Chapter 1938: Chapter 1935: Face-Slapping

The King of Huainan walked forward unhurriedly, striking up a conversation with him.

He spoke of last year’s incident of escorting provisions, where Chu Heng escaped Duke Zheng’s trap and safely delivered the grain to the military camp.

The King of Huainan was deeply impressed by him because of this matter.

Even upon meeting Ye Hao, he learned that he had a familial connection with Chu Heng.

That’s why he paid more attention to Ye Hao.

The fact did not disappoint him either; Chu Heng, this brother-in-law, was also a man of steel, suited to remain on the battlefield.

By the time Chu Heng arrived at the drill ground, quite a few officials and military generals were already present.

They eyed Chu Heng fiercely.

Hu Hua pushed aside the officials standing in front and walked to the front, looking at Chu Heng beside him. After arranging for a separate table and chairs for the King of Huainan, he spoke, "Lord Chu, shall we begin now?"

"Give me a moment to change my attire."

Chu Heng was still wearing his court attire, with wide sleeves, which were not suitable for dueling.

Soon, Chu Heng changed into casual attire and returned.

In a deep purple, snug casual outfit, with a black belt accentuating his sturdy waist, the width just right, his long hair tied back, falling behind him, his wrists adorned with cuff bands; he appeared both sharp and agile, exuding a certain majestic yet cold severity compared to when he wore court attire.

"Who will go first?" Chu Heng casually selected a long spear from the weapon rack.

He was exceedingly composed and leisurely walked on the drill ground, his sculpted features exceptionally handsome.

In this moment, Chu Heng was no longer gentle but exuded aggressiveness.

Hu Hua felt a bit uneasy.

Yet being on a tiger’s back, he couldn’t retreat without a fight.

He waved his hand.

Immediately, a general stepped forward.

The two exchanged courtesies before battling, announcing their names.

Both wielded long spears, and suddenly, the sounds of weapons clashing and clanging filled the air, dazzling the onlookers.

The layman watches the scene, while the expert understands the subtleties.

Several military generals, due to Chu Heng’s skills, were filled with excitement, eager to personally compete with him.

But after only a dozen moves.

The middle-aged general admitted defeat in dejection, lowering his weapon and conceding, "I lost."

"Lord Chu, I, Zhong Mian, request to take the field."

A young military general leaped forward, looking at him with a somewhat fervent gaze.

Chu Heng lifted his hand slightly, and the two began sparring once again.

Chu Heng’s moves were decisive and fierce, without superfluous flourishes.

Compared to the flashy moves of his opponent, each move carried a sense of lethal intent.

This time, it took less than ten moves for the young military general to lose.

Seeing this, Hu Hua silently clenched his fists tightly, not expecting Chu Heng to be so powerful, realizing he had to deploy a trump card.

He beckoned to an official nearby and whispered a few words into his ear.

The official hesitated, "Official Hu, do we really need to let that one take the field?"

"Of course, hurry, don’t delay."

Chu Heng refused no challenger.

Military generals, by nature impulsive, had a fondness for competing, and with such a good opportunity, would not refuse and eagerly took the field for a match.

In just fifteen minutes, they had already competed with over a dozen people.

Meanwhile, the civil officials from the Ministry of War, who had been jeering at Chu Heng and hoped to trouble him, now looked ashen, dreading being called out by Chu Heng.

Having never been on the battlefield, they were only accustomed to dictating from the capital.

Enjoying wealth and luxury, where would they find the strength to contend with Chu Heng?

Describing a few select Ministry of War officials as wine sacks and food bags, without the strength to truss a chicken, couldn’t be more fitting.

After engaging over twenty to thirty rounds of opponents.

Even though Chu Heng defeated his opponents with the utmost speed.
