Chapter 869
Chapter 869
"My husband has been away from home for many days. As a wife, I cannot be lazy. My job is to take good care of him."
"Actually, you don't have to be like this. Husband and wife should respect and love each other. You shouldn't be the only one making sacrifices."
Having said that, Wei Wu touched Zhu Yuxuan's head lovingly and said with a sigh:
"How did I marry such a good wife?"
Hearing Wei Wu's praise, Zhu Yuxuan wiped her mouth and a bright smile appeared on her pretty little face.
Afterwards, Zhu Yuxuan helped Wei Wu put on his clothes, and while she was getting dressed herself, she asked Wei Wu to wait outside the house first.
"You're already an old married couple, and have done everything before, so why are you still shy?"
After coming out of the room, Wei Wu walked to the stone table in the yard while muttering and sat down to wait.
But he had just sat down and his butt was not even warm when he saw Leah running in quickly from the courtyard gate.
It seemed that he was about to call for help, but as soon as he entered the yard, he saw Wei Wu, so he immediately trotted over.
"Good morning, Master."
"Well, long time no see, Leah."
Wei Wu nodded in response, but then asked another question.
"What's the matter with you coming here so early?"
The other servants might not understand it very well, but as Wei Wu's personal maids, Leah and the others knew it very well.
Wei Wu didn't like being woken up. As long as he was at home, he would basically sleep until he woke up naturally, and the maids would not disturb him.
Now that Leah suddenly came here, it was obvious that something had happened, and it was something very important.
This is indeed the case. After Wei Wu asked, Liya immediately explained the reason.
"Master, the Crown Prince is here to see you."
"Ok?"
Hearing what Liya said, Wei Wu was stunned. Didn’t he see her just yesterday? Why is she here again today?
Although I didn't understand what was going on, since my elder brother was here, I definitely couldn't keep him waiting for long, so I quickly got up.
"Liya, go inside and tell the lady, I'm going to the main hall to see my brother."
"Okay, Master!"
Liya responded and walked towards the house, while Wei Wu hurried to the main hall. As soon as he entered the house, he saw Zhu Biao drinking tea.
"Brother, why are you here?"
As he was speaking, Wei Wu had already come and sat down next to Zhu Biao.
Seeing Wei Wu, Zhu Biao smiled and said:
"I came to you because of the matter in Jindi."
"Have you and Mr. Zhu come to a conclusion?"
Wei Wu raised his eyebrows, took the teacup from the servant and took a sip, then turned around and ordered:
"No need to keep anyone waiting. Let everyone leave and don't allow anyone to approach this room."
"Yes, Master."
After receiving Wei Wu's order, the servant turned around immediately, and soon there was no one around the main hall.
After everyone had left, Zhu Biao spoke up and explained why he had come.
"I discussed this with Dad yesterday. I originally planned to send the Imperial Guards to handle it, but Dad vetoed it in the end."
After listening, Wei Wu thought for a moment, then asked tentatively.
"Because it's too sensitive?"
"That's right. The Jinyiwei was established too recently. Dad can't trust them with this matter."
Wei Wu nodded, knowing in his heart that Zhu Yuanzhang's concerns were correct.
Indeed, including the preparation time, the Jinyiwei has only been established for more than two years, which is indeed too short.
Loyalty cannot be fully guaranteed, and the affairs in Jin are too sensitive, so it is indeed not suitable to be handed over to the Jinyiwei.
Just as Wei Wu was lost in thought, Zhu Biao spoke again:
"Dad means that this matter must be handed over to someone who is trustworthy enough and who will definitely not leak the information."
"Well, that's exactly what should happen, after all..."
Wei Wu nodded again, but he paused halfway through his words, then turned his head with difficulty to look at Zhu Biao.
"Brother, you and Uncle Zhu, are you setting your sights on me again? I just came back not long ago."
"And I only stayed at home for one day, just one day, and I couldn't even warm up the kang. I haven't been married for that long!"
"My husband and I are living a life of hunger and starvation. Our Ming Dynasty is full of talented people. You can't always focus on me..."
Zhu Biao listened to Wei Wu talking more and more nonsense, and quickly raised his hand to interrupt him.
"Stop, stop, stop, stop! I didn't ask you to do this! Why are you so excited, you little brat?"
"Ah, it's not me. Oh, that's okay."
Wei Wu, who was extremely excited just now, immediately returned to his previous calm state after hearing these words.
While picking up the teacup to taste it, I also put two cakes in my mouth. It was so comfortable.
At this time, Zhu Biao also spoke again:
"You little brat, you have to thank me, your big brother. Dad originally wanted you to do this."
"I was your eldest brother and I argued with him, even sacrificing myself. It took a lot of effort to convince Dad to give up this idea."
Looking at Zhu Biao's affectionate expression when he spoke, Wei Wu had a look of suspicion on his face.
His elder brother has a deep understanding of this. As a veteran Tangyuan maker, he has often played double-act with Lao Zhu to trick him in the past.
Now he is so nice that he takes the initiative to stand up and go to Jin for him. Why does he not trust him?
"Brother, is this really what you asked Uncle Zhu for?"
"Of course. I'm your eldest brother. How could I lie to you, Xiao Wu? You don't believe me? What about our brotherhood?"
Although Wei Wu still felt something was wrong, since he was told not to go, he didn't bother to think about it too much.
"Okay! Since you're the one going, big brother, why did you find me?"
Seeing that Wei Wu was no longer bothered by the previous question, Zhu Biao quickly turned the topic to business.
"I just need your help! This time when I go to Jin, I need some trustworthy and skilled people."
"I have people I can trust, but they're not very skilled, so I came to you, Xiao Wu, to borrow some."
"If we talk about the best fighters in the Ming Dynasty, I'm afraid it's only your Impermanence Squad."
It turns out you want to borrow someone!
After hearing what Zhu Biao said, Wei Wu didn't think there was anything wrong with it. His own Wuchang Squad was just so awesome.
So after Zhu Biao finished speaking, he immediately nodded in agreement.
"No problem, big brother. I'll leave Shen Lin and Wei Shiyi behind and let the others follow you to Jindi to do business!"
"I knew you wouldn't refuse. By the way, let them bring their weapons too."
