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

Gu Xu sat quietly, waiting for him to digest all his emotions.

Zhou Qiong lay down for a while.

He had been locked up in the dungeon for several years, and when he suddenly saw the light of day again, his words and actions were still a little obscure. The brother in the pharmacy pulled out the last needle, wiped it clean, roasted it over the fire, put it back into the needle bag, and then left.

Zhou Qiong said slowly: "Young Master...are the remaining people trustworthy?"

Only Gu Xu, Wu Feng and Wu Yan were left in the room.

"Yes, just tell me." Gu Xu said.

Zhou Qiong nodded, without questioning Gu Xu's judgment. He spoke slowly.

"My name is Zhou Qiong, and I am the personal bodyguard of Lord Shen. Since the young master can find me, he must know my identity."

Gu Xu said: "I learned about your existence from the village chief of Tongshan Village. He said that my parents left me something in Tongshan."

"That's exactly what I told him, but it's a serious matter, so I can't say too much." Zhou Qiong said, "I didn't have any hope. Who would run to that small village deep in the mountains for no reason? Therefore, I go to the village once every six months to check if the treasure is safe. The rest of the time, I look for the young master's traces in various places in Northern Qin."

"Don't you know that it was Fu Dao who took away the master?" Wu Feng asked.

"Fu Dao...it turned out to be him." Zhou Qiong seemed somewhat relieved. "He always does things carefully. It's natural that I can't find him anywhere."

He quickly came to his senses: "Oh, the treasure is also known to the Wushumingwu Sect Master. Did the master get the news from him?"

Gu Xu's eyes turned cold.

As expected. In his previous life, he got that treasure because Qin Zhaoyue played a role in creating an "accidental discovery". Now it seems that Wu Shouming in his previous life was indeed in collusion with the prince.

No, I'm afraid Wu Shouming was deceived by Qin Zhaoyue's righteous face. He had tested Wu Shouming many times and knew that he was just a decent sect leader. And according to Wu Shouming, he knew about Su Huaiyue's plan against Gu Xu a long time ago, and all the concealment in his previous life was just to carry out the mission.

He was rescued from Nanfeng Pavilion in Liuli Town by Qin Zhaoyue, and became close to him. Therefore, even if Wu Shouming knew his true identity, he would not reveal the news before receiving the jade card signal.

But because of this relationship, he was able to conquer the Wumen in his previous life very smoothly and without any obstacles.

Gu Xu touched the back of his hand. There were so many strange things, but he had no doubts at all.

If Gu Yue was by his side at that time, he would have definitely discovered all these flaws...

Gu Xu replied: "No, I had a chance encounter and that's how I got the treasure."

Zhou Qiong clasped his withered hands together again: "God bless you... God bless you. Even without anyone's guidance, the young master has come this far and has not been deceived by the wicked..."

Gu Xu lowered his eyes: "It's not that there is no one to guide me."

"Who is it?" Zhou Qiong was stunned.

"He died for me." Gu Xu said, "If... I will take his body to worship my parents."

Zhou Qiong read an inexplicable emotion in his eyes. He had been a guard for many years, so he naturally knew what was going on, and continued, "... It was like this. Three years ago? Or was it four years ago? Anyway, it was a summer day. I returned to the Wumen headquarters in Luoyang, preparing to continue to work as a secret guard, access the intelligence of the sect, and filter out the possible location of the young master."

He paused and said, "Who would have thought that a secret guard I had always known - at that time, his name was Wu Hurricane. He claimed to be an orphan chosen by Master Huaiyue from the Xiugu Hall. He thought that Master Huaiyue's affairs were very strange, so he searched everywhere for members of the sect who had been stationed in Yunxi, wanting to investigate."

"I believed his lies... and told him everything." Zhou Qiong's face was gloomy. "I thought someone would know the mystery and help me find the young master, and then I would wait for an opportunity to take revenge, but he lured me out and arrested me."

Zhou Qiong sighed deeply: "In the past few years, I have been in that dark dungeon. They wanted to force some things out of me, but since I was arrested, I refused to open my mouth, until the young master..."

Zhou Qiong burst into tears again.

He spoke very slowly, his speech was not very clear, and his voice became hoarser as he spoke. It was obvious that he had not spoken for a long time.

Gu Xu said: "You are out now. Enjoy the rest of your life in peace from now on."

"No!" Zhou Qiong struggled to get up, "Young Master, I cannot live the rest of my life in peace until the thief is dead. The death of Master Huaiyue and the master was not suicide, nor was it out of fear of crime. Master Huaiyue already had an extremely complete plan and did not need to die. It was she who mistakenly trusted the jackal and brought disaster upon herself!"

Gu Xu looked at Zhou Qiong's ferocious face and asked slowly, "It's the Su family, right?"

Zhou Qiong clutched the quilt tightly and stared at him in a daze: "Young Master, you know everything?"

"It's just a guess." Gu Xu said, "Tell me, what exactly happened back then?"

Zhou Qiong seemed a little puzzled.

Gu Xu saw his doubts and said, "My mother's plan back then... was to leave me a way out. She didn't want me to indulge in hatred for the rest of my life, so she asked Fu Dao to ask his wife to hide my memory."

"Young Master, since you want revenge, why don't you ask her to come out and restore your memory?" Zhou Qiong said, "After all, we are just servants, and you are the closest person to Master Huaiyue. It would be good for you to remember any details."

Gu Xu shook his head slightly: "Fu Dao refused."

Zhou Qiong was a little absent-minded, not really understanding what the intention was.

But Gu Xu knew it.

Judging from the case files alone, the tragedy was truly horrific. When Fu Dao mentioned the burning Prince Shen's Mansion, there was a trace of pity on his face. He probably didn't want to worry about the memories of that year.

Wu Yan took the tea and poured a cup for Zhou Qiong. He held the hot tea in his hand and spoke slowly.

"My young master was very young at the time, so naturally he didn't know the cause and effect of some things. I will start from the beginning."

"About... a dozen years ago. The master has inherited the prince's title and has lived in Yunxi for many years. Everything has been peaceful. Master Huaiyue is lively and intelligent by nature, and likes to study the art of mechanical devices and gunpowder."

"Perhaps this is why the incident started... Master Huaiyue got an ancient manual one day, which recorded some techniques for matching and connecting gunpowder mechanisms. This humble official doesn't quite understand it. Anyway, since he got the ancient manual, Master Huaiyue has always wanted to make something like the 'portable cannon barrel' recorded in it."

"Although the Prince Shen's Mansion is poor, it can support the master's research with the rewards saved by the ancestors." Zhou Qiong said, "The master also looked at the master Huaiyue's idea and thought it was feasible, so the couple studied this together. Later, there was a pick-up, and the scale was slightly expanded. Young master, you know Fu Dao, and you should also know Zha Dao, who is from the same school as him. This Zha Dao was the main manager of this type of weapon at that time."
