Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Chapter 1320

"So, Master Daoyan, can you now tell me what I want to know?"

Upon hearing Wei Wu's voice, Yao Guangxiao snapped out of his reverie and immediately spoke:

"Duke Zhenguo, there's no need to rush. Now that I'm in your hands, I'll tell you everything I know, but it's no use telling you now."

“The grasslands are too vast, and you don’t have a map of the area beyond the Great Wall, so I can’t mark the exact locations of those tribes for you.”

"The Ming general in this great battle is the Prince of Yan. He must have relevant maps. I will reveal them to him when the time comes."

Although I felt that Yao Guangxiao was stalling for time, I had to admit that what he said was true.

Even if he did have a map, he wouldn't be able to understand the land of this era.

What if Yao Guangxiao is spouting nonsense? It's better to bring him back; with Zhu Di present, we won't be fooled by this guy.

Thinking of this, Wei Wu simply nodded, saying with a teasing tone:

"Alright, then let's wait until we get back to the camp and have your old friend, His Highness Prince Yan, discuss this with you!"

"Amitabha!"

Yao Guangxiao didn't pay attention to Wei Wu's words, but simply put his hands together and chanted a Buddhist prayer.

Looking at his demeanor, Wei Wu's contempt was undisguised, and he then muttered a sarcastic remark.

"You fake monk, you believe in Buddhism but don't abide by the rules and regulations, you don't abstain from alcohol and meat, and now you're pretending to be devout, is that really necessary?"

Yao Guangxiao didn't mind these words at all and responded to Wei Wu with the same calm and collected demeanor.

“This humble monk does not believe in Buddha, because Buddha resides in this humble monk’s heart. Ordinary people need precepts to keep their minds pure, but this humble monk does not.”

“Even if there were no Buddha in this world, this humble monk would still be the same. So what the Duke of Zhenguo said is wrong. This humble monk has never pretended.”

Upon hearing Yao Guangxiao's words, Wei Wu pursed his lips and did not continue to dwell on the topic.

In ancient times, these bald men were all eloquent, each possessing a silver tongue, and Yao Guangxiao was the best among them.

When talking to someone like that, you just need to express your attitude; there's no need to argue, because you can't win the argument.

So after Yao Guangxiao finished speaking, Wei Wu ignored him and simply gave an order to Shen Lin.

"Shen Lin, continue what we were just about to do. After confirming, go straight back to the military camp to report to the Prince of Yan."

After speaking, Wei Wu turned to look at Zhang Hai, pointed at Yao Guangxiao, and said:

"Zhang Hai, your task is simple: take good care of Master Daoyan. If even a single hair on his head is missing, I will hold you responsible."

Although Zhang Hai has a carefree personality and can be shameless at times, that doesn't mean he's stupid; on the contrary, he's very smart.

Therefore, he knew what Wei Wu meant by those words and immediately responded:

"Young Master, please rest assured! I promise I will keep a close eye on the Master and won't let a single hair on his head fall!"

As Zhang Hai said this, he grinned broadly, making Yao Guangxiao's eyelids twitch.

After everything was arranged, Wei Wu ignored Yao Guangxiao and turned around to sit in the passenger seat.

At this moment, Shen Lin was already sitting in the driver's seat making preparations, while Zhang Hai was not idle either.

After Wei Wu and Shen Lin were ready, he immediately went to the cabin door and closed it to prevent any accidents from happening.

During this process, Zhang Hai was actually keeping an eye on Yao Guangxiao's situation, and he could react immediately if anything seemed amiss.

However, Yao Guangxiao did not intend to do anything reckless; on the contrary, he actually had a strong curiosity about helicopters.

He was very curious to know how this thing, made entirely of steel and so heavy, could fly into the sky.

So after Wei Wu left, his gaze remained fixed on Shen Lin, wanting to know what he planned to do.

If he weren't currently a prisoner, he would probably have already run behind Shen Lin to examine him closely.

Wei Wu noticed Yao Guangxiao's gaze, but he didn't care, after all, it was a helicopter.

People of this era cannot learn something just by glancing at it a few times, not even someone as intelligent as Yao Guangxiao.

Even with Wei Wu's help, Shen Lin still had to learn for a long time in the flight simulator before he could get the hang of it.

Then, under Yao Guangxiao's curious gaze, Shen Lin controlled the helicopter to slowly leave the ground and climb to high altitude.

Looking out the windshield at the distant scenery, Yao Guangxiao's curious and expectant gaze instantly turned into shock.

Even though I had seen a helicopter fly right in front of me, the experience of being outside and inside is completely different.

"Absolutely amazing! Absolutely amazing! There are such amazing things in the world that can soar so freely in the sky."

"I've traveled all over the world for many years, even overseas, but I've never seen anything like this before!!"

Overwhelmed by the awe-inspiring experience of being high in the air, Yao Guangxiao became completely immersed in the experience and began to murmur to himself involuntarily.

However, the very next second after he finished speaking, Zhang Hai, who was watching him from the side, suddenly chimed in.

"You've never seen one before, have you? That's to be expected. Only the young master has one of these things on the entire planet. Where would you even find one?"

"When the young master first met you, he wanted to recruit you, but you bald monk were too out of touch with reality."

"Not only did you refuse to bow down, but you also opposed the young master at every turn. If you had surrendered earlier, you would have seen this thing sooner!"

Yao Guangxiao didn't pay attention to Zhang Hai's tone of voice, but instead squinted at him.

"Then shall this humble monk surrender now?"

"Hey! Do you think I'm an idiot? You're just a prisoner now. Do you even have the right to surrender?"

Zhang Hai wasn't stupid either. He understood what Yao Guangxiao meant as soon as he finished speaking, and immediately retorted sharply.

Upon hearing this, Yao Guangxiao showed no anger whatsoever; instead, he glanced at Zhang Hai with some surprise.

Through a brief conversation, I tentatively labeled Zhang Hai as someone who was rough on the outside but meticulous on the inside, and got a general understanding of his personality.

But that's not important. What's really important is what Zhang Hai just said, which left Yao Guangxiao with a point he didn't understand.

Given the current situation, Yao Guangxiao abandoned his usual probing approach and directly asked Zhang Hai for advice.

"I don't know, what did you mean by Earth just now?"
