Chapter 21: The Assassins

Gu Du was worried for two days, everything was as usual, nothing happened, Gu Du began to miss Jin Lan again, a month of getting along, leaving too many memories, when they were together, they didn't feel that when they were together, people left, and thoughts came like a tide, invading every place in my heart.

Seeing Gu Du's growth, Shangguan He also began to work hard, although she came to force marriage, but Chu Qin was right, she embarked on this road, that is, there is no retreat, she can't be Chu Qin's child attendant forever, her identity does not allow it, and her self-esteem does not allow it.

However, Shangguan He can only practice martial arts, not soldiers, she really can't do it, and she can't even move fifty soul soldiers.

Chu Qin asked her not to compare herself with Gu Du, saying that everyone's talent is different, practice martial arts first, and with the improvement of martial arts, mental power will gradually improve.

Shangguan He asked Chu Qin: "Then my talent is to practice martial arts, right?" ”

Chu Qin replied: "No, your talent is to be beautiful and have a good father." ”

So Gu Du went to train alone, and when he came back from training that night, he just left the main street and entered the street in the fang, and two people jumped out at the same time, all wearing black clothes and covering their faces, holding horizontal knives in their hands.

The architectural pattern of the Kannai is the same as that of the Imperial City, all of which are boxy, with a cross-shaped main street in the east, west, north and south, and several square roads connecting the main street.

Each square has a number of houses, five to eight large houses, ten to fifteen small houses, and every two rows of houses is a street.

Gu Du stood holding the lacquer box of the soul army, and did not speak, the two black-clothed people in front of him exchanged glances, and at the same time raised their knives to slash at Gu Du.

The two thought that Gu Du would retreat, and in that case, the two men in black behind would be able to deal with Gu Du. But Gu Du didn't retreat, but flashed to the left, bypassed the man in black against the courtyard wall, and then ran away.

If you don't run, you can't do it, Gu Du went to train the army, so he held a lacquer box, and didn't bring a horizontal knife, who would have thought that the assassin could come in the guan, and he would come to assassinate him.

This is not right, he is just a boy waiter, or was he selected only a few years ago, and he is hundreds of miles away from the imperial city, how could anyone want to assassinate him? Unless Jin Lan brought someone here.

But that's impossible, first of all, Jin Lan won't bring someone to kill him, and secondly, the four men in black are all men, he stayed with Shangguan He all day, and got along with Jin Lan for a month, he didn't need to look at it if it was a man or a woman, he could smell it with his nose.

He has no enemies, if you have to say grudges, only at the celebration banquet, he killed the deputy general, although he was killed by Chu Qin's order, but no one dared to go to Chu Qin for revenge, so he could only bear the blame.

Gu Du ran fast, and in a moment, he got rid of the four men in black, which also shows that these four men in black will not work lightly, so it is impossible for them to be assassins who have crossed the barrier, and it is likely to be soldiers of the garrison.

Gu Du ran back to his residence, and when he heard Gu Du's voice louder than usual, Chu Qin walked out and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Gu Du gasped and replied, "Someone wants to kill the disciple, and the four men in black, all of them are men, and they were dumped by the disciples." ”

Chu Qin frowned slightly and said, "Rest, go out with a knife in the future." ”

"Yes." Gu Du agreed, stepped forward, and handed the lacquer box to Chu Qin.

The next day, Chu Qin went to find Wu Renxiong, and after sitting down, Chu Qin said: "General, last night my Tong attendant Gu Du was assassinated by four men in black, please investigate this matter thoroughly." ”

Wu Renxiong was stunned for a moment, and said angrily: "There is such a thing!" This general must take the responsibility of the defenders of the city! ”

Chu Qin said: "The general is angry, it shouldn't be a rebel, Gu Du didn't bring a knife when he went to practice, so he didn't engage in battle, but fled, and those who can be thrown off by Gu Du will definitely not work lightly, and it will be impossible to cross the city wall." ”

Wu Renxiong frowned, in this way, it should have something to do with the deputy general who was killed, and he didn't dare to seek revenge from Chu Qin, so he went to kill Gu Du, after all, it was Gu Du who killed directly, and Tong Shi was definitely better than the soul master.

Wu Renxiong said: "Master Chu, rest assured, General Ben will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly." ”

Chu Qin got up and said, "There is General Lao, take your leave." ”

Chu Qin came to find Wu Renxiong, not expecting him to find out anything, because there were no clues at all, and no one could find out.

Chu Qin's purpose is only one, with Gu Du's current skills, as long as he carries a knife, the next time he encounters an assassin, he will be able to kill one or two, and say hello to Wu Renxiong in advance, so as not to explain again when someone is dead, and it is easy to misunderstand.

Gu Du still went to train every night, carrying a knife.

Shangguan He was going to accompany Gu Du, but Chu Qin said that she was cumbersome and didn't let her go.

Shangguan He was not convinced, and had a competition with Gu Du, and after a quarter of an hour, Shangguan He was so tired that he was panting, but he didn't even touch the corner of Gu Du's clothes.

Shangguan He asked Gu Du: "You are so powerful, I usually beat you, why don't you hide?" ”

Gu Du replied: "You are my sister, if you want to fight, you can fight, it doesn't hurt anyway." ”

It's okay for five days in a row, but Gu Du feels tighter and tighter day by day, his spiritual sense is stronger than before, although he can't see the words on the psychic wood, but Gu Du knows that this feeling of tightness in his heart is not a good sign.

It snowed on the sixteenth day of the plum month, and it began to fall just after the hour, and the snow flakes became bigger and bigger, and Shangguan He was so happy that he jumped and screamed in the yard like a child.

The imperial city is in the south, and it is easy not to snow, let alone such a heavy snowfall.

Gu Du hid in the house to bake the brazier, he was so cold that he shivered, the cold from his heart outward, his hands were a little hot to the touch, and his heart was still cold.

Shangguan He shouted outside: "Gu Du! Come out and play in the snow with me! ”

Gu Du came out with a big coat, and Shangguan He was about to fight with a snowball, but found that his face was pale and his teeth were fighting, so he hurriedly threw the snowball and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Gu Du's voice trembled and replied, "Cold, cold from the heart to the outside." ”

Shangguan He said angrily: "Why didn't Leng say it? ”

Then he pulled him to find Chu Qin and said, "He's cold like this, don't be sick, right?" ”

Chu Qin touched Gu Du's forehead and face and asked, "Are you dizzy?" ”

Gu Du replied: "Don't faint." ”

Chu Qin asked again, "Does there hurt anywhere on your body?" ”

Gu Du replied, "No." ”

Chu Qin asked again, "Are you scared?" ”

Gu Du hesitated for a moment and replied, "I'm not afraid." ”

Chu Qin said: "It's best not to be afraid, it's useless to be afraid, people have a life, when you don't deserve to die, you can't die no matter what, when you should die, drinking saliva can choke you to death." ”

Gu Du nodded and replied: "The disciple understands that what should come will definitely come, and the longer it drags on, the more uncertain it will be." ”

Chu Qin nodded, Shangguan He frowned, grabbed Gu Du's hand and said, "Be careful." ”
