Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Chapter 1482

The teacher's words only lingered in his mind for a second before being dispelled by the White Lotus Taoist shaking his head.

"A hot potato, perhaps! But if I don't take on this hot potato, how can I avenge what happened back then!"

"The techniques you taught me may be impressive to others, but they are far from sufficient for Wei Wu."

“His methods are more mysterious than you imagine, and he enjoys the emperor’s deep trust. I can’t do anything on my own.”

"But if I had people from the White Lotus Sect, at least I would have help when I want to do something, instead of being all alone!"

As he muttered to himself, the White Lotus Taoist regained some strength and was able to help him climb onto the bed.

Lying on the bed, the White Lotus Taoist stared blankly at the gauze curtain above his head, his gaze gradually sharpening.

"Since I chose this path, I will not regret it! Wei Wu, you are indeed very good, you win this round."

"But as long as I'm alive, I will definitely settle all scores with you for the old grudges and the new hatreds of today!!"

As he spoke, the White Lotus Taoist extinguished the tinderbox in his hand, leaving only his resentful voice echoing in the room.

Time flies, the stars and moon shift, and the short night quickly passed.

Following Wei Wu's instructions from the previous night, Zhang Hai arrived at the Five Cities Military Command early in the morning to greet them.

After all, in addition to searching the city gates, the Five Cities Garrison also needed to send people to monitor the pharmacies in the city.

However, it must be acknowledged that things in this world do not always unfold exactly as people imagine.

Wei Wu had no idea that the White Lotus Taoist not only treated his own gunshot wound, but also had his own medicine cabinet.

Therefore, the arrangement of having people keep watch around the pharmacy completely lost its intended effect on Bai Lian Dao Ren.

After greeting the Five Cities Garrison, Zhang Hai rushed to the Embroidered Uniform Guard headquarters to find Mao Xiang.

"Commander Mao, I am here on the orders of the young master to ask for your help. I need your cooperation."

After meeting Mao Xiang, Zhang Hai didn't waste any words and directly stated his purpose.

Mao Xiang was also curious about what Wei Wu wanted to do, so he immediately responded in a questioning tone.

"Help? I wonder what the Duke of Zhenguo needs my assistance with?"

"It's very simple. Thoroughly investigate all the Imperial Guards who failed to report for duty today. Find out who was absent and what their reasons were!"

After Zhang Hai finished speaking, Mao Xiang not only didn't understand, but was even more confused.

If it were any other matter, Mao Xiang's cooperation would have been fine, but Wei Wu specifically wanted to check the attendance records of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

To put it bluntly, this is tantamount to interfering in the affairs of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. After all, the Embroidered Uniform Guard is the emperor's personal guard, and not just anyone can act recklessly.

Of course, Wei Wu was not included, and Mao Xiang was not dissatisfied with this; he was just curious about Wei Wu's reasons for doing so.

Zhang Hai knew that Mao Xiang had doubts, so before the other party could ask, he spoke directly:

"Commander Mao, the thing is, recently..."

Next, Zhang Hai recounted to Mao Xiang the whole story of how he had possessed Master Zheng's body during this period.

Upon hearing that the White Lotus Daoist was in the capital, Mao Xiang's expression immediately turned serious; this was no small matter.

The White Lotus Taoist is the leader of the White Lotus Sect. His appearance in the capital might very well be aimed at the imperial court and the emperor.

However, just as Mao Xiang became more vigilant and continued to listen, Zhang Hai began to talk about their speculations about the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

They heard that there might be a traitor within the Embroidered Uniform Guard, or that someone had been impersonated, and that this person was none other than the White Lotus Taoist.

Mao Xiang's face instantly darkened. This wasn't coming for the court and the emperor; it was clearly coming for his life.
