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

Chapter 7 – I Choose to Become a Great Figure in the Mohist School Because I Have No Money to Enjoy Life

I have to say, the food Bai Zhi cooked was delicious.

I don't know what's up with this little girl. Besides having excellent swordsmanship, she's also fully skilled in life skills. She can cook and clean with ease, and even communicate with sign language like a natural.

It seems like she knew these skills when she was ten years old and they were sent to her from her motherland. I don't know how she learned them.

Motherland...

What a distant vocabulary.

Now, my difficult situation is largely due to my motherland, but there's no way around it. The situation between the kingdoms of Qian and Li is indeed like this.

In fact, the royal families of Qian and Li are from the same family and both have the surname Ying Zhao. Qian's ancestor went to the western wilderness with his clan five hundred years ago because of disagreements with the Li king at the time. He fought against the barbarians such as the Qun Rong and Di Guo and eventually received the enfeoffment of Zhou Tianzi, becoming a new feudal lord.

Abandoning the Zhao surname and using the ancestral Ying surname.

Although their achievements were brilliant, Qian's land was barren and impoverished.

However, the expanding territory attracted the Flame Kingdom to unite with the Qun Rong and Di Guo to attack Qian from both sides. Qian suffered and could only request help from the same clan and origin of Li.

Li and Flame Kingdom have always been at odds, and they do not border Qian, so they readily agreed and eventually forced the Flame Army to retreat.

But at the same time, they made their own conditions, one of which led to two generations of Ying Wuji being held hostage.

Now, Li is Qian's money bag, and Qian is Li's vanguard in weakening the Flame Kingdom's power and resisting the harassment of the demon race. Therefore, both sides do not want to destroy their relations.

I'm just a mediocre young master, destined to be a sacrifice.

However, after being hung up, everything is uncertain.

After dinner, Ying Wuji wasn't sleepy at all, and his thoughts became more and more divergent, like a brainstorm.

This caused Bai Zhi to chatter on and on, but he didn't hear clearly.

"Young master! We really don't have any money now. I just checked the kitchen, and several ingredients are already gone. Can you give me some silver so I can buy some sesame tofu and cabbage tomorrow?"

"Sesame tofu? What's that?"

Ying Wuji woke up from his thoughts.

This novel is available on ".

Bai Zhi scratched her head and repeated what she said earlier.

Ying Wuji had a headache. "Are we really that short of money now? How much money do I have in my personal treasury?"

This little girl has always been his personal steward, and she's been in charge of the accounts in his personal treasury.

He was restricted in terms of safety, had a low status, and didn't even have enough money to spend.

He needed to find a way to earn money, or he wouldn't even be able to afford to go to the brothel.

Although the structure of this world was similar to the Spring and Autumn Period of his previous life, it benefited from the long period of activity of the Hundred Schools of Thought. People who traveled outside often brought seeds and specialties, greatly enriching the material and spiritual world of the Central Plains. It had developed to a level equivalent to the Eastern Han Dynasty of his previous life.

It shouldn't be too difficult to earn money.

But where should he start?

He shook his head and went back to his room to browse through the information.

Although the previous imperial teacher had returned to Kingdom Qian, he left behind a roomful of books, including the classics of the Hundred Schools of Thought and information on the customs and industries of various countries.

After studying for a long time, he found a feasible plan, taking into account the products of Kingdom Li and the merchant industry of Kingdom Qian in Kingdom Li.

But the most urgent task was still to find clues to the mastermind behind the scenes.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be at ease.

He practiced swordsmanship for half an hour, took a bath, and went to sleep.

...

The next morning, Ying Wuji was awakened by a knock on the door.

Bai Zhi's voice came from outside, "Young master, Young Master Dan is here to see you."

"I know, I know!"

Ying Wuji got up groggily, washed himself with the warm water that Bai Zhi had prepared, and then went to the hall.

As soon as he entered, he saw a sturdy young man.

He was dressed in a brown fur coat and leather armor, looking like a Mohist.

This is Gongzi Dan, an ordinary Mohist.

But it's not because he respects the Mohist school of thought, but rather because the Wu Kingdom embassy has too little funding, and he lives a very frugal life, which coincides with the Mohist philosophy of advocating thrift.

It is said that his goal is to become a great figure in the Mohist school.

This wave is called "I Choose to Become a Great Figure in the Mohist School Because I Have No Money to Enjoy Life."

When Wu Dan saw Ying Wuji, his eyes turned red: "Lord Wuji, it's great that you didn't end up in a woman's belly!"

Ying Wuji: "..."
