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

He kept this in mind.

……

The courtyard was guarded by Wumen's own people, so Gu Xu did not go back to his own Lesong Courtyard, but fell asleep on the small couch in the outer room.

The bed in Bo's house was naturally very spacious, but the two of them had never slept together since they came back from Ganzhou.

Gu Yue lay flat on his back, feeling uncomfortable all over.

When he first came here, he had imagined a rich life in the future, but now that he had everything he expected, he did not feel any joy.

These things are insubstantial.

And... the omnipresent peeping, and the relationship with Gu Xu...

There were so many problems waiting to be solved that he felt a lot of pressure.

Shi San has already sent people to Liuli Town to pick up his employees. Maybe when his business gets busy again, he won't be so...

No, it is also a question whether the fried chicken business can still be done.

Just as he was thinking, Gu Xu outside suddenly made a move. He seemed to stand up and quickly rushed out the door; then Gu Yue heard the sound of weapons clashing outside, he got up quickly, but didn't dare to go out.

The assassin arrived so soon?!

Gu Xu's voice came: "It's you? What's the matter?"

There was surprise in his tone, but no nervousness. Gu Yue thought it should be safe, so he got out of bed and walked to the outer door.

Wu Yan held the sword against the neck of Wen Qing, who was dressed in black.

"Wen Qing? Why are you here?"

Gu Yue asked. Wen Qing's eyes lit up when she looked at him, but they were also complicated, and Gu Yue couldn't understand what they meant.

"Congratulations, you have been conferred the title of Earl." Wen Qing smiled faintly.

Gu Xu signaled with his eyes, and Wu Yan put away his sword and stood aside.

"Come in and talk." Gu Yue invited the person in.

Wen Qing entered the house, followed closely by Gu Xu and Wu Yan.

"Have some tea?" Gu Yue said politely.

"No need. I came here to ask, have you already taken action against Mu You?"

"Yeah." Gu Xu replied.

"How have you arranged the part concerning me?" Wen Qing asked.

The two looked at each other.

Wen Qing said: "Master Gu. With your intelligence, you should have known the whole story. I don't need to explain it in detail."

Gu Yue was silent.

"In order not to implicate Qin Zhaoning, we tried to cover up your affairs as much as possible." Gu Xu said, "It's hard to say whether it has any effect, after all, this matter was handled by the crown prince."

Wen Qing pondered.

"Why?" Gu Yue asked, "I haven't asked you yet, where did you and Qin Zhaoning go when you left the city that day?"

Qin Zhaoning looked like he was worried at the housewarming party. I thought he had something to say, but he just left.

Gu Yue thought about the original text and wondered if there was any misunderstanding between them?

"I hid in the Ganjin tribe for a while." Wen Qing's eyes wandered over their faces.

"Just say what you want to say." Gu Yue could see what he wanted to say.

"I'm here to ask for your help with something." Wen Qing said.

"What can stump you?" Gu Yue suddenly laughed.

"Mu You is in prison, and everyone in his house has been arrested. If they investigate thoroughly, they will definitely find out about me, and then drag Qin Zhaoning into the water." Wen Qing said, "I want to protect him."

Wen Qing looked at Gu Yue.

After observing for a while, he looked at Gu Xu again: "He protected it very well before, and I had never seen the famous Su Huaiyue, so I didn't notice it."

"Tell me about your story first." Gu Yue said, "Qin Zhaoning is deeply involved with you. If anything happens to you, it will be difficult for him to escape. But you have been with Mu You for many years. Didn't you take some precautions?"

Wen Qing did not answer immediately.

Gu Xu looked at him for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Did you do this to Mu You?"

"Yes." Wen Qing admitted generously.

Did Wen Qing drive Mu You crazy? Gu Yue was surprised... but not really surprised.

"Then what are you worried about?"

"I missed it." Wen Qing's eyes turned cold. "Before the incident, Mu You suspected that I was betraying him, so he sent a piece of news about me. What the news was about and who it was sent to is unknown. The emperor appointed Shen Yongyuan from the Dali Temple to investigate Mu You's case. This person is very meticulous and will definitely not miss this loophole."

"To show my sincerity, I can tell you a piece of news first." Wen Qing said, "This Shen Yongyuan appears to be loyal to the royal family, but in fact he is from the Xu family."

Xu family? Gu Yue suddenly realized, isn't that the power of King Yin?

They seemed to have pretended to join Mu You. But now it seems that the Yin Wang family may have a plan for this, and with Shen Yongyuan in charge of investigating the case, the Xu family should be safe.

But if the people investigating the case are from the Yin King's faction...

Seeing that he remained silent, Wen Qing suddenly smiled and said, "It seems that this information is of no value. You already know that the Xu family belongs to King Yin."

Ah, how did you see that? Gu Yue exclaimed, Wen Qing is a master of micro-expressions!

"With King Yin behind him, Qin Zhaoning will definitely be caught by him to stir up trouble, and he will hide behind the scenes to reap the benefits." Wen Qing said, "Master Gu, do you have a way to rescue Qin Zhaoning from this situation?"

"Me?" Gu Yue pointed at his nose. I'll find a solution? Me?

"You must have a way." Wen Qing said.

Gu Xu asked, "Why should we help you?"

Wen Qing said: "I have already thought of what I want to exchange with you. Why don't you listen to my conditions?"

"You say." Gu Yue nodded.

"Since Gu Xu is the descendant of Prince Shen, then what you should investigate should be the truth about the rebellion in Prince Shen's mansion back then." Wen Qing said.

"You know?" Gu Yue expressed his doubt.

"I have some clues." Wen Qing said, "How about it? Want to exchange?"

"Change, you decide." Gu Yue replied, "But I can't guarantee that I can save Qin Zhaoning."

"Save him first, and then I'll tell you what happened back then." Wen Qing said.

"..." Gu Yue thought it would be better not to say that.

But he was not one to boast, so he asked cautiously, "Is your information authentic?"

"Guaranteed authenticity." Wen Qing said.

Gu Yue thought for a moment and asked, "Did you have a tattoo of Lingfeng Pavilion on your little finger?"

Wen Qing raised the end of his eyebrows: "Master Gu is really observant."

It's revealed! The tattoo is indeed the logo of Lingfeng Pavilion. Gu Yue and Gu Xu looked at each other.

"Okay. We'll help you first." he said.

"What do you think?" Wen Qing asked. There was a hint of urgency between his brows, not very obvious, but Gu Yue could still see it.

"Excuse me for asking, what is your relationship with Qin Zhaoning?" Gu Yue laughed dryly.

Wen Qing was not shy and answered, "The most important person."

He felt a numbness on the back of his neck for no reason, and said quickly, "Ahem! I see. Since King Yin is determined to make a fuss about Qin Zhaoning, it is inevitable that Qin Zhaoning will get involved in this matter."

Wen Qing said: "I know this."

"We can strike first." Gu Yue raised his finger.

Kill King Yin? NoNoNo!
