Ming Dynasty: At the beginning of the game, Lao Zhu resigned and retired.

Chapter 955: The Old Woman Came to Question

Sometimes, luck is just so unreasonable.

Just as Master Hu was preparing to find a suitable excuse to slip away, Hu Yi suddenly came over and bowed politely.

"Greetings to your majesty, the princes, sir, we have a visitor!"

"Hmm? A guest? Who is it? Why did you come here?"

Even though Master Hu was so happy that he almost laughed out loud at this moment, when it came to questioning and showing off, he was flawless.

Are you kidding? Do you know what movie emperor-level strength is? !

After hearing Hu Yi's report, Zhu Yuanzhang also turned his head to look over.

His question was the same as Mr. Hu's.

It was obvious that Master Hu was discussing something with him, so how could anyone come and disturb him?

Hu Yi was not panicked, but smiled and bowed, saying: "The visitor is Lan Yu, Duke of Liang!"

"Oh! Lan Xiaoer! He's finally back!"

Master Hu suddenly realized and finally knew who the visitor was. Zhu Yuanzhang, who also suddenly realized, nodded silently.

He actually knew that Lan Xiaoer would be back soon, but what he didn't expect was that this guy would come directly to Hujiazhuang.

But this is a good thing, as it saves him from having to talk to Lan Xiaoer again.

"Well, Hu Yi, go tell Lan Xiaoer that Wei Yong and I are waiting for him here, and ask him to come over here quickly!"

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang opened his mouth, the tone immediately changed. It was very impolite.

It’s no wonder Zhu Yuanzhang did this. Just listen to how they address you and you’ll know.

Lan Xiaoer, Lan Xiaoer...

Could this be the way to address people of the same generation or age?

To put it bluntly, although Lan Yu was indeed a brave general in the early Ming Dynasty, in the eyes of people like Zhu Yuanzhang and Mr. Hu, he was more or less lacking in "qualifications"!

After all, when the country was first founded and these people were making great achievements and leaving their names in history, Lan Yu was just Chang Yuchun's brother-in-law and could only follow behind everyone as a little general.

He was indeed a good general, but the key point is that in the early Ming Dynasty, people who were able to lead troops, such as Chang Yuchun, Xu Da, Tang He, and Fu Youde, were all ranked ahead of him.

These people are far superior to him in terms of qualifications, abilities, etc., so he naturally has to step back.

It was also because of this that, even as opportunities increased and Lan Yu continued to grow, his military exploits and titles continued to rise, so that he successfully became a Duke in the subsequent titles.

But what use are these things when facing Mr. Hu and Zhu Yuanzhang?

Are they lacking in identity or qualifications?

Therefore, even though Lan Yu acted arrogant and domineering outside, in front of these two people, he could only yell a few words.

Not only that, you still have to pay attention to your tone and attitude. If you are too arrogant, you will definitely be beaten on the spot.

Originally, Mr. Hu was not included in this treatment.

After all, although Mr. Hu was born in Huaixi, in reality, how could a man like Lan Yu care about a civil servant?

Then, during a meeting, he was beaten by Master Hu.

It was really the kind of beating where you pin him to the ground with your bare hands.

Lan Yu immediately refused to accept it!

Then, after Master Hu let him go, he allowed him to recover for a while.

The second beating came.

This was followed by the third and fourth meals.

Fists and feet, weapons, horse fighting, foot fighting, archery...

Whenever Lan Yu was dissatisfied or talked nonsense, Master Hu would never tolerate him and would just beat him.

Then Lan Yu was hammered into obedience.

It's quite difficult to deal with him. As a military general, he has no advantage in terms of qualifications and other aspects. He is not as good as a civil servant like Mr. Hu in the aspect that he is most proud of.

What else is there to say?

I'm convinced!

In fact, it is no wonder that Lan Yu suffered such a heavy loss. If it had been earlier, when Master Hu had just received the basic martial arts reward, perhaps Lan Yu would have had a chance of winning.

After all, his experience of fighting and escaping death in battle really suppressed Master Hu.

But unfortunately, Master Hu started practicing.

This thing mainly improves physical fitness.

Although it won't be as impressive as moving mountains and seas like in fantasy novels, but it can definitely increase the most basic aspects such as strength and agility.

With the improvement of basic qualities, and the martial arts that Master Hu had instilled into his mind even though he had little experience in actual combat, it became natural for him to deal with an ordinary 'mortal' like Lan Xiaoer.

To say it has changed is just a miracle of great strength.

But defeating Lan Yu was not without its benefits. At least now the entire military circle more or less knew about Master Hu's terrifying martial arts power.

This also made Mr. Hu's reputation spread more widely.

Moreover, my relationship with Lan Xiaoer has also improved a lot.

Look, after Lan Yu came in, he first bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang politely, and then looked at Master Hu with a smile.

"Hey, isn't this our Master Hu?"

"Tsk tsk, it has to be you!"

"When we weren't paying attention, it rushed in front of us in a flash."

"Back then, I was a duke, and you had no title at all, but I still felt very proud!"

"I never thought that this would be useless for many years. You have become a vassal king!"

Master Hu raised his eyebrows at Lan Yu with a smile, but did not respond.

He thought he knew that he was not the protagonist at the moment.

Look, Zhu Yuanzhang has spoken.

"Lan Xiaoer, have you seen Biao'er?"

Lan Yu fell silent after hearing this.

After a long while, he looked up at Zhu Yuanzhang and asked quietly, "Your Majesty, I have followed you for so many years, and after all the hard work and contributions, I can't even have a good ending?"

"The only way to survive is to run away?"

"In that case, how can I be innocent, sir?"

Zhu Yuanzhang curled his lips when he heard this.

"innocent?"

"You, Lan Yu, still need the word innocent?"

"Let's not talk about anything else, just talk about the things you committed. Do you feel innocent?"

"If it weren't for your past achievements and friendship, if someone else dared to do what you did, do you believe that grass would be overgrown on his grave by now?"

"Just you? And you're innocent?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's words were really rude!

Then Lan Yu was also speechless.

He didn't expect Zhu Yuanzhang to be so disrespectful to him and actually expose his shortcomings in front of him.

But at this time, Zhu Chong and his brothers had already gone out, leaving only Zhu Yuanzhang and Master Hu, so they were not worried about these words spreading outside.

But I still feel a little unhappy.

Lan Yu smacked her lips and turned to look at Master Hu standing beside her.

"Old Hu, what do you think?"

"Do you think I, Lan Yu, must come to your place?"

"We are already the Duke of Liang, why can't we enjoy ourselves? Why do we have to work hard all over again and start all over again?"
