Chapter 24: Return to the Imperial City

Xiang Chongyang was stunned and looked at Chu Qin in shock.

Chu Qin said: "In ancient books, the soul master can practice the soul servant, but the requirements for the soul servant are extremely high, and they must be able to communicate with the soul master's mind. Xian Bai and Gu Du are friends of life and death, so I want to verify the soul servant's cultivation."

Xiang Chongyang said, "But Gu Du is just a boy servant. Can he practice now?"

Chu Qin replied: "Of course not. I will keep Xian Bai first. When Gu Du's mind is strong enough, it will be verified."

After saying that, Chu Qin took out a lacquer box the size of a palm from her sleeve and placed it on the table.

Xiang Chongyang called out: "Xin Shou, bring the soul box."

"Yes." Xin Shou agreed and held the Soul Box over.

Xiang Chongyang opened the Soul Box, Chu Qin opened the small Soul Box, Xiang Chongyang picked out a wisp of soul from the Soul Box and placed it in the Soul Box. Chu Qin stretched out her right hand and hung it on the Soul Box. After a moment, the white dot on the white soul turned into a yellow dot.

Chu Qin covered the soul box, put it in her arms, stood up and said, "Goodbye."

When he returned to his residence and just entered the yard, Shangguan He walked out of the house and asked, "How is it?"

Chu Qin walked into the house and sat down before answering, "The General said that those assassins were reinforcements from the rear, and he did not know those assassins."

Shangguan He looked at him and saw that he stopped talking, and asked again: "Then?"

Chu Qin replied: "Nothing, no clue, nowhere to investigate, so it can only be put on hold for the time being."

Shangguan He frowned and said, "Does he say it is a reinforcement or a reinforcement? What is the proof?"

Chu Qin did not answer and asked, "Is Gu Du awake?"

Shangguan He replied, "I'm awake."

Chu Qin stood up and walked into the house. Gu Du wanted to hold her up. Chu Qin said, "Don't move, lie down."

Gu Du replied: "Thank you, Master,"

Chu Qin sat on the kang and said to Shangguan He: "You go back to the house, I have something to say to Gu Du."

Shangguan He looked at Chu Qin in shock, and Chu Qin said, "Go back to the house."

Shangguan He stared at Chu Qin and retreated until the curtain fell. Chu Qin repeated: "Go back to the house."

Shangguan He stomped back to the east room step by step.

Chu Qin said, "I'm going to bring my whitewashed soul. When your spiritual sense is higher, I will teach you how to practice the soul servant."

Gu Du wanted to hold up again, Chu Qin pressed his shoulder and said, "Don't move."

Gu Du said, "Thank you, I wish you, I'll ask the Soul Lord, what is the Soul Master?"

Chu Qin replied: "Simply put, it is your helper when fighting. He only obeys your orders, which is more reliable than a living guard."

Gu Du said, "Thank you, Soul Lord."

Chu Qin said, "You don't have to thank me. Whether you can practice Soul Assistant depends on your talent. Moreover, it is difficult to practice Soul Assistant. Judging from the records, no one has been able to practice Soul Assistant in the past two hundred years."

Gu Du nodded and said, "Disciple must do its best."

Chu Qin lowered her voice: "The general said that the assassin was a reinforcement from the rear, and the crossbow used by the assassin was not the Zhenbei Pass system, but Xiang Chongyang said that the assassin was sent by the general. In order to avenge the deputy general, Xian Bai was innocently affected."

Gu Du was stunned. It turned out that this was the real reason why Chu Qin asked Shangguan He to return to the house. Chu Qin didn't want Shangguan He to hear these words.

Chu Qin's voice returned to its original state: "With your current skill, it should be no problem to deal with twelve people. Why have you been hit by so many swords?"

Gu Du replied: "When I saw Xian Bai die tragically, my disciples' minds were blank, and I just wanted to kill them."

Chu Qin said: "In a dangerous situation, you should avoid being impatient and act irritable. Have you not listened carefully to what I said to you?"

Gu Du replied: "Disciple knows his mistake, and the soul master forgives his sins."

Chu Qin lowered her voice again: "It would be too worthwhile to deal with you two boy servants with twelve dead soldiers. This matter is extremely strange. Moreover, I encouraged me to send a letter to the high priest to say that this matter was Wu Renxiong targeting the Soul-Yuan Department."

Gu Du asked softly: "What does the Soul Lord want his disciples to do?"

Chu Qin's voice returned to its original state: "You are very injured. Guanzhong lacks medical treatment and medicine. I will go to the general tomorrow and ask him to send someone to take you back to the imperial city for recuperation."

Gu Du replied: "Thank you, Soul Lord."

Chu Qin lowered her voice again: "Wu Renxiong has been guarding the border for more than ten years and has made great achievements. He will never take risks for a deputy general. I will write a letter in my hand and you will hand it to the high priest."

Gu Du nodded, Chu Qin stood up and left.

After a while, Shangguan He picked up the curtain and asked, "Do you drink water?"

Gu Du agreed: "Drink, thank you senior sister."

Shangguan He poured water and said angrily: "Why are there so many etiquettes? I'm really poor and particular."

Gu Du replied with a smile: "My father taught me before that we were poor people. If we could become children's servants, we must be polite, otherwise we will be looked down upon by wealthy people."

Shangguan He smiled slightly and said, "We don't need to do this between us, come and drink water."

Shangguan He squatted down, brought the water bowl to his mouth, fed it bit by bit, and said, "I told the kitchen that they would send two smoked chickens tonight, and you can eat one by yourself."

"Yeah!" Gu Du nodded while drinking water.

The next day, Chu Qin went to find Wu Renxiong and said she wanted to send Gu Du back to the imperial city for maintenance. Wu Renxiong agreed readily and immediately sent a car and a man.

Shangguan He prepared two smoked chickens for Gu Du, secretly put them in the bag, and told him to eat them in the car so that he would not let the escort soldiers see them.

After helping Gu Du get on the car, Shangguan He said to the captain of the army: "My father is Shangguan Mingfeng, the head of the Military and Political Department, and Gu Du is my junior brother. If he makes any mistakes on the road, you don't think about it!"

The captain clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, sir, you must do your best to escort Lord Gu back to the imperial city safely."

"Yes." Shangguan He agreed with a cold face.

The escort team left, and Chu Qin said to Shangguan He: "Don't do this in the future. If you want others to do their best, you can't rely on power to suppress it."

Shangguan He asked, "What should I use? Give him money?"

Chu Qin said, "With the general's order and me, can you tell me about your father? This is an extra move."

After saying that, he turned back to the hospital, Shangguan He pouted and complained, "Anyway, nothing I did is wrong."

After walking for a whole morning, Gu Du was so bumpy that his whole body was hurt. He was about to discuss a rest with the captain, but suddenly a chill broke out in his heart.

Gu Du quickly took out Chu Qin's handbook from his arms, tore it and stuffed it into his mouth. While chewing, he untied the bag, took out the smoked chicken, swallowed the paper in his mouth with the chicken, and then shouted loudly: "Beware of ambush!"

"Kill..." The shouts of killing sounded from all directions.

Gu Du grabbed the horizontal knife and drilled out of the carriage. He saw hundreds of people rushing towards them with swords, guns and sticks. Gu Du threw the horizontal knife back into the carriage.

There were only six soldiers escorted. Maybe Chu Qin could win, but Gu Du certainly couldn't. The best way was not to resist. He was small and looked like a child, and perhaps he still had a chance to survive.
