Looking at Jun Beixuan, who was beaten into a pig's head but could still be so energetic, a smile appeared on Han Feng's face.
As for Jun Beixuan, Han Feng had a good impression of him during the trial in the inner sea.
Seeing this person being so frank and forthright today, Han Feng felt that this person was becoming more and more interested in him.
However, Han Feng still looked at Jun Beixuan with some curiosity and said: "By the way, if you don't act as your deputy commander, why do you always run to challenge your commander when nothing happens? You don't have masochistic tendencies, do you?"
Hearing this, Jun Beixuan rolled his eyes and said, "You think I'm sick, and it's not my grandpa's arrangement to go and get beaten when I have nothing to do!"
When Han Feng heard this, he couldn't help but be a little surprised. He knew that Jun Beixuan's grandfather was "Xiong Tiangang", the minister of the Ministry of War of the dynasty. He was a genuine Japanese-level powerful man. Why did the other party arrange this?
After Han Feng asked, Jun Beixuan informed him.
It turned out that because Xiong Shangshu was dissatisfied with his performance in the inner sea trial, all his personal rewards were confiscated.
He also ordered Jun Beixuan to defeat Tao Jun within half a year, and one month later, he would be deducted a reward.
In order to redeem these rewards, Jun Beixuan had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue to challenge Tao Jun.
Although Jun Beixuan is the grandson of Xiong Shangshu, and the Jun family is also a prominent family in the imperial capital, the Qianlan Empire's military has always treated everyone equally, and the requirements for the children of senior military officials are often stricter.
In addition, Xiong Shangshu personally reminded Tao Jun to be more strict with Jun Beixuan, so every time Jun Beixuan challenged him, Tao Jun would not only not let go, but would even attack harder, making him suffer.
After telling his tragic experience, Jun Beixuan looked at Han Feng in surprise and said, "By the way, why did you come to challenge Commander Tao? Aren't you an errand in the Hanlin Academy?"
When Han Feng heard this, he didn't bother to answer Jun Beixuan and directly threw the imperial edict to Jun Beixuan.
Jun Beixuan accepted the imperial decree with confusion and read the list of twelve rewards and the redemption conditions.
He was stunned for a moment, and then his face covered with bruises turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then his body began to tremble slightly uncontrollably.
Although Jun Beixuan tried his best to control it, he finally couldn't help it and laughed to the sky.
"Hahaha... There are people who are worse off than me... Ouch, it hurts...!"
Jun Beixuan was hurt by this smile, which caused several injuries on his body, and he burst into tears from the pain.
Han Feng on the side couldn't help laughing when he saw this, but the pain was even worse.
Chu Baoyu on the side looked at the two people crying and laughing, and he was also a little confused about whether to laugh or cry.
At this moment, there was a sudden noise from the tiles behind the roof.
The three of them turned around in confusion and saw a wooden ladder rising from under the eaves of the turret.
After a while, a young man with a delicate and cute appearance carefully climbed up the wooden ladder to the top of the building. He looked at Han Feng and the other two people, and the young man said with some embarrassment.
"Can I...can I talk to you guys?"
Upon seeing this young man, Jun Beixuan and Chu Baoyu were stunned for a moment, then quickly turned over and saluted.
"I have met His Highness the Eighth Prince!"
"Eighth Prince?"
When Han Feng saw this young man, he immediately recognized him as the child who had helped him when Shangguan Qingfeng attacked him at Wujian Lake.
At that time, Han Feng knew that he was the prince, but now he knew that he was the eighth son of Emperor Wu.
Han Feng also quickly stood up and saluted the young man.
Seeing the three people saluting him, the Eighth Prince seemed a little embarrassed. He blushed slightly and waved his hands repeatedly: "You don't have to do this to me. My name is Zhu Hongyi. You can call me by my name. I... I just want to talk to you."
"Uh...this..."
Jun Beixuan and Chu Baoyu both showed signs of hesitation.
Both of them were born into noble families. Although they were of noble birth, they also attached great importance to "status and ethics". When they saw the arrival of the little prince, they became a little cautious.
On the contrary, Han Feng, although he is gradually integrating into this world, his consciousness is inevitably affected by his previous life.
Seeing the delicate and shy little prince in front of him, who looked a bit like a kid next door, Han Feng immediately waved and said: "Eighth Prince, it's okay, come here, let's sit down and talk together. "
After receiving Han Feng's approval, Zhu Hongyi carefully touched the tiles and approached the crowd with his waist bent.
When Han Feng saw this, he was surprised to find that this respected little prince didn't have any cultivation.
Zhu Hongyi crawled all the way to the three of them, then sat down cross-legged, looked at the three of them, and then at the sky, and couldn't help but rub his hands together, as if he was looking for a topic to talk to the three of them.
But after thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of a suitable opening statement. Zhu Hongyi seemed a little anxious, his fair face began to turn slightly red again, and a small amount of sweat seemed to break out on his forehead.
Finally, he plucked up the courage, reached into his pocket, grabbed two handfuls of things and handed them to the three of them.
"You...do you eat melon seeds?"
"this……"
Seeing the two small handfuls of melon seeds in Zhu Hongyi's hand, Jun Beixuan and Chu Baoyu were stunned again.
The two of them were about to politely refuse, but Han Feng on the side smiled bitterly and said: "Your Highness, I would like to eat it, but I really don't have the strength to peel the melon seeds. How about you peel some for me?"
Hearing Han Feng's words, Jun Beixuan and Chu Baoyu were both shocked, secretly sighing that Han Feng was so courageous that he dared to ask the prince to peel melon seeds for him.
However, when Zhu Hongyi heard this, instead of being angry, his eyes lit up.
As if the decision he had mustered up the courage to make had finally been recognized by others, the corners of his mouth turned up and he nodded happily.
"OK, all right!"
Immediately, Zhu Hongyi put the two handfuls of melon seeds aside and carefully peeled the melon seeds for Han Feng.
Taking this opportunity to get closer to Han Feng, Zhu Hongyi asked curiously: "Han Feng, you had a great fight with Commander Tao just now, you are both so awesome!"
When Han Feng heard this, he smiled bitterly again and said: "Your Highness is overly complimentary. This official is no match for Commander Tao. No, he has been beaten like this."
Seeing Han Feng's injuries all over his body, Zhu Hongyi couldn't help showing sympathy and said: "It doesn't matter. Since you can't beat him, don't fight him next time."
When Han Feng heard this, he waved his hands and said: "How can that be done? The more you can't beat him, the more you have to fight him!"
Zhu Hongyi was puzzled, "Why is this?"
Han Feng lay on his back on the roof, looking at the sunset in the distance, and said casually: "Your Highness, as the saying goes, where there is a will, there is a way. In this world, as long as you have a heart that never gives up, there is no enemy that cannot be defeated."
Han Feng's casual words made Zhu Hongyi stunned. He seemed to be touched by something deep in his heart, and his eyes also shone with a strange light.
At this moment, Jun Beixuan, who was lying on his back, couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
"Well said, by the way, Han Feng, will you come back to challenge tomorrow?"
"Of course!"
"Okay, let's form a team and I'm going to punch Tao Jun a few times in the face!"
Hearing this, Zhu Hongyi also said excitedly: "Then I will come to cheer you up tomorrow too!"
Watching the sun finally set completely in the west, night fell.
Han Feng took a handful of melon seeds peeled by the Eighth Prince and said, "Your Highness, see you tomorrow."
After that, Han Feng and the other two jumped down from the tower together, left the imperial city and returned to their mansion.
Looking at Han Feng's leaving figure, Zhu Hongyi slowly stood up from the roof and looked at the astonishing height below. His body inevitably trembled slightly, but he still tried to make his body straighter.
Then he looked at the night sky again, recalling Han Feng's words in his mind, Zhu Hongyi couldn't help clenching his fists, and his heart seemed to be full of strength again!
"Han Feng is right, nothing is invincible, but I don't believe it. I will be a useless person my whole life!"
