You were taken hostage, why pursue the Enemy's Empress?
Chapter 72 – Deliver message, father and son meet

For a moment, the Qian Kingdom embassy was in chaos.

According to Qian Kingdom's laws, in the territory of another country, this kind of situation should indeed be judged by the embassy, and the person who should judge it should be the highest-ranking official of the embassy or the law enforcer. Gongsun Di, as an elite of the Legalist school and an official of the delegation, could be considered to have followed the procedure for the trial.

But Ying Wuji insisted that Gongsun Di was not an official of the embassy because he did not have an appointment letter from the embassy, so he did not count as a person from the embassy.

Find the original at ".

Gongsun Di also could not argue, because if he insisted on being strict, it was indeed somewhat against the procedure.

He never expected that Ying Wuji would actually have such a deep understanding of Qian Kingdom's laws. Many Legalist scholars might not be able to find such loopholes in the details, so how did Ying Wuji find them so quickly?

Seeing that Ying Wuji was about to beat Gongsun Di and Xun Zhiyin, many people came over to persuade him.

But Ying Wuji had a big flaw, he never listened to advice!

The guards dared not take action, so Ying Wuji snatched the whip and let Bai Zhi hold the two men down, and he whipped them with satisfaction.

Xun Zhiyin was beaten until his skin was torn apart and he cried out for mercy.

Gongsun Di was also whipped enough, large beads of sweat continuously seeped out, and his face turned pale, but he was quite tough. He didn't make a sound from beginning to end.

After the fifteen lashes prescribed by the law were finished, he raised his head and looked at Ying Wuji, forcing a smile at the corner of his mouth: "I didn't expect Young Master to have such a profound understanding of the law. I admire and respect you!"

Ying Wuji sneered, everyone knew that the methods to make big money were written in the criminal law. Since the day he planned to monopolize Qian Kingdom, he had thoroughly studied the relevant laws of Qian Kingdom.

He ignored Gongsun Di and looked at the shopkeeper and the shop assistants of the paper shop: "I apologize to all of you! Today, a dog took the opportunity to bite people while I was away, causing you to suffer some injuries. Each of you can go to Bai Zhi later to receive twenty taels of silver for recuperation.

Don't worry about the law, even if someone with ulterior motives finds a loophole to attack, I will stand in front!

Go back now, I will come to apologize another day!"

The shopkeeper and the shop assistants looked at each other and felt tears welling up in their eyes.

"Young Master, please don't blame yourself. This matter is not your fault!"

"Thank you, Young Master!"

"Young Master, rest assured, we don't blame you at all!"

Although Bai Zhi felt a little distressed, she still took out the silver from the room and distributed it to them one by one, then hired a carriage to send these people back to the paper shop.

Only then did Ying Wuji look at Gongsun Di: "If Lord Gongsun wants to judge them, you can request a transfer order from the court. I will be waiting at any time."

After that, he snorted and left directly.

Gongsun Di stood slightly hunched, afraid of touching the wounds on his back and buttocks, but his expression did not show any anger.

Xun Zhiyin gritted his teeth and said, "Lord Gongsun, he is really too much."

Gongsun Di shook his head, "I didn't expect Young Master Wuji to have such a deep understanding of the law. We did deserve the beating. Upon careful consideration, we were indeed too hasty. However, His Majesty has already been informed of the situation at the bookstore, and it won't be long before he personally rebukes Young Master Wuji with a transmission symbol."

...

After leaving the main hall, Ying Wuji went straight back to his own courtyard.

He had enjoyed the thirty lashes just now, but it was only a moment of pleasure. The actions of Gongsun Di and Xun Zhiyin just now conveyed a signal that made him quite uneasy.

Zhao Ning smiled, "Brother Ying, it seems that your situation is not good. Do you need my help?"

Ying Wuji twitched his mouth, "Help? What help? Help persuade the King of Li to release me as a hostage and then let the two princes of Qian Kingdom fight each other to weaken the country's strength, so that your Li Kingdom can continue to sit back and relax? Brother Zhao, we are like brothers, don't think of plotting against me!"

Zhao Ning didn't expect him to be so calm and couldn't help but laugh, "These little tricks can't hide from Brother Ying. But I still advise Brother Ying to consider. Brother Ying is sincerely loyal to Qian Kingdom, naturally not wanting to weaken the country's strength. But Brother Ying has also seen it, now Ying Wuque is so arrogant and domineering, if you don't fight back, I'm afraid it won't end well. The motherland is precious, but life is even more valuable!"

Ying Wuji sneered, "You are a cunning person, your schemes are written all over your face."

Zhao Ning smiled and asked, "Can it still be called a scheme if the strategy is laid out in plain sight?"

Ying Wuji shook his head, "I see that you are well-informed. You should also know how popular Ying Wuque is in Qian Kingdom. Except for my clan, there are probably not many who don't want to get close to him. What's the difference between me going back now and finding death? "

"That's true. After all, the awakening of Zhuan Xu's bloodline is really too powerful. From the perspective of cultivation alone, Ying Wuque's lower limit is the same as Ying Yue's current height, and the upper limit... it's not impossible to reach the Saint level, and even have the qualifications to pursue higher realms."

Even if Ying Wuji has the support of Li Kingdom behind him, and even develops a huge treasury in Li Kingdom, it is impossible to win against Ying Wuque. Unless his cultivation progresses rapidly and his cultivation level directly reaches the second-grade Spiritual Embryo or above, and with the conditions mentioned earlier, there is a possibility of competing with Ying Wuque. Unfortunately, his talent for cultivation is really poor.

This situation is quite tricky. Regardless of whether it is from a genuine standpoint or a national policy standpoint, she really wants to help Ying Wuji but can't.

Ying Wuji, on the other hand, secretly thought that he could consider Zhao Ling's suggestion. After all, he didn't know the upper limit of his own strength. He could consolidate his position with the help of the Li Kingdom royal family, and then in the end, he could surprise everyone by breaking through to a Spiritual Embryo rank higher than the first-grade, and overthrow Ying Wuque to ascend the throne of Qian Kingdom. It wouldn't be difficult.

But... there are two problems.

One is that he himself doesn't really like dealing with power. Isn't it more beautiful to live a carefree life after his strength and wealth reach a certain level?

The second is... it's too slow. He has been working so hard for such a long time, but his essence, energy, and spirit have not broken through the eleventh level. The attribute points required for the next level are definitely increasing exponentially. When will this damn thing end?

This kind of thing... can be discussed later!

The two chatted for a while, and then the door of the courtyard was knocked.

Ying Wuji frowned and asked, "Who is it?"

A voice came from outside the door, "Young Master! His Majesty has used a transmission symbol to summon everyone in the embassy to listen to the announcement. It is in the main hall of the embassy. Young Master, please come quickly!"

"Understood!"

Ying Wuji took a deep breath and stood up. It was within his expectations that Ying Yue would use a transmission symbol.

But after experiencing what happened just now, he realized that the development ahead might not be as smooth as he had previously thought.

But he wasn't afraid. No matter what, his bottom line was to get the commercial seal back. Otherwise, his development in Li Kingdom would still be restricted in many ways.

Zhao Ning followed him.

She looked at Ying Wuji's gloomy expression and inexplicably felt sorry for him.

But she was still more curious about what choices Ying Wuji would make in the face of this situation.

The hall was already filled with people, and everyone respectfully bowed.

A light and shadow floated in the air in front of everyone, and in the light and shadow was a middle-aged man with a majestic appearance.

Even though it was just a projection, the aura it exuded was awe-inspiring.

Ying Wuji walked up to him in big strides and bowed, "Father, King!"

Ying Yue looked at Ying Wuji for a long time, and his calm face did not show any joy or anger.

After a long time, he uttered two words without any emotional color.

"Very good!"
