"good!"
Ying Wuji smiled and nodded: "Where are we going?"
Hua Chao thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to the south of the city. My mother lived in the south of the city when she brought me to Jiangcheng to look for my relatives. Although it's a bit run-down and poor over there, I always feel very comfortable every time I go there."
"good!"
"Change into a more worn-out set of clothes first."
"Um!"
After changing their clothes, the two of them walked to the south of the city. This place was indeed a bit shabby. Most of the people living here were people from surrounding cities who wanted to seek welfare for their children and grandchildren. After all, Jiangcheng was a holy land for hundreds of families and there were many schools opened there.
Although becoming a disciple does not mean a bright future, it at least gives you a glimmer of hope for a turnaround. It would be even better if you could become a retainer of a big family.
However, studying was too expensive, so these people could only work hard. There were many people weaving bamboo baskets and engaging in textile weaving. Although they earned a lot of money, they all spent it on school, and their own lives became very poor.
Hua Chao was very familiar with every tree and blade of grass here, and told Ying Wuji a lot of things from the past.
Ying Wuji was also happy to listen. Now that the murderer had been caught, he no longer had any resentment towards Hua Chao, and naturally wanted to know more about her past.
The two of them kept shopping until the evening before returning home, and Hua Chao went to rest right away after returning home.
Ying Wuji returned to his study and had a vague understanding, as if he knew what he was going to write tomorrow.
…
The next day.
From the moment the first rays of dawn appeared, Jiangcheng became bustling.
Although only scholars can participate in literary gatherings, it does not affect the enthusiasm of the people of Jiangcheng for literary gatherings. After all, those who can afford to read are not short of money.
The literary gathering was not held until the evening at Wangyue Lake, but vendors went to reserve spots around Wangyue Lake in the morning. The previously deserted place became the largest bustling market in Jiangcheng in one day.
Ying Wuji didn't join in the fun either. He stayed at home until the sun began to set before he prepared to go out.
But I never expected that when I passed by the store, I happened to see a handsome young man reading a copy of "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio".
Zhao Ning heard the footsteps and raised his head with a smile: "Brother Ying, how about you and I go together to this literary gathering?"
"Of course!"
Ying Wuji smiled and nodded, stepped forward, grabbed Zhao Ning's wrist, and enthusiastically pulled her to the carriage in front of the door.
After sitting down in the carriage, he smiled and said, "The other day, the father and son were quarreling with each other, and Brother Zhao laughed at us!"
Zhao Ning shook his head and sighed softly: "Brother Ying is in a foreign land. Not only does his motherland not understand him, but it also makes things difficult for him. People are all made of flesh and blood. Anyone who puts themselves in his shoes will feel resentful. It is not a joke to me. Instead, it makes me look at Brother Ying differently. By the way, Brother Ying..."
"If you want to support me and help me regain my position in the country, don't say it for now."
Ying Wuji interrupted him directly with a wave of his hand and said with a smile: "I have a suggestion, Brother Zhao may be more interested in it!"
Zhao Ning was puzzled: "Brother Ying, please speak!"
Ying Wuji stared at Zhao Ning's face, seeming a little shy: "I wonder if your Majesty wants a son-in-law who is handsome, has a broad mind, and knows a thing or two about business and governing a country? The requirements for this son-in-law are not high, as long as King Li is willing to marry his most powerful daughter to him to save his life."
Zhao Ning: “…”
She was a little messy.
According to her idea, Ying Wuji had been hiding his strength in the past, definitely in order to let the State of Li relax its guard so that he could return to the country and take over the throne in the future.
It seems that he must be extremely ambitious and would never allow the throne that belongs to him to fall into the hands of others.
And his various actions in the State of Li further proved this point.
The reason why she was so open in trying to win over Ying Wuji was because she was sure of this. Even if she were in Ying Wuji's position, she would be quite tempted by this proposal.
Can……
Come to the Kingdom of Li to be a royal consort?
Zhao Ning was a little confused. He didn't expect that Ying Wuji, a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, also wanted to be a gigolo.
Why is this happening? Has he endured for so long, just to have a bite of warm, soft rice?
And he kicked the ball straight at me, so straightforwardly that people doubted his real motives.
Ying Wuji was getting a little impatient waiting: "Please, just tell me the truth! Do you despise me as your son-in-law?"
"Uh... no, it's not!"
Zhao Ning quickly shook his head. Supporting Ying Wuji to consume the internal energy of Gan State was indeed a good choice, but in fact the benefits to Li State were very limited.
For nearly a hundred years, the national policy of the State of Li has been to allow neighboring countries to check and balance each other so as to accumulate its own national strength.
But this does not mean that they are afraid of war. Even if Gan Kingdom attacks now, she is confident that she can deal with it calmly. After all, the combat effectiveness of the Li Kingdom’s army is not ordinary strong. The only person in the entire Li Kingdom who advocates the theory of Gan disaster is the prime minister.
Therefore, compared to checking and balancing other countries, she hoped to eliminate the ills of the State of Li itself.
Although it is not clear how much talent Ying Wuji has, his wild and imaginative thoughts are traceable, and they can definitely provide her with a lot of novel ideas. Maybe most of them will not be used, but as long as they can be used, it will definitely be a sure win.
It is not uncommon for a hostage to become a trusted minister of another country. This is not new in history, not to mention that the Ying and Zhao families are of the same clan. Moreover, once this marriage is involved, it is not easy to get rid of it. Ying Wuji still has sincerity.
But...am I not the most powerful daughter of King Li?
Zhao Ning shook her head, thinking that almost no one knew she was a girl, so she must be referring to someone else.
