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

Ok?

Is there someone else who is more powerful?

Qu Feiyan subconsciously asked, "Is it the Marquis?"

Gu Yunzhi shook his head and said, "You'll know later! Right now, he's not suitable to be in charge of the secret guards. It's only because of his guidance that I've been able to remain calm and composed recently!"

"Uh……"

Qu Feiyan was slightly taken aback, but then she stopped dwelling on it and said, "They asked you to meet in an hour. I'm afraid they're still testing you!"

"Well, it's actually quite simple when you think about it. They're just giving me time to see if I'll tip them off, or if they'll make some arrangements around the Chunfeng Teahouse! Haha..."

Who do you look down on?

Do you really think I’m still the same Gu Yunzhi?

"But now is the best time to find their whereabouts. Although we can't make any arrangements in advance, my third brother said that you are an expert in this field. This time, it depends on you!"

Gu Yunzhi looked at Qu Feiyan, and Qu Feiyan nodded.

Since following Gu Jingzhi, Gu Jingzhi has taught me some spy skills from later generations. Although most of them are from TV dramas, they are still much better than those of this era!

Therefore, she was confident that even without any arrangements, she would be able to accurately find the whereabouts of Jin Lehuang and the others this time.

……

An hour later, Gu Yunzhi walked out calmly without much disguise and went straight to the Spring Equinox Teahouse.

She is now a well-known figure in Ningzhou. If she deliberately conceals something, it will be easier for people to notice. However, her behavior makes it natural for those who are hiding in the dark and following her to think that Gu Yunzhi is still the same Gu Yunzhi who has no lurking skills.

This is an unexpected gain!

Gu Yunzhi came to a private room and sat quietly. There was a screen facing the main seat of the room. Gu Yunzhi knew at a glance that although Jin Lehuang was willing to see her this time, she still did not intend to show her face!

She didn't care about this, but just waited silently, even looking at Ke Lou who was timing the time from time to time, with an innocent look.

A good while.

Jin Lehuang's voice came: "I heard that in the entire Ningzhou, many shops are already your property?"

"who……"

Gu Yunzhi seemed to be startled, and then stood up, only to see a vague figure behind the screen.

She hesitated and said, "You...are Her Royal Highness the Princess?"

"It's me!"

"Gu Yunzhi, daughter of the Gu family, pays respect to Her Royal Highness the Princess..."

Gu Yunzhi quickly pretended to be respectful and was about to pay his respects.

Unexpectedly, Jin Lehuang smiled softly and said, "No need. The country is in tatters right now. Your Gu family is an old minister that the Yun Kingdom relies on. There is no need to perform such a grand ceremony!"

"In that case, I would like to thank Her Royal Highness the Princess..."

Jin Lehuang wanted to win people's hearts, but Gu Yunzhi really didn't want to kneel. This was a perfect opportunity, so she stood up directly.

Seeing this, Jin Lehuang simply said, "Tell me why you want to do business in Ningzhou. You must know that the Ningzhou government never gives up on pursuing the fleeing bandits. Aren't you afraid?"

"Your Highness, I have mostly lived in the mountains. Even when I went down to do work, I always wore a veil. Very few people knew me!"

Gu Yunzhi explained softly, "Besides, this is the capital city. They certainly wouldn't have thought that a mere bandit like me would dare hide here, so I'm safe for now!"

"As for acquiring property, firstly, it's to conceal my identity, and secondly, I think the princess will need money a lot in the future, so..."

"That's why you disregard your status as a daughter of nobles and go out into the world, engaging in those lowly ways of a merchant! Alas..."

Jin Lehuang sighed softly, and said with emotion: "After all, you are a family of loyal heroes in my Yun Kingdom, and you are so righteous! Don't worry, if I succeed in my mission one day, I will definitely not forget your contribution to the Gu family!"

"Thank you, Your Highness Princess!"

Gu Yunzhi's face was filled with gratitude, but then he hesitated and said, "It's just that my younger brother was unfortunately arrested by the government and is now exiled. I beg Your Highness to lend a hand. This is the only child of our Gu family, and we must not let him get away with anything!"

"Alas! I also know about Gu Jia Erlang's affairs, but I'm at a loss as to what to do right now. I need to make a long-term plan!"

Jin Lehuang's tone was not fake. Before she got the Gu family's military order, both of the Gu family members were very important to her, especially Gu Huanzhi. As the only male in the Gu family, the military order was most likely in his possession.

She said, "Don't worry, Yunzhi. I will definitely find a way to rescue Erlang. But before that, I want to ask, do you have the military commander of the Gu family with you?"

"Military order?"

Gu Yunzhi was puzzled and said, "This military order has always been in my second brother's possession. Now that he has been convicted, it is possible that he has fallen into the hands of the government!"

"what?"

Jin Lehuang was shocked: "Why would he carry such an important thing with him?"

"This... My second brother regards military orders as his life and always carries it with him to remind him to always remember his responsibility to revitalize the Gu family..."

Gu Yunzhi explained with a somewhat aggrieved tone, then asked, "Your Highness, are you going to use military orders to call on the old members of the Gu Family Army?"

"cough……"

Jin Lehuang realized that he was getting a little anxious, and he coughed twice quickly, then said in a slow tone, "Yes! In my Yun Kingdom, the only one with such prestige, apart from you Gu family members, is this military order!"

"Oh!"

Gu Yunzhi thought for a moment and said, "It's just that I've been in this city for a while and haven't heard any news about military orders. I think there's another possibility!"

"Just tell me!"

Jin Lehuang asked hurriedly.

Gu Yunzhi said, "My second brother regards military orders as more important than his own life. If he had the chance before being captured, he would have hidden the military orders to prevent them from falling into the hands of others and exposing his identity!"

"However, my second brother never mentioned this matter until he was convicted and exiled!"

"Oh? Is that so?"

Jin Lehuang replied subconsciously, then stood there, not knowing what she was thinking. After a long while, she suddenly came to her senses and said through the screen, "Yunzhi, there's something I want to tell you. I wonder if you find it strange?"

"Ok?"

Gu Yunzhi was stunned and asked, "What is the matter? Please explain it to me, Your Highness!"

"The current governor of Ningzhou, Gu Jingzhi, has the same name as three generations of your Gu family. I wonder if you have any doubts?"

"If Your Highness hadn't told me, I would have almost forgotten it!"

Gu Yunzhi pretended to be enlightened and said, "Your Highness, who is this prefect? His name is so..."

"Humph! This man is the eldest son of that scoundrel Gu Heng. In his early years, because he coveted the wealth left by your Gu family, he kept him in his mansion and never showed him to the public!"

"He did this because he's worried that one day, you, the orphan of the Gu family, will appear and he won't be able to legitimately seize your Gu family's wealth!"

"what?"

"How could this be?"
