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

Gu Yue's face suddenly fell.

There were only a table of people around them, separated by a screen. But the voices of the people talking became quieter, and Gu Xu said, "Let Wu Feng go, he's better at spying and eavesdropping."

"I can." Shi Sanye said.

Gu Yue was of course assured of the secret guards' work, but...

"Wen Qing is cunning, so you have to be very careful with anything related to him. And the Baoshun Pharmacy is not an ordinary matter. If that thing is really circulating, Guozhou Prefecture is so big, there must be someone with martial arts skills monitoring it."

Gu Yue said, his eyes swept over the secret guards: "Those of you who are good at martial arts, can't you easily tell whether someone is good at martial arts? What if there is someone with strong martial arts skills in this pharmacy? Wouldn't it alert the enemy?"

Everyone was silent.

"Then you can't go even more." Gu Xu said.

"No, I don't have any martial arts skills, so they can't see it." Gu Yue said.

"The way you walk is very conspicuous." Gu Xu said.

Really? Gu Yue looked at the secret guards, and they all nodded, even Shi San nodded.

"...That's perfect. I'll pretend to go and check on their legs and take the opportunity to chat with them." Gu Yue said.

"No means no." Gu Xu's face darkened.

"You are the father and I am the father? Whatever I say is fine!" Gu Yue got a little angry.

Gu Xu rubbed his eyebrows.

"Why are you so anxious? Now is not a good time to step forward." Gu Xu advised patiently, "Baoshun Pharmacy is right here, it won't run away."

"Because I regret it, I don't want to give the credit to Qin Zhaoyue." Gu Yue said in a low voice.

Gu Xu wanted to laugh, but couldn't.

"About my parents?"

"Well, I don't think he is a good person." Gu Yue said.

"Although he got a great advantage in this matter, Jingcun is still a reliable person." Gu Xu's expression eased, "You don't have to put yourself in danger."

"You...but if you want to investigate what happened back then, it's important to have power in your hands. By using this incident at the pharmacy, you can gain credit. It would be best if you could get an official position at that time." Gu Yue said very bluntly.

"..."Gu Xu was silent for a moment.

His idea was indeed good, and it was a shortcut for ordinary people who wanted to climb up. They had never thought of taking the imperial examination because the situation did not allow it and neither of them was suitable for it.

"I have also thought about what we should do after we find out the truth about this matter. Since your identity is sensitive, let me be the one who takes the lead. In this way, King Yin and the Crown Prince will both believe that they have a relationship with me. If it works well, maybe they can support me." Gu Yue had already thought of the next plan along the way, "Then you can operate behind the scenes without attracting attention."

He thought he didn't have the ability to be an official, but Gu Xu did.

As for why I want to be an official...

It was easy for those people, including the emperor, to kill a commoner, but it was no small matter to kill an official. As long as they didn't kill people with a knife right away, those power struggles would not escape the rules of novels and would not be too complicated.

Can’t be a commoner!

"Do you understand? So it is very important for us to seize the initiative." Gu Yue continued to persuade: "We can't wait any longer."

Gu Xu said nothing. He was unwilling to let Gu Yue take risks anymore.

"Don't worry, it's best if I go. These people are least guarded against ordinary people like me. Even if I am recognized, they won't kill me with one knife... By then I will make some noise, and you can just rush in to save me." Gu Yue patted his chest and promised.

Gu Xu looked at Shi San. Wasn't this man still worried in Tongshan? Why didn't he express his opinion now?

unreliable.

Shi San of course said nothing. He never interfered with his boss's decision-making. He was only responsible for protecting Gu Yue's life.

"Okay. But you must be careful." Gu Xu relented.

"Okay, okay, Xiao Xu is so good! Let's eat quickly, and then go back to the room to prepare." Gu Yue was overjoyed, he had a place to use his skills again, "I just have a brilliant idea, and only I can use it..."

……

After a good night's rest, Gu Yue, who had disguised himself, appeared on the street at dawn the next day.

The disguise technique that Wu Feng knew was actually a kind of advanced makeup technique. It used some hard-to-wash-off plant colors as highlights and shadows to modify the original facial shape and bones, making the person look like another person.

At this time, Gu Dashi was dressed in ordinary clothes, but his face was haggard and he had a stubble of beard, and he looked twenty years older. The scar on his head was completely covered up, and he also changed the style of the crown, looking like a middle-aged man from an ordinary family with poor health.

Gu Yue staggered to the door of Baoshun Pharmacy.

He deliberately exaggerated the extent of his limp so that anyone looking over would know that there was something wrong with his leg.

Of course, it also covered up his original slightly lame gait.

Baoshun Pharmacy was already open. The clerk at the door was sweeping the floor. Seeing Gu Yue walking into the house, he approached him in confusion: "What are you doing? This is not a clinic. You should go somewhere else to see a doctor."

"I'll get the medicine, quick, give me some painkillers, boil them directly, and they will work immediately." Gu Yue said weakly. His face was very pale, his brows were tightly knitted, and he seemed to be enduring great pain.

"Please come in first. Do you have a prescription?" The waiter helped him up.

As soon as Gu Yue entered the room, he looked for a chair, held on to the armrests, sat down tremblingly, and stretched out his right calf.

The guy just waited for him to speak.

Gu Yue's face wrinkled into a pile, and he cursed: "What kind of prescription is this! This entire state city is full of quacks!"

The guy was shocked by him: "Why do you say that?"

"Quack! I've boiled thousands of bowls of this medicine and spent hundreds of dollars, but my leg still hurts so much. Quack, quack!" Gu Yue's eyes turned red and he cried bitterly, "I was so exhausted last night that I couldn't sleep the whole night! Wuuuuu..."

"Oh, you're gone." The waiter quickly took a handkerchief and said, "Do you want some painkillers? But we can't get them without a prescription."

Gu Yue grabbed the handkerchief and the clerk's hand, staring at him with red eyes: "You must have some good prescription, right! I have been seeking medical treatment all the way from Huainan Road to here, but no one can relieve my leg pain! I heard that your Baoshun Pharmacy is a time-honored brand with a lot of good medicine. It took a long time to get here by ox cart. You must save me..."

As he spoke, Gu Yue took out a five-liang silver ingot and put it into the clerk's hand: "Is that enough? Are these enough?"

"This..." The guy's eyes rolled around.

"Wait here." He left Gu Yue behind and went behind the curtain.

The clerk went into the small room at the back of the pharmacy. After a while, a muffled curse came from inside: "Idiot!"

Gu Yue's heart shuddered.

The manager of the medicine shop gently lifted the curtain and looked into the lobby. Gu Yue, who looked like a middle-aged man, was rubbing his legs in pain, beating them from time to time, with tears on his face.

"Boss, is there something wrong with this guy?" The guy was very nervous.
