Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Chapter 1076

Hearing what Zhang Hai said, Wei Wu's expression froze. He was about to say something but held it back.

Then he turned to look at Ma Baoguo and said in a calm tone:

"Ma Baoguo, I'll leave Bao Guanjiao to you. Take the man away! I have something else to do here, so I won't be going over."

"Yes, Lord Zhenguogong!"

Although Ma Baoguo didn't hear what Zhang Hai said, he knew that Wei Wu must have something important to tell him.

So he responded and immediately left with Bao Guanjiao, while Wei Wu also took Zhang Hai out of the prison and found a place where no one was.

"What happened? What do you mean His Royal Highness's life is in danger?"

Zhang Hai did not dare to hesitate for a moment and immediately began to explain:

"It's like this, young master. Just now, a man came to the inn. He said his name was Black Wolf and that His Majesty had sent him to find you."

Black wolf?

It’s the Jinyiwei secret envoy we met in Japan before!

If it was him, then the matter must be really serious, otherwise Mr. Zhu would not have sent him here!

Wei Wu thought silently in his heart, while Zhang Hai continued to say:

"Heilang didn't tell me the specific details. He only said that the Crown Prince's life was in danger, and that he could only tell you this in person."

Hearing this, Wei Wu quickly asked.

"Where's the black werewolf?"

"Outside, because I'm not sure of his identity, I don't dare to bring him directly to see the young master!"

Zhang Hai's caution was not without reason. After all, Heilang and Wei Wu met during the attack on the capital of Wa.

At that time, Zhang Hai had been on Japan's Kyukoku Island. He had never seen the appearance of a black wolf, so he was naturally cautious and vigilant.

After all, Wei Wu had just been assassinated last night, and Zhang Hai would rather be careful than give the enemy any chance.

Wei Wu understood this, so he did not blame Zhang Hai, but praised him instead.

"You are right to be cautious, but Black Wolf is indeed His Majesty's man. Go and bring him in!"

Hearing Wei Wu's order, Zhang Hai immediately nodded, then turned around and ran quickly out of the yamen.

Not long after, Heilang followed him in. After seeing Wei Wu, Heilang quickly saluted.

"Your humble servant pays respect to His Excellency the Duke of Zhenguo!"

"Alright, now's not the time for formalities. Tell me, what happened to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

Black Wolf did not dare to hesitate and immediately spoke:

"Sir, according to the news from the front, the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty launched a surprise attack, and the Datong Pass in Jin was breached that same day."

"The enemy army of the Northern Yuan Dynasty was wreaking havoc in Datong. When the imperial court received the news, the Northern Yuan Dynasty had already shown signs of advancing towards Taiyuan."

"The most important thing is that when Datong Pass was breached, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was in Datong. Now his life or death is unknown!"

Wei Wu knew that the situation in Jin must be very bad, but he never thought it would be so bad.

One of the nine important border towns of the Ming Dynasty, a key checkpoint for defending against the enemy, was actually captured by the Northern Yuan Dynasty in one day.

Is this reasonable?

Even if the Northern Yuan Dynasty launched an all-out attack without regard for the consequences, it would take at least several days to capture a key military town!

If there were no traitors here colluding with the enemy, Wei Wu would have swallowed up his own tank on the spot!

However, it is now a fact that the checkpoint has been broken, and the most important thing now is to find out what happened to Zhu Biao.

So after Heilang finished speaking, Wei Wu immediately started asking further questions.

"What do you mean by the Crown Prince's life or death is unknown?"

"According to the news from the front, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not captured by the enemy when the city was breached, but escaped with the help of his guards."

Hearing this, Wei Wu felt relieved. As long as he was not caught, he still had a chance.

And with the Impermanence Squad and the automatic rifles in their hands, as long as they are not surrounded, they have the power to resist.

Wei Wu then cheered up, while Heilang continued to tell his story.

"The Northern Yuan Dynasty hasn't announced that the Crown Prince has been captured, but half of the Jin territory has fallen and is in utter chaos."
