You were taken hostage, why pursue the Enemy's Empress?
Chapter 68 – Ying Wuji made a fatal mistake

Originally, Gongsun Di was filled with pride and excitement for helping Kingdom Qian win such a big deal through his own efforts.

Xun Zhiyin was also trembling with excitement because after Ying Wuji signed this hegemonic treaty, the future profits of Shangmo Bookstore would increase by at least 30% to 40%. This achievement couldn't be all credited to himself!

But then...

When they heard Ying Wuji say "My little goddess's bookstore," an unprecedented sense of disparity and panic enveloped them.

Isn't it your family's?

How did it become your little goddess's?

Who is the little goddess?

Hua Chao? That singer? The illegitimate daughter of the prime minister of Kingdom Li?

Gongsun Di's face became stiff. "What do you mean, Master Wuji? This bookstore... isn't it yours?"

"Of course it is!" Ying Wuji said confidently.

Gongsun Di was shocked. "You have such a big business, and you actually put it under someone else's name?"

Ying Wuji was a little impatient. "Of course! If I want to pursue her as my wife, I have to lick up to her! But thank you for your help today. When I get married, I will definitely invite you to the wedding!"

Gongsun Di was speechless.

Xun Zhiyin was already numb. He stood up and said, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! This bookstore is your life and death. How could you hand it over to someone else?"

Ying Wuji rolled his eyes and asked, "Without the determination to risk my life, how can I get my wife back? Are you crazy? But thank you for your help today. When I get married, I will definitely invite you to the wedding!"

Gongsun Di: "..."

Xun Zhiyin was trembling. "How is this possible, how is this possible..."

Ying Wuji was a little annoyed. "It is possible. You can go to the government office to check. I said Mr. Xun has been busy with the bookstore, and even specially took out the token given by the King of Kingdom Li. It moved me a lot. It turned out that you were crying at the wrong grave..."

"You..."

Xun Zhiyin's vision went black, and he almost fainted. After a while, he stood up with difficulty and said to Gongsun Di, "Don't worry, sir. Master Wuji may have lost his mind. I'll go to the government office first to find out!"

After speaking, he ran out of the bookstore and headed towards the government office.

[Reminder]: Target's emotional fluctuation value breaks through 90, and randomly obtains the Yellow Tier technique "Turtle Breathing Technique".

A trick of playing dead and holding your breath actually had some use.

Ying Wuji looked at Gongsun Di and found that this little brother's emotional bar had been maintained at around 80, providing a lot of attribute values, but it had not reached 90, so he couldn't steal the skill.

To be honest, Ying Wuji was both anxious and greedy, because the Earth Tier "Laws of Punishment" was really powerful.

But he also knew that he couldn't be impatient, because this thing was random. It would be difficult to get it with just one breakthrough of Gongsun Di's defense.

He asked, "Aren't you in a hurry?"

Gongsun Di regained his composure and smiled, "I just don't believe that Master Wuji is willing to entrust his life and death to others!"

Ying Wuji shrugged, "Shangmo Bookstore's new store is only two miles away from the government office. You'll see it later!"

Then he leisurely drank his tea.

After a while, Xun Zhiyin came back panting, his wrinkled face pale.

Gongsun Di quickly stood up. "What's the situation?"

Xun Zhiyin was almost crying. "The bookstore is all under Hua Chao's name. We don't have a single drop of it in Kingdom Qian!"

Gongsun Di: "..."【Reminder】: Emotion fluctuation value exceeds 90, randomly gain the Profound Stage spell "Imprisonment".

Concentrate mana to create a prison, unable to move until the prison is broken. It is quite practical with a stable control point.

Although it is not the prison law, Ying Wuji is already satisfied.

But Gongsun Di is a bit confused, looking at Ying Wuji in disbelief: "You, how can our Kingdom Qian have such an incompetent son? You actually entrusted your life and property to a woman?"

Ying Wuji shrugged: "Two heads can only have one leader. I have taken the lead, where is the intelligence, and where can I manage so much?"

Gongsun Di: "???"

"No, no!"

Xun Zhiyin was completely panicked, rushing to the store and commanding the borrowed staff from the paper shop. If the command didn't work, he would forcibly break into the account room.

In the end, he and Gongsun Di understood the situation.

Not only is the bookstore owned by Hua Chao, but even the paper in the paper shop is almost transported to the bookstore at cost.

The personal wages given to the paper shop staff by the bookstore are only a small part that can flow to the embassy.

Even Ying Wuji is just a pure worker, and his wages are half of the pure profit of Shangmo Bookstore.

He is probably the highest-paid worker in the world, but the embassy has no regulations that nobles cannot work for others, and has no right to confiscate the noble's wages.

After all...no one can imagine that one day a prince of a country would fall to the point of working to make money.

At this point, even a blind person can see that Ying Wuji is playing tricks.

"This..."

The big defense is broken.

Xun Zhiyin was sitting on the ground like a dead man.

Gongsun Di was also angry, staring at Ying Wuji: "Prince Wuji is really good at tricks. In order to avoid the embassy's jurisdiction, he actually did such a thing."

Ying Wuji snorted: "Originally, the paper shop and bookstore were all owned by Kingdom Qian. If it weren't for Mr. Xun's bullying and cheating in front of this prince, things wouldn't have developed to this point."

Gongsun Di's face was dark: "Has the prince ever thought about how this is different from stealing national assets and aiding the enemy?"

"Don't you dare to label me!"

Ying Wuji stood up and looked down at Gongsun Di: "This prince is working hard in a foreign country, but some dogs are hiding behind, doing evil and thinking about picking peaches. Now my bookstore's profits can match all of Kingdom Qian's industries in Li.

Give me the commercial seal, and I will have a way to make the bookstore fall under the embassy's jurisdiction again.

But if you want to wait for the peaches to be picked, I guarantee that you won't even be able to eat shit."

Gongsun Di's face was dark, and he didn't continue because he had already seen Ying Wuji's attitude. Continuing to argue here would not have any results.

He stood up: "Mr. Xun, let's go!"

Watching the two leave, Ying Wuji smacked his lips and drank a cup of cold tea, feeling comfortable all over.

Although the bookstore is good, he is more interested in the commercial seal because with the commercial seal, he can represent Kingdom Qian's official attitude and can also control all foreign trade resources of Kingdom Qian in Li.

Support us at .

If he had the commercial seal in his hand this time, even if Luo Yan had ten guts, he wouldn't dare to think of sealing the bookstore.

It's just a pity that it is impossible for Xun Zhiyin to abandon the dark and turn to the light, and he can only let King Qian Ying Yue give the order himself.

And the transmission symbol is blocked by Xun Zhiyin, and he cannot directly contact Ying Yue.But now it's fine.

After Gongsun Di went back, he would definitely report this matter to Ying Yue. As long as he could speak with Ying Yue, it shouldn't be too difficult to get the business seal back with the profits and achievements of the bookstore.

...

Outside the bookstore.

Xun Zhiyin's lips were bloodless, and he shivered, "Envoy, are you really going to report this to His Majesty?"

Gongsun Di nodded emotionlessly, "Of course!"

Xun Zhiyin's eyes darkened, "But if His Majesty knows about the situation of the bookstore, will he give the business seal to Young Master Wuji?"

"No!"

"No?"

Xun Zhiyin was stunned, but hearing his confident tone, it didn't seem like he was talking nonsense, so he couldn't help but ask, "But the bookstore's profit is remarkable. If all the merits are attributed to Young Master Wuji, how could..."

Gongsun Di waved his hand to interrupt, "That's because you don't understand His Majesty! Ying Wuji doesn't understand either. He thinks that by doing well in business, he can win His Majesty's favor and get the business seal, but he doesn't know that he has made a very serious mistake!"

Xun Zhiyin was a bit confused, "What mistake?"

Gongsun Di didn't answer, he just turned around and looked at the bookstore with a slightly heavy gaze.

It'll be great on Monday when the new chapter is released.
