"Ying Wuji?"

When they heard this name, the members of the Han family present subconsciously glanced at each other.

To be honest, they were a bit confused.

After all, Ying Wuji's status was extremely special, and there were already too many people who wanted to kill him. Did our Han family also have to get involved?

Someone finally asked their doubts, "Master! What benefits do we gain from killing Ying Wuji?"

All five pairs of eyes fell on Han Zhe. Interests were the driving force behind a family's collective actions.

Han Zhe didn't directly answer, he just smiled and said, "You should ask, who will benefit us by killing Ying Wuji!"

The members of the Han family suddenly understood Han Zhe's meaning.

In the current Li Kingdom, apart from the Zhao royal family, no other family could be compared to the Wei and Han families. Among the three, the Zhao royal family was naturally the strongest, followed by the Wei family. Although the Han family had absolute control over their fiefdom, their influence in Jiang City was much weaker.

The King of Li said he was balancing the two families, but it was more accurate to say that he was supporting the Han family against the Wei family.

The current situation could still be maintained, but anyone with clear eyes could see that Prime Minister Luo Yan's health was deteriorating. There were rumors among the doctors that if this trend continued, the Prime Minister would have at most ten more years to live.

Although the three sons of the Luo family were talented, they were not outstanding. Who would be able to take the position of Prime Minister? Moreover, the two legitimate sons were also the nephews of the Wei family.

So, when the time comes, who will become the Prime Minister, and who will the Prime Minister's three thousand followers belong to?

When the Wei family absorbs and digests this power, will the Han family still be able to be compared to the Wei family?

So they probably understood that Han Zhe needed an important figure from the Wei family to kill Ying Wuji, and it had to be a big commotion!

The Wei family's fiefdom borders Kingdom Qian, and although Kingdom Qian wants to recuperate, their reputation for being strong and aggressive cannot tolerate such a great humiliation. Especially now that Ying Wuji can make money, he is no longer a dispensable existence.

At that time, either Kingdom Qian and Kingdom Li will go to war, and the Wei family will be pushed to the front lines, regardless of victory or defeat, the Wei family will be greatly damaged.

Or the Wei family will voluntarily hand over the culprit, but this will also greatly damage the Wei family's reputation.

This plan can be considered a win-win situation, but... will it work?

The members of the Han family pondered for a long time, but still couldn't come up with a perfect solution. The leader of the group sighed, "Master, leaving aside whether we can kill Ying Wuji or not, this matter must be done flawlessly. If it is discovered that we are behind this, our Han family will likely incur the anger of both kingdoms!"

"Naturally!"

Han Zhe smiled faintly, "Rest assured, I have already chosen the middleman. As long as the timing is right, we can take action. All of you just need to think about how to reap more benefits!"

"Yes!"

The members of the Han family had no objections to Han Zhe's confidence. Although the Han family was relatively low-key in Jiang City, Han Zhe had always been observing every move in the city and always made the most correct choices.

He said he had found a suitable middleman, so it must have been a well-considered judgment.

The conference hall quickly became lively, with everyone immersed in the discussion of "how to reap more benefits."

...

Embassy of the Flame Kingdom.

Ji Su kept flipping through the book in his hand, his face covered in red pimples, clearly extremely frustrated.

If he were in the Flame Kingdom, he would have already killed a slave to vent his anger. But within the Li Kingdom, no foreigner was allowed to own slaves, so he couldn't even kill a slave. All he could do was suffer and squeeze his pimples.

This book was sent from the Prime Minister's Mansion, it was an estimate of the orders from Shangmo Bookstore.

"It's so big!"

"Eight hundred thousand taels a year?"

"I worked so hard to turn this unknown bookstore into the leader of the printing industry?"

"Is the owner of Shangmo Bookstore Ying Wuji or me?"

Ji Su felt suffocated and couldn't breathe. Since the ceasefire between Kingdom Qian and the Flame Kingdom, the Flame Kingdom's internal anxiety had been spreading. One country fighting against three countries, and in the end, the war stopped because of financial difficulties. Who wouldn't be anxious?

Although the war had stopped, the Flame Kingdom couldn't afford to stop its actions. It wasn't realistic to wage war against Kingdom Qian, so they could only suppress Kingdom Qian's economy.

The slower Kingdom Qian's financial recovery, the longer the Flame Kingdom could catch its breath.

And now, it was the time for Ji Su, the hostage, to show his value. Everything was going smoothly, and he was about to crush Kingdom Qian's paper industry, but then Ying Wuji suddenly appeared.

He used all his abilities, thinking that every move he made would go down in history as a brilliant move.

But now... with Shangmo Bookstore being so successful, he seemed like the number one contributor.

If this news were to be transmitted back to his motherland, what kind of punishment would he face?

He felt suffocated!

The Flame Kingdom had many princes, not like other countries. The Ji family's cultivation technique had a strong fire element, so they needed to vent their fire. There were many princes in the Flame Kingdom, and there were seven legitimate sons alone.

Ji Su had also thought about becoming the Crown Prince, but he had a sense of self-awareness and had basically given up on that idea. However, he still wanted to achieve more so that he could have a better life when he returned to his homeland.

But now... it seemed like he was in big trouble!

Just then, a servant hurriedly rushed in.

"Young Master..."

Ji Su impatiently interrupted, "It's too late today, talk about it tomorrow!"

The servant quickly said, "The one who came back this time is an important guest!"

"Important guest?"

Ji Su burst a pimple with his hand and angrily cursed, "If it's an important guest, why didn't you directly invite him in? How stupid can you be!"

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'll go now!"

The servant quickly apologized and ran out, soon returning with a man wearing a black cloak.

The man took off his hat, revealing a handsome face, and smiled slightly, "Young Master Su, long time no see!"

"Han Xie?"

Ji Su's expression froze. Although Han Xie was not the heir of the Han family, he was still an important member of the Han family, and Han Zhe was his uncle.

This person was considered outstanding in the Han family. When Han Juan was cultivating outside, Han Zhe's wife once wanted to adopt him as her godson and give him the status of the Han family heir. This showed how high his status was.

When they were young, the second generation often fought, and the hostages from small countries were often bullied. Ji Su was frequently beaten up by Han Xie, and he had once deeply hated him.

But now, Han Xie came looking for him, he must have come with a purpose, it was obviously not suitable to hold a grudge from childhood.

Han Xie laughed, "I didn't expect that after so many years, Young Master Su has become a business leader. I watched the whole process of Shangmo Bookstore, and if it weren't for Ying Wuji's clever moves, every move you made would be considered brilliant!"

"Where, where!"

Ji Su smiled and waved his hand, but he had doubts in his heart, not knowing the intention behind Han Xie's words.

Seeing his caution, Han Xie sighed slightly, "But it seems like Young Master Su has been under a lot of pressure recently, with the pressure from your motherland. It must be difficult to endure!"

Ji Su couldn't help it anymore, "Brother Han, just say what you want to say!"

Han Xie laughed heartily, "Young Master Su is indeed straightforward. Since that's the case, I won't beat around the bush. I came here this time to bring you a panacea!"

"A panacea? What panacea?"

"The blood of one person, enough to extinguish all the worries in Young Master Su's heart!"

"But please speak!"

Ji Su was somewhat excited, but after hearing Han Xie's strategy, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, "Your Han family is really ruthless!"
