Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Chapter 1415

Since they knowingly released the person, the emperor will surely punish them.

Therefore, in the mind of this secret agent of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, the life or death of Guo Huan was far less important than the safety of Wei Wu.

On the other side, Black Wolf understood what his companion was worried about, so he immediately spoke up to reassure him:

"Something happened? You're overthinking it. That guy can't even get close to the Duke of Zhenguo. Even if you give him a chance, it won't work."

"If he dares to show even the slightest murderous intent towards the Duke of Zhenguo, he will be killed immediately. Don't underestimate the Duke of Zhenguo's methods!"

"If you are still worried, I will personally report the details to the Duke of Zhenguo when Guo Huan is sent to the imperial prison later."

"And explain that it was my idea, so that even if something really happens, it won't involve you, don't worry!"

Upon hearing Black Wolf's words, the two secret envoys of the Embroidered Uniform Guard exchanged a glance, both looking somewhat ashamed.

The reason they questioned him like that wasn't to make Black Wolf take the blame, but rather because they were somewhat dissatisfied with his actions.

Since you know that person's purpose, you should tell them in advance, instead of explaining the reason afterward.

But now Black Wolf has said he'll take all the responsibility, leaving them speechless.

After a moment of silence, it was the Imperial Guard envoy who had questioned Black Wolf earlier who spoke up.

"Old Wolf, that's not what we meant. It's not that we want to distance ourselves, it's just..."

"All right!"

Before the secret envoy from the Embroidered Uniform Guard could finish speaking, Black Wolf waved his hand dismissively and said:

“We haven’t worked together for long, but I know your character. I understand that’s not what you meant, and neither did I.”

"I said I would personally report the details to the Duke of Zhenguo because I knew that the Duke of Zhenguo would not care about such a trivial matter."

Black Wolf's words were not just polite formalities; they reflected his true feelings.

Within the entire Embroidered Uniform Guard secret service, only Black Wolf and Wei Wu had contact for a period of time.

He had some understanding of Wei Wu's personality and way of dealing with people, which is why he dared to say such things to reassure his companions.

As for whether Wei Wu's safety will be threatened by the person who escaped, Black Wolf can only laugh a few times and say, "Go ahead."

The guy who escaped couldn't have lasted long against him. With skills like that, he dared to attack the Duke of Zhenguo. He was simply ignorant of his own limitations.

As one of the first people selected to be secret agents of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Black Wolf's skills and abilities were among the best in the entire Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Even so, when facing Wei Wu's guards, he could only manage a one-for-one exchange at most.

And the replacement was someone of the same caliber as a team member. If it were someone like Shen Lin, he probably wouldn't even have a chance to fight back.

The guy who escaped wanted to make a move against the Duke of Zhenguo, but he probably wouldn't even get close before that guy named Shen Lin crushed him with one hand!

But these were Wei Wu's personal guards, so Black Wolf couldn't just tell his two companions that they were guards.

That's why he said he would personally go to Wei Wu to explain the details, because he knew very well that Wei Wu wouldn't cause him any trouble because of this.

At the same time, he was able to clear up his companions' misunderstandings about him, and as it turned out, his actions did achieve their purpose.

The slight estrangement between the two companions immediately dissipated because of what he said.

The three of them then acted together, taking Guo Huan and the cripple in the room with them, and rushed to the imperial prison as quickly as possible.

However, just as they led their men into the gates of the imperial prison, they suddenly smelled a rich and fragrant aroma.

They couldn't quite describe the aroma, but they were certain it was food, because the smell made their mouths water.

Before the three secret agents of the Embroidered Uniform Guard could react, Wei Wu's extremely heroic voice came from inside the prison.

"Old Xie, what are you doing? Just grab your chopsticks and start eating! This is a hot pot, not a pot to watch over. What are you standing there for?"

"Hey, big brother, hurry up and scoop it out, don't cook it any longer. Beef tripe can't be cooked for too long, nine seconds at most."

"If you blanch the meat for too long, it will become tough and hard, which is not good. A smooth, crisp and tender texture is the best."

"And Lao Xie, stop standing there, hurry up and eat! The duck intestines on your chopsticks are getting cold. This is hot pot, not a cold pot!"

That's right, as everyone knows, Duke Zhenguo Wei Wu is eating hot pot in the imperial prison again, and he's not alone.

Besides him, there was Xie Dexin, a member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and Zhu Biao, the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty, who came specifically to see him.

The main reason was that Wei Wu was too bored. Although this was a prison, he was basically free here.

The problem is that being free on his own is useless; he has no one to eat, drink, or play with, so he'll eventually get bored.

So he simply invited Xie Dexin to eat hot pot together, and coincidentally Zhu Biao also came, so they simply added a pair of chopsticks.

The three of them were scooping food from the pot around the table, while Wei Wu ate and taught them how to eat.

Given Xie Dexin's status, he dared not eat at the same table as Zhu Biao, so he appeared somewhat restrained and awkward.

Fortunately, Wei Wu was there, otherwise he probably wouldn't have dared to even pick up chopsticks.

Meanwhile, the three men carrying Guo Huan, all of them were somewhat bewildered by the commotion coming from inside the prison.

They were also from the Embroidered Uniform Guard, so they were naturally familiar with the Imperial Prison, but now they felt that the Imperial Prison was very unfamiliar to them.

Filled with doubt, the three men carried Guo Huan and quickly entered the prison, soon arriving at the location where Wei Wu was.

The scene that came into view was Wei Wu standing on a stool, holding chopsticks and reaching into the pot to scoop out ingredients.

Zhu Biao, standing next to him, was holding a large piece of tripe dipped in sauce, and was about to put it in his mouth.

On the other side sat a somewhat reserved member of the Imperial Guard, who, like Zhu Biao, was also putting food into his mouth.

At first, Black Wolf and his two companions didn't react. But after they came to their senses, they were at a loss, unsure whether to stay or leave.

After a moment's hesitation, the three exchanged a glance, then bowed simultaneously to Zhu Biao.

"We, the three humble servants, pay our respects to Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

Zhu Biao had just put the tripe in his mouth and hadn't even started chewing when someone unexpectedly arrived.

This was a bit awkward. He had a mouthful of tripe and couldn't respond, but spitting it out would be too embarrassing.

Fortunately, Wei Wu spoke up at this moment.

"Hey, Old Wolf, it's been so long since we last met! Come on, come on, let's have some hot pot together and chat as we eat!"
