Chapter 306: Birthday Man Hangs Himself
"When my A'xi takes action, who can compete with him?" Chu Zhao raised his head proudly.
Tang Xiao's eyes are full of stars:
"As expected of my old sister!"
Gao Zeyu said:
"Gu Xi, you have made a great contribution this time. I will report the truth to the leader after I return. Your future is limitless."
Gu Xi said modestly:
"No matter where you are, it's all thanks to all of us."
Tang Xiao: I have made a contribution? Didn't I just lie in the space villa and eat and drink?
A few people were chatting when Gu Xi saw a flash of golden light in front of his eyes.

The death of H State Governor Barnett in a terrorist attack became a hot search headline in the United States.
But soon, another piece of information became a hot topic, which was the traffic in H State.
In fact, for many ordinary people, the life or death of a governor has little impact on them.
However, the fact that there are terrorists in H State makes many people very uneasy.
Especially foreign tourists and business travelers.
They strongly demanded that traffic be restored in State H and they wanted to leave this troubled place as soon as possible.
The terrorists first blew up a manor and then blew up the governor's residence. Who knows where his next target will be?
Even the native people of H State want to escape.
Under pressure, the Deputy Governor of State H had to order the restoration of traffic.
Gu Xi boarded the plane back home.
At this time, everyone in H State is desperately trying to flee. It would be strange if they didn't leave.
In the first-class cabin of the plane, Gu Xi put on an eye mask and went to sleep.

Peaceful country.
Liu Erdan reported:
"Master Imperial Master, His Majesty has sent a eunuch from the palace with a verbal order for you to come to the palace for the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet."
Time flies, it’s already Mid-Autumn Festival.
"Who participated?" Gu Xi asked.
Liu Erdan said:
"I heard from the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict that all the civil and military officials above the third rank in the court are invited, as well as princes, princesses, dukes, marquises, and earls. By the way, the Princess of Northern Yan and the envoys will also attend."
Regarding Gu Xi's land lease, the Northern Yan envoys sent a letter to the Northern Yan court, but they have not received a reply yet, so the Northern Yan people have been staying in the post station.
Gu Xi was getting ready to change clothes and go out.
The signalman suddenly ran over with a nervous look on his face.
"Master Imperial Master, Li Tieniu just sent a telegram saying that tonight's banquet is in danger. He was ordered to lead his troops to ambush around the Yanqing Palace. His team is of course fine, but he said that another team of imperial guards has also set up an ambush."
"Oh? Is the dog emperor going to hold a Hongmen Banquet for me?" Gu Xi's expression was extremely calm.
Liu Erdan was amazed in his heart, thinking that he was worthy of being his family's national teacher, as he remained calm even when faced with a mountain collapse.
"Master Imperial Master, how about we claim to be sick and not attend the banquet?"
Although the Imperial Master is extremely capable, that is the Imperial Palace. If the Emperor has a plan, there is still some danger.
Gu Xi knocked on Liu Erdan's forehead:
"What are you afraid of? When have you ever seen my master suffer a loss? If he doesn't do anything, I can still keep him as a mascot and keep him in the palace. Anyway, as long as my orders can be implemented, it doesn't matter who is the emperor. But if he wants to do something, haha, isn't that like the birthday boy hanging himself?"
Liu Erdan was still a little worried:
"Master Imperial Master, please take me with you and give me a few grenades. If anyone dares to attack, I will blow up the Yanqing Palace."
Gu Xi said:
"That won't do. The whole court is here. If they're all killed in the explosion, who will take care of the country?"
There are corrupt officials in the court, but there are also capable ministers. We cannot generalize them all.
What's more, my mother is now also a first-rank official, so she will definitely be among those invited.
Chu Zhao was naturally among those invited.
He hadn't slept for two days and two nights. Now he followed his grandfather's carriage with dark circles under his eyes, riding the horse and yawning.
Lord Chu lifted the curtain and glanced at Chu Zhao:
"Did you go out to steal at night, little brat?"
Chu Zhao thought to himself: This thief is really a big deal. He even flew to the other side of the ocean.
But he said:
"Grandfather, let's go to the Gu family and pick up Mrs. Gu. The eldest daughter of the Gu family is my fiancée. We should protect them as an orphan and a widow."
Lord Chu thought about it. Although they had not yet gotten married and it was not in accordance with etiquette, there were only orphans and widows left in the Gu family. If they did not protect them, they might be bullied.
So he nodded and said, "Okay, go ahead. I think you are thoughtful."
Gu Xi on the other side made the same decision.
The carriages from both sides arrived at the gate of Gu Mansion, but they were told that the eldest lady and the young master and young lady had all been picked up by carriages sent from the palace.
Gu Xi frowned.
This is not right! How could the dog emperor care about the Gu family, which only has a title but no real power?
There is only one answer.
It must be that the dog emperor wanted to use the Gu family to control Gu Xi and make her submit.
Gu Xi was filled with rage.
She doesn't care how the dog emperor wants to deal with her. She will just fight back against the enemy and block the water with earth.
But taking her family as hostages would touch her sore spot!
Chu Zhao also saw Gu Xi's carriage, a gentle smile appeared on his lips, he rode his horse to catch up and said:
"National Master, what a coincidence! We meet again!"
Gu Xi didn't bother to pay attention to him. What a coincidence! It was less than two hours since they separated.
Seeing Gu Xi's gloomy face, Chu Zhao felt that something must have happened.
If you think about it carefully, it is true. The emperor sent a carriage just to pick up the woman from the Gu family and bring her into the palace. This is not a simple matter.
Chu Zhao rode back to Lord Chu's side, got into the carriage, and said solemnly:
"Grandfather, I'm afraid something big is going to happen at the banquet tonight. How about you claim to be sick and not go?"
Lord Chu glanced at the Gu Mansion and his eyes shifted.
The older you get, the wiser you are. He knew that the Imperial Master was Madam Qi's nephew.
From various clues, it can be judged that Your Majesty's fear of the Imperial Master is growing day by day.
He took Madam Qi and others away today for no apparent reason. I’m afraid he wants to deal with the Imperial Master.
"You little brat, do you think your grandfather is a coward? Since the Gu family is married to the Chu family, we will prosper together and suffer together. What's more, you have a very good relationship with the national teacher. This time, it is impossible for the Chu family to stay out of trouble."
Lord Chu sighed heavily.
I'm afraid things are going to change today.
Seeing his grandfather was worried, Chu Zhao tried to comfort him:
"Go ahead if you want to go. I will protect you. Don't worry, the Chu family will be fine."
"Alas, if it is a blessing, it will not be a disaster. If it is a disaster, it cannot be avoided. Let's go." Lord Chu ordered.
He had received news that An Mengde had returned to Beijing, which was really surprising.
Because now is the critical moment in the negotiations between Anning Kingdom and Beiyan Kingdom. If Your Majesty summons An Mengde back to Beijing at this time, it must be that something big is going to happen.
At the gate of Gu Mansion.
The secret guards who had been watching the Gu Mansion's every move rode fast horses straight to the palace.
