Chapter 205: Unexpected Conflict
Outside the palace gate.
A group of people were confronting Pei Jie and the other two, and the two sides were at war with each other.
"Who are you?! How brave are you! You even dare to block the way of this general!"
"If you don't get out of the way, don't blame me for being rude to you!"
A middle-aged man in military uniform and riding a war horse glared at Pei Jie and the other three who were blocking the way, with a gloomy face and shouted sharply.
This person is none other than Lan Yu who just came out of the palace!
When he was about to leave with his men waiting outside the palace gate after leaving the palace, one of the lieutenants almost bumped into Xiao Wu, who was also waiting for Hu Fei to come out outside the palace gate.
Moreover, instead of apologizing, the deputy general scolded Xiao Wu. Pei Jie and Chun Die were furious for a moment, and then they stepped forward to block each other's way.
But what they didn't know was that the person they were blocking was Lan Yu, who had just had a rift with Hu Fei in the East Palace.
Seeing the conflict, the soldiers guarding the palace gate could not afford to offend either side, so they had to immediately send someone to report to the palace.
"Since I almost hit someone, I should apologize!"
"I don't care who you are, if you're wrong, you're wrong! This road doesn't belong to your family, so why can you just walk away so arrogantly after hitting someone, and hurt them with your words!"
Chundie frowned, looked up at Lan Yu riding on horseback, and said coldly.
"Bold civilian girl! How dare you talk to the general like this? Are you looking for death?!"
The lieutenant who almost bumped into Xiao Wu became angry, pointed at Chundie, and said fiercely, as if he was about to draw his sword.
"Then try it and see who dies, you or me?!"
Chundie gritted her teeth, stared at the man, and said coldly, ready to fight back.
Seeing that Chundie didn't give in, the man cursed secretly and was about to take action.
"stop!"
At this moment, Lan Yu, who was riding a horse, hurriedly shouted to stop.
This is the entrance to the palace. Once something gets serious, the palace will be alarmed. And the year is coming, so you will inevitably be held responsible.
"Girl, since we didn't hit anyone, why do we have to make the matter a big deal?"
"If you insist on making trouble, I, the general, can directly ask the people from the Army and Horse Department in the capital to arrest you, and then you will have to spend the New Year in prison."
Lan Yu stared at Chundie, thought for a moment, and said sternly.
"Are you trying to scare me? If you try to scare me with the troops of the capital, I'm afraid the general will be disappointed!"
"It's true that no one was hit, but your man was rude, so we can't just leave! No matter what, there must be an explanation!"
Chundie stared at Lan Yu, sneered and said.
"Girl, you are forcing this general to attack you!"
Lan Yu looked at the sharp-tongued Spring Butterfly, her face darkened, and she said harshly.
"You can try and see if the people from the Capital Military and Horse Department dare to come and arrest him!"
But at this moment, a cold voice sounded from behind Lan Yu.
Lan Yu was stunned for a moment, turned around and looked around, and then she saw Hu Feizheng slowly walking out of the palace gate while waving his folding fan.
"Master!"
Seeing Hu Fei appear, Chundie and the others' eyes lit up, and they immediately rushed to meet him.
Looking at the sudden appearance of Hu Fei, Lan Yu frowned, and the uncontrollable look of disgust appeared on her face again.
"What's going on? Are you being bullied?"
Hu Fei looked at the three of them and asked calmly.
"Master, we were waiting for you here, and they suddenly rushed over on horseback. If Pei Jie hadn't been quick with his eyesight, Xiao Wu would have been hit by them!"
"But instead of apologizing, they scolded Xiao Wu and hurt others with their words!"
Chundie turned around and glared at Lan Yu and the others, and said dissatisfiedly.
After listening to Chundie's words, Hu Fei turned to look at Lan Yu, with a faint smile on his lips.
"General Lan, I didn't expect to see him again so soon."
"But since your people were at fault first, why did you hurt others with your words? And you also planned to let the people from the Capital Military and Horse Division arrest them?"
Hu Fei looked at Lan Yu, curled his lips, and asked lightly.
"I asked them how could they be so bold? It turns out that they have a master like you. The upper beam is really crooked and the lower beam is crooked!"
Lan Yu snorted coldly, looked at Hu Fei condescendingly, and said disdainfully.
"What did you say!?"
"shut up!"
After listening to Lan Yu's words, Pei Jie and Chun Die were furious at the same time and shouted loudly. Pei Jie was about to take action, but was stopped by Hu Fei.
"I heard that General Lan is a good fighter, but I didn't expect that he is also quite good at talking. Isn't he just relying on his words every time he fights the enemy?"
"Is it just a false name?"
Hu Fei did not show the slightest anger because of Lan Yu's disparagement, but sneered disdainfully, looked at Lan Yu with interest and asked.
After listening to Hu Fei's words, Lan Yu couldn't help but reach out and hold the knife at her waist. Her face was gloomy, and she was about to have an attack.
"But I'm very curious, Master. Today is the first time that you and I have met in Japan, but why are you so hostile to me? Master, where did I offend you?"
Hu Fei looked at the angry Lan Yu, walked with interest, walked to Lan Yu's side blatantly, looked up at Lan Yu, and asked seriously.
At the current distance, if Lan Yu wants to take action, he is already within the attack range!
"Although you and I are meeting each other for the first time today, I have heard your name for a long time. I have always heard that you are a smooth-tongued person who is good at maneuvering. When we meet today, it turns out that the rumors are true!"
"Even if you are known as the God of Poetry, you are still just a playboy, and this cannot be changed no matter what!"
"Don't think that this general doesn't know why you are so courteous in front of His Highness the Crown Prince. I have killed many people on the battlefield who are flattering like you!"
Lan Yu looked at Hu Fei, snorted disdainfully, and said coldly.
"So, General Lan plans to kill me too today?"
After listening to Lan Yu's words, Hu Fei couldn't help laughing, stared into Lan Yu's eyes, and asked directly.
"The annual gift you gave to His Royal Highness is already a capital crime!"
"We, the Ming Dynasty, established our country through military force, but you gave His Highness the Crown Prince a pen. Do you want His Highness to give up martial arts and become a scholar? Do you want him to be like you, obsessed with calligraphy, painting, and poetry all day long?! He is the Ming Dynasty.
Future prince! What are your intentions?!"
Lan Yu stared at Hu Fei and said sternly.
After listening to Lan Yu's words, Hu Fei couldn't help but shook his head, with a wry smile on his face.
"Your imagination is really rich. I just gave you a pen as a new year gift, but you can think of so many things. Could it be that you are the roundworm in my belly?"
"The Ming Dynasty was indeed founded by military force, but have you ever seen any emperor who spent the entire day conducting military campaigns in person? If even His Highness the Prince has to go into battle to kill the enemy, then what's the use of generals like you?!"
"Is it possible that you are all trash?!"
Hu Fei looked at Lan Yu and said with pity.
"shut up!"
Lan Yu's face instantly darkened, she gripped the handle of the knife tightly and shouted sharply.
"Who said you have to give up martial arts and embrace literature when you pick up a pen? To bring peace to the world, both civility and martial arts are indispensable. What do you know?!"
"To say this to a person with strong limbs and a simple mind like you is simply talking to a cow! Don't you want to kill me? OK, I'm the one with the pen. Come and try to kill someone and see if you can kill me!
"
Hu Fei was reluctant, looked at Lan Yu with disdain, pointed at his neck and said.
Listening to Hu Fei's series of scoldings, Lan Yu was already furious, with veins popping out on her hands, but she still didn't dare to draw the sword.
This is the palace gate, and he doesn't dare to take action casually. Once he really kills someone here, it will definitely shock the capital.
Moreover, Hu Fei is the son of the prime minister no matter what, so once he is really killed, the matter will definitely cause a big problem.
"What? You don't dare anymore?"
Looking at the hesitant Lan Yu, Hu Fei couldn't help but shook his head in disappointment and asked.
Lan Yu clenched her teeth, trying her best to suppress the anger in her heart and stay awake.
He had already seen that Hu Fei was deliberately forcing him to do it.
"Although you can be regarded as a competent general, I advise you to keep a low profile. The greater your credit, the more humble you should be. Don't think that you will be arrogant and do whatever you want after you have a little credit. Otherwise, one day, you will harm others.
If you are serious, the nine tribes will be killed!"
"So, I advise you to take care of yourself!"
Hu Fei took two steps back, out of Lan Yu's attack range, looked at Lan Yu whose face was suppressed and turned red, and said lightly.
He was also worried that if Lan Yu was really angered and suddenly took action, he was not sure whether he would be able to escape.
But aside from today's conflict, he still recognized Lan Yu.
After all, he is a person who has made many great contributions to the Ming Dynasty. He hopes that through his reminder, Lan Yu can restrain himself and avoid ending up with a different body and head in the future, as history said.
But perhaps his method was a little too extreme. Lan Yu didn't listen to a word he said, but her hatred for him became deeper and deeper...
