The poorest member of the Imperial Guard, the Empress begged me to embezzle.

"The scouts from the Beijing Garrison have already come to the capital to report the victory; how could it be false?"

"The demon army that has trained in battle formations is indeed formidable."

"But don't you guys even consider who made the move this time?"

"This time, General Xie Xuan personally led 100,000 troops from the Beijing Garrison to Yizhou to suppress the rebellion."

The captain of the Beijing garrison took a deep breath to calm his excited emotions and said in a firm and powerful voice, "Moreover, this time it's not just General Xie Xuan who is personally going to Yizhou."

Lord Chu went too!

"When has Lord Chu ever failed in his mission?"

"That's true, Lord Chu has never failed in his endeavors!"

"Yes, Lord Chu is truly a pillar of our Great Zhou Dynasty, a gift from heaven!"

Since Lord Chu took charge of the Northern Garrison and has now become the Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, he has done countless good deeds for the people of the land.

"It's not just for the people of the world; which of us hasn't benefited immensely?"

"That's true. Not to mention the free clinics held every month, which allow us and even our families to see doctors for free."

"The public toilets that Lord Chu ordered the Embroidered Uniform Guard to build have already benefited us as well."

"..."

Upon hearing this, the city guards looked on with admiration.

If we're talking about who has the highest prestige in the world today, it's none other than those high-ranking officials in the imperial court.

It was Chu Xiu, who was in charge of the Embroidered Uniform Guard!

"Great victory!"

"Commander Chu Xiu of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, execute Murong Zhi..."

The scouts of the Beijing garrison rode their dragon-blooded horses at breakneck speed toward the palace, shouting loudly as they went.

This sound woke up most of the capital from their sleep, and countless people in the capital cheered with joy upon hearing the news.

Thanks to what Chu Xiu did during this period, the people of the capital were filled with gratitude and unwavering support for Empress Murong Si.

When they learned that Zheng Min, the governor of Yizhou, had dispatched a large army to quell the rebellion, but instead of succeeding, the army suffered a crushing defeat, countless people in the capital were filled with anxiety.

They were not only worried about the Great Zhou Dynasty, but also praying for Empress Murong Si.

It is also a prayer for them.

No one wants the world to descend into chaos.

When the world is in chaos, ordinary people are the most powerless!

After a while.

Deep within the Taiji Palace.

"Your Majesty, news of victory has arrived from Yizhou!"

"Big victory!"

Pei Guanyin quickly arrived at the Empress Murong Si's palace deep within the Taiji Palace and said with a joyful expression.

Taiji Palace was not only where Murong Si handled state affairs, but also where she lived.

The entire Taiji Palace covers an incredibly vast area.

The front hall was where state affairs were handled, while the rear hall was the sleeping quarters.

squeak...

Soon, the palace doors slowly opened.

Murong Si seemed to appear out of thin air in front of Pei Guanyin, looking at her intently and saying, "You said there was good news from Yizhou, a great victory?"

"Your Majesty, the real credit for this achievement belongs to Lord Chu."

Pei Guanyin said with a serious expression.

"Minister Chu?"

Murong Si's eyes lit up, and she said with a look of surprise, "Tell me in detail."

Pei Guanyin took a deep breath to calm herself down, and then recounted in great detail how Chu Xiu had single-handedly stormed into Yuejun County, assassinated Murong Zhi in the heavily guarded county governor's mansion, infiltrated the demon army camp and killed Jiang Tiansheng and Jiang Yue, and finally slaughtered an entire army of ten thousand demons with just his sword. She also vividly described how Xie Xuan, the deputy general of the capital garrison, led one hundred thousand Yizhou troops into Yuejun County and subjugated the entire county.

"As expected of Minister Chu, this is a truly great achievement!"

"If it weren't for Minister Chu, with the demon army under Murong Zhi's command, even Xie Xuan might not have been able to break through Yuejun County City!"

"I must reward Minister Chu handsomely!"

Murong Si said with an excited expression.

"Your Majesty is wise."

Pei Guanyin said respectfully.

"Chu Xiu, Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, has slain the rebel king Murong Zhi and his faction, and wiped out the demon army, establishing unparalleled merit. He is hereby granted the title of Marquis of Champion, with a fief of 15,000 households!"

"Bestow upon me three sets of flying fish robes!"

Murong Si pondered for a moment, then said in a deep and powerful voice, "Pei Guanyin, you will write the imperial edict, and Jiang Wan'er will go to the Jinyiwei headquarters to announce it tomorrow."

Now that Murong Zhi's rebellion has been suppressed, Minister Chu should no longer be involved in the remaining affairs of Yizhou.

Minister Chu should already be on his way back to the capital.

Tomorrow at noon, Jiang Wan'er will go to the Jinyiwei headquarters to deliver the imperial edict.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Pei Guanyin said respectfully.

The residence of the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites.

Swish!

Jiang Xin, the steward of the Ministry of Rites' residence, appeared outside a courtyard, bowed, and said, "Reporting to my lord, news has arrived from Yizhou."

"Oh?"

A moment later, Wang Hao, the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites, came out of the room wearing a robe and looked at Jiang Xin.

"Master, the rebellion has been completely suppressed!"

Jiang Xin said in a low voice.

"?"

Wang Hao frowned, looking surprised and asked, "The rebellion has been suppressed?"

Didn't Jiang Tiansheng lead his demon army to defeat the 100,000-strong Yizhou army?

Could it be that Xie Xuan defeated Jiang Tiansheng with his 100,000-strong Beijing garrison after so long?

"Does Murong Zhi have no other trump cards left?"

"My lord, it was not Xie Xuan and the 100,000 soldiers of the Beijing Garrison who made this possible."

"The reason why Murong Zhi was wiped out was related to Chu Xiu."

"Chu Xiu risked his life to infiltrate the city of Yuejun County."

"He single-handedly killed Murong Zhi, Jiang Tiansheng, and Jiang Yue."

"They even wiped out an entire army of ten thousand demons."

"If it weren't for Chu Xiu, it would have been extremely difficult for Xie Xuan to defeat the demon army under Murong Zhi's command."

"It's even highly likely that Xie Xuan will suffer a crushing defeat!"

Jiang Xin considered for a moment before speaking.

"what?"

"You're saying that Chu Xiu alone suppressed Murong Zhi's rebellion?"

Wang Hao's expression changed drastically, and he said with a look of shock.

In his view, this was no different from Chu Xiu suppressing Murong Zhi's rebellion alone.

Xie Xuan's 100,000-strong Beijing garrison army was virtually invisible and played no role; they won effortlessly.

"Master, I have no idea how Chu Xiu managed to infiltrate Yuejun County."

"However, he was able to infiltrate the city of Yuejun County and assassinate Murong Zhi and others without being detected."

"This shows that his strength is definitely beyond our expectations!"

"This child has truly grown up!"

"If we cannot eradicate them, they will pose a huge threat to the entire Wang clan of Taiyuan!"

Jiang Xin said with a solemn expression.

"Indeed, Chu Xiu has grown up!"

"However, at this moment, we, the Wang family of Taiyuan, cannot take action against him."

"At the very least, we can't act in secret!"

Wang Hao remained silent for a while, then looked in the direction of Wenyuan Pavilion and said, "There is a vacancy in the cabinet now, and our Taiyuan Wang family must secure this position."

"Old slave understands."

Jiang Xin understood immediately and said...

Wang Hao said that the Wang family of Taiyuan should not take action, but that did not mean he would not kill Chu Xiu.

This news spread throughout the entire capital city in a very short time.

Not to mention the high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital, even ordinary people know about it.

Unlike the jubilation of ordinary people, many high-ranking officials in the capital looked at the Embroidered Uniform Guard with a sense of apprehension.

Chu Xiu's strength once again refreshed their understanding.
