Chapter 73: Suspicious

Two hundred archers were dumbfounded, this is the legendary beast spirit master!

Seeing this scene, everyone, including Jin Lan, Conghai and Fang Shiyao, instantly respected Gu Du and Lixia.

Because of the battle of Rizhao Pass, the enemy army had a beast spirit master, and Gu Du and Lixia followed Chu Qin to rush out of the gate and killed the enemy's beast spirit master.

What a hardship and tragedy!

And Gu Du and Lixia were afraid for a while, they had never let Chu Shuting try to control the war horses, because the war horses were all trained, today was the first time, I didn't expect Chu Shuting to really do it!

If the enemy beast spirit master could control the war horse, then their five hundred light horsemen would not be able to rush into the enemy formation at all.

Lixia asked Chu Shuting: "Yaya, how many war horses can you control at the same time?" ”

Chu Shuting shook her head and replied, "I don't know." ”

Gu Du understood what Li Xia meant, and said, "It's not much, you can control one horse to hit another horse." ”

Li Xia's heart trembled, yes, control one horse to hit another, and then keep repeating, the distance of eighty zhang can at least knock over more than half, even if the five hundred light horsemen are not completely annihilated, there are not a few people left.

Rexia let out a sigh of relief and said, "Luck." ”

Gu Du nodded and replied, "Yes, it's a fluke." ”

With the addition of Chu Shuting, this night attack killed more than 3,000 enemies, and also killed two enemy spirit masters, with 57 casualties on their own side, three war horses, and a bunch of weapons.

Back at Zhenbei Pass, Wu Renxiong held a banquet and ordered people to throw twenty sheep outside the pass to reward the wolves.

Two days later, Gu Du took people to go again, but the enemy army stopped digging at night.

The battle report was sent back to the imperial city, and after Emperor Ling read it, he said flatly: "Reward, Gu Du and Lixia each have a reward of five hundred taels, and the children's servants of the two are each rewarded with one hundred taels, Wu Renxiong has a reward of one thousand taels, and five hundred sheep, and Lixia and his children are summoned back to the palace." ”

The high priest asked, "Your Majesty, why did you summon Li Xia and the others back to the palace?" ”

The Spirit Emperor replied: "The Beast Spirit Master should not be on the border, in case there is any mistake, it will be a misfortune for the country." ”

The high priest asked again, "Do you want to summon Gu Du back to the palace with you?" ”

The Spirit Emperor replied, "No need. ”

The high priest frowned and said, "Your Majesty, Lixia and Gu Du ......"

The Spirit Emperor's eyes were cold and he asked, "How are they?" Do you have to be together all the time? ”

The high priest choked, thought for a while, and said, "Your Majesty, Gu Du has made meritorious contributions one after another, should he make an exception and promote Jin Lan?" Jin Lan is actually qualified for promotion. ”

The Spirit Emperor replied, "Those who have rebelled remain to be seen. ”

The high priest said, "Your Majesty, Gu Du ......"

"How about Gu Du?" The Spirit Emperor's face sank, and he reprimanded: "If I don't allow it, he will rebel?" ”

The high priest frowned and said, "That's not what the old minister meant, it's just ......"

"No more talk." The Spirit Emperor interrupted the high priest and said, "Although Gu Du is a rare talent, if he is greedy for women, he will be embarrassed and useful. ”

The high priest said: "Back to the emperor, Gu Du is not greedy for women. ”

The Spirit Emperor said, "Why not? Obviously there is Lixia by his side, but he is still obsessed with Jin Lan, I have asked, Jin Lan was born charming and moving, and has a delicate temperament, most conceited and talented teenagers like Gu Du like Jin Lan like women, if Jin Lan is not a rebel, I am willing to be an adult, but unfortunately she was born a rebel, you should not have let Jin Lan join the Imperial Soul Division in the first place, only let Gu Du marry her. ”

The high priest said: "Back to the emperor, at that time, Jin Lan was found because of the rebels' meticulous work, and in order to ensure his safety, the old minister played the first emperor ......."

The Spirit Emperor asked with an unkind look in his eyes, "Are you saying that I am not as virtuous as the First Emperor?" ”

The high priest was taken aback, and hurriedly kowtowed: "The old minister definitely didn't mean that. ”

The Spirit Emperor said: "Do you think that with Gu Du's affection and ability, Jin Lan will follow Gu Du with all his heart, and I also believe in ninety percent, but there is still one percent, if she seduces Gu Du to rebel?" You tell me, is this possible? ”

The high priest gritted his teeth, he wanted to say that it was impossible, but there was no such thing as an absolute thing in this world, so he couldn't play this guarantee for Gu Du.

Besides, the Spirit Emperor has already said so, if he is playing this guarantee, the Spirit Emperor will not believe it, and will even be dissatisfied with him.

Emperor Ling said again: "Jin Lan has rebelled for several years, and she has always known that Zeguo wants to dig the boundary river, but she didn't say it until Zeguo started construction, why is this? ”

The high priest didn't dare to speak, because he could hear that the Spirit Emperor was already suspicious of Jin Lan.

The Spirit Emperor said again: "Since ancient times, heroes have been sad to pass the beauty pass, if Gu Du is an ordinary soul master, I will turn a blind eye, but Gu Du is a rare talent, this matter has to be cautious, do you understand?" ”

The high priest replied: "The old minister understands, but the old minister thinks that if the emperor can give both grace and might, he will be able to make Gu Du loyal to his life." ”

The Spirit Emperor said, "Didn't I reward him? There is no need to mention Jin Lan's matter, if it is delayed for two or three years, I will raise troops to rebel, and then the battle will be decided, and I will give them the marriage again. ”

The high priest sighed in his heart, and at best he could be considered hopeful, and responded: "The emperor is sage." ”

The high priest's letter arrived at Zhenbei Pass before the holy decree, and after reading it, Lixia handed the letter to Gu Du.

After Gu Du finished reading it, he suddenly slapped the letter on the table, so frightened that Chu Shuting hurriedly plunged into Jin Lan's arms.

Jin Lan asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Li Xia handed the letter to Jin Lan again, Jin Lan sighed after reading it, and said: "Gu Du, you must not make a mistake, this is the emperor's order, and it is not hopeless, it is nothing more than waiting for a few more years." ”

Gu Dutie blushed and didn't speak, and Li Xia also sighed and said, "I'll go back first, Yaya, and go with the soul master." ”

Conghai said to Fang Shiyao: "Let's go, let's go out for a walk." ”

Everyone left, Jin Lan sat in Gu Du's arms, stroked his face and said softly: "Don't be angry, just wait for two more years, besides, even if we don't get married, we are still together." ”

Gu Du said softly: "The Spirit Emperor is not only suspicious of you, but also suspicious of me, so he separated you and me, and he didn't even think of my outstanding achievements......

Jin Lan covered his mouth and said softly, "Don't say it, don't say anything that shouldn't be said." When we return to the palace, you must not complain anything to anyone, not even Takehito. ”

Gu Du said softly: "Zeguo is not a reckless straw bag, once the boundary river is diverted, it is wishful thinking to fight!" ”

Jin Lan pressed his forehead and said softly: "It is reasonable for the emperor to be suspicious of me, after all, I didn't mention the matter of Jiehe before. This incident also made me see clearly, and after that, I didn't say anything. Gu Du, you must fulfill your duties, so that we can fulfill our wishes. Did you hear that? ”

Gu Duwei squinted his eyes, gritted his teeth and sighed, and hugged Jin Lan tightly in his arms.
