Chapter 223 Let Them Go
After leaving Shanxi City and getting on the official road, Zhu Ming and others finally recovered from the shock of seeing off the crowds of people.
"You kid, you have some skills."
Xu Miaojin punched Zhu Ming's shoulder lightly and laughed jokingly.
She also didn't expect that Zhu Ming, who only came to provide disaster relief, could make the people love him so much.
"Why, are you envious?"
Zhu Ming smiled at her and was about to reach out to touch Xu Miaojin's head.
"Not in good shape."
Xu Miaojin rolled her eyes at him and raised her hand to push his hand away.
Zhu Ming leaned towards her and put on a painful expression: "It's over, my wound has burst."
Xu Miaojin knew that he was pretending, but she didn't push him away. She just chuckled and reached out her hand to touch the wound on Zhu Ming's chest.
Zhu Ming enjoyed the green fingertips very much.
The loud bang of a cannon made Zhu Ming sit up suddenly, and he pricked up his ears and looked around alertly.
The sound of horse hooves suddenly came from all directions, from far to near, slowly and steadily.
"what happened?"
When Zhu Ming stuck his head out of the carriage, he found that the carriage had been surrounded by several men, led by several horses. They were all holding weapons and had bad intentions.
"Who are you to dare to commit murder on the official road?"
Zhu Ming looked at the robbers and shouted at them harshly.
With dozens of Jinyiwei protecting him, he was naturally not at a disadvantage.
"Your Highness, have you forgotten me so quickly?"
Hearty laughter came from the crowd, and these ferocious robbers consciously retreated to both sides and looked at them coldly.
A big man carrying a saber and wearing tattered clothes walked in front of the crowd.
"Hu Wei?"
Zhu Ming looked at the man and his face darkened.
"It seems that the little prince still has some memory."
Facing the Jinyiwei who were on high alert all around Zhu Ming, Hu Wei did not panic at all. Instead, he rode his horse back and forth leisurely, speaking in a frivolous tone.
"You want to die for robbing and killing a minister on the official road?"
Zhu Ming looked at Hu Wei seriously. This guy was really bold.
I led people to attack the city, but I didn't let anyone wipe them out. Instead, they dared to commit crimes on the official road.
"Speaking of killing, I killed a few people some time ago."
Hu Wei swung his saber and stuck it aside: "If I don't kill anyone, the prisoner cart won't be able to pass Black Tiger Mountain."
Zhu Ming didn't want to waste time with a robber like Hu Wei, so he snorted coldly: "Stop talking nonsense, either do it or let us go."
After Zhu Ming finished speaking, the Jinyiwei guards around him drew their swords and were ready for battle.
"Your Highness, do you want to repay kindness with enmity?"
Hu Wei was leaning on the horse's head, showing no intention of taking action, and his words were mostly full of sarcasm.
"Why do you want to fight but not fight, and retreat but not retreat?"
Seeing that Zhu Ming and Hu Wei had been arguing for so long without any result, Xu Miaojin had already lifted the door curtain, glared at them fiercely, and shouted.
"Who is this?"
Hu Wei was stunned for a moment when he saw the pretty girl who suddenly emerged from Zhu Ming's carriage.
"Daughter of Duke Wei, Xu Miaojin."
Xu Miaojin raised her head with a look of pride.
In the eyes of these people, she is not a good person.
"Then I am blind to the truth."
Hearing Xu Miaojin's name, Hu Wei actually restrained himself a little and bowed to her.
This actually surprised Zhu Ming. He didn't expect that the Duke of Wei would be so useful to Hu Wei.
However, he also realized that Hu Wei did not come with any hostility this time.
I just didn't expect that I would be robbed by accident.
"Since you know my father's reputation, why don't you let us go?"
Seeing this, Xu Miaojin still looked at him arrogantly and shouted.
"That won't work."
Hu Wei shook his head. He thought that since they were the ones robbing people, there was no way he would let them go so easily.
But just as he finished speaking, a cold light flashed, forcing him to quickly pick up the saber and block in front of him.
Ding.
A hairpin hit the blade of the saber and fell to the ground.
Seeing that the hairpin she threw was blocked, Xu Miaojin was also shocked.
"How dare you attack the boss!"
Seeing that Xu Miaojin had already taken action, the robbers around him immediately drew their knives and started shouting wildly.
"Although we are not many in number, they are all Jinyiwei. If a fight really breaks out, it is still unknown who will win."
Seeing that the two sides were on the verge of a fight, Zhu Ming also looked at Hu Wei and warned him.
He had seen the abilities of Hu Wei's men. Although they were a mob, they were not afraid of death.
If a fight really breaks out, the Jinyiwei will suffer considerable casualties.
"stop."
Upon seeing this, Hu Wei immediately shouted angrily and stopped his men who were about to take action.
"Your Highness."
He dismounted from his horse and walked towards Zhu Ming step by step.
As soon as he walked in front of Zhu Ming's men, a sword was already placed on his neck, making everyone nervous again.
"Take another step forward and you will die."
Chen Ling held the Embroidered Spring Knife and looked at Hu Wei coldly.
With a man like Hu Wei, the little prince would be in danger if he were allowed to get close to him.
I have been ordered to protect the safety of the little prince, and I must not be negligent in any way.
"Boss, if you have something to say, just say it right there. Master Chen Ling's embroidered spring sword is actually very sharp."
Zhu Ming looked at Hu Wei provocatively and said with a smile.
Hu Wei just glanced at Chen Ling and did not move forward. He shouted to Zhu Ming from a distance: "Young prince, we brothers have come out for a trip, and there is no reason for us to return empty-handed."
"I only have a thousand taels of silver on me, if you want it, take it."
Zhu Ming frowned. If Hu Wei didn't have so many powerful subordinates, he would not have considered this issue at all.
"One thousand taels, Your Highness, are you sending away a beggar?"
Hu Wei raised his eyebrows at Zhu Ming and sneered disdainfully.
This one thousand taels could not satisfy his appetite.
"Then what do you want?"
Zhu Ming looked at Hu Wei and asked in a deep voice: "If the lion is asking for too much, then we should just do it."
I am not without bottom line.
"I want His Highness to write me a letter and ask the prefect of Shanxi to send troops to encircle and suppress my Black Tiger Mountain forever."
At this time, Hu Wei also restrained his previous joking expression and looked at Zhu Ming seriously.
Although I didn't expect that I could stop this little prince this time.
But now that we have encountered it, we have to get something valuable.
I have brought so many people to attack the city this time, and we will definitely face encirclement and suppression from government soldiers in the future.
Now that the Black Tiger Camp’s strength has been damaged, it will certainly not be able to hold on.
If I had this letter from Zhu Ming, I would have nothing to worry about.
"If the boss is serious, then just do it."
Hearing Hu Wei's request, Zhu Ming couldn't help but laugh.
They are just a group of bandits. It is simply wishful thinking for me to pardon them.
