Chapter 910

On June 28, Quanzhou.

Early in the morning, a special team ushered in the lively and bustling city of Quanzhou.

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

Two days ago, the Honghe Temple of the Great Xia Dynasty had sent a note to the Honghe Temple of the Great Sui Dynasty, informing them of the mission. The Great Sui Shangshu ordered Gao Ying to report, and after asking Emperor Wen for instructions, he agreed, and only then did the Great Xia envoys arrive today.

Gao Ying received the envoys on behalf of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty and welcomed them into the Sifang Pavilion.

In the reception room of the pavilion, the two ministers met alone.

Gao Ying picked up the teacup, took a sip, and asked, "Your envoy is here, what can King Xia have to say?"

Daxia's sending of envoys did not exceed the expectations of Sui Wendi and Gao Ying, but what was the intention of Daxia's mission, whether to continue to cooperate with Da Sui, or to confront.

No one can tell for sure.

In this way, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty would arrange for Gao Ying to take a breather before officially meeting the envoys, so as to avoid any embarrassing things in the court.

Zhang Yi smiled slightly, with a full-fledged diplomat demeanor, showing Daxia's character, and said: "My king has a word, Daxia and the Quanzhou court have always been friendly, and economic and trade exchanges have continued. Today, the king's city has changed hands, and the Sui Emperor has come to visit. Special foreign ministers came to congratulate , and at the same time hope to continue to maintain friendly exchanges with Quanzhou City."

After hearing this, Gao Ying breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Prince Xia's kindness, I will definitely pass it on to Your Majesty."

Then the two old foxes fought for a while, trying to spy on each other's reality. After chatting for an hour, Gao Ying just left and went to report the good news to Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty.

Seeing this, Zhang Yi was thoughtful, this time Da Xia took the initiative to show favor, it depends on how Da Sui reciprocates.

…………

In the afternoon, Handan City.

The news that Great Xia sent an envoy to Great Sui had already reached Dichen's ears.

[Emperor Style] The secret agent even noticed that Gao Ying left the Sifang Pavilion with a calm demeanor, not as dignified as in the morning, obviously the Great Xia Envoys did not come to find fault.

"Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty wants to be subdued." Di Chen stood in front of the window, looking up at the sky, feeling rather irritable.

Peerless 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?"

Dichen turned around, with a gleam of coldness in his eyes, and said, "Tell me, if the Daxia envoys are assassinated in Quanzhou, can they continue to cooperate?"

"Can it do it?" Jue Dai Fenghua hesitated, "Sifang Pavilion is guarded by the imperial guards of the Sui Dynasty, and the envoys of the Great Xia are also accompanied by senior imperial guards. It is too difficult to assassinate."

Di Chen smiled slightly, and said leisurely: "You don't have to use a sword to kill people, you can use poison too."

Jue Dai Fenghua frowned, and said in surprise: "You want to use No. 15? Would it be too unworthy?!" Jue Dai Fenghua is in charge of [Difeng], so he is naturally clear about the arrangement of [Difeng] in Quanzhou.

Like Shanhaiwei, [Emperor Wind] has set up dark lines in the nine king cities, and the number 15 that Jue Dai Fenghua talks about is a principal of Quanzhou Sifang Pavilion.

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

Di Chen shook his head, and said coldly: "Da Sui is a key piece to balance Da Xia, and they must never be allowed to come together. If this can happen, it is worth sacrificing No. 15."

"Okay, I'll do it now." Seeing Di Chen's insistence, Jue Dai Fenghua could no longer object.

After all, Dichen is still the master.

…………

Night, Sifang Pavilion.

According to the system, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty will officially receive the envoys tomorrow.

Zhang Yi has no interest in Quanzhou, so she will never visit the city like Gao Ying said. Zhang Yi stayed in the pavilion all day, preparing for the audience tomorrow.

Not going out is also for safety reasons.

Before coming to Quanzhou, the king had confessed that he was worried that someone would be an article about the mission.

When Ouyang Shuo signed a trade agreement with [Northern Sichuan City-state] and [Shunan City-state] last time, Lord Chunshen arranged for someone to assassinate Fan Li, but Ouyang Shuo's memory is still fresh.

This mission, in addition to the 50 most elite imperial guards, the Shadow Guard is led by Cui Tianqi, the guardian envoy, who personally guards in secret to ensure the personal safety of the envoys, especially Zhang Yi.

At 6 o'clock in the evening, Gao Ying came to the Sifang Pavilion again to host a banquet in honor of the Daxia envoys on behalf of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty.

During the banquet, there were staggered toasts, accompanied by singing and dancing, which was very lively.

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

"Please!"

Gao Ying sat in the main seat, looked at Zhang Yi from a distance, and said with a smile: "This is the ginseng soup made from Korean ginseng specially given by His Majesty. It is most nourishing and can relieve fatigue."

Zhang Yi said: "Emperor Sui has a heart." He picked up the spoon, took a sip, and said: "It really is delicious."

After hearing this, Gao Ying looked very happy, and the host and guest enjoyed themselves.

Just when Zhang Yi took the third sip, she suddenly felt severe pain in her abdomen, "Woo~~", accompanied by cramps, Zhang Yi's mouth and nose were bleeding at the same time, and the bright red blood dripped into the soup, and quickly melted, turning into A blood flower.

"grown ups!"

Since Zhang Yi was attending a banquet and was in the pavilion, it was inconvenient for Zhang Yi to make public, so she only brought two guards with her. They dutifully stood behind Zhang Yi and kept an eye on their surroundings.

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

The guard's exclamation immediately pierced the lively atmosphere of the banquet. The other members of the mission followed the prestige and saw that the head of the mission was bleeding from the mouth and nose, obviously poisoned.

"My lord!" An official from the Commerce Department exclaimed, and rushed out the door, "Come on, come on!"

The guards accompanying the missions were standing guard outside the door, and when they heard the call, they rushed in immediately. The problem is, the banquet hall is guarded by the Great Sui imperial army, how could they let the imperial guards rush in before they figured out the situation.

Two groups of guards confronted each other outside the door.

"Step aside!"

The captain of the accompanying imperial guards had a serious expression on his face, and without hesitation, he drew out the Tang knife from his waist.

With a "swipe", fifty guards drew their swords together, and under the reflection of the moonlight, the cold light was cold.

It was not easy for the imperial army of the Sui Dynasty, and said in a deep voice: "No one is allowed to enter without an order." Fortunately, the commander of the army knew the importance, so he did not draw his sword, but showed his shield.

In an instant, the Great Sui Imperial Army erected a shield wall in front of the gate.

At the same time, the commander of the army said loudly on purpose: "Go to a group of people and see what happened." He said this just to reassure the Great Xia Imperial Guard on the opposite side.

"promise!"

A group of Imperial Guards from the Sui Dynasty was ordered to enter the banquet hall, and the hall was already in chaos.

Seeing that Zhang Yi was poisoned, Gao Ying couldn't keep calm anymore, the spoon slipped from her hand, and fell into the Gu with a "dang", the thick soup splashed all over Gao Ying's body, but she didn't realize it.

Gao Ying knew very well that if Zhang Yi died of poisoning in Sifang Hall, it would be a disaster for Tai Sui. Thinking of this, Gao Ying forcibly calmed down, and first said to the people around her: "Quickly, quickly send the doctor!"

Rescuing Zhang Yi is the top priority.

"You must not die." Gao Ying prayed in her heart.

At the end, Gao Ying said to the forbidden army who rushed in: "Immediately seal the Sifang Hall, and no one can enter or leave. All the people in the banquet hall will be detained and interrogated one by one."

"No!" The captain of the Imperial Guard nodded in response, and then asked for instructions: "My lord, what about the Great Xia Imperial Guard outside?"

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

Fifty imperial guards can't make waves, if they really want to forcefully stop them, accidents may happen instead.

"promise!"

In just a few minutes, Gao Ying had already managed to control the chaotic situation, as expected of an experienced veteran.

After arranging the important matters, Gao Ying walked towards Zhang Yi. A fifty-year-old person walks like a gust of wind. When other members of the mission saw Gao Ying, they all cast hostile looks.

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

Gao Ying said sincerely: "We have no intention of poisoning the envoy, the imperial physician will be here soon." At this moment, Gao Ying is inconvenient to make too many excuses, he believes that Zhang Yi is a smart person.

The more you say, the easier it is to be misunderstood.

"Your Excellency was poisoned after drinking ginseng soup, how dare you argue?" The members of the envoy were so annoyed that they almost pointed at Gao Ying's nose and cursed.

Gao Ying was expressionless, just looking at Zhang Yi. A few minutes passed, Zhang Yi's face turned black, obviously poisoned. Seeing Gao Ying, she felt even more sweaty in her heart.

Zhang Yi took a deep look at Gao Ying, and he couldn't decide for a while whether the Great Sui Shang Shuling in front of him was acting or telling the truth.

No matter what, Zhang Yi knew that she couldn't confuse herself at this time, so she suppressed her physical discomfort and said to the other members of the envoy and the guards who rushed in, "First, go back to the room first, no, don't move rashly."

"yes!"

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

After a slight tilt, Zhang Yi was transferred to the room and lay on the bed, while Gao Ying was blocked from the door.

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

Knowing that the young man in front of him is the king's true confidant, Zhang Yi suppressed the discomfort and said, "This time the enemy poisoned you, it's impossible to prevent it, it's none of your business."

"My lord, what do we want us to do?" Cui Tianqi asked.

"Do, send the news back to Wangcheng as soon as possible." Zhang Yi was planning for the worst.

"clear!"

Cui Tianqi nodded vigorously, and disappeared into the room without knowing what to do.

"All of you, go down. Let's talk about it when the imperial physician comes." Zhang Yi dismissed the other members of the envoy, his face darkening, "Remember, before the matter is cleared up, you must, must not conflict with Tai Sui."

Zhang Yi is well aware of the mission on this mission, seeing Gao Ying's behavior, Zhang Yi would rather believe that someone else poisoned her. That's why, let's not be impulsive at this time, so as not to spoil the king's great event.

Zhang Yi's life is a small matter, but the king's hegemony is a big matter.

"yes!"

Seeing this, the other members of the mission had no choice but to leave.

In an instant, Zhang Yi was alone in the room, lying on the bed alone. No one noticed that Zhang Yi was holding a small porcelain bottle in her hand.
