Chapter 1522
Meanwhile, on the other side, Wei Wu, in order to help Shen Lin get away from Zhang Hao, once again tried to attract his attention.
"Zhang Hao, there's something I don't understand. We've only had some minor disagreements; there's no deep-seated hatred between us!"
"According to what you just said, the person who attacked me with a musket last time was also related to you. Do we have such a deep grudge?"
Upon hearing Wei Wu mention his hatred for him, Zhang Hao's attention was instantly drawn to him.
"Hehe! You make it sound so easy! But that's true, as the Duke of Zhenguo, you certainly wouldn't take such a small matter to heart."
"But what about me?! I'm just a lowly Imperial Guard. Because you sent me back, I've become a disgrace to the garrison."
"You only said one sentence, but I have to endure being ostracized, isolated, humiliated, and even have my future completely ruined!"
At this point, Zhang Hao became agitated, glaring at Wei Wu and loudly questioning him:
“What wrong have I done? What have I done wrong? As a member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, anything that is detrimental to the court is within my duty.”
"Hearing people talking about the Imperial Seal of the State and even instigating a rebellion, I have reasonable suspicions. Is there something wrong with this?!"
"Why should I, who have diligently fulfilled my duties, suffer humiliation and ridicule, with my future ruined?!"
To be honest, Wei Wu originally just wanted to attract Zhang Hao's attention, but after hearing these words, he was speechless.
Was Zhang Hao really wrong?
As he himself said, it was perfectly reasonable for him, as a member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, to remain vigilant and suspicious upon hearing such things.
Even though Zhang Hao may have thought he could gain merit from this, to be fair, maintaining skepticism was indeed his duty.
That's why Wei Wu didn't make things difficult for him at the time; he simply sent him back to the capital, not wanting him to be around and annoy him.
Similarly, Wei Wu didn't think he had done anything wrong. Who would want someone who treats them like a thief to be around every day?
If we really have to say whose fault it is, then we can only blame this era, and the fact that human nature is such that people follow the powerful and favor the weak, and judge others based on their status.
Just as Wei Wu was thinking this, Zhang Hao spoke up again.
“When Zhang Hai and Shen Lin made mistakes, the emperor personally ordered them to be imprisoned. You can get them out with just a word.”
"But what about me! My future is ruined. I don't even have a foothold in the Embroidered Uniform Guard. Who has spoken up for me? Who has given me a chance?"
As Zhang Hao roared these words, he raised his hand and pointed to the location of Shen Lin behind him.
However, when he looked over, he found that there was nothing behind him, and there was no trace of Shen Lin.
Then Zhang Hao's gaze continued backward, and he saw that Shen Lin, who had been standing behind him, was now standing by the wall.
Meanwhile, Shen Lin, seeing that Zhang Hao had noticed his actions, jumped up on the spot without saying a word.
The members of the Impermanence Squad standing on the wall immediately reached out their hands, and with a simple touch, Shen Lin climbed onto the top of the wall.
Only then did Zhang Hao realize that he had been tricked. He turned around and glared at Wei Wu with gritted teeth and resentful eyes!
Zhang Hao knew very well that his last resort could only threaten two people: Wei Wu and Shen Lin.
These two people were closest to him, and if the explosives on his body detonated, he would immediately face the threat of the bone-corroding powder.
As for the members of the Impermanence Squad standing on the wall, they can avoid being harmed by the Bone-Corroding Powder by jumping off the wall.
Now, under Wei Wu's cover, Shen Lin no longer needs to worry about the threat of the Bone-Corroding Powder, so only Wei Wu's side remains.
Now Zhang Hao has no choice but to go. Coupled with the resentment of being played, there is only one path he can take.
