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

"Where is Su Muying?" Gu Xu was not surprised to see Wen Qing.

He walked forward slowly, trying to determine what Wen Qing's expression meant.

He didn't seem nervous at all, and he always looked like he was sure of winning. If Gu Xu hadn't known that he had something that really mattered to him, he really wouldn't have been able to detect his flaws.

"It's still early, why rush to finish the official business?" Wen Qing maintained his faint smile, standing still, not showing any fear towards the Wumen secret guards surrounding him.

"Since you are his man, you must know what happened back then." Gu Xu said coldly, "Are you determined to protect him?"

"Save him? You must be joking, young master." Wen Qing's eyes drifted towards the house behind him. "But, his life is far from over."

"Then there's nothing to talk about?" Gu Xu raised his hand.

Wuhuo placed the sword in his palm.

"Why bother with fighting?" Wen Qing remained motionless. "You brought so many people with you. Even I would be unable to escape."

Gu Xu said nothing, but drew his sword.

Wen Qing frowned slightly. This person is still the same!

He said, "I am waiting here to make a deal with you, young master."

"I only want Su Muying." Gu Xu said coldly.

"Really?" Wen Qing's smile became more obvious after hearing this. "Young Master's desire for revenge is really hard to erase. But are you really not going to listen to my conditions? Perhaps it has something to do with what you have been keeping in your heart."

Gu Xu's expression changed slightly.

Wen Qing said: "Why not listen to my story first."

Without waiting for Gu Xu to answer, Wen Qing continued, "A few days ago, a team from Lingfeng Pavilion that was tracking down Gu Dashi's subordinates, namely He Gui and his two companions, suspended their mission and returned to Luoyang. On the way, they encountered an interesting incident."

"It was in Xiong'er Mountain, southwest of Luoyang. They discovered a mysterious team heading into the jungle." Wen Qing glanced at the people around Gu Xu.

He saw Wu Feng's expression change and smiled with satisfaction.

"It just so happened that I was handling some matters near Xiong'er Mountain at that time, and I just received their report. Combined with the prince's wedding a few days ago, the various changes in the palace, and the calculation of the horse journey and the distance to Luoyang - I think this team may bring me some unexpected gains." Wen Qing's smile became more and more sincere, he was rarely in such a good mood.

"I led the crowd to Xiong'er Mountain for support and captured the team of four people at the edge of the dense forest." Wen Qing said, "They were very stubborn. No one was willing to reveal their affiliation, and they were looking for an opportunity to die."

Wu Feng clenched his back teeth and clenched his fists tightly.

He had already noticed that the Fengtang team that went to track Qin Zhaoyue had not sent back any news for two days, and he thought that something had happened to the carrier pigeon on the way, but now he knew the answer!

"Of course I can't do what they want, so..." Wen Qing looked at Wu Feng, "My little brother, please rest assured, they are alive and well now."

Wu Feng was startled, breathed a sigh of relief, and subconsciously turned to look at Gu Xu.

Gu Xu's face was grim and he said nothing.

"They refused to reveal their specific actions, but it's not hard to guess. Following the traces in the forest, I found it..." Wen Qing looked around and smiled, "As for what I found, I don't need to tell you in person, right? I think young Master Gu knows it well."

When Gu Xu heard that his plan was completely disrupted, he remained calm.

Wen Qing was a complicated person, and it was hard to tell what his purpose was. From what he said, Qin Zhaoyue fell into his hands?

"What do you want?" Gu Xu asked.

If Wen Qing was determined to support Su Muying...

No. Gu Xu narrowed his eyes.

If Wen Qing had been willing to help Su Muying achieve his great cause, the situation would not be like this today. The evidence against the Su family was a secret plot between him and Qin Zhaohong. Wen Qing might not know it, but such a big thing as confiscating the family property required the cooperation of multiple officials from three provinces and six ministries, and the mobilization of the imperial guards, the Jinwu Guards...

Wen Qing is capable enough to know this, so why didn't he resist?

Or perhaps it is not an exaggeration to say that the current situation is the result of Wen Qing's indulgence.

why?

Wen Qing said: "Young Master, I have to say that your plan really scares me. Forcing that person out of the capital to dig out his hidden men... It's really ingenious, I admire it very much. But..."

Just what? Gu Xu waited for him to continue.

"When we found that encampment, the person you wanted was already dead." Wen Qing said with a smile.

Gu Xu frowned.

Why did he die when he had Lu Tianyun protecting him?

"Where are the other two?" Gu Xu asked. He had received news that an unknown man followed Qin Zhaoyue and Lu Tianyun halfway.

Now it was Wen Qing's turn to be surprised.

I originally thought that the man who looked very much like Gu Dashi was one of Gu Xu's men, or that he was a substitute that Qin Zhaoyue found in order to win over and control Gu Xu. But now it seems that the situation is a bit complicated.

Wen Qing said: "Only one person survived. But our people heard an interesting conversation."

He didn't keep the secret any longer: "Before Qin Zhaoyue died, they seemed to have had some kind of conflict. He called the still-living man - 'Gu Dashi'? And that man didn't refute it."

Gu Xu took a step forward in a panic.

"What did you say?" He stared at Wen Qing's face.

"Coincidentally, the living person is the man called 'Gu Dashi'." Wen Qing said, "We brought him back to the pavilion and found that he does look like Gu Dashi."

"Where is he?" Gu Xu asked.

Wen Qing smiled but did not answer.

"Is this the deal you want to make with me?" Gu Xu sneered, "Use this... person who looks very similar to him in exchange for Su Muying's life?"

"That's right." Wen Qing's expression faded: "Let us leave Luoyang. Young Master, believe me, this choice will do you no harm."

Gu Xu was silent.

Wu Feng said hurriedly: "But Boss Gu is already dead..."

Emotionally, he wanted to see Gu Xu get revenge, but when he thought of the unidentified man and the brothers under Wen Qing's command, he couldn't say any more words of persuasion.

Wu Yan looked at the thoughtful Gu Xu and whispered, "Master, our people are still in his hands."

"I know." said Gu Xu.

Wen Qing said: "Of course, the brothers we captured will be returned to you in one piece."

"What is your purpose?" Gu Xu asked.

Wen Qing paused for two seconds: "Same as you."

Gu Xu nodded slightly. He then said, "Let them go. If they need a carriage to shelter them, or if they need to avoid the city inspection, we can do that as well."

Wu Feng was worried, but he still clasped his fists and said, "Yes!"

"That's not necessary. Thank you, young uncle." Wen Qing smiled, "It seems that we are all very lucky."

Gu Xu had already turned around, but turned back again after hearing this.

Wen Qing had already walked back into the room, and his figure quickly disappeared into the shadows.
