Chapter 271 I dare not assert
"what are you guys saying?"
After eating and drinking, Hu Wei raised his head and looked at Zhu Ming in a daze.
He didn't understand a single thing about what Zhu Ming and Zhu Yunhuan were talking about, including Wang Ganju, the Ministry of War, and military power.
The only person we know is Wang Ganju, the previous prefect of Shanxi.
He was still somewhat shocked to hear that he had been beheaded and even his family members far away in Hunan had not survived.
Sometimes, people in the capital are even more ruthless than these bandits.
Zhu Ming and Zhu Yunhuan looked at each other before telling Hu Wei what had happened.
"You just need to win the next competition."
Zhu Ming looked at Hu Wei again and chuckled.
The task he wanted to give to Hu Wei was just that simple.
"So, what you mean is that you want me to become your pawn in the army?"
Hu Wei followed what Zhu Ming and Zhu Yunxun said, sorted out his thoughts, looked at them and asked back.
Although he didn't understand what was going on in the court, he wasn't stupid.
After listening to what Zhu Ming and Zhu Yunhuan said, I now understand a little bit.
"Yes."
Zhu Ming nodded.
"Do you know when the competition is scheduled?"
After Zhu Ming finished answering Hu Wei's question, Zhu Yunhuan looked at Zhu Ming seriously and asked in a deep voice.
Now that his people have arrived, the time for the competition should not be far away.
"Three days later."
Zhu Mingdao.
The only one who needs to wait for this competition is Hu Wei.
As for Zhu Di, he was in the military camp and it was just a matter of words.
"Nephew, I heard your people are here?"
Zhu Ming and Zhu Yunhuan had just finished their conversation when Zhu Di walked in from outside with a strong man.
Seeing this, Zhu Ming and Zhu Yunhuan also stood up and bowed to Zhu Di: "Greetings, Fourth Uncle."
"Meet His Royal Highness Prince Yan."
Hu Wei also stood up, but his eyes subconsciously looked towards the burly man behind Zhu Di.
The sturdy man was eight feet tall, with a broad back and strong waist, and a ferocious face. He didn't look like a good person.
Zhu Ming had also seen this strong man. He was Zhu Neng, who brought him out of the military camp that day.
It seems that his guess was correct. The general chosen by Zhu Di was Zhu Neng.
"This warrior is indeed a man of great talent."
Zhu Di looked Hu Wei up and down and asked with a smile.
With such a person to help, it is no wonder that Zhu Ming dared to agree to his bet.
However, his subordinates are not just any characters.
"Hu Wei, the Shanxi general."
Seeing this, Zhu Ming also took the opportunity to introduce Hu Wei's origins to Zhu Di.
"You look so impressive. Is this brave man interested in serving under me?"
Zhu Di nodded, and without caring that Hu Wei was now Zhu Ming's man, he openly tried to win him over.
Such a brave man also made him admire talented people.
"Your Highness, please forgive me. I'm afraid I can't go."
Hu Wei glanced at Zhu Ming and scratched his head.
Since he had promised Shen Miao to help Zhu Ming, he would definitely not break his promise.
Even if the one who tried to win him over was the famous Zhu Di.
"That's a shame."
Seeing that Hu Wei had rejected him, Zhu Di could only shake his head regretfully.
Since he can't be used for my own benefit, the only option is to get rid of him.
Facing such an opponent, it is necessary to give him a warning.
"Zhu Neng."
He glanced at Zhu Neng behind him from the corner of his eye and shouted in a deep voice.
Zhu Neng reacted immediately, took half a step forward and stretched out his hand.
"Zhu Neng, meet this warrior."
He smiled at Hu Wei politely, looking friendly.
Hu Wei wiped his hands on his body and then held Zhu Neng's hand.
As soon as they made contact, Hu Wei felt a huge force coming from Zhu Neng's hand, as if it was going to crush his bones.
He looked up at Zhu Neng in shock, immediately understood his intention, and began to exert his strength.
Both men looked normal, but veins on their arms were bulging from exerting too much force.
Seeing that Hu Wei could actually compete with his subordinate Zhu Neng, Zhu Di also showed surprise.
He had been fighting in battles for so long, but this was the first time he had seen an opponent that Zhu Neng could not defeat.
Just by looking at Zhu Neng and Hu Wei's expressions, Zhu Ming already understood what they were doing.
"Uncle, if you want to see his abilities, please come back in three days."
He bowed towards Zhu Di and smiled respectfully.
"Zhu Neng, let go."
Zhu Di then snorted coldly and asked Zhu Neng to let go of his hand.
Retreating back to Zhu Di, Zhu Neng secretly put his hands behind his back.
The confrontation just now caused his hands to ache.
Hu Wei's extraordinary strength is not inferior to his.
Hu Wei also put his hands away and couldn't help trembling.
The handshake just now consumed quite a lot of his energy.
"Hu Wei has been traveling all the way and is too tired to entertain Fourth Uncle."
Seeing this, Zhu Ming stood up, bowed to Zhu Di, and ordered him to leave.
"Uncle Four is looking forward to seeing the abilities of your general."
Zhu Ming issued an order to expel the guest, and Zhu Di did not stay long. He sneered, turned around and retreated with Zhu Neng.
"He should be your next opponent. How does he feel?"
After watching Zhu Di and Zhu Neng leave, Zhu Ming walked up to Hu Wei and asked in a deep voice.
"Somewhat capable."
Hu Wei then stretched out his hand, which had been pinched red by Zhu Neng, and nodded in a deep voice.
With such bravery, he can only be said to be worthy of being Zhu Di's subordinate.
"Can you win?"
Zhu Ming asked again.
Now that Hu Wei has fought with Zhu Neng, he has some idea of his abilities.
He looked at Hu Wei seriously, this was no ordinary competition.
If he lost, he didn't think that a ruthless man like Zhu Di would be kind enough to let Hu Wei be safe and sound.
"If you lose, you will die."
Faced with such a serious Zhu Ming, Hu Wei just laughed out loud a few times.
"If I were afraid of death, I wouldn't be a bandit."
As he spoke, he turned around and picked up his package.
"Now that I'm here, I won't let you lose."
He was not a petty person and had already let go of the arrow that Zhu Ming shot at him.
And he had promised Shen Miao, so naturally he would not break his promise.
"Zhu Neng, how good are his abilities?"
After walking out of the side courtyard of the Daming Palace, Zhu Di turned around, looked at Zhu Neng seriously, and asked in a deep voice.
Judging from Zhu Neng's expression, it's not that easy to deal with.
"He is a fierce general."
Zhu Neng nodded. He was quite confident in Hu Wei's abilities.
"Then can you win?"
Zhu Di frowned and asked again.
"Your Highness, please forgive me for being frank."
Upon seeing this, Zhu Neng immediately walked up to Zhu Di and bowed, saying, "I am on par with him. I really cannot say for sure."
There was no winner in their competition just now, so Zhu Neng was not 100% sure that he could definitely beat Hu Wei.
"That's it, that's all."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Di shook his head helplessly.
