Chapter 118: Scared

Gu Du frowned, feeling that Li Xia was inconsistent with her words. She had to say something privately, just wait for him to come back, or it would be fine to go find him by herself? Who doesn’t know their relationship?

Besides, what does this have to do with Dongfang Xia Lan being the princess?

But in front of Dongfang Xia Lan, Gu Du didn't ask. He just looked at Li Xia. Not only did he dislike Dongfang Xia Lan, but he also did not trust her very much. At first, those good feelings that looked like Jin Lan had been wiped out in contact.

For Gu Du, Dongfang Xia Lan is a child who is used to being a family. After learning some skills, he will not know the world, the heartless, and the annoying child.

Li Xia said, "You can't finish it in just one sentence or two words."

Gu Du sat down, Li Xia poured him a cup of tea, then sat back on his couch, hugged Dongfang Xia Lan, and said to Gu Du: "The ink used to sign the contract document should be mixed with the blood of the governor. Logically speaking, the emperor's blood should be used, but our emperor is not like the Spirit Emperor. The Spirit Emperor is a great soul master, and our emperor is just an ordinary spirit master."

Gu Du understood that Li Xia wanted him to be the governor, but in this way, he would give people a clear word. To put it lightly, this is a self-respect for the army. To put it seriously, this is a deliberate rebellion.

The reason why Dongfang Xia Lan asked him to call him was that Li Xia had discussed with Dongfang Xia Lan in front of Dongfang Xia Lan. Dongfang Xia Lan must also think Li Xia was right and very supportive of Li Xia's idea.

As for Li Xia's real intention, it is nothing more than to win over Dongfang Xialan. Although Dongfang Xialan is not popular, she is the only young master to Jueling Sect. If she supports Li Xia, even if Emperor Ze feels suspicious or someone in the court complains, it is not worth worrying.

Even Lixia may be trying to find a way out for them. The so-called rabbits die and dogs cook, and birds hide their bows. He also said that once the Linghuang is killed in the future, he will retire to the mountains and forests, and the best forest is naturally the Danyuan Mountain.

Gu Du said: "In the Spirit Kingdom, the soul army is scattered and controlled by the Spirit Master. The one who really controls the soul army seems to be the Jade Dragon Bi, and it is also under the control of the high priest. If you want to mix blood, it should be the person loyal to the soul army. It has nothing to do with the level of spiritual power, right?"

Li Xia said: "I can't say this. What if it's related? There are so many soul soldiers, if the emperor makes any mistakes, then aren't we becoming eternal sinners?"

Gu Du said: "In the last selection of Lingguo, there were more than two thousand soul troops. Even the great soul master could not control so many, right?"

Li Xia frowned, and Dongfang Xia Lan said angrily: "You are really ungrateful. Sister Xia is clearly thinking about you, but you..."

"Princess." Gu Du interrupted her coldly and said, "We have experienced life and death together. There is no need for the princess to be unfair to my junior sister. Please avoid it. I have something to say to my junior sister."

Dongfang Xialan stood up and left. Li Xia whispered: "What are you doing? I finally grabbed her, why do you always give me bad things!"

Gu Du pulled her to her side and sat down, leaned into her ear and said softly: "I understand your intentions, and I know that you are for my own good. Although people do not have long-term plans, they will have immediate worries, but if they think too much, they will easily be restrained, and even give people a handle and make people feel real."

"You don't have to deliberately win over Dongfang Xia Lan. Although she is young, she is not stupid. She is not sincere. She will sooner or later become resentful. In the past, I was thinking about avenging Jin Lan and her son, but you and Jin Lan told me that no matter what, morality should not be lost. Since Ze Emperor Tianxin belongs to him, let's settle down and assist him. In life, I only want to be ashamed of my heart."

Li Xia leaned into his ear and whispered, "I am really afraid, I am afraid of being like the Ling Kingdom again."

Gu Du smiled sadly and said, "My name is not good. Even Mr. Dongfang said that the word "only" is unlucky. It will kill my parents and harm Jin Lan, causing you to burn..."

"Okay, OK." Li Xia raised her hand to cover his mouth and said, "Stop talking, I won't think about it anymore, and I won't take any more self-righteous actions. You can do whatever you want."

Gu Du nodded, and Li Xia laid on his shoulder.

Gu Du frowned slightly and asked softly: "You always do this, but you say you won't marry me. What do you want?"

Li Xia replied: "It's great. I can guard you without breaking my trust in Jin Lan."

Gu Du smiled and said, "Let's go and meet the emperor. I have asked each battalion to select the dead soldiers and prepare to sign the soul book."

Li Xia said: "Without the Jade Dragon Bi, there will be no trouble, right?"

Gu Du said: "I have thought about it carefully that the function of the Jade Dragon Bi should be the same as that of the Spiritual Wood, but it is higher than that of the Spiritual Wood. Perhaps its function is to encourage the spiritual power of the Soul Control Master. If you think, the soul master can hold the Jade Dragon Bi to control the soul army that is in Chongyang, and that thing should not be necessary."

Li Xia nodded, was silent for a moment and asked, "Why do you still call Chu Qin the Soul Lord?"

Gu Du replied: "He didn't feel sorry for me, and my senior sister has always been very good to me. Besides, without the Soul Lord, there would be no me now."

Li Xia said: "Now everyone is their own masters. I am very worried about you still thinking about your old love like this."

Gu Du said, "Don't worry, I don't owe him my life. Even if I owe him my life, I have to avenge Jin Lan and his son before I can repay it."

The two met Emperor Ze, asked for a small bottle of blood, then mixed the ink, and asked the dead soldiers selected from each battalion to sign a contract document.

However, it is not mandatory. Gu Du made the statement in public and could not sign if he didn't want to.

But no one was unwilling to do so, and more than two thousand dead soldiers signed a contract document.

Li Xia painted a pattern of a jade dragon bi based on his memory, and asked the craftsmen to use spiritual wood to carve a substitute. Whether it works or not is still valid, it needs to be verified.

Five days later, the provocateur reported that the Ling Kingdom army had reached a hundred miles away. Gu Du took a look at the hour and guessed that the Ling Kingdom army would camp thirty miles away.

As expected, the provocateur returned in the afternoon, saying that the front army of Ling Kingdom had stopped thirty miles away and began to build the camp.

Gu Du asked: "How many people are in the front army? Who is the chief general?"

The whistleblower replied: "About 30,000 people, the flag is written with the word Ju, which should be the coach who attacked Lancheng."

Gu Duwei frowned, 30,000 front troops? Ju Fazheng was the commander of the vanguard. He said, "Tell me the order, don't fight, and immediately withdraw the camp and hold on."

The messenger immediately rode his horse out of the camp.

Lixia asked, "Why don't you fight?"

Gu Du replied: "In the battle of Lancheng, Ju Fazheng was as victorious as a defeat. The Emperor of Ling hates that he will not die. This is what made him fight with me. Although he has just arrived and has unstable foothold, if he fights in the wilderness, our army will suffer higher casualties than guarding the camp. You can see, if we do not attack the camp, the Emperor of Ling will definitely let Ju Fazheng come to attack the camp. If Ju Fazheng does not die, the Emperor of Ling will never give up."
