You were taken hostage, why pursue the Enemy's Empress?

Chapter 11 – Lies don't hurt people, but the truth is a sharp knife



This is something that cannot be said without offending anyone.

Suddenly, more than ten pairs of eyes gathered on Ying Wuji.

For nearly a hundred years, the Kingdom of Li has been steadily developing, with few wars occurring, making it the richest among the lords.

Without war reports to move people's hearts, the attention of the people naturally shifted to other places. The most eye-catching person this month was Wuji, the hostage from Kingdom Qian.

Originally, everyone regarded him as the Crown Prince of Kingdom Qian. Although his aptitude was not good, he rarely made mistakes in his work and was the only son of the King of Qian. After being a hostage for the country for more than ten years, becoming the Crown Prince was a matter of course.

Who would have thought that the King of Qian would suddenly have an illegitimate child who also awakened an ancient bloodline?

This Wuji quickly became a well-known poor soul.

Immediately after that, the poor soul gave up on himself and almost died in a woman's belly.

He was undoubtedly the focus of attention, and everyone wanted to see what this hostage looked like now.

But this hostage from Flame Kingdom was really not honorable. How could he poke someone's sore spot right off the bat?

But upon closer inspection, the hostility between Kingdoms Qian and Flame was well-known, and not fighting upon first meeting was already showing restraint.

For a while, everyone entered into the mode of watching a show.

Ying Wuji saw one of the suspects and naturally didn't let him off the hook, saying with a smile, "Young Master Su is indeed experienced. You can fight in the pavilion for three breaths before going to the bamboo garden to listen to Miss Juan Yu's music."

Hearing this, the bamboo garden burst into laughter.

"You!"

Ji Su's face turned white, and his lips trembled, squeezing out a lot of attribute points.@@novelbin@@

Ying Wuji rolled his eyes and thought to himself, why did this guy learn to mock people with such a low psychological threshold!

This "fighting for three breaths" has a story behind it. Although Ji Su's status in Li was not high, he was not less ostentatious than Ying Wuji, often going to luxurious places, especially brothels, where there was always a commotion in his room.

But one time, after getting drunk, he complained that the girl's service was not good enough and beat and scolded her.

As a result, the girl also had a temper and directly scolded him in public, "You only have three breaths, how do you want me to serve you? Every time I serve you, I get saliva all over me, and I have to shout until my throat is hoarse. I won't serve you anymore."

Then Ji's name of "three breaths" spread, but most people didn't dare to say it in front of him, because although this guy's status in Li was not high, he was easily angered and getting into trouble would always have a bad influence.

Ji Su's lips trembled for a while before he came back to his senses and angrily scolded, "Ying Wuji, you're spitting blood. I thought that although Kingdom Qian was barbaric, a prince should have some manners. I never thought you were such a vulgar person."

Ying Wuji replied, "What Young Master Three Breaths said is not false. I am also a barbarian!"

"..."

Ji Su choked for a moment, his face becoming more ferocious. "Ying Wuji! Are you looking for death?"

Ying Wuji said, "Young Master Three Breaths, please don't hold back!"

Ji Su's breathing trembled, "Are you going crazy because your life is too miserable? Do you believe that I can ruin all of Kingdom Qian's industries and make it impossible for you to even enter the bamboo garden?"Ying Wuji: "What a domineering third young master!"

Ji Su: "Huff... huff..."

【Hint】: When the target's emotional fluctuation value reaches 100, they will obtain the profound level technique "Flame Palm Technique" at the highest level.

Although there was no critical hit, it was still a profound level technique, which was pretty good. It turned out that when the emotional fluctuation value reached 100, the highest-level technique could be obtained directly.

Seeing this scene, the people present almost couldn't help laughing. They didn't have any position, after all, they were all locals of the Li Kingdom. They just enjoyed watching the two hostages from different kingdoms pulling each other's hair. What reason did they have to take sides?

However, Ying Wuji was too ruthless. Every sentence he said poked at the wound. Unexpectedly, after this incident, his personality changed so drastically. The hostage from the Qian Kingdom, who used to be well-behaved and gentle, was afraid that he would never be the same again.

Ji Su couldn't bear it anymore, and his joints made a cracking sound as he clenched his fists. His true energy was also stirred up, indicating that he was about to make a move.

But at this moment, a hand stopped him.

"Don't be angry, Young Master Su. There's no need to argue with him."

The person who spoke was a young man in brocade clothes. He looked like a scholar and had a warm smile on his face. Many people were surrounding him just now.

This person was the youngest son of the Prime Minister, named Luo Ming. Not only was he born noble, but he also studied under the famous Confucian scholars and sages. He was quite famous among the younger generation.

Luo Ming smiled at Ji Su, "Recently, Young Master Wuji has had a lot of ups and downs. It's normal for him to be more irritable. Why argue with him?"

Ji Su forcibly suppressed his anger and glared at Ying Wuji, "Brother Luo makes sense. Some people have gone crazy. I won't lower myself to their level!"

Ying Wuji shrugged, "Those who have gone crazy have stable energy, but those who are normal get their true energy in disorder. Young Master Su, do you know why?"

Ji Su turned his head and didn't want to answer him.

Bai Zhi saw that something was wrong. How could the Young Master not have a sidekick? She actively asked, "Young Master, please tell us!"

Ying Wuji shrugged, "Because... lies don't hurt people, but the truth is a sharp knife!"

Ji Su: "..."

【Hint】: When the target's emotional fluctuation value reaches 100, they will obtain the profound level technique "Flame Fist Technique".

The Ji family of the Flame Kingdom was proficient in both boxing and palm techniques. The Flame Fist Technique was the foundation of all advanced techniques in the Flame Kingdom's royal family. It was a secret that was not passed down outside. It was said that only those with the Ji surname of the Flame Kingdom could practice it. Unexpectedly, Ying Wuji had learned all of it. This... seemed to be something to write about.

At this moment, the people in the bamboo garden's eyes lit up. Unexpectedly, after Ying Wuji's transformation, his mouth was so poisonous. It was fun to watch.

Luo Ming saw that Ji Su was panting and gasping for breath, so he quickly pulled him back to his seat. Otherwise, the two hostages from different kingdoms would have fought today.

The crowd was a bit disappointed. They missed a good show.

However, Luo Ming stood up with a smile, "Lies don't hurt people, but the truth is a sharp knife. This statement sounds profound at first, but upon closer inspection, it is full of loopholes. If the truth is really a sharp knife, why did Young Master Wuji remain indifferent when Young Master Su mentioned the Qian Kingdom's industry just now?"

Ying Wuji was taken aback. Was he trying to argue with me while we were arguing?From Luo Ming's bright eyes, he smelled a hint of essence energy.

Wait! A disciple of a famous sage...

Isn't that the notorious Gangjing School?

Originally, Ying Wuji didn't like Luo Ming and wanted to argue with him because the Prime Minister's faction advocated opposing Kingdom Qian, and they would eventually have to fight with them. Since that was the case, it was better to insult him first.

But if Luo Ming was a Gangjing practitioner, it was another matter.

Because arguing with Gangjing practitioners was a waste of time. To shut them up, not only did you have to defeat them logically, but you also had to be physically stronger than them because there was no end to the art of arguing. Whoever argued first would lose. Such people were not to be trifled with.

Ying Wuji waved his hand. "Think whatever you want. Don't disturb me listening to the music."

With that, he took Wu Dan and Bai Zhiluo to sit down.

However, Luo Ming was persistent and followed them over, staring at Ying Wuji with a sharp gaze. "Young Master Wuji insulted me earlier, but now you're afraid to argue. This is too embarrassing for Kingdom Qian!"

Ying Wuji was uninterested. "I know an old man who is over 300 years old but still healthy. Do you know why?"

"Why?"

"Because he believes in a life motto."

"What motto?"

When you're just trying to make great content at bit.ly/3iBfjkV.

"Don't argue with fools!"

"I don't think..."

Luo Ming realized he was in the wrong and quickly changed the subject. "This is a wonderful saying, but I have a famous teacher, not a fool as you say."

Ying Wuji sneered. "I can see what you're thinking at a glance. Are you saying you're not a fool?"

Luo Ming's eyes brightened. "You say you can read my mind?"

"Yes!"

"Really? I don't believe you!"
