Peking City.

In a wine shop.

Hu Fei stood in front of the window, looking out at the streets with people coming and going, listening to the sound of piano music coming from the wine shop, motionless.

The three jars of wine on the table were still there, and nearly two of them had been drunk by Hu Fei, but he did not feel drunk at all.

Until now, he couldn't even get drunk as he wished, just like the road he was walking on now, he couldn't escape it no matter when or where he was.

"Master, it's getting late. You can't drink any more. It's time to go back."

Watching Hu Fei standing in front of the window for a long time, Pei Jie finally couldn't help but whisper.

"You are also a member of the Qilin Society, right?"

But Hu Fei suddenly turned his back to Pei Jie and said this calmly.

"Master..."

Upon hearing Hu Fei's words, Pei Jie's face changed drastically, he glanced at Hu Fei in surprise, and then he knelt on the ground with a plop.

His reaction was enough to explain everything.

Ye Qing looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. He didn't know why, but since it was something he didn't know, the best way to deal with it was to ignore it and pretend that nothing happened.

"Chun Die, Mu Ping, Dong Yan, they are all too, right? You are all Xiao An's subordinates."

Hu Fei put his hands behind his back and continued to speak calmly.

"Master, I know I was wrong!"

Pei Jie looked at Hu Fei's back nervously and said with a look of self-blame.

"Where did you go wrong?"

Hu Fei remained motionless and asked casually.

When he knew about the existence of the Qilin Society, he thought of how respectful Chundie and Pei Jie were to Xiao An, and how they had been secretly arranged by Hu Weiyong step by step, and he understood everything.

"The young master is right. We are all members of the Qilin Society. We are the dead men arranged by the master to be beside the young master. The reason why we have been hiding this from the young master is because the Qilin Society cannot see the light of the world. If people find out, it will only be used against them.

Master, please forgive me!"

Pei Jie lowered his head and said apologetically.

He knew that since the young master could say the words Qilinhui, he must have known something, so he no longer concealed it.

"Then if my guess is correct, even Xia Chan and Qiu Li, who have never shown their skills, are well-hidden masters, right?"

Hu Fei smiled bitterly and asked lightly.

"The young master's guess is correct. All four of them are the same. They are dead warriors lurking around the young master as maids."

Pei Jie nodded and answered slowly.

After hearing Pei Jie's affirmative answer, Hu Fei couldn't help but smile bitterly. It turned out that there were four beautiful masters hidden around him.

In fact, after Chun Die and Dong Yan showed their skills, he guessed that the other two were also not simple, but because the two never showed their skills, he never delved into this matter.

Over time, except for Chundie who has been following him, the other three women have gradually transformed from dead warriors into independent shopkeepers, taking charge of Hongbin Building, Hanlinxuan and Huifeng Bank for him.

"Will Qilin always be controlled by Xiao An?"

Hu Fei hesitated for a moment and continued to ask.

"That's right, everyone in the Qilin Club has always been following Xiao Shouzun's orders."

Pei Jie nodded and said.

"Then do you know what kind of person he is? What is his origin?"

Hu Fei asked hesitantly.

"I don't know, my subordinates, that Xiao Shouzun always sees the beginning but not the end of the dragon. Especially after we followed the young master, in order to keep the secret of the Qilin Society, we rarely meet with Xiao Shouzun."

Pei Jie shook his head and answered slowly.

"Is it because I don't know, or because I dare not say it?!"

Hu Fei asked, his voice becoming majestic.

"My subordinates really don't know that when we join the Qilin Club, Xiao Shouzun is already in charge of the Qilin Club. There is a distinction between seniority and inferiority. We dare not inquire casually."

Pei Jie looked frightened and replied nervously.

After hearing Pei Jie's answer, Hu Fei couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. He thought he could learn something from Pei Jie's mouth.

Although Ye Qing listened from beginning to end, he never dared to say a word, forcing himself to become deaf and mute.

There are some things that you don't need to inquire about. If he shouldn't know, he shouldn't ask too much. Besides, if Hu Fei said this in front of him, it means that he has complete trust in him, which is enough for him.

"Get up."

"It's time to go back."

After Hu Fei hesitated for a moment, he curled his lips and smiled, said something lightly, turned around and walked out.

Pei Jie agreed, bowed gratefully, stood up slowly, and hurriedly followed with Ye Qing.

In the next few days, in order to allow Chundie's injury to completely recover, Hu Fei chose to stay in Beiping City. He attended banquets at Prince Yan's Mansion every day, and sometimes accompanied King Yan Zhu Di to play in and outside Peiping City.

And Zhu Di seemed to be worried that Hu Fei would be assassinated by Bei Yuan again. He had already ordered Shen An to strengthen the security of the whole city and conduct strict checks on people entering and exiting. He even directly sent people to clear out the Chunfeng Pavilion, leaving only Hu Fei and his party waiting.

.

In addition, heavy troops were sent to guard around Chunfeng Pavilion to fully protect Hu Fei's safety.

This move was not to monitor Hu Fei, but to make Hu Fei understand how much he valued Hu Fei, so as to increase his chances of conquering him in the future.

Although Hu Fei has not returned for a long time, news of his trip to the north has been spread back to the capital.

...

Capital.

Prime Minister's Mansion.

In the study room in the front yard, Qin Hai came quickly and appeared at the door of the study room.

"Sir, news has finally come back from Peiping."

Qin Hai looked at Hu Weiyong who was bowing his head in deep thought and said happily.

"There's news?! How about it?!"

When Hu Weiyong heard this, he immediately became happy and asked impatiently.

"The young master led people deep into the northern border and found the whereabouts of Li Yu and Zhao Quande. Then he led people to break into the Fanyang City Government Office. Not only did he kill Li Yu and the other two, but he also set fire to the government office. He also achieved meritorious service!"

Qin Hai looked at a letter in his hand and said happily.

"Great! I knew from the beginning that he would be able to complete this mission!"

When Hu Weiyong heard this, he stood up excitedly, paced and said with appreciation, with a smile on his face.

"When will they come back?!"

Immediately afterwards, Hu Weiyong asked impatiently.

Upon hearing Hu Weiyong's question, Qin Hai hurriedly lowered his head and looked at the letter again.

"After the young master completed his mission, he was assassinated by Yu Lingji, the top assassin of Chunqiu Hall. Then he was ambushed in Tianyuan Ancient Town and was poisoned?!"

While Qin Hai read the letter, his eyes widened in horror.

"What?!"

When Hu Weiyong heard this, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and his expression froze.

"Master, don't be anxious. The letter mentioned that although the young master's life was hanging by a thread, thanks to Xiao An's arrival, he killed Yu Lingji, saved the young master, and sent the antidote to the young master after Tianyuan Ancient Town! What is happening now

The poison has been cured!"

"But because Chundie was seriously injured while protecting the young master, the young master plans to let Chundie recover from his injuries before returning to Beijing."

Qin Hai waved his hand and hurriedly continued reading the contents of the letter. While reading, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"As long as it's okay, it'll be okay..."

"Why are you gasping for breath!?"

Hu Weiyong patted his chest and said with lingering fear.

"I'm sorry, sir, I was shocked too."

"Also, the letter also mentioned that the young master has... known about the existence of the Qilin Society..."

Qin Hai explained and read out the last sentence in the letter.

Hearing Qin Hai's words, Hu Weiyong was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but frown.

"Give me the letter!"

Hu Weiyong hesitated for a moment and said in a deep voice.
