Chapter 34 Found a clue!
"it works!"
Gu Jingzhi slowly uttered two words.
Although Qu Feiyan was transferred from the Inner Guard to help him, given that this woman often disappeared, Gu Jingzhi's feelings towards her... could not be described as hostile, but he did not have any trust in her!
Qu Feiyan didn't ask any more questions, but simply said, "Wu Tianyao's files will be delivered soon. As for the battle reports from the Beili countries..."
"As soon as possible!" Gu Jingzhi said in a serious tone.
He himself did not have much trust in Qu Feiyan, and similarly, Qu Feiyan did not seem to think much of him. Although she did not say it, she always felt that it was absurd to entrust such a new official like Gu Jingzhi to handle the important diplomatic affairs between the two countries.
At one point, I even thought that this was the son of a powerful family who was released to gild his reputation.
Qu Feiyan continued coldly, "The military archives need to be coordinated with the various government offices..."
Swish!
A gold medal appeared in front of her, and Gu Jingzhi said coldly: "Is this enough?"
Qu Feiyan's face immediately changed. She took two steps back and knelt on one knee.
Kneeling is not a custom in Daxia. Except for special sacrificial activities, only the military will perform the kneeling ceremony. However, this is a military salute, which is used to express respect and show the general's bravery and determination to sacrifice himself.
Qu Feiyan knelt on one knee because the inner guards belonged to the emperor's personal army.
Gu Jingzhi looked at Qu Feiyan who was kneeling on one knee and said indifferently: "Tonight, what I want must be placed on my desk!"
"promise!"
Qu Feiyan agreed expressionlessly. Gu Jingzhi immediately put away the token and turned to leave.
Except for the beginning, because of the girl's appearance and cold temperament, Gu Jingzhi felt a little curious. However, after a month of observation, he no longer had much patience for Qu Feiyan.
Although he cooperated with Gu Jingzhi's assignment, he was very rigid.
He could never understand why Tianshu put such a person in his hands. He looked smart, but his brain didn't seem to be smart at all.
……
That night, Gu Jingzhi was sitting in his room reading a book quietly when Qu Feiyan walked in holding a file.
"These files are top secret. You only have one night. You must return them tomorrow morning!"
Qu Feiyan said coldly.
Gu Jingzhi nodded slightly and gestured to put the file down.
This time, the woman was quite decisive. She put the file down, left on her own initiative, and ran to guard the door.
Seeing this, Gu Jingzhi's eyes fixed.
This file does seem to be very confidential.
Picking up a file at random, Gu Jingzhi began to flip through it silently. Although this file didn't seem to have much in it, it recorded some details of the battle between Beili and Liyue over the years. Gu Jingzhi didn't dare to be careless.
His keen intuition told him that some of the keys to this negotiation might be in these files.
Unknowingly, a night passed. Gu Jingzhi silently closed the file, leaned back in his chair, and slowly analyzed the contents of the file in his mind.
On the surface, there seems to be nothing wrong with these files, and the details of each battle are written in considerable detail.
If you just look at it simply, people will only think that the eldest prince of Liyue... that is, Xiao Li, has strong leadership ability. Beili's general Wu Tianyao has never won even a war under him.
Judging from the records in the files, the war between Beili and Liyue Kingdom seems very logical regardless of whether they win or lose.
But the key lies in Wu Tianyao.
This great general of Beili has fought against many generals and even princes of the Liyue Kingdom and has never been defeated. No matter how dangerous the battle situation is, Wu Tianyao, who is known for his strange and dangerous tactics and is one of the three most famous generals of the time, is always able to turn the tables in the end.
However, after meeting Xiao Li, his myth of invincibility began to shatter.
It seemed that he had fully understood his way of using troops. When Xiao Li fought against Wu Tianyao, he was able to see through Wu Tianyao's strategies as high as 80%.
As a result, Wu Tianyao finally did not dare to use any unusual or risky strategies, and on the front battlefield, the Beili Army's combat effectiveness was indeed inferior to that of the Liyue Kingdom.
Therefore, over the years, Beili suffered more defeats than victories, and subsequently lost three states. This also earned Xiao Li the reputation of being Wu Tianyao's nemesis.
The reason why the three famous generals did not become four was simply because Prince Li Yue did not fight with the other two famous generals.
Moreover, Xiao Li had no experience in commanding large-scale combat.
The three most famous generals of the time, two in Beili and one in Daxia, not only fought against each other, with victories and defeats, but also commanded large-scale battles exceeding 300,000 troops and won them.
Only with such achievements can one be qualified to be among the world's famous generals.
Looking at the entire world, the only ones who have been able to meet this condition in the past fifty years are Wu Tianyao and Nangong Shouyi of Beili, and the current Duke of Yingguo Li Sheng and Emperor Xia of Daxia.
However, Emperor Xia was the supreme ruler, so he was not included in the list of famous generals in the world.
In other words, a famous general who even Emperor Xia had to deal with with caution in military affairs was actually suppressed like this.
Even though Xiao Li is extremely talented, as a general who is good at using strange and dangerous tactics, his best skill is to surprise the enemy. How could this battle turn out like this?
The most important thing is that after a brief contact with Xiao Li yesterday, Gu Jingzhi did not think that Xiao Li's personality had this ability.
After all, he had been in contact with Emperor Xia during this period, and he had some understanding of Emperor Xia's great talent and strategy!
Of course, whether this is intentional or simply his nature remains to be seen. Perhaps there is a master behind the scenes directing this Beili Crown Prince. All of these are possible.
It was precisely because of his repeated successes in battles with Beili that the eldest prince Li Yue, who was originally a concubine's son, surpassed the unanimously favored third prince Xiao Yan in the Li Yue court.
If there is something fishy about the war in the north, then the outcome of this negotiation will not depend on the negotiation itself.
Gu Jingzhi would not jump to conclusions easily, and he would use role substitution to outline the incident itself. If his guess was true, then what role did Wu Tianyao play in it?
What was his purpose in letting Guan Canghai, who was known as the best swordsman in Beili, accompany the delegation?
Xiao Li left the northern battlefield and took the initiative to go on a diplomatic mission to Daxia. His purpose was naturally to destroy the alliance between Daxia and Beili, but what means or conditions did he plan to use?
If there really is something fishy about him, then what the Inner Guards said before, that this Beili's number one swordsman was sent by Wu Tianyao to protect Baili Gongshu... is probably just a false illusion.
Gu Jingzhi currently has no idea how strong a top swordsman is. However, having such a swordsman by his side does provide a great guarantee of safety.
But as for swordsmen... besides protecting people, they are also good at killing people.
The number one swordsman in Beili is in the Beili delegation. Does the Crown Prince Li Yue know about it?
It seems that I have to meet them as soon as possible, at least to find out more about their background.
