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

"Their target is not me, they won't hurt me." Gu Xu said.

"That's also very dangerous--" Gu Yue was still angry, but reason slowly returned to his mind.

Safe for the time being, Gu Yue's broken brain started working again.

"...Are they coming for me?" He reacted immediately.

"Yeah." Gu Xu looked a little heavy.

He still didn't think it through at the time.

Or perhaps Gu Xu knew clearly how dangerous it would be to push Gu Dashi out as a target, but at the time he was full of doubts about this person and was also a bit tentative, so he simply ignored the most important thing.

...a little chagrined, but not much.

"Indeed, if you kill me, you won't be controlled by me, and you won't have anything to do with King Yin's mess." Gu Yue's face was ugly, "Of course...if I die, King Yin and his ilk will be able to directly control a child like you who looks so useless. Then..."

Gu Yue's heart fell to the bottom.

The relationship between the father and son that was displayed to the outside world was dominated by Gu Xu, and Gu Yue understood this.

His arm felt light, and Gu Xu lifted it up. This arm had been injured since he came to Beiqin, but fortunately the wound was shallow, with only a few drops of blood. Gu Xu tore off a circle of his sleeve to bandage it.

"What should we do now?" Gu Yue was still a little confused.

He was not good at dealing with this kind of life-threatening escape. He was unable to come up with any plan when he was assassinated just now, but fortunately he did not fall behind.

Now thinking about it, Gu Xu's decision to pull him away immediately was the right one.

They didn't know how many people were on the other side, but they only had five capable fighters. Luo Dao stood aside and watched, and Gu Xu was firmly protected by Gu Yue and couldn't move his hands and feet. Shi San and his men would always be exhausted. If they stayed where they were and waited for the assassins to completely surround them, the situation would become even more serious.

Now that they are gone, I think Wu Yan and the others should be safe.

Gu Yue thought again of the black-clad assassins who had their throats and stomachs cut open and died in front of him, and suddenly felt nauseous.

His face was a little pale.

I have read a lot of criminal investigation novels, but the descriptions in words are always not as strong as the real scenes. There was still blood splattered on Gu Xu's face, and Gu Yue took out a handkerchief to help him wipe it off. By the way, he checked the male protagonist from head to toe. As expected of the protagonist, there was not even a bloody wound on his body.

"This should be deep inside Kiriyama. Let's go along this road and see if there are any clues to treasure nearby."

Gu Xu carefully observed his expression before speaking.

This person seemed frightened by what had just happened.

Hasn't he seen this kind of scene?

Holding her hand soothingly, Gu Yue's expression improved a little: "Still looking for treasure? We are being hunted..."

What happens after he returns? Can his fried chicken shop still be successful?

"If they fail this time, they will retreat." Gu Xu pulled him forward, unwilling to stay where he was. "These people should be sent by Ying Jian's family."

"Why?" Gu Yue was temporarily unable to comprehend. "Ying Jian is already beside us, why do we need to send more assassins?"

"I'm afraid it's a temporary decision."

They walked side by side in the valley.

This is a gently rising slope with a clear stream on one side, the stream water washing the round pebbles.

Gu Yue's wildly beating heart finally calmed down.

He is not a very courageous man.

...He is destined to be a cannon fodder. He is still destined to be a cannon fodder.

Because he was blocking the way for these important villains to win over the protagonist, these people could kill him immediately if they wanted to. Shi San was easily held back by the killers and could not get reinforcements. If it weren't for Gu Xu and Wumen, he would have probably returned to the modern era by now.

So dangerous...

The trees on both sides of the mountain walls gradually became denser, and some shrubs grew in the cracks of the rocks.

"It seems that Ying Jian and the man called Luo Dao do not agree with the family behind them." Gu Yue was finally able to analyze some things. "Kill me and then take you home immediately? Aren't they afraid that you will rebel?"

"It will be Ying Jian who takes me back, and those killers will not expose the relationship between them." Gu Xu said.

"I heard Ying Jian shout something." Gu Yue recalled, but he subconsciously forgot the traumatic scene, and everything he had just seen became blurred.

"I didn't see it." Gu Xu said.

Without a rearview mirror, how could they know that Ying Jian was trying to block the arrow for them?

"Ah, should we contact them now?" Gu Yue's IQ rose, and he looked at Gu Xu, waiting for him to take out a signal arrow to notify him.

"I left a mark. They should be able to find it soon." Gu Xu said.

"Isn't there something that can send out a signal when it touches the sky?" Gu Yue asked.

"Yes, but the assassins will see it." Gu Xu explained.

Yeah, he was stupid.

After walking along the stream for a while, we saw more and more weeds on the road, a thick layer of fallen leaves on the ground, and tall tree crowns on both sides covering the entire surface.

Turning around the side of the mountain wall, they officially entered the range of tall and steep mountains. On the suddenly steep mountain wall, after pushing aside the heavy branches and leaves, a small cave appeared before their eyes.

"Let's wait here for a while." Gu Xu said. He noticed that Gu Yue was unable to walk and his face looked bad.

"Okay." Gu Yue's butt hurt.

Riding a horse is really a pain in the ass. Unlike those horse riding activities in the park, real cavalrymen need to use their legs to support their bodies and use their legs as a shock absorption system when galloping. Otherwise...

Covered by vines and weeds, the cave was a little damp, but it was sunny, with some weeds growing near the entrance, and there were traces of a fire at the innermost part - a fire pit surrounded by stones, with charred ashes in the middle.

"There are people in this place." Gu Yue squatted down to check the fire pit. There was a thick layer of ash on it, which must have been there for several months.

Most of the firewood in the corner was damp, but there was no need to light a fire to keep warm at this time of year. Gu Yue used his sleeve to wipe out a dry spot and let Gu Xu sit down.

It has become a habit to take care of Gu Xu first.

Two people were resting in a cave.

Still keeping alert, Gu Yue listened attentively to the noise outside. There was nothing else except the sound of birds chirping and the wind blowing the leaves.

Gu Yue was in a bad mood, and Gu Xu sensed it.

……

Su Yingjian rode his horse forward, but lost the person halfway through the pursuit.

On the way, he ran into a black-clad assassin.

Su Yingjian drew his sword, pointed it at the masked man in black, and shouted coldly, "Were you sent by the Su family?"

The man in black dismounted from his horse, saluted with his fists and said, "Master Jian."

"Who sent you here? Didn't I send a letter back asking us to observe the situation before making a decision?!" Su Yingjian said angrily.

"Young master has no right to ask this." The man in black led the horse.

"Very good, you don't take your brother's life seriously, and you even attack your future master, you are very good!" Su Yingjian was annoyed, "Get out of here immediately, I will take over Gu Xu's affairs, and no one else is allowed to interfere!"

The man in black tightened his lips.

"Didn't you hear it?" Su Yingjian suppressed his anger.
