Chapter 302

Gu Jing was inwardly dissatisfied, in his eyes, his imperial father was supposed to be a wise ruler and had great intentions to restore the prosperity the Daqi once had, unlike the former emperor who became fatuous in his later years, and caused Daqi to its collapse, and the people had no way of living.

So, even if his imperial father was leaning like the former emperor, it was inevitable that he only has the intention to spare but his strength was insufficient.

Gu Jing took two deep breaths to calm himself down a little before he continued to say seriously, “Imperial father, of course, this son would not be so stupid as to give Yelu Luan that blueprint, it was fake.”

The emperor slightly raised his eyebrows in surprise, this was something he didn’t expect.

Seeing that the emperor believed him, Gu Jing continued: “Imperial father, perhaps this son isn’t thoughtful enough in some aspects but this son never has the heart to betray Daqi.”

“The blueprint of the compound bow was given to this son by Yingluo voluntarily, saying that she knows that this son is in peace talks with Northern Yan, and this blueprint can make Yelu Luan agree to the terms of the peace talks as soon as possible.”Visitt novelbin(.)co/m for the latest updates

“Of course, this son thought it was also inappropriate, but thinking about what Yelu Luan had said before that if Daqi was willing to give the blueprint of the compound bow, he can give Daqi more than 1000 Turkic horses, so this son made its mind.”

“But this son also knows that the compound bow is of great importance and must not fall into the hands of the Northern Yan, so this son gave a fake blueprint to Yelu Luan.”

The emperor looked at Gu Jing in silence as he slowly turned the jade ring, not expressing his opinion.

Gu Jing took out a blueprint from his arms and presented it with both hands high, Zhou Xin then took the blueprint and handed it to the emperor.

Gu Jing kowtowed repeatedly to the emperor, “Imperial Father although this son wanted to sign a peace agreement with Northern Yan as soon as possible, in hope that the two countries can have a truce, this son will never betray Daqi.”

The emperor took the blueprint of the compound bow without looking at it and handed it directly to Gu Zezhi, giving him a meaningful look.

Since Gu Zezhi has set up this game, so of course, he would not really let Yelu Luan get the real blueprint. The said blueprint in Tai Wangye’s mansion was originally tampered with.

The emperor softly sighed again, his body has been in poor health for many years now, and his spirit was no different.

At the beginning of his accession to the throne, he also made great efforts to govern, but he was powerless. It took him ten years to get rid of the plight of almost losing his country, but domestic and foreign troubles continued.

Regardless of whether Gu Jing was just exonerating himself or not, there was one thing that he was right about, Daqi had no strength to fight anymore.

“It’s a pity...” the emperor couldn’t help but said it again.

Gu Zezhi said softly: “Your Majesty, after Daqi recovers, we will fight again.”

The emperor was stunned and subconsciously looked at Gu Zezhi.

Gu Zezhi stood with his hands behind his back, and his usual beautiful and gentle eyebrows and eyes showed sharpness, like a sharp sword being drawn from its sheath, gleaming with a deep chill.

A smile slowly escaped from the corners of the emperor’s mouth, and his expression gained confidence.

The emperor clapped loudly as he said with a smile, “Then I will wait for you to open up the territory for Daqi.”

Gu Zhen who was watching the adults also followed his imperial father clapping and nodding heavily.

“Your Majesty,” Gu Zezhi smiled and cupped his hand, “Da Qi still has Yu Fuyun.”

“Well said!” The emperor laughed heartily.

Yes, Daqi has Yu Fuyun and Gu Zezhi...
