Tianyuan Ancient Town.

Mingtong Inn.

Early the next morning, Pei Jie and the other three gathered again in Hu Fei's upper room and sat at the same table with Hu Fei.

For Pei Jie and Chundie, this was not the first time, but for Ye Qing, it was the first time. He couldn't help but feel a little cautious and only sat on a corner of the chair.

"How's the injury?"

Hu Fei glanced at Pei Jie and asked calmly.

"Don't worry, Lord Jiu, it's nothing serious."

Pei Jie smiled, shook his head, and replied slowly.

"Where is the Golden Horse Guard?"

Hu Fei turned to look at Ye Qing again and continued to ask.

"Back to Master Jiu, two of them are seriously injured. Although they can still walk, they probably won't be able to participate in the battle anymore."

Ye Qing hesitated for a moment and said with a serious expression.

After listening to Ye Qing's words, Hu Fei couldn't help but frown. Even so, they couldn't keep the two seriously injured Golden Cavalry Guards, because if they were left behind, they would probably become the meat of Chunqiu Hall butchered at will.

But if we take them with us, the rest of our trip will be delayed, or at least it will affect our speed of moving forward.

"Master Jiu, why don't we let them go back to Peiping first?"

Ye Qing hesitated for a moment and asked slowly.

"No, they are all seriously injured. If they really want to go back, they will have to send someone to escort them. Our manpower is not enough. If we assign another group of people to escort them back, our combat effectiveness will be weakened."

Before Hu Fei could say anything, Pei Jie on the side asked with a solemn expression.

Hearing Pei Jie's words, Ye Qing looked troubled. This was indeed an issue that could not be ignored.

"I didn't expect Beiyuan to spend such a large amount of money this time. It seems that they are not trying to protect Li Yu and the others, but they are trying to kill Master Jiu!"

Chundie hesitated and said with a frown.

"They just used Li Yu and Li Yu as bait, and then took the opportunity to get rid of me. Killing a Jin Yiwei commander, a famous person in the Ming Dynasty, is much more successful than conquering a mere Cheng Zhengxuan Si in Peiping.

The impact on the Ming Dynasty is also very different!"

Hu Fei curled his lips and said lightly.

"Master Jiu, in my opinion, why don't you take the people back to Beiping City with the wounded first? We will continue to track them and we will definitely bring Li Yu to justice!"

Ye Qing hesitated for a moment, looked at Hu Fei, and said seriously.

Since his life was saved by Hu Fei last night, his feelings towards Hu Fei have completely changed. In addition to gratitude, there is also an added layer of admiration.

"No need. Since the enemy is coming for me, I can't leave now even if I want to. It's better to stay and see what other tricks they can pull off."

Hu Fei shook his head and said with a sneer.

Seeing that his persuasion was fruitless, Ye Qing sighed helplessly, his expression slightly solemn.

"Let's do this, let all the injured people in the Jinyi Guards and the Thirteen Golden Cavalry Guards stay, no matter they are seriously or lightly injured, we will continue to go north to attract the enemy's attention and buy them time to retreat to Beiping City."

Hu Fei thought for a moment and said calmly.

After hearing what Hu Fei said, the three people present looked at each other, and no one said anything more. Although they were helpless, this method seemed to be the most effective method so far.

Ye Qing glanced at Hu Fei, a complicated look flashed in his eyes.

At this moment, the owner of the inn knocked on the door with drinks and food, and slowly walked into the room. He buried his head deeply, and you could clearly feel his nervousness.

After placing the food and wine on the table one by one, the boss didn't dare to say a word, and he shrank his neck and prepared to leave.

"etc."

At this moment, Hu Fei suddenly said something.

"Sir, spare your life!"

Hearing Hu Fei's words, the boss trembled all over, knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

After last night, the boss had already become frightened of Hu Fei and his group. Thinking of his comments about Hu Fei yesterday, he was so frightened that he didn't sleep much all night, and he almost sat curled up until dawn.

If I hadn't been reluctant to leave this store, I might have fled for my life overnight.

"What do you mean? When did I say I wanted to kill you?"

Hu Fei smiled bitterly, looked at the boss, and asked in confusion.

"The villain is ignorant of the truth. I offended the young master yesterday, and I asked the young master to spare the villain's life. I have nothing to do with those killers, and I don't know how they sneaked into my inn.

..”

The boss was still trembling and kneeling on the ground, pleading.

"Get up, I won't embarrass you, but I have something to trouble you with."

Hu Fei waved his hand and said in a deep voice.

"Young master, if you have any orders, just ask, I will do my best!"

The boss raised his head hesitantly, glanced at Hu Fei secretly, and said decisively.

"Help us find two carriages."

"This is silver."

As Hu Fei spoke, he took out a piece of silver from his pocket and placed it on the table.

"No problem! Just wait, I'll go right away!"

"There is no need for money, and the money for your hotel and food and drinks is also free. I will treat you as a humble person who respects you!"

The boss agreed, waved his hands, and hurriedly ran out of the room.

Looking at the panicked back of the boss, Hu Fei shook his head and put away the money with a wry smile.

Since the boss is so generous, he won't be polite, and he knows that if he insists on paying, the boss may not be able to sleep well for the next month.

After a long time, everyone had breakfast. Chundie filled a bottle of wine for Hu Fei. After packing everything, they left the inn and continued north.

But this time, the original thirty-six people had become twenty-seven. In addition to the three Jinyi guards who died in the battle, there were also three injured Jinqi guards. The three Jinyi guards carried the two carriages towards Peiping.

City returns.

The streets of the entire ancient town went from being bustling with activity yesterday to dead silence, with not a single soul visible on the entire street.

In this way, Hu Fei took the remaining people and continued towards the territory of Beiyuan.

...

Seven days later.

Fanyang City.

Hu Fei and his party pursued them for seven days and arrived at the third city of the Northern Yuan Dynasty that they passed along the way, but they still could not trace any trace of Li Yu and the two men along the way.

After entering the city, as before, everyone first found an inn and settled down. Then Hu Fei sent Pei Jie to take people to the street again to find out the whereabouts of Li Yu and the other two.

However, since there were only fifteen Jinyi Guards left, including Pei Jie and Qi Yun, Ye Qing sent three Jinqi Guards to assist.

When Hu Fei originally left the capital, he brought thirteen Golden Cavalry Guards, including Ye Qing, and twenty-one Golden Cavalry Guards, including Pei Jie, but now, there are only ten Golden Cavalry Guards left.

There are only fifteen Jinyiwei left, and with the addition of one Spring Die, there is a serious shortage of manpower.

As we go deeper and deeper into the hinterland of Beiyuan, if the enemy sends more killers, they may be more difficult to deal with than last time.

No matter how you look at it, this trip is more like an adventure with no hope of safe escape!

After settling in, Hu Fei asked Chundie to say hello to the store, prepare some meals, and after running all the way, everyone was tired. Pei Jie even took people out to find out the news before taking a good rest. Indeed,

It was a bit difficult for him.

Chun Die and Ye Qing stood aside respectfully, while the remaining Thirteen Golden Cavalry Guards stood guard outside the room, closely monitoring everything around them.

"Master Jiu, we can't pursue him any longer. If we continue to pursue him, we will only sink him deeper and deeper. When the time comes, it will not be so easy to leave Beiyuan territory."

Ye Qing looked at Hu Fei, hesitated for a moment, and said seriously.

Hu Fei said nothing, frowned and took a sip of tea.

He knew that what Ye Qing said made sense. If the enemy was really determined to kill him, and if they fell deeper, even if Xiao An was there, they would probably lose their lives here.

No one cares about his own life more than him. To this day, he is working hard just to stay alive and cannot really die in this foreign country.

"Okay, if Fanyang City still can't find them, we will evacuate!"

Hu Fei hesitated for a moment, then nodded and replied.

Hearing Hu Fei's answer, Ye Qing and Chundie finally breathed a sigh of relief. Along the way, they had tried to persuade Hu Fei more than once, but Hu Fei always insisted.

In fact, Hu Fei didn't want to, because he knew what he would face when he returned to the capital once he failed to complete the task assigned to him by Zhu Yuanzhang. First of all, those who couldn't stand his current high position would not let him go.

I won't let go of this matter.

But now, he can only make this decision. I hope Pei Jie and the others can bring back some good news...
