Chapter 419 Eyeliner(1/2)
Fanyang City.
Inn.
Time flew by, half a day passed in the blink of an eye, and Pei Jie, who had gone out to inquire about the news, finally returned to the inn.
"Master Jiu, Pei Jie is back."
While Hu Fei was resting in the room, Chundie's voice came from outside the door.
Hearing Chundie's words, Hu Fei responded, stood up and opened the door, and then saw Pei Jie appearing outside the door in a dusty state, and Chundie and Ye Qing were also there.
"come in."
Hu Fei glanced at Pei Jie and waved.
The three of them entered Hu Fei's room without hesitation.
"How about it?"
Hu Fei sat on a chair, poured a cup of tea for Pei Jie, and asked lightly.
"Master Jiu, we have found out the news. Li Yu and his two men just arrived in Fanyang City yesterday, and there is no news about leaving the city. They should still be in the city!"
Pei Jie finished speaking with a face of joy, took the tea that Hu Fei poured for him, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.
Hearing Pei Jie's words, the three people present were stunned for a moment, and then a look of relief appeared on their faces.
"Can you find out where the two of them are now?"
Hu Fei looked at Pei Jie and asked hurriedly.
But after hearing Hu Fei's question, Pei Jie shook his head in embarrassment.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Jiu, my subordinates have led people to inquire everywhere, but they still haven't found out the specific whereabouts of these two people, but they must still be in Fanyang City now. According to the description of people who have seen them, they were following Bei Yuan at that time.
People from the imperial court entered Fanyang City!"
"Fanyang City is a border city of Bei Yuan. There are border troops stationed outside and government offices inside to govern them. If they really defect to Bei Yuan, this is the most likely place to stay!"
Pei Jie looked at Hu Fei and said seriously.
"Okay, I got it. Let's take the brothers down to rest and eat something quickly. Thank you for your hard work."
"Now that we know they are in Fanyang City, there is no need to worry, we can always find them!"
Hu Fei nodded, glanced at Pei Jie, and said comfortingly.
Pei Jie agreed, hesitated for a moment, slowly left the room, and took the others to recharge their batteries first.
But Hu Fei's expression became serious after Pei Jie left, and he couldn't help but frown.
"What are Master Jiu worried about?"
Chundie saw the change in Hu Fei's expression and couldn't help but ask.
"If Li Yu and Li Yu are really in this Yangcheng, it means that this is where the Beiyuan Imperial Court and Chunqiu Hall will fight us!"
"I'm afraid it will be difficult to leave safely without going through a bloody battle."
Hu Fei smiled bitterly and said lightly.
After hearing Hu Fei's words, Chundie and Ye Qing were stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but look at each other, their expressions becoming solemn.
Indeed, if Li Yu and Li Yu are the bait, now that the enemy has taken the bait, it means that the enemy is about to launch a full-strength attack!
"Okay, you guys should go and have some rest. There's going to be a tough battle ahead."
Hu Fei smiled, waved his hands and said.
Chundie and Ye Qing nodded, and without saying anything else, they bowed respectfully and slowly exited the room.
But they did not go to rest. As Hu Fei's personal bodyguard, Chundie stood straight at the door from the moment the door closed.
Ye Qing, on the other hand, assembled the Thirteen Golden Cavalry Guards and once again guarded every corner of the inn, ready to deal with incoming enemies at any time.
Hu Fei sat alone in the room, gently wiping Jiu Qianhan in his hand with a handkerchief, frowning slightly.
Jiu Qianhan, who had drank blood, seemed to be even colder than before, with a faint and depressing smell of blood. The dragon pattern on the blade was clearly visible, going around and around, as if it foreshadowed Hu Fei's journey.
of difficulty.
"I hope you can protect me and return to Ming Dynasty safely this time."
Hu Fei muttered to himself while wiping the blade.
Time passed by, and suddenly there was a gentle knock on the door.
"Enter."
Hu Fei came back to his senses, looked up at the door, and said one word lightly.
As the words fell, Chundie opened a crack in the door, revealing half of his face.
"Master Jiu, Senior Xiao has sent word that he wants to meet you."
Chundie looked at Hu Fei and lowered her voice.
Hu Fei hesitated for a moment, then immediately took Jiu Qianhan with him and quickly walked out of the room.
Soon, Hu Fei followed Chundie and left the inn.
Before going out, Ye Qing asked nervously, claiming that he wanted to follow for protection, but Hu Fei made up an excuse and excused himself, and quickly walked out of the inn with only Chundie, leaving Ye Qing who looked at a loss.
green.
Ye Qing's status is special and he cannot know Xiao An's existence yet.
After leaving the inn, under the leadership of Chundie, the two of them made twists and turns on the streets, passing through alleys one after another, and finally came to a hidden private house.
When the two pushed the door open, Hu Fei saw two people standing in the room. One of them was Xiao An, who had been secretly protecting him, and the other was a middle-aged man who was acting suspiciously.
"You're not being followed, are you?"
Xiao An glanced at Chundie and asked in a deep voice.
"Back to Senior Xiao, no."
Chundie cupped her hands and replied respectfully.
Xiao An nodded with satisfaction, turned to look at Hu Fei, and pointed at the middle-aged man beside him.
"He knows where Li Yu and Zhao Quande are."
Xiao An pointed at the middle-aged man and said slowly.
After hearing Xiao An's words, Hu Fei and Chundie couldn't help but their eyes lit up at the same time, and they looked at the middle-aged man in surprise.
"The two people you are looking for just arrived in Fanyang City yesterday and are in the government office. But it is best for you to pretend that you don't know and leave as soon as possible before anyone from the Northern Yuan court notices. If you are too late, you may not be there.
It was so easy to leave!”
The middle-aged man cupped his hands towards Hu Fei and said seriously, with a hint of worry between his eyebrows.
"Who are you? And how did you know?"
Hu Fei looked at the middle-aged man and asked unhurriedly.
"The villain is just a nobody, not worth mentioning. Now he is working as a sinecure in the government office. He just received favor from Senior Xiao, so he came here to deliver this news."
The middle-aged man's expression changed and he answered hesitantly.
"It's not easy for you to know this news and contact us so quickly, isn't it?"
"How can such a person be a nobody?"
Hu Fei curled his lips, stared into the middle-aged man's eyes, and asked lightly.
After hearing Hu Fei's words, the middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, glanced at Xiao An subconsciously, and said nothing.
"You don't need to look at him, I know who you are!"
As Hu Fei spoke, he sat directly on a chair next to him and said confidently.
After hearing what Hu Fei said, Xiao An and the middle-aged man were all stunned for a moment, and looked at Hu Fei in confusion.
"If my guess is correct, your name is Fengji, right?"
"And you came here to deliver the news, you must have been assigned by the old man, right?"
Hu Fei looked at the middle-aged man, spoke again, and said lightly.
"How do you know?! Hu Xiang told you?!"
After hearing what Hu Fei said, Xiao An and the middle-aged man were shocked at the same time. They looked at Hu Fei in disbelief. Xiao An couldn't help but ask in surprise.
"Don't worry about how I know. I also know that he is the old man's spy in the Northern Yuan court."
"Is it right?"
Hu Fei curled his lips and said lightly.
Following Hu Fei's words, Xiao An and the middle-aged man's expressions became more complicated.
If he remembered correctly, many years after the Hu Weiyong case occurred in history, Feng Ji was arrested by the Ming army. In the end, in order to survive, he forged testimony about the exchange of letters between Hu Weiyong and the Northern Yuan Dynasty, which led to him being saved from Lan Yu.
