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

Almost as soon as the front of the carriage of King Yin entered the woods outside the city, an arrow flew through the air. The driver almost immediately drew his sword to cut off the arrow, but more arrows were shot at him like rain. The driver frantically resisted and drove the horse towards the direction of King Yin's palace.

Qin Shu crouched in the carriage and heard the sound of dense arrows hitting the wall. His thoughts raced, who was trying to kill him?

He has always maintained a non-confrontational appearance, and the power in his hands is also under the banner of the Fifth Prince. It should not be...

The jolt continued for a while, and Qin Shu heard the driver shouting, "Your Highness! The carriage has entered the palace, and we will go to meet the enemy now!"

Qin Shu's mind suddenly lit up, and he yelled, "You are not allowed to go! Close the gate immediately!"

The driver was stunned: "This?"

Qin Shu said: "Go do it!"

"Yes!" The coachman jumped off the carriage.

Soon, he heard the boiling voices and footsteps outside. Qin Shu lifted the curtain and saw a circle of guards surrounding the car. The head of the guards, Qin Xian, came to the car, clasped his fists and said respectfully, "Your Highness, are you not hurt?"

"I'm fine. Send a few guards out to see who is the assassin. Be sure to stay hidden and don't alert anyone." Qin Shu got out of the car and ordered, "Where's Qin Gan?"

The driver had just returned and came forward upon hearing this: "Your Highness. There is no attack on the palace from outside."

"They dare not." Besieging the palace was a serious crime, and even the emperor could not ignore it. Qin Shu asked, "Tell me what happened just now."

Qin Gan said, "I was driving my carriage on the road. Soon after I reached the section of the road where there were no stone bricks in the bamboo forest, I heard some unusual movements in the forest. Before I could react, arrows were shot out, followed by a rain of arrows. After I drove my horse at full speed to get rid of them, the back wall of the carriage was also hit by arrows."

"The first arrow was aimed at the carriage window, and then it seemed to be fired randomly. I didn't see the whereabouts of the person in the bamboo forest. I'm afraid he only wanted to assassinate us and didn't want to conflict with us."

"I've been living a peaceful life for too long, and I've become a little lazy." Qin Shu narrowed his eyes. He only brought one guard with him when he went out, and disguised himself as a coachman, in order to better integrate with his "commoner" friends, and secondly, he himself was also very skilled in martial arts.

Soon after Qin Shu returned to the study, the leader Qin Xian came in, knelt on one knee, and reported: "There are some footprints in the forest, but no human figures. I think they left without succeeding."

"Have those arrows been investigated?" Qin Shu asked.

"We can only confirm that the arrow's style originated from the Luozhou area. The rest are common styles and there is no difference." Qin Xian took out an arrow from his arms and presented it to Qin Shu's desk.

Qin Shu picked up the arrow and looked at it carefully.

He felt a familiar feeling when he touched it. There were some natural patterns on the feathers of the arrow tail. Qin Shu flicked the arrow feathers with his fingers and sneered: "I know, you can go down."

Qin Xian took his leave and left the study.

Qin Shu's adviser asked, "Your Highness, have you thought of anything?"

"Look at this arrow feather." Qin Shu threw the arrow to him.

"The pattern on it is very strange. As far as I know, most arrow feathers are made of white goose feathers, but this arrow has brown feathers." The counselor replied, "Is there something special about this feather?"

Qin Shu said: "The arrows used by the royal children in the palace are all made by the special arrow workshop of the Imperial Army Camp. In the past, they did use goose feathers, but..."

"what do you mean?"

"The royal goose farm supplies goose feathers to the Arrow House. A few years ago, the fleet that went out to sea brought back large geese called Lion's Head from the Arab Empire. They must have multiplied a lot by now." Qin Shu's eyes turned cold.

The counselor suddenly realized.

……

The next day, the doorman announced that someone came to ask for a visit.

Qin Shu received this person. This person came from the capital to convey the government order to the Yin Palace.

Qin Shu was surprised and said, "Although I have a fiefdom near Huaizhong Prefecture, I do not ask about the political affairs there. The government office will receive the decree and then inform me of the content. Did you pass on the wrong decree?"

The man was dressed in the uniform of a palace messenger. Hearing this, he just smiled and said, "This is a document issued by the Secretariat. I am just following orders and don't know the reason."

King Yin looked puzzled and took a look at the document. It was the nationwide order to eradicate poisonous weeds that was issued a few months ago.

Qin Shu's face didn't look very good at that time.

The butler at the side took a look at it and said angrily, "You little servant, how could you be so careless in doing your job? This is an old order from a few months ago. Why are you giving it to His Highness at this time?"

The messenger still smiled and said, "Your Highness, I am just following orders. I don't know the reason. The date on it is also new. Please take a look."

Qin Shu looked at the signature and saw that it was indeed issued recently.

His expression changed several times, and finally he put his seal on it and let the messenger go.

The housekeeper asked, "What does this mean?"

Qin Shu's face was extremely ugly: "I'm afraid the emperor has suspected me. What is the flaw?"

……

Liuli Town Martial Arts School.

Several apprentice rooms that were originally against the outer wall had their inner walls connected to the outer wall facing the street. A dozen workers were rebuilding the stones to make windows.

"Build a stove here, a sink over here. Put a shelf over here." Gu Yue stood in the yard and watched the work. He said to Gu Xu, "There is something called... traffic flow design. For example, if you wash on this side, you can move to the right to prepare the food, move to the right again to put the pot in, and move to the right again to take it out of the pot. This can greatly improve efficiency."

Gu Xu thought for a moment and said, "Should we arrange the positions of the stove and sink according to the cooking process? This will prevent them from walking around and causing chaos when making fried chicken."

"That's right." Gu Yue nodded repeatedly.

Gu Xu really didn't care about these details. He looked at Gu Yue and smiled, "Where did you come up with these ideas?"

"I...heard it from someone." Gu Yue now always puts the blame on non-existent passers-by.

"Again, a casino? There are so many talented people there. I guess we'll have to go there to recruit employees next time." Gu Xu taunted him.

Gu Yue smiled awkwardly.

He can't say that his father taught him in Hawaii!

"Thank you so much for this time." Gu Yue said sincerely.

"Didn't you say that we are family?" Gu Xu glanced at him, emphasizing the word "family" and said, "It's just a small matter."

"Are there no objections inside Wumen? Just separate this row of houses to serve as our storefront. Where will the disciples live?" Gu Yue asked.

"They listen to me on the surface. This little thing is nothing. You don't have to worry about other things." Gu Xu said.

Gu Yue suddenly fell into deep thought.

Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, Gu Xu looked puzzled.

"Oh! I was thinking about that day when I asked them to hold the apprenticeship ceremony, but they kept making excuses and looked so weird." Gu Yue suddenly realized, "So they already knew your identity at that time."
