Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

"No need. I didn't say that to kill him. He's not someone you can kill easily. He's very capable!"

"Besides, even if you lead people out to chase him now, it's impossible to find his trace. Without this ability, he wouldn't dare to come to me."

Although he said this, Wei Wu still had some feelings of cherishing talent.

Otherwise, he could have just shot Yao Guangxiao to death. He was just a monk, and no one would dare to say anything against him if he killed him.

It’s just a pity to kill him, so just give him a chance!

At the same time, it has been considered as making preparations for both situations.

Now that Zhu Yuanzhang has decided to establish vassal states overseas, even if the kings have some ulterior motives, they will not be able to do so in the future.

Even if Yao Guangxiao possessed the skills to slay dragons, it would be difficult for him to find someone worthy of his assistance.

Moreover, the future Ming Dynasty is destined to dominate the world and intimidate foreign countries, and its national strength will far exceed that of all previous Chinese dynasties.

By that time, the only way for Yao Guangxiao to display his talents was to serve the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, if this guy is still stubborn and wants to stir up trouble to verify his talent.

Then we can use him to fish out all the rats in the gutter and catch them all in one net.

Anyway, as long as Old Zhu is still around, there won’t be any big waves in this world.

Even if Zhu Yuanzhang passed away in the future, Crown Prince Zhu Biao would still be around. With him around, there would be no chaos in the Ming Dynasty.

In fact, to put it bluntly, Wei Wu's last words about walking at night were actually referring to Yao Guangxiao.

You can go, I won't keep you, but you have to know that you have to be extremely careful when walking at night.

Otherwise, if you walk on the road at night for too long, you will inevitably encounter ghosts, and then you will lose your life.

In fact, Yao Guangxiao also understood Wei Wu’s meaning, so he said that Wei Wu was a difficult hurdle!

As for the final choice, it all depends on Yao Guangxiao himself.

After experiencing this unexpected episode with Yao Guangxiao, Wei Wu continued on his journey the next day.

There were no unexpected situations afterwards. After two days of travel, they finally arrived in Yangzhou.

I have to say, no wonder so many poets mentioned Yangzhou in their poems. This place is indeed prosperous.

This ancient city, known as the famous capital of Huaizuo and the beautiful place of Zhuxi, not only has a profound historical heritage.

It is also the favorite place for literati and scholars to travel and gather.

Delicious Huaiyang cuisine, exquisitely designed and uniquely styled gardens, and the delicate customs of the Jiangnan water towns.

All of the above combined together to create Yangzhou, an ancient city that makes people unconsciously fall in love with it.

After entering the city, the carriage passed through the bustling market and slowly moved along the bluestone road.

Not long after, the carriage stopped in front of the largest restaurant in Yangzhou City.

Above the door of the restaurant hangs a plaque with three large characters "Hui Yan Lou" engraved on it.

It can be seen from the handwriting that these three words must have been written by a famous calligrapher.

After lifting the curtain of the car door and getting out, Wei Wu glanced at the restaurant in front of him and couldn't help but sigh.

"Shen Lin really knows how to enjoy life. This restaurant is one of the most luxurious even in the capital."

As he was speaking, a young man dressed as a waiter came trotting up to him from the restaurant.

"A few guests please come in."

Afterwards, led by the waiter, Wei Wu and his group came to the private room on the second floor of Huiyan Tower.

"What would you like to order, gentlemen?"

Wei Wu waved his hand and said:

"There's no rush to order food. Let me ask you something first."

"Okay, sir, if you ask, I will tell you everything I know."

Hearing this, Wei Wu chuckled and casually took out some change and threw it to the waiter.

Then he took out a five-liang silver ingot and placed it on the table before asking:

"I like to hear interesting stories. Has anything interesting happened in your store recently?"

The waiter tilted his head and thought for a while before speaking:

"That...really not the case. The people who come to our Huiyan Tower are either wealthy businessmen or gentry. They are all here to discuss business."

After hearing the waiter's answer, Wei Wu couldn't help but look disappointed.

"Is that so? Alright then! Let's order some food. What are your specialties?"

"You've asked the right person. Our Huiyan Tower is most famous for its soft-shelled eel and three fresh river delicacies. They're incredibly delicious!"

"Okay, let's arrange it! And we can also serve some local specialties."

"Okay! Sir, please wait a moment!"

The waiter raised his voice and immediately turned around and left the private room, walking towards the counter on the first floor.

At the same time, as the waiter left, a gleam of light flashed in Wei Wu's eyes.

"This waiter is really honest! I have this huge sum of money right in front of me, and he can't even make up a story."

As he spoke, Wei Wu turned his head and looked at Zhang Hai. Although he didn't say anything, the latter understood what he meant.

Without saying a word, he left the private room with a team member.

In fact, Wei Wu just felt strange that those people burned down Songbai Tower in order to kill Lu Yao.

But nothing seemed to have happened in Yanlou this time, so I thought of finding out from the waiter.

However, the waiter's answer made him feel something was wrong.

Logically speaking, seeing five taels of silver, the waiter would rack his brains to come up with something.

Even if he was just making up a story, he had to earn the five taels of silver, but the waiter didn't do that.

Not only did he not try to find a way to get the five taels of silver, but he also seemed to be deliberately trying to cover up the truth.

This is quite interesting. He is just a waiter and not the owner, so he shouldn’t be worried about affecting the business!

It has been five or six days since Shen Lin sent back the news, and Yangzhou City is only this big.

Huiyan Tower is a well-known restaurant in the city, and those people couldn't possibly not know that Lu Yao is here.

But even though they knew that Lu Yao was here, these people didn't take any action. It's hard to say that there is no trick here.

In fact, it’s not that Wei Wu is sensitive, but he has to be careful about everything when he goes out.

After all, he only has one life, so he never minds speculating about others with the greatest malice.

Facts have proved that Wei Wu's caution was not unreasonable.

About ten minutes after Zhang Hai left, the waiter walked into the private room carrying a tray of food.

Just as he was serving the dishes, Zhang Hai happened to walk in from outside.

He first exchanged glances with Wei Wu, then looked at the dishes on the table and slowly shook his head.

The two of them didn't say a word throughout the whole process, but they had already completed the transmission of information.

The waiter didn't see the eye contact between the two. After putting the dishes away, he bowed and said something.

"Sir, please enjoy your meal!"

After the waiter left the private room, Zhang Hai quickly walked to Wei Wu and whispered:

"There's drugs in the food, but I can't tell what they are."

Wei Wu nodded, glanced at the dishes on the table, and then asked another question.

"Send someone to keep an eye on that waiter. Also, where is Shen Lin?"

"I've already sent the team to look for them. They should be here to see the young master soon."
