Chapter 34: Living

Gu Du took back the token, stopped talking, and began to train troops.

The next night, Gu Du handed the token to Lixia again and said, "One person is one day, so fair."

Li Xia took the token and started practicing.

After the exercise, the two of them walked back and were about to turn to the street. Li Xia suddenly grabbed Gu Du and said softly: "Give me the Soul Box."

Gu Du was stunned, then handed the Soul Box to her and asked softly: "What do you feel?"

Li Xia replied softly: "There are people on both sides of the fang road."

The scene of Xian Bai being shot to death flashed through Gu Du's mind, and he said softly: "You take a detour back."

Li Xia whispered: "I'll help you."

Gu Du whispered: "You can't do it, I have to be distracted to take care of you."

Li Xia whispered: "I have a soul army, so you don't need to take care of me."

Gu Du was stunned, thought for a while before whispering: "Let's go."

Li Xia said softly again: "Stay calm, try to catch a living this time."

Gu Du nodded, and the two turned into the street, and a chill suddenly rose in Gu Du's heart.

After walking for more than thirty steps, the sound of breaking the wind suddenly rose. Gu Du suddenly threw Li Xia to one side. Li Xia was unprepared and took off his soul box and fell to the ground.

There were six crossbow arrows inserted on the ground, and the assassin did not jump out. Gu Du pulled Lixia and stuck it to the wall on one side, blocked Lixia with his body, and drew out the horizontal knife.

Three crossbow arrows shot towards Gu Du again. Gu Du suddenly swung his knife and swept away the two shots that were shot towards his chest. Another one was rubbed against his legs and shot on Li Xia's left leg.

"Ah..." Li Xia screamed and grabbed Gu Du's shoulder, then slid down.

Six men in black jumped out, and six crossbows pointed at Gu Du. Gu Du tightly held the horizontal knife and watched the six men in black slowly approach him. This was to kill with one blow. The closer the distance, the less likely it was to block or dodge.

More than a dozen gray balls flew out of the soul box and suddenly penetrated the bodies of six men in black. Because of the momentary tension, six crossbows fired at the same time, but they lost their correct heads. The crossbow arrows shot out in scattered. Gu Du subconsciously waved his knife, but hit nothing.

Gu Du rushed up, killed five people like chopping melons and vegetables, leaving a living mouth, knocking him to the ground with the top of the knife handle, then ran back and squatted down, looking at Li Xia and asked, "How are you?"

Li Xia cried and said, "What else can it be? It hurts! Woo..."

Gu Du looked back and saw that the soul box was still open, and asked, "Have the soul army been put into the box?"

Li Xia nodded sobbingly, Gu Du ran over and closed the Soul Box, then took it back and put it next to Li Xia, and said, "Have it over and wait for the night patrol soldiers to come."

"Yeah." Li Xia nodded crying.

After a while, the night patrol soldiers ran over, Gu Du pointed to the assassin who was knocked out and said, "Help me carry him to Master Chu."

The captain frowned and said, "Sir, you should carry it to report to the general."

Gu Du said: "I don't really understand the rules in the military. If you are willing to take responsibility, you can do whatever you want."

The captain was stunned and immediately ordered: "Come on the assassin and follow this lord."

Gu Du said again: "Help lift my junior sister."

Without waiting for the captain to answer, Li Xia glared at Gu Du and scolded: "No one is allowed to touch me!"

Gu Du could only squat down and said with his back to her, "I'll carry you."

Li Xia lay on his back and said, "Give me the soul box."

Gu Du handed her the Soul Box, then stood up and said in his heart, thanking Hu Xi, who asked him to fetch water to practice strength at the beginning, otherwise he would not be able to recite Li Xia even if he was thin.

When he returned to his residence, Chu Qin asked Gu Du to find a military doctor, and then asked the soldiers to carry the assassin to the General's Mansion.

Wu Renxiong was extremely angry. The high priest had just left and had an assassination incident. What does this mean? Why do they go every time to Gu Du? What is special about Gu Du?

Moreover, this time he also injured the Tong Shi, the high priest, who valued the most. If he could not give another explanation, even if the Soul-Secretarius would not do anything to him, his future would inevitably be seriously affected!

Fortunately, I caught the living this time.

Wu Renxiong directly ordered people to carry the assassin to the torture room, tied it to the torture instrument, and ordered people to splash the assassin to wake up with cold water.

"Let's go." Chu Qin blocked the soldier, stepped forward and pinched the assassin's mouth and checked it, then walked back to Wu Renxiong and said, "Okay, there is no poison in his mouth."

When the assassin was awakened, Wu Renxiong asked sternly: "Who are you, why did you assassinate Gu Du? Who is instructed to attract him quickly to avoid the pain of flesh and blood!"

The assassin lowered his eyes and was silent. Wu Renxiong said angrily: "Call me!"

Gu Du changed the room with Shangguan He. Shangguan He specifically stated that this was only temporary. As long as Li Xia's leg injury healed, he had to change it back.

Gu Du said softly: "Senior sister, don't worry, I definitely won't get in your way."

Shangguan He gave him a blank look and said angrily: "I know I'm so tired, go boil water and make a pot of tea for us."

The assassin was tortured for a whole night before he was admitted to confession, but the mastermind who confessed was not Xiang Chongyang, but another white-robed soul master, Zheng Chu.

The confession is so simple that it is completely unreliable: it was instructed by Master Xing Chu to do it. I don’t know why he wanted to kill Gu Du, so you can ask him.

But no matter whether it is trustworthy or not, the assassin confessed after all. Even if Wu Renxiong had an explanation, it can be said that this is an internal problem of the Soul-Yuan Department and it has nothing to do with him.

Chu Qin took the soldiers to find Xing Chu, but Xing Chu certainly refused to admit it and shouted that he wanted to add a crime, so he had no choice but to worry about it.

Chu Qin said nothing, neither persuading nor explaining, and took his soul box, and asked the soldiers to take him and his two children's servants to the torture room, and asked the assassin to confront the three of them.

But the assassin did not confront Xing Chu at all. No matter what questions Xing Chu asked, the assassin only answered the same sentence: "Master Xing, just admit it."

Chu Qin asked the soldiers to take the Criminal Cuo and two boy servants away and detain them, and then asked the executioners to go out. He and Wu Renxiong were the only ones left in the torture room.

Chu Qin said to the assassin: "Don't think that biting a person can get things done just by coming out. This is called insufficient evidence."

The assassin said, "It was his command."

Chu Qin said: "You are so unafraid of life and death, you must have no family to be involved. Are you a rebel?"

The assassin did not speak, Chu Qin said again: "I know what you want to do? As a soldier, you assassinate Tong Shi in Zhenbei Pass to make General Wu bear the consequences. After all, he is General Wu, and no matter what, General Wu has to give an explanation to the Soul-Yushi Department."

The assassin lowered his eyes and said without saying a word. Chu Qin said again: "Then let me guess... There were five soul masters here this time, and each soul master brought two to four boy servants. You only killed Gu Du, which should not be targeting me, but the mastermind behind you hate Gu Du, so he wanted to let him die."
