Chapter 269 Why is it you?
Chapter 269 Why is it you?
"Master, you go ahead."
"We believe you."
Seeing that Shen Miao was about to leave the military camp, these men immediately surrounded Hu Wei and began to persuade him.
This means going to the capital, and being by the side of the emperor's grandson, so it is not impossible to reach the top overnight.
"Wait!"
Hu Wei suddenly called out to Shen Miao before she left the military camp.
"Changed your mind?"
Shen Miao then turned around and looked at Hu Wei expressionlessly.
Even if Hu Wei changed his words now, it was also within her expectations.
"I can follow your instructions and go to the capital."
Hu Wei nodded and looked at his brothers reluctantly.
Even though he agreed to go to the capital, he was still worried about his brothers.
Without his protection, these people who were born as bandits might not be able to have a good life in the team.
"Don't worry, I won't let them be treated unfairly."
Even though Hu Wei didn't speak, Shen Miao knew what he meant and nodded.
Since she was the one who recruited these people, she would not allow any injustice to happen under her leadership.
After getting Shen Miao's promise, Hu Wei nodded.
"Pack your things and hit the road tomorrow."
After Hu Wei was persuaded, Shen Miao chuckled and turned to leave.
……
"When will the people borrowed from Shanxi arrive?"
In the courtyard of Duke Wei, Xu Miaojin sat on the windowsill with her chin supported by her hand, pouted and asked impatiently.
"Who knows?"
Zhu Ming waved his hand and looked out the window. The drizzling rain seemed to be falling endlessly, making the sky as gloomy as if it was dark.
"It's been three days, and it's raining like this. I don't know how long it will continue."
Zhu Ming shook his head. He didn't know if it was because of the rain, but his mood was a little gloomy.
The rain continued for three days without stopping, which was really annoying.
"Who says it's not?"
Even Xu Miaojin, who was always lively, sighed deeply at this moment.
It’s not easy to get this kind of rain from Shanxi.
After Zhu Ming and Xu Miaojin finished talking, they fell silent again, making the atmosphere in the room cold.
"Miss, your highness."
A Hu guard walked to the door and shouted respectfully inside.
"come in."
Zhu Ming nodded and motioned for him to come in.
The man then walked cautiously to Zhu Ming's side, leaned over and whispered a few words.
After hearing his words, Zhu Ming's face, which had been gloomy just now, immediately became excited.
"what happened?"
Hearing the noise here, Xu Miaojin also shifted her attention over here, looked at Zhu Ming and asked in confusion.
"People from Shanxi have arrived."
Zhu Ming smiled at Xu Miaojin. His people had finally arrived.
"Really?"
Hearing this news, Xu Miaojin also stood up: "Where is it?"
She couldn't wait to see who Shanxi had sent over.
"Just wait outside the city gate now."
After Zhu Ming finished speaking, he stood up and walked towards the door impatiently.
Seeing this, Xu Miaojin also quickly followed out.
Seeing this, the servants who had been serving outside the door hurriedly opened umbrellas to help Zhu Ming and Xu Miaojin block the rain.
"What a damn weather."
Hu Wei stood outside the city gate, looked up at the gloomy sky, and complained impatiently.
He was not a patient person to begin with, and he was tortured by the terrible weather along the way, which made him even more resentful.
He stood there, tall and strong, scaring everyone passing by the city gate to the other side of the road.
Even the soldiers guarding the city gate felt a little scared when they saw him like this.
"You are from Shanxi?"
A familiar and childish voice sounded, causing Hu Wei to turn his head involuntarily.
Zhu Ming brought Xu Miaojin and slowly walked towards this side.
When the two got closer and saw each other's faces clearly, Zhu Ming was also shocked.
"why you?"
He frowned, looked at Hu Wei, and asked in confusion.
Wasn't Hu Wei a bandit in Heihu Mountain? How come he was sent from Shanxi?
"What's up with him?"
Xu Miaojin had never met Hu Wei. When she arrived in Shanxi, Hu Wei's attack had already been repelled by Zhu Ming.
Just looking at Hu Wei's tall and strong figure and his imposing manner, she was quite satisfied.
Just seeing Zhu Ming so shocked, he asked in confusion.
"He is a bandit from Black Tiger Mountain."
Zhu Ming's face darkened and he looked at Hu Wei warily.
If Hu Wei suddenly launched an attack now and wanted to avenge his defeat in Shanxi, he would have little chance of winning.
"Bandits?"
Hearing Zhu Ming's answer, Xu Miaojin was also shocked.
What the hell is Shen Miao doing?
"I am now the general defending Shanxi, Your Highness the Imperial Grandson."
Hu Wei said this, pointing to a package nearby.
In that package, there was also his armor to prove his identity.
"Why didn't Shen Miao tell me?"
Zhu Ming frowned. How come he didn't know that Hu Wei had become a general defending the city of Shanxi?
It's not that he thinks this is not a bad idea, as he has seen Hu Wei's bravery.
After Jinghui was assassinated, there was indeed no one available in Shanxi.
"What, can't it?"
Seeing Zhu Ming so surprised, Hu Wei sneered disdainfully.
Anyway, he didn't come here willingly.
If Zhu Ming doesn't need him, he can just go back to Shanxi if he can't fight.
It would be nice to be a general in Shanxi with my brothers.
"of course not."
Zhu Ming shook his head. Of course he didn't mean that.
Judging from ability alone, Hu Wei is indeed the most suitable candidate.
There was also a bet between him and Prince of Yan Zhu Di. If someone else came, he would have to worry about whether the person could survive Zhu Di's men.
If it was Hu Wei, at least he would have a chance of winning even against Zhu Neng, which could give him some confidence.
"Looking at your expressions, it seems like you are in some trouble."
Hu Wei crossed his arms, glanced at Zhu Ming and Xu Miaojin's faces, and said with a smile.
"really."
Zhu Ming nodded. Since Shen Miao had asked Hu Wei to come, let him try.
If you want to use him, you naturally cannot hide anything from him.
"You still need to compete with the men of Yan Wang Zhu Di."
He looked at Zhu Ming seriously, this was not an 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.
