The most powerful minister in the world

Jingxi dragged Guo Zitong all the way to the central hall and threw him on the chair unceremoniously: "Tell me, how do you want to die?"

Guo Zitong clasped his hands and begged for mercy: "Brother, how do I know you are doing something? If I knew that you would give me ten courages, I would not dare to interfere with your good deeds!"

"You've done it!"

Guo Zitong lifted up his robe with a look of helplessness on his face: "How about I kneel down for you."

"Come on, pull him down. I'm not as discerning as you. Tell me, what do you want from me?"

Guo Zitong slapped his head and grabbed Jing Xi's hand and whispered: "Li Junhao destroyed his eyes in Dali Temple prison, and he also wanted to bite his tongue to commit suicide!"

"I've known about your sister for a long time, and you came to tell me about it?"

"Huh? How did you know?"

Jingxi rolled her eyes at him and ignored him. He sat on a chair near the heating cauldron and warmed his hands and said, "I secretly went to Honglu Temple today and met with the envoy of Chen State."

"He didn't use this as a gimmick?"

Jing Xi shook his head and said, "Then Chen Guo is a foodie. He doesn't seem to care about his prince's life or death at all."

"Hey~ This is strange. Is it possible that Emperor Chen is really stupid and actually sent such a person to negotiate?"

"Hehehe~ Maybe there really is no one left in the Chen Kingdom."

Guo Zitong paced back and forth in the hall, sometimes touching his chin and sometimes scratching his head, which made Jingxi a little upset.

"Hey, hey, do you have anything else? If nothing else, get out of here."

Guo Zitong suddenly had an idea and said: "You said that the Chen State envoy deliberately pretended to be looked down upon by others. In fact, it was the confusion he spread. Maybe everything Lijun Haozi did in prison was instigated by him. , I guess there are two possibilities.”

Jing Xi nodded. He knew that as long as Guo Zitong had a bright mind, he would definitely be a first-class smart person.

"The first is that someone in the Chen State doesn't want Li Junhao to go back so easily. The battle for the heir apparent in the Chen State has become increasingly fierce in recent years, and he is the best prince in the hearts of all officials."

"The second kind..."

Jingxi took over the conversation and said, "The second option is to use Li Junhao's self-mutilation to lower the demands of our Southern Kingdom."

Guo Zitong nodded first and then shook his head, waving his hands and walking back and forth.

"Is there anything wrong?"

Guo Zitong did not answer. Instead, he sat next to Jingxi and played with the tea lid. After a while, he said: "When things go wrong, there must be monsters. Li Junhao will definitely not sacrifice the possibility of his succession in exchange for anything else. That's it." This is enough to prove that the Chen State envoy has other plans!"

Hearing this, Jingxi stood up as if struck by lightning and was about to walk out, but Guo Zitong quickly stopped him: "Where are you going?"

Jingxi shook him off and said with a gloomy expression, "Of course I'm going to report it to the Holy One!"

"You're crazy. We have no evidence. I'm just making a random guess. Besides, His Majesty doesn't like to see you right now."

"Is it possible to wait like this?"

Guo Zitong sighed and said: "There will be news about the talks between the two countries tomorrow. Just wait. Once the conditions are released, you will know what he wants to do by looking at his reaction. Don't get involved. Seeing that the New Year is approaching, you What you should focus on is your marriage!”

"Don't mention this to me. I still don't know which girl wants to marry me. She hangs me like this just to make me suffer all day long!"

Guo Zitong pressed Jing Xi on the chair, pursed his lips and said, "Actually, I know which family your Majesty has promised the girl to you."

"What?! How did you know, why didn't you tell me!"

Guo Zitong pressed Jingxi down again and said disgustedly: "I just found out about it. Yesterday I happened to meet the fourth prince at Rouge Tower and got very drunk with him. He put his arm around my shoulder and told me."

"Whose daughter is this?!"

Guo Zitong stared at Jing Xi for a while, then took a long breath and said, "Granddaughter of Duke Li Guo."

"What? Where did Li Guogong get his granddaughter?"

"I was confused at the time. I heard the Fourth Prince say..."

After Jingxi heard this, he lay on the chair without moving and muttered, "I'm going to call off the engagement."

"Okay, if you want me to die, just go ahead."

Indeed, if Jingxi goes out of his way to cause trouble in the Duke's Mansion and His Majesty investigates him step by step, then Guo Zitong will be punished with death, because no one should know about this matter.

"Ahem, Jingxi...don't tell Liu Ningmei about this..."

Jingxi glared at him and said, "You don't need to tell me, just stop talking to others when you're drunk!"

Guo Zitong nodded, put his hands in his sleeves and shrugged, taking a breath. The charcoal fire in the cauldron crackled, and Jing Xi looked at the dense snowflakes falling from the sky in the courtyard with his cheeks tilted.

Suddenly, the falling snowflakes were forced away by the sword energy hovering on a long sword with cold light. Jingxi was shocked and kicked Guo Zitong, who was stunned, and rolled away himself.

The long sword sank straight into an arm-wide beam. Jingxi looked up and saw the word "Tianhong" engraved on the Hantie sword near the hilt, and his pupils instantly dilated.

Guo Zitong put his head on the ground, sticking his butt out and said, "What's going on?"

Jingxi stood up like a carp and looked towards the long courtyard. He saw a person walking slowly in the squinting snow, wearing a black robe and a hat on his head.

Wherever his feet landed, thick snowflakes were blown away, and his whole body seemed to be blessed by a strong energy. None of the snowflakes that had yet to fall touched his body, as if they had eyes.

In the heavy snow, he waved his hand, and the long sword that had sunk into the beam suddenly flew back into his hand. He spun twice and retracted the scabbard.

"Master!" Guo Zitong couldn't help but exclaimed while still lying on the ground watching this scene.

Jingxi recognized the sword, but he was not sure whether the sword's owner had changed.

"Isn't it true that a friend has come from afar?" The black-robed swordsman spoke, loud and clear like a wooden stake striking a bell.

Jingxi laughed when he heard this and said, "Don't say what Old Man Kong said, lest your ancestors won't tolerate it."

"No, no, all schools of thought belong to the same family, and all schools of thought only speak one word."

Guo Zitong couldn't stand up after several carp thrusts, so he simply got up and asked Jingxi in a low voice, fearing that he would be dusted when he turned around: "Which word?"

Jingxi rolled her eyes at him, made a gesture of invitation and said, "Come in."

The black-robed swordsman twirled his sword a few times and put it behind his back with a smile: "I'm passing through the capital and came to see you. I can't stay long. If you have a bottle of good wine, I'll drink it and leave."

Jingxi hurriedly ran into the hall and soon took out a small pot of rare pear wine and threw it at the black-robed swordsman in the center of the courtyard. The swordsman stretched out the hilt of his sword and turned the palm-sized pot of wine on the tip of the sheath.

The swordsman threw the wine into the sky, caught it with his hand when it fell, uncorked it with one hand and drank.

"Good wine!"

After the swordsman finished speaking, he suddenly threw the wine back. Guo Zitong flew to catch it, shook it, turned to face Jing Xi and said, "There is still half a bottle left."

"Hahaha~ The remaining half a bottle of wine, drink it when the flowers bloom again, and say goodbye." The black-robed swordsman turned around and walked out of the hospital slowly, "Jingxi, don't let me look down on you. It shouldn’t be difficult for you to deal with small things, right?”

At the moment when the black-robed swordsman was about to disappear from sight, Jingxi shouted: "The temple is different from the rivers and lakes. If you are not in it, how can you know my difficulties?!"

"Hahaha~"

Under the bold laughter, the black-robed swordsman disappeared, but a token flew over from the snow. Jingxi caught it and put it in his arms without even looking.

Guo Zitong stood aside and was dumbfounded. What kind of state is this? Come and go without a trace, my God, today is an eye-opener.

"Who is this man? What did he give you? Show it to me. Show it to me!"

Jingxi pushed his close face and said, "Just go away and ask less. Knowing too much will not be good for you."

"You heartless person, I risked my life to tell you the secret of my marriage, and this is how you repay me?"

Jing Xi glared and said, "One code is the same, go, go, find your father."

Guo Zitong pouted: "I don't need you to care about me, show me what you have in your arms, just one look~"

This guy actually started acting coquettishly, and Jingxi kicked him disgustingly. At this moment, Lan Tianying flew in from the courtyard wall with his sword in hand, causing Guo Zitong to shout: "Here comes another master!"

"Hey~ Lao Lan, are you here to discuss with me?"

Lan Tianying looked around the courtyard and saw that there was nothing but thick snowflakes. He frowned and said, "Sir, are you okay?"

"Ah? What can happen to me?"

Lan Tianying walked over as if facing a formidable enemy and protected Jing Xi behind him: "I was just about to put away my sword and go back to the room, when I suddenly felt a compelling sword energy. I was afraid that someone would assassinate the young master, so I hurried over. "

Jingxi thanked him first and then said casually: "It's okay, it's okay, that's my friend."

Hearing this, Lan Tianying suddenly turned around and said in surprise: "Master, are you kidding me?"

"Is this...necessary to joke?"

Lan Tianying took back his sword and said sternly: "Judging from the sword aura, this person is definitely a master of swordsmanship. His sword aura can be opened and closed to accommodate thousands of things. It has obviously reached the point where man and sword are integrated into one. As far as I know , there are only three such people in the entire southern country, and it is impossible for them to come here."

Jingxi avoided his words: "Oh, so you can't beat me?"

Lan Tianying glared and said, "It's hard to say!" Then he cupped his hands and said, "Since the young master is fine, I will leave first."

Jing Xi smiled and watched Lan Tianying leave. Guo Zitong came over and said, "Where did you get this master? How many things have you secretly done behind my back?"

"Fuck you, Lan Tian should be from the Liu family."

Guo Zitong curled his lips and said with complete understanding: "Oh~~~~~~"

"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you, why don't you just get out of here? I'm annoyed just by looking at you." After saying that, Jingxi walked into his courtyard.

"Hey~ I am a guest after all, and you just send me away like this? You have no conscience."
