What to do if you have too many golden fingers? Walk sideways!

When they arrived in Minzhou, Gu Xi came to the house she had bought for Zhou Qing's family and knocked on the door.

It was afternoon, and Zhou Qing was taking a nap leisurely in a rocking chair with a book covering his face.

Zhou An opened the door and saw Gu Xi. He was startled at first, then called out:

"Miss Gu, why are you here?"

"I have something to ask Mr. Zhou." Gu Xi said.

They were able to hide in Minzhou with the help of Miss Gu, who also left a lot of valuables for them, so Zhou An was not surprised that Miss Gu could find this place.

"Please come in, Miss Gu." Zhou An let Gu Xi in.

Zhou Qing woke up from his daze when he heard the voice, took the book off his face, and asked:

"Zhou An, who's here?"

They have lived in Minzhou for several months. Their life is peaceful, and they don't interact with others much for fear of getting into trouble.

Zhou Qing felt that he had never lived such a peaceful day in his life.

Read some books, write some things, and go out for a stroll occasionally.

Two days ago, he went to the fields to watch farmers harvesting hybrid rice.

The yield per mu actually reached 2,000 kilograms, which is really unbelievable.

The water-pumping and irrigation tools were unprecedented and did not require any manpower.

He had great respect for the young imperial teacher.

With him around, the country of An Ning will surely become prosperous slowly, but I don't know if their suspicious emperor will be afraid and have bad intentions.

"Master, it's Miss Gu who is here." Zhou An replied.

Hearing that Gu Xi had arrived, Mrs. Zhou also came out of the room.

"Kid, where are you from?" Zhou Qing stood up and asked.

Gu Xi bowed and went straight to the point:

"Mr. Zhou, I came from the capital to invite you to come out of retirement today."

Zhou Qing was stunned.

"Coming out of seclusion? Am I not a criminal? Could it be that the imperial court has also rehabilitated me?"

But that didn't make sense. Why would a girl like Gu Xi invite him? She should be someone from the imperial court.

Gu Xi said:

"Mr. Zhou has never done anything bad, so how can he be guilty? Now that Emperor Jichang has stepped down, Mr. Zhou can naturally return to the capital with dignity."

Zhou Qing was shocked:

"The emperor passed away? I haven't heard the news. Which prince ascended the throne?"

It's only been a few months, has the outside world changed so much?

It feels like a day in the mountains is a thousand years in the world.

Gu Xi said:

"Mr. Zhou, Emperor Jichang is not dead, he just stepped down, and those princes did not ascend the throne either, they have been demoted to commoners."

"What?!" Zhou Qing, Mrs. Zhou and Zhou Anquan were all extremely shocked.

"Is this a change of dynasty?" Zhou Qing's eyes were shocked.

Gu Xi nodded.

"Who is the new king?"

Since they were here to invite him out of retirement, the new emperor must have known him, but they sent a little girl, Gu Xi, to invite him. Zhou Qing was a little confused.

Gu Xi said:

"Mr. Zhou, you also know the new monarch, the former national teacher Qi Dasheng."

Zhou Qing's eyes lit up.

If someone else proclaims himself emperor, he would have to think twice whether or not to come out of retirement.

But the new emperor is the national teacher. He knows that the national teacher cares about the people of the world and must be a good emperor worthy of his assistance.

Mrs. Zhou and Zhou An also had flashes of excitement in their eyes.

They had discussed privately before that this country only had hope if it had a national teacher.

Unexpectedly, the national teacher proclaimed himself emperor. Although Zhou Qing was an old minister of the previous dynasty, he cared about the people in his heart and was not a person who was blindly loyal to the emperor.

"Great, I agree to return to Beijing!" Zhou Qing said, and then said to Madam Zhou:

"You guys go pack your bags now."

He has been enjoying a leisurely time during his time in Minzhou, but he is also a person who cannot sit still. Although he is not young anymore, he still has ambitions in his heart.

Gu Xi thought it would take some time for Zhou Qing to accept it, but she didn't expect that she accepted it so quickly. She felt warm in her heart. It seemed that everything she had done for this country was not in vain, and she was recognized by everyone.

"Oh, by the way, kid, why are you here to pick me up?" After Zhou Qing calmed down from his excitement, he remembered this important question.

Gu Xi chuckled:

"Old man, please lie down first."

"What are you lying down for?"

"Lie down and I'll tell you why."

Gu Xi was worried about scaring him, and it would be bad if he got hurt.

Zhou Qing had no choice but to lie back in the rocking chair.

"You say it."

He was extremely curious.

"It's very simple, I am the national master, and the national master is me." Gu Xi said.

"What did you say?" Zhou Qing was confused for a moment.

Gu Xi pointed at his nose and said:

"I, Gu Xi, am Qi Dasheng. I disguised myself as a man in order to join the military camp."

Zhou Qing was petrified.

It was a good thing that he was lying on a chair, otherwise he would have been so scared that he would have fallen to the ground.

"You, you, you - you are the imperial teacher?!" Zhou Qing's face was full of disbelief.

Gu Xi was worried that he was too excited and might hurt himself, so he immediately squatted down, held his wrist, and injected some internal energy into him to help him calm down.

"Yes, old man, I am the national teacher. You see, I can take things out of thin air."

After Gu Xi finished speaking, he casually took out a bottle of Moutai from the space.

Looking at the familiar Moutai liquor, Zhou Qing's expression changed.

He looked at Gu Xi carefully, and indeed found that her features were somewhat similar to those of the Imperial Master.

Back then in Chengyang County, she had disguised herself as Xi Xiaoge, and her disguise skills were superb.

Seeing that Zhou Qing was speechless for a long time, Gu Xi smiled and said:

"What's wrong, Mr. Zhou? Are you disgusted by my being a girl and unwilling to assist me?"

Zhou Qing got down from the rocking chair and was about to kneel down when he was stopped by Gu Xi.

"Mr. Zhou, you can't do that! You are my elder, you don't need to bow to me! What's more, you saved my father, I should kowtow to you to express my gratitude."

After Gu Xi finished speaking, he also wanted to kowtow, but was immediately stopped by Zhou Qing.

"Your Majesty, you can't do that! Your Majesty knows everything?"

Calling him Your Majesty meant that he recognized Empress Gu Xi's identity.

The old man has a strong ability to accept things.

"My father has regained his status and is now at the Gu Mansion, waiting for Mr. Zhou to return to Beijing." Gu Xi said vaguely.

She didn't say that it was actually she who cured her father's illness, so that the old man would think that his medicine was effective.

Zhou Qing said with a sigh:

"No wonder, no wonder. You tried so hard to vindicate the Gu family. I never thought that Yun Qing would give birth to a daughter as capable as you. God bless the Gu family and the people."

Gu Xi said embarrassedly:

"It was by chance that I had this opportunity, thanks to the help of the gods."

To humans, isn’t the supernatural system God?

Then Gu Xi took two steps back, bowed solemnly, and said sincerely:

"The court is in a time of trouble, Xier begs Master Zhou to come out and help."

Zhou Qing stared at Gu Xi, complex emotions flashing in his eyes.

Although he is old, he still has enough energy and is able to contribute to the country.

After a moment of hesitation, he slowly spoke:

"My child, since you are so sincere in asking me to help you, I, with my old bones, will go through this world again."

Gu Xi was overjoyed when he heard this.
