Chapter 63
Chapter 63: Not convinced
Wu Renxiong frowned slightly, feeling very unhappy. No matter what, for Zhenbeiguan, Wu Renxiong is the master, Guan Shanyue is the guest, and the host is the guest, and the guest should at least know some etiquette!
However, Wu Renxiong was just unhappy and did not bring it out on his face.
Guan Shanyue is a yellow-robed soul master. In terms of qualifications, he is higher than Gu Du and Lixia. In terms of ability, even if he is not as good as Gu Du and Lixia, he will not be too low.
Besides, as long as he is a soul master, Wu Renxiong cannot afford to offend him, especially Guan Shanyue was extremely arrogant. After learning that Chu Qin was awarded, Guan Shanyue had quite complained, and even said that if it weren't for him guarding the border at Zhenbei Pass, he might have achieved success, not Chu Qin.
Regarding this kind of saying, Wu Renxiong just fought. After the battle was over, what if you say this, is it useful for a bird? Apart from being narrow-minded and jealous of the virtuous and capable, there is nothing else.
Gu Du's eyes turned cold and he looked at Guan Shanyue. Li Xia hurriedly said, "Thank you, General. I will listen to you in front of the army this time, and I will rely on the general to take care of each other."
Li Xia continued the conversation because she was afraid that Gu Du would be in trouble again. Before she came out, the high priest specifically told Li Xia to take good care of Gu Du and not to cause trouble for the Soul-Yuans, nor to cause trouble for herself.
From the fact that Gu Du killed the palace servants, it can be seen that Gu Du is not just as simple as young and energetic. He has been lonely and helpless for many years and has been bullied. Now he has become famous. No matter how smart or cunning people are, he will inevitably become angry because of hatred. What's more, in the eyes of the high priest, Gu Du is not smart enough and not cunning enough.
Gu Du's personality is suitable for the military camp, loyal, brave, fearless, decisive, and decisive. However, the Soul-Yuans Office is not the Military and Political Department. Moreover, even if it is the Military and Political Department, if you want to be in the palace, you must know how to be a vain and condemn, be in line with human feelings, and be aware of the current affairs.
If you can chop and slap a good knife, you will naturally be invincible, but if you insert the knife into the crack of the rock and beat it horizontally, it will break.
The reason why Li Xia looked at Gu Du was because Jin Lan had a low status. After all, Li Xia was a soul master, and no matter what occasion he spoke, he was more important than a child servant. Secondly, because Jin Lan must be Gu Du's wife, and people like Gu Du may not be able to listen to their wife.
Wu Renxiong laughed and said, "Master Li is so polite, come! Master Gu, Master Li, drink this cup together!"
Wu Renxiong didn't say anything polite, for fear that Guan Shanyue would be sarcastic. Gu Du's face was already very obvious just now. Thinking about Chu Qin's words, Gu Du drew a knife and killed his deputy general. Wu Renxiong still remembered the determination. He didn't want to cause death at the reception banquet.
After drinking a glass of wine, the maid added wine. Li Xia held the glass and said to Guan Shanyue, "Master Guan, I was ordered to come to guard the border. In the future, I will ask Master Guan to give more teachings. Master Jing Guan."
"Yes." Guan Shanyue picked up the wine glass and dipped it in her lower lip, then put it down.
Li Xia didn't care. After drinking his own glass of wine, he no longer paid attention to Guanshanyue. The etiquette was limited and he was shameless, so he didn't have to be ashamed. If he got along, he would get along well. If he got along or not, he would do his own thing.
Guan Shanyue waited for a while, and when she saw that Gu Du did not toast him, she looked at Gu Du, but unexpectedly bumped into Gu Du's sharp gaze, and her heart was unconsciously chilled.
Chu Qin is different from Gu Du. Chu Qin's eyes have always been gentle because he is noble and has a wealthy family. And few people dare to be rude to Chu Qin, so Chu Qin will not have the stare like Gu Du.
Guan Shanyue lowered her eyes. He wanted to adjust it. He was actually scared. Isn’t this too embarrassing?
But then again, this kid dares to provoke him in such a blunt way, and he should not be a mediocre person. He should try it out first.
Guan Shanyue asked, "How many soul troops have you brought with you here?"
Gu Du replied coldly, "Six hundred."
Guan Shanyue was shocked, six hundred? Three hundred per person? Isn’t that the standard for the yellow-robed soul master?
Guan Shanyue thought that these two people would definitely be more than ordinary white-robed soul masters. After all, they were Chu Qin's personal disciples, and Li Xia was a talent that the high priest valued. She originally thought that one person was 15, which was the same as the number of soul troops he brought, but she never expected that these two people would each bring 300 soul troops.
Li Xia smiled and said, "Before coming out, I will go find the high priest and want the high priest to give another 200 more. After all, after the last selection, the number of soul troops has basically been filled."
"But the high priest taught his subordinates a lesson that he was too arrogant and said that the soul master of our two men, Master Chu Qin, had only brought four hundred soul troops after he was promoted to the yellow robe. But we were now just white robes. Although we could bring them, we could not give them. We also said that if it weren't for guarding the border, we would only give them one hundred soul troops."
Guan Shanyue changed her face. Such things cannot be lie, because the Soul Army has to practice every night, and you will know the truth when you go to the schoolyard.
Wu Renxiong quickly laughed and took the words: "It turns out that a hero is a boy! Come on, let's have a drink together!"
Guan Shanyue was not grateful, stood up and said, "Since you are here to guard the border, your martial arts must be superb. Gu Du, let me try your martial arts."
Gu Du got up, Li Xia quickly stood up and said with a smile: "Master Guan, when we came, we encountered a robbery and killed on the road. Gu Du fought for a fight. I was a little tired. Please ask Master Guan for advice."
After saying that, he walked around the seat and bowed to Guan Shanyue, saying, "Please give me advice from Master Guan."
Gu Du frowned and said, "Lixia, you are not my mother, why do you make any decisions for me in everything?"
Lixia turned around and looked at him and replied, "Of course I am not your mother, but I am looking at you on the order of the high priest. If you are not convinced, you will submit a letter to ask the high priest."
Gu Du frowned even more, Guan Shanyue sneered and said, "The High Priest is really leisurely. He even has to take care of the martial arts under my school exam."
Li Xia turned around and said with a smile: "Master Guan misunderstood. This is not the high priest who wants to take care of it, but the subordinates who have to take care of it. Gu Dugang succeeded a great battle and was a woman who has a much gentler personality. Both of us came from Master Chu Qin and followed Master Chu Qin to capture the commander in Rizhao Guan. Master Guan is the same as Master Guan's subordinates who take the school exam."
Guan Shanyue widened her eyes. Li Xia said this peacefully, but in fact the implication was that she was afraid that Gu Du would kill him!
With a 'shoulder' sound, Guan Shanyue drew out the horizontal sword and pointed at Li Xia and scolded: "Okay! Then I'll take the exam for you! Draw the sword!"
Li Xia said with a smile: "In front of Master Guan, my subordinates dare not draw their swords. Master Guan asks for advice."
Gu Du sat down, thinking silence. He really couldn't do anything like Li Xia's soft knife, he should learn it. And with Guan Shanyue's petite temperament, he would definitely not be a master, so Gu Du was not worried about Li Xia's mistakes.
