eyes lit up and he hurriedly spoke loudly.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Tang Duo immediately agreed with his hands raised.

"Also, where are the candidates your Majesty will send to the north to take over? If you want to go with your ministers, it would be too troublesome to pick them up one by one. It is better to let them go to Beiping separately and meet up with your ministers in Beiping City. Then we can meet again.

Let’s enter the North together!”

Immediately afterwards, Hu Fei spoke again.

"That's right! It makes sense!"

"Tang Duo, did you hear that? Go back immediately to approve the candidates and inform them to rush to Beiping City to meet Fei'er!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded frequently and immediately told Tang Duo.

Subconsciously, without even realizing it, he had already called Hu Fei Fei'er.

Tang Duo agreed and immediately returned to the military headquarters.

"Father, my ministers have also retired first. After preparations are made, they will set off directly to the northern border."
