Chapter 73: Suspicion

Two hundred archers were dumbfounded. This is the legendary beast spirit master!

Seeing this scene, everyone, including Jin Lan, Conghai and Fang Shiyao, instantly looked awe of Gu Du and Li Xia.

Because of the battle of Rizhaoguan, the enemy army had a beast spirit master, and Gu Du and Li Xia followed Chu Qin out of the closing gate and killed the enemy's beast spirit master.

What a difficult and tragic way that was!

But Gu Du and Li Xia felt a little scared. They had never asked Chu Shuting to try to control the war horses, because the war horses were all trained. It was the first time today. I didn’t expect Chu Shuting to be able to do it!

If the enemy beast spirit master could control the war horses back then, their five hundred light cavalry would not have rushed into the enemy formation at all.

Li Xia asked Chu Shuting: "Yaya, how many war horses can you control at the same time?"

Chu Shuting shook her head and replied, "I don't know."

Gu Du understood Li Xia's meaning and said, "If you don't have much, you can control one horse to hit another."

Li Xia's heart trembled, yes, control one horse to hit another, and then repeat it continuously, at least half of the distance of eighty feet, even if the five hundred light cavalry were not completely wiped out, there would be only a few people left.

Li Xia sighed and said, "Lucky."

Gu Du nodded and replied, "Yes, luck."

With Chu Shuting's joining, this time, more than 3,000 enemies were killed and two enemy spirit masters were killed. Fifty-seven casualties were killed and three war horses and a bunch of weapons were seized.

When he returned to Zhenbei Pass, Wu Renxiong held a banquet and ordered people to throw twenty sheep outside the pass to reward the wolf pack.

Two days later, Gu Du brought people there again, but the enemy stopped digging at night.

The battle report was sent back to the imperial city. After reading it, the Emperor Ling said calmly: "Reward, Gu Du, Li Xia each bounty 500 taels. The two children's servants all bounty 100 taels. Wu Renxiong bounty 1,000 taels and five hundred sheep. He also summoned Li Xia and his servants back to the palace."

The high priest asked, "Prince, why do you want to summon Lixia and others back to the palace?"

The Spirit Emperor replied: "Beast Spirit Master should not guard the border. If there is any mistake, it will be a misfortune for the country."

The high priest asked again: "Do you summon Gu Du back to the palace together?"

The Spirit Emperor replied: "No need."

The high priest frowned and said, "Emperor, Lixia and the others and Gu Du..."

The Emperor's eyes turned cold and asked, "How are they? Do they have to be together at all times and everywhere?"

The high priest choked, thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, Gu Du made successive contributions. Should he make an exception and be promoted to Jin Lan? Jin Lan is actually qualified to be promoted."

The Spirit Emperor replied: "The person who rebels and surrenders remains to be seen."

The high priest said, "Emperor, Gu Du..."

"How about Gu Du?" The Emperor of Spirit's face darkened and he shouted: "Is it possible that if I don't know, he will rebel?"

The high priest frowned and said, "The old minister didn't mean that, but..."

"No need to say anything more." The Spirit Emperor interrupted the high priest and said, "Although Gu Du is a rare talent, if he is greedy for women, it will be of great use."

The high priest said, "Go back to the emperor, Gu Du is not greedy for women."

The Spirit Emperor said, "Why isn't it? She is polite and still obsessed with Jin Lan. I have asked, Jin Lan is born charming and charming, and has a spoiled temperament. Most of the teenagers like Gu Du like him like Jin Lan. If Jin Lan is not a person who surrenders, I am willing to become a beauty. Unfortunately, she was born as a rebel. You shouldn't have let Jin Lan join the Soul-Reigning Department at the beginning, just let Gu Du marry her."

The high priest said: "When the emperor returned to the emperor, he came to Jin Lan because of the rebels' careful work. In order to ensure his safety, the old minister reported to the late emperor..."

The Ling Emperor asked with a bad look: "Are you saying that I am not as wise as the late emperor?"

The high priest was startled and kowtowed, "The old minister is definitely not the case."

The Spirit Emperor said: "You think that with Gu Du's friendship and ability, Jin Lan will follow Gu Du with all his heart. I believe 90% of it, but there is still 10%. If she seduces Gu Du to rebel? Tell me, is there such a possibility?"

The high priest gritted his teeth. He wanted to say that it was impossible, but there was no absolute thing in this world, so he could not guarantee this for Gu Du.

Besides, the Spirit Emperor has already said this. Even if he promised this, the Spirit Emperor would not believe it, and would even be dissatisfied with him.

The Spirit Emperor said again: "Jin Lan has been rebelling for several years. She has always known that Zeguo wants to dig the boundary river, but she did not say it until Zeguo starts construction. Why is this?"

The high priest dared not speak because he could hear that the Spirit Emperor had already suspicious of Jin Lan.

The Spirit Emperor said again: "Since ancient times, heroes were sad to pass the beauty. If Gu Du was an ordinary soul master, I would turn a blind eye. But Gu Du is a rare talent. You have to be cautious in this matter. Do you understand?"

The high priest replied: "The old minister understands, but the old minister thinks that if the emperor can give his kindness and power, he will be able to serve Gu Du loyally."

The Spirit Emperor said, "Didn't I reward him? There is no need to mention Jin Lan's affairs. It will take two or three years to delay. I will raise troops to fight against rebellion. At that time, the battle will be decided and I will give them a marriage."

The high priest sighed in his heart, at least he was hopeful, and responded: "The emperor is wise."

The high priest's letter came to Zhenbeiguan before the imperial edict. After reading it, Lixia handed the letter to Gu Du.

After reading it, Gu Du suddenly slapped the letter on the table, which scared Chu Shuting quickly plunged into Jin Lan's arms.

Jin Lan asked, "What's wrong?"

Li Xia handed the letter to Jin Lan again. After reading it, Jin Lan sighed and said, "Gu Du, you must not be in trouble. This is the emperor's destiny, and it is not without hope. It's just a few more years."

Gu Du didn't say anything with a blue face, and Li Xia sighed and said, "I'll go back first, Yaya, go with the Soul Lord."

Conghai said to Fang Shiyao, "Let's go out and have a walk."

Everyone left, Jin Lan sat in Gu Du's arms, stroked his face and said softly: "Don't be angry, just wait for two more years. Besides, even if we don't get married, we will be together."

Gu Du said softly: "The Emperor of Ling not only doubts about you, but also doubts about me, so he separated you and me. He didn't even think about my outstanding military achievements..."

Jin Lan covered his mouth and said softly: "Don't say anything, Wan Mo said anything that shouldn't be said. When we return to the palace, you must not complain to others, even Wu Renxiong cannot."

Gu Du said softly: "The country of Ze is not a reckless man. Once the boundary river digs water, it is a delusion to think about a battle!"

Jin Lan pressed on his forehead and whispered: "It is reasonable for the emperor to doubt me. After all, I have not mentioned the incident of the Jiehe River before. This incident has also made me see clearly. In the future, I will not say anything. Gu Du, you must perform your duties so that we can fulfill our wishes. Did you hear it?"

Gu Du narrowed his eyes slightly, gritted his teeth and sighed, and hugged Jin Lan tightly in his arms.
