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

"It was my negligence." Gu Xu frowned.

"What's wrong with this? We've done our best, and that's enough. If we take everything into consideration..." Then he would become Long Aotian Wen. Gu Yue finished the last sentence in his heart.

"You...don't worry too much. Nothing will happen." Gu Xu hesitated and advised.

He knew very well that this man tossed and turned at night and suffered from insomnia.

These things seemed to have put a lot of pressure on this person. But Gu Xu knew that although it was tricky, it was by no means severe.

How to comfort him?

There are many things that Gu Xu cannot say.

Perhaps he ignored this person's feelings too much. Indeed, these forces exerted pressure together, and the person who was really caught in the middle and in danger of his life was not Gu Xu, but Gu Yue. When wisdom is too great, it will hurt, so he must be full of worries.

Gu Xu said, "I won't let anything happen to you."

"Your words are enough." Gu Yue couldn't help but put on a smile, "Shi San has also been teaching me, Shi Si and Shi Wu... martial arts recently. They are much more talented than me. With them around, I am not afraid of them attacking me for the time being."

Gu Yue thought for a moment and said, "Your most urgent task is to find out the unstable people and things in Wumen as soon as possible. If Wumen can be completely used by us, it will be a great help."

Gu Xu looked a little serious: "I know."

I can't give any advice on this. Gu Yue thought, the original text only said that Wumen was cleansed after Wufeng was poisoned, but the author didn't write what happened in detail.

In fact, Gu Yue was now somewhat confused about the so-called original text. Was it really the novel he had read? The sense of unreality was getting stronger and stronger, perhaps because he had been immersed in the world of Beiqin for a longer and longer time. Apart from the plots and general trends that really shocked him, the details were becoming more and more vague.

Ah, right.

Gu Yue said: "I told you before that it would be best to find a way to win over the two people around the prince, the brother and sister."

"Why?" Gu Xu wondered.

Wu Ye and Wu Yue are both good people he arranged, but why is Gu Dashi so stubborn about these two people?

According to the news sent back from the capital, the brother and sister have gained Qin Zhaoyue's trust, but have not yet obtained the most important information.

Gu Yue could lie without thinking: "I know that man. He is a very good doctor. Extraordinary. If you get him, you won't be afraid of poisoning in the future."

Gu Xu looked at him suspiciously.

Seeing this, Gu Yue did not say anything more. Because his time travel changed many plots, the hero was still able to obtain the Wumen normally, then the treasure, and even obtained key information about his life experience, which meant that he did not need to worry too much.

Gu Xu will get what he deserves.

"Okay, don't make that expression." Gu Yue smiled and pinched Gu Xu's cheek, "Anyway, I won't hurt you."

This is true, Gu Xu thought.

……

In the evening, He Gui and a few others sold out the fried chicken and returned to the yard.

"Boss." He Gui knocked on the window frame.

Gu Yue, who was checking Hang Dou's manuscript with Gu Xu, opened the window: "What's wrong?"

"Boss, here you go." He Gui handed him a tightly rolled small paper roll.

"What?" Gu Xu got off the kang bed.

"What's going on?" Gu Yue asked, slowly unfolding the paper roll.

He Gui said that this was a note that someone handed to him when he was selling fried chicken this afternoon. The person was sneaky and didn't seem to have any bad intentions. He just kept winking at him. He Gui took the note back.

Gu Yue and Gu Xu put their heads together.

The note read: Stay out of sight. Tonight at midnight, we will meet at He's house in Beidaliu Village, Liuli Town.

No signature.

Gu Yue’s first reaction: I’m not going!

Nonsense, the situation is so tense now, there are people everywhere who want to take advantage of them. He asked to meet for no reason, and the appointment was sneaky, it must be nothing good.

What if he goes there and a bunch of people come to kill him?

"It's just ordinary rice paper, and the ink is nothing special." Gu Xu took the note and sniffed it, but it was snatched away by Gu Yue.

"What if it's poisonous? You can't smell it directly!" Gu Yue was nervous.

“…I understand.” Gu Xu said.

"Did he say who the note was for?" Gu Yue asked He Gui who had not left the window.

"He didn't say anything. He seemed like... he was afraid of being discovered. He only said he wanted five servings of fried chicken and some braised food." He Gui replied.

"How is that person dressed? What does he look like?" Gu Xu also asked.

"Well... he was wearing ordinary coarse cloth clothes, he was still quite young, and he didn't have a beard," He Gui recalled.

Father and son looked at each other.

"It looks like he's from the capital." Gu Yue said.

"What do you mean?" Gu Xu asked.

"You only have coarse cloth clothes, but you want so many fried foods at once. I guess you are not short of money." Gu Yue said, "Oh, I think it's too complicated. Apart from those in the capital who want to win you and me over, who else would be interested in us? If you want to cooperate in business, just come to our door directly."

"Yes, he also knows there are spies." Gu Xu said, "Are you going?"

"No, no!" Gu Yue shook his head, "It's too dangerous."

Gu Xu waved to He Gui, and He Gui helped them close the window and left.

"It's time to go." Gu Xu said.

"No. What if it's King Yin? We haven't got the contract yet. Or maybe it's Wen Qing and the others, they'll kill us both with a knife and then come in to look for the account book." Gu Yue's face was full of rejection.

Gu Xu calmly analyzed: "It can't be King Yin. The current situation is not a good time for him to expose himself. He won't make a move so quickly. It can't be Wen Qing either. If he wants the account book, he can just barge in directly. Why bother inviting him?"

Gu Yue said nothing.

"...Dad, don't be afraid." Gu Xu comforted.

"I'm not scared!" Gu Yue said stubbornly.

"Let's take Wu Feng and the other four with us, and then take Shi San with us." Gu Xu said, "I'll ask Wu Hua to keep an eye on this place and not let anyone get close."

"Who is Wuhua?" Gu Yue was puzzled when he suddenly heard the unfamiliar name.

Gu Xu smiled.

Gu Yue thought for a moment and was horrified: "It's him!"

But there was not much chance to be shocked, Gu Yue was stumped by the trouble brought by this note: "Uh uh... okay. I'll go. Otherwise, Xiao Xu, you should stay at home."

"No need. This person... I have a rough guess." Gu Xu frowned and said.

……

At midnight, the father and son and Shi San went out with the help of the four people from Wumen.

Daliu Village was very close, only about a mile away, so everyone walked and soon arrived at the destination.

It was a very small village. At the northernmost end, there was a large courtyard with green tiles and yellow lanterns, which stood out among the many dark earthen houses. Gu Yue approached and saw a plaque hanging on the gate. It was the He residence.

The corner door on one side suddenly opened and a head popped out.

The man asked quietly, "Is it Boss Gu Dashi?"

"Yes." Gu Yue replied.

"Boss Gu, please come in." The man made way.
