After hearing what Yao Xiong said, Wei Wu suddenly realized that this was where the problem lay.

To be honest, he is a modern man, and after coming to the Ming Dynasty, he has been living in seclusion among the people.

Even when he came into contact with Zhu Yuanzhang later, he only came into contact with Lan Yu and others, and did not inquire about any information about the army.

I didn't understand the rules of the Ming Dynasty's military system, but now I know that there are so many rules involved.

However, he had to have these weapons, otherwise it would be useless even if he took the White Lotus Sect to Qufu.

You should know that the entire Qufu is the territory of the Kong family, and even the county magistrate is the current head of the family.

The number of yamen runners in the county government was definitely over-standard, plus the servants and guards employed by the Kong family themselves.

Once the Kong family reacts, they will probably be able to organize people to fight back immediately.

Wei Wu's purpose in leading the White Lotus Sect to Qufu this time was simple: to achieve his goal as quickly as possible.

Without weapons, the one thousand or so believers could only rely on hand-to-hand combat, which would greatly reduce their lethality and might even lead to a defeat.

But Yao Xiong's worries are indeed justified. You can't let others take risks and responsibilities after helping you!

We can't force Yao Xiong, but we need weapons to take over Qufu.

Thinking of this, Wei Wu was silent for a moment, and finally came up with a solution.

"Commander Yao, I know you have your concerns, but I can't help it. I have reasons why I must borrow weapons."

Based on their previous encounters, it can be seen that Wei Wu is a reasonable person, and Yao Xiong feels that he should not make things difficult for him.

As a result, this sentence now clearly meant to force him, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

But after all, he is in the officialdom, so he manages his facial expressions well and does not show his emotions.

But at this moment, Wei Wu spoke again.

"If Commander Yao is worried about His Majesty's reprimand, how about this: you go to the capital in person and explain the matter to His Majesty."

"Just say that I asked you for the weapon. Even if it gets out accidentally, I won't hold you responsible for it."

"in addition……"

Wei Wu wanted to continue speaking, but Yao Xiong suddenly raised his voice and interrupted him.

"Uncle Changle!!!"

Wei Wu was a little surprised to be suddenly interrupted by Yao Xiong, and the interruption was full of anger.

But at this moment, Yao Xiong spoke again.

"As the commander of a garrison, I cannot leave the camp without permission. It is also a serious crime for a general in charge of the troops to leave the camp without permission."

"As for the weapons, I can exclude the soldiers from helping with knives, but I cannot agree to lend you weapons."

While Yao Xiong was speaking, Wei Wu remained silent until he finished speaking. Then he slowly said:

"Commander Yao, I know you're very angry and anxious, but please don't be anxious. I haven't finished what I was saying just now, right?"

"I haven't insisted on doing this intentionally to embarrass you. In fact, our cooperation has been very pleasant over the past period of time."

"In fact, if you go to the capital, not only will you not be blamed, but you will be rewarded. I am here to bring you credit."

After hearing what Wei Wu said, the expression on Yao Xiong's face finally eased a little, and his furrowed brows loosened.

However, when he heard Wei Wu say that he was giving him credit, he was a little confused and couldn't understand what it meant.

At this time, Wei Wu saw that Yao Xiong had calmed down a little, so he spoke to explain his doubts:

"As the commander of a garrison, you cannot leave the barracks without permission. But what if there is something that requires your personal escort?"

Hearing this, Yao Xiong was stunned, but when he was about to ask, Wei Wu also spoke.

"I found the imperial seal in Rencheng."

"The Imperial Seal!!!"

Hearing these four words, Yao Xiong's eyes widened like copper bells and his mouth opened wide unconsciously.

"Yes, yes, it's that, that..."
