Chapter 14: Save People

Gu Du picked up the dagger, the girl closed her eyes, raised her slender neck, and said, "Have fun, don't let me suffer anymore."

Gu Du said, "I won't kill you, I will treat your injuries and endure it."

The girl opened her eyes and Gu Du pressed the dagger into the wound.

"Ah..." the girl screamed shrillly, her whole body stiffened.

Gu Du took away the short sword, poured medicine on the wound, and then pressed it down with his hands.

The girl recovered for a while and gritted her teeth and stared at Gu Du.

Gu Du said: "I don't want to be careless of you. I'm in a hurry to follow the power, and there's nothing I can do about it."

The girl asked, "Why don't you kill me, but save me?"

Gu Du replied: "You didn't kill me either. You could have wiped my neck and ran away."

The girl stopped talking, but still glared at Gu Du viciously. After a while, the girl asked, "Have you covered enough?"

Gu Du said: "Without a strap, don't I have to cover it for a little longer?"

The girl scolded: "The wounds have been burned, why are you covering them?"

Gu Du was stunned and withdrew his hand awkwardly. The girl raised her hand and pulled her clothes up to cover her chest. She stared at Gu Du and said, "You won't kill me today. If you meet again tomorrow, I don't guarantee not to kill you."

Gu Du put the water bag at her hand, then put the short sword next to the water bag, and said, "Don't you owe me anything, I just said, you spare my life and just think I'll return it to you. If one day we meet on the battlefield, we will have our destiny."

After saying that, Gu Du stood up, turned around and left.

"Gu Du!" the girl called him.

Gu Du stopped and turned around, and the girl said, "My name is Jin Lan."

Gu Du replied: "I have recorded it, I will see you again if you are destined to be there."

Gu Du returned to the camp and first went to the tent to listen. When he heard Shangguan He's slight breathing, he lay down and fell asleep.

When I woke up, it was dawn. As soon as I sat up, I heard Shangguan He ask, "Gu Du, is the water bag?"

Gu Du replied: "Maybe I've dropped out."

Shangguan He frowned and looked at him, asking, "Why are you still carrying a water bag when you go there?"

Gu Du replied: "Wash your hands."

Shangguan He laughed and said, "Look, I'll forget the water bag after washing your hands?"

Gu Du smiled and replied, "You're sleepy, so hurry to come back to bed."

Shangguan He said, "Get up quickly, you're about to start talking."

Five days later, the army arrived at Zhenbei Pass. Guanzhong was already in chaos, with broken arrows and halberds everywhere, and wounded soldiers.

Shangguan He was panicked and grabbed Gu Du's hand desperately, and asked in a trembling voice: "Chu Qin? Where is Chu Qin? Do you see Chu Qin?"

Gu Du said, "Don't be anxious. The gate is not broken. The Soul Lord will not have any trouble. I'll go and ask."

Shangguan He nodded, Gu Du ran to ask about the person, and after returning, he said, "Senior Sister, the Soul Lord is fine, let's go find the Soul Lord now."

Gu Du led the horse and the cart, and asked people all the way to find Chu Qin's courtyard. Shangguan He couldn't wait to rush in.

Gu Du didn't have time to tie up his horse to get things, so he was afraid that he would find the wrong place, so he hurriedly chased him in.

When he chased in, he saw Shangguan He pounced on Chu Qin's arms, hugging Chu Qin tightly and crying loudly.

Chu Qin looked at Gu Du with an awkward expression, and Gu Du turned around and walked away silently.

Gu Du went outside the yard to tie the horses, then rushed into the yard, and a soldier ran over, wearing armor and carrying a horizontal knife. Gu Du quickly flashed to the side, but the soldier clasped his fists and said, "Sir, can Master Chu be there?"

Gu Du looked around and realized that he was the 'adult' and replied: "Here, go in... no, wait for a moment, I'll inform you."

The military soldier said, "Please tell Master Chu, the general asks Master Chu to go to the conference hall to discuss matters."

Gu Du replied: "I understand."

The military soldier said, "The villain took his leave."

The military soldier took a step back and turned around and ran away. Gu Du felt excited. He was also an adult...

After a while of admiration, Gu Du quickly entered the courtyard, lowered his head and said, "Soul Lord, if there are military soldiers, the general asks you to go to the conference hall to discuss matters."

Chu Qin gently pushed Shangguan He away and walked towards the courtyard gate. Gu Du made way. Chu Qin stopped beside Gu Du and said, "The house is small, you can live in the west room with Shangguan He."

Gu Du replied: "Yes."

Chu Qin left, Gu Du continued to make money, but there were not many things, so he quickly finished making money, put his bedding in the west room and put Shangguan He's things in the east room.

Shangguan He asked with a red face: "What are you doing? The Soul Lord said, let us live in the west room."

Gu Du said, "I don't want to sleep on the ground. You'd better make do with the Soul Lord. Anyway, the kang is so big that two people can sleep. Can you?"

Shangguan He blushed and smiled, and Gu Du came out to find a broom to sweep the yard.

Shangguan He stood at the door and pouted, and after a while, he said, "Gu Du, I and the Soul Lord..."

Shangguan He stopped, not knowing how to make the wording appropriate.

Gu Du said, "Don't worry, senior sister, I'm very strict and I will never talk too much. Besides, the Soul Lord is so beautiful and capable, and he will like it even a woman."

Shangguan He quickly explained: "It's not what you think. I have known him for a long time. My father even came to his house to marry him, but... he thought I was ignorant and didn't want to marry me, so I came to be a child servant for him."

"Oh!" Gu Du said in surprise: "That's really wronged you."

Shangguan He said a little angrily: "That's it! Am I that ignorant?"

Gu Du replied: "I don't think so, but you are quite stingy. You kicked me for several days because of the stuttering and mouth."

Shangguan He was stunned, then smiled and said, "Hate, be careful I'll kick you again."

In the conference hall, Wu Renxiong, the general of Zhenbei Pass, was furious. This time the mob swept across, which was even more fierce than the one five years ago and had more people.

The defenders in the pass fought for five days and nights before they could almost defend the pass. You Tong, the yellow-robed soul master who was stationed in the pass, was killed and the three hundred soul troops were exhausted. If Chu Qin and Cha Xiu had not arrived in time, Zhenbei Pass would have been in danger.

After the people arrived, Wu Renxiong said, "Everyone, although the rebels have retreated thirty miles, they have not retreated. Moreover, our defenders have suffered heavy casualties. If they are allowed to retreat calmly, they will make a comeback next spring. This general wants to lead troops to attack and defeat him in one fell swoop. This will not only avenge our defenders, but also damage our vitality, so that we can have enough time to recuperate. Do you have any objections?"

The eight generals stood up and clasped their fists together, saying in unison: "Please fight last general!"

Wu Renxiong looked at Chu Qin. This was not just a battle between living people. If the soul master did not cooperate, this battle would not be fought at all.

Chu Qin stood up and said, "Since you arrive in front of the army, you should obey the general's orders. What the general said is very true. Don't give the rebels a chance to breathe, and you must defeat them in one fell swoop."
