Chapter 87: Preparing to go north, Xiao Li was furious!
Three days later.
At the north gate of the capital, Gu Jingzhi brought Lin Chong and his brothers, Liu Sandao and others... Seeing that the delegations from Daxia, Beili and Liyue were clearly separated, a smile immediately appeared on his face.
When Xiao Li saw his smiling face, he immediately became angry.
Ever since their Li Yue delegation entered the capital of Da Xia, he knew that he had been played by Gu Jingzhi.
Xiao Li snorted coldly, "Master Gu is truly so majestic! Even my Liyue Envoys are nothing but mere creatures in your palms in your eyes. You are truly so good!"
Ever since he learned that Daxia and Beili had formed an alliance, he knew that things were going to be bad, but fortunately he didn't care.
Originally, he came to Daxia just to throw a smokescreen. If he could fool Daxia and let Daxia tie down Nangong Shouyi's troops... then that would naturally be good.
But if it cannot be achieved, then the purpose of their trip will be achieved, at least it can further cover up the fact that Wu Tianyao has already defected to Li Yue.
Seeing the indignant prince, Gu Jingzhi smiled and said, "I'm very happy that Prince Xiao can speak to me like this, but I don't like the tone of your voice..."
"???"
Everyone who heard this looked at Gu Jingzhi. Somehow, the more they listened, the more they felt that these words seemed to have a kind of magic power...
Xiao Li's face darkened. "Gu Jingzhi, I am Prince Tan Liyue. How dare you speak to me like that?"
"Prince Xiao, please forgive my bluntness! You have acted recklessly in the capital of Great Xia. The reason I'm not avenging you is because of the etiquette of my superior kingdom. That's why I haven't expelled you! You're shouting at the gate of Great Xia, do you really think my swords are useless?"
Gu Jingzhi's face was cold and he looked at Xiao Li with disdain.
Now that the negotiations were a foregone conclusion, he wasn't so despicable as to allow others to find fault with him and bring shame to Daha.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Li was so angry that his eyes turned bloodshot. He laughed in anger and said, "Very well! A mere official from Da Xia dares to humiliate me, Li Yue, like this. Today, this prince will kill you. Let's see if you, Da Xia, will break off relations with me, Li Yue!"
As he spoke, he drew out the long sword hanging on his horse's back.
Seeing this, Lin Chong and others immediately stood in front of Gu Jingzhi, but Gu Jingzhi was not afraid at all. Instead, he opened the box in Lin Feng's hand, and a simple yet majestic sword was placed in it.
Gu Jingzhi grabbed his sword and raised it high: "The Great Xia Dragon Bird is here, the three armies obey my command... Prince Liyue, Xiao Li, openly drew his sword to provoke me in my capital, and defied the power of the Great Xia..."
"Men of Daxia, follow me and draw your swords! Our target is the Liyue Envoys. We don't care if the bandit leader, Xiao Li, lives or dies..."
"Ho ho..."
Upon hearing this, the guards of the Daxia delegation immediately drew their swords and pointed the blades at Xiao Li.
Xiao Li's face suddenly changed color when he saw this. He originally just wanted to intimidate Gu Jingzhi to turn the tables on the negotiation. He didn't expect that Gu Jingzhi was tougher than him and actually dared to draw his sword. The key point was that this kid was holding... the sword of Emperor Xia!
Daxia Dragon Bird!
This is the imperial sword that Emperor Xia has carried with him during his decades of battles!
Xiao Li felt a little frightened!
He saw the heroic spirit of being ready to die in the eyes of those Great Xia soldiers, as if if he made any unusual movement, these soldiers would really rush up and chop him into pieces.
How could he know?
Although he is a prince, being the capital of Daxia is an unparalleled honor for the entire Daxia. For so many years, no other country has dared to draw its sword to provoke him at the gate of Daxia's capital.
Xiao Li's action directly violated the taboo of the Great Xia Army.
What's more, Gu Jingzhi also has the sword of Emperor Xia on him. This sword symbolizes the supreme authority of Emperor Xia. With this sword alone... he can mobilize at least an entire battalion of troops without the need for a military token, let alone command the three armies.
Emperor Xia usually carries this sword with him. Considering the chaotic situation in the north, he gave the sword to him to intimidate the northern generals.
When the Li Yue delegation saw the fierce and ferocious Great Xia army, they quickly surrounded them and protected Xiao Li behind them.
"Master Gu! Master Gu... My prince was only angry for a moment and had no intention of provoking Daxia. I hope both sides will put down their weapons..."
Deputy Envoy Li Yue ran to the center of the two armies, explaining with gestures and excitement.
Gu Jingzhi ignored him and stared at Xiao Li with his eyes fixed on him: "Prince Xiao, do you dare to fight?"
Gu Jingzhi shouted loudly, and the sound of the explosion was heard directly at the north gate of the capital. Even the Great Xia army guarding the city wall drew their bows and arrows, waiting for Gu Jingzhi's order, and they were ready to destroy the Li Yue delegation here!
Xiao Li's face was gloomy and uncertain.
Emperor Xia's sword has been taken out. Whether he likes it or not, he is bound to lose face today!
"Humph!"
Xiao Li waved his hand, and the guards of the Li Yue Mission put away their swords.
Baili Gongshu on the other side saw this scene and sighed slightly in his heart.
It’s not that he wants Da Xia and Li Yue to fight here, but he knows that Gu Jingzhi’s actions are actually meant to show them.
Gu Jingzhi was ordered to go north to take over the five states. Beili general Nangong Shouyi would certainly not hand over the state so easily. Although he did not dare to disobey the order of the Beili emperor, he still dared to make things difficult for the Daxia delegation and embarrass Daxia.
After all, one negotiation would require the surrender of five states, which would be a humiliation for any general guarding the border.
Nangong Shouyi has never been afraid of Daxia, so he is trying to make things difficult for them... Don't even think about it, he really dares to do this!
……
Seeing Li Yue admitting defeat, Gu Jingzhi curled up his lips in a disdainful smile. He thought you guys really dared to do it!
He placed the Xia Emperor's Great Xia Dragon Bird into the box and waved his hand: "Collect!"
"Shhhh..."
The mission guards put away their swords and stood silently in their places.
Gu Jingzhi took a glance and saw the curtain of the carriage was lowered. He cursed inwardly, "This old fox can sit still."
"set off!"
Gu Jingzhi took the box from Lin Feng's hand and got into the carriage. Lin Chong and others also climbed onto their horses. However, Lin Feng was the smart one who ran onto Gu Jingzhi's carriage and helped drive it.
After Gu Jingzhi put the box away, Lin Feng couldn't wait to ask, "Cousin, you just looked towards Beili. Could this matter be related to them?"
"no!"
"No?"
Lin Feng immediately asked curiously, "If you don't have any, then why are you acting like you're ready for a decisive battle with the Liyue Envoys? Isn't it for Beili to see?"
"It was indeed for them to see, but this matter has nothing to do with them!"
Gu Jingzhi said: "I came here first to intimidate Xiao Li, and secondly to warn Bei Li."
"Warn Beili? But why?"
Lin Feng was even more curious, and he turned around to look at Gu Jingzhi.
Gu Jingzhi just shook his head.
But the words of Emperor Xia and Wei Xuan reminding him came to his mind.
I hope that on the trip north... Nangong Shouyi can behave a little better!
