Chapter 45: Marriage

You can't wait any longer, you must not just watch Chu Qin and others die in the enemy formation.

Tang Shuo ran down the city wall, turned over the horse, and shouted loudly: "Open the door!"

"Kill..." Five thousand defenders followed Tang Shuo toward the enemy's formation. This was a big bet, either severely damaged the enemy or annihilated the entire army!

Chu Qin heard the shouts of killing in the distance and realized that it was already the moment of decisive battle. Tang Shuo did not obey his arrangements and led his troops to fight before the Imperial Spirit Master was killed.

Perhaps he was too arrogant to use only five hundred cavalry to trap the battle, but he had reached this point and could only do this.

Chu Qin controlled the soul army to rush towards the enemy spirit master, and finally a soul army hit the spirit master. After a moment of pause, Chu Qin pierced the opponent's throat with a sword!

The wolves were scattered in an instant, and the commanding wolves ran aimlessly and bit them without distinguishing themselves from each other.

Five thousand defenders rushed towards him, Tang Shuo rode his horse into the crowd, and a long spear danced, breaking up the enemy troops surrounding Gu Du and Shangguan He. The defenders rushed to the enemy's siege, and Tang Shuo rushed towards Lixia again.

Chu Qin returned, took Shangguan He, and Gu Du turned around and rushed towards Li Xia, waving a horizontal knife to chop down the blocking enemy troops. When Gu Du rushed to his side, Li Xia fell into his arms.

The spirit master died, the wolves scattered, and the soul army fled. Chu Qin hugged Shangguan He with her right hand and held a sword with her left hand, directing her soul army to collide with the enemy soldiers.

Shangguan He held the horizontal knife in his right hand, gritted his teeth and slashed hard. Every time he cut, he said to himself, "You are not a waste!"

"Kill..." The main forces of the enemy rushed over, and countless people were everywhere.

Tang Shuo rode his horse back to Chu Qin, and shouted in a panic look: "Master Chu! The main force of the enemy is here!"

Chu Qin said loudly: "There is advancement but no retreat! There is death but no life!"

Tang Shuo also knew in his heart that although the enemy's spirit master was dead, if he retreated to Guanzhong at this time, the five thousand defenders would probably lose most of the retreat.

If that were the case, even if the enemy did not have a spirit master, he would still be able to break the level with the absolute advantage in terms of numbers.

It’s better to fight to the end with one go! This is the only choice now.

Tang Shuo raised his spear and shouted loudly: "Go to me! Gather to me!"

Gathering into a group and following Chu Qin's soul army forward bravely is the only advantage.

"Kill..." The shouts of killing sounded from behind, and the smoke and dust were impatient!

When the deputy general Gu Chong saw the enemy's main force coming, he became wise in a hurry and ordered people to tie firewood and broken gun rods into bundles, tied them to the saddle with a rope, dragged them behind the horse to raise the rolling smoke and dust to confuse and shock the enemy.

It seems that the army is surging, but in fact there are less than two thousand troops.

War is a treacherous way.

More than 300 soul troops collided in the enemy formation. Although there were not many, the chaos caused was extremely considerable. Moreover, after Gu Du saved Lixia, he followed Tang Shuo to charge into the battle. The horizontal sword in his hand was worth hundreds of people to sweep him, and the ones who were invincible!

Panic spread like a plague, and the enemy was quickly defeated. Tang Shuo slowed down his pursuit so that the enemy would not see the situation clearly.

After more than five miles of pursuit, the enemy was defeated. Tang Shuo took a breath and ordered the troops to be withdrawn.

When he returned to Guanzhong, Tang Shuo immediately arranged a residence for Chu Qin and others. Chu Qin cured Shangguan He's injuries. Shangguan He cried so loudly. Li Xia followed him to help, and Gu Du went to the west room, fell on the couch, and then fell to death.

After bandaging, Chu Qin said to Lixia, "Go and rest, close the door."

"Yes." Li Xia agreed and left and closed the door.

Shangguan He was about to act coquettishly, Chu Qin bent down and hugged her, kissed her lips, and sucked her gently.

Shangguan He's face flushed in an instant, and he raised his right arm to wrap around his neck.

After a while, Chu Qin raised her head, Shangguan He asked softly with charming eyes: "Is this a reward?"

"Yeah." Chu Qin agreed and kissed her lips again.

Li Xia returned to the west room and saw that Gu Du was sleeping like he was dead, so she fed a basin of water, knelt on the couch and wiped his face, wiped his face clean. After thinking about it, he bent down, held his face and kissed his lips, and tears unconsciously slid down.

Three days later, reinforcements arrived, and the chief general of the reinforcements also encountered a postman who was expedited for 600 miles. Knowing that the military situation was urgent, he sent an order to go through urgently. After three days, he arrived at Rizhaoguan, and the enemy had retreated.

At the same time, the good news was passed back to the imperial city, and the Emperor Ling issued an edict to promote Chu Qin to the black-robed soul master, and gave him a mansion with a thousand taels of gold, a hundred silk, two carts and eight horses.

Three other boy servants were given 100 taels of gold and ten pieces of silk each. Because Shangguan He was bravely injured, he made an exception and was promoted to the White-robed Soul-controller.

Although it was not stated clearly, it was equivalent to giving a marriage. After receiving the imperial edict, Shangguan He hugged Chu Qin and cried with joy.

In mid-Lanyue, bandits in various places were cleared, and the replaced soul master arrived at Rizhaoguan, and Chu Qin and others returned to the imperial city.

Gu Du ran home, and without waiting for Jin Lan to speak, he rushed up and hugged her and kissed her lips.

Jin Lan opened her eyes wide, struggled to break free, and scolded: "Crazy!"

Gu Du looked into her eyes and said, "I almost died on the battlefield."

Jin Lan was stunned, Gu Du kissed her lips again. Jin Lan closed her eyes, stretched out her arms and hugged him back. The two maids smiled and left and closed the door.

Chu Qin immediately went to Shangguan's house to propose marriage. The two families had already been preparing to stop working and just waited for them to come back. So a month later, Chu Qin and Shangguan He became kinship and moved into the mansion given by the Linghuang.

The newlyweds were as close as a barrier, so naturally it was a holiday. But I felt sorry for Lixia. Gu Du went home to accompany Jin Lan. Lixia didn't want to disturb Chu Qin and Shangguan He, so she stayed alone in Chu Qin's residence, except for practicing soul soldiers, she burst into tears silently.

Shangguan He felt sorry for Li Xia and sent someone to call her three times, but Li Xia refused to go to Chuqin's mansion, so Shangguan He had to do it.

That afternoon, the high priest came to Lixia and said, "I have asked Chu Qin, you can be promoted to the white-robed soul master, are you willing?"

Li Xia asked, "Well, Gu Du?"

The high priest replied: "Although Gu Du is qualified, Chu Qin wants him to practice the Soul Sergeant, so she will not consider getting promoted in the short term."

Li Xia lowered her head and asked, "Can you not be promoted and continue to be a child servant?"

The high priest sighed and said, "I didn't need to ask you at first. Do you know why I came to ask you?"

Li Xia began to cry, and the high priest sighed again and said, "It's such a grievance. Forget it, just do whatever you like. If you feel cold one day and want to be a soul master, come to me."

Lixia quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, the High Priest."

The high priest sighed again, stood up and said, "I am leaving."

Li Xia hurriedly said sideways, "Greatly send the high priest."
