Chapter 336 The Charm of Airplanes

After Pan Rongrong left, Gu Xi arranged for the signalman to send a message to Li Tieniu in the north, asking him to pay attention to Beiyan, as there is a high probability that they will attack at the beginning of next month.

Gu Xi left a large number of guns and ammunition in the north, so it was easy for Li Tieniu to defend the border.

Instead, she plans to make a personal trip to this mysterious southern Xinjiang.

At the court meeting the next day, Gu Xi told the ministers about the suspected alliance between Northern Yan and Southern Xinjiang. The ministers were shocked. They did not expect that Southern Xinjiang, which had always been peaceful, would be involved.

Gu Yunqing said:

"Now that we have General Li and the Northern Army in the North, it should be no problem to defend the border, but Shuzhou Prefecture and Guizhou Prefecture do not have elite soldiers and generals. I request to go to Shuzhou and Guizhou Prefecture to guard them and will not let the people of Southern Xinjiang set foot in the Central Plains!"

The two states of Shu and Gui border southern Xinjiang. For more than a thousand years, people in southern Xinjiang have lived deep in the mountains and rarely set foot in the Central Plains. In addition, the road to Shu is difficult and there is no need to guard it at all, so there are only a small number of troops there.

Gu Xi shook his head and said:

"No. My father is the second-in-command of the cabinet. You and Elder Zhou are still needed to stay in Kyoto."

Gu Yunqing only wanted to help his daughter solve her problems, but he forgot that he is now a civil servant.

Chu Shiting asked:

"Master Gu needs to stay in Kyoto. I am a military commander. Now that there is no war in the northwest, I will lead 20,000 northwest troops to guard the two states of Shu and Guizhou!"

It seems that we have to rely on our own family to fight the war, and both fathers want to go to the battlefield.

Chu Zhao directly rejected Gu Xi's request:

"Father, Northern Yan and Southern Xinjiang are likely to attack in six days. The journey between Shu and Guizhou is long. By the time you arrive, the food will be cold."

Chu Shiting glared at Chu Zhao, "You little bastard! You don't even give me any face in front of all the civil and military officials in the court and His Majesty!"

The ministers frowned:

"What should I do?"

Gu Xi smiled slightly:

"I will go myself!"

The ministers were surprised and said hurriedly:

"Your Majesty, you can't do that! Although the Nanjiang troops are not strong, they are good at witchcraft. Your Majesty cannot put yourself in danger."

Gu Xi said:

"I can reach Southern Xinjiang in half a day by plane. Who else can get there in half a day except me?"

The ministers were silent.

Chu Shiting's eyes were burning.

"I beg you to accompany your majesty!"

Chu Zhao cleared his throat:

"Father, I will accompany His Majesty."

Chu Shiting: "..."

This rebellious son chose to go against him at this moment. He had been fascinated by His Majesty's airplane for a long time and was eager to fly to the sky to take a look.

All the ministers followed Gu Xi to the helipad behind the imperial palace and watched their empress and husband take off into the sky on a plane. They were all shocked.

Although Chu Shiting and Zhou Qing had heard of airplanes before, this was the first time they saw one.

Everyone turned their eyes to Gu Yunqing.

Gu Yunqing touched his chin pretending to be calm, his smugness hard to conceal between his eyebrows.

"Why are you looking at me? I only sat there once."

A few days ago, Gu Xi confessed everything to her family. Of course, she said that she had received guidance from an immortal, but did not mention the time travel.

Firstly, it is easier for the ancients to accept it this way, and secondly, I don’t want them to be sad for the original owner.

At that time, Gu Yunqing and her younger brothers and sisters were very interested in the aircraft she mentioned, so she simply bought a medium-sized helicopter and took the whole family for a flight in the sky.

Chu Shiting was jealous to death. Oh, it would be better to have a daughter. That brat only knew how to enjoy himself and didn’t even know how to let his dad experience the feeling of flying on an airplane.

The eyes of others also shifted from the silver dot in the sky that was getting smaller and smaller to Gu Yunqing's face.

He said with a burning gaze:

"Master Gu, may I ask what is in the sky? Are there really gods?"

Gu Yunqing raised his head and said calmly:

"Maybe there was, but I didn't see it. All I saw below were clouds, a vast expanse of white, just like a heavy snowfall in winter."

The ministers were surprised and said:

"Ah? Then why don't you tear a piece of the cloud down?"

If they wanted to see the clouds, they could only look up. Even if they climbed to the top of the mountain, the clouds were still hanging high in the sky.

I have never experienced the feeling of having clouds under my body. I only saw in storybooks that gods walked on auspicious clouds.

Gu Yunqing said:

"His Majesty said that the windows of the plane cannot be opened, so I can only look but not touch."

Everyone felt sorry, so they tried to please him:

"Master Gu, if you have time in the future, could you please take me to heaven to have a look?"

Gu Yunqing rolled his eyes and sighed:

"Your Majesty works so hard all day long, how can you have any free time? When the new city is built, the treasury is full, and the people of the world can live and work in peace and contentment, then maybe Your Majesty will have some free time."

The ministers seemed to be thinking about something. It seemed that they had to work hard.

Gu Yunqing continued his PUA as he walked back:

"What you saw just now was a small plane. His Majesty also said that there is a large plane that can carry hundreds of people, but it requires a lot of silver to buy. But as long as the country is rich and the people are strong, buying a hundred or eighty planes will not be a big deal. Then, you gentlemen can fly whenever you want, right?"

From then on, all officials rolled up their sleeves and worked hard to promote construction and development.

*

Southern Xinjiang, sky above.

Gu Xi and Chu Zhao looked down through the glass window of the plane and saw endless mountains.

They only knew that the ruler of Southern Xinjiang was a saint, but where could they find her in such a large area?

Gu Xi and Chu Zhao were both worried.

The plane continued to circle over southern Xinjiang. Gu Xi activated the onboard high-precision scanning system. The terrain below was complex, with mountains, rocks and trees everywhere. They had to find a place where there were people first.

Following the system prompts, Gu Xi lowered the plane's altitude and flew slowly along the mountains.

Finally, they saw some buildings below, and even some humans, but they were so far away that they looked as small as a fingernail.

Gu Xi's eyes lit up and he immediately moved towards the area where there were people.

As the plane slowly descended, they saw the humans on the ground pointing at them in the air.

Finally, the plane landed smoothly on a relatively open grassland.

There is a village next to it.

The villagers saw a giant silver bird flying over and gathered around it curiously.

But then two people walked out of the giant bird's belly.

The villagers looked at the two uninvited guests who fell from the sky with surprise and vigilance.

Gu Xi and Chu Zhao walked towards the crowd.

"Don't be afraid, we are here to ask for directions."

As soon as she opened her mouth, the villagers ran away in fear.

"Oh no! They are Han Chinese!"

"Go and inform the village elder!"

In a blink of an eye, the villagers ran away, and only a little girl of seven or eight years old was left standing at the edge of the village.

She stared at the plane with burning eyes, then raised her little face and asked Gu Xi:

"Sister, are you gods from heaven?"

Gu Xi thought about the villagers' reactions just now, which seemed to show great hostility and fear towards the Han people.

So, the identity of a god should be easier to communicate, right?

So he squatted down, showed a friendly smile, nodded and said:

"Yes, we are gods!"
