A Tree in the Forest Will Be Destroyed by the Wind
Zhu Li also appeared in Zhu Yuanzhang's entourage, which was beyond everyone's expectations.
Wasn't there something wrong with the Han King's brain?
Why did he know how to hunt?
This was the first thought that came to everyone's mind.
But soon, someone sized Zhu Li up and had a different opinion.
"This Han King looks heroic and normal. He's not as crazy as the rumors say.”
"Could it be that the rumors are wrong?"
"Maybe it's not the time to go crazy yet? It was said that under most circumstances, the King of Han was sober, but he would occasionally go crazy.”
“……”
The discussion lasted for a while. When Zhu Li and the others came closer, they finally calmed down.
This was the first time Zhu Li had accompanied Zhu Yuanzhang out of the palace to hunt, but he did not expect Lan Yu and the others to be present. He wished he could stay away from these Huaixi dignitaries, but it seemed that he could not avoid them today.
"I see…"
At this moment, Zhu Li heard Zhuge Liang's voice in his mind.
"Senior Zhuge, what do you mean by that? What did you think of?"
Zhu Li's heart skipped a beat as he asked hurriedly.
"The old emperor brought you to hunt because he wanted to test your riding and archery skills. He wanted you to show off in front of others. To put it bluntly, this was a test, and it was an open test!”
Zhuge Liang explained with a smile.
"Is that necessary? If he asked me directly, I wouldn't hide it either.”
Zhu Li's face darkened.
He really didn't want to hide anything. He just wanted to keep a low profile and not attract too many people's attention.
After all, a tree that stood out in the forest would be destroyed by the wind!
Wasn't Prince Zhu Di outstanding enough?
After Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne, he was listed as the number one enemy.
"Emperors are all like this. Compared to what you say, they are more willing to believe what they see with their own eyes.”
Huo Qubing, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly laughed.
"You're a rare fellow. Why did you come out to join in the fun at this time?”
Seeing Huo Qubing, who usually didn't talk much, take the initiative to speak, Zhuge Liang was also interested and asked with a smile.
"Who among us can beat me in riding a horse and shooting arrows? This kid has also fused with 70 - 80% of my personality and inheritance. I don't usually have the chance to do so, but today, I can test the effect.”
Huo Qubing explained proudly.
Baiqi used a sword, Gao Shun used a saber, and he, Huo Qubing, used a spear.
However, among the three of them, Huo Qubing was the best in archery.
"Don't think about it. Today was not the day to let this kid expose his true colors.”
Zhuge Liang poured cold water on Huo Qubing.
"Why?"
Huo Qubing asked subconsciously.
"Because Huaixi Xun Gui was also present!”
Before Zhuge Liang could explain, Zhu Li took the lead and explained,"I can show some of my abilities in front of my father, but I won't show them in front of others.”
"Especially those people from Huaixi. I don't want to be remembered by them!”
Huo Qubing was speechless.
"That's right. When you reach the hunting ground, remember to act according to the situation and hide your strength.”
Zhuge Liang was quite satisfied with Zhu Li's reaction.
"In that case, I'll go back to sleep.”
Huo Qubing lost interest and then stopped moving.
Soon, the huge hunting team passed through the main street of the Ying Tian Prefecture and directly left the city, heading straight for the mountain forest where the imperial guards were stationed.
When they arrived at their destination, Zhu Li was completely speechless.
Although he had thought that the so-called hunting was just a formality, he did not expect it to have nothing to do with hunting at all.
The real hunting was to snipe freely in the forest and capture all kinds of prey.
However, when it came to Zhu Yuanzhang, it was more like a shooting range.
At most, it was a mobile shooting range for small animals.
The nature of this had completely changed.
However, Zhu Li felt relieved when he saw the heavily guarded Imperial Guards around him.
Zhu Yuanzhang was old after all. Even if he wanted Ren Xin, his subordinates would probably not agree.
Right at this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang walked out of the resting tent under the escort of Lan Yu and the others.
"Ninth Brother, is this your first time hunting with us? Let me see your skills?"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked Zhu Li with a smile.
Hearing this, Lan Yu and the other generals also looked curiously at Zhu Li.
Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang's excited expression, why was this Han King an expert in riding and archery?
"What did I say?"
Zhuge Liang's voice sounded in Zhu Li's mind again.
"I can't hide from what's coming. I won't be stupid enough to expose my strength.”
Zhu Li had already accepted the current situation and said to Zhuge Liang disapprovingly.
"I'm just afraid that your cheap Imperial Father won't agree!”
Zhuge Liang reminded with a bitter smile.
Zhu Li had no choice but to calm himself down and smile at Zhu Yuanzhang.""Since Imperial Father wants to see it, then this subject will make a fool of myself.”
"Men, bring up the bow we prepared for Old Nine and let him try it!”
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and ordered his men.
Soon, a soldier handed a longbow to Zhu Li.
Zhu Li was stunned when he saw the longbow in front of him.
This was a five-load bow!
One had to know that the ordinary soldiers of the Great Ming Dynasty only used three-load bows. The pulling force of a five-load bow was almost twice that of a three-load bow. It was impossible for soldiers without special training to pull it.
In the military camp, only a few generals would use this kind of heavy long-range bow and arrow.
In fact, this was what Zhu Yuanzhang had done on purpose.
Last night, when he was simulating Zhu Yunwen's life, he saw that Zhu Li could even pull the seven-load bow effortlessly. This could be considered a test of his downgrading.
However, besides Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Li, everyone else was shocked when they saw the bow.
Although there were quite a few people in the army who could pull a five-load bow, just Blue Jade and the others could easily pull a five-load bow, let alone a seven-load bow.
However, this bow was prepared by Zhu Yuanzhang for Zhu Li. This was intriguing!
How could this stupid prince who had a problem with his brain be so brave that he even knew how to use a five-load bow?
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw this, the smile on his face became even brighter.
However, before he could be happy, Zhu Li suddenly asked him,""Father, are you mistaken? I can't pull this bow open!"
"Give your son a two-load bow.”
Hearing this, not only Lan Yu and the others, even the Embroidered Uniform Guards who had followed them revealed a look of disdain. They looked at Zhu Li with even more disdain.
Not only was there something wrong with this Han King's brain, but he was also a good-for-nothing!
Even a child who had yet to grow hair could pull two bows!
Zhu Yuanzhang's smile froze on his face because of Zhu Li's words.
