Prime Minister's Mansion.

Front yard study.

After listening to Hu Weiyong's words, Hu Fei couldn't help but feel helpless and couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.

"You can still laugh?"

Hu Weiyong sighed and asked helplessly.

"Originally, I was just bored, and I happened to discover some clues, so I planned to find out."

"But I didn't expect that there were so many daring things hidden behind Xiong Yi. At that time, it was impossible to sit idly by and ignore it."

"So I continued to investigate and finally revealed the truth. However, I never imagined that the entire Xiong family would be raped and executed."

Hu Fei hesitated for a moment, then shook his head helplessly and said.

Thinking of Zhu Yuanzhang whom he met in the palace not long ago, it seemed that he didn't take the killing of the Xiong family to heart.

An emperor is an emperor after all, and perhaps he has long taken cruelty for granted.

However, it is true that Xiong Yi took the blame for all this, was greedy, and ignored the Xiong family, which led to such a catastrophe.

"I know that you have no personal grudges with Xiong Yi, and everything you do is for the sake of the court and the Ming Dynasty."

"But have you ever thought about whether your repeated miraculous achievements will be considered a good thing in the eyes of others as they are in the eyes of His Majesty?"

"You clearly don't want to stand out, but you have climbed to your current position step by step. Will anyone be suspicious?"

Hu Weiyong looked at Hu Fei and asked seriously.

After hearing Hu Weiyong's words, Hu Fei couldn't help his eyelids twitching and his heart tightened.

Hu Weiyong was right. Nowadays, he has countless pairs of eyes watching him, and anything he does will be magnified. If someone secretly wants to cause trouble, it is really hard to prevent him.

But for him, the arrow was on the string and he had to shoot. He couldn't stop, let alone retreat, he could only continue.

Just like what he said, he is now like a person dancing on the tip of a knife, startling every step of the way.

After listening to Hu Weiyong's worries, he already felt that from now on, not only would he still have to dance on the tip of the knife, but he would also have an extra dance partner, the God of Death!

As for how long this dance can last, we can only leave it to fate.

He also knew very well that he was being suspected, and was not far away from being listed as an enemy that must be eradicated, and it could not be avoided or resolved, it would be a matter of time.

In this case, why should he care?! Only when he has the strength that the enemy cannot shake, can he decide his life or death!

After thinking about all this, Hu Fei pursed his lips and smiled, noncommittal.

"It's better to be more careful in the future, do you understand?"

Hu Weiyong hesitated for a long time, looked at his son, and warned him earnestly.

"I see."

Hu Fei nodded affirmatively and replied with a smile.

After the two talked for a while, Hu Fei stood up to say goodbye and left the Prime Minister's Mansion with Pei Jie and others.

Hu Weiyong stood at the door of the study, with his hands behind his back, his face slightly solemn and thoughtful.

"Protect him! No matter what, make sure he is safe and sound!"

Immediately afterwards, Hu Weiyong muttered to himself.

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure flashed out of the roof like lightning and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

…

Three days later.

Holding an exquisite wooden box, Hu Fei came to the Yangxin Hall again.

After Pang Yuhai made the announcement, he slowly walked into the Yangxin Hall.

"My son, please see your father!"

Hu Fei walked closer, bowed respectfully, and said loudly.

"Let's get married for free."

"What, has the new chess piece been made?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Hu Fei and asked expectantly.

"Back to my father, after three days of hard work and hard work, I have finally developed a new chess piece. Please take a look at it!"

Hu Fei nodded, said loudly, and presented the wooden box with both hands.

"Bring it to me quickly!"

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Pang Yuhai eagerly and urged.

Hu Fei had better develop some weird gadgets. Zhu Yuanzhang has been looking forward to it for a long time.

Pang Yuhai agreed, hurriedly took the wooden box from Hu Fei's hand, presented it to Zhu Yuanzhang, and placed it on the table.

Zhu Yuanzhang opened the wooden box hesitantly, and then showed a blank look on his face, with doubts between his brows.

"What is this?"

As Zhu Yuanzhang asked, he reached out and took out a paper chessboard from the wooden box, and then took out the rectangular chess pieces one by one.

I saw words engraved on each chess piece, including general, deputy general, captain, commander-in-chief, and a series of official titles in the army.

"Military chess!"

Hu Fei smiled and said slowly.

"Military chess?"

"A chess game played by men in the army?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a confused look on his face.

"Your Majesty can understand it this way."

Hu Fei smiled and said slowly.

The new chess he created is exactly the same military chess as backgammon!

It's just that he changed some official positions such as commander, commander, etc. to the current titles in the military.

"How to play this chess game?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the chess pieces and the chessboard and asked puzzledly, his face full of expectation and curiosity.

Hu Fei smiled, and even in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, he arranged the chess pieces one by one and explained how to play military chess.

Listening to Hu Fei's explanation, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes shone and he nodded frequently, very happy.

"Seconds, seconds!"

After listening to Hu Fei's story, Zhu Yuanzhang played another game with Hu Fei. Although he lost to Hu Fei again in confusion, the praise in his heart was once again overwhelming.

"Father, this chess has another wonderful use."

Hu Fei looked at Zhu Yuanzhang who couldn't put it down and said seriously.

"What's the use?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but ask.

"After further study, it may be used for practicing military tactics."

"However, I am not proficient in the art of war, nor do I know how to lead troops to fight. Maybe I can pass it on to the army and let those who know it take a look."

Hu Fei cupped his hands and replied with a smile.

"It makes sense! It makes sense!"

"Pang Yuhai, immediately pass the order and order Wenzhong to come to the palace to see him!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, then looked at Pang Yuhai and said loudly.

Pang Yuhai agreed and immediately sent someone to the Governor's Mansion to convey the order.

"If this method works, you will have made another great contribution!"

Zhu Yuanzhang turned to look at Hu Fei and couldn't help but praise him.

"I only wish to understand my father's generosity. I don't care whether he has done meritorious service or not, and I have never thought about it deliberately."

Hu Fei shook his head and said seriously.

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Yuanzhang began to play military chess with Hu Fei again, and he was immersed in it.

…

East Palace.

In the main hall.

Prince Zhu Biao walked slowly, frowning slightly.
