Chapter 209: Making Peace

Blue Mansion.

In the main hall.

Lan Yu sat on the chair, with a gloomy face and breathing heavily from her nostrils, like an angry ox.

The deputy general who was injured by Hu Fei knelt on one knee in the middle of the main hall, his head lowered with regret on his face.

Others stood on both sides, looking at the angry Lan Yu with solemn expressions.

"General, I realize my mistake. If it weren't for my subordinates, the general would not have lost face in front of that playboy Hu Fei today. Please punish me, general!"

The deputy general lowered his head and said reproachfully.

Everyone present knew that what happened today would soon spread among the officials. By then, the general's dignity would be damaged, and it would even lead to ridicule behind his back.

Lan Yu glared at the deputy general, moved her lips, but stopped talking.

Although everything started because the deputy general made a mistake and almost hit someone, he did not intend to ask the deputy general to apologize to a coachman at the beginning. When it came to responsibility, he could not escape the responsibility.

When she thought that she had lost face because of a little coachman, Lan Yu felt unwilling to accept it, and her clenched fists made a creaking sound.

But now that the matter has come to this, he has nothing to do. After all, judging from the situation at that time, he has no other choice but to let Hu Fei be so domineering in front of him.

"Please punish me, General!"

Seeing Lan Yu's solemn expression, everyone in the hall, except for the deputy general, knelt down on one knee and said with cupped hands.

Seeing the general's anger and anger, they felt uncomfortable.

"Okay! Everyone, get up!"

Lan Yu frowned, waved her hands, and said in a deep voice.

The person who caused him to lose face was Hu Fei. He couldn't help Hu Fei but vent his anger on his subordinates.

"General!?"

Everyone looked at Lan Yu with their hands folded and shouted hesitantly.

"Get up! This is an order!"

Lan Yu's face darkened and she said loudly.

Everyone nodded respectfully, then stood up one after another and helped the injured deputy general up.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps, and a soldier quickly ran into the main hall and saluted Lan Yu.

"Tell the general, there is someone outside asking to see you."

The soldier saluted and said loudly.

"who?!"

Lan Yu asked with a stern face.

"The person who came here called himself Hu Fei, and the carriage he was riding was indeed the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he was accompanied by three people."

Xiao Bing replied hurriedly.

"Who are you bringing with you three people?!"

One of the subordinates heard this and asked loudly.

"Three young people, two boys and one girl."

The soldier replied immediately.

After hearing Xiao Bing's answer, everyone present was stunned, and then all of them had angry looks on their faces, including Lan Yu herself.

They didn't expect that Hu Fei, who was unreasonable and unforgiving, would actually chase him to the Lan Mansion.

"General?!"

Everyone present grasped the weapons at their waists and turned to look at Lan Yu. They all shared the same hatred. It seemed that as long as Lan Yu gave the order, they would immediately rush outside and cut Hu Fei into pieces with a thousand knives.

Seeing such a scene, the soldier was confused and didn't know what was happening.

"Let him in!"

Lan Yu pondered for a moment and said coldly.

"General? Hu Fei is pushing the envelope. As long as the general nods, we will go out and kill him now. If he is investigated, we are willing to bear all the blame!"

One of Lan Yu's men looked at Lan Yu and said excitedly.

"Okay! Everyone, stand down!"

"This general wants to see what he wants to do when he comes here!?"

Lan Yu waved her hand and said in a deep voice.

After listening to Lan Yu's words, all the subordinates looked at each other, released their weapons, and retreated to both sides of the hall. With majestic expressions on their faces, they all turned to look outside.

Not long after, the sound of footsteps was heard, and Hu Fei was seen strolling in the courtyard, slowly walking towards the main hall, with only Chundie behind him.

After seeing Hu Fei from a distance, Lan Yu's face turned gloomy. Her eyes were like two blazing fires, staring at Hu Fei as he walked into the main hall.

"General, are you okay?"

Hu Fei walked into the hall, without even looking at the dozen or so people on the left and right who looked angry, he hugged Lan Yu's fists and asked with a smile.

They were separated for only a few sticks of incense, and his greeting sounded more like a provocation.

"What are you doing here?! Isn't it enough to make such a scene in front of the palace gate?!"

Lan Yu stared at Hu Fei coldly and asked in a deep voice, with veins almost popping out on her neck.

"I'm here to make peace with the general."

Hu Fei smiled and said lightly, completely ignoring the anger of Lan Yu and those on the left and right.

"Make peace?"

"Humph, I'm afraid it's not that simple, right?!"

After hearing Hu Fei's words, Lan Yu was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but snorted coldly.

Outside the palace gate, Hu Fei clearly had the upper hand and stole the show, but he didn't believe that Hu Fei had such good intentions.

"It's true, but there are some things that it would be better for you and me to talk privately. If too many people know about it, it will be detrimental to the general."

Hu Fei smiled, and as he spoke, he walked to a chair on the right and sat down, with a relaxed look on his face, completely ignoring the person standing behind the chair.

You know, if the person behind him wants to kill him, he can put the knife at his waist to his neck with just one move!

Lan Yu looked at Hu Fei, who was a little confused, and frowned slightly. He thought he had read countless people, but at this time, he couldn't see through Hu Fei, and he didn't know what kind of medicine Hu Fei was selling in his gourd.

"Everyone, please step back!"

After hesitating for a moment, Lan Yu waved her hands to her subordinates and said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, everyone hesitated for a moment, turned around and walked out of the main hall one after another, but they did not go far. They all stayed in the courtyard, planning to rush into the main hall immediately if there was anything wrong with the situation.

Chundie, who stayed at the door of the main hall and did not follow Hu Fei, slowly turned around and faced a dozen strong men with weapons in their hands. There was no expression on his face, and there was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

.

"Now it's just you and me. If you have anything to say, just say it!"

In the main hall, Lan Yu looked at Hu Fei and said coldly.

"I know why the general is so hostile to me. It is simply because the general has pledged allegiance to His Highness the Crown Prince and intends to fully support him in becoming the next monarch of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, I do not want anyone around His Highness the Crown Prince who disagrees with your wishes."

"And my friendship with His Highness Prince Yan is no longer a secret in this capital city, so you think that I am trying to get in between His Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness Prince Yan, and that my existence will affect His Highness the Crown Prince's overall situation, so what do you think?

Why do I dislike it? Am I right?"

Hu Fei looked at Lan Yu, with a slight smile on his lips, and said lightly.

After hearing Hu Fei's words, Lan Yu's face clearly flashed with surprise, she frowned slightly, and couldn't help but look at Hu Fei again.

"But what you don't know is that I have a good relationship with His Highness the Crown Prince. He will never want to see friction between the general and me. Do you think that if we are really incompatible, he will protect you?"

Or protect me?"

Hu Fei looked at Lan Yu, suddenly lowered his voice and asked word for word.

After hearing what Hu Fei said, Lan Yu looked solemn again.

He had never thought about this, but now that Hu Fei suddenly asked him, he hesitated, a little unsure of what the answer would be.

Although he was brave and good at fighting and had made countless meritorious deeds, the Ming Dynasty relied on force to build a country, and there were many people who could lead troops in war. However, people like Hu Fei who could remain unscathed after causing trouble in the capital several times were rare in their lives.

At this moment, Lan Yu's heart sank and she was a little overwhelmed.

"Putting all this aside, do you know what will happen if you go too far and want to prove to everyone that you are loyal to His Highness the Crown Prince?!"

"Your Majesty is not old yet, and he will still sit in that chair for a long time. If he suspects that the prince is forming a clique, he will not tolerate it. What will happen to you then, and what will happen to the prince? Have you ever thought about it?!"

Hu Fei stared at Lan Yu's solemn eyes and continued to ask. The faint smile on his face had disappeared, like a heartbroken father looking at his disobedient son.

Hearing Hu Fei's other words, Lan Yu couldn't help but trembled, suddenly woke up, and felt a chill on her back...
