Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

"Yes, it's the imperial seal passed down by the First Emperor, inscribed with 'Mandate from Heaven, May You Live Long and Prosper'!"

It really is that baby!

After hearing Wei Wu's personal admission, Yao Xiong finally understood why Wei Wu had the imperial edict on him.

If they were sending people out to look for the imperial seal, then mobilizing not only 10,000 soldiers but even 50,000 would be reasonable.

Yao Xiong was thinking about it, but suddenly remembered what Wei Wu had just said, asking him to personally escort him to the capital!

"You asked me to escort it, but no, no, I can't. This treasure is too precious. I, your humble servant, cannot accept rewards without merit!"

"That won't do. I'm afraid you're the only one who can deliver this imperial seal. It would be harmful to you to stay in Rencheng."

Without waiting for Yao Xiong to ask, Wei Wu continued:

"I didn't come to Rencheng this time to look for the Imperial Seal. This is just an unexpected gain. I still have things to do next."

"But this matter is quite shocking. If you stay in Rencheng, you will be easily implicated. It would be more comfortable if you leave, and you can also make meritorious contributions."

Hearing this, Yao Xiong's heart suddenly tightened, and even his pupils shrank.

After all, Yao Xiong has become an official of a certain rank, so he still has some political acumen.

If the imperial seal was not the main purpose, then it goes without saying that what Wei Wu was going to do was definitely not something he could interfere with.

Don't even have a hint of curiosity, otherwise you will end up dead without a burial place.

Thinking of this, Yao Xiong immediately made a decision in his heart.

"I'll deliver it! Please rest assured, Lord Changle, I will deliver the Imperial Seal to Your Majesty even if I die. Is there anything you need my help with?"

"Weapons, about a thousand. Once I find a ship, it would be best if you could help me transport the weapons aboard quietly."

"No problem, I'll arrange it right away."

Yao Xiong agreed and immediately sent his personal guards to arrange the weapons issue.

At the same time, Wei Wu also took out the imperial seal and handed it to Yao Xiong.

"This is the Imperial Seal. Commander Yao, please keep it safe."

Looking at the brocade box in Wei Wu's hand, Yao Xiong froze instantly and stretched out his hand cautiously.

He held the brocade box in his palm, even holding his breath.

He was afraid that his breathing would be too loud and the brocade box would accidentally fall to the ground.

He didn't feel relieved until he placed the brocade box on the table and confirmed that there would be no problem.

Wei Wu's goal was achieved, the imperial seal was handed over, and Wei Wu did not stay in the military camp any longer.

After returning to Rencheng, I received news from Master Zheng and Shen Lin that the problem with the big ship had been resolved.

Four Fujian ships, capable of carrying 500 people, were docked at the canal pier.

In the following period, after curfew every night, Wei Wu would arrange for the believers to board the ship in batches.

There were no problems at the garrison, and all the weapons were packed and sent onto the ship.

After everything was ready, four large Fu ships set out from the port and sailed along the waterway towards Qufu.

The waterway to Qufu is different from that from Yangzhou to Rencheng. The waterway is not as wide as the canal and is relatively narrow.

Moreover, in some places, large ships cannot sail on their own, and there is no wind and the water flow is in the opposite direction.

The boat can only be pulled through those places by trackers, so it takes a lot of time to sail.

There are even cases where there are not enough trackers and boats have to queue up, and the wait time is very long.

Fortunately, Wei Wu set out from Rencheng in advance. Even though there was some delay on the way, he still arrived in Qufu before the Confucius sacrifice.

The big ship entered Qufu along the Qishui River. Although the Confucius sacrifice had not yet begun, the atmosphere was already there.

Many scholars can be seen along the two sides of the strait. If nothing unexpected happens, they should have come from other places to participate in the Confucius Festival.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang once ordered that the spring and autumn sacrifices to Confucius Temple should only be held in Qufu, and there was no need to extend the sacrifices to the whole country.
