Help! I just woke up and was stabbed by a big kid

"What's arranged?" Gu Yue looked at him in confusion.

"You knew which way the prince would take, so you asked Wu Yun to change his route." Gu Xu said expressionlessly, "You even knew when he would arrive at Yuning Mansion."

"You were ready to tell Qin Zhaoyue about the Pepper Garden and let him take the credit, right?"

Wufeng and Wuyun felt the low pressure in the entire cell, and they fell silent at the same time, shrank into a corner and pretended to be quails.

"...How is that possible? How could I have that ability?" Gu Yue immediately realized Gu Xu's unhappiness, and quickly stood up and reached out to hold his hand.

Gu Xu moved a little, but didn't hide in the end, allowing the rough hand to hold his hand.

"It was purely a coincidence." Gu Yue said, "I really didn't expect the prince to come to Yuning Mansion. I also told you the reason why I recognized him at that time."

He pinched Gu Xu's hand. There were many calluses on his hand. He must have suffered a lot in his childhood.

"Why did you reveal the matter of Jiaoyuan to him?" Gu Xu asked.

Gu Yue was stunned for a moment.

Those eyes stared straight at him, and there was an incomprehensible emotion in the black pupils. Gu Yue didn't know what it was, but he felt an indescribable sadness.

What are you sad about, kid?

"Isn't this a good thing for him? Otherwise, we will really be regarded as murderers." Gu Yue raised his hand to touch the child's face, which was tender. His thumb rubbed the eyelashes, and Gu Xu did not close his eyes.

"Are you unhappy? The matter was too urgent. I was wrong not to discuss it with you." Gu Yue didn't know why, but he wanted to hug him. And he did so.

"Wen Qing will target us, and so will Qin Zhaoyue." Gu Xu's voice came from his chest, "If you don't say anything, you won't be treated as a murderer in the end."

Gu Xu said: "Gu Dashi, you don't trust me."

Gu Yue touched his back.

"I trust you, but you are young. If you don't do things well, my death is a small matter, but it would be bad if you are implicated... I did this for safety." Gu Yue said, "Besides, you didn't tell me anything, so it's normal for me to panic..."

Gu Yue felt a little guilty. It was normal for the hero to have his own little secrets, but guessing was tiring.

"And the current situation is favorable to us. Isn't it? Regardless of whether Qin Zhaoyue cares about our good sales, Wen Qing will not focus on us for the time being. My acting just now was good, right?" Gu Yue said this with a little pride. He is really smart.

"The sooner we expose the matter of Jiaoyuan, the better. Otherwise, Wen Qing is a cautious person. If he destroys the evidence in advance, we will get nothing." Gu Yue lowered his voice. "If they find out about the account book, turning our house upside down would be the least of their worries. I'm afraid they will kill us with one knife like they killed Sarhan."

What? Gu Xu was confused for a second.

"The prince has a very good reputation. Once he finds out about such a big thing, he will definitely not stand idly by." Gu Yue said.

"Why do you know so much about Wen Qing and the Prince?" Gu Xu pushed him away with a cold expression.

"Uh... Wen Qing... Lord Han, it's obvious that Wen Qing did this, right? He killed people just because we broke into the pepper garden. Doesn't this show that he is cautious? I read what the prince said in the Hangdou newspaper." Gu Yue sweated, "Hasn't he done a lot of good things? The evaluation is quite high, 9.2 points."

Gu Xu stared at him.

Gu Yue's back was sweating.

"Gu Dashi." said Gu Xu.

"Yes, yes." Gu Yue didn't let go and squeezed Gu Xu's hand.

"I don't want to stand on the prince's side." Gu Xu said.

"Why?" Gu Yue was confused for a moment. Doesn't this fit the plot? "The prince is a very nice person... He will definitely be a wise ruler in the future. You will do well to follow him."

"Don't ask." Gu Xu stared at him, emphasizing each word, "I just don't want to."

Gu Yue was in a dilemma.

"It's okay... I support you. If you don't want to, then don't support him." Gu Yue smiled and touched Gu Xu's face, "Don't be so serious. If you have any ideas, tell me immediately. It won't work if you tell me later, right?"

Gu Xu lowered his head.

"But it's a bit troublesome now. Qin Zhaoyue might notice us. But luckily you have been hiding, and I am the one who is in contact with him openly. We can keep this line, but there is no need to cut it off now. Maybe it will be useful in the future." Gu Yue said, "Okay?"

"...Okay." Gu Xu replied.

"Xiao Xu is so well behaved. You can tell at a glance that he will do great things in the future." Gu Yue smiled.

He sat down on the spot, stretched out his legs, and pulled Gu Xu to sit on his legs.

"What are you doing?" Gu Xu was stunned.

"The ground is dirty. There's no place to step. Just sit on my lap." Gu Yue said.

This cell was really dirty, there was something that looked like poop in the corner, and Wu Feng and Wu Yun were standing in a crowded place without leaning against the corner. The straw was also covered in dust, and it was even impossible to turn it over. If you turned it over, you would smell fermentation.

In TV dramas and novels, the protagonist is in trouble and imprisoned, but the cell is at least clean and has a straw mat to sit on.

How are they treated?

Could it be that my cannon fodder attribute is playing a role?

"Just be patient, it shouldn't take too long before they let us out." Gu Yue hugged Gu Xu's waist to help him sit steadily, "Even if no one comes, Shi San will come to rescue us."

Shi San slipped away quietly before entering the government office. The group of people were busy with the case and no one noticed that someone was missing. Shi San, you are really good at kung fu.

Gu Xu stood with his back to him in silence, still not recovering from the shock.

Wu Feng took a breath of cold air, Master... Why is the Master's face red!!!

He closed his eyes tightly and didn't look. He quietly grabbed Wu Yun and made him turn his back to the two men.

They don’t want to die at the hands of their master!

……

Qin Zhaoyue brought limited manpower.

This time, he still left the capital privately and could not do anything in a high-profile manner. He was also prepared to be reported to the authorities by the people behind Tang Wuling and Wen Qing.

I just hope that the information provided by Gu Dashi is useful enough, otherwise, not only can he save his life, but even Qin Zhaoyue himself will be in trouble.

Judging from his performance in court...there should be a big fish waiting for him in the so-called garden this time.

He is indeed the person he had taken a fancy to early on.

Qin Zhaoyue led his men to Taiqing Temple first.

The temple master received the notification and came out to greet them personally. Qin Zhaoyue simply said the etiquette and went straight to the point, asking Gu Dashi and his friends if they had been to Taiqing Temple before and whether there were any places nearby that were reserved.

The master of the temple was not the Taoist who was the riddle-teller, but an old man with a white beard. He said that he had not seen Gu Dashi and his companions come to the temple at night, but he said that there were indeed traces of human activities nearby, and many disciples had seen large carts moving in the bamboo forest.

As he was speaking, a young Taoist priest came running in in a panic. When he saw Qin Zhaoyue, he didn't even bother to kneel down.

"Oh no! The mountain is on fire!"

Qin Zhaoyue's expression suddenly changed.
