Chapter Thirty-Eight: Returning to the Capital



At this moment, Gu Mu opened the system panel. There were more than 100 men in black. He had killed more than 90 of them. His villain value increased by 133, and his points increased by 133.

The values ​​on the system panel have changed to:

"Achievements: 100"

"Villain Value: 183"

Points: 163

Lu Xiaoyao nestled obediently in Gu Mu's arms. Although she tried to avoid it, the enemy's blood still splattered on her.

She and Gu Mu looked like two people covered in blood.

However, most of that blood belonged to other people.

"Doctor, I never expected you to be so cool when you kill someone!" Lu Xiaoyao exclaimed in a sweet, childlike voice, her eyes wide with admiration.

"If you can still move, don't hang on me." Gu Mu let go, but Lu Xiaoyao showed no intention of getting down, her two little arms still hanging on his neck.

"Awooo!" Lu Xiaoyao's cheeks puffed up in anger: "Doctor, do you have a heart?!"

She let go and sat on the ground.

Even so, her eyes were still red.

pain……

Lu Xiaoyao turned her back, tore off a piece of fabric from her clothes, tied it tightly to her shoulder to stop the bleeding, and then turned back around.

He jumped onto the car.

As someone who practices martial arts, his physical condition is better than that of the average person.

At least for now, Lu Xiaoyao and Gu Mu were sitting in the carriage, and despite grimacing in pain, they still had plenty of energy to chatter on and on.

"Doctor, is your profession very lucrative?"

"???" Gu Mu.

How many sheep and pigs do you have at home?

"???"

How many tiled houses are there?

"..." Gu Mu suddenly realized why these words sounded so familiar. Wasn't this just like when people ask you how much you earn, whether you own a house and a car, during modern blind dates?

"Lu Xiaoyao, something's wrong with you," Gu Mu said calmly.

He looked at Lu Xiaoyao's underdeveloped figure. Hmm... judging from her figure... she probably hasn't grown up yet, so she probably doesn't have any romantic thoughts.

Lu Xiaoyao actually pulled a small abacus out of his pocket.

Slender fingers patted and flicked across it.

"Doctor, look, I have a big appetite..."

"Although we're not particular about our clothes, we people in the martial arts world are always fighting and killing, so we still have to buy new ones when they're torn, like right now..."

"Then, if you get injured, you need to buy medicine, which is another expense..."

"Traveling all over the country, travel expenses are inevitable..."

I don't know what number Lu Xiaoyao finally calculated, but she immediately hugged the abacus to her chest, otherwise Gu Mu would see the result she got.

“Doctor…” Lu Xiaoyao looked at Gu Mu and gave him a well-behaved but guilty smile.

Gu Mu closed his eyes to rest.

They didn't tell Lu Xiaoyao to shut up either.

If this chatterbox doesn't talk, who knows what other trouble she might cause?

He let Lu Xiaoyao keep nagging in his ear.

After all, she was injured because of him, and Gu Mu accepted it.

The carriage traveled for two days and two nights, during which Gu Mu only encountered a few bandits and did not encounter such a large-scale assassination attempt.

After all, more than a hundred experts had died at Gu Mu's hands, so the strength of the person behind the scenes must have been greatly reduced, and they would not dare to send anyone to assassinate Gu Mu again.

As they approached the capital...

Lu Xiaoyao suddenly looked at him seriously: "Doctor, I'm going to retrieve what belongs to my master."

She took out several tubular firecrackers from her bundle and solemnly handed them to Gu Mu: "These are signal flares. If you light one, it means you want to meet up with me, and I will come to find you. If you light two, it means there is danger, and I will come to rescue you."

"I don't give it to just anyone!"

Gu Mu put away the signal flare.

He noticed that Lu Xiaoyao was still staring at him expectantly.

"Why aren't you leaving yet?" Gu Mu urged.

Lu Xiaoyao opened her mouth, giving him a "you're going too far" look, before reluctantly saying, "Don't you have anything you want to give me? What if I'm in danger? Aren't you going to come and save me?!"

"Doctor!" Lu Xiaoyao emphasized the word "doctor," stressing that saving lives is a doctor's responsibility.

"No." He's not into that stuff.

Lu Xiaoyao's face immediately turned extremely disappointed.

She frowned slightly, her little face, as white as a dumpling, looked incredibly cute: "If you don't fire a signal flare, will I be unable to find you?"

Feeling wronged and pitiful, yet so adorable.

"See you again someday!"

"..." Lu Xiaoyao.

"Goodbye." Gu Mu urged again, looking at him with a "why aren't you leaving yet?" expression.

After all, the situation in the capital was tense, and he didn't have the time to waste on a little girl.

"Well then," he said, seeing Lu Xiaoyao's longing look, taking the money pouch from his waist. "Take care of yourself. If fate allows, we'll meet again someday."

Lu Xiaoyao clutched the money bag, looking aggrieved.

Even though she got the doctor's money, she wasn't that happy.

But, Master's things...

She didn't want to get the doctor involved in any trouble.

"See you again someday!" She jumped out of the carriage, and only her voice remained in the air.

The carriage traveled all the way to the capital.

In the capital, the Prince's mansion has been surrounded.

Gu Mu had already gotten off the carriage and was standing on a rooftop not far away, looking down at everything.

But Eunuch Cheng, besieged on all sides and under immense pressure, stubbornly refused to open the gates of the Prince's mansion.

"His Highness is not here."

"Are you trying to defy the imperial decree?"

With his neck stiffened, Eunuch Cheng faced the other party's cleaver and shouted loudly.

"Eunuch Cheng, His Highness is probably not in this residence anymore, is he?" General Chen Jin, mounted on his horse, sneered, "Why don't you dare let us in for a look?"
