Jingcun met with Gu Xu and must have brought back his plan. The two male protagonists finally cooperated briefly in the collapsed plot, and I think they should be invincible.

When Gu Yue thought about it this way, the worry in his heart disappeared.

He became completely familiar with Tumeng and forced him to pay five taels of silver for the accommodation. When he finally found a bed and lay down to rest, it was already dawn. With Shi San watching over him, he felt very relieved and fell asleep immediately.

I slept until the afternoon.

Shi San had already had a meal. The area where the village was located was poor, so Tu Suo still treated them to millet rice and half a roasted lamb leg.

"You've come at the right time. I just shot a wild sheep yesterday." Tuso said with a smile when he saw that he had gotten up.

Gu Yue gave the bed to Shi San and asked him to rest, while he held the lamb leg and talked to Tu Suo.

"Is there any movement in Ganzhou during the day?"

Tu Suo said, "I don't know. I went into the mountains during the day. Oh, but there is a peddler in the village who seems to have just returned from Ganzhou. Can I ask you?"

"Okay." Gu Yue readily agreed.

He finished the mutton in two or three bites and was about to go out with Tumeng, but he met Tumeng's father in front of the courtyard gate.

The old man stopped at the door and stared at Gu Yue for a long while.

"You... have a dark spot between your eyebrows. You look fierce." the old man said.

Gu Yue felt a chill down his spine.

Tumeng was a little embarrassed: "Dad, why are you scaring people? You can't read faces."

The old man shook his head and said, "Life..." Then he spoke a string of nonsense, which Gu Yue did not understand.

"What do you mean?" Gu Yue asked.

Tumeng didn't take it seriously and said with a smile: "My father said that there is a black energy between your eyebrows recently. I am afraid your life is in danger. But don't worry about it. How can my father tell fortunes?"

Then he pulled the old man aside and whispered a few words to him.

"It's okay." Gu Yue smiled, "This is my fate."

He turned to the old man and asked, "Old man, can you tell when this catastrophe will happen?"

Tumeng's father shook his head: "It's not a calamity. Alas..."

Tumeng quickly advised: "You are living well, why are you suddenly saying such depressing words? I see that you are very fair-skinned, so you will be fine."

Gu Yue was delighted.

He could understand that it was not a calamity. Could it be that after his death he could return to his own era? That would be fine, but...

Go back, back to the rented house where I was alone. And Gu Xu was still the powerful regent in the book?

Just as this thought flashed through his mind, Gu Yue felt an unbearable pain in his chest.

Could it be that his mission is to facilitate an alliance between Qin Zhaoyue and Gu Xu?

Gu Xu and the prince teamed up to deal with Mu You, and his mission was accomplished.

Tumeng said: "Hey?! Brother, don't be afraid. My father really can't tell fortunes. He is just trying to scare you."

Gu Yue came back to his senses.

He...he just won’t!

What a piece of shit, you tell me to come and I come, you tell me to leave and I leave?

Even if they really wanted him to complete a task, they should at least give him a system prompt and a better identity, right? Just throw a dead body in and kill him after the task is completed. You can't treat the donkey in the production team like this!

Gu Yue made up his mind, turned around and went back into the house.

Tumon hurried in and said, "Hey? You're not going to ask about Ganzhou?"

"Didn't your father say that I might die? I have to wait for my bodyguard to wake up and go together." Gu Yue said.

Bodyguard? Tumeng was confused.

Gu Yue sat down at the table and began to daydream.

……

After Shi San woke up, Gu Yue told him what happened.

"That's the situation. Based on the principle of believing it is better to believe it than not to believe it, you must protect me." Gu Yue put his hand on Shi San's shoulder: "Do your best... uh, protect me while ensuring your own safety."

Shi San's face suddenly became serious. He nodded solemnly.

Gu Yue added: "Please don't die to save me, or I will be miserable."

Shi San was slightly stunned.

Looking at the sky, it was just dusk, so Gu Yue called Tumeng to visit the peddler who had returned from Ganzhou.

This man also sold things in the village, and Tumeng asked him for a jar of wine.

"My brother wants to ask you something." Tumeng smiled and introduced Gu Yue to the peddler: "He wants to go to Ganzhou, but I don't know what the current situation is."

The peddler was a Han Chinese. Seeing that Gu Yue was also a Han Chinese, he felt familiar with him: "It's still the same! The prince from Luoyang is still outside. We dare not go to the front line."

"What about the city? Has anything changed?"

The peddler thought for a moment and said, "Yes, it is. I heard someone say this when I was buying goods. It seems that the shop of a foreign merchant was closed down because he was treasonous and collaborating with the enemy..."

Yoonsun?

Gu Yue thought, Gu Xu and the others must have already started taking action.

"By the way, how did you get into Ganzhou City?" Gu Yue asked.

"I didn't go into the city. I took a detour from Wuzhou. It's really far!" said the peddler.

"Ganzhou is still under martial law?"

"Yeah, you're not allowed in."

Seeing that there was not much news, Gu Yue said goodbye to the peddler and returned to Tumeng's home.

Yin Shun’s shop was closed, and it seemed that things were about to end.

……

Gu Xu and several Wumen men were lying in ambush in the forest.

There are not only Wufeng and Wuyun, but also people drawn from the Chang'an branch.

The Jing army, numbering hundreds of men, has surrounded all the exits of the mine, waiting for the carts to set off.

Not long after, the messenger who was deliberately let in came out from the exit of the back mountain, followed by the pale-faced Meng Jincheng. The man in black robe followed closely behind him, as did the mine manager. The three of them said something to the guard leader and got on a carriage. The driver whipped the carriage and it started along the road.

There were many carriages parked in the clearing in the forest, all loaded with large boxes filled with silver. The guard leader whistled, and the patrolling guards gathered around, harnessed the carriages, and drove away slowly one after another.

Gu Xu waved his hand gently, and a team led by Wu Feng and Wu Fei followed quietly.

Only when the silver carriage disappeared into the woods and silence returned to the surroundings did Gu Xu stand up.

"Let's do it," he said.

Wu Yun raised his hand, and the Wumen secret guards who were lying in ambush in the forest rushed into the mine tunnel.

……

Wu Yan dropped the pickaxe in his hand.

The mine manager next to him was about to curse when he was knocked unconscious by Wu Yan's knife. He took out a bamboo whistle and put it to his lips, and the sharp whistle sounded throughout the mine.

Zhao Dabao and the miners around him were completely stunned.

Zhao Dabao was the first to react. He was still weak, but he threw the pickaxe in his hand to the ground with great force, raised his arms and shouted: "Brothers, someone is here to save us!"

The miners were confused at first, and then ecstatic.

The Wumen secret guards who had ambushed in the mine tunnels started to attack, but the general managers of ordinary people were tied up. The guards in the mine tunnels drew their swords to resist, and the sound of fighting and killing continued. Some people tried to escape from the exits of the mine tunnels, but were captured by the Jing army guarding the exits.

Gu Xu did not enter the mine, but stood outside waiting silently.

The fighting and searching lasted for about half an hour before they finally subsided.

Not surprising results.

Wu Yun walked out of the exit of the back mountain with the remaining gold nuggets in the mine and a group of miners, followed by the bound captives.
