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

"We can only plan this in secret and never tell anyone about it, understand?"

Upon hearing this, the two Lin brothers nodded immediately.

Gu Jingzhi said silently: "In that case, let's pack up and wait until Old Huang's funeral is over. His Majesty probably has other important tasks to entrust to me. Then I will find a way to find a career for you."

He simply had no one he could use in the capital. Although Liu Sandao wanted to get close to him, Gu Jingzhi still felt that he would be more useful before gaining his complete trust.

After such a short period of contact, he suddenly realized that the two people chosen for him by his grandfather, whom he had never met, seemed to have been carefully considered.

Although Lin Chong acted impulsively just now, he was actually a simple and honest person. Perhaps his feelings for Gu Jingzhi's biological mother were too deep, so he acted a little impulsively.

Actually?

He didn't dare to attack anyone else because he was no match for his opponent's fighting power. It was very likely that he was born with supernatural powers.

My cousin Lin Feng is smart and clever, and his martial arts skills seem pretty good too. With a little training, he should be able to use them easily.

……

After the three of them cleaned up the house, everything returned to normal as if nothing had happened.

Lin Chong looked at Gu Jingzhi and suddenly asked, "Cousin, do you have any martial arts skills?"

"exactly!"

"No wonder!"

Lin Chong nodded secretly.

When Gu Jingzhi stopped him just now, he felt Gu Jingzhi's strong physical strength, which even blocked his natural supernatural power for a moment.

Lin Feng didn't think much about Gu Jingzhi's martial arts skills. Instead, he asked, "Cousin, I see there's another person living in your courtyard. I wonder..."

"You should be more careful about that person. He is definitely not a good person."

If Qu Feiyan was just an ordinary internal guard, he would not be so wary. However, as he got to know her better, he felt that this woman was not simple, or rather, her true identity was not that simple.

After hearing this, Lin Chong and his brother didn't quite understand, but they didn't ask any more questions and just nodded seriously.

Gu Jingzhi smiled and said, "I'm currently at a critical moment in my official duties, so I'll be quite busy these days and won't have time to entertain my cousins. Please forgive me!"

"It's too polite to say I'm sorry, but is there anything I and Brother Feng can help you with, cousin?"

They were sent by Lin Jiatu to help Gu Jingzhi. When they heard that he had important matters to attend to, they immediately started asking.

Gu Jingzhi thought for a moment and said, "There really is something important that requires my cousin's help!"

The Lin Chong brothers are very good at martial arts, especially Lin Chong, who is a natural talent for martial arts. His strength does not seem to be acquired through training like Gu Jingzhi.

Although Lin Feng had never seen it, he thought it should be pretty good.

When he left the embassy today, he specifically reminded Baili Gongshu to be careful, but facing the best swordsman in Beili, he was not very confident in the internal guards.

After thinking about it, I still think I should be more proactive. After all, although the letter of credence has been signed, if there is a problem with Baili Gongshu at this time, this letter of credence may still be invalidated.

……

That night.

Gu Jingzhi settled his two cousins, and then stood silently in the mourning hall.

Although he set up a mourning hall for Lao Huang, Lao Huang's identity was just a servant and not a real relative, so in principle, the court would not give him a vacation.

So, it's rare that I have some time to see him off.

In addition...

He poured wine for Lao Huang silently, but kept his ears perked up, listening to the movements in the yard.

Not long after, the sound of the door opening was heard from the house where Qu Feiyan lived. A strange look flashed in Gu Jingzhi's eyes. He put down the wine jug and quietly walked out of the yard.

Looking at the figure moving in an invincible manner, he thought for a moment and then chased after it.

Qu Feiyan kept moving back and forth in this residential area, and Gu Jingzhi followed behind her easily. After about an incense stick of time, he saw Qu Feiyan jump into a courtyard wall.

He followed quietly, and looking at the quiet courtyard, he was suddenly startled.

He quietly crossed the courtyard wall, looked around briefly, and then slowly crouched in one direction.

Not long after, he arrived at the bottom of an attic. Looking at the second floor where the lights were already on, he thought for a moment, then suddenly jumped up with force, grabbed the railing on the second floor with his hand, and landed steadily on the second floor.

Fortunately, although he was busy with official duties these days, he had been practicing martial arts diligently. With the help of the blood ginseng, he had now managed to break through the dark power.

This is the only way to follow Qu Feiyan quietly without being discovered.

Hiding quietly under the eaves, Gu Jingzhi pricked up his ear and just as he put it to the window, he heard Qu Feiyan's voice coming from inside.

"My Lady, I failed to do my job well and was unable to kill Xiao Li. Please punish me!"

As soon as Qu Feiyan said this, Gu Jingzhi was shocked. He had noticed Qu Feiyan's abnormality and had doubts in his heart, but he didn't expect that it was really her.

I continued eavesdropping with a hint of doubt in my heart when I suddenly heard another voice from inside the room: "Guan Canghai is trying to assassinate Xiao Li. With his skills, he should be able to hold back the guards around Xiao Li. Even if he can't hold them all back, the remaining ones probably won't be able to stop you and Yuheng... I'm very curious, how could you miss such a great opportunity?"

As soon as this person spoke, Gu Jingzhi's eyes suddenly widened.

Jin Le Huang? The current Le Huang Princess?

Although the tone was different from when they met in the Prince's Mansion, the voice remained unchanged, not to mention that Qu Feiyan still addressed her as Princess.

Qu Feiyan is actually Jin Lehuang's person... Jin Lehuang is just a princess of a fallen country, now the Princess of Daxia. What does she want to do by getting involved in the Inner Guard House?

"My Lady, it's Gu Jingzhi... I never expected that he actually possesses martial arts skills, and his skills are even better than mine."

"Gu Jingzhi? How is this possible?"

"My lord, what I said is absolutely true. Lord Yuheng also witnessed it with his own eyes!"

Qu Feiyan said, "After he stopped me, Lord Yuheng also failed to capture me. We were afraid of exposing our identities, so we evacuated the inn!"

"Is that really the case?" Jin Lehuang was somewhat incredulous. "Hasn't Gu Jingzhi always been treated poorly by the Gu family? How could he have the opportunity to learn martial arts?"

What's more, his martial arts skills are even better than Qu Feiyan's.

You know, Qu Feiyan has received extremely strict training in the Inner Guard Palace since he was a child. With his good talent, his martial arts skills are also extraordinary.

And what about Gu Jingzhi?

How could he have developed such excellent skills when he was locked up in the Gu family since he was young and was often treated poorly by Gu Heng?

For a moment, Jin Lehuang felt like he had heard the biggest joke of the past twenty years.

Qu Feiyan said, "Princess, this is the truth! Gu Jing ordered the internal guards to keep a close eye on the movements of the two countries' delegations. This gave us the opportunity to easily learn of Xiao Li and Guan Canghai's plans..."

"I wanted to go with the flow, but I didn't expect this to happen! And..."

Qu Feiyan seemed to hesitate slightly. Jin Lehuang heard the hesitation in her words and couldn't help asking, "What's the problem?"
