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

After treating all the wounded soldiers of the guard and burning the bodies of the rebels and the guard brothers, Gu Jingzhi took out a letter and handed it to Lin Feng.

"The border troops are being redeployed. The person currently stationed in Beichuan Prefecture is Li Sheng's deputy general, Gan Mao. I previously discussed the affairs of the prefecture with Li Sheng at the General's Mansion, and Gan Mao was there! Give him the letter, and he'll know what to do!"

Lin Feng took the letter and asked doubtfully, "Cousin, are you going to transfer troops from the border troops to escort them?"

"Otherwise, we might encounter various interceptions along the way!"

Gu Jingzhi said silently: "You take two fast horses and go. I will stay in the town ahead for three days. You must arrive within three days, otherwise something unexpected will happen!"

"Three days..."

Lin Feng frowned and said, "Cousin, isn't this taking too long? Why don't we go back to Beichuan Prefecture and wait until the army arrives before heading south?"

"no!"

Gu Jingzhi shook his head and said, "The town ahead is not far from here. Even if the enemy deploys again, it will probably take some time! But if our main force moves north, the enemy will definitely be alert. If they send more people, we will be in danger!"

"Okay, I'll rush to Beichuan Prefecture to get reinforcements!"

Lin Feng nodded.

Gu Jingzhi patted him on the shoulder and said, "Pay more attention to your injuries. Bring more water and medicine on the road. Don't be careless!"

"They are just some superficial injuries. Don't worry, cousin. I will pay attention to it!"

"Yeah! Go ahead!"

Gu Jingzhi nodded silently.

Lin Feng led the two war horses over without saying much, just nodded to Gu Jingzhi, and then quickly headed north.

Until Lin Feng completely disappeared from Gu Jingzhi's sight, he said to Chang An: "Let's go, brothers, hold on for a while, and then rest for a few days when we get to the town ahead!"

Chang An nodded silently, then pulled over a warhorse: "Sir, the carriage has been given to the seriously injured brothers, you should ride on horseback!"

"Give way to the injured brothers. I can walk for a while!"

Gu Jingzhi shook his head. It was not that he was being pretentious, but there were many wounded soldiers at the moment, and the guards could not move fast at all. Even if he rode a horse... at most he could only save some energy.

It would be better to make the wounded more comfortable.

Chang An saw Gu Jingzhi walking with the rest of the delegation, and finally just sighed silently.

……

After the guards set out, they spent quite some time arriving at a town. After spending a lot of effort settling all the soldiers, Gu Jingzhi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Chang'an! Notify everyone..."

"All brothers in the mission who are still able to fight are responsible for taking turns to keep watch. No loud noises are allowed at night except for warnings!"

"Also, all purchased food must be strictly selected, and no one is allowed to enter or leave without orders from the mission!"

"..."

Gu Jingzhi gave orders quickly, and Chang An nodded seriously with every order. After Gu Jingzhi finished giving orders, he immediately went to make the arrangements.

After giving instructions to the delegation, Gu Jingzhi hurried to the place where Zhao Zhongli and others were imprisoned.

Seeing Gu Jingzhi coming, Zhao Zhongli didn't hesitate and directly took out a few letters and handed them to him. Gu Jingzhi opened them and saw that they were exactly the same as what Zhao Zhongli said. He immediately said:

"When you write your confession later, I want you to add a few words!"

"???"

Zhao Zhongli was stunned and looked at Gu Jingzhi suspiciously: "Do you have any other purpose?"

Gu Jingzhi's eyelids fluttered. "My current identity is still Gu Heng's eldest son. Do you think there will be no problems if I hand over this confession and evidence?"

"..."

Good god, I actually forgot about this.

Zhao Zhongli smiled bitterly.

Although everything that happened to him today was caused by Gu Jingzhi, he seemed to have no other choice but to cooperate.

Taking Gu Jingzhi along to be buried together?

It's obviously impossible.

If he had this idea, he was afraid that his entire family would not survive. After all, his life was still in Gu Jingzhi's hands. When the time came, as long as he said that he was killed by someone, no one would be able to blame Gu Jingzhi.

After all, the ambush was a fact, and the mission guards also lost a lot of people. Without Zhao Zhongli, the entire mission was safe.

He silently wrote down the whole story of his collusion with Gu Heng, word for word, and mixed in some of the content that Gu Jingzhi wanted. After about half an hour, the confession was finally completed.

After he bit his finger and pressed his fingerprint on the confession, Gu Jingzhi put the confession and the letter together.

"Don't worry, I will leave your grandson alive. Also, I don't know what we'll encounter on this journey south, but I will do my best to ensure your safety..."

After saying that, he turned around.

Zhao Zhongli looked at Gu Jingzhi's back with a slightly complicated feeling.

"Wait a minute!"

Seeing that Gu Jingzhi was about to step over the threshold, he subconsciously shouted.

Gu Jingzhi turned around, looked at him doubtfully, and asked, "Is there anything else that you haven't written clearly?"

"no!"

Zhao Zhongli opened his mouth and finally sighed, "Besides you, there should be two other people in your Gu family still alive..."

"???"

Gu Jingzhi was a little confused.

Gu family?

Zhao Zhongli said quietly, "Two children from the Gu family escaped back then, but my men didn't kill them!"

"Where are they?"

Gu Jingzhi couldn't tell whether he was in a good or bad mood, but since someone from the Gu family was still alive, it was necessary to at least look for him.

Who thinks,

Zhao Zhongli shook his head and said, "They should have gone to Ningzhou. After all, that's where the Gu family is based. They were only six or seven years old back then. If nothing unexpected happened, they should still be alive!"

Ningzhou, Ningzhou again...

He was only seven or eight years old.

Or escaping in a chaotic place, the probability of survival... is really hard to say.

But he still nodded and said thank you.

Although the hope is slim and perhaps we will never see each other again in this life, Zhao Zhongli is indeed as he said. Compared with Gu Heng, he still has some bottom line, although not much.

The reason why he thanked me was not for anything else.

He did not reveal this news to Gu Heng, which at least saved his life. Otherwise, if Gu Heng knew about it, he would have been of no value.

Given Gu Heng's personality, it might not be his turn to travel through time.

……

As soon as Gu Jingzhi went out, he met Chang An who came hurriedly. Seeing his anxious look, Gu Jingzhi was stunned: "What big thing happened?"

"Sir, you are still injured. The military doctor is looking for you everywhere. You must not be careless!"

Chang An was helpless.

Gu Jingzhi is the head of the delegation. If anything happens to him, their guards will not suffer either.

Gu Jingzhi: “…”

It's just a minor skin injury, why are you so nervous?

Chang An dragged him to change the medicine. Seeing that Chang An had not left yet, he couldn't help but ask, "Anything else?"

Chang An hesitated for a moment and asked, "Sir, it is very likely that the border troops attacked us this afternoon. Now that you have His Majesty's imperial edict, you can definitely order a thorough investigation. Why did you..."

"Why not just ignore it?"

Chang An nodded.

Gu Jingzhi sighed: "..."
