The two stayed in the capital for more than half a month, and Pei Yaozhou took Shen Ruoxi to eat almost all kinds of delicious food in the capital.
If it weren't for the frequent military reports, Shen Ruoxi would even suspect that they were not coming to attack the city, but to have fun.
Half a month later, a cluster of blue fireworks rose in the sky above the northern suburbs. Pei Yaozhou, who was sitting opposite the window, paused slightly while picking up food, and then smiled.
He continued to pick up the piece of steamed pork with rice flour and put it into Shen Ruoxi's bowl.
"Eat more, it's going to be hard work tonight."
Upon hearing this, Shen Ruoxi's legs subconsciously went weak, but looking at Pei Yaozhou's serious and calm look at this moment, Shen Ruoxi knew that the moment they had been waiting for was finally coming.
Night is falling.
Outside the capital, the whistling sound of the wind and the rhythmic sound of footsteps echoed among the uninhabited mountains.
Those mountain villagers wearing coarse cloth all disappeared overnight, changed into military uniforms, picked up spears, and appeared outside the inner city gate.
Inside the city gate just across the street, Shen Ruoxi and Pei Yaozhou were sitting in a carriage.
Guards patrolling the city gates were going back and forth, with short cannons placed on top of the gates. If they forced their way in, they would be blown to pieces by the artillery fire.
"Azhou, how do you plan to bring in the large army?" Shen Ruoxi asked curiously.
Pei Yaozhou curled the corners of his lips: "Wait a little longer, we'll be there soon."
Almost there?
Shen Ruoxi became even more curious, was it that time was almost up, or was it that people were almost up?
But her doubts were soon answered.
I heard the sound of horse hooves not far away. The person coming was wearing a black nightgown and riding a black fast horse. If you didn't look carefully in the dark, you couldn't detect him at all.
The sound of horse hooves stopped abruptly in front of them, and the black figure jumped off the horse, and then the curtain of their carriage was lifted.
The man in black knelt on one knee in front of them and said in a clear voice: "I am late, I hope you will forgive me, big brother!"
Shen Ruoxi touched her chin. Where did she seem to have heard this voice before?
Pei Yaozhou leaned forward and helped the man up: "Don't be polite, third brother. Come and meet your sister-in-law."
"Sister-in-law!" The young man bowed again, then raised his head, revealing a row of white teeth.
Shen Ruoxi was stunned for a moment, then blurted out: "Gu Xi? Why are you here!"
The young man's eyes sparkled, and he was obviously surprised and delighted: "Sister-in-law actually knows my name. Third brother is really flattered!"
Listening to the other party's elegant words, Shen Ruoxi suddenly realized something and looked at Pei Yaozhou.
Pei Yaozhou nodded and pointed at the young man, introducing him: "Gu Xi, the third son of the Gu family. He and I are sworn brothers."
The third son of the Gu family?
Wait, Gu family...
"The Gu family of Gu Qing, the commander of the Imperial Guard?" Shen Ruoxi asked in a low voice.
Unexpectedly, Gu Xi had good hearing and responded with a smile: "Yes, Gu Qing is my scumbag father."
"Scumbag... scumbag dad?" Shen Ruoxi was shocked. This word was not common in ancient times.
Pei Yaozhou smiled and once again resolved Shen Ruoxi’s doubts: “This is what I taught Gu San.”
Shen Ruoxi: …
Gu Xi excitedly began to narrate: "A few days ago, my family tricked me into going to the border town. Luckily, I met my eldest brother. If he hadn't helped me, I would have been sold and would still be eating sand in the border town now!"
The corner of Shen Ruoxi's mouth twitched. It would not be easy for such a grown-up person to be sold.
"How's the task I asked you to do going?" Pei Yaozhou asked.
Gu Xi curled his lips and smiled: "Of course I will fulfill my mission!"
The coachman whipped the horse and the stalled carriage moved forward again until it arrived at the city gate.
When the soldiers guarding the city were about to step forward to stop them, the driver showed a badge. The soldiers guarding the city immediately changed their attitude and saluted respectfully.
"Excuse me, who is in the carriage?"
"It's me." A corner of the carriage curtain was lifted, revealing half of Gu Xi's face.
Completely different from Gu Xi's funny look just now, the boy's eyes were cold and calm at this moment. The soldiers guarding the city just looked at him for a moment and then lowered their heads.
Shen Ruoxi, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help but give a thumbs up. It turned out that Gu Xi was a perfect actor in both his past and present lives!
The soldiers guarding the city were respectful. "So it's the Third Young Master of the Gu Family. I'm sorry for not welcoming you. I wonder what brings you out of the city?"
Gu Xi's eyes were sharp: "Something happened to the Qin family. His Majesty ordered my father to immediately summon 30,000 soldiers to enter the city to protect the imperial city."
The news of the accidental death of General Qin and Prince Qin in Baiyu Village was only reported to the capital a few days ago. It was now the topic of conversation among the people of the capital, and the soldiers defending the city were no exception.
With the fall of the Qin family, the Qiao family lost its sharpest claw. Naturally, the emperor was uneasy on the throne, and it was understandable that he summoned soldiers to enter the city for protection.
The soldiers guarding the city nodded and immediately ordered someone to open the city gate.
Immediately afterwards, the 30,000 loyal soldiers waiting at the city gate entered the city in a mighty procession.
Shen Ruoxi looked at the Imperial Guard Commander badge that Gu Xi was playing with, curious and amused: "Isn't this something Gu Qing wears close to his body? How did you get it?"
Gu Xi looked at Pei Yaozhou with admiration: "Thanks to you, big brother, for teaching me this method."
"My scumbag father was already addicted to women, so I played to his desires and completely broke his body. Then I tricked him into seeing the true colors of my two brothers. Naturally, he handed everything over to me, a filial son."
After listening to Gu Xi, Shen Ruoxi felt admiration for Pei Yaozhou.
It had only been a month since she left, and Pei Yaozhou had actually done so many great things quietly.
Once we got into the city, everything became easier.
Gu Xi followed the same plan and led his army into the imperial city smoothly and went straight to the emperor's bedroom.
The moment they entered the emperor's bedroom, the 30,000 soldiers took out a red ribbon and tied it around their arms.
At Pei Yaozhou's command, 30,000 troops headed straight for the main hall.
Everything happened so fast that no one in the hall could react. Suddenly there were screams and the palace maids and eunuchs ran around in panic.
Pei Yaozhou strode into his former bedroom.
This place is said to be his bedroom, but in fact, he has hardly spent a few nights here since he ascended the throne. On weekdays, he prefers to go to Fengluan Palace to stick with Shen Ruoxi.
At that time, he relied on his young age and begged Shen Ruoxi to let him stay in Fengluan Palace for a long time. As soon as he acted coquettishly, Shen Ruoxi softened her heart and agreed.
Thinking of this, Pei Yaozhou couldn't help but smile.
After years of infatuation, fortunately the clouds finally cleared and the moon appeared!
…
"My little beauty, let me guess where you are?"
The middle-aged man had a lot of loose flesh on his body. He was wearing a bright yellow gauze dress, blindfolded, and fluttering around.
While running, all the flesh on his body was shaking.
"My little beauty, I finally caught you. Let me touch you carefully. Which beauty of mine is this?"
Pei Yaozhou's face darkened instantly when he saw the middle-aged man groping at his armor.
