June 28, Quanzhou.

Early in the morning, the bustling Quanzhou City welcomed a special team.

Zhang Yi, the Minister of the Honglu Temple of the Great Xia Dynasty, brought a group of officials from the Science, Education, Culture, Health and Commerce Department to form an envoy of hundreds of people and officially went to the Great Sui Dynasty, which was particularly eye-catching.

Two days ago, the Honglu Temple of the Great Xia Dynasty had already notified the Honglu Temple of the Great Sui Dynasty and informed the envoy. Gao Ying, the Minister of the Great Sui Dynasty, received a report and asked Emperor Wen to agree. This was why the Daxia envoys arrived today.

Gao Ying, on behalf of Emperor Wen of Sui, met with the envoys and welcomed them to the Sifang Pavilion.

In the reception room of the Pavilion, the two ministers met separately.

Gao Ying picked up the teacup, took a sip, and asked, "Can you come here, what is the explanation for King Xia?"

The Daxia sent an envoy group to the Daxia team, which was not beyond the expectations of Emperor Wen of Sui and Gao Ying. It was just that the intention of Daxia was to continue to cooperate with the Daxia team, or to move towards confrontation.

No one can figure it out.

In this way, Emperor Wen of Sui arranged for Gao Ying to explore the verdict before officially receiving the envoys, so as not to cause any embarrassing things in the court.

Zhang Yi smiled slightly, and his full diplomatic style showed his style of Daxia, saying, "My king Youyan, Daxia and the Quanzhou court have always been friendly, and economic and trade exchanges are constantly. Now the royal city has changed its masters and the Emperor of Sui has arrived. He specially sent foreign ministers to congratulate him. At the same time, he also hopes to continue to maintain friendly exchanges with Quanzhou City."

Gao Ying heard this and breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "The King of Xia is beautiful, I will tell Your Majesty."

Next, the two old foxes fought for another round of maneuvers and tried to spy on each other's Xushi. After chatting for an hour, Gao Ying said goodbye and left, and went to report the good news to Emperor Wen of Sui.

Seeing this, Zhang Yi was thinking. This time, Daxia took the initiative to show his favor, and it depends on how Dasui repaid his favor.

…………

In the afternoon, Handan City.

The news that Daxia sent an envoy to the Sui Dynasty had already reached Emperor Chen's ears.

[Di Feng] The secret spy noticed that Gao Ying was calm when he left Sifang Pavilion, and he was not as solemn as early as possible. It was obvious that the Daxia envoys were not here to find fault.

"Emperor Wen of Sui is going to surrender." Di Chen stood in front of the window, looking up at the sky, feeling quite irritated.

Judy Fenghua looked at the man in front of him who was constantly frustrated but never fell down, sighed leisurely and said softly: "What are you going to do?"

Di Chen turned around, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and said, "You said, if the Daxia envoy was assassinated in Quanzhou, can they continue to cooperate?"

"Can it work?" Judy Fenghua hesitated a little, "The Sifang Pavilion has the guards of the Great Sui imperial guards, and the Daxia envoys also have high-level imperial guards accompanying him. It is too difficult to assassinate."

Di Chen smiled slightly and said, "You don't have to use swords to kill people, you can also use poison."

Judy Fenghua frowned and said in surprise: "Do you want to enable No. 15? Is it too unworthy?!" Judy Fenghua held the command of [Emperor Feng] and naturally knew the arrangement of [Emperor Feng] in Quanzhou.

Like Shanhaiwei, [Emperor Feng] set up a secret line in the nine royal cities. The No. 15 mentioned by Fenghua, the person on the surface, is an openly in charge of the Sifang Pavilion in Quanzhou.

In order to cultivate No. 15, Peerless Fenghua took a lot of effort.

Di Chen shook his head and said coldly: "The Great Sui Dynasty is a key piece to check and balance the Great Xia. We must not let them come together. If this matter can be accomplished, it is worth sacrificing No. 15."

"Okay, I'll do it now." Seeing Di Chen insisting, Judy Fenghua could no longer object.

After all, Di Chen is still the master.

…………

Night, Sifang Pavilion.

According to the system, Emperor Wen of Sui would not officially receive the envoys tomorrow.

Zhang Yi was not interested in Quanzhou and would not visit the city as Gao Ying said. Zhang Yi stayed in the museum all day to prepare for tomorrow's audience.

If you don’t go out, there are also safety reasons.

Before coming to Quanzhou, the king had an explanation, worried that someone would do an article about the envoy.

When Ouyang Shuo signed a trade agreement with [North Sichuan City State] and [North Hunan City State] last time, Chunshenjun arranged for someone to assassinate Fan Li, but Ouyang Shuo still remembered it vividly.

In this mission, in addition to the fifty most elite guards accompanying the shadow guard, the shadow guard was led by the guard commander Cui Tianqi, who personally guarded him in secret to ensure the personal safety of the envoys, especially Zhang Yi.

At 6 o'clock in the evening, Gao Ying came to Sifang Pavilion again to represent Emperor Wen of Sui and hosted a banquet for the envoys of the Daxia.

During the meal, there were so many singing and dancing together, which was very lively.

At this moment, the maid served a Gu Gu nourishing soup as the finale of the dinner.

"please!"

Gao Ying sat in the main seat, looked at Zhang Yi from afar, and said with a smile: "This is the ginseng soup made by His Majesty's special gift to Koryo ginseng. It is the most nourishing and can relieve fatigue."

Zhang Yi said, "The Emperor of Sui is determined." As he said that, he picked up the spoon, took a sip, and said, "It's really delicious."

Gao Ying looked very happy when she heard this, and the host and the guest were all happy.

Just as Zhang Yi took the third sip, he suddenly felt a severe pain in his abdomen. "Woo~~", accompanied by colic, Zhang Yi bleeding from his mouth and nose at the same time. The bright red blood dripped into the soup and quickly melted and turned into a blood flower.

"grown ups!"

Because he was attending a banquet and was in the hall, Zhang Yi was inconvenient to show off and only brought two imperial guards to accompany him. They stood behind Zhang Yi conscientiously and paid attention to the surrounding situation at all times.

Both of them discovered Zhang Yi's abnormality at the first time.

The imperial guard's exclamation immediately pierced the lively atmosphere of the banquet. Other members of the envoy looked in the voice and saw the leader bleeding from his mouth and nose. He seemed to have been poisoned. He was shocked and surrounded him.

"Sir!" An official from the Commerce Department exclaimed and shouted outside the door: "Come, come quickly!"

The envoys were standing guard outside the door, and when they heard the call, they were about to rush in. The problem was that the banquet hall was guarded by the Great Sui imperial guards. How could they let the guards rush in before they could figure out the situation?

Two groups of guards confronted outside the door.

“Get out of here!”

The accompanying guard captain looked solemn and pulled out the Tang sword from his waist without hesitation.

After "brushing", fifty guards drew their swords together, and under the moonlight, the cold light was shining.

The Great Sui Imperial Guard was not easy, and said in a deep voice: "No one is allowed to enter without orders." Fortunately, the general in command knew the importance of the soldiers, so he did not draw his sword, but showed his shield.

In an instant, the Great Sui imperial guards erected a shield wall in front of the door.

At the same time, the commander of the army deliberately shouted loudly: "Go to a team of people and see what happened." He said this just to make the Daxia imperial guards on the opposite side feel at ease.

"promise!"

A group of Great Sui imperial guards received orders and entered the banquet hall. At this time, the hall was in chaos.

Seeing that Zhang Yi was poisoned, Gao Ying could no longer remain calm. The spoon in her hand slid down and fell into the Gu "stop". The soup splashed everywhere, spilling Gao Ying all over, but she didn't realize it.

Gao Ying knew too well what a disaster would be for the Sui General if Zhang Yi was poisoned and died in Sifang Hall. Thinking of this, Gao Ying forced himself to calm down and said to the people around him: "Hurry, pass on the imperial physician!"

Treating Zhang Yi is the most urgent task.

"But you must not die." Gao Ying prayed in his heart.

When he was about to come, Gao Ying said to the imperial guards who came in: "Immediately block the Sifang Pavilion, no one is allowed to enter and exit. All the people in the banquet hall will be detained and investigated and interrogated one by one."

"No!" The captain of the Imperial Guard nodded and asked for instructions: "Sir, what should I do if the Daxia Imperial Guard outside?"

Gao Ying frowned, thought for a while, and said, "Let them in!"

Fifty guards cannot cause trouble. If they really want to forcefully stop them, something may happen.

"promise!"

In just a few minutes, Gao Ying had already arranged the chaotic situation and controlled it. He was indeed an experienced old minister.

After making arrangements for important matters, Gao Ying walked towards Zhang Yi. The fifty-year-old man walked like a wind. When the other members of the envoys saw Gao Ying, they all looked at each other with hatred.

Zhang Yi looked at Gao Ying in disbelief and said with difficulty: "You, you actually poisoned..."

Gao Ying said sincerely: "We have no intention of harming the nobles, and the imperial physician will arrive soon." At this moment, Gao Ying was inconvenient to make too many excuses. He believed that Zhang Yi was a smart person.

The more you say, the more likely you are to be misunderstood.

"Sir, you obviously got poisoned after drinking ginseng soup, how dare you argue?" The members of the envoy group were angry and almost pointed at Gao Ying's nose and started scolding.

Gao Ying had no expression on her face and just looked at Zhang Yi. After a few minutes, Zhang Yi's face turned dark and seemed to be very poisoned. When Gao Ying saw her, she felt even more worried.

Zhang Yi looked at Gao Ying deeply, and he could not tell for a moment whether the Sui Shangshu Ling in front of him was acting or telling the truth.

No matter what, Zhang Yi knew that he could not get out of his way at this time. He endured his physical discomfort and said to other members of the envoys and the guards who rushed in: "First, go back to the room first, no, don't move."

"yes!"

Zhang Yi is the backbone of the envoy, and no one dares to disobey his orders.

After a little leaning, Zhang Yi was transferred to the room and lay on the bed, while Gao Ying was stopped outside the door.

In the room, Cui Tianqi was already waiting, looking ashamed.

Zhang Yi knew that the young man in front of him was the king's true confidant. He endured the discomfort and said, "This time the enemy poisoned him, it is not your business, and it is not your business."

"Sir, what do we do?" Cui Tianqi asked.

"Everything, send the news back to the royal city as soon as possible." Zhang Yi was making the worst plan.

"clear!"

Cui Tianqi nodded vigorously, but didn't know how to do it, and disappeared into the room at once.

"You guys, let's go down. Let's talk about it when the imperial physician is here." Zhang Yi dispersed the other members of the envoy group, his face getting darker. "Remember, before things are clear, you must not have a conflict with the Great Sui Dynasty."

Zhang Yi knew the mission he shouldered on this mission. Seeing Gao Ying’s behavior, Zhang Yi would rather believe that it was someone else who poisoned him. This is true, so he should not be impulsive at this time, so as not to destroy the king’s affairs.

Zhang Yi has a small life, and the king has a big career.

"yes!"

When the other members of the envoys met, they had no choice but to leave.
Chapter completed!
