Chapter 37: Ambushed

Jiang Xunxue saw that Zhang Zhong was arrogant, so he continued to use the agitation method: "Then if you let one of them hold it above their heads for a while, I will believe it, I don't think you are willing to let the other envoys know that the warriors of the Eastern Thistle can't even lift a water jade cluster." ”

"You!" How could Zhang Zhong allow himself to lose face in front of other countries, so he asked one of his attendants to lift the water jade cluster above his head. Jiang Xunxue pretended to be amazed, walked around behind the attendant while watching, took out some pollen from his sachet, and then walked to the side of the attendant and applauded. The pollen was slapped by her, and it was sucked into the squire's nose, and the poor squire sneezed and lost his balance, and the water jade cluster shattered to the ground.

"Oops," Jiang Xunxue exclaimed in a low voice, and then said, "It's a pity that this water jade cluster is a pity, but although your attendant, General Zhang, is not worthy of his name, he has done me an extra favor." I was thinking about how to distribute this water jade to the adults present, General Zhang, your people broke things. Zhang Zhong's face turned blue and glared at the attendant fiercely. Jiang Xunxue ignored him and continued: "Bother the palace maid sister to clean up, and when this water jade is dispersed, I will bring it back to the ladies and adults to make jewelry for decoration." Ah by the way, General Zhang just mentioned that there are few such treasures in the Dongji royal family, and there is a water jade pillar on this ground that is quite complete, so give it to General Zhang. Zhang Zhong blushed, stunned and unable to say a word.

"Queen, you ask the palace maid to find a place to keep this water jade, and when the banquet is over, the ladies will pick a suitable one and take it away." The Queen Mother commanded slowly.

"Yes, Queen Mother." The queen hurriedly asked the palace people to clean up the ground.

Although Emperor Wu of Jin also wanted to give these envoys some power, but the thing was too much to make the other party unable to get off the stage is not what he wants to see, Sima Yan saw this and stood up and said: "I have heard for a long time that there are many treasures of Dongjishui jade, this golden variety is said to bring auspicious wealth to the master, and the ministers thank the queen mother for the reward." ”

Emperor Wu of Jin nodded, turned his head and discussed with the Queen Mother: "Yes, Queen Mother, this time the congratulatory gift of the East Thistle is very thoughtful, when General Zhang goes back, how about picking a return gift from the palace and giving it to the Lord of the East Ji Kingdom?" ”

The queen mother said: "The emperor can discuss this matter with the queen, the mourning family has ignored mundane affairs for a long time, and these matters are not as skilled as the queen."

"Okay, on the day General Zhang departs, I will send someone to send a return gift. Yuan Xi, please take a seat with General Zhang. ”

Yuan Xi immediately stepped forward to take Zhang Zhong into his seat and poured wine. Zhang Zhong can only give up when he sees that the matter has come to this point, if he really wants to care, he will also be at fault, the key is that if the rude thing is passed back on this kind of diplomatic situation, he will cause trouble for himself.

"Stinky girl, the coming day will be long, and you will look good when it falls into the hands of General Ben!" Zhang Zhong hated Jiang Xunxue.

At this time, Jiang Xunxue only felt very happy, but she didn't know how much trouble she had brought to the future. She returned to her seat, looked up at Cheng Yuqian, who had been staring at her, and smiled playfully. From the moment the queen said her identity just now, she felt that there was a gaze that had been following her, and sure enough, it was Cheng Yuqian's kid, and she couldn't help but laugh when she looked surprised.

Then it was Jiang Wei, the envoy of Daxing, who stepped forward to salute. As Yuan Xi's roll call fell, a young man in a white brocade dress and holding a painting fan came into everyone's sight. This young man was polite and magnificent, and the younger ladies present couldn't help but look at him twice.

"Caomin Gu Xingzhi has seen the Emperor Wu of the Jin Kingdom, visited the Empress Dowager of the Jin Kingdom, and wished the Niangniang blessings such as the East China Sea and Shoubi Nanshan."

Jiang Xunxue's eyes widened, and she was a little curious: "It's actually a cousin?" My cousin's name turned out to be Gu Xingzhi, a nice name. Every time I saw him, I hurriedly separated, forgetting to ask my name. ”

"Gu, okay, know?" Emperor Wu of Jin read the name word by word, as if something crossed his mind. He remembered that the two cities exchanged the lives of the head of the family. Unconsciously, he saw Jiang Xunxue's curious expression, thinking that she didn't know Gu Xingzhi, and relaxed his vigilance slightly, at least this proved that the Gu family had no contact with Qinglong Mountain over the years.

Gu Xingzhi couldn't help but mock in his heart when he saw Emperor Jin Wu trying to hide his emotions. At the beginning, for the sake of the Gu family's industry, Emperor Wu of Jin disregarded the friendship with Gu Xiaojun, the eldest lady of the Gu family, and slandered the Gu family for treason. However, Emperor Wu of Jin Dynasty was strict in his authority as the emperor, and he refused to let go of the head of the Gu family, and at the request of Gu Xiaojun, Qinglong Villa came forward to negotiate with the magnates of Daxingguo who had been favored with it, and finally Daxingguo gave up the two cities in exchange for the life of the head of the Gu family, and Qinglong Villa also paid a huge price for this, and offered all the treasures accumulated by generations.

If he could, Emperor Wu of Jin really wanted to pinch Gu Xingzhi to death on the spot. At the beginning, the matter of the Gu family made him lose face, but for the sake of those two cities, he had to release people. Those two cities face each other across the river from the land of Daxingguo, which is a chicken rib for Daxingguo, and this chicken rib is an important defensive place for him. Daxingguo exchanged his chicken ribs for the Gu family, who was very talented in business, and took away the treasure house of Qinglong Villa, no matter how you look at it, he has made a lot of money.

Gu Xingzhi saw that Emperor Wu of Jin didn't speak, so he spoke out to break the embarrassment: "If you go back to the emperor of the Jin Kingdom, Gu Xingzhi, the grass people, is here to congratulate you on his birthday instead of Jiang Wei, the little marquis who was seriously injured in the attack not long ago. Originally, the little marquis came to the Jin Kingdom to enjoy the flowers, and on the way, he got the will of the envoys, so he slowed down the trip, and wanted to join others at the border to enter the Jin Kingdom, but after the rendezvous, he suffered this catastrophe, and even the congratulatory gifts were lost. ”

"How is the little marquis's injuries now? Are the imperial doctors I sent still satisfied? ”

"Thank you for your concern, the little marquis's injury has stabilized, but it will take time to recover, and I am afraid that I will have to stay in the palace for a few more days. It's a pity for the old marquis, there is only one son under his knees, and he was grief-stricken when he learned about this, and dragged his illness and dignity to ask the emperor of Daxing to be the master, but unfortunately my majesty the emperor of Daxing has the heart and is powerless. ”

The corner of Emperor Jinwu's eyes jumped, this Gu Xingzhi was clearly in his words, and deliberately led him into the trap. "Oh? Why is that? "At this point, Emperor Wu of Jin had to go on even if he didn't want to.

"The place where the little marquis was ambushed is at the junction of the east thistle of the Jin Kingdom, how can I extend my hand to other countries in the Great Xingguo."

"Gu Xingzhi! You're clearly trying to throw dirty water on us, right? Zhang Zhong was already holding his breath, but when he heard Gu Xingzhi's words, he couldn't help but stand up and confront him.
