Chapter 860: Chapter 683: Dowager Empress Xiao Offers the Country
Gu Changsheng heard this, and three black lines instantly appeared on his forehead, looking at Borjigin Nian with a particularly unfriendly gaze.
Damn it, is this rhythm of not showing her some colors just to keep a secret?
What a headache-inducing feeling!
"Hehe..." A low, muffled laugh came from behind, very pleasant, capturing one’s imagination.
But obviously, Gu Changsheng didn’t think so and swung his elbow back. Turning his head, he bared his teeth at the man behind him, who looked like a deity with a smile that could topple a city, "Laugh again! Laugh again, and I’ll eat you up!"
Is it really that funny to see her suffer?
This evildoer is courting death!
"The grand wedding ceremony is to be held, and you’re eager to eat me up?" Zhou Mu remarked, completely unfazed.
Gu Changsheng: "..."
Shameless! This is blatant teasing, shameless in broad daylight!
Gu Changsheng ground his teeth, feeling the gazes around her becoming increasingly ambiguous, with a tangible rosy peach blossom hue!
"Evildoer!" Gu Changsheng gnashed her teeth.
"Hmm? What does my beloved command?" Zhou Mu responded naturally, showing no hint of shyness.
Gu Changsheng was at a loss for words.
She thought that if one was shameless, one would be invincible, but the evildoer had already surpassed invincibility!
Beyond help!
Sparing too many words with such a person would also lose her dignity; she, Gu Changsheng, was a person who valued her dignity greatly and would resolutely not do anything so disgraceful!
Therefore, Gu Changsheng chose to ignore him!
A moment passed, and Gu Changsheng could clearly sense the witch gu’s aura getting closer from afar, no more than eighty miles away, while no further sound came from within the city gates.
Buried under the foundation of the Four Kingdoms were guardians of the clan, which shocked Gu Changsheng but was far from frightening.
At that moment, Emperor Zhoulin was being escorted by experts from the Zhou Family Clan, and it seemed her foster father wouldn’t be in any danger.
But once the city gates opened, the ambitious Vassal Kings in the city would inevitably see their previous efforts come to naught, so inside, a fierce battle was destined to occur. However, that battle was an affair of the Zhou Clan and was unrelated to Gu Changsheng. Soon enough, she would become one of the Zhou Clan Ladies, and though she held the title of Southern Emperor, as a woman, Gu Changsheng did not wish for her hands to be stained with the blood of the Zhou Imperial Family. After all, they were also Zhou Mu’s family!
Gu Changsheng was waiting, and everyone else was waiting, for the Great Zhou Imperial Family to reveal its trump card, whereupon everything would settle, and they awaited that outcome.
The onlookers from afar were eager, sensing too that the Imperial Family was serious this time as even hidden peerless experts had been mobilized. After all, the Southern Emperor’s imperial carriage’s arrival was no small matter, lest neglect caused another sweeping celestial tome!
The downfall of Southern Chen, swift as lightning, was a precedent not long passed, and still freshly remembered!
As everyone waited, a line of carriages escorted by Jiang and others awoke and headed this way.
Gu Changsheng, still in a foul mood from Borjigin Nian and Zhou Mu, heard the commotion, glanced back briefly, then quickly withdrew his gaze, not looking again.
Over four hundred Dark Night Army members were right behind her; Little Meat Bun lay cuddled in Yuan Bao’s arms, sleeping soundly.
Gu Changsheng deeply admired her Little Meat Bun for being able to sleep in such circumstances, marveling that she had indeed given birth to a pig!
Even after galloping all the way, besides the earlier chaos, he hadn’t woken up at all...
Speechless!
Amidst the onlookers’ confusion and Gu Changsheng’s disinterest, the carriage escorted by Jiang and others stopped nearby.
An old woman in a bright yellow phoenix robe, supported by two lively young girls, slowly descended from the carriage.
This person was none other than Dowager Empress Xiao, the ruler of Liaodong of the Northern Country, who had appeared before the city gates a few days ago. The onlookers were not unfamiliar and immediately recognized her.
Dowager Empress Xiao alighted the carriage, handed the dragon head cane in her hand to Jin Zhuer beside her, then received two items from Jin Zhuer’s twin sisters, one in each hand, and walked step by step toward Gu Changsheng and the others.
"Ah! A state document!"
"The Northern Country’s Imperial Seal!"
The onlookers immediately recognized those two items, which had also appeared before the Capital City gates, only to be turned away. The people inside regretted it, but there was nothing they could do. Now, they reappeared at such a subtle time.
Even now, nobody doubted that Dowager Empress Xiao, this over eighty-year-old woman with white hair, was a remarkable figure!
