Chapter 257: Reaping the Profits

For the Mu Kingdom, April was a turbulent month.

Because of the sudden false intelligence, Jiang Yi's return trip was postponed at the strong request of Emperor Zhaocheng.

Because he and Mu Cang had to formulate a foolproof plan to ensure that all those who had the intention of rebellion were caught in one fell swoop.

During this period, Guo Hongqiang, who had come in disguise, quietly entered the Prime Minister Gu's residence at night, walking through the back door, thinking that she was unnoticed by anyone, but in fact, her every move had already been monitored by others.

In order to get Prime Minister Gu's cooperation faster, Guo Hongqiang's first sentence after meeting was: "Do you want to get rid of Mu Cang and Yan Li?"

When Prime Minister Gu heard this, he fell silent.

Except Mu Cang and Yan Li.

Why didn't he want to?

Thinking of how much his son had suffered because of Mu Cang and Yan Li, An Xian was forced to marry Mu Wenxuan, that waste, and King Yu was still in confinement.

Let alone seeking justice for his son and daughter, just looking at the current situation, as long as Mu Cang is not dead, it will be difficult for King Yu to turn over.

King Jing wants to marry Ling Ning of the Guardian Duke's Mansion. Once they successfully marry, King Jing's bargaining chip for the throne will be stronger than King Yu.

Of course, the most important thing is the emperor's attitude.

Prime Minister Gu took a sip of tea and said in a deep voice, "How can I believe you?"

"I don't need the Prime Minister to believe me." Guo Hongqiang said in a cold tone, "In two days, there will be an urgent intelligence from the border. After Mu Cang gets the news, he will soon pack up and leave the imperial capital and rush to the border. Yan Li of the Ninth Prince's Mansion is training with the soldiers in the northern suburbs military camp. This is an opportunity for Prime Minister Gu."

Prime Minister Gu narrowed his eyes: "Do you want me to take the opportunity to kill Yan Li?"

"Whether to kill her or not is Prime Minister Gu's own business. I don't care, because the person who has a grudge against her is not me." Guo Hongqiang said, "I am only responsible for luring the tiger away from the mountain, and intercepting Jiang Yi and her sons halfway. For the Prime Minister, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

Prime Minister Gu remained silent.

Intercept Jiang Yi?

He looked at the plain-looking woman in front of him. If she hadn't taken the initiative to report her identity, he would never have thought that this person was actually the daughter of the Guo family.

Yan Li really deserved to die.

If he doesn't take this opportunity to take revenge, he will never have another chance when she goes to Jin as a princess of Jin.

But killing Jiang Yi will cause a war between the two countries. Isn't this step of King Xijiang too risky?

No.

Prime Minister Gu quickly rejected this idea.

It's better to take risks.

King Xijiang is a member of Mu Xiuhan's party. If they rebel and anger the emperor, it will only accelerate their death.

By then, the queen and Mu Xiuhan Jiang will no longer have the chips to turn the tables, and King Yu can reap the benefits.

He quickly came back to his senses: "Are you sure you can kill Jiang Yi?"

"This is not something Prime Minister Gu needs to worry about." Guo Hongqiang said coldly, "I hope Prime Minister Gu will be a smart man and put aside the previous grudges before our goal is completed. Let's join hands to deal with Mu Cang and Yan Li first."

After a pause, "Prime Minister should know that with Mu Cang's ability and the power behind Yan Li, if we don't join forces, we have no chance to deal with them at all."

The reason why she dared to find Prime Minister Gu was because the Gu family suffered several big losses at the hands of Mu Cang and Yan Li.

Gu Anxian's lifelong happiness was ruined by Yan Li. Even if the only legitimate daughter of Prime Minister Gu's family did not marry the prince, she should at least marry a well-known new noble official, but in the end it was ruined by Mu Wenxuan. m.

Gu Heyu was once poisoned by Yan Li and suffered a lot.

In addition to the current situation of King Yu.

Prime Minister Gu could not be anxious.

Besides, the chances of the queen and her son turning the tables are slim, and the cooperation between the two families is not a big threat to Prime Minister Gu and King Yu—at least much smaller than the threat from Mu Cang and King Jing.

Prime Minister Gu nodded slowly: "Don't worry, I wish Yan Li would die immediately, and I will never hold you back at this time."

"Thank you for your cooperation, Prime Minister." Guo Hongqiang stood up, "Goodbye."

Prime Minister Gu didn't see her out, and there was no need to do so.

He stood in front of the window, silently watching the figure in a black cloak disappear neatly outside the study, his eyebrows and eyes glowing with a cold luster.

Kill Yan Li?

No, he was not so stupid, he would let Yan Li die where she should die.
