Chapter 29: Bicycle Asks the Side

Jin Lan asked Gu Du: "You really don't hate them anymore?" ”

Gu Du replied in a low voice: "How can you not hate?" I want to cut them with a thousand cuts! But what's the point of me killing them? It doesn't change the fact that I was lonely back then. And keep them, everyone will say that I care about Lord Gu's benevolence, regardless of previous suspicions, and at the same time I have found you three coolies, you can call them as you like. ”

Jin Lan looked at him with admiration, feeling the hot gaze, Gu Du turned his face to look at her, Jin Lan quickly turned his gaze away, and pointed to the street stall in a panic and said, "I want that clay figure." ”

After staying with Jin Lan for two days, Gu Du returned to the palace, met the high priest, and reported: "The disciple came back to deliver the letter on the order of the soul master Chu Qin, but he encountered bandits on the way, and the disciple ate the letter of the soul master. ”

The high priest said, "Speak in detail." ”

Gu Du told him what happened in Zhenbei Pass and what happened to him about the bandits, and Li Xia stood beside him, looking at him all the time, sometimes shocked and sometimes worried as he told the story.

The high priest asked, "What is written in Chu Qin's letter?" ”

Gu Du replied: "The disciple didn't dare to read the letter, I don't know what is written on it. ”

The high priest nodded, and then asked, "Then what did Chu Qin say to you before you came back?" ”

Gu Du hesitated for a moment, what Chu Qin told him, can he tell the high priest? Speaking to different people, there should be different wording, if he told the high priest what Chu Qin told him, would it cause unnecessary trouble?

The high priest asked, "What are you thinking?" ”

Gu Du replied: "The disciple is thinking, the soul master talks to the disciple very casually, and the disciple is the person concerned, but how the soul master reports this matter to the high priest, the disciple does not know, and he does not dare to speculate without authorization, so the disciple does not dare to relay what the soul master said to the disciple to the high priest, for fear of making a mistake." ”

The high priest smiled and said, "No wonder Chu Qin has to ask you to be a child waiter, you are indeed different. ”

Gu Du lowered his head, and the high priest said again: "There was an assassin in the pass, who killed the boy waiter, and the assassin turned out to be a soldier in the rear reinforcements, this matter is very important, it seems that this seat is going to Zhenbei Pass, Gu Du, are your injuries healed?" ”

Gu Duying said: "The disciple is fine, I am willing to return to Zhenbei Pass with the high priest." ”

The high priest said, "Okay, go and pack up and leave tomorrow morning." ”

"Yes." Gu Du agreed, and said: "High priest, the disciple has a request, after leaving the city tomorrow, can you let the disciple go home." ”

The high priest asked, "Don't you have no family?" ”

Gu Du replied: "This time I escaped from the bandit camp, thanks to the help of a woman, her name is Jin Lan, one year younger than the disciple, and she is also an orphan with no father and mother. ”

Lixia's face changed, frowning slightly, pursing her lips a little aggrieved.

The high priest said: "I see, the righteousness of the same hatred, it should be, but the big thing is important, you don't have to go back by yourself, this seat will send someone to inform her, and you originally said that you have no family, so that's it, now you have a family again, this seat should send someone to bring her into the inner city to settle, you don't have to worry about this matter, this seat will arrange it." ”

Gu Du bowed and responded, "Thank you, High Priest, the disciple is leaving." ”

Li Xia pouted and watched Gu Du leave, and the high priest smiled knowingly and called, "Li Xia." ”

Li Xia hurriedly bowed down and responded, "The disciple is here." ”

The high priest said, "Pack up, and go to Zhenbei Pass with this seat tomorrow." ”

Li Xia was overjoyed, and hurriedly responded: "Yes." ”

Leaving the next day, Gu Du thought it would be a horse team that hugged each other, but the high priest took a carriage, and it was his eldest disciple Dongfang Xuan who drove the carriage, and Li Xia rode behind the carriage, and there was an empty horse next to him.

Gu Du saluted in front of the car and said, "High priest, forgive the disciple for talking too much, I am afraid that there will be bandits on the road." ”

The high priest replied in the chariot, "Don't be afraid, get on your horse." ”

This time was different from the march, the high priest walked during the day and did not leave at night, and if he caught up, he stayed at the inn, and if he couldn't catch up, he stayed at the cart shop.

The high priest's life and daily life are all in charge of Dongfang Xuan, Li Xia basically has nothing to do, so he serves Gu Du, which makes Gu Du very unaccustomed, and tells her: "Senior Sister Li, you and I are both children's servants, how can there be any reason for you to serve me, you are like this, which makes me feel extremely unhappy." ”

Lixia replied with a smile in his eyes: "You are my savior, and I should do everything for you." ”

On the third day of the trip, after crossing the border of Linshan County, more than a dozen people poured out in front of them, holding machetes and firewood knives in their hands, and the first person said loudly: "Leave your belongings and spare your lives!" ”

Gu Du pressed the handle of the knife with his hand, and was about to urge the horse to step forward, but he heard the high priest say in the car: "Get out of the way, don't block the way." ”

The dozen or so people responded and divided into two groups and stood on both sides of the road.

Gu Du rode by, looked at the bandits on the right in amazement, and found that they were all dull-eyed, like sleepwalking, and couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, the high priest was so powerful!

After another day, he met another group of bandits, and it was the high priest who said a word, and all the bandits gave way to both sides of the road.

Dongfang Xuan said: "Soul Master, there are more bandits than before. ”

The chief priest sighed and said, "After years of hard fighting, labor, and money, most of them are also poor people, and they must find a way to live. ”

Dongfang Xuan said: "Forcible seizure, cut off the path of others' lives, they want to live, and others must live." ”

The high priest said, "If you meet again, you can do it yourself." ”

Dongfang Xuan responded: "Yes." ”

After two more days, he encountered a group of bandits blocking the way, Dongfang Xuan waved his hand, and more than a dozen people flew out at the same time.

Gu Du rode a horse and followed the cart, and when he saw the bandits who fell to the ground, their eyes were wide open, and their seven orifices were bleeding.

The high priest said, "Your murderous intent is still so heavy. ”

Dongfang Xuan replied: "If you go outside, you must first settle inside, the rebels are already rampant, in order to protect the territory, the people have exhausted everything, and these people have done evil, which makes the already difficult situation even more embarrassing, and if they have no food to live, they can join the army to serve, and they don't have to rob others, and the disciples do this, which is no different from killing the enemy, and they are also loyal to the country." ”

The High Priest sighed and said, "Stopping a war with a war is never a good law, and besides, the Soul Master should not be too murderous, otherwise it will be easy to contaminate the Soul Army and cause changes." ”

Dongfang Xuan responded: "Yes, the disciple knows his mistake. ”

Gu Du's heart moved, what the high priest said was extremely true, the soul master and the soul army have the same mind, if the soul master is murderous, then the soul army must also be murderous, the soul army is not a living person, who knows what will happen to them.

After two more days, he entered Zhenbei Pass, and the high priest went directly to the General's Mansion.

Hearing that the High Priest had arrived, all the Soul Masters rushed to pay their respects one after another.
