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

Chapter 121: So what if the Prince's token is useless?

The person who came was none other than Princess Le Huang, whom Gu Jingzhi had met before at the Crown Prince's Mansion...

Jin Lehuang.

When Chang An and Lin Feng heard... that she was actually a princess, they stared blankly at Jin Lehuang who was riding towards them.

Jin Lehuang and her men stopped a few steps away from Gu Jingzhi. She looked at Gu Jingzhi and suddenly drew her sword from her horse.

"alert!"

Chang An shouted.

He didn't care about the princess or not at this moment. He and Gu Jingzhi had already formed a very deep friendship along the way. Moreover, Gu Jingzhi had personally taken up the sword for his brothers and saved the lives of so many brothers.

Men in the army value loyalty. Although his rank is lower than Gu Jingzhi, in his heart, Gu Jingzhi is a comrade-in-arms and brother.

Gu Jingzhi pressed down Chang An's spear and looked at Jin Lehuang.

"What does the county lord want to do?"

"Master Gu, for the sake of our brother the Crown Prince, please give me some leniency!"

Jin Lehuang was no longer as gentle as when they first met. Instead, she was just like when she was talking to Qu Feiyan before... cold and noble!

Gu Jingzhi raised his eyebrows: "The princess wants to kill Zhao Zhongli?"

"I must kill him, for my entire family, for those soldiers who died in vain, and for the old officials of my palace..."

Jin Lehuang's eyes were filled with anger and murderous intent.

In his tone... his determination to kill Zhao Zhongli was not concealed at all.

"I'm afraid it won't work!"

Gu Jingzhi said calmly, "Since Zhao Zhongli has arrived in the capital, he is already a dead man. The only law that can kill him is the law of the land. No one else... not even the princess has the right to execute him!"

"What if I insist on killing you today? Do you dare to stop me?"

Jin Lehuang said this with a determined tone, as if he would not give up until he achieved his goal.

Gu Jingzhi said expressionlessly, "I have a thousand soldiers behind me. Are you sure you can kill them all?"

"you……"

Jin Lehuang's tone stagnated for a moment, then she calmed down a bit and said, "Master Gu, how about considering it as this princess owes you a favor?"

"Although your favor is valuable, I am working for the imperial court, and the court has its own laws!"

"My orders are to bring Zhao Zhongli back to Daxia and hand him over to the law of the land... Princess, please withdraw!"

Gu Jingzhi knew exactly what to do and what not to do.

He is an official of Da Xia and a minister of Emperor Xia. What he did today might offend the princess, and he doesn't even know if the prince would have other intentions.

But Gu Jingzhi didn't care.

Although he and the princess's family had a close relationship twenty years ago, if he really let the princess go today, whether she and the prince were happy or not... it didn't matter at all.

The important thing is that if Emperor Xia is unhappy, he will be in trouble.

Seeing that Gu Jingzhi showed no mercy, Jin Lehuang's face turned cold. She took out a token and said coldly:

"This princess is thin-skinned, but I don't know how much face His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has. Will Sir Gu give it to him or not?"

"???"

Gu Jingzhi's face immediately turned ugly.

He never expected that this woman, Jin Lehuang, would be so troublesome as to bring up the prince directly.

This prince is really stupid. He actually dares to agree to such a thing.

Hemp egg!

He offends people everywhere, so what is there to be afraid of?

Gu Jingzhi said coldly: "Chang'an!"

"promise!"

Chang An sighed slightly.

Now that the Crown Prince had been brought out, it seemed like there was no point in continuing to insist. It was a shame they couldn't find out who was pulling all the strings.

He had no way to avenge his hundreds of brothers.

Just when he thought Gu Jingzhi was going to ask him to call for help, he heard Gu Jingzhi coldly say: "Zhao Zhongli is guilty, and only the laws of the Great Xia Kingdom can punish him."

"Furthermore, our delegation was ambushed on the way back to the capital. Hundreds of our brothers have yet to be avenged. Zhao Zhongli cannot afford to lose any of them."

"Anyone who dares to obstruct us will be treated as an offender of the mission!"

As he said this, he glanced at Jin Lehuang coldly.

When Chang An heard this, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then his heart was filled with blood. He shouted loudly: "According to the order of the imperial envoy, anyone who obstructs the delegation will be killed!"

"promise!"

All the soldiers of the guard drew their weapons and looked at Jin Lehuang and others with cold eyes.

Although they didn't know why this woman called the Princess came to ask for someone, hundreds of their brothers could not die in such an unclear way.

Besides, they were just following orders, and the imperial envoy represented the majesty of His Majesty the Emperor.

What's wrong with following orders?

Jin Lehuang looked at all the soldiers pointing their weapons at them, and his face turned extremely ugly.

She glanced at Gu Jingzhi coldly and raised her hand slightly: "Make way!"

"Wow!"

As soon as she said this, the dozen or so riders immediately made way for her.

Gu Jingzhi kicked his horse's belly and slowly walked past Jin Lehuang with the delegation and guards.

After walking a short distance, Chang An grinned and said, "Sir, who is that person? Why does he have the Crown Prince's token in his hand?"

"Don't ask what you shouldn't know..."

Gu Jingzhi said lightly.

Chang An immediately shut up, but after a moment he said unwillingly, "Sir, they have already shown the Crown Prince's token. You are so disrespectful, aren't you afraid of offending the Crown Prince?"

"I can't offend you!"

Before Gu Jingzhi could answer, Lin Feng on the side spoke first.

Chang An looked at Lin Feng curiously: "Brother Lin, how do you know this?"

Lin Feng glanced at him and said, "Why do you think my cousin just mentioned that he was ambushed?"

"Uh... why?"

Chang An was still confused.

Lin Feng suddenly felt a headache: "Brother Chang, we were attacked in Daxia. Anyone with a little common sense knows that this attack was definitely not aimed at our delegation."

"But if it wasn't the diplomatic corps, who could it be? Of course it had to be Zhao Zhongli!"

"Zhao Zhongli was just ambushed and killed, and so many of our guards lost their lives! What's the penalty for attacking the diplomatic mission?"

"Of course it's a death penalty!" Chang An subconsciously took over the conversation.

"That's right!"

Lin Feng said: "What's more, this is not just an attack on the delegation. We have encountered at least 3,000 enemies before. Where did these people come from?"

"I see, it's too..."

"Shut up!"

Gu Jingzhi glared at him unhappily: "What do you know?"

Isn't Chang An's mind a little too simple? Lin Feng said it so clearly.

The reason why he reminded Jin Lehuang's delegation that they had been attacked before was just to let her retreat on her own. Otherwise, you would come and kill them as soon as the delegation was in danger.

If someone deliberately takes advantage of you, it would be a lot of fun.

What's more, there is the issue of private soldiers here.

As the crown prince, he would not be implicated if he killed Zhao Zhongli, but what about these private soldiers?

No matter whether it was his intention to give up the prince's token or not, as long as Gu Jingzhi didn't want to give it up, it would be a loss of face for the prince.

The reason why he hinted to Jin Lehuang was that he believed that with this woman's intelligence, she would definitely understand.

However, the person behind this incident has not been caught yet, and there will probably be a lot of trouble in the capital in the future!
