Chapter 162: More than 1 Blind People

Gu Xi said:

"Don't worry, Master Shi, our master has really summoned the heavenly soldiers and generals. If you don't believe me, just listen outside."

There were bangs and rumbles outside.

Shi Huairen's face changed drastically, thinking something was wrong, and he hurriedly shouted to the Yulin Army:

"Charge! Capture the old emperor!"

As long as Emperor Jichang can be captured as a hostage, no matter how powerful the reinforcements are, they will not dare to act recklessly.

Gu Xi took out a tear gas bomb and threw it forward.

Thick smoke spread quickly immediately.

"Your Majesty, I will be the last one to leave. Please retreat to the inner hall!"

She quickly put on a gas mask.

There were too many Yulin soldiers, and Gu Xi could not kill them all by herself. But she threw tear gas bombs left and right, and soon the entire palace, including the area within a few hundred meters outside the palace, was filled with tear gas smoke.

"Ah! My face hurts!"

"Ahem, ahem, I can't see!"

"There's poisonous gas, hold your breath!"

However, holding your breath is useless.

The pungent smell of tear gas made the Yulin Army not only cough, but also unable to open their eyes, tears streaming down their faces as if they were crying for their dead parents.

After a while of running around, they bumped into each other again.

A group of blind Yulin soldiers started trampling on each other. Gu Xi didn't even have his gun loaded yet, and the Yulin soldiers trampled hundreds of them to death.

When Chu Zhao and his men arrived, they saw more than ten thousand blind people crying.

Gu Xi took great effort to pull Shi Huairen, Concubine Shi and the Ninth Prince out of the crowd.

At this moment, Shi Huairen had one of his leg bones broken by the Yulin Army, and someone had torn out a piece of Concubine Shi's hair, leaving a bloody mess on her head.

The Ninth Prince was okay, just a little dusty.

The eyes of the three men were as red as rabbits, and tears mixed with blood flowed down their cheeks, looking both hideous and funny.

Gu Xi tied up the three of them, threw them into the inner hall, and said:

"Your Majesty, the culprit has been brought to justice. I leave it to you to decide his fate!"

In the inner hall, Emperor Jichang and Eunuch Lin were also crying because of the pungent smell of tear gas, but the concentration in the inner hall was not high, and they could still see while wiping their tears.

When Emperor Jichang saw the three people on the ground, he rushed over roaring, kicking and stomping them, and his imperial majesty was completely gone.

So many things happened that night, and between the extreme sorrow and joy, his emotions got out of control.

By the time he had finished venting his anger, the three people on the ground were already dying.

Soon, the situation turned around and Chu Zhao took control of the situation.

This palace coup came and went quickly. The ministers whose mansions were besieged had just begun to panic when the crisis was resolved.

Emperor Jichang convened a court meeting overnight and issued an edict to exterminate all nine clans of the Shi family.

Concubine Shi and the Ninth Prince were also sentenced to death.

As for the Yulin Army, Emperor Jichang originally intended to kill them all. Gu Xi stepped forward and said:

"Your Majesty, if we kill all the Yulin soldiers, there will be no one left to protect the capital in a short period of time. It is better to kill only the leader of the bandits. As for those soldiers who obey orders, it is better for me to take over and mix them with my 800 cavalry battalion to continue to protect the capital."

Emperor Jichang's eyes were uncertain. The imperial preceptor took the initiative to ask for military power, and the power to guard the capital. This was a second thorn in his heart.

But it was not easy for him to refuse at this moment. Firstly, the capital city must be guarded by soldiers, and secondly, he did not have anyone he trusted available.

After discussing the punishment, they began to discuss the reward.

All 800 men in the cavalry battalion were promoted one level, and Chu Zhao was promoted two levels, and was granted the title of Second-Rank Anhu General.

Chu Zhao's official position surpassed that of his father Chu Shiting. He became a little too proud of himself and wanted to go to the northwest to show off.

As for Gu Xi, his title was raised to a higher level, and before the plaque of the Marquis of Zhenxi Mansion was even completed, he asked the craftsmen to change it to the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion.

Gu Xi was so powerful that all the civil and military officials in the court were envious and jealous!

Gu Xi brought up the matter of redressing the Gu family. Emperor Jichang, who was already very unhappy, said with a gloomy face:

"The Imperial Master should focus on the most important things. The Gu family case will be discussed later. I am tired and I will leave the court!"

Gu Xi is here!!!

Good, good, good! You dog emperor, go back on your word!

I am so angry!

She should have asked him to write the imperial edict on the spot before saving him!

Just as Gu Xi was about to step forward to argue, she was pulled back by the old Marquis Chu next to her, who motioned her to go back and talk later.

Although Gu Xi was unwilling in his heart, he also understood that it was not wise to argue with Emperor Jichang in the court at this time.

She glared fiercely at Emperor Jichang's departing back, gritted her teeth, and left the court with Lord Chu and Chu Zhao.

Along the way, she was indignant, her mind full of resentment and dissatisfaction towards Emperor Jichang.

Ever since she traveled through time, it has always been her, Gu Xi, who cheated others. She never expected that she would be cheated by the old emperor!

After leaving the palace, Lord Chu didn't even say hello to Gu Xi. He just grabbed Chu Zhao's ear and got into the carriage.

"Hey, hey, Grandfather, what are you doing?"

After the carriage started and drove a little further, Old Marquis Chu lifted the curtain and looked out. Seeing no one was around, he lowered his voice and said to Chu Zhao:

"Grandfather doesn't object to you being on good terms with the Imperial Master, but from now on, if you want to see the Imperial Master, you must avoid all eyes and ears. If you can't do this, Grandfather will have no choice but to lock you up in the mansion."

Afterwards, the old Marquis Chu gave detailed instructions for a while, and until the carriage returned to the Chu Mansion, Chu Zhao changed into night clothes, performed light skills, and went to Gu Xi's Mansion.

Gu Xi, on this side, started cursing as soon as he returned to the mansion:

"Dog emperor! Villain! I'm drawing a circle to curse you!"

"A tyrant! Shi Jinlian was right to scold you, you old pervert!"

……

Chu Zhao didn't go through the main door, but quietly climbed over the wall, found Gu Xi, and said:

"Ah Xi, my grandfather just told me to tell you something."

"What instructions did the old marquis have?" It was embarrassing to say that she had been busy for so many days since she came to Beijing and had not found the time to pay a visit to the old marquis Chu.

"Axi, my grandfather said that you are now in a prosperous position, much more prominent than the Gu family was half a year ago, but the more so, the more cautious you must be. Even the Chu family cannot be on good terms with you openly, otherwise the old emperor will be so fearful that he will lose sleep." Chu Zhao said.

Gu Xi frowned. The court was full of tricks. She wanted to go back to the countryside!

Chu Zhao said again:

"Grandfather doesn't agree with you asking for the military power of the Imperial Guards. He thinks you are taking too big a step and is afraid that you will fall. He told me to tell you to keep a low profile. As for the Gu family affairs, he will find other ways to remind the emperor after some time. Please don't mention this matter again."

Gu Xi’s frown deepened.

She knew that Lord Chu was doing this for her own good.

He has been in the court for many years and must be well aware of Emperor Jichang's character. Ministers who are feared by the emperor usually do not have a good ending.

"Thank you for your concern, old marquis. However, I didn't travel through time to endure humiliation and be a humble man. I don't care about whether he is an emperor or not. If he provokes me, I will do it to him!" Gu Xi said angrily.
