Chapter Ninety-Nine: Showdown! The Lion Opens (1st Update)
"You're getting married?"
There was a brief silence in the Qianguo embassy, and the question popped up in everyone's minds.
At this juncture, isn't it for the sake of commercial printing?
Why didn't you mention the matter of commercial seals, but suddenly mentioned marriage?
Ying Yue's eyes were also slightly confused, and he didn't know if it was because he hadn't woken up yet, he didn't understand where the information about this matter was.
Marriage?
Whose marriage? At the embassy, I don't think I've heard of anyone getting married!
He subconsciously asked, "Are you getting married?" Who is the bridegroom?"
The corners of Ying Wuji's mouth twitched: "I'm getting married, who else can the groom be besides me?"
"Oh! You're getting married!"
Ying Yue suddenly realized, and on her cheeks, which had always looked old-fashioned, an indescribable excitement suddenly appeared, and her voice seemed to be a lot happier: "This is a great joy! Which aunt is my son's picture...... Yeah! The bookstore has given Luo Yan's daughter to that old thing, and the bride is naturally her!"
He was a little incoherent with excitement, and it could be seen that the joy on his face was completely heartfelt, and it was no different from the old father whose son would marry immediately.
Ying Wuji saw him like this, and felt a little emotion in his heart, he didn't doubt the authenticity of this feeling, Ying Yue may indeed have some family affection for himself, but it's a pity...... This kind of affection only exists without any political factors.
The source of his joy is probably only a small part of his marriage.
But the most important thing is that this marriage is equivalent to announcing his withdrawal from the prince's dispute. After all, the strength he showed last time was a real spirit and spirit triple eleventh layer, even if it was far less than the awakened bloodline, it also made the battle for the prince more unstable.
But after this marriage, as long as the woman is a powerful family in the Li Kingdom, she basically has no ability to compete for the position of the prince.
The triple eleventh layer is indeed a very good existence in the family, but in the face of such a huge force, it can only be regarded as a vassal. After vassalization, Ying Wuji is considered to be more than half of the Li people, why did a Li person become the prince of the Qianguo?
Unless you reach a first-class spirit fetus that can change the situation in the future, or even higher......
Just one marriage can eliminate the unstable factors in the country, and it can also avoid the situation of fratricide, how can Yingyue be unhappy?
Ying Wuji shook his head: "Hua Chao and I are just a simple sister and brother at present, and what I want to marry is the princess of Li Kingdom!"
"Princess? Hello princess!"
Ying Yue's eyebrows were even more joyful, and he didn't dwell on the question of whether the bride was Hua Chao, after all, he really didn't care who was his daughter-in-law.
He only cares about whether the other party is powerful in the Li country, the greater the power, the better the situation in the Qianguo country, the princess represents the clan of the Li country, and there is no better choice than this.
Ying Wuji pursed his lips, this cheap father didn't even want to ask which princess it was, but it was right to think about it, the princess of Li Guo didn't have a very high status in the eyes of outsiders, no wonder he didn't care.
It's a pity...... This fish-lipped Ou Duosang didn't know that in fact, there was a princess in the country of Li who was enough to influence the court situation.
Scold!
What a witty horse I am!
"Congratulations Childe!"
The embassy congratulated one after another.
After all, Ying Wuji has already brought the matter to the table, and he must have discussed it with Princess Li Guo, and looking at Ying Yue's demeanor, this marriage should have become a sure existence.
Everyone has a smile on their faces, but for different reasons.
The ordinary staff in the embassy felt that Ying Wuji and Princess Li Guo were married, and the embassy would definitely receive more convenience.
Gongsun Di and Xun Zhiyin are indifferent to the so-called convenience, but Gongzi's position is stable, which is beneficial to both them and Qianguo.
Even Lin Guifei in the phantom, there was a smile on her face: "Mowgli's lifelong events have been settled, too
It is a great joy for us to dry the country, and it is really gratifying and congratulatory!"
Ying Wuji sneered in his heart, but there was a warm smile on his face: "Thank you fake mother! The fact that my life's major events can be completed so quickly is also due to the fact that my fake mother and son are flawless. So this time I'm getting married, how much bride price does the fake mother plan to support?"
Lin Guifei choked, she originally thought that Ying Wuji would disdain her, but she didn't expect to greet her with a smile.
It's not particularly friendly, but at least there's a smile on his face.
And you are getting married, why should my little mother support the bride price?
She was a little speechless, but it was not easy to shirk it in front of everyone's eyes, especially Ying Yue was also by her side, she was the husband of the king, and she liked the superficial family harmony the most, and it was all up to this scene, and it was really unreasonable not to support the bride price.
Not only to support, but also to support the big!
The smile on Concubine Lin's face was a little stiff: "This is the first happy event for my royal family, so naturally I can't do it too shabby. So be it! I took out a mandarin duck jade screen, ten yin and yang harmony pills, a real phoenix sycamore wood bed, a bottle of jade rabbit muscle nourishing liquid, and a night pearl of the East China Sea......
A gift is the same as reporting the name of a dish, all of them are rare treasures.
Although Lin Guifei's tone was as usual, through her stiff expression, she could still feel that her heart was dripping blood.
This little mother is really generous, this set of bride price is almost the highest standard of the royal family, it is estimated that she has taken out all the family funds.
Ying Wuji laughed so much that the corners of her mouth were about to crack, and when she finished reporting the name of the dish, she smiled and said, "Although I haven't met with the fake mother, the fake mother treats Wuji as her own, which really touches Wuji."
"Nature, nature!"
Lin Guifei smiled: "It's all a family, the fake mother is not good for you, but for whom?"
After that, she turned her head to look at Ying Yue, and saw that Ying Yue was also smiling brightly, and the look on her face relaxed a little.
Unexpectedly, Ying Wuji turned his head: "Fake mothers are so generous, then father, you can't be worse than fake mothers!"
The smile on Ying Yue's face stopped abruptly: "What? Isn't that enough?"
Ying Wuji said as a matter of course: "Of course! It was a false mother in her private name just now, what does it have to do with your father? The two parents only pay a bride price for one person, and if this is said, it will make others think that we can't afford to pay for it!"
Ying Yue choked: "It's too! What more do you want?"
Ying Wuji waved his hand indifferently: "Whatever! Don't be worth less than a false mother!"
The muscles on Ying Yue's face twitched, but he could only nod and say, "Okay, good! I'll ask someone to draw up a gift list later, and I won't treat you badly!"
"Good!"
Ying Wuji nodded: "That's right! And my mother's side, my fake mother supports the bride price, she can't be left behind as a mother-in-law, it doesn't matter how much she gives, just get her heart!"
Yingyue: "......"
Everyone present: "......"
One fish and three eats, right?
They felt that when Ying Wuji was the first to speak to Lin Guifei, it seemed that everything had been calculated in their hearts.
The queen is his own mother, how can the bride price supported be worse than that of Concubine Lin?
After these three waves of dowry, I am afraid that it will empty out nearly half of the royal family's private treasury, even if Zhou Tianzi gets married, I am afraid that it will not be so luxurious!
In particular, there are a lot of cultivation resources in it, and these things can at least allow fifty people to impact the spirit fetus of the sixth grade and above, which can only be described by two words: terrifying.
Ying Wuji didn't seem to be satisfied: "That's right! There is also one thing missing, without this thing, this bride price is probably not very complete!"
Ying Yue's face darkened, and she suddenly wanted to scold someone!
But this marriage was too important to him to Qianguo, so he could only squeeze out a kind smile: "You say!"
Although Ying Wuji still had a smile on his face, his tone had become sharp: "Father, you should remember the request I made last time! I want a commercial seal, not only for the embassy in Lebanon, but also for a country that can do business. And in this embassy, whoever can stay will get out, me
It's up to you!"
What!
At this time, not only Gongsun Di and Xun Zhiyin's hearts were pinched, but even Yingyue's face was a little unpleasant.
This is equivalent to monopolizing all the foreign trade and business rights of the Qianguo! Although most of the Qianguo's business in other countries has collapsed, and there are few achievements in the Qianguo's finances, it still has a certain amount of influence no matter what, and it is not a small amount of power to gather.
If it falls directly into the hands of Ying Wuji, I am afraid that it will be ...... to Ying Wuji's status
Wrong!
Ying Wuji is a son-in-law in Li State, how can he threaten Ying Wuji's status?
Ying Yue took three deep breaths, and the smile on her face reappeared: "It's too! You are alone in the country of Li, you have to find something to do, and these commercial seals will be handed over to you! Xun Zhiyin, go and get Shang Yin!"
"Your Majesty!"
Xun Zhiyin panicked, the bookstore is an opportunity for him to rely on Ying Wuji's pulse in the future, how can he be willing to hand it over to Ying Wuji?
Concubine Lin Guifei's face also froze, and she subconsciously said, "Your Majesty, this matter needs to be ...... for a long time."
Ying Yue's face suddenly sank: "What? Could it be that you need to make the decision for Gu in all the small things of business printing?"
Lin Guifei could only shut up, for fear of ruining Yingyue's good mood.
"The minister doesn't dare! The minister will go and get the seal."
Xun Zhiyin was frightened, and hurriedly bowed his body and walked away quickly.
Shang Yin handed it over, and what he lost was only his future, but he disobeyed Yingyue's order, and he lost his life! Which is more important, the future or the small life, he can still tell the difference!
After a while, he held Shang Yin in both hands, walked up to Ying Wuji, and presented it respectfully.
"Childe! Print!"
Ying Wuji looked at him as if he was mourning, and comforted him with a smile: "Lord Xun has one less trouble, how can he be the same as his dead mother? Don't cry, laugh! There is an old saying that is good, you always laugh, and it is so miserable...... Wrong! It's a good luck that comes naturally!"
He said as he took Shang Yin over.
Xun Zhiyin could only squeeze out a smile that was more ugly than crying, he never thought that more than a month ago, he was still embarrassed by this down-and-out son in the matter of commercial printing, how long has it been, and he actually ......
The bookstore was not greedy, and even the commercial seal was not kept, and I am afraid it will be difficult to do it in the future.
Ying Wuji turned his head and looked at King Qian: "That's right, Father! The commercial seal is already in my hands, and I will help you take care of our business in Qianguo, I have made a promise before, and of course I will not keep my word."
Ying Yue's eyes lit up: "Oh? Tell me about your plans!"
No matter how much the commoners and nobles looked down on commerce, it would not affect Yingyue's emphasis on commerce, otherwise it would not have been possible to equip embassies everywhere with commercial seals.
It's a pity that there are no talents who are good at doing business in Qianguo.
But now it's different, last time Ying Wuji repeatedly pulled among many forces and completely made the bookstore, which is enough to prove that his son is a genius in business. As long as he is obedient, he is his best son.
It seems that the bookstore will definitely come back, but I don't know what other plans Ying Wuji has.
Ying Wuji didn't beep much, stretched out a finger and said, "Within a month, I will make a big business with a scale of 10 million taels, but this business, including the future business, is all in cooperation with the Li royal family!" I don't want to be busy until the end, and all the peaches will be picked by the Li royal family, so I need you to send someone with enough weight to completely set the pattern of cooperation in the future!"
"What!"
"Ten million taels!"
"This, this, this......"
Everyone was numb, and they felt that Ying Wuji was crazy.
Oh, do you know what the concept of ten thousand taels is? Can we stop bragging?
But no one dared to say this sentence, because before that, who would have thought that Ying Wuji would be able to pull the annual profit to hundreds of thousands of taels just by opening a bookstore?
Ying Yue was also shocked: "
Is that true?"
In fact, he didn't doubt Ying Wuji's words, after all, the commercial seal had already arrived, and there was no need for Ying Wuji to bluff him in this regard.
But isn't it too exaggerated to do a big business of tens of millions of two-level business?
Qianguo is a big agricultural country, so there is no need to worry about the grain problem, and you can fight when you want.
But you need military pay to fight a war, and soldiers need resources to cultivate, right?
In these three aspects, Li Guo is extremely supportive on the surface, but in fact, it has stuck in the throat in various ways, making the Qianwang of the past dynasties anxious, especially in recent generations, iron smelting has reached the military level, but the Qianguo is very uncomfortable by Li Guo whether it is the source of iron ore or the iron smelting technology.
In the final analysis, there is no money, and if you have money, you can buy it from Qi and Chu.
If this business can really be successful, it is necessary to send a person with enough weight to talk, otherwise if Li Guo picks peaches, he will really have no place to cry.
Ying Yue suddenly felt a little guilty, although his son was a little too strong, and he started a fire without a king and a father, but in fact, he knew the overall situation very well.
Instead, it's yourself......
"Seriously!"
Ying Wuji nodded.
Ying Yue received an affirmative reply, and suddenly felt happy: "That's good! You can wait with peace of mind, and within a month, Gu will definitely send a person who is very important in the Qianguo country to assist you in negotiating."
The key point is "assistance".
This old man finally came up with the right attitude.
Ying Wuji was very satisfied: "Since that's the case, then thank you father!"
Ying Yue smiled from ear to ear, he didn't expect that all the problems that bothered him before, whether it was family or state affairs, could be solved in just a quarter of an hour.
Under this premise, the sky-high bride price is really not worth mentioning, even if Ying Wuji wants to marry a hundred Ganzhou women as wives, he has no objection.
Concubine Lin Guifei did not forget to show a wave of family harmony at this time: "Your Majesty! Now you have two sons, and there is no lack of ancient bloodline in the country to forge ahead, and there is no mowgli in the outside world, a business wizard who works for the country. It's really heavenly, so I'm going to be happy!"
Although Ying Wuji's performance and situation made her feel threatened, as long as she didn't threaten the position of the prince, everything was easy to say.
Since this is the case, it is better to sell a favor, anyway, Yingyue likes this the most.
Ying Yue was really useful, and laughed and said, "Mowgli! If you have any other requirements, let's talk about them today, as long as it's not too much, Lonely, who is a father, will satisfy you!"
"Is that true?"
"Naturally, it's true!"
"That's good!"
Ying Wuji's expression suddenly became a little playful, he turned around, glanced at everyone, and many people in his eyes lowered their heads weakly.
After all, there are many people who have gone to Shangmo Bookstore to arrest people, and even whipped the guys inside.
Especially Xun Zhiyin, he only felt that his hands and feet were cold, it was not yet winter, but he felt that the whole person had fallen into an ice cellar.
A sneer appeared at the corner of Ying Wuji's mouth: "Since that's the case! Father, I'll be straight to the point! These days, I've found some clues about Gu Killing Eucalyptus."
"Say it!"
A trace of killing intent flashed in Ying Yue's eyes, although he chose to suppress this matter before, but it was only for the sake of the overall situation, it did not mean that he was not angry, after all, Ying Wuji was his son, even if he did not grow up under his knees, he was also his own flesh and blood of Ying Yue.
His own son was almost killed, how could he not be angry?
He also sent people to investigate, but the undercurrent of Li Guo was surging, the situation was very chaotic, and the spies sent out found nothing.
Ying Wuji smiled and sneered: "Don't say anything else, just say that I went to the Qinglou that day and ordered a few women, but before I went to the Qinglou, a list was formed and fell into the hands of the murderer. And the reason why I ordered those girls was because I expected Master Xun to introduce them to me!"
"Whew
Isn't it?"
Ying Yue's eyes suddenly erupted with fierce killing intent.
Xun Zhiyin was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and cold sweat seeped out from the pores of his body.
He was frightened, and fell to his knees with a thud, kowtowing frantically: "Your Majesty! Son! The subordinate is wronged! I recommended some girls to Childe, but I really didn't collude with the murderer!"
He was really panicked!
It is true that he is in the same vein as Yingwuji, but let him directly participate in the process of murdering Yingwuji, even if he is given ten guts, he will not dare!
The emotional gauge was instantly filled, and several useless skills were exploded.
Ying Wuji sneered: "I haven't said that Lord Xun colluded with the murderer, why did Lord Xun admit it himself?"
Ying Yue's face became more and more ugly: "Xun Zhiyin, what's going on?"
Xun Zhiyin's brain was completely insufficient, so he could only kowtow and explain like a repeater: "Your Majesty! I really didn't collude with the murderer! I don't know the murderer! How dare I!"
Ying Wuji asked rhetorically, "I naturally don't believe that Lord Xun colluded with the murderer, but can Lord Xun explain why the list in the murderer's hand is exactly the same as what Lord Xun said!" As long as Master Xun can explain clearly, I can not blame the past!"
"I, I don't know!"
Xun Zhiyin wants to cry without tears, he really has no clue, and the crime of killing his head and even affecting the whole family is in the past, how can he still have the ability to think?
Ying Wuji didn't expect Xun Zhiyin to be so wasteful, so he could only guide him appropriately: "Lord Xun! Do you want to stop thinking about it? I remember when I asked you, there didn't seem to be any outsiders around, could it be that you were secretly watched by someone with a very high cultivation?"
"Spying!"
Xun Zhiyin's eyes suddenly lit up, Ying Wuji's words really reminded him that there was indeed a person lurking beside him, that was the Iron Bull Envoy, and if he wanted to get away with it, he could only ......
Inadvertently, he saw Lin Guifei beside Yingyue, and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
In front of Concubine Lin, he confessed the iron bull envoy, is this a fate?
He quickly retracted his gaze, and said in a trembling voice, "Maybe! In all probability! But the little minister's cultivation is low, and he can't feel it at all!"
"Hugh is talking nonsense!"
At this time, the supervisor on the side couldn't sit still, he turned around and made a gesture to Ying Yue: "Your Majesty! The old minister sat in the embassy day and night, and he never slacked off! There was also turmoil in the embassy a few days before and after Gongzi went to the Qinglou, and the minister became more and more cautious.
He is the strongest master of the Ying family in the Li Kingdom, and he knows best whether his cultivation is the soldier realm rumored by the outside world.
Now that there is such a question, it really makes him a little angry.
Ying Wuji smiled and said, "Lord Supervisor, don't be angry, this is just my personal speculation, maybe it is really Lord Xun who colluded with the murderer!"
"Humph!"
The supervisor snorted, and his expression eased slightly.
Xun Zhiyin: "......"
It's better to say that there is a master watching!
