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

"No need." Qin Zhaoyue said, "It happened too long ago, and the culprit Sarhan has been killed. The account book is of little significance as evidence. And Gu Dashi did not bring up the matter on his own initiative. I think he also wants to take some credit for it. Let them do this, and I can also get some benefits."

"Is it possible to do good deeds quietly like this..." Jingcun asked.

"Quietly? No way." Qin Zhaoyue said with a smile, "Let someone continue to follow them, and when necessary, contact our people for timely assistance. They have people but no power in the officialdom, so it may be difficult for them to do this."

The Northern Qin Crown Prince sighed, "Besides...if Gu Xu wants to establish himself, he must have made contributions. And they must be great contributions that can be seen by the world. Only in this way will the emperor not kill him."

Jingcun said: "Yes. I understand."

Qin Zhaoyue raised her hand again: "One more thing. Keep a close eye on the Su family and see if they make any unusual moves. I suspect that Gu Xu either knows his life story or has heard something from someone."

Jingcun said: "Yes."

"Gu Dashi... it's best to find a chance to get rid of him. But we can't do it by ourselves."

……

They walked all the way home. The Wumen secret guards all returned to the martial arts hall. Gu Yue and the other two climbed over the wall and quietly entered the yard.

The two rooms allocated to the employees were quiet, and everyone had gone to bed. Gu Yue and Gu Xu entered the main room where they lived and sat down on the kang bed.

"I'm so tired! It's so tiring dealing with these big shots." Gu Yue collapsed on the bed.

He did not ignore Gu Xu's strange emotions along the way, and stretched out his arm to pull him: "Xiao Xu, what's wrong? Did the prince say anything to you?"

"What he meant is that if I want, I can join his camp at any time." Gu Xu leaned on the pillow and the folded quilt, his face looking much better because of Gu Yue's concern.

"You refused?" Gu Yue asked cautiously.

"No." Gu Xu shook his head.

"Why?" Gu Yue was a little surprised. Before, Gu Xu's attitude towards Qin Zhaoyue was full of rejection, but now he didn't reject him on the spot?

Is this the buff of mutual sympathy given to the protagonists by the will of the plot?

"He is still of some use. We will need his help when we investigate the pharmacy in the future." Gu Xu said.

Gu Yue felt relieved. The protagonist is the protagonist, calm and sober.

"That's true...but they didn't even mention the account book issue. What does that mean? Are they not going to investigate this matter anymore?" Gu Yue looked at the beams.

"Qin Zhaoyue wants to support me, so he must give up this credit." Gu Xu said.

"Did he tell you that?" Gu Yue quickly turned over.

"No, but he is that kind of person." Gu Xu looked sour.

So much understanding? Gu Yue felt strange, but another thing made him feel even stranger: "Logically speaking... you are just one person, why did the King of Yin and the Crown Prince do everything they could to win you over? They even set up a trap, left the capital to meet you, and made such a big concession..."

Gu Yue analyzed seriously: "The Su family is so powerful that they don't want to take sides, and no one can force them. Back then, they gave up their beloved daughter to protect the family. Now, they will do something that may confiscate the family and destroy the whole family for a grandson like you?"

"And the crown prince, I don't understand him either. He is already the crown prince, why is he still doing these things of forming cliques and pursuing personal interests? He can directly succeed to the throne in the future. I heard that he will be the crown prince." Gu Yue said.

Gu Xu reached out and held the back of Gu Yue's hand.

Gu Yue felt a sudden tingling sensation on his scalp.

It's not his fault. It's just that Gu Xu is becoming less and less like a good and obedient boy. Ever since he knew his life experience, his face has become mature and solemn. Holding hands like this in the dark room... It's a bit embarrassing.

Regardless of what he thought, Gu Xu slowly said, "It is said that... the Crown Prince was appointed by the previous emperor. Therefore, there are many rumors that when the current emperor was still the crown prince, he did not intend to appoint Qin Zhaoyue as the future crown prince, and Qin Zhaoyue was not his choice. Over the years, the princes have been fighting fiercely, and it is also the result of the emperor's indulgence."

Gu Yue suddenly realized: "I see, then it is reasonable for Qin Zhaoyue to feel a sense of crisis. But what about you? It still doesn't make sense that they would go to such great lengths to win you over."

Gu Xu looked at him for a while, seemingly considering it.

Gu Yue blinked.

"Do you remember what Su Yingjian said at that time, about Prince Shen's rebellion?" Gu Xu said.

"Remember, wasn't that a false accusation?" Gu Yue had a preconceived notion that there was nothing wrong with Gu Xu's parents.

"It is said that... the Shen Palace is feared by the royal family because they have a private army in their hands." Gu Xu observed Gu Yue's expression in the dark.

Gu Yue frowned and thought.

The Prince Shen's Mansion had a private army, which caused fear and the entire family of the Prince Shen was exterminated. Many years later, Gu Xu's identity as the descendant of the Prince Shen's Mansion gradually emerged, and he immediately attracted the King Yin and the Prince to win him over.

The original text says that Gu Xu has another Chaozhen army under his command, which is the armed force left by his father.

So that’s it, that’s it!

Gu Xu waited for a while, but when he didn't say anything, he was about to continue. But Gu Yue suddenly sat up and exclaimed, "I know!"

Gu Xu: ...It scared me.

Gu Yue turned over and got out of bed, opened the kang hole that he had cleaned when he came, and took out a small box from it.

Gu Xu:? It turns out that this method of hiding money is common in the family.

It was an ordinary wooden box. Gu Xu remembered that it was something Gu Yue had brought along when he asked a carpenter to make those fried chicken plates. It had a mechanism on it, and it was very ingenious. Gu Yue opened the box, took out a palm-sized white jade plaque, and held it in front of Gu Xu with great joy.

"Xiao Xu, look at this!" Gu Yue held the jade token and placed it on the bed, then pulled a cloth to wipe his hands.

"What is this?" Gu Xu held the sign and looked at it from front to back.

"I found this in the rice paper roll in the room where you lived in the house in Gujia Village." Gu Yue was overjoyed. He hadn't thought of this. "Aren't those books the things you brought? This jade token should also be yours. Could this be the token of the Chaozhen Army?"

What a surprise!

This jade looks expensive, and it doesn't look like something that a peasant family like Gu Dashi can own. If Gu Xu hadn't revealed his identity recently and mentioned the Chao Zhen Army in the original text again, he would have been unable to remember this.

Although now is not a good time to contact the Chaozhen Army, but Gu Xu has the power of Wumen, so he has the ability to protect this thing. It is right to hand it over to him.

Gu Xu held the sign and looked at it again and again.

Gu Yue looked at him expectantly.

"This should not be the token of Chaozhen Army." Gu Xu said.
