Zhao Ji had no doubt that if he put Ying Wuji in the current situation three years later, as long as the survival of him and his woman was threatened, his first choice would definitely be to leave Li State and go to a safe place.
So...how can I keep him forever?
Zhao Ji rubbed his bearded chin and an immature idea popped into his mind.
But after thinking about it, this idea is a bit too immature.
He shook his head and got rid of the thought.
…
Ying Wuji originally wanted to wait for "Zhao Ling", but he waited and waited but no one showed up. He might have gone to report something to his father-in-law.
When I left the palace, most of the students from all schools had dispersed, so I had to go home alone.
But I never expected that after just a few steps, I saw a proud figure.
Okita Seiri!
wrong!
Mi Xingli!
That’s not right either!
Her name seems to be Mi Xingli. This name is really difficult to come up with.
Mi Xingli sat in a carriage with the Chu emblem and waved to Ying Wuji: "Brother Ying! Come in and sit for a while!"
Damn it.
Ying Wuji felt as if he had returned to the train station in his previous life. When he accidentally passed by a corner, aunties would greet him, “Handsome boy, come and play.”
So he walked over very skillfully and said, "Young lady, you haven't left yet?"
Mi Xingli was the only one in the carriage. The unlucky kid Xiang Ding was driving. Although he nodded politely at Ying Wuji, he didn't seem to have any intention of communicating with him.
Mi Xingli smiled faintly: "Aren't you waiting for Brother Ying?"
Ying Wuji waved his hand and said, "If you ask me what my father-in-law said to the masters in the side hall, I really can't tell you, because I fell asleep as soon as I entered."
Sleep, fell asleep?
Can you be more careful when you are fooling people?
Mi Xingli rubbed her brows. She really wanted to know what Zhao Ji had said to the teachers. Although those teachers said that they had not reached an agreement, she always felt that things were not that simple.
But Ying Wuji clearly couldn't speak, and he was blocked with just one sentence.
She smiled helplessly and said, "Sometimes, when I talk to Brother Ying, I really feel stuffy in my chest."
Ying Wuji glanced at her towering figure and couldn't help but curl his lips. "Even if you don't talk to me, you will feel stuffy in your chest, right?"
Of course, he would never say such tasteless words.
He smiled and said, "I am just a marginal figure in the Li royal family, and also a hostage of the Gan Kingdom, so I can't know too much. I may disappoint the young lady."
"That won't happen!"
Mi Xingli smiled and said, "I just saw that His Majesty King Li offered so many official positions, and I wanted to ask for an official position in Li State. I wonder if Brother Ying can help."
Still beating around the bush?
Ying Wuji thought for a moment and said, "I may not be able to help you as a proper official! But I heard from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that he wants to open a casino. I can introduce you to be a dealer. When the time comes, a beautiful dealer dealing cards online will probably give you a lot of commission!"
Mi Xingli: "???"
What a mess.
She finally understood that Ying Wuji was determined to carry on with his fooling ways.
At this time, Xiang Ding could no longer bear it: "How outrageous! The young lady is the daughter of the King of Chu, but she is only fit to work in your casino. Ying Wuji, you are too arrogant!"
Ying Wuji spread his hands and said, "I am just a small son-in-law, and you are asking me for secrets and asking me to introduce you to an official position. Aren't you trying to make things difficult for me, Ying?"
Mi Xingli smiled and said, "Since Brother Ying can't help, I won't make it difficult for you! But if possible, please tell His Majesty King Li about my wish. The reform of Li Kingdom has not even begun, but it has already been magnificent. I really want to be an official of Li Kingdom!"
"Um!"
Ying Wuji couldn't help but look at her again, and felt that her words were indeed sincere.
In that era, it was not particularly strange for members of the royal family to serve as officials in a foreign country.
But she was the most valued daughter of the King of Chu, and it was too outrageous for her to want to become an official in the State of Li.
Could it be that... you want to copy homework?
If you think about it, it's very likely.
He thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Don't worry, young lady. As long as there is a chance, I will convey your wish to His Majesty. If there is nothing else, I will leave first. If you are bored in Jiangcheng, you can come to my Shangmo Bookstore as a guest!"
"Sure! Thank you very much!"
Mi Xingli smiled and nodded, then made a gesture of invitation.
Xiang Ding watched Ying Wuji go away and could not help but snorted, "My lady, Ying Wuji is just a tool for the Gan-Li marriage alliance. Why did you go after him?"
Mi Xingli asked back: "Tool? Is it necessary for King Li to take a mere tool to the side hall?"
Xiang Ding retorted, "It's just that the King of Li wants to announce to everyone that the diplomatic relationship between Gan and Li is stable. After all, they are reforming the country, and it is very likely that they will need the military force of Gan to deter the Wei family. And I heard that the princess under the King of Li's knees has a lower status than ordinary princesses, so such a marriage will not be important no matter how you look at it!"
Mi Xingli shook her head:
"To intimidate the Wei family with force?"
"Do you think Gan Guo is so easy to talk to?"
"Gan Guo hopes that Li Guo's reforms will cause chaos within the country so that he can have a share of the spoils."
"If the reforms in Li are successful and Zhao completely annexes Wei and Han, then even if he is still very aggressive in his empire, he will never be able to leave the country in the future!"
"As for this marriage, do you really think Ying Wuji is just a tool to demonstrate diplomatic relations?"
Xiang Ding nodded: "Yeah!"
He felt that there was nothing wrong with Mi Xingli's first few sentences, but he really didn't feel that Ying Wuji had any ability.
