Chapter 24: Back to the Imperial City

Xiang Chongyang was stunned for a moment, and looked at Chu Qin in amazement.

Chu Qin said: "Ancient books record that the soul master can cultivate the soul servant, but the requirements for the soul servant are extremely high, and they must be able to communicate with the soul master's heart. Xian Bai and Gu Du are friends of life and death, and I want to verify the cultivation of soul servants. ”

Xiang Chongyang said: "But Gu Du is just a child servant, can he cultivate now?" ”

Chu Qin replied: "Of course not, I'll keep Xian Bai first, and when Gu Du's mental power is enough, I can verify it." ”

After speaking, Chu Qin took out a palm-sized lacquer box from his sleeve and put it on the table.

Xiang Chongyang called: "Xin Shou, bring the Imperial Soul Box." ”

"Yes." Xin Shou agreed and took the soul box over.

Xiang Chongyang opened the Imperial Soul Box, Chu Qin opened the small Imperial Soul Box, Xiang Chongyang took out a wisp of soul from the Imperial Soul Box and put it in the small Imperial Soul Box, Chu Qin stretched out his right hand and hung it on the small Imperial Soul Box, and after a while, the white dots on Xian Bai's soul turned into yellow dots.

Chu Qin covered the Imperial Soul Box, put it in his arms, stood up and said, "Farewell." ”

When he returned to his residence, as soon as he entered the courtyard, Shangguan He walked out of the house and asked, "How is it?" ”

Chu Qin walked into the room and sat down before replying, "The general said that those assassins were reinforcements from the rear, and he didn't know those assassins. ”

Shangguan He looked at him, saw that he no longer spoke, and asked again, "And then?" ”

Chu Qin replied: "No, there are no clues, there is nowhere to investigate, so it can only be put on hold for the time being." ”

Shangguan He frowned and said, "Did he say that it was reinforcements?" What is the proof? ”

Chu Qin didn't answer, and asked, "Is Gu Du awake?" ”

Shangguan He replied, "Awake." ”

Chu Qin stood up and walked into the house, Gu Du wanted to stand up, Chu Qin said, "Don't move, lie on your stomach." ”

Gu Du replied, "Thank you Soul Lord." ”

Chu Qin sat on the kang and said to Shangguan He: "You go back to the house, I have something to say to Gu Du." ”

Shangguan He looked at Chu Qin in amazement, and Chu Qin said, "Go back to the house." ”

Shangguan He glared at Chu Qin and stepped back, until the curtain fell, and Chu Qin repeated: "Go back to the house." ”

Shangguan He stomped back to the East House step by step.

Chu Qin said: "I'm asking for the whitewashed soul, and when your spiritual sense is higher, I will teach you the method of cultivating the soul servant." ”

Gu Du was about to stand up again, but Chu Qin pressed his shoulder and said, "Don't move." ”

Gu Du said: "Thank you Soul Master, dare to ask the Soul Master, what is a Soul Servant?" ”

Chu Qin replied: "To put it simply, it is your helper when fighting, only obeying your orders, and is more reliable than a living guard." ”

Gu Du said, "Thank you Soul Master." ”

Chu Qin said: "You don't have to thank me, whether you can cultivate the soul servant or not depends on your talent, and it is difficult to cultivate the soul servant, judging from the records, in the past two hundred years, no one has been able to cultivate into a soul servant." ”

Gu Du nodded and said, "The disciple will definitely do his best." ”

Chu Qin lowered his voice: "The general said that the assassin was a reinforcement from the rear, and the hand crossbow used by the assassin was not the Zhenbei Pass system, but Xiang Chongyang said that the assassin was sent by the general, in order to avenge the lieutenant general, Xian Bai was innocently affected." ”

Gu Du was stunned, it turned out that this was the real reason why Chu Qin asked Shangguan He to return to the house, Chu Qin didn't want Shangguan He to hear these words.

Chu Qin's voice returned to its original state: "With your current strength, it shouldn't be a problem to deal with twelve people, how did you get so many knives?" ”

Gu Du replied: "At that time, seeing Xian Bai's tragic death, the disciple's mind was blank, and he just wanted to hack them to death. ”

Chu Qin said: "In danger, the most taboo is impetuous, and you are arrogant, don't you listen carefully to what I tell you?" ”

Gu Du replied: "The disciple knows his mistakes, and the soul master forgives his sins." ”

Chu Qin lowered his voice again: "It is too worthless to deal with you two child servants with twelve dead soldiers, this matter is extremely strange, and Xiang Chongyang encouraged me to send a letter to the high priest, to say that this matter is Wu Renxiong against the Imperial Soul Division." ”

Gu Du asked softly, "What does the Soul Master want the disciple to do?" ”

Chu Qin's voice returned to its original state: "You are not lightly injured, there is a shortage of doctors and medicines in Guanzhong, I will go to the general tomorrow and ask him to send someone to send you back to the imperial city to recuperate." ”

Gu Du replied, "Thank you Soul Master." ”

Chu Qin lowered his voice again: "Wu Renxiong has been on the border for more than ten years, and he has made great achievements, and he will never take risks for the sake of a deputy general, I will write a letter by hand, and you will hand it over to the high priest yourself." ”

Gu Du nodded, and Chu Qin stood up and left.

After a while, Shangguan He came in with a curtain and asked, "Do you want to drink water?" ”

Gu Du agreed: "Drink, thank you, senior sister." ”

Shangguan He said angrily while pouring water: "There are so many courtesies, it's really poor." ”

Gu Du replied with a smile: "In the past, my father taught me that we are poor, and if we can become children's waiters, we must know how to count etiquette, otherwise we will be looked down upon by the rich and noble." ”

Shangguan He smiled lightly and said, "We don't need to do this between us, come, drink water." ”

Shangguan He squatted down, brought the water bowl to his mouth, fed it to his mouth little by little, and said, "I told the guys, let them send two smoked chickens at night, and you can eat one yourself." ”

"Uh-huh!" Gu Du nodded while drinking water.

The next day, Chu Qin went to Wu Renxiong and said that he would send Gu Du back to the imperial city to recuperate, Wu Renxiong readily agreed, and immediately sent a car and people.

Shangguan He prepared two smoked chickens for Gu Du, secretly put them in his baggage, and told him to eat them in the car and not let the escort soldiers see them.

After helping Gu Du get into the car, Shangguan He said to the captain of the leading army: "My father is Shangguan Mingfeng, the head of the Military and Political Department, Gu Du is my junior brother, if he has any mistakes on the road, don't think about it!" ”

The captain clenched his fists and said, "Your Excellency, you must do your best to escort Lord Gu back to the Imperial City safely." ”

"Hmm." Shangguan He agreed with a cold face.

The escorted team left, and Chu Qin said to Shangguan He: "Don't be like this in the future, if you want others to do your best, you can't rely on power to suppress it." ”

Shangguan He asked, "What is that used for?" Give him money? ”

Chu Qin said: "There is a general's order, and me, do you need to mention your father?" Bring sand to the beach. ”

After speaking, he turned around and went back to the courtyard, Shangguan He pouted and complained: "Anyway, what I did was wrong." ”

After walking all morning, Gu Du was so jolted that his whole body hurt, and he was about to discuss with the captain to take a rest, when suddenly a chill arose in his heart.

Gu Du hurriedly took out Chu Qin's handwriting from his arms, tore it up and stuffed it into his mouth, untied the burden while chewing, took out the smoked chicken, swallowed the paper in his mouth with the chicken, and then shouted loudly: "Beware of ambushes!" ”

"Kill ......" shouted in all directions.

Gu Du grabbed the horizontal knife and got out of the carriage, and saw hundreds of people rushing towards them with knives, guns and sticks, Gu Du threw the horizontal knife back into the carriage again.

There are only six soldiers escorted, maybe Chu Qin can win, but Gu Du definitely can't, the best way is not to resist, he is small, he looks like a child, and maybe he has a chance to live.
