Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

After putting the envelope away, Wei Wu turned to look at Zhang Hao.

"Zhang Hao, I'm going to have to trouble you to look after me when I leave Beijing. Remember to tell your brothers when I get back."

"You can be more generous with your food and clothing this time. Just ask me to reimburse all your expenses when you return to Beijing."

Zhang Hao and Wei Wu were old acquaintances, and he knew that Wei Wu never looked down on others because of their status.

And he was generous and magnanimous, even to small characters like them.

So after Wei Wu finished speaking, he did not refuse, but replied with a smile:

"Then I would like to thank Uncle Changle on behalf of those brothers who have suffered so much. Don't worry, we will definitely protect your safety!"

"We are all old acquaintances, I believe this very much. So, let's go!"

"Yes!"

After receiving Wei Wu's instructions, Zhang Hao turned around and left.

His mission this time was to protect secretly. He didn't need to show up without Wei Wu's order, nor would he take the initiative to talk to Wei Wu.

After Zhang Hao left, Zhang Hai also began to call on the members of the Wuchang Squad to set off.

Just like that, not long after dawn, Wei Wu rode in a carriage and left Yingtian Prefecture in a low-key manner.

It’s impossible not to be excited when I leave the capital for the first time.

Although the carriage did not go far, it had not even reached the riverside.

But Wei Wu sat in the sedan chair and would lift the curtain to look outside from time to time.

Fortunately, after the novelty wears off, all that's left is boredom.

Yangzhou is actually not far from the capital. If you calculate the straight-line distance, it is about 150 miles.

But there were no direct highways in ancient times, and people had to avoid mountains and go around rivers, so the actual distance would not be less than two hundred miles.

Fortunately, Beijing is the capital after all, and the road conditions in the surrounding areas are much better than other places.

After a day's long journey, the carriage had traveled about seventy miles, or about thirty-five kilometers.

But it was not a flat concrete road after all, and Wei Wu felt a little tired after sitting in the carriage for a whole day.

Fortunately, before nightfall, we finally entered the town and found an inn to stay in.

After arranging the carriage and feed, the innkeeper took Wei Wu to the room.

As soon as I walked in, I smelled a stale and decayed smell, and the interior furnishings looked a bit simple.

But after all, you can't ask for too much when you are away from home. At least it is a place to stay.

After settling into their respective rooms, Wei Wu brought Zhang Hai and the other three to the first-floor lobby to prepare for dinner.

Just then, a monk in black walked in from outside the inn.

In fact, Wei Wu didn't pay attention at first, but when he saw Zhang Hai looking sideways frequently, he turned his head to take a look.

Normal monks wear robes in brown or khaki colors, but this monk was wearing a black robe.

This made Wei Wu think of a person, the black-robed prime minister Yao Guangxiao who was called the evil monk in troubled times by later generations.

But he was just thinking about it casually. After all, the probability of any monk he met being Yao Guangxiao was small.

There are many monks in the world, so it is normal that some of them like to wear black clothes.

However, just as Wei Wu was thinking this, the black-robed monk walked directly towards him.

Seeing this scene, Wei Wu's eyes narrowed slightly, but quickly returned to normal.

At this time, the black-robed monk also walked to his table and said in a gentle tone with a kind face:

"My dear sir, I have come here on my journey and am extremely hungry. Could I ask you for some food?"

After the black-robed monk finished speaking, Wei Wu's expression did not change, but he was thinking secretly in his heart.

"Looking at the situation, they are coming for me!"

I muttered to myself.

Wei Wu was about to say something when he heard the shopkeeper's impatient voice from the side.

"Where did you come from, you stinky monk? Go beg somewhere else. Why did you come in here and disturb our customers?"

As he spoke, the shopkeeper walked quickly towards the black-robed monk, waving his hand as if to drive him away.
