The first poisonous scholar in Daxia, starting from the abdication of the prime minister

Chapter 13 Ningzhou is Ningzhou again... What happened in Ningzhou back then?

"This one……"

Old Huang frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "Lord Gu did lead the troops in Ningzhou, but at the time he was only the deputy general of the Ningzhou army..."

"It is said that the Ningzhou general at that time died in rebellion, otherwise the title of Marquis would not have fallen to Lord Gu!"

When Gu Jingzhi heard this, he started to have doubts again!

General of Ningzhou.

Unlocked new characters.

It's just that the original owner's memories were too limited, either daily life at home or books on sages. He rarely came into contact with books introducing this world.

I only know a few words about Daxia, Yunguo and Beili.

He was even able to know the situation twenty years ago, but that was because his father, Gu Heng, was a former general of the Yun Kingdom.

And Gu Heng's title, to put it bluntly, was simply picked up. How could he have the nerve to leave such a thing in his house for others to see?

But for some reason, he was not welcomed, and his biological mother's coffin was sent back to her parents' home for burial, and twenty years ago...

Gu Jingzhi always felt that there was some connection between all of this, but he knew too little and was unable to unravel the connection and get the answer he wanted!

Old Huang didn't notice Gu Jingzhi's unusual expression, but continued, "In the sixth year of the founding of our Great Xia, we did have a war with the Beili Dynasty, but it ended in failure. Alas..."

"If the ten states that Yun Nation surrendered to Beili cannot be brought under Daxia, then peace in the north will be difficult!"

"..."

Gu Jingzhi held the wine bowl in his hand, looked at Lao Huang curiously, and asked, "Lao Huang, although these things are not very secretive, where did you hear them from?"

"hey-hey!"

Old Huang scratched his head and said, "My dear young master, you were still young at that time, and it was not your turn for a clumsy servant like me to look after you. So when I had some free time, I would go out of the house and listen to the storytelling of the local masters!"

That's it!

Gu Jingzhi nodded silently.

Seeing him silent, Old Huang thought he was not interested in these things, so he smiled and said, "I just drank a little and started talking nonsense, please don't blame me, sir!"

Gu Jingzhi shook his head: "It's okay, knowing some of these things will be beneficial for your future career as an official!"

"Uh-huh!"

Old Huang nodded and smiled, "This is just hearsay from me, but since you are now in the Imperial Academy, if you are interested in these things, there are plenty of opportunities to read them!"

"Well! This is inevitable!"

Gu Jingzhi looked at Old Huang, whose cheeks were slightly flushed, and just responded with a faint smile.

Old Huang seemed to be in high spirits today. He took another sip of his wine and said, "Sir! I came to the Gu family as a dowry with your wife. I am considered your trusted servant. I am sorry to say this..."

"Even though I'm just a servant, I'm happy for Madam that you've achieved what you have today!"

"Sir, when do you think we'll set out to pay our respects at Madam's tomb?"

"Madam has been gone for eighteen years, but the Gu family has never given you the opportunity to fulfill your filial duties. Now that the Gu family can no longer restrain you, it's time for you to travel north."

Talking and talking.

As if recalling the bitterness of the years, Old Huang burst into tears.

However, this also shows Lao Huang's loyalty, and his biological mother, whom he has never met, must be a tolerant and kind person, right?

Gu Jingzhi didn't say anything, but just picked up the wine and drank it silently.

An unknown amount of time passed before Old Huang raised his head, rubbed his nose and eyes, and then forced a smile, saying, "Sir, I've lost my composure! Please forgive me for making you laugh..."

"Old Huang!"

Gu Jingzhi said solemnly, "You have lived in this mansion your entire life. If it weren't for your care, I'm afraid I wouldn't be alive today. This bowl of wine is for you!"

"Son!"

Old Huang was so frightened that he quickly stood up and said, "Master, this is unacceptable! It's already an overstepping of my authority to sit at the same table with you. How can you toast me? This is unacceptable, this is unacceptable..."

"It doesn't matter!"

Gu Jingzhi pulled him to sit down and said with a smile: "Now that I am no longer a nobleman, let's take care of each other! Come, have a drink!"

As he said that, Gu Jing drank it all and then looked at Lao Huang with a smile.

Old Huang held the wine, his lips trembling. Gu Jingzhi smiled and turned the wine bowl in his hand. Old Huang then drank it silently in one gulp.

"Come on! Don't just drink, eat some food!"

The master and servant ate for a while longer. Gu Jingzhi saw that the time was almost right, so he said, "Old Huang! What about Ningzhou... I will definitely go there in the future! But now is not the right time!"

"???"

Upon hearing this, Old Huang raised his head and said in confusion, "Sir, the court has granted me a month's leave to visit my family. It's still plenty of time for me to stay in Ningzhou for a while. You..."

"Ugh……"

Gu Jingzhi sighed softly, "Although I have passed the imperial examination, I have offended Song Yu and even the Gu family. I have no foundation in the court, and the journey to Ningzhou is long..."

"Young Master is afraid that there might be..."

Old Huang covered his mouth, seemingly in disbelief: "Sir, you are at least the heir of the Marquis!"

"hehe!"

Gu Jingzhi sneered, "Gu Heng might not, but what about Song Yu? What about the Song family?"

It’s not that Gu Jingzhi is overly cautious, he just doesn’t believe it. Emperor Xia left him alone today, and Song Pu will definitely know it.

He had no idea that Emperor Xia had sealed Gu Jingzhi's articles. If he ran out at this time, if Song Yu or Gu Xiu used any means, he would be powerless to resist.

The essay he wrote in the palace examination had greatly offended Song Pu. In addition, he and Song Yu had a long-standing grudge against each other, so it was not safe for him to run away carelessly at this time.

Before he can go to Ningzhou, he must at least wait until he has a certain foundation or has enough strength to protect himself.

After hearing this, Old Huang nodded in agreement.

But there was a hint of regret in his eyes. After all, he felt that this would be more meaningful to pay tribute to Gu Jingzhi's biological mother!

……

For the next period of time, Gu Jingzhi either studied at home or practiced the physical skills he brought from his previous life.

This method of physical training is now his most relied upon foundation. There are nine pictures in total. He practices continuously with the help of medicinal decoctions. In just half a month, he can display all nine pictures in full.

In just half a month, his physical condition had undergone a qualitative leap.

At least, he who couldn't carry anything on his shoulders or with his hands before can now easily lift a stone lock weighing hundreds of pounds with one hand.

This change surprised him particularly.

No wonder that guy who called himself "Shiquan" could live a carefree life in the harem all day long and still live to be almost ninety years old. This is not an easy thing!

After his physique underwent a fundamental change, Gu Jingzhi also picked up the Chinese martial arts he had practiced in his previous life.

Every day he either reads, practices martial arts, or drinks with Chen Baonian. His life is quite leisurely.

Before I knew it, a month had passed!
