Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Chapter 1273

Mu Ying couldn't refute Wei Wu's statement, after all, Wei Wu's achievements were undeniable.

Even though Mu Ying remained stationed in Yunnan and did not return to the capital, the court announced to the world when Wei Wu was enfeoffed as a Duke.

Wei Wu's brilliant achievements in Japan have basically spread throughout the entire Ming Dynasty.

To be honest, Mu Ying didn't believe it when she first heard about it, after all, such an exaggerated record was really hard to believe.

But Mu Ying also knew that the court would not speak carelessly about such matters, and if it were false, the civil and military officials would definitely stop it.

Therefore, even though Wei Wu's battle record was exaggerated, Mu Ying still believed it in the end.

However, despite his belief, given the current situation in Yunnan, Mu Ying still wouldn't agree to let Wei Wu stay.

First and foremost, there was the bond of gratitude. The Zhu family treated Mu Ying like their own child, and Mu Ying, in turn, regarded the Zhu family as her own relatives.

When Wei Wu offered medicine to save Xiong Ying from critical illness, he also protected Empress Ma. Later, he risked his life to save Zhu Biao from danger.

As Zhu Jia's adopted son, Mu Ying was also grateful for these favors, which is why he was so enthusiastic towards Wei Wu.

Secondly, Cao Cao's existence was extremely important. Steamships, new firearms, and railways were all crucial to the development of the Ming Dynasty.

In Mu Ying's view, he would rather die in battle in Yunnan than suffer any loss to Wei Wu!

Therefore, even though Wei Wu said those words and he knew about Wei Wu's achievements, he still refused.

"No, Xiaowu, I know you've done something extraordinary in Japan, but even so, I can't let you take the risk."

"In this battle, the chieftains have deployed their cavalry and war elephants in full force. Just by looking at their strength, you can tell how dire the situation is."

"Siam is stronger than Annam, and will send even more troops. Unfortunately, our 20,000 garrison troops are infected with the plague and unable to fight!"

"How can you single-handedly deal with tens of thousands of elite troops? Besides, there's a plague over there. What if you get sick too?"

After hearing Mu Ying's words, Wei Wu slowly shook his head and said with a smile:

"Who said I came alone? I had a bodyguard with me this time in Yunnan! With his help, that's enough for me."

"Nonsense!"

As soon as Wei Wu finished speaking, Mu Ying gave a light shout, then said with a serious expression and solemn tone:

"There are only two of you. How can you possibly stand against tens of thousands of elite troops? Xiao Wu, war is not child's play. I'm in charge of this matter!"

Although Mu Ying scolded him, Wei Wu understood that she was worried about him, and he was not someone who couldn't distinguish between good and bad.

So after Mu Ying finished speaking, Wei Wu immediately smiled and offered an explanation.

"Brother Mu, no matter how many troops the enemy has, as long as they can't reach me, that's fine, unless they can fly."

Hearing Wei Wu's words, Mu Ying knew that he was still unwilling to give up, and she immediately frowned.

However, before he could speak, Wei Wu spoke first:

“Brother Mu, as you know, I was in Qiongzhou before I came to Yunnan, but what you don’t know is that it only took me one day to get here from Qiongzhou.”

"This is impossible!!"

Upon hearing Wei Wu's words, Mu Ying instinctively retorted, saying that such a thing was impossible for him.

Although he knew about the railway built by the imperial court and that the trains were very fast, the railway did not extend to Qiongzhou and Yunnan.

Wei Wu knew that explaining was useless, so he simply said nothing and pulled Mu Ying out of the military tent to find Shen Lin.

The three of them then found a deserted open space and, in front of Mu Ying, took the helicopter out of the system warehouse.

Previously, Wei Wu had to hide things when taking items from the system warehouse, but now he no longer needs to worry about that.

He completely discriminates based on who he approves of; he openly displays his talents to those he approves of, while keeping those he doesn't like hidden away.
