Quick Wear: Saving the Heroine Isn’t Too Easy!

Fortunately, they arrived in time and the Princess of Chu was not harmed. The Fifth Prince's conspiracy almost succeeded. It was a good way to kill two birds with one stone.

Not only did he avenge the Princess of Chu, but he was also able to impeach Gu Xici in the court.

Gu Xici was a guard in charge of maintaining law and order in the capital, but he allowed the Princess of Chu to be humiliated in the security zone. No matter who was behind this, Gu Xici could not escape the responsibility.

Princess Chu straightened her messy clothes and stood up: "Thank you for saving me."

Chu Yu did not ask why Gu Xici happened to appear here to save her. She knew that the mastermind behind hurting her today was Xiao Ren. No smart person would ask how Gu Xici got the information.

Gu Xici said in a cold voice: "Save you, don't be so self-indulgent. I am just a sheriff in the capital, punishing these criminals. If I let them commit crimes, wouldn't it be my dereliction of duty?"

Gu Xici didn't like Chu Yu very much. After all, Chu Yu was the ultimate beneficiary who caused Wen Ning to almost have his heart dug out. Whether she knew it or not, she had hurt Wen Ning.

Chu Yu bowed to Gu Xici and said, "No matter what, I should thank you. This is the second time you saved my life."

Gu Xici didn't say anything. When had she ever saved the Princess of Chu? Could it be that Chu Yu wanted to get close to her? She refused. Chu Yu was not a good person.

Chu Yu looked around: "These people..."

Gu Xici looked at the beggar on the ground with disgust: "Don't worry about it, they deserve it. It's getting late, I think you can walk back to the post station by yourself."

Chu Yu paused for a moment and looked at Gu Xici who was standing next to her with a look of "I don't know you". Doesn't Gu Xici have any sympathy for women? No one would let a weak woman walk at night, and she was just scared.

No wonder the Chu soldiers were afraid of Gu Xici and called her the White-faced King of Hell, who had no humanity at all.

Chu Yu had no choice but to leave alone.

"and many more."

"?"

Chu Yu stopped and wondered if this man had a change of heart.

"The Chu State was defeated, and you were sent to the Zhou State to seek peace. Although you cannot return to the Chu State, you can choose a weak prince with no backing as a shield. As long as you do not participate in the rebellion, the Zhou State will accommodate you in whatever you do."

Gu Xici suddenly said something that the Princess of Chu couldn't guess, so what did Gu Xici mean, was he really trying to help or was there some other deeper meaning?

Chu Yu didn't reply and walked further away.

Gu Xici looked at Chu Yu's leaving back, feeling a little weak and lonely.

"Weak? Lonely?" Gu Xici chuckled. Don't be deceived by her appearance.

But don’t forget, this Princess of Chu is a villain who can beat up the male protagonist Xiao Ren. In the end, the male and female protagonists cooperated to defeat the Princess of Chu.

Gu Mansion.

"You're back. What have you been doing?" Wen Ning came to Gu Xici's side and said, "Just relax when you go to court tomorrow. I'll take care of everything." After saying that, he patted his chest and left with a happy step.

She had already imagined that when she came back from court tomorrow, Gu Xici would look at her with admiration, and then ask her in a crazy and cute way how she did it, and promise that in the future, if Wen Ning said east, Gu Xici would never go west.

"Huh?" Gu Xici looked at the excited Wen Ning in confusion. Never mind. This was his own child. It didn't matter if he was a little silly, but at least he wasn't in love.

At the morning court the next day, the emperor looked at Gu Xici with a heavy heart, not caring that he was already old. Gu Xici was in his prime and also at his most ambitious age.

"Are all the 100,000 men in black armor surnamed Gu?" After the emperor said this, he carefully observed the changes in Gu Xici's facial expression, wondering if it was fear or anger.

Unfortunately, Gu Xici's expression remained unchanged, still showing a loyal look. Gu Xici slowly asked, "Does the emperor think this is a rumor or does he believe it?"

"I also believe that General Gu is loyal and patriotic, but this matter is not groundless. Everyone in the streets and alleys knows about it." The emperor said hypocritically.

"Your Majesty is wise. It is true that all the 100,000 black-armored soldiers are surnamed Gu." Gu Xici's words surprised the emperor and the ministers.

The Sixth Prince stared at Gu Xici with shocked eyes: No, buddy, you are not going to explain and just give up struggling?

The other ministers had the same idea as the Sixth Prince.

Gu Buchan was so frightened by Gu Xici's bold remarks that he couldn't speak. What could he say? Gu Xici had already blocked his words.

Father Wen's eyes widened as well. He and his daughter had already thought of a plan. Was Gu Xici blocking all his retreat routes and preparing to confront the emperor head-on?

"Oh!" The emperor sat on the dragon throne and looked at Gu Xici with murderous intent.

Gu Xici ignored the shocked faces of the ministers and the murderous intent of the emperor, and continued to speak calmly and easily:

"Back then, the Black Armor Army numbered less than a few hundred people, and they had no weapons or armor. They only wore dirt-resistant black clothes and carried sticks to follow the Holy Emperor Zhou in the uprising."

The Holy Emperor of Zhou was the founding emperor of the Zhou Dynasty, and only the founding emperor of the Zhou Dynasty could be called the Holy Emperor.

"The Black Armor Army was not called the Black Armor Army at that time. They were just a ragtag group of soldiers formed by the ancestors of the Gu family and their relatives with the surname Gu. They didn't even have a resounding name, so they also called themselves the Gu Family Army."

"Although the Gu Family Army calls themselves the Gu Family Army, they have always followed the Holy Emperor Zhou and have no other ideas. Even when the Holy Emperor Zhou was in a desperate situation, no one in the Gu Family Army fled, and they all swore to protect the Holy Emperor Zhou to the death."

"After peace came to the country, only a few people were left in the original Gu Family Army. Emperor Zhou admired the bravery and loyalty of the Gu Family Army and deliberately kept the Gu Family Army and personally wrote an inscription for the military flag, hoping that the Gu Family Army could regain its prestige."

"The Gu family army lived up to Saint Emperor Zhou's high expectations and once again became Saint Emperor Zhou's right-hand man."

"The ancestors of the Gu family did not want to forget the hard times they had, and hoped to change the name to the Black Armor Army to remember those comrades who wore cloth clothes without armor."

"I also hope that the Black Armor Army can inherit the will of the Gu Family Army and their loyalty to the Zhou Kingdom. Until now, the Black Armor Army has been fulfilling its duties and defending the Zhou Kingdom to the death."

"This military flag was written by the Holy Emperor Zhou himself."

Gu Xici said a lot of things, and with a dry mouth, he took out a black flag from his arms and unfolded it. A word "Gu" appeared upright on the black flag.

"The Gu family has always kept this flag. There is a story behind the 100,000 black-armored soldiers all having the surname Gu."

After Gu Xici finished speaking, he stepped forward and handed the Gu character flag to the emperor. The eunuch was about to take it over, but was interrupted by the emperor:

"No, I will come in person."

The emperor walked down the steps and personally took the black flag from Gu Xici. The word "Gu" appeared in his eyes. It was really written by Emperor Zhou Sheng. He could see the majesty and domineering in the words, which also revealed his trust in the Black Armored Army.

"I never thought that the Gu family could keep this black flag until now. I can feel the loyalty of the Gu family and the Black Armor Army. If I let down the Black Armor Army, I don't deserve to stand here." After the emperor said this, he solemnly returned the flag to Gu Xici.

What a conspiracy! If the Gu family is punished today, the world will be unable to stop gossiping about it, and he will even be accused of being a tyrant.

The Sixth Prince once again showed great respect to Gu Xici: So this is how it was solved?

Like the Sixth Prince, other ministers were full of respect for Gu Xici, as well as for the Black Armored Army who had been silently defending the Zhou Kingdom.

He didn't even have time to breathe a sigh of relief. He almost forgot when Gu Xici got this flag.
