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

Chapter 26 – Kato Taka in The Great Li

However, Hua Chao had also been floating in the sea of people for many years, and although she had never done business, she had seen too much. She quickly guessed Ying Wuji's meaning.

"So, your plan is to open your own bookstore, eat up this batch of goods, hire civilian students to transcribe, and earn all the money from the bookstore and paper shop?"

Ying Wuji was somewhat surprised and flattered, "As expected of Sister Hua Chao, my brother and I really understand each other's thoughts."

Hua Chao was anxious in her heart, but she just sighed lightly and said in a warm voice, "Wuji, your idea is good, but you haven't had any business experience, and your thinking is still too simple. Sister can help you with the expenses of opening the bookstore, but even if the bookstore is opened, how can we compete with those old and famous bookstores? Hiring those civilian students to transcribe will also incur a lot of expenses."

Sister's money can support us for a while, but when we first open, we will definitely lack books. Those civilian students all have high aspirations and transcribing books is just a way to make a living. How can they transcribe for us all day long?"

Although the social hierarchy in this world was very strict, there was still a way to climb up. The simplest way was to become a servant for a noble family.

In the Kingdom Li, the most famous were Prime Minister Luo and Pingling Jun, each with three thousand servants.

The reason why so many civilian students from all over the place gathered in Jingcheng was to win their favor. Transcribing books was just a way to make a living. As long as they had enough money for expenses, they would be active in places where they could be seen by the nobles, talking and selling themselves.

Even in remote areas where there were no wealthy families with great power, there were still many people who wanted to become their servants, hoping that their masters could recommend them to the capital and give them a chance to become officials.

Ying Wuji smiled, "Sister Hua Chao, don't worry! I have a friend who is very fast at writing, and he can transcribe a thousand books a day for free. I can solve all the problems you mentioned!"

Hua Chao: "..."

She felt that Ying Wuji might be lying to her. Was there really someone in this world who could transcribe a thousand books a day?

But seeing Ying Wuji's confident look, she inexplicably had a lot of confidence in him. After all, he didn't seem like someone who would talk nonsense.

She thought for a moment, "Wuji! Tell sister the truth, is this Great Li Kato Taka... actually you?"

Ying Wuji scratched his head, "You guessed it!"

Hua Chao: "..."

She subconsciously looked at Ying Wuji's hands, vaguely seeing the calluses left by holding a pen and a sword. Were these hands really that magical?

Sigh!

Since the money had already been taken out, she could only choose to believe him.

For a moment, she seemed to understand her mother's feelings when she used all her savings to send her unfaithful lover to the capital.

Ji Su instinctively touched the pimples on his face, which instantly turned red. While others would not expose someone's weakness, Ying Wuji took advantage of it.

After returning home last night, he couldn't sleep and didn't teach Ying Wuji a lesson. As a result, the pimples probably wouldn't go away.

But Luo Ming had taught him that if he wanted to gain the upper hand in momentum, he must not lose his composure and remain calm.

He took two deep breaths and regained his composure, then said with a light smile, "Master Wuji truly impresses me. Even when disaster is imminent, you can still talk tough. We are both hostages in the Qian Kingdom, and I naturally don't want to make things difficult for you. Why don't you just submit to me and call me 'Big Brother'? I might even let Qian Kingdom's industry go. What do you think?"

Ying Wuji sneered, "I have always been strong and never knew what it meant to be weak. If you want to show off, you might as well go back to the high-class brothel, where the girls will cooperate with you and shout a few times. You've come to the wrong place!"

"You..."

Ji Su's cheeks were almost twitching. Could he not mention this incident?

Since you poked my wound, don't blame me for poking yours.

His face turned cold, "You can only talk big now, but do you know why we have only punished your Qian Kingdom industry until now?"

Ying Wuji cut him off, "I don't have time to listen! Hua Chao, let's go!"

He gestured to Hua Chao.

He was too busy making money by scamming people to waste time with someone who had no value in scamming.

But Ji Su wouldn't let him go and jumped off the carriage directly, "Because you're a waste! Do you know what that means? We in the Flame Kingdom would love for you to be the king of Qian Kingdom. By then, Qian Kingdom will decline on its own, and the Qian Kingdom merchants will be nothing to worry about. It's just that your father has a bastard who far surpasses you, and we fear Ying Wuque. That's why we want to completely cut off Qian Kingdom's external financial resources. Ying Wuque is shining in Qian Kingdom, but it's you, a waste who is far away in the Li Kingdom, who is suffering!"

"Unforgivable!"

Bai Zhi couldn't take it anymore, drew her sword, and jumped off the carriage. Wasn't this guy stabbing at the heart of the young master?

Ying Wuji couldn't stop her either. How could this little girl be angrier than him? Helplessly, he also jumped off the carriage.Ji Su finally showed a triumphant look, gestured with his eyes, and the swordsman beside him intercepted Bai Zhi.

He smirked.

"Seeking death!"

A scorching red energy rose from his body, apparently breaking through to the eleventh level of Qi Condensation.

Ying Wuji clicked his tongue and inevitably had to take action.
