The Eagle Shooting Heroes: From Golden-Knife Prince Consort to Emperor Guangwu of the Great Zhou Dyn

Guo Liqing looked around. Why were there monks again?

Could they be monks from Chengtian Temple?

besides?

But why does that voice sound so familiar?

A white-robed monk, with unusual gait, appeared before Guo Liqing without anyone noticing.

Upon seeing the white-robed monk, the surrounding Mongol soldiers immediately drew their swords.

Guo Liqing looked closely and exclaimed in surprise, "Master Xuzhu!"

Guo Liqing ordered his men to put down their knives, then looked at Xuzhu and asked, "Master Xuzhu, what brings you here?"

"I've been following you all along."

"Follow me?" Guo Liqing was a little surprised. Xu Zhu's skills had really reached a superb level, and he hadn't even noticed it.

"You're following me because you're worried I'll indiscriminately kill innocent people in Western Xia?"

"Exactly."

"Understood." Guo Liqing glanced at the Western Xia princes and nobles being escorted ahead, then looked at Xuzhu and asked, "Master Xuzhu, what do you want me to do?"

"Heaven cherishes life; please, benefactor, release them!"

"Release them?" Guo Liqing smiled, just as he had expected.

Since Xu Zhu has come, he will definitely save these people.

"good!"

When Guo Liqing uttered that word, everyone around him was stunned for a second, including Xu Zhu.

Xu Zhu thought that the other party could not be persuaded so easily, and even thought of using force to "persuade" them.

But Guo Liqing agreed immediately.

Without hesitation!

Yelü Chucai looked at Guo Liqing and asked, "Marshal, are you really going to release them?"

"put!"

Torre chimed in from the side, "Uncle, there are members of the Western Xia royal family among them..."

Guo Liqing raised his hand to stop them from speaking, and then said, "Release them!"

"Anda, was this monk threatening you? Releasing him so easily could have dire consequences!"

Guo Liqing patted Torre on the shoulder and said, "It's alright! You can take a look too!"

Torre was taken aback.

Xu Zhu hadn't expected this either.

Guo Liqing said again, "Release them!"

Although the surrounding Mongol soldiers were puzzled, they still obeyed the marshal's orders.

Guo Liqing looked at Xuzhu and said, "Master Xuzhu, I know you are kind-hearted. Since you asked me to release the person, I will. But you can't just leave like that!"

"Is there anything you need me to do, benefactor?" Xu Zhu thought that Guo Liqing's quick agreement must mean he wanted to make a deal, so he would just have to satisfy him.

"Nothing special, I just want you to stay by my side and see what happens next!"

Xu Zhu was somewhat puzzled, but he still agreed, "Okay!"

The Mongol soldiers unlocked the chains of the Western Xia nobles, who then fled.

Guo Liqing didn't care at all. Instead, he looked at Xuzhu and asked, "Master Xuzhu, would you prefer to ride a horse or a sedan chair? I'll have someone arrange it."

"You can ride a horse!"

Although Xu Zhu was already 150 years old, his body was no different from that of a young man.

Guo Liqing turned around, about to call someone to bring his horse over, when suddenly his chest tightened and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Anda!"

Torre, who was closest to Guo Liqing, immediately helped him up and asked hastily, "What's wrong?"

Guo Liqing was perfectly fine just now, but suddenly he coughed up a mouthful of blood. Anyone would be worried.

Nashita held a short knife to Xuzhu's neck. Guo Liqing was fine before Nashita arrived, but he started vomiting blood as soon as Nashita came.

It must be related to him.

However, Xu Zhu didn't even look at Nashita. He simply moved around the short knife in Nashita's hand, grabbed Guo Liqing's right hand with one hand, and took his pulse with the other.

Xu Zhu probed and angrily said, "Nonsense! This is not how you use the Everlasting Spring Skill!"

Guo Liqing felt weak at that moment, but still smiled and said, "It's my problem, don't blame Master Xuzhu!"

Xu Zhu immediately pressed Guo Liqing's acupoints to stabilize his condition.

Then, he struck Guo Liqing in the chest with a palm, sending him a surge of pure internal energy.

A moment later, Guo Liqing's complexion improved slightly, but he fell into a coma.

Xu Zhu looked at the people around him and said, "Go outside the city and see if there are any wild beasts. Hunt them down and make them into food for him. If not, get some beef or venison."

"Okay!" Tore immediately took action.

Guo Liqing was escorted back to his temporary residence by the Mongol soldiers around him to rest, and he slept for a day and a night before waking up.

When Guo Liqing opened his eyes, he saw Nashita standing beside him.

"How long did I sleep?"

"One day and one night."

Seeing that Nahita looked somewhat haggard, Guo Liqing asked, "Haven't you been resting?"

"It's okay."

"You go and rest! I'm fine now."

Nahita brought over a large plate of half-cooked roast meat and said, "Eat this first!"

"What is this?"

"The wolf meat that Prince Tolui hunted for you!"

"Wolf meat?" Guo Liqing asked in surprise, "Why would he give me wolf meat?"

"It was that monk who said you need this flesh to restore your body."

Guo Liqing was taken aback. Since it was Xu Zhu who said it, there must be a reason for it.

Where is that monk?

"This humble monk is here."

The sudden sound made Guo Liqing realize that there was another person in the room.

Nahita said, "This monk has been staying by your side the whole time."

"Since you wish me to stay by your side, this humble monk will certainly comply!"

Guo Liqing stared wide-eyed at Xu Zhu with an incredulous expression. This Xu Zhu is way too honest!

Upon reflection, Guo Liqing didn't find it strange. The first twenty years of a person's life have the greatest impact.

Xu Zhu was raised to be an extremely kind person in his first twenty years, and he will not change no matter how many years pass.

Guo Liqing smiled and said, "Master Xuzhu, thank you for saving me!"

Xu Zhu walked over and said, "You are kind-hearted, so naturally you will be blessed. Even if I don't help, with your internal strength, you will recover soon."

Guo Liqing turned to look at Nashita and asked, "How's the situation outside?"

Nahita was taken aback, then shook her head and said, "I don't know, I spent the whole day in my room."

Guo Liqing smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work! Let's go outside and check the situation together!"

Suddenly, hurried footsteps came from outside.

Tolui rushed in, and before he could even see who it was, he asked, "Has Marshal Guo Jing woken up yet?"

When he entered the room, he saw Guo Liqing standing there and quickly ran over to him, saying, "An Da, you're finally awake."

"What happened?!"

Seeing Tuolei's hurried expression, Guo Liqing guessed that something must have happened.

Seeing Xu Zhu standing beside him, Tuolei suddenly turned to him and said, "It's all your fault, you monk! Yesterday you asked Guo Jing'an to release those people. But what happened? Some of them ran outside the city and joined forces with the Five Armies on the east bank of the Yellow River to launch a counterattack on the capital. The other part hid in the city, preparing to coordinate with them from within!"

Guo Liqing smiled wryly. He had expected those royal nobles to cause trouble, but he hadn't anticipated it would escalate to such a large scale!

Tolui added, "Right now, a group of Western Xia royals are leading an attack on Guanghua Gate from the inside. We must rush to their aid! Otherwise, if the Western Xia allied forces enter the city, it will surely be a bloody battle!"

Guo Liqing instead turned his gaze to Xuzhu and asked, "Master Xuzhu, I released them as you instructed, but they caused such a commotion. What should I do?"

"This..." Xu Zhu was also at a loss.

He was only thinking about saving people, but he didn't think about what to do after he saved them!

Tuolei, pulling Guo Liqing along, quickly asked, "How are your injuries?"

"It's alright!"

"Then hurry up and come with me to reinforce Guanghuamen! Forget about this monk."

Guo Liqing then looked at Xuzhu and said, "Master, how about coming with us?"
