Chapter 877
Unfortunately, he didn't know that he was now thinking about how to start the conversation so that Zhu Di could speak.
To be honest, he really doesn't like that kind of witty remarks. It's too troublesome to be secretive when saying something.
So after a brief hesitation, he decided to be more direct and speak frankly.
"Fourth brother, do you know anything about Yao Guangxiao?"
Zhu Di, who had just finished his meal and was quietly cleaning his teeth with his tongue, became secretly alert when he heard Wei Wu's words.
Of course Yao Guangxiao knew about it, after all, the monk had specifically looked for him before, and had expressed that intention in both explicit and implicit ways.
He had never told anyone about this, including his beloved wife Xu Miaoyun, but now Wei Wu told it out.
Before this, Wei Wu had never invited him to dinner alone, but today he happened to invite him to a family dinner.
Now that he brought up this matter again, how could it be such a coincidence? It was obvious that he was targeting me.
So, after Wei Wu finished speaking, Zhu Di was silent for a while before he raised his head and said slowly:
"Yao Guangxiao, of course I know him. Some time ago, my father sent people to capture this person, but in the end, they found nothing."
"Xiao Wu, you suddenly asked about this monk. Did you find a clue about him and want my help?"
If it were anyone else, he would probably have been fooled by Zhu Di, but Wei Wu was not anyone else, nor was he an ordinary person.
Looking at Zhu Di pretending to be stupid, Wei Wu slowly shook his head.
"Fourth brother, since I invited you to my house, you should understand what I mean. There are no outsiders here, so you don't have to do this."
"Let me be honest with you! Big Brother just left not long ago before you came here. Why do you think I asked you to come?"
After hearing Wei Wu's words, Zhu Di was silent for a long time before he spoke:
"Xiao Wu, Fourth Brother, I don't understand what you mean."
"As for Yao Guangxiao, I'm only referring to him as a person. It has nothing to do with you, Fourth Brother."
Having said that, Wei Wu suddenly stopped and looked at Zhu Di. He paused for a long time before continuing:
"I know Yao Guangxiao has been looking for you for a long time, and he even told you that he would give you a white hat. Was I right?"
When Zhu Di heard the three words "white hat", he stiffened instantly and all the muscles in his body tensed up.
Anyone who can read knows that King Baijia is equal to the emperor. Now that Wei Wu has specifically said it, how can he not be nervous?
Others may not know, but he knows very well that Wei Wu's position in his father's heart is even closer than that of his own son.
If General Wei told this to his father, Zhu Di couldn't imagine what he would face.
Just when Zhu Di was in a state of confusion, he heard Wei Wu's voice again.
"Fourth brother, you don't need to be so nervous. I came to you this time just to ask you something. Everything will be fine after I ask you."
Zhu Di took a deep breath, sorted out his emotions, and then asked:
"What do you want to ask?"
Wei Wu smiled slightly, spread out his hands and asked bluntly:
"I want to know whether he gave this white hat to Fourth Brother, and whether you accepted it."
Zhu Di looked at Wei Wu but did not speak and fell into silence again.
Did Yao Guangxiao give the hat as a gift? The answer is yes. Did Zhu Di accept the hat? The answer is yes.
If it were in the past, he knew that he would be moved, and even if there was no chance, he would have those inappropriate thoughts.
After all, that is the throne. Throughout history, no ambitious person has been able to resist the temptation of this seat.
Zhu Di believed that he had great talent and ability. Even if he saw no hope for the time being, he would not choose to accept his fate, but would wait.
If there really is no chance, then he can just wait it out in this life, but if the opportunity comes, he will never let it go.
