Chapter 147: Seven Soul Books

After listening to Li Xia’s story, Dongfang Xuan smiled indifferently and said softly: “That’s good. I think Emperor Ze is sincere to you, and he is handsome and has a noble status. He doesn’t feel wronged.”

Li Xia whispered: "He treated me very well, but he was a little clingy and disliked."

Dongfang Xuan said softly: "Emperor Ze cannot be compared with Gu Du. One is a royal noble who is pampered and a brave man with a tragic fate. Just treat you well."

Li Xia smiled and Dongfang Xuan asked, "Is it convenient for Gu Du to enter the palace?"

Li Xia showed hesitation on her face. Although Dongfang Xuan saved her and Gu Du, it is now a top secret for Gu Du to station troops in Lingguo, so Li Xia dared not tell Dongfang Xuan.

Dongfang Xuan looked at her face and said softly: "The Soul Lord ordered me to pass on the Soul Book to you and the two of you. Although your spiritual power is higher than Gu Du, if you are in terms of mind, you are still slightly inferior to him."

Li Xia frowned and said, "Is it okay if I write it down and I can give it to him?"

Dongfang Xuan said, "The Soul Lord's orders me to recite them in front of you and the amount you can remember depends on your ability."

Li Xia suddenly realized that the so-called biography was just to let them know the contents of the Soul Book. After all, the two countries were hostile, and neither the High Priest nor Dongfang Xuan could help them too much, and said, "I have memorized the Soul Book."

Dongfang Xuan said: "What you see is only one volume. The soul book has seven volumes, three volumes in the first part, three volumes in the next part, and one volume in the last part."

Li Xia called out: "Come."

The guards outside the hall answered: "Empress."

Li Xia said: "Six hundred miles accelerating the dictatorship of this palace, and ask the uncle to return quickly."

The door answered: "Abide by the order."

Dongfang Xuan looked at her and asked, "Did you set up a military post?"

Lixia nodded and replied, "It was already established when the boundary river was dug."

Dongfang Xuan nodded and asked again: "Gu Du stationed troops in Lingguo?"

Li Xia was stunned, and Dongfang Xuan said, "I will do this. The war has stopped and no one can afford to fight within two or three years. If it were me, I would have to make trouble for the Spirit Emperor."

Li Xia was a little embarrassed and said, "This matter is top secret and it is related to the safety of his brother. I hope Brother Dongfang will forgive me."

Dongfang Xuan smiled indifferently and said, "It's okay, it's all about the top secret, so naturally it can't be said easily. The so-called king is not secret, and the minister is not secret, and the minister is not secret, and the few things are not secret, which will cause harm."

Li Xia smiled and Dongfang Xuan said, "You go and get the Soul Box, I'll stay in the box."

Li Xia said in surprise: "No need to do this."

Dongfang Xuan said: "Although I am a ghost, I am a man after all, and I am in the harem, so I should avoid suspicion."

After pausing, Dongfang Xuan said softly again: "Emperor Ze treats you sincerely. Although you are brave and do not allow men, and you are alone in the outside world, you should not deceive others too much."

Li Xia laughed silently and said, "Brother Dongfang wait."

After receiving the edict, Gu Du immediately took Dongfang Xia Lan back to Zeguo.

Seeing Dongfang Xia Lan, Dongfang Xuan looked stunned. Dongfang Xia Lan said, "My name is Dongfang Xia Lan, not Jin Lan."

Dongfang Xuan looked at Li Xia again, and Li Xia smiled slightly. Dongfang Xuan understood that Li Xia’s marriage to the queen may have a great relationship with Dongfang Xia Lan.

Dongfang Xuan looked at Gu Du and said, "I am on the order of the Soul Lord to recite the seven soul books in front of you. How many can I remember, depending on your ability."

Li Xia prepared the pen and ink and said to Dongfang Xia Lan: "Xia Lan, help me grind the ink."

"Yeah." Dongfang Xia Lan agreed and began to grind the ink.

Dongfang Xuan started to recite, with a normal speaking speed. Li Xia wrote while listening. Although she recited the first volume she remembered first, she still wrote it down and proofread it.

Gu Du closed his eyes and understood.

After memorizing the seven volumes, Dongfang Xuan was silent. Li Xia closed her eyes and recalled. No matter how fast she wrote, she would definitely not be able to catch up with the speed of reciting. So Li Xia stopped writing it later, but just memorized it with her heart.

Gu Du was also silent, afraid of disturbing Li Xia.

Dongfang Xia Lan said, "Master, don't think about it, I've recorded it all, I said you can write it."

Li Xia opened her eyes and looked at her in surprise. Dongfang Xia Lan said, "I really remembered it. I have never forgotten it since I was a child, but I never forget it."

Li Xia showed joy on her face and said, "Tell me quickly."

Dongfang Xia Lan said slowly, and finished the remaining five volumes. Dongfang Xuan said: "It turns out that it's true. In this way, perhaps Zeguo is really the only one in the heart of heaven."

Li Xia hugged Dongfang Xia Lan in her arms, kissed her again and again on her face, and said, "Good Xia Lan, it's so good."

Dongfang Xia Lan looked at Gu Du with a smile. Gu Du looked at her and smiled, but she rolled her eyes and Gu Du withdrew his gaze awkwardly.

Dongfang Xuan stood up and said, "The career of the Soul Lord has been completed, I have said goodbye."

Lixia asked, "Where are you going?"

Dongfang Xuan replied: "I have my own place to go."

Li Xia opened her mouth but didn't say anything. She just frowned. She could not keep Dongfang Xuan, let alone make any requests from Dongfang Xuan. Everyone is dead, and reputation is even more important. She cannot do anything that would damage Dongfang Xuan's reputation.

Dongfang Xuan left, Gu Du asked Lixia softly: "How are you?"

Li Xia smiled, and Dongfang Xia Lan said angrily: "What does it have to do with you?"

Gu Du frowned and scolded: "Adults speak, children go out."

Dongfang Xia Lan said angrily: "You should go out, this is the harem!"

Gu Du sighed helplessly, and Li Xia hugged Dongfang Xia Lan again, coaxed her with a smile: "Okay~ Stop making a noise, wait until you go back, behave, let me talk to my brother."

When Gu Du returned to Huxiao Mountain, Chu Qin also brought two thousand soldiers to Lingzhen County. County Magistrate Zhao Kuo welcomed Chu Qin into the county government with a guilty look on his face.

Chu Qin didn't go to the Houya, went straight to the lobby, sat behind the case and asked, "Master Zhao County, are there bandits near Lingzhen County?"

"Well..." Zhao Kuo hesitated and looked at Wu Tong.

Wu Tong quickly said with a smile: "Reported to the priest, there is indeed a group of bandits in the two peaks to the south, and there are occasional troubles to the people."

Chu Qin looked at him and asked, "Who are you?"

Wu Tong answered with a smile: "Wu Tong is the chief clerk of Lingzhen County."

Chu Qin said, "I asked Zhao County Magistrate, why did you answer?"

Wu Tong smiled and Chu Qin looked at Zhao Kuo again and asked, "Is the magistrate Zhao's throat broken or is he not doing government affairs on weekdays and knows nothing about the matters of the county."

Zhao Kuo hurriedly said, "I am not sure about the bandits, but I am definitely not in government affairs. I hope I can observe clearly from the priests."

Chu Qin said, "I am not here to check you. I am here to check the matter of winter clothes related to Rizhao. Liangfeng Mountain is located in the south of Lingzhen County. The escort team must first pass Liangfeng Mountain to reach Lingzhen County. In this way, the bandits in Liangfeng Mountain should not be the trouble. I remember that there is a Tiger Roaring Mountain in the northwest. Are there bandits in the mountains?"
