Bai Zhi nodded her head: “Not only stay, but he is now into hiding. I’m afraid it has a connection with you.”
Bai Zhi then narrated Zhao Sue’s words to Hu Feng. When Hu Feng heard the Black Battalion, he suddenly realized it.
“It turned out he is from the Black Battalion camp, General Fu of Black Battalion is my confidant. After I had an accident, why will those people let them go? No wonder Awu live like a fugitive. He is lucky though, at least he escaped. I don’t know how many brothers of mine died in the camp. I don’t know whether their loved ones or family are still alive or not.”
The veins on Hu Feng’s hand that was holding the hammer almost burst. His cold eyes were filled with anger.
When it comes to General Fu Zheng, he was feeling guilty. Fu Zheng was very loyal to him. He has always been a good assistant in the army. He promised Fu Zheng that when they returned to the capital, he will help find him a good girl to marry. He can get married and start the first branch of the Fu Family.
But he didn’t do it, he couldn’t even protect their lives.

Awu came back riding a horse, he went to the town to help Hu Feng picked up his weapons. A few days ago, Hu Feng ordered two swords in the blacksmith shop in the town. Today was the agreed day of picking up the swords. Awu needs to buy some things, so he simply said he will pick them, which can save them time from running a trip. When Awu came back, it was already late in the afternoon. Hu Feng had a habit of taking a nap during this time, but today, he didn’t do it. He sat in the roomnot knowing what to think. When he heard the hissing sound of the horse, he stood up and went out of the room.
Awu was holding two swords in his left hand while holding a big bag on the right hand. Seeing Hu Feng looking at him at the door, he grinned immediately and said: “Are you worried that I might forget to pick up the swords? Rest assured, I didn’t forget it, they’re here.”
Hu Feng didn’t make a sound, his pair of eyes were fixed on Awu’s face. Seeing the scar on his face, he felt like his heart was being stabbed by needles.
Awu walked into the house and put down the things in his hand, then he cheerfully said: “Why did you buy two swords? Are you going to use both of them? But it’s not good. If you use two swords you’ll get a hard time. This sword is a bit long. And this kind of sword should be used alone with one hand.”
Hu Feng turned and said to Awu: “Come with me, I have something to ask you.”
Hu Feng went straight back to his room, and Awu froze on the spot. Why his face looked so strange? What happened?
After he put things down, Awu followed Hu Feng into the room and closed the door. Hu Feng walked to the window and turned to face Awu. He was standing against the light, so Awu couldn’t see the expression on his face, but he could see Awu’s face.
He stared at Awu’s eyes and asked word by word: “Have you ever been in the Black Battalion Camp?”
Awu’s facial expression slightly changed: “You, how did you know?” He slapped his head immediately and said: “Sue must have said it.”
Hu Feng asked again: “When you escaped from the Black Battalion Camp, how is Fu Zheng?”
Awu’s face drastically changed. Zhao Sue knew he had been in Black Battalion Camp, but she doesn’t know General Fu’s name. How did Hu Feng know it?
“Who are you? Why do you know the name of our general?” Awu took two steps backward and clenched his hands into fists.
Hu Feng’s eyes also had inexplicable emotion.
“I am Chu Yan.” It’s been three years since he mentioned these two words again. A name that feels strange to him.
Awu took another two steps backward in shock. “Chu? Chu Yan?”
Chu Yan, it was the Marshal of three armies, who fought regardless of life and death with the soldiers in the northwest for seven years, their Royal Highness Prince Jin.
