Chapter 77 Closing the net! Gu Jingzhi reveals his plan in full!
As soon as Gu Jingzhi left the palace, he saw Lin Feng guarding outside.
Gu Jingzhi saw it and immediately stepped forward: "Did something happen to the Beili delegation?"
Lin Feng looked quite excited: "Cousin, Guan Canghai was caught red-handed while trying to assassinate Baili Gongshu!"
"Caught in the act?"
Gu Jingzhi was quite surprised. This Beili's number one swordsman seemed a bit unworthy of his reputation. He grumbled slightly, then looked at Lin Feng and asked with concern, "How about you? You don't have any hands?"
"Brother was stabbed in the arm, but he's fine now!"
Lin Feng said, "Guan Canghai is quite cunning. He didn't bother to fight after being stopped by my elder brother. The outer guards were well arranged and captured him with a fishing net array!"
"Good guy!"
Gu Jingzhi smiled slightly.
It was he who taught Liu Sandao the fishing net formation. Ever since Jin Lehuang was exposed, Gu Jingzhi no longer trusted the original internal guards, so he used Liu Sandao.
The idea of the fishing net formation comes from Jin Da's martial arts novels.
He just mentioned it at the time, but he didn't expect that Liu Sandao would actually figure it out and successfully capture Guan Canghai.
"Let's go and take a look at the Beili Mission!"
Gu Jingzhi got on the carriage with great interest and went to the Beili delegation with Lin Feng.
As soon as he arrived at the embassy, Beili Gongshu came out to greet him. Seeing Gu Jingzhi, he immediately expressed his gratitude, "Thanks to Sir Gu for his careful arrangements. Otherwise, I would have died in this foreign land today!"
"Master Baili, you are too polite. You are a guest after all. It is wrong to frighten a guest. How can I deserve your thanks?"
As he spoke, he looked at Lin Chong and saw that his arm was bandaged. He asked, "Is your injury all right, cousin?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Chong shook his head and said, "It's nothing serious, just a minor wound!"
Gu Jingzhi nodded, then looked at Baili Gongshu: "I just came out of the palace. If there is nothing else to delay me, His Majesty will summon the delegation tomorrow. Lord Baili, please make preparations!"
"Haha! That's as it should be." Baili Gongshu smiled and said, "The villain is now imprisoned within the diplomatic mission. I wonder if Lord Gu is interested in going to take a look?"
"Beili's number one swordsman, of course I'm interested!"
Gu Jingzhi said with a smile, and then followed Baili Gongshu to the place where Guan Canghai was imprisoned.
When he saw Guan Canghai, he was trapped like a dumpling by the inner guards. Seeing Gu Jingzhi coming, Liu Sandao immediately stepped forward: "Sir..."
Gu Jingzhi smiled and said, "Brother Liu, it seems that you have gained a lot this time!"
After several operations, Guan Canghai was disappointed that the internal security was not strong enough. Not only did they fail to capture the criminal on the spot, they even failed to provide timely support, which made Gu Jingzhi very disappointed.
Upon hearing this, Liu Sandao simply said respectfully, "If it weren't for the Master's instruction to use the fishing net formation, we wouldn't have been able to capture the thief so easily!"
"Well!"
Gu Jingzhi nodded, then looked at Guan Canghai.
He looked to be around forty years old, his face was weathered, and his eyes were not as sharp as before...
More like a swordsman who has lost his faith.
Gu Jingzhi studied him for a moment, then suddenly whispered, "When I first heard your name, I was quite nervous. I never thought you would fail after three attempts, and end up in jail. I'm afraid you've been treated like a dog for so long that you've lost your swordsman spirit..."
"???"
The others looked at Gu Jingzhi in astonishment. They didn't expect that he would use murderous and heart-breaking methods right from the start.
Guan Canghai's eyes widened in anger as he angrily said, "You're talking nonsense! If you're capable of a one-on-one fight, why don't you just use a broken net...and go fishing?"
"Ah……"
Gu Jingzhi said disdainfully: "I am an official, you are a thief! Do you still expect me to deal with you according to the rules of the underworld? Then what do I need these soldiers for?"
To be honest, he did not reject people from the martial arts world, especially after reading many martial arts novels, and he was not as averse to the martial arts world as other people in power, but he did look down on people like Guan Canghai.
The so-called greatest heroes serve their country and their people. This is the sentiment that martial artists and heroes in the world should have.
But Guan Canghai, a great swordsman, was only willing to be a lackey, a white glove for others...
To put it bluntly, they are even worse than what outsiders call lackeys.
Guan Canghai was so angry at his words that if he hadn't been tied up, just that angry look... would have been enough to poke a few transparent holes in Gu Jingzhi's body.
Who would have thought that Gu Jingzhi had no intention of letting him go, and continued, "Actually! I've been suspicious of you since the first day you showed up at the Beili Mission. Everything I've done today is just to capture you, Beili's number one swordsman!"
Ok?
As soon as Gu Jingzhi said this, everyone was shocked.
In other words, ever since Guan Canghai appeared... Gu Jingzhi had already suspected him and started to make corresponding arrangements. And today's situation, and even the negotiations between Daxia and Beili, all these outcomes were within his expectations?
Baili Gongshu was the most helpless. He felt that Gu Jingzhi had already plotted against him before he even arrived at the capital of Daxia.
This feeling was too bad, and the key point was that he was tricked into losing five states.
To be honest, if it weren't for the appearance of Guan Canghai, he would never have fallen into this situation, but...
It was precisely because of this guy's arrival that we were able to expose the traitor Wu Tianyao.
Speaking of Wu Tianyao, the person he had always protected, he was finally exposed. This time he lost the Five States. Even if it was for the sake of Beili, if Wu Tianyao and Li Yue had not been secretly colluding, he probably would not have been able to get the Five States at all.
Gu Jingzhi first laid out all of this, and then targeted the situation between Beili and Liyue... He took advantage of the situation and finally forced Beili to sign such a letter.
Even when almost the entire Daxia court was against him, he managed to remain silent, maintaining his "closeness" with Li Yue while taking advantage of every possible opportunity.
Step by step, he forced Baili Gongshu into falling into his trap.
At his age, not only did he not see any clues during the entire negotiation, even the officials in the court of Daxia did not realize his true intentions.
If such a person does not die in the future, he will definitely become a prime minister in charge of the court of Daxia. If such a day really comes, he can at least ensure the prosperity of Daxia for a hundred years.
How unfortunate I am to be away from home!
Baili Gongshu felt helpless.
You have to know that Gu Jingzhi is only a sixth-rank official now. It is hard to imagine how difficult it is for him to make Emperor Xia give up Prime Minister Song Pu and support him wholeheartedly.
But Gu Jingzhi did it. Once this kind of person grows up, it will definitely be Beili's nightmare.
Guan Canghai didn't know the whole story of the negotiations, and he had no idea about Gu Jingzhi's calculations.
Even after hearing Gu Jingzhi's words, he was suspicious of him the moment he saw him in the delegation, but he was not worried at all. Instead, he smiled and said, "So what if you doubt me? So what if Baili Gongshu returns alive? General Wu has already made arrangements. It's too late now, haha..."
"Ha ha……"
Hearing Guan Canghai's arrogant laughter, Gu Jingzhi suddenly felt a little bored.
This Beili's top swordsman may have decent fighting skills, but his brain...
He didn't say anything, but he confessed everything in front of Prime Minister Beili, even though Baili Gongshu already knew it all.
