The third prince stood on a famous restaurant in Kyoto and looked into the distance.

Behind him was Guo Yunchang who was talking incessantly. Originally, Gutali was to receive Guo Yunchang, but now Gutali had something to do, so the third prince could only pretend to be the deputy in the delegation.

"These three border towns are indeed not very suitable... or we can set up a temporary market about ten miles outside the border town?"

Guo Yunchang's voice came. He had been talking non-stop since he met the third prince this morning.

In fact, Guo Yunchang didn't want to say so much, mainly because he had realized that this delegation was actually unmoved and didn't want to talk.

But Zhao Ji is now mainly responsible for this matter, and the task he assigned to Guo Yunchang is to let him negotiate with the delegation endlessly.

The third prince had actually long wanted to find an excuse to get rid of this annoying Han official, but this Han official was extremely clever. Every time the third prince opened his mouth, the Han official would take over the conversation and turn the topic back to border trade.

At the third stick of incense, the Third Prince couldn't help but drive them away: "Why don't you call Zhao Ji over and we can discuss it together!"

When Guo Yunchang heard this, he groaned in his heart. Zhao Ji sent him here because he didn't want to meet these envoys.

So when he heard the Third Prince's request, Guo Yunchang could only laugh and cry: "Our Chief Seal asked me to discuss this with you. He has a lot of things to do every day. I can't make an appointment with him in the short term!"

The ball was kicked back.

The third prince actually didn’t really want to see Zhao Ji, he just wanted to send Guo Yunchang away.

"Why don't we wait until Master Seal has time to talk again!"

The veins on the Third Prince's forehead were popping out with anger, but Guo Yunchang still didn't stop talking.

Finally, the Third Prince could no longer bear it, grabbed Guo Yunchang by the collar and threw him out of the restaurant.

Guan Yu straightened his neck, stood up from the ground, sighed deeply, and opened his fan to fan himself.

"Master, it's not that I don't want to help you, but they are really suppressing you by force!"

When Guo Yunchang came to report to Zhao Ji, he was almost crying.

Zhao Ji looked at Guo Yunchang with some disdain: "You are still a minister of the Ministry of Rites. Look at your clothes now. Not only are there spots of mud on them, but they are also not in order. How can you look like the noble young man in Kyoto that you worked so hard to create?"

Guo Yunchang sat down on the chair casually, with his hands even resting on his knees and his feet on the chair.

It can be said that he is very unkempt.

"Who wants the title of a noble young master in the capital? They keep putting big hats on my head every day. If there were no external constraints, maybe I wouldn't have to go to those foreign envoys today to suffer!"

Zhao Ji smiled and said, "I just threw you out, why are you so angry?"

Guo Yun sighed: "I just feel that at this rate, their return date is far away. It seems that they don't really want to return to the grassland. Are they tempted by the prosperity of the Central Plains?"

Zhao Ji blew away the tea powder floating on the cup, waited for the tea to enter his mouth, and then slowly took a sip of the fragrant tea.

"That's hard to say. You know, they have been acting dishonestly these days!"

Speaking of it, the reason why Guo Yunchang and Zhao Ji were so familiar with each other was because they had similar views on foreign envoys.

Zhao Ji felt that these foreign envoys were dishonest, and Guo Yunchang happened to think so too.

At the beginning, Guo Yunchang gave his feedback to the Minister of Rites.

As a result, when the Minister of Rites found out, he just casually waved his hand and didn't take it seriously.

Just let Guo Yunchang do his own thing and don't worry about those messy things.

So later on, Guo Yunchang no longer talked about these things with the Minister of Rites.

Later, Zhao Ji became the main person in charge of this matter, and always sent some guards to check the places where these foreign envoys had visited.

Guo Yunchang also sent his guards to investigate.

When these two groups met, Zhao Ji and Guo Yunchang knew each other's attitudes clearly.

Unexpectedly, the two of them had the same attitude on this matter, which gradually led them to come together to discuss these foreign envoys.

But Zhao Ji knew much more than Guo Yunchang.

However, Guo Yunchang could also sense that Zhao Ji knew more, but he did not care and did not try to find out where Zhao Ji got the information from.

This made Zhao Ji think that Guo Yunchang was a smart man.

So sometimes, Zhao Ji would send Guo Yunchang to deal with foreign envoys, just like today.

To put it bluntly, it means letting Guo Yunchang hinder the envoys from foreign countries.

"The man didn't seem very patient today, and Gutali has been gone since yesterday afternoon, which seems unusual!"

I have to say that Guo Yunchang is sometimes very perceptive.

Zhao Ji said slowly: "Some things you know first, don't tell anyone else!"

Guo Yunchang crossed his legs and put them on the chair: "Don't worry about me, what should we do next?"

"Wait!" Zhao Ji said slowly.

Hearing this, Guo Yunchang's eyes widened in disbelief. He asked Zhao Ji in shock, "What are you waiting for now?"

"You also know that these foreign envoys are not right. Do you have any measures?"

This was the first time that Guo Yunchang took the initiative to ask about Zhao Ji's arrangements since they joined forces.

The main reason was that he felt that if he waited at this time, there was no guarantee that those envoys would cause trouble.

It will be difficult to undo what has been done.

Moreover, so many people in Kyoto cannot withstand the turmoil.

Zhao Ji smiled slightly: "Don't worry for now, everything is still under control."

Although he had not been dealing with Zhao Ji for long, Guo Yunchang subconsciously felt relieved when he heard Zhao Ji say this.

Having been with Zhao Ji for such a long time, Guo Yunchang has always known that Zhao Ji would not do anything without preparation.

Gradually, Guo Yunchang sometimes admired this person who was younger than himself.

So as long as Zhao Ji explained it to him, Guo Yunchang would be willing to believe it.

"Well, since you have an arrangement, if there is anything you need me to do, just tell me. Don't be polite to me."

"I hope I can finish this job soon so I can get back on track. Otherwise, I'll be running around behind these envoys all day and eating dust on the streets of Kyoto!"

Zhao Ji patted Guo Yunchang on the back and said, "When I really need you, I won't be polite to you at all!"

"There is something you need to do now..."

Zhao Ji asked Guo Yunchang to come closer and whispered some things to him.
