Peking City.

Prince Yan's Mansion.

Shen An hurriedly rushed into the palace gate and quickly came to the main hall.

"His Royal Highness King Yan, it's bad, something happened!"

As soon as Shen An entered the main hall, he shouted anxiously.

"Why are you so alarmed?!"

King Yan Zhu Di's face darkened and he asked dissatisfied.

"Nai'er is going to die!"

Shen An looked solemn and blurted out.

"What?!"

"what happened?!"

After hearing Shen An's words, Zhu Di's face suddenly changed and he couldn't help but stand up.

"Early this morning, I sent someone to deliver breakfast to Nai'er Buhua, but as soon as the person who delivered the meal came in, he found that Nai'er Buhua had already died in the room. Judging from the degree of rigor mortis, it should be He was killed after midnight last night, with one knife!"

Shen An replied solemnly.

"Who is so bold!?"

"What clues can be left at the scene!?"

Zhu Di asked in a deep voice with an angry look on his face.

"No, the killer was very careful and didn't leave any traces."

Shen An shook his head and said helplessly.

"Could it be that Beiyuan sent people to sneak into Beiping?"

Zhu Di frowned and said thoughtfully.

"It's very possible, but..."

Shen An just agreed, then stopped talking.

"Nothing, just say what you have to say!"

Zhu Di shouted in a deep voice.

"After discovering that Nai'er Buhua was dead, the general conducted a rigorous search. The guards who were secretly monitoring Nai'er Buhua reported that a suspicious person had appeared nearby last night, but they could not track him down."

"However, that person seems... to be dressed like a royal guard."

Shen An hesitated for a moment and said slowly.

Hearing this, Zhu Di's face instantly became extremely gloomy. If this is really the case, then the person who wants to kill Nai'er Buhua is Hu Fei!

But he couldn't figure out why Hu Fei wanted to kill an old general of the Yuan Dynasty who had obviously surrendered.

"Hu Fei has returned to Peiping, right?"

Zhu Di hesitated for a moment and asked slowly.

"Yes, I just arrived yesterday and have settled in Hong Bin Building."

Shen An nodded and said.

"Pass this message to the king and ask him to come to see me. Don't make this matter public yet."

Zhu Di narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice.

Shen An agreed and immediately turned around and left.

Zhu Di frowned and thought for a moment, a light flashed in his eyes.

...

Half an hour later.

Prince Yan's Mansion.

Hu Fei followed Shen An slowly into the palace.

"My dear brother, you are finally back!"

From a long distance away, Zhu Di smiled and waved, and while talking, he walked quickly towards Hu Fei.

"I've met Fourth Brother!"

Hu Fei smiled and bowed his hands.

"No gifts, no gifts, there is no need for us to be so unfamiliar with each other."

Zhu Di hurriedly stepped forward to support Hu Fei and said with a smile.

"How are you doing, Fourth Brother?"

Hu Fei asked with a smile.

"Very good, eat well and sleep well."

"On the other hand, you, the northern team, have made great achievements, but they must have also experienced a lot of dangers, right? Seeing that you can return safely, fourth brother, I am really happy for you."

Zhu Di smiled, and then said with a worried look.

"Thank you, Fourth Brother, for your concern. But everything has passed. Fortunately, everything is safe."

Hu Fei nodded and said gratefully.

The two of them walked into the main hall together while exchanging pleasantries.

Immediately, Zhu Di ordered someone to make a pot of good tea for Hu Fei, and the two started chatting while drinking. During this period, Zhu Di sighed several times, seeming to deliberately attract Hu Fei's attention.

"Fourth brother is worried?"

A smile flashed in Hu Fei's eyes and he asked lightly.

"Hey, it's nothing, but a strange thing happened last night. You still remember Bei Yuanping Zhang Nai'er Fuhua who surrendered in the Northern Expedition, right?"

Zhu Di sighed, looked at Hu Fei, and asked slowly.

"I sent people to kill him."

As soon as Zhu Di finished speaking, before entering the topic, Hu Fei said straightforwardly.

Hearing Hu Fei's words, Zhu Di was stunned subconsciously, and then his face couldn't help but darken.

"Why?!"

Zhu Di stared into Hu Fei's eyes and asked in a deep voice.

He didn't expect that Hu Fei would recognize him without even saying anything.

"Because he deserves to die."

Hu Fei smiled and said without hesitation.

"Whether he should die or not, it's not your turn to decide, right?!"

When Zhu Di heard this, his face became even more ugly and he said dissatisfied.

"A traitor who betrays his master deserves to die. And as far as I know, this person is born to be rebellious. Sooner or later, he will rebel again!"

"If he can betray Bei Yuan, he can betray me, Daming."

"I heard that Fourth Brother wanted to conquer this person and use it for himself. I did this because I didn't want this person to harm Fourth Brother."

Hu Fei looked at Zhu Di and said seriously.

"Is there any evidence that he will betray Ming in the future?"

Zhu Di frowned and continued to ask.

"No."

Hu Fei answered unabashedly.

Indeed, he had no evidence, but the fact that Nai'er Buhua would rebel in the future was confirmed by history. He could not tell Zhu Di that he had already known about Nai'er Buhua's past and present life.

"Are you really doing this for me?"

Zhu Di looked at Hu Fei and asked word for word.

"Absolutely true."

Hu Fei replied without hesitation.

After hearing Hu Fei's answer, Zhu Di suddenly smiled, his gloomy face instantly turned into a smile, and he shook his head and waved his hands.

"In this case, Fourth Brother will not ask any more questions. If you can always think of me, Fourth Brother, of course, Fourth Brother cannot do anything to embarrass you."

"He is just a surrendered general. If he dies, he will die."

Zhu Di said with a smile.
