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

Basic Sword Technique: Stab?

Ying Wuji raised an eyebrow. This gray technique was on par with "Extremely Skilled in Autopsy Techniques". Although her swordsmanship was quite strong, was it too stingy to only give one basic sword move?

Just as this thought arose, the gray light ball quietly changed color, and the greenish glow suddenly increased by two levels.

【Reminder】: The basic sword technique "Stab" has obtained a critical hit, and upon upgrading, it will become the profound-level technique "True Explanation of Stabbing".

He felt a clear stream flow into his forehead, and his understanding of the stabbing sword move deepened out of nowhere.

Just one basic sword move, yet it was so exquisite and domineering!

Looking at Bai Zhi again, his gaze softened a bit.

However, this girl was muttering to herself as if she had lost her soul.

It seemed like the sentence "What will you do if I die?" had directly caused her to crash.

Ying Wuji lightly coughed.

Bai Zhi then snapped out of her daze and said seriously, "My life is for you.Young master!If you really died, I will wait until the truth is revealed and follow you to death!"

Ying Wuji: "..."

He was a bit touched by her words.

But seeing Bai Zhi hesitate to speak, he asked, "What else?"

After hesitating for a while, Bai Zhi said somewhat embarrassedly, "I want to finish the funeral feast before following you to death."

Ying Wuji: "..."

Bai Zhi rubbed her head in frustration. "But now you are not dead, so I can't eat the feast."

Ying Wuji slapped his thigh. "Sigh! Is this reasonable?"

No wonder she was being criticized.

Bai Zhi was stunned for a moment, looking at Ying Wuji with a puzzled expression. She felt that the young master seemed different from before. In the past, if she said something like this, she would have been scolded. Why was it different now?

As they were talking, many officials who had been waiting outside the courtyard appeared at the door.

Judging from their expressions, they were relieved as if their parents had come back from the dead.

They were all officials responsible for diplomacy in the Great Li. Although the strength of Kingdom Qian was not as good as before, under the leadership of King Qian, they were still among the top three in terms of combat power among the many lords.

Even if Ying Wuji was no longer favored, his death in Kingdom Li would still be a diplomatic accident.

Even if it was his personal reason, they would still be dismissed in large numbers.

It's good to be alive!

The one who rushed to the front was Xun Zhiyin, the diplomatic envoy of Kingdom Qian in Kingdom Li. He was in a hurry and grabbed Ying Wuji's arm as soon as he entered the room, tears streaming down his face. "Young master! You finally woke up. Your health is related to the diplomatic relations between the two countries. You must take care of yourself in the future!"

Huh?

Ying Wuji stared at his emotional bar, his eyebrows slightly furrowed. This person cried very emotionally, but his emotions were actually quite stable!

And this statement...why did it sound a bit off?

Before the incident with the illegitimate son of King Qian, Ying Wuji had always been treated like a prince. This dog was extremely obsequious. Now, he dared to label him as having a bad life style.

He gave him a cold glance. "So, if I was attacked by someone, it would be my fault?"

Xun Zhiyin looked puzzled. "What do you mean, young master?"

At this moment, Kingdom Li's diplomat Wei Qian stepped forward. "It's good that Young Master Wuji is okay. We were lucky to have avoided a disaster. I will report to His Majesty and ask for medicinal herbs to help you recover. In the future, the diplomatic relations between Kingdom Qian and Kingdom Li will still rely on Young Master Wuji!"

After speaking, he smiled at Ying Wuji.

One of the Nine Ministers personally came to comfort him, which was enough to save face.

Based on his understanding of Ying Wuji, he was always following the rules and putting national affairs first, especially in the current situation where Kingdom Qian and Kingdom Li were mutually beneficial. He would definitely not do anything that would affect diplomatic relations now. A little reminder, and this hostage should be able to endure it.

But unexpectedly...Ying Wuji snorted, "Lord Wei! Lord Xun has been plagued by hearing problems for many years, and if he can't understand, that's fine. But can't you understand? I almost died this time because someone attacked me. Instead of mentioning the capture of the culprit, you remind me to take care of my health?"

Now that the embassy of Kingdom Qian in Kingdom Li has had its funding reduced by half, a large number of important courtiers have been recalled to Kingdom Qian, leaving only the illegitimate child behind. All signs indicate that he is to become a discarded son of Kingdom Qian, drifting in a foreign land and encountering assassination attempts. If he doesn't fight back now, he will truly be at the mercy of others.

Given the current situation, neither Kingdom Qian nor Kingdom Li wants to provoke the other side. The one who was assassinated was just a hostage for exchange who was not taken seriously, and the wisest choice is to suppress this matter.

There may be a glimmer of hope in secretly protecting and investigating the killer, but it is absolutely impossible to make this matter public.@@novelbin@@

But Ying Wuji is not that cowardly hostage. The big picture is just a fart! Since you will definitely maintain diplomatic relations no matter what, I might as well be arrogant.

Why not take advantage of the restored relationship between Kingdom Qian and Kingdom Li and reap the benefits while you still can, before you end up with nothing to eat.

Upon hearing this, Wei Qian's face changed, and he didn't expect this hostage to be so reckless. He quickly smiled and tried to make amends, "Young Master must have misunderstood. When Young Master had an accident, the accompanying physician, Wu Zuo, had already checked and it should be Young Master's body itself..."

Ying Wuji interrupted directly, "As a victim, does this young master know less than Wu Zuo about the situation?"

Bai Zhi also echoed, "Yes! Our young master is as strong as an ox, how could he be exhausted by a few women?"

Ying Wuji: "..."

Stop fucking talking!

Wei Qian's face suddenly darkened, and his expression was very unsightly. Has this hostage taken the wrong medicine today?

Xun Zhiyin was also anxious and quickly pulled Ying Wuji aside, "Young Master! This will affect the diplomatic relations between the two countries. Regardless of whether it is true or not, even if there are really bad people who want to harm Young Master, as long as Young Master considers the overall situation, Kingdom Li will definitely send someone to protect you in the future."

"Heh, diplomatic relations?"

Ying Wuji cut him off, "If even the bad guys don't want to catch them, what's the point of talking about diplomatic relations? If I have done something wrong and have to live in fear of thieves for a thousand days, as a foreign diplomat, if you don't want to protect your own country's young master, then I'll slap you! "

Xun Zhiyin: "..."

His pupils dilated, and he couldn't believe that the once rule-abiding, humble and courteous Young Master Wuji was now so unscrupulous. For a moment, he even dared not look Ying Wuji in the eye.

Just as he was dazed, he was already pulled aside by Ying Wuji.

Ying Wuji looked at Wei Qian again, "Lord Wei! Now that Kingdom Qian and Kingdom Li are on good terms, there are still venomous worms hidden in Kingdom Li who want to destroy diplomatic relations. The top priority now is to root out these worms. Please don't slack off!"

Wei Qian's emotional bar quickly soared and soon broke through 80, and his essence, energy, and spirit all dropped by 3&6&4 points. Xun Zhiyin was also a bit overwhelmed and lost some attribute points.

The words had reached this point, so Wei Qian had to say, "Okay! I will definitely give Young Master a satisfactory explanation. However, there are demons and monsters near the capital now, and the Flying Fish Guards may not be able to spare any manpower in the next few days."

Ying Wuji smiled and waved his hand, "No hurry! There will always be a day when manpower can be spared. But Lord Wei is busy with government affairs, so it may not be easy to remember. I will send someone to remind you once a day!"

Wei Qian: "..."

Why is this hostage acting like a piece of meat on a chopping board now? Ying Wuji taunted him a few more times and found that it was not particularly difficult to break through the emotional bar beyond 80, but it was too difficult to break through 90. Everyone present also lost some attributes, but they couldn't lose any skills no matter what.

Since that was the case, there was no need to stay any longer.He bowed his hand and said, "Since that's the case, I'll leave this case to you all. I'll take my leave first!"

As he spoke, he pulled Bai Zhi's wrist and left the Flying Fish Guards.

Once outside the gate, Ying Wuji looked at the bustling crowd and felt a bit emotional. He had read many novels about transmigrating into a prince, but he had never seen anyone transmigrate into a hostage for exchange before. He really was a transmigration genius.

Lost in thought, he felt someone tug on his sleeve. He looked down and saw Bai Zhi looking at him curiously.

"Buddy, you seem different from before," Bai Zhi said.

Ying Wuji asked, "How so?"

Bai Zhi thought for a moment and said, "You used to despise me!"

I still despise you now.

Ying Wuji pursed his lips and asked, "Anything else?"

Bai Zhi became a bit excited and said, "Well...before, you were always so dull and mature in your actions, but now you're so domineering and mighty, just like your name."

"Am I handsome?"

"Very handsome! But why did you suddenly change?"

"Well..."

Ying Wuji looked up at the sky at a forty-five degree angle and took a deep breath. "Three days at the high-class brothel cured my mental exhaustion."
