Chapter 279: Chapter 168: Beating You Up_2 Chapter 279: Chapter 168: Beating You Up_2 As a woman, shielding an old man and two boys, she stood fearlessly in front of more than twenty Feathered Forest Guards, challenging Eunuch Gui!
This scene, even for the widely-experienced Eunuch Gui, stirred some doubts within him.
The situation momentarily became stagnant.
Onlookers hiding in the distance started whispering to one another.
“Look, I told you, that ruffian Mo Wu simply teased Lady Changsheng’s maid a bit, and Lady Changsheng caught him and beat him hard. Eunuch Gui, blind as a bat, actually struck Uncle Song of her household. Isn’t this like looking for a stone in a cesspit, definitely seeking death!”
“Yes, just like Lady Changsheng said, with the Emperor far away in the Liuzhou Region, Prince Mu is undeniably the local dragon head, and Lady Changsheng is the second dragon head; people she’s beaten up aren’t few. This guy from the capital must be a fool to bump head first into the muzzle!”
“In my opinion, whether the imperial edict is proclaimed or not, these guys are in for a severe thrashing.”
Countless sympathetic gazes were cast, making Eunuch Gui’s heart quake with fear.
Gu Changsheng was simply not the same as the one acclaimed in rumors from Capital City!
She was so fierce as to have quite the history of beating people up!
At that moment, Eunuch Gui’s natural fear of death flared up, and he felt a twinge of fear.
Indeed, as they said, in Liuzhou, with the Emperor being far away, it was a realm where only Prince Mu ruled supreme, and rumors had it that Gu Changsheng had caught the Emperor’s eye due to her vague relationship with Prince Mu, that’s why he was sent to deliver the decree!
Spotting a familiar face, Hu Yihai, among the crowd, Gu Changsheng called him over and handed Uncle Song to him to apply medicine.
Hu Yihai didn’t even blink before agreeing.
Under Eunuch Gui’s deadly glare, Hu Yihai confidently led Uncle Song and the two boys out to apply medicine.
With no worries left behind her, Gu Changsheng turned back with a cool face, looking anew at the group from the capital.
“Is there anything else you need to say? If not, let’s get started! Violence might not solve everything, but it is more than enough for your case. I really don’t mind doing it myself!”
Gu Changsheng’s words struck like thunder in the hearts of Eunuch Gui and his companions.
They became uneasy and dared not make a move.
Those who know the times are wise, and the Imperial Forest Army wasn’t foolish either!
They had clearly heard the rumblings of the crowd, understood clearly.
If today they truly did something to Lady Changsheng, fearing they might not even make it out of the Liuzhou Region!
Although Eunuch Gui said how Gu Changsheng would fall out of favor with Prince Mu and what would happen then, after all, till this moment, she hadn’t lost favor, had she?
Prince Mu’s presence was like that of Divine Residence, renowned for over a dozen years; they shuddered at the mere thought, let alone provoking him!
They certainly weren’t seeking death!
“My patience has always been thin, don’t think dragging the time out will keep you safe, hurt my people, and even if you are the Heavenly Emperor’s Father, don’t expect to get away unscathed! Eunuch Gui, while you can still speak, hurry up and finish saying what you need to, otherwise, don’t blame me for not warning you when you can’t speak later!” Gu Changsheng’s patience was running out, her expression growing even more unfriendly.
Uncle Song had guarded the old house for years in poor health for her, and since her return, he had not enjoyed a single day’s fortune but instead had been jumpy and fearful in assisting her. She already owed Uncle Song, treating him with the respect due to an elder.
A mere Imperial Edict Eunuch and a few young Imperial Forest Army men, and they had swollen Uncle Song’s face terribly.
One should not strike the face, life may be dispensable, but this affront, she was determined to avenge fully for Uncle Song!
It’s just flaunting the Emperor’s authority, isn’t it?
The Emperor’s ancestors’ Imperial Gold Token was still safely in her bosom, even if the Emperor himself came, he would have to kneel first!
Head-to-head, in Gu Changsheng’s eyes, that’s just a matter of fear!
No matter what, she wouldn’t be any more favored in the Emperor’s eyes, so might as well break and let whatever happens happen!
Worst comes to worst, they part ways, and nobody gets to play!
At this moment, initially planning to properly accept the decree, to see what exactly was written in the imperial edict, if nothing too outrageous was in it, she considered that she might agree if she felt good about it, but plans can never keep up with changes. Damn it, Uncle Song being beaten was beyond her expectations, thus now, she was very angry!
The consequences were naturally severe!
Seeing those twenty-something Imperial Forest Army men and Eunuch Gui hesitating to make a move, Gu Changsheng felt that waiting any longer might not yield anything else, she rubbed her hands in preparation, and her figure instantly moved.
Her figure swift as a bird, her movements accurate and quick, in the blink of an eye, she disarmed the long spears from the hands of more than twenty Imperial Forest Army men.
The sound of spears falling was continuous, and the twenty-something Imperial Forest Army men turned instantly into stunned statues!
Fast! Such fast speed! They couldn’t even see clearly how she made her move before their weapons were taken by her!
They suddenly felt a chilling sensation on their backs!
“Lady Changsheng is mighty and powerful!”
“Hit! Hit them hard, these haughty officials from the capital!”
The onlooking crowd spontaneously cleared some space, unable to contain their excitement, they clapped and cheered.
With a powerful punch, Gu Changsheng exclaimed, “I told you not to touch my people, do you think I’m a pushover?!”
One by one, the Imperial Forest Army men were laid out on the ground, even the Little Eunuch was not spared, getting beaten black and blue.
“You dare to beat me! I, your humble servant, hold the imperial edict! The imperial edict!” Eunuch Gui, the only one left, cried out hoarsely, still holding the imperial edict high.
With a swift kick, Gu Changsheng sent the imperial edict flying from Eunuch Gui’s hands.
“Now, with the imperial edict not in your hands, I’m going to beat you up!” Relentlessly adding kicks and punches…
