Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Even when Wei Wu and the others came in, this man did not stand up and continued to sit there.

It wasn't that he was deliberately making things difficult or trying to intimidate the other party, but mainly because his rank didn't really require him to stand up.

The Jinyiwei in the early Ming Dynasty was not as notorious as it was later, and they did not frequently resort to tactics such as framing others.

At this time, as long as you have a clear conscience, you don't have to be afraid of the Jinyiwei coming to your door.

Seeing that the commander did not stand up, Wei Wu sat down on the chair next to him in a familiar manner.

Zhang Hai and the others immediately came and stood behind Wei Wu.

Seeing this scene, the commander frowned slightly, but did not make trouble. He just asked in a calm tone.

"You guys came to my house suddenly. I wonder what you want from me?"

"There are indeed some things that require the help and cooperation of the garrison, but before that, what is your name, Commander?"

"No need to worry about your surname being Yao, and your given name being Xiong."

"Ok!"

After Yao Xiong introduced himself, Wei Wu nodded slowly.

Seeing this, Yao Xiong felt a little uncomfortable.

What does that mean? He asked for my name but refused to give his own. Did he come here on purpose to embarrass me?

Even so, you still want me to help you. Do you think I will agree?

Just when Yao Xiong was feeling indignant, Wei Wu suddenly reached into his arms and took out a piece of bright yellow silk cloth.

When Yao Xiong saw this thing, his heart skipped a beat. Bright yellow is a color that only the royal family can use.

Just as Yao Xiong was surprised, Wei Wu stood up with the silk cloth in his hand.

"Yao Xiong, listen to my orders!"

"General Yao Xiong, I obey your orders!"

Upon hearing this, Yao Xiong immediately stood up from behind the table, walked to Wei Wu and knelt down.

"This time, Changle Earl Wei Wu is leaving the capital on business under our orders. He has been granted the imperial decree to carry with him, allowing him to mobilize tens of thousands of troops at will."

"All military units along the way must cooperate wholeheartedly and must not disobey..."

The imperial edict that Zhu Yuanzhang gave to Wei Wu was different from the imperial edicts issued in formal occasions in the past.

Most of it is written in vernacular Chinese, without any flowery vocabulary, which is quite consistent with Lao Zhu's daily personality.

However, even though the wording of this imperial edict did not conform to the rules, Yao Xiong did not have any doubts.

Now is the founding period of the Ming Dynasty, and the Hongwu Emperor is at the peak of his power. No one has the courage to forge an imperial edict.

Yao Xiong spoke only after General Wei finished reading the imperial edict.

"General Yao Xiong, I will obey your majesty's command!"

"Alright Commander Yao, you may stand up and verify the decree!"

This imperial edict from Wei Wu was not the kind that was bestowed but the kind that was read out, so it did not need to be handed over to the person who was to hear it.

After all, he still needs to carry it with him, but he needs to let the person who is going to hear the order to review and verify it.

So, after Wei Wu finished speaking, Yao Xiong quickly stood up and came to Wei Wu.

He carefully took the imperial edict with both hands and examined it. After reading it, he handed it back to Wei Wu with both hands.

"I didn't expect it was Lord Changle who was here in person. I'm sorry for not recognizing a great man. Lord Changle, please forgive me!"

Unlike before, Yao Xiong no longer had the arrogance he had before, and his voice was much lower in front of Wei Wu.

There was no way around it. His official position was higher than those of the Jinyiwei, so there was no need for him to lower his status.

But although Wei Wu did not hold an official position, he had a title, and this status of earl alone was enough to suppress Yao Xiong.

Taking the imperial edict from Yao Xiong, Wei Wu smiled slightly.

"It's alright. I'm leaving the capital in a low-key manner this time, and Commander Yao has done nothing wrong, so why should I ask for forgiveness?"

Hearing this, Yao Xiong bowed again before asking.

"I wonder what Lord Changle is planning to do, and how I can cooperate with you?"

"I need the soldiers here to cooperate with me to do something."

"Of course that's no problem. So how many people does Changlebo need? Are there any requirements for the candidates?"

Wei Wu shook his head.

"The number of people is not yet clear, but the selection of people must be smart and have strong adaptability."

Speaking of this, Wei Wu suddenly thought of Li Goubao.

"That Li Goubao guarding the camp gate is quite good. Why don't you call him over and let me ask him in person?"

"no problem."

Yao Xiong agreed without any hesitation, and then gave an order outside the military tent.

After about a few minutes, Li Goubao was brought into the tent.

"Lord Commander!"

Yao Xiong nodded and then began to introduce.

"Li Goubao, this is Earl Changle, from the capital, and he has something to ask you."

伯？

I didn’t expect that the person in front of me was actually a nobleman from the capital!

After listening to Yao Xiong's introduction, Li Goubao immediately looked at Wei Wu and bowed.

"I'm here to see Lord Changle. I wonder what Lord Changle wants to ask me."

"do not worry."

Seeing Li Goubao's somewhat panicked expression, Wei Wu smiled and soothed him, then continued:

"I'm in Rencheng this time to do something very important. I need some manpower, preferably people who can adapt to changing circumstances."

"I saw you were quite clever just now, so I called your name."

Upon hearing this, Li Goubao immediately knelt on one knee and said respectfully:

"It is my honor to be valued by you, sir. If I can be of any help to you, sir, I will do my best."

"Okay, then help me select some people from the military camp. They should be smart and quick-witted."

Having said that, Wei Wu suddenly remembered the soldier and added another sentence.

"That bastard who just insulted me, is he close to you?"

"You mean Brother Cheng? I've been under his care in the military camp, and we're really close."

In fact, when it comes to this, Li Goubao is also very nervous, wondering if Wei Wu is going to cause trouble for Brother Cheng by bringing this up.

However, just when he was worried, Wei Wu smiled and said:

"You're quite loyal, but you don't even want to sever ties with him. Aren't you afraid that I'll cause trouble for him? Aren't you afraid that he'll also get you into trouble?"

"I'm afraid, but my father taught me that comrades-in-arms friendship is not to be despised. On the battlefield, they are the ones standing behind me!"

"Okay, since you value friendship, I'll let him go for your sake and not cause him any trouble."

Li Goubao was overjoyed and quickly bowed his head to express his gratitude.

"Thank you, Lord Changle, for your kindness."

"Alright, go ahead and pick the people as I say! The number is tentatively set at 200, and the details will be determined after I hear from you."

After Wei Wu waved his hand to let Li Goubao leave, he turned to look at Yao Xiong.

"Commander Yao, once I've made all the arrangements, I might have to take these people out of the barracks. I'm telling you in advance."

Seeing this, Yao Xiong quickly bowed and said:

"There's no need for this, Lord Changle. Your Majesty has issued an order, and our entire garrison must obey your orders."

"In that case, I will go back to Rencheng first!"

After leaving the military camp, Wei Wu immediately led his men back to the restaurant in Rencheng.

Unexpectedly, the intercom rang as soon as I returned to the room, but it was not the sound of talking, but the sound of rustling electricity.
