"Is that inappropriate?"
Ying Wuji was amused: "Master Xun, are you scolding me?"
No matter how good-tempered he is, he would get angry if he met someone like this.
What's more, he has a bad temper.
For a moment, the displeasure in his eyes was not concealed at all.
Xun Zhiyin felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by him. No matter how severely Ying Wuji's status was lowered, he was still a prince of a country, and the distinction between the superior and the inferior was an eternal iron law of this world.
In the past, Ying Wuji was humble to others, but after encountering drastic changes, he became autistic.
But now I have the feeling that he will quarrel with everyone he meets. It seems that when this guy goes out for a walk, every dog passing by will get slapped in the face, and the eggs on the street can be shaken into yolks by him.
Xun Zhiyin had been thinking of calling for justice, but when he saw Ying Wuji like this, his arrogance suddenly weakened a lot: "Of course I dare not blame you, but now the diplomatic relations between Gan and Li are very close, and neither can do without the other. Yet you held the Prime Minister's daughter hostage in public, which is really a bit..."
Ying Wuji asked: "What is it?"
Xun Zhiyin gritted his teeth and said, "This is a bit reckless! If the diplomatic relations between the two countries are damaged because of this, I am worried that you will become a sinner for all eternity!"
Ying Wuji glanced at him and said, "Lord Xun, what you mean is that the murderer harmed me and did not destroy the diplomatic relations between the two countries, so I killed the murderer instead?"
"That's not what I meant!"
"Whose intention is this? Is it from my father or your master behind you?"
“This, this, this…”
Xun Zhiyin was anxious: "What do you mean, sir?"
Ying Wuji snorted, "Of course you know what I mean. Lord Xun used to be servile in front of me, but now he even dares to criticize and scold me. I guess he has already found a new employer, right?
However, I still advise Lord Xun to recognize his situation. The Dagan territory is governed by law. If I kill you, I will have to pay with my life. But I am now a hostage and I have been living in Li for a long time and cannot return to Dagan. If I kill you, there will be no one to take me back and behead me! "
Xun Zhiyin: “…”
Cold sweat suddenly broke out from his forehead. He didn't expect Ying Wuji to be so cruel.
Although Bai Zhi is the only personal master left among Ying Wuji's, it would be difficult to kill him.
But... there are always times when people walk at night, right?
He quickly apologized with a smile, "Sir, you are joking. I am an envoy sent by Your Majesty to assist you in handling diplomatic affairs. I share your worries every day. We have been together for many years and have a deep relationship. How can you have the reason to kill me? Ha, ha ha..."
Ying Wuji smiled slightly: "It seems that Lord Xun is not stupid! Baizhi, let's go shopping!"
This old guy is really lame, his energy and spirit have all dropped a bit.
Bai Zhi nodded excitedly: "Yes!"
She didn't know why, but she felt that the young master was becoming more and more pleasing to her eyes in recent days.
Why didn’t I notice it before?
I was in a good mood and my steps became lighter.
But she had just walked a few steps out of the door when she found Ying Wuji stopped. She couldn't help but ask curiously: "Sir, what's wrong?"
Ying Wuji turned around and pointed at the door: "Look."
A group of people dressed as businessmen came to the gate of the embassy, but while other businessmen were dressed in brocade, they were wearing coarse linen. Although the styles were very similar, they looked even more shabby.
They all bent their waists slightly, asked the doorman to go in and inform them, and then waited humbly outside the door.
"They seem familiar."
Bai Zhi thought for a moment and said, "Aren't they from the paper industry? Why are they here so early today?"
Ying Wuji also recognized these people. They were merchants sent by Gan State to do business in Li State. It was also one of the means for Gan State to earn foreign exchange. Part of the embassy's funds came from this. Of course, the embassy would also protect the interests of the merchants through negotiations with the Li State government.
These people often enter the embassy, so they look very familiar, but in that era people generally looked down upon businessmen, so Xun Zhiyin was in charge of these matters.
He thought for a moment, then pulled Bai Zhi over and said, "Girl, let's go shopping for clothes in the afternoon. Let's rest at home in the morning."
"Um!"
Bai Zhi naturally had no objection and followed Ying Wuji obediently.
Seeing them arrive at the gate of the embassy, everyone saluted: "Greetings, Master Wuji!"
They had also heard about the recent turmoil, but it had nothing to do with commoners like them. Not to mention that Ying Wuji had fallen out of favor, even if Ying Wuji was demoted to a commoner, they would not dare to mock him.
Ying Wuji smiled and waved his hand: "No need to be polite, what are you doing standing outside?"
The leader said, "Sir, our company has encountered some problems and we would like to report to Lord Xun."
"Oh, report!"
Ying Wuji thought for a moment, then stepped over the threshold and waved at them: "Then why are you still standing there? Come in!"
Everyone was a little hesitant: "This... Lord Xun hasn't agreed yet."
Ying Wuji was a little dissatisfied: "The embassy is used to protect the people of Dagan who are away from home. Do you need to inform us when you come in? Don't just stand there. I have agreed. How can Lord Xun disagree?"
Everyone looked at each other and bowed to Ying Wuji: "Thank you, sir!"
After saying that, he followed Ying Wuji into the gate.
They had never had much contact with Ying Wuji in normal times, but they didn't expect him to be so kind. Although it might be due to his plummeting status, he was still easier to get along with than the arrogant Xun Zhiyin.
As soon as I entered the gate, I met the doorman.
The concierge frowned when he saw everyone: "Didn't I tell you to wait outside? Why did you come in on your own initiative?"
Ying Wuji waved his hand and said, "I let them in."
