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

"No. That was the most common feather arrow, without any markings, which was brought by Wumen from Luoyang. It has nothing to do with you in any way." Gu Xu said.

"Escort Agency? What did you mention at that time..." Gu Yue tried to recall, "Hongluo Escort Agency?"

"A pseudonym." Gu Xu answered simply.

"So direct? What if they really come to our door?" Gu Yue asked subconsciously.

Gu Xu looked at him with an expression of "how is this possible".

Gu Yue couldn't figure out why for a moment.

"You think so." Gu Xu explained patiently, "They are just using the excuse of meeting the boss. The real target is you or me. The escort agency is not important at all."

"I see... It's a pity that the fake Wen Qing is dead. We have no way of knowing who is behind them and why they came after us." Gu Yue pondered.

"Is it possible that they pretended to capture someone alive and then accused me of hiring someone to assassinate them?" Gu Yue had an idea.

Gu Xu shook his head: "If we use this method, then King Yin would have proposed it when he returned, and it wouldn't have been delayed until now without any action."

"He thinks that by controlling me, he has also controlled you. Could it be because we performed too hard that day?" Gu Yue was speechless.

Gu Xu said: "Probably so."

"Why did you consciously expose yourself in front of King Yin at that time? I didn't even ask you." Gu Yue said.

He trusted Gu Xu too much, and when Gu Xu evaded him on many matters, he just glossed over them and didn't think about them too much.

Gu Xu did not answer, his attitude was very clear.

"Okay." Gu Yue said, "Maybe I'm thinking too much. If he just threatens someone's life and then bribes me, I guess I'll give in..."

Gu Xu looked at him: "Is this true?"

"How is that possible! I'm not that spineless." Gu Yue quickly proved his innocence.

It was too difficult. Wen Qing's incident hadn't been resolved yet, and here came the King of Yin. What went wrong that made the King of Yin so sure that he would take sides?

It doesn't matter if you are caught with a small braid, the question is where is the braid? !

……

The carriage travelled for several days.

When we got to Luoyang, the official road was obviously bustling. There were many escort teams, especially long teams of horse-drawn carriages with exquisite chestnut wood boxes on them, and the escorts were all calm and sharp. There were also black charcoal carts transporting poultry and livestock, fodder and firewood...

The most common ones were luxurious horse-drawn carriages, many of which were accompanied by guards.

Gu Yue really wanted to go into Luoyang City and take a look.

What was Luoyang like when it was at its most prosperous? I really want to go there, but now is not the time to go to Beijing.

He and Gu Xu even hid in the carriage for the entire day and even ate their meals in the carriage, for fear of being recognized by someone and making the already serious situation even more complicated.

Su Yingjian was also very honest and never found the chance to talk to Gu Xu.

The Su family is at the center of the storm, and King Yin has just visited them. This is really not the time to be in the limelight.

The group didn't get off the car to get some fresh air until they passed Luoyang and the official road became sparsely populated again.

Originally, they slept on the floor at night, and the secret guards took turns on duty, so they slept quite comfortably. In the past two days, they rushed to Luoyang, and Gu Yue and Gu Xu did not get off the car, but squeezed in.

Gu Yue had a sore back and waist, so he stretched his arms and legs vigorously as soon as he got off the car.

We parked the car in a forest, and could vaguely see the official road. To the west of Luonan Road, the official road was surrounded by more mountains. The hills rose and fell, hiding the vast fields behind them.

Gu Yue picked up two old wild vegetables and fed them to the horses pulling the cart.

The black horse looked very strong. Gu Yue touched it again and again and couldn't let it go.

He learned to ride a horse on the way to Yuning Prefecture, but he certainly couldn't ride a horse at a gallop. At most, he could control the direction, and that was when the horse was in a good mood.

The big dark horse in front of me has a very good temper.

Gu Xu walked over with another one following behind him.

"How far are we from Tongshan?" Gu Yue ignored Su Yingjian. After receiving Gu Xu's kiss and many implicit words of comfort, he no longer cared about this rich young master.

It's just like the concubines in the harem competing for favor.

"We have arrived at Tongshan." Gu Xu looked around.

From the forest, it was vaguely visible. The western peaks were connected to other peaks, stretching out in a long stretch. Gu Yue was a poor geographer, and he only knew that Chang'an seemed to be further west. There must be a lot of mountains around there, right?

King Shen’s treasure is in this mountain?

I have that feeling.

Su Yingjian still didn't like him: "Why do you always make Gu Xu worry about you?"

"Chatting about trivial matters can help improve feelings. Master Ying Jian comes from a large family with strict rules. I think he doesn't understand the warmth of ordinary people's families like us. It's understandable." Gu Yue glanced at him and gently took Gu Xu's hand, "right, Xiao Xu?"

"......Yeah." Gu Xu reluctantly supported him.

Su Yingjian was angry: "How do you know I don't understand? My family tradition is serious, but the elders are all kind and amiable, and my father is always with me."

Gu Yue said: "Xiao Xu and I are together every day. We work together, make money together, and share life and death together. What about you?"

Su Yingjian said: "Gu Xu was born with a noble fate, but you made him go through so much hardship and do so many chores. I heard that you often beat and scolded him in the past, is that a lie? Now you are talking about the deep love between father and son, how ridiculous!"

Gu Yue said: "Even if it is true, Xiao Xu should judge right and wrong. He hasn't said anything yet. Why are you, an outsider, pointing fingers here?"

Su Yingjian asked, "How am I an outsider? I am Gu Xu's cousin. Everyone knows that you treated Gu Xu harshly. How can you not say anything? Did you do this wrong?"

Gu Yue said, "You seem to be taking the moral high ground. When Xiao Xu was suffering, where was your cousin? Why didn't you lend a helping hand? Now that you have something to gain, you come to me so eagerly. At that time, you were reluctant to pay twenty taels of silver to redeem Xiao Xu. Why are you acting so high and mighty now?"

Gu Xu had a headache: "Stop arguing."

The two quarreled for five hundred words, and once again began to dislike each other. They snorted coldly and turned their heads away.

Gu Yue thought, it seems that Su Yingjian is from Gu Xu's mother's family. Is there any mention of a family with the surname Ying in the original text?

In the original text, Luoyang's forces were so numerous that he didn't remember the unimportant ones. However, it is possible that this person used a pseudonym, so the reference value is not great.

Patting the horse's neck, Gu Yue was about to find a shade under a tree to rest for a while, when someone suddenly grabbed his clothes on the back and pulled them hard.

With a sound of breaking through the air, an arrow hit the tree trunk where the horse was tied.

The expressions of the secret guards changed greatly.

The big black horse raised its hooves and neighed in fear. Gu Yue quickly moved away. Gu Xu pulled him again and the two of them leaned against a tree.

Arrows rained down, and most of the horses were shot and went crazy, dragging the carriage with them. Luo Dao had already arrived and pulled the frightened Su Yingjian behind the empty carriage.

"Fuck, what's going on!" Gu Yue cursed in a low voice.

The secret guards blocked a wave of arrows and dispersed to be on guard with knives in hand; Shi San suddenly jumped up, unsheathed his hidden knife, and collided with the tip of a sword that was stabbing from the tall bushes in front.

You will be assassinated whenever you go out, what is the halo of the protagonist!

Can we have something good?

Gu Yue took out the dagger in his arms, and protected Gu Xu between him and the tree as if he were facing a powerful enemy.
