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

Then Gu Yue felt that this reaction was wrong. Why did it seem like he was afraid that someone would hear it?

Just kidding!

"I don't go to brothels." Gu Yue smiled fakely.

"Brother Dashi is very self-disciplined! That's a good thing." Hele said with a smile, "But I'm not sure if there's anything interesting near Kiriyama, and there doesn't seem to be any delicious food there."

"I understand, thank you." Gu Yue stood up and said goodbye.

Hele saw them out.

……

In the days before preparation for departure, Gu Yue inquired in various restaurants and teahouses in Liuli Town, but did not get any information about the treasure of King Shen of Tongshan.

It is said that Tongshan is farther away from Yuning Prefecture than Liuli Town. How come we can't hear any news from the vicinity of Yuning Prefecture when we arrive in Liuli Town?

But this is also a good thing.

If the treasure really came out, it would definitely cause a stir. Whether it was stolen by thieves or seized by the government, there should be some trace. Now there is no news... Either it is false news, or those people left without finding the treasure.

Whether it’s true or not, we’ll tell after we go there.

Gu Yue packed his luggage, left Lu Junmei and her family to stay at the house temporarily, and set off with a group of thugs.

A team of three carriages with boxes on the back set out from the entrance of Liuli Town. They still took the official road, but this time they were heading west, towards Luoyang.

When passing through Sushui County, Gu Yue went to the county to hand in the latest manuscript. This time, Su Zhen's people did not appear. Instead, a plain-looking steward took his place. After hearing Gu Yue's name, he accepted the manuscript respectfully.

Gu Yue asked him about Tongshan. This manager was knowledgeable and had the latest news from Hangdou Books and Newspapers. Unfortunately, he didn't have any clues, and he couldn't even be sure whether the treasure existed.

How could such an interesting thing not be published?

The more Gu Yue thought about it, the more he felt it was impossible. Although the original text described the treasure in detail and also stated the details of how Gu Xu obtained the treasure, how could Gu Yue remember something as unimportant as a place name?

There are many novels that Gu Yue can recite in full, but this male-oriented harem novel that fell apart in the later stages is definitely not one of them.

……

Su Yingjian and Luodao settled down by a creek.

When he was away from home, Luo Dao still took on the responsibilities of a servant and served Su Yingjian quite diligently.

He took a piece of rain cloth-like material from the carriage, spread it on the ground, and then assembled the pile of "mechanical recliners that Uncle Seventh brought from the northwest". Then Su Yingjian lay comfortably under the willow tree.

"At this time of year, it's warm but not hot. It's really comfortable." Su Yingjian said, taking out the letter from his arms and unfolding it again.

His face quickly turned serious.

Luo Dao sat down next to the recliner and took a short rest.

"Oh! This is what happened." Su Yingjian sighed, "In the end, he was involved in the power struggle. I really can't understand why King Yin, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, has so many tricks. How did they get together?"

"Qin Shu was born noble, he is young, and he was raised by Empress Yuan. It is normal for him to have such ambitions." Luo Dao said.

"He is ambitious and really doesn't care about the life and death of our Su family." Su Yingjian looked gloomy. "If he succeeds to the throne, our Su family, which has flourished and has the merit of following the dragon, will probably be the first to be killed."

"No." Luo Dao said.

"What can't you do?"

"If the Su family really obeys King Yin, I'm afraid they will die in conspiracy before King Yin ascends the throne." The knife-wielding hand supported his back, "Let me think about it, how about accusing them of conspiracy with the prince? Or assassinating the emperor. I think the emperor won't even investigate, and will directly convict and confiscate the family property."

"That's really scary!" Su Yingjian's hair stood on end.

"So, it is necessary for you to investigate first." Luo Dao glanced at him with a smile, "The future of the Su family depends on you."

"I know. We talked to them before, so we do have some advantages." Su Yingjian stopped lying down and sat up, looking worried. "Gu Dashi is not a good person. I have to be careful, so as not to alarm King Yin."

He stood up: "No more rest, I'm not in the mood! Luodao, let's go."

"Lie down for a while. You didn't sleep well last night." Luo Dao didn't move.

"This is urgent!" Su Yingjian kicked him.

"Don't worry, people won't die in a short time." Luodao said.

"I think you are weak." Su Yingjian crossed his arms and said coldly.

“……” Luo Dao raised his eyes.

As the two men were in a stalemate, a team of horse-drawn carriages slowly drove up the official road not far from the river.

Luo Dao stood up.

"Let's pack up and go to Liuli Town." Su Yingjian thought he had compromised and was about to get into the carriage.

"No need to go." Luo Dao said.

"what?"

Su Yingjian saw him nodding his chin in the distance. Turning around, he saw the team of carriages heading west, with two people, one tall and one short, sitting on the shaft of the first carriage, followed by several people who looked like guards.

Su Yingjian tried hard to squint his eyes.

"That's Gu Xu and Gu Dashi, right?!" Su Yingjian's eyes widened.

"Well, go ahead and have a chance encounter." Luo Dao quickly put away his things, and in a flash, the ground was empty.

"Wait, when we first met, did we exchange names?" Su Yingjian was very cautious, but had a bad memory.

"You only remember his name is Dashi." Luo Dao said. He climbed onto the carriage, and Su Yingjian was also pulled up by him. The horse pulled the carriage flexibly around, changed direction, and chased after Gu Yue's convoy.

……

Gu Yue was just feeling thankful that nothing happened on the way to Luoyang when Wu Feng came up on horseback.

"Master, there is a carriage following behind. The driver is a martial artist." Wu Feng said.

The secret guards no longer need to pretend.

"Ah? There are a few people. Is there an ambush in the surrounding mountains?" Gu Yue became nervous.

"No, just two people." Wu Feng shook his head.

Shi San had already jumped off the carriage.

The car behind was fast and agile, and in just a moment they were running neck and neck with the others.

Su Yingjian stuck his head out of the carriage window and greeted happily, "What a coincidence!"

Gu Yue choked.

This is not the one...

that……

The bastard who was cheated out of twenty taels of silver by their father and son and Li Taohua?

The convoy stopped and people on both sides got out of the cars.

Shi San's eyes met Luo Dao's. After a moment of stalemate, Luo Dao nodded in greeting.

Shi San didn't respond.

Luo Dao just smiled, and there was a hint of interest in his eyes when he looked at Gu Yue.

In this whole team...he was the only one who didn't have any martial arts skills.

"It's you, what a coincidence." Gu Yue smiled, "What are you doing?"

"Your name is Dashi, right?" Su Yingjian also smiled, without any of the airs of a rich young man who had just met him on a narrow road. "I didn't expect that we are destined to be together."

The latter sentence sounded somewhat resentful, as if he was still resentful of the fact that they had teamed up to cheat him out of his money.

Gu Yue was embarrassed: "Yes, my name is Gu Dashi, and this is my son, Gu Xu."

Gu Xu smiled. He had no ill feelings towards this man who looked a lot like him.

"My name is Ying Jian." Su Ying Jian concealed his last name. "This is my bodyguard Luo Dao. I thought you were from Liuli Town. Are you going home?"

It was a typical cliché and Gu Yue recognized it immediately.
