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

Chapter 67: Xiao Lang's 'brilliant plan' brought peace to the world, but it benefited

The noisy fighting also woke up the guards guarding the place. When they rushed in, they saw Gu Jingzhi fighting with someone.

The clash of swords and knives was so frightening to watch them.

The fight between these two people was not only extremely fast, but also extremely dangerous. If anyone was not careful, he would probably die on the spot!

"Hurry! Help!"

At the command of the inner guards, they surrounded them immediately.

Seeing this, the cloaked man snorted coldly and forced Gu Jingzhi back with a very dangerous sword. Then he rolled over and went directly to the roof, and then hurriedly fled, leaving a group of internal guards staring at each other.

Xiao Li finally reacted at this time. He walked forward with a smile: "Oh! Master Gu, I am so grateful to have you here today, otherwise this prince would..."

"Did Prince Xiao offend someone?"

Gu Jingzhi was too lazy to listen to his polite words and asked directly.

Xiao Li said, "To be honest, as the prince of Liyue, I have offended many people! But in the capital of Daxia..."

He feigned distress and said, "Those people wouldn't follow me to the capital of Daxia to kill me, would they?"

Gu Jingzhi said calmly, "Then according to Prince Xiao, these people were sent by Daxia, right?"

"Of course not!"

Xiao Li laughed awkwardly and said, "Daxia is a country of etiquette. How could they do such a shameful thing? It's just that..."

He said with a hint of meaning, "But there seems to be a Beili envoy in this city. I heard that the Beili envoy is accompanied by Beili's best swordsman, and the assassin just now also used a sword..."

"Prince Xiao, do you think that a weak scholar like me can stop the mighty Beili's number one swordsman?"

Gu Jingzhi said calmly: "It's better not to make random guesses without any evidence!"

As he spoke, he pointed to the corpse in the courtyard and said, "After all, the assassination took place within the territory of Daxia. How about letting Daxia handle this matter?"

"Of course!"

Xiao Li responded with a smile. His goal today had been achieved. Once this matter was spread to the outside world, the Great Xia court would surely be even more angry, right?

After all, the Beili delegation is no longer favored by the Daxia court because of the murder case. It makes sense for them to use some extraordinary means to destroy the alliance between Daxia and Liyue!

Things had come to this point, and Gu Jingzhi, his "good friend", seemed to him to be of no use. He dismissed him with a forced smile and left with his men.

As Xiao Li left this place, Gu Jingzhi raised his foot slightly and picked up a black object. He looked at the words on the token and put it away silently.

At this time, the inner guards came up and said, "Sir! We are incompetent... and let the assassin escape!"

Gu Jingzhi turned around, glanced at the inner guard coldly, and said softly, "He is indeed incompetent!"

He repeatedly ordered the internal security to monitor the diplomatic missions of the two countries, but he didn't expect that it would take so long for the assassination to happen before these internal security arrived. If something really happened, it would probably not be as simple as today!

After a brief explanation, Gu Jingzhi left here with an expressionless face!

He still couldn't understand why Xiao Li was stabbed.

The cloaked man from before... is undoubtedly the best swordsman in Beili!

If it were before, he would have doubts but would not be so sure. However, with Chang Wei's confession, he was 100% sure that this person must be Guan Canghai!

As for the two assassins who came later, their appearance was too strange. Everyone would think that they were the same group of people who assassinated Xiao Li this time. After all, the timing was just right. However, Gu Jingzhi knew in his heart that it was not the case at all!

Thinking of the token he had put away, the doubt in Gu Jingzhi's heart... grew bigger and bigger!

……

In the Beili delegation, Baili Gongshu's room was in a mess, with broken pieces of cups, teapots and other items scattered everywhere.

Baili Gongshu never expected that Guan Canghai would act on his own so often!

The last time he wanted to silence Chang Wei, he had already made Da Xia extremely unhappy. This time he actually went straight to assassinate Prince Li Yue.

The reason was surprisingly ridiculous. He naively thought that as long as he killed Xiao Li, he could destroy the alliance between Li Yue and Da Xia.

As long as Xiao Li died in Daxia, Daxia and Liyue would likely become enemies, and that would be their chance to leave Beili. Even if Daxia was angry, at most they would simply not form an alliance.

Everything returns to normal, which is at least better than having one more enemy, right?

After scolding Guan Canghai harshly and driving him out of the capital, Baili Gongshu still felt that he was still angry, so he threw things in the house violently, and only then did he vent his anger a little.

Before he could call for help, he heard that Daxia's deputy envoy, Gu Jingzhi, had arrived outside the door.

Baili Gongshu looked at the mess in the room and couldn't help but sigh, what is coming will eventually come!

……

Gu Jingzhi and Baili Gongshu met in a tea room in the post station.

Gu Jingzhi was playing with a cup in his hand and said calmly, "Master Baili, don't you have anything to say?"

"Deputy Envoy Gu wants me to talk about something? About the assassination of Prince Li Yue?"

Baili Gongshu paused for a moment as he brought the teacup to his lips, then calmly took a sip of the tea. "Although I, Beili, and Liyue are not on good terms, you can't force this assassination on me, Beili, right?"

"Heh... This matter really shouldn't be forced upon the Beili delegation, but..."

Gu Jingzhi chuckled faintly, then sighed softly, "Master Baili! I'm actually quite curious. Now that we've reached this point, is there any point in you, Beili, continuing to struggle like this?"

"Let's not even talk about whether we can find out the truth of the matter in these three days. Even if we can, if the results given by Your Excellency are not satisfactory to me, I can just delay for a while. What do you think you still have in your hand?"

"In your opinion, sir, are the answers and the truth really that important to the Great Xia court?"

"Master Baili is the Prime Minister of a country after all. He wouldn't be as naive as the average person, right?"

"???"

Baili Gongshu was stunned, his eyes suddenly blazing with anger. He said coldly, "So, Lord Gu has already found out about this, and is just deliberately dragging me, Beili, down. Is that right?"

"Master Baili, believe me, if the truth really comes out, I don't think you would want to know!"

Gu Jingzhi blew on the tea gently and said calmly, "He tried to kill Chang Wei in the street and openly assassinated Xiao Li in the Liyue Mission today. Do you really think I don't know that he is the number one swordsman in Beili hidden in your Beili Mission..."

"Watching the vast ocean?"

Gu Jingzhi looked at Baili Gongshu with a smile.

Baili Gongshu was shocked when he heard this. He never expected that Gu Jingzhi knew so much.

Unexpectedly, Gu Jingzhi's next words shocked him and made him doubt his life...
