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

There was no time for small talk, and the group rode at full speed towards the Ganjin tribe in the south of the woods.

After walking a few miles along the forest path, they reached the end of the forest. The sun suddenly shone from the grassland in front of them. Gu Yue squinted his eyes and was immediately shocked by the scene in front of him.

In the distance were clear-cut snow-capped mountains gilded by the sun, connected to a long mountain range. In the near distance was a grassland with sparse trees and a large settlement not far away.

From a topographical point of view, this place is not exactly the same as the present world.

The horse team slowed down. Gu Yue asked, "What's your plan?"

"Let's go directly to meet the Right King." Gu Xu said, "The matter of Ganzhou cannot be delayed, the sooner the better."

"But where is the Right King?" Gu Yue asked, "He didn't show up during such a big event as the war in Xidi. I wonder if he is still alive."

Gu Yue couldn't help him. He had no memory of the story about the Left King and the Right King. In the original story, Gu Xu was invincible and fought all the way to the door of the Left King's tent in Xidi, just like cheating. The struggle between the Left King and the Right King didn't take up much space, and the plot flowed smoothly. Gu Yue was only looking forward to Gu Xu's canonization later.

Gu Xu reined in his horse and waited for him to come forward and then started again: "The situation in the Western Di Kingdom is not complicated. The struggle is only concentrated among the upper nobles of the Western Di Kingdom. Few of these nobles are completely neutral. They all support their own side."

Gu Xu pointed to the large settlement ahead.

"Ganjin tribe. The leader of this tribe is the Youwang faction. Although it is insignificant, it has always been a medium for Youwang to communicate with Northern Qin."

"You want to meet him directly? What's your reason?" Gu Yue suddenly realized.

He did not investigate why Gu Xu knew so much. Anyway, it could be said to be Wumen's investigation.

"I have a solution." Gu Xu said.

Gu Yue nodded. This person is the protagonist, he won't do useless work.

The gentle hills ahead were all the territory of the Xidi. It was wartime, and there were many spies on the border. As soon as they entered the grassland area, they were stopped by a Xidi cavalry.

"Who are you?" the leading Xidi asked loudly.

Gu Yue didn't understand.

Shi San wanted to step forward to act as an interpreter, but he heard Gu Xu respond in a clumsy Xidi dialect. The Xidi leader looked surprised, whispered a few words to the people around him, and glanced at their team of five.

He asked Gu Xu something in Xidi language, and Gu Xu answered one by one.

Gu Yue glanced sideways, wondering when did this guy learn the Xidi language?

...But he wasn't surprised.

The Xidi man nodded after asking, waved his hand, looked at the people behind Gu Xu, and said in a very stuttering Chinese: "You, follow me!"

He seemed to be pointing to a subordinate in the team to continue patrolling, while he left the team alone and rode towards the settlement area in the distance with Gu Xu and his party.

"So smooth? What did you say to him?" Gu Yue asked in a low voice.

"I said, we are envoys sent by Northern Qin, and we have important matters to discuss with the leader of the Ganjin tribe." Gu Xu said, "We have something that is inconvenient to discuss with a formal audience, so we are traveling light and secretly."

Gu Yue asked, "He believed it? Aren't you afraid that we will kill or poison him in our home?"

Gu Xu smiled: "This is a border settlement with elite soldiers. It is not easy to defeat it with just a few people."

He continued, "The power of one or even a few people is ultimately insignificant in a war."

The wind between the hills was very comfortable. Gu Yue turned to look at him and nodded thoughtfully.

"However, assassinating the main general, disrupting the morale of the army, and then taking advantage of the unstable situation to launch an attack is also a strategy." Gu Xu said.

"We shouldn't do this." Gu Yue was ashamed. He didn't like fighting and killing.

"If the leader of the Ganjin tribe is sober enough, then there is no need for that." Gu Xu said.

……

Soon, the huge settlement came into view.

The area is almost the same as that of a medium-sized city in Northern Qin, but there are no city walls. Instead, the residential area in the middle is surrounded by fences, and the Ganjin tribe’s military camp is outside.

As he got closer, Gu Yue saw the most conspicuous huge royal tent in the center of the settlement. The tent was about three meters high, with a roof and walls, and four people guarding the door.

However, the royal tent was quite far away, so Gu Yue and his party stopped in front of the gate of the settlement.

The Xidi patrolman said something to the man at the door. The man nodded and ran quickly towards the king's tent in the settlement.

Gu Yue looked around.

He was not surprised that the patrolling Xidi knew a few words of Chinese. Ganjin was close to Northern Qin and had always been the first supply station for trade, so there should be many people who could speak Chinese.

They should speak more quietly.

After a while, the Xidi man who went in to report ran back to the door and said something to the patrol guard who was leading the way.

"Please come in! The leader wants to see you." said the patrolman.

It went so smoothly. Is this the power of the protagonist's halo?

Gu Yue thought to himself, and he and Gu Xu got off the horse together and walked towards the tent in the center of the settlement.

The atmosphere of the entire settlement was not serious, and there were even a few children chasing and playing around the king's tent. The entire Ganjin tribe looked good, with no signs of war, and even the children were wearing the same fabrics commonly seen in Ganzhou City.

Gu Yue glanced at the carriage parked in the fence not far away and frowned slightly.

He whispered to Gu Xu: "You only told them that we were envoys from Northern Qin, and didn't say anything else?"

Gu Xu nodded, with doubt in his eyes.

Gu Yue didn't explain. He lowered his head.

When they arrived at the gate, there was no red tape. The patrol guard leading the way lifted the sheepskin curtain and invited them in.

The king's tent was very large. In the middle was a throne on a high platform, with guards standing on both sides. The leader of the Ganjin tribe sat on the throne, a middle-aged man with a beard.

Gu Xu patted his shoulder, bent over, and performed a simple courtesy, and Gu Yue and others followed suit.

"Are you the envoys sent by Northern Qin?" asked the leader, who actually spoke fluent Chinese.

Gu Xu said: "That's right."

"What's the matter? Sandro said that you have something important to tell others, so you came here secretly." The leader asked, "Who are you representing? Why did you come to Ganjin?"

When Gu Xu was about to speak, Gu Yue reached out and pulled him.

Gu Xu shut his mouth.

Gu Yue stepped forward and replaced Gu Xu's first position in the team.

"I didn't expect that the leader of the Xidi Ganjin tribe could speak Chinese so well." Gu Yue said with a smile, "My surname is Gu, and I do some small business in Beiqin."

Gu Xu noticed that the expression of the Ganjin tribe leader changed slightly.

"Aren't you envoys?" the leader asked coldly.

"Of course we are." Gu Yue said.

He looked at the guards on both sides, hinting: "But we are here to discuss some things with the leader that are not easy to publicize. It seems difficult to talk about it in this tent."
