[Hint]: When the target's emotional fluctuation value exceeds 90, you will randomly obtain the ordinary-level technique "Basic Sword Move: Block".
[Hint]: If the ordinary-level technique "Basic Sword Technique: Block" achieves a critical hit, it will be promoted to the mysterious-level technique "True Explanation of Block".
Um?
Ying Wuji lowered his head and saw Bai Zhi with her eyes slightly glowing, and he felt inexplicably excited.
I haven't even used any strength yet and you lost it?
It is very difficult for other people's emotional bar to make any progress after it breaks through 80, but it is different for her... this personal maid is really a treasure.
He rubbed Bai Zhi's head and said, "Let's go home!"
"Um!"
Bai Zhi nodded, and the two left side by side.
The corpse came too suddenly, and there was no time to prepare a carriage, so they could only leave on foot.
When passing by a small alley, Ying Wuji stopped.
"Sir?"
"Wait a moment!"
Ying Wuji walked straight towards the alley and saw Wu Shuangxu leaning against the wall with a sword in his arms. He must have been waiting for a while.
He frowned slightly and asked, "You didn't tell the officials about this conspiracy?"
Wu Shuangxu shook his head: "I told him, but Wei Qian said that this was just an excuse you made up to save face, so he didn't let me go."
Ying Wuji's expression eased a little: "But you are still waiting for me here, do you believe me?"
Wu Shuangxu had a blank expression on his face: "I believe in my judgment. With your physique, it is absolutely impossible for you to die from a stroke!"
"Can you help me investigate?"
Ying Wuji didn't believe Wei Qian, and even less so Xun Zhiyin. Moreover, the murderer was very secretive this time. If they were really handed over the investigation to them, they would most likely end up with a compromise.
It doesn’t matter whether Ma Shangfeng has a bad reputation or not, but the murderer must be caught, otherwise he will not be able to sleep.
On the contrary, it was Wu Shuangxu who made him feel that he might be reliable.
Wu Shuangxu nodded: "Yes!"
So simple?
Ying Wuji was a little surprised: "But if you really find out something, it may affect the diplomatic relations between the two countries. Aren't you worried about being blamed?"
Wu Shuangxu shook his head: "Those who practice Taoism emphasize following the will of heaven. Now that I have come down the mountain to Feiyuwei, I should punish evil and promote good to find the truth. As for diplomatic relations, it is a game played by those who scheme for power and has nothing to do with me."
She looked calm from beginning to end.
Ying Wuji couldn't help but look at her with admiration: "Thank you, Miss Wu, but the situation this time is too strange, and I am a little confused."
After all, I am not a professional, so I have to see what Wu Shuangxu says.
"Don't worry, just listen to me!"
"this……"
Ying Wuji subconsciously took a step back: "Don't tell me I have to cut it again?"
Wu Shuangxu also thought of the scene in the coroner's room just now. His face froze and his emotions fluctuated slightly.
She shook her head and handed Ying Wuji a porcelain bottle. "Your Qi and blood were stagnant at the time, so I couldn't test for poison without cutting. But since you've woken up, when you go back, pour the Huilong Soup into your body and send it to me. If someone really put a poison on you, I can use medicine to test it out. You should rest for a few days first, and when you recover, please help me investigate the case."
After saying that, he hurriedly left the alley.
Ying Wuji glanced at the porcelain bottle in his hand and thought that these Taoists were quite professional and could even do a urine test.
Bai Zhi asked curiously: "Sir, what is Huilong Soup?"
"This... don't worry about it, just know that I have it, young master."
"How come I don't know?"
Bai Zhi circled around Ying Wuji, looking at him like a curious baby: "I am the one who takes care of all the things of the young master! Where is it? Where did the young master hide the Huilong Soup? Let me see it."
Ying Wuji choked and rubbed her head: "It's not the time to see it now. I will show it to you when the time is right."
"All right……"
Bai Zhi nodded and looked in the direction where Wu Shuangxu left: "Young Master! Now many people can't wait to leave you, but this Wu girl came up to help you. Could it be that she wants to harm you?"
"That won't happen!"
Ying Wuji smiled. A hostage abandoned by his motherland was really of no use.
He would rather believe that Wu Shuangxu was a man who truly stuck to his heart. Even if he had other wishes, that would be a matter for the future.
As for now, preserving oneself in troubled times is the top priority.
The world structure was similar to the Spring and Autumn Period in the previous life. Even the characters and historical trajectories had some overlap. The Zhou emperor was the nominal ruler of the world, but in reality the various vassal states were fighting for supremacy.
But there is still a big difference. The Zhou emperor has ruled for 1,500 years, but there is no trend of unification.
The era of a hundred schools of thought contending with each other has not completely passed. In the courts of many vassal states, Confucianism and Mohism are competing with each other, and there are also famous schools of thought such as Legalism and so on.
Instead, Taoism gradually faded out, and disciples came out one after another to practice.
It was only in recent years that Taoist sects took the initiative to send disciples into the secular world. On the one hand, it was to quell evil spirits, and on the other hand, they were short of personnel, so they always had to rely on the power of the court to select some good seedlings from the secular world.
The two did not stay long and went straight back to the embassy of the country.
…
The embassy is where Ying Wuji has lived since he was a child.
It is very common for vassal states to exchange hostages these days. Although the hostages are somewhat miserable, as long as the mother country is strong, they will not fall into the situation of being bullied.
In fact, hostages usually also serve as diplomats. As long as they do an outstanding job and are able to return to their home country, their status will generally not be low.
For example, the current King of Gan, Ying Yue, used to be a hostage in the State of Li. After returning to his country, he defeated another prince and became the king directly.
Therefore, although Ying Wuji did not have the title of crown prince, he was always treated as a crown prince. Even Ying Yue's former teacher when he was young was sent to teach Ying Wuji, and with various scholars accompanying him, his treatment was quite generous.
