Early that morning, Han Feng set off from Wujian Lake and rushed to the imperial capital.
There was only one person accompanying him, and it was Xiong Tiangang.
This was also Emperor Wu's intention. He did not want Xiong Tiangang to escort Han Feng back to Beijing, although Han Feng did not need protection.
On the way, Xiong Tiangang used the escaping light of a true Yang realm powerhouse to lead Han Feng on the road at an astonishing speed.
Early the next morning, the two of them had rushed from the Wujian Lake station to a post station only a thousand miles away from the imperial capital.
The two stopped here, not to rest, but to see some familiar figures.
In the void of the inn, a ship with the logo of the Qianlan Empire has been waiting here for a long time.
On the ship, the Forbidden Army guards, and three figures stand on the deck, leaning on the railing and looking into the northwest void.
On the left side of the three people is a fat young man wearing a fifth-grade official uniform, who looks like a human-shaped "gourd".
On the right is a tall and handsome young man wearing the uniform of the commander of the imperial army, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes.
In the center of the two was a handsome young man of about eleven or twelve years old.
The three of them looked to the southwest with anticipation in their eyes.
When the three of them saw Xiong Tiangang and Han Feng's escaping light cut through the sky and appear before their eyes, they were all extremely surprised.
"gentlemen!"
"Brother Han!"
"Grandpa!"
…
Xiong Tiangang and Han Feng landed on the ship.
Looking at the visitor, Han Feng couldn't help but smile kindly.
The visitors were none other than the eighth prince Zhu Hongyi, the young prince Chu Baoyu, and Xiong Shangshu's grandson Jun Beixuan.
The three of them learned that Han Feng and his wife were returning to Beijing today, so they met and waited here early.
As soon as he saw Han Feng, Zhu Hongyu couldn't help but rushed forward and took Han Feng's arm.
"gentlemen!"
The little prince's voice trembled slightly, his eyes were already wet, and he couldn't suppress the excitement and surprise in his heart.
The eighth prince grew up in the palace. Due to his background and talent, he had no friends, and even his brothers and sisters were not close to him.
Emperor Wu was busy with government affairs and had no time to take care of him. Only the eldest princess, his aunt, loved him very much.
But since he met Han Feng, he had one more friend, one more teacher, and one more relative.
When he learned that Han Feng was in danger at Wujian Lake, the eighth prince was worried. Regardless of the obstruction, he insisted on going to Wujian Lake with the eldest princess to search for Han Feng's whereabouts, but in the end they found nothing.
For this reason, the Eighth Prince was secretly sad and wanted to cry many times. He remembered that his husband had said, "A man will not shed tears easily", so he tried hard to hold back his tears.
But when he saw Han Feng today, he finally couldn't help crying.
Seeing this, Han Feng reached out and patted his shoulder, giving him a comforting look.
Then he was surprised to find that the Eighth Prince's usual thin body had become much stronger, his young hands had a layer of calluses, and his body's energy and blood were obviously much stronger than before.
Obviously, he kept in mind the words he left to the Eighth Prince, and he was no longer discouraged by his inability to practice, and began to work hard to improve himself.
Han Feng was relieved and nodded secretly.
Then he looked at Chu Baoyu and Jun Beixuan, his two good friends in the imperial capital.
Today, Chu Baoyu is proudly playing with his official uniform and showing off to Han Feng with a wink.
It turned out that not long after Han Feng left the imperial capital and went to Xichuan to take office.
Chu Baoyu was promoted to a bachelor's degree by the master of the academy, replacing Han Feng's official position.
Jun Beixuan, who was on the side, had already reached the moon level and was successfully promoted to one of the orthodox leaders of the Twelve Guards of the Forbidden Army.
Although the changes and improvements between the two of them were not small, when they saw Han Feng coming side by side with Xiong Tiangang, they were both shocked.
Today, Han Feng is wearing the uniform of a second-grade governor-general. He is calm and composed, exuding a hint of the majesty of a strong man inadvertently between his brows, which also makes the two of them feel great pressure.
The opponent's aura is almost as good as Xiong Tiangang's, the two seem to be at the same height!
Then they thought about the legendary deeds of Han Feng they had heard in recent years, and the two of them felt relieved.
After Han Feng left the imperial capital, he first suppressed the rebellion in the northwest and used thunderous means to defeat the rebels.
With their extraordinary status, they even found out that Han Feng personally captured the crown prince and second prince of the Dayan Empire, which was an astonishing feat.
Then, the opponent rushed south to the coastal battlefield, participated in the coastal battlefield, high-level gambling battles, killed nearly Japanese-level experts in succession, made great achievements, and was named the fourth theater guard envoy...!
Han Feng is the creator of these legendary deeds, so his growth is naturally extraordinary.
But after the brief shock, when the three people exchanged pleasantries, each of them "revealed his true colors."
Although Chu Baoyu was dressed in luxurious clothes, he could not hide his wretched temperament. He could not do without women in his three words.
Jun Beixuan had a cold face, seemingly indifferent, but full of gossip, and kept asking Han Feng about his experience of leaving the imperial capital.
The three of them didn't show it on their faces, but they smiled knowingly in their hearts. Although their strength had changed, their friendship and true intentions remained the same.
After a conversation, Xiong Tiangang said: "Master Han, it's getting late, and the court meeting should have ended.
Your Majesty ordered you to enter the palace immediately after returning to the Imperial Capital. Let us rush back to the Imperial Capital immediately. "
"good!"
Han Feng nodded, and Jun Beixuan immediately ordered the imperial army to drive the ship and rush to the imperial capital.
On the way back, Chu Baoyu told Han Feng that Yu Zhangyuan asked him to bring greetings to him.
The other party is the president of the Hanlin Academy and the minister of the Ministry of Etiquette. He is currently busy preparing for the Taoism Conference two days later and has no time to escape to greet him.
In addition, Chu Baoyu also reported to Han Feng the operating conditions of the "Anxiang Pavilion" branch in the imperial capital.
According to what he said, Anxiang Pavilion's "perfume" and "facial mask" were launched in the imperial capital and caused a stir in the aristocratic circle.
Nowadays, all the noble women in the imperial capital are using Anxiang Pavilion's products, and the supply is almost in short supply.
He has even reached a cooperation with the Empire Trading Company and started to put two products on the shelves in trading firms across the empire.
The profit share earned by the Imperial Commercial Bank has been directly transferred to Han Feng's name through his Purple Gold Medal in the commercial bank, and now it has accumulated an astonishing amount.
Hearing this, Han Feng couldn't help but be shocked. He didn't expect that Chu Baoyu was just asked to run the Dark Fragrance Pavilion in the imperial capital, build a bridge with the aristocratic female family members of the imperial capital, and collect intelligence.
Unexpectedly, the other party would use Imperial Commercial Bank to open Anxiang Pavilion into a "national chain". It was really unintentional.
…
Everyone was chatting and reminiscing about old times, but they didn't realize that the ship had arrived at the imperial capital.
Climbing high and looking down at this "giant dragon"-like Qiancheng, Han Feng had no troubles on his face. He got off the ship with everyone and entered from the south gate of the imperial capital.
Under the city gate, a carriage has been waiting.
Han Feng wanted to enter the palace immediately to meet the emperor, so he said goodbye to Xiong Tiangang, Jun Beixuan and Chu Baoyu for the time being, and took a carriage with the eighth prince directly to the imperial city.
On the way to the imperial city, Han Feng asked seemingly casually.
"Your Highness, is the eldest princess still okay?"
The Eighth Prince nodded and said: "Everything is fine with my aunt. When we searched for Mr. Wu in Wujian Lake for several months with no results, my aunt took me back to the imperial capital.
A few days ago, my aunt went to see the old war god of the empire. When her aunt came back, she said she would go into seclusion and practice for a while.
When I learned that my husband was coming back today, I wanted to tell my aunt and come with her to pick him up, but my aunt ordered before retreating that no one should disturb her, so..."
The Eighth Prince looked helpless, but Han Feng on the side still understood most of it.
The eldest princess couldn't find her, so she probably wanted to ask the old God of War to take action, but she returned safely at this time, so the eldest princess could naturally get the news.
And the other party suddenly closed himself up to thank the guests. Obviously, he didn't want to see him.
Before Han Feng could think about it, the carriage had already arrived at the Imperial City. The two of them got off the carriage, verified their identities, and entered the Imperial City.
After numerous reports, Han Feng was summoned by Emperor Wu and entered the Huangji Palace alone, while the Eighth Prince waited outside the palace.
As the palace door closed behind him, Han Feng stepped forward.
Looking up the "Yunlong Stairs" above the main hall, Han Feng saw the majestic and solemn Emperor Wu sitting on the dragon chair, who had not yet changed out of his court uniform, wore a nine-dragon robe and a crown.
Han Feng was shocked and knelt down on one knee.
"My lord, Han Feng, pay homage to Your Majesty!"
