Chapter 21: Assassin

Gu Du was worried for two days, everything was normal, nothing happened. Gu Du began to miss Jin Lan again. After a month of getting along, he left too many memories. When he was together, he didn't feel that when he left, the longing came like a tide, invading every part of his heart.

Seeing Gu Du's advancement, Shangguan He also began to work hard. Although she was here to force a marriage, Chu Qin was right. Even if she embarked on this path, she could not be Chu Qin's boy servant forever. Her identity was not allowed, and her self-esteem was also not allowed.

However, Shangguan He can only practice martial arts and cannot practice military force. She really can't do it, and even fifty soul soldiers can't move.

Chu Qin told her not to compete with Gu Du, saying that everyone has different talents and practice martial arts first. As the martial arts improves, the mental power will gradually improve.

Shangguan He asked Chu Qin: "Then my talent is to practice martial arts, right?"

Chu Qin replied: "No, your talent is to be beautiful and have a good father."

So Gu Du went to train troops alone. After training that night, he came back and left the main street and entered Fangnei Street. Two people jumped out at the same time, all wearing black clothes and covering their faces, holding horizontal swords in their hands.

The architectural layout inside the pass is the same as that in the imperial city, with square, cross-shaped main streets in the east, west, south and north, and several archways connecting the main streets.

Each yard has a number of houses with varying numbers, five to eight large houses, ten to fifteen small houses, and two rows of houses with one street.

Gu Du stood in a lacquer box of the soul army, without saying a word. The two men in black in front of him exchanged glances and raised their swords to slash at Gu Du.

The two thought Gu Du would retreat, so that the two men in black behind could get rid of Gu Du. But Gu Du did not retreat, but flashed to the left, surrounded the man in black against the courtyard wall, and then ran away.

If he didn't run, he would not be able to run. Gu Du went to train troops and then brought a lacquer box without a horizontal knife. Who would have thought that an assassin would come in from the pass and assassinate him?

This is wrong. He is just a boy servant, but he was selected just a few hundred miles away from the imperial city. How could anyone want to assassinate him? Unless Jin Lan brought someone here.

But that was impossible. First of all, Jin Lan would not bring people to kill him. Secondly, the four men in black all had men. He stayed with Shangguan He all day and spent another month with Jin Lan. He didn't have to look at whether it was a man or a woman, and he could smell it with his nose.

He had no enemies, and if he had to talk about hatred, he could only kill the deputy general at the celebration banquet. Although he was killed by Chu Qin's order, no one dared to seek revenge on Chu Qin, then he could only take the blame.

Gu Du ran very fast and threw away the four men in black in a moment. This means that these four men in black could not be skilled, so it was impossible for them to be assassins who came over the pass, and it was probably the soldiers of the garrison.

Gu Du ran back to his residence. When he heard the sound made by Gu Du was louder than usual, Chu Qin walked out and asked, "What happened?"

Gu Du gasped and replied, "Someone wants to kill his disciples. The four men in black are all men and were dumped by their disciples."

Chu Qin frowned slightly and said, "Stay rest, and bring a knife when you go out."

"Yes." Gu Du agreed, walked forward and handed the lacquer box to Chu Qin.

The next day, Chu Qin went to find Wu Renxiong. After sitting down, Chu Qin said, "General, my boy servant Gu Du was assassinated by four men in black last night. Please investigate the matter thoroughly."

Wu Renxiong was stunned and said angrily: "This is actually the case! This general must be responsible for the people who guard the city!"

Chu Qin said: "The general should not be a rebel. Gu Du did not bring a knife when he went to train, so he did not take the battle, but ran away. Those who could be thrown away by Gu Du would definitely not be able to make light skills and would not be able to cross the city wall."

Wu Renxiong frowned. In this way, it should be related to the murdered deputy general. He did not dare to seek revenge on Chu Qin, so he went to kill Gu Du. After all, Gu Du was the one who killed people directly, and Tong Shi was definitely easier to kill than the Soul Master.

Wu Renxiong said: "Don't worry, Master Chu, I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly."

Chu Qin stood up and said, "God of General, please say goodbye."

Chu Qin came to Wu Renxiong not because he could find anything, because there were no clues and no one could find them out.

Chu Qin has only one purpose. With Gu Du's current skills, as long as he wears a knife, he will be able to kill one or two of them when he meets an assassin next time. Say hello to Wu Renxiong in advance, so as not to explain it again if he dies, which is easy to cause misunderstandings.

Gu Du still went to train troops every night with a knife.

Shangguan He originally wanted to accompany Gu Du, but Chu Qin said she was burdened and would not let her go.

Shangguan He was not convinced and competed with Gu Du. He played for a quarter of an hour, which made Shangguan He so tired that he gasped, but he didn't even touch Gu Du's corner of his clothes.

Shangguan He asked Gu Du: "You are so awesome. I usually hit you, so why don't you hide?"

Gu Du replied: "You are my sister. If you want to fight, just hit it. It doesn't hurt anyway."

It was fine for five days, but Gu Du felt his heart tighter day by day. His spiritual sense was stronger than before. Although he could not see the words on the spiritual wood, Gu Du knew that this feeling of being tighter in his heart was not a good sign.

It snowed on Meiyue Sixteenth day. It started to fall just after Siyu. The snowflakes became heavier and heavier. Shangguan He was so happy that he jumped and shouted in the yard like a child.

The Imperial City is in the south and it won’t snow easily, let alone such heavy snow.

But Gu Du hid in the room and roasted the brazier. He was so cold that he shivered all over. It was cold from the inside, and the roasted hands made him feel a little hot, but his heart was still cold.

Shangguan He shouted outside: "Gu Du! Come out and play with me in the snow!"

Gu Du came out wearing a cloak. Shangguan He was holding a snowball and was about to hit him, but he found that his face was pale and his teeth were fighting. He quickly threw the snowball and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Gu Du replied in a trembling voice: "Leng, it's cold from the inside of his heart."

Shangguan He said angrily: "Why don't you say Leng?"

Then he pulled him to find Chu Qin and said, "He is so cold, don't he be sick, right?"

Chu Qin touched Gu Du's forehead and face and asked, "Do you feel dizzy?"

Gu Du replied: "Don't be dizzy."

Chu Qin asked again: "Is there any part of her body hurting?"

Gu Du replied: "No."

Chu Qin asked again: "Are you scared?"

Gu Du hesitated for a moment and replied, "Not afraid."

Chu Qin said: "It's useless to be afraid of it. People have fate. When they shouldn't die, they can't die no matter what. When they should die, they can choke you if they drink a sip of water."

Gu Du nodded and replied, "Disciple understands that what should come will definitely come. The longer it delays, the less confident it is."

Chu Qin nodded, Shangguan He frowned, grabbed Gu Du's hand and said, "Be careful."
