The first poisonous scholar in Daxia, starting from the abdication of the prime minister

Chapter 69: Seal off the Beili Mission Inn!

Although Gu Jingzhi kept saying that he would return it...but the meat in his mouth was his.

For Baili Gongshu, the lands of the five states were ceded!

He worked tirelessly for Beili his entire life, but in his old age, he was forced to cede five states without even sending a single soldier. This will probably be recorded in later history books...

The more glorious Gu Jingzhi is, the more miserable Baili Gongshu will be.

After all, the recovery of the five states would be a highlight in the history books of any dynasty. Even if Gu Jingzhi died and his name did not exist in the history books, this event would still be recorded.

After the two men reached an agreement, they immediately drafted a letter of credence.

After the two sides signed, Gu Jingzhi said: "This letter will not be published by our Great Xia for the time being. Lord Baili has enough time to arrange matters in the north. Before Lord Baili leaves, the Liyue delegation cannot pass on any news from here."

"Of course!"

He smiled faintly and said, "This matter still requires negotiation between you and your country. When the delegation heads north, His Majesty will dispatch a delegation to take over the Five States simultaneously. We hope that no conflict will break out between the two countries by then."

"Master Gu, please rest assured. Now that our two countries have formed an alliance, we will naturally forget about this!"

"In that case, I will report this to His Majesty!"

"Well!"

Baili Gongshu nodded, then suddenly seemed to think of something and asked, "Master Gu just mentioned that my delegation should be more vigilant these days. I wonder..."

"hehe!"

Gu Jingzhi smiled and said, "Since this Beili's top swordsman beside Lord Baili is not one of us, I'm sure he will do something different, right?"

"This……"

Baili Gongshu's face changed drastically.

Chang Wei's murder and the assassination of Prince Li Yue were both directed at the Beili delegation. If Da Xia still kept the Beili delegation in Beijing, Xiao Li might do something crazy for Li Yue's benefit.

Just like the assassination of Xiao Li, if something goes wrong with Baili Gongshu, Daxia and Beili will also turn against each other.

"If the guards around you, sir, are incapable of doing so, I can lend a helping hand!"

Since they had already formed an alliance, Gu Jingzhi didn't mind showing some goodwill. Without waiting for Baili Gongshu to respond, he continued, "Also, to avoid Xiao Li's suspicion, I will notify someone to seal off the posthouse after I leave. I'll have to inconvenience Master Baili!"

Upon hearing this, Baili Gongshu simply nodded and said, "Thank you for your help, Master Gu!"

"You're welcome! Daxia and Beili are allies now!"

Having said that, he put away the letter of credence and left with a smile!

……

As soon as they left the posthouse, Gu Jingzhi's face turned cold, and he casually called for the inner guards: "Mobilize a group of troops and seal off the Beili Mission Posthouse. No one is allowed to enter or leave without my order. Anyone who disobeys my order... will be killed on the spot!"

"What?"

The inner guard's eyes bulged. He never expected that Gu Jingzhi would dare to issue an order to seal off the post station.

Seeing this, Gu Jingzhi asked, "Do you want me to repeat it again?"

"No, no need!"

The inner guards immediately shouted, "Wang Xiaoliu, go back to the inner guard house and mobilize some people. Tell them that Lord Gu has ordered the Beili Posthouse to be sealed off!"

"promise!"

……

The news that Gu Jing ordered the blockade of Beili Posthouse spread throughout the city in an instant. Many people were dumbfounded when they heard it, shocked by Gu Jing's audacity.

Especially Xiao Li, who almost laughed out loud when he heard that Gu Jingzhi blocked the Beili Posthouse as soon as he came out of the Beili delegation.

He never expected that Gu Jingzhi would fall into his trap so easily.

When Emperor Xia and the Crown Prince heard this in the depths of the palace, their brows were furrowed so tightly... that they could pinch a fly to death.

He glanced at the Crown Prince and asked, "What's this Gu Jingzhi doing? Why is he blocking the Beili Mission's post station for no reason?"

"This...I don't know either!"

The prince smiled bitterly. He and Emperor Xia both knew about Gu Jingzhi's plan, but it would have been fine if Gu Jingzhi didn't just refuse to talk to them, but why did he put them under house arrest?

These two countries cannot use force to coerce each other during negotiations, right?

Tianshu, who was standing nearby, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty! In my opinion, this matter is related to the assassination of Prince Liyue!"

"Did Beili really do it?"

Emperor Xia frowned slightly. Based on his understanding of Baili Gongshu, he shouldn't be so impulsive.

Tianshu nodded and said, "Your Majesty, the person who did it is most likely Guan Canghai, the best swordsman in Beili, who is infiltrated with the Beili envoys!"

"Nonsense!"

Emperor Xia threw the memorial on the table and said unhappily, "How could the Beili envoys act so recklessly? I've already suppressed the murder case. How could Baili Gongshu be so foolish?"

Although what Tianshu said was very likely, what kind of person was Emperor Xia?

I can smell the smell right away!

This matter has not been investigated, but once there is solid evidence, how can the negotiations proceed?

The assassination of an envoy from another country in Daxia was a slap in the face of Daxia. If it was confirmed that it was Beili, Daxia would have to expel him for the sake of its own reputation even if Beili offered more benefits.

After scolding Baili Gongshu, he immediately became annoyed again: "What's going on with Gu Jingzhi? If there is no evidence, why did he seal off the post station? Isn't this the same as telling everyone that Beili did it? It's ridiculous!"

Emperor Xia was somewhat annoyed.

This Gu Jingzhi is too unreliable!

"Is Gu Jingzhi the person transferred from your Inner Guard Office?"

"Yes!"

Tianshu said respectfully.

Emperor Xia suddenly became even more angry: "Gu Jingzhi is making a fuss, and you, the Inner Guard, are also following suit?"

"Lord Gu holds the imperial token, and the Inner Guards dare not disobey!"

"Nonsense!"

Tianshu opened his mouth and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, Lord Gu has sent a message from the inner guards, saying that he wants to see Your Majesty. I believe he will explain this matter to you in person shortly!"

"He's just in time!"

Emperor Xia snorted coldly: "I will see what else he can say in a moment!"

……

After leaving the mission inn, Gu Jingzhi first went home to change his clothes. After all, he couldn't wear casual clothes when entering the court.

Before leaving, he met Qu Feiyan who had hurried back. Qu Feiyan glanced at him, walked past him and wanted to leave.

"and many more……"

Gu Jingzhi suddenly stopped her. Qu Feiyan looked at him with a pair of doubtful eyes. He said, "I'm going to the palace to meet the emperor soon. Can you help me look after Old Huang's mourning hall..."

"understood……"

Qu Feiyan said this expressionlessly, but immediately after that he coughed twice.

Gu Jingzhi asked doubtfully, "Are you...sick?"

He could clearly hear a hint of disorder in Qu Feiyan's breath, and her voice also seemed a little short of strength.

"None of your business!"

Qu Feiyan just said this coldly, then walked around him and went straight to her house.

Gu Jingzhi looked at his back and opened his mouth, wanting to give her a reminder, but looking at her back... his expression suddenly changed!

This back view...
