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

Gu Xu pondered for a moment and soon came up with an answer.

"I introduced her to the eldest princess who was meditating in Qingxu Temple. It was she who took Yu Weishuang away when she came to Beijing for the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet." Gu Xu explained.

"Oh..." Gu Yue was stunned.

Qin Zhaohong, who is it?

The eldest princess?

Is there such a person?

"How do you know the eldest princess?" Gu Yue asked, "I have never heard of this person."

"She is someone from Wumen." Gu Xu thought this was the truth. "She is... the prince's biological sister, born to the Empress Dowager. However, she is a low-key person and has been meditating in the temple, so she is not very famous."

Gu Yue nodded. No impression at all.

"Is this person reliable? But you have always had a good eye, so there should be no problem." Gu Yue said.

I poured Gu Xu a cup of fruit tea, which was made by washing wild berries from the forest, mashing them into juice, filtering out the residue, and then adding tea water. The ancient fruit flavor was strong and sweet, and it was delicious without adding extra sugar.

Gu Xu took a sip and his attention was drawn to the drink in the bamboo cup in his hand.

"Is this... the method you heard?" The fruit flavor was sweet and rich, and the tea leaves were brewed just right, showing that they were very attentive. Gu Xu was also used to Gu Yue's excuses, so he asked.

"There is a reference." Gu Yue said modestly, "How is it, not bad, right?"

You can tell by the look of his face that it tastes delicious!

Gu Xu praised: "I like it."

Gu Yue's expression suddenly became proud.

"By the way, why did you go to look for Yu Weishuang?" He didn't forget the previous topic. "Is it dangerous to go to Luoyang now?"

You need an ID card to enter or leave the city - it's a pass, and his face...

Oh, Wuyun seems to be able to change his appearance.

"We only do things in secret and won't do it in the open. Yu Weishuang...she is going back to the Yu family, and I need to help her with some things." Gu Xu said.

Gu Yue was very conflicted.

Gu Xu looked at him and thought, this man was very attentive when he first met Yu Weishuang, but he never mentioned her again afterwards, making him unable to figure out what this man was thinking.

Now, he is holding the bamboo cup with his hand, with a strange expression, as if he is a little... uneasy?

Gu Xu waited patiently for him to speak.

Gu Yue hesitated for a long time before asking, "What do you think of Yu Weishuang?"

Gu Xu's heart skipped a beat.

"She's very smart," replied Honestly.

"Anything else?" Gu Yue secretly looked at Gu Xu's expression.

"And? Hmm..." Gu Xu thought about it, and couldn't think of any other words to describe Yu Weishuang. His only impression of this ally was that he was smart.

Gu Yue slapped his forehead. What was he struggling with?

The male and female protagonists are made for each other, and they like each other, which is normal! Why is he asking this?

...If Gu Xu was not interested in her, he certainly wouldn't force it.

The knot in my heart seemed to have untied.

"Can I go with you?" Gu Yue asked.

"It's too dangerous. No." Gu Xu flatly refused.

"..."

“…” Gu Xu took a breath.

……

Half a month later, in a grove outside Luoyang City.

"Just stay here and don't move. I will be in the city for three days at most." Gu Xu warned Gu Yue, who had changed his appearance drastically.

Gu Yue wondered if this was the opposite of what was said.

"Okay, you must be careful." He smiled and waved at Gu Xu.

The original intention was to go to Luoyang with Gu Xu, but thinking of his sensitive identity and his ordinary body that had been trained by Shi San for nearly a month without any results, he decided not to hold him back.

In fact, it is not impossible to stay in the courtyard and wait for him to come back, but Gu Yue feels that since all the work has been done by the male protagonist, isn't he just a cannon fodder?

Besides...

Ok……

The hero's love story is also the main storyline!

If I want to get rid of the status of cannon fodder, how can I not participate in the main storyline? Gu Yue persuaded himself.

Gu Xu left with a group of Wumen secret guards.

This forest was on the hillside, far from the official road. Climbing up the hillside to the highest point, one could see a field in the distance, near the moat, but it was guarded by people who looked like imperial guards.

"What kind of field is that? Why are you still watching it?" Gu Yue scratched his face, he was bitten by a mosquito, "I think it's just ordinary wheat."

Shi San shook his head. He was not familiar with the capital of Northern Qin.

"I really want to go into the city to have a look. Luoyang City must be very prosperous." Gu Yue looked at the towering city. The imperial city seemed to be on the distant plain behind. There were fields in the center, separated by the inner city river. From this hillside, you could vaguely see the flowing water in the river.

"Go into the city?" Shi San asked.

He certainly had the ability to keep Gu Yue in Luoyang City, as long as his employer did not ask him to enter the imperial city to assassinate the emperor.

Of course Gu Yue was tempted, but when Gu Xu asked him not to wander around, he obeyed.

He has read a lot of online novels. Even if he is the second male lead, he will be doomed if he disobeys the protagonist and acts on his own.

This is an iron rule.

Shaking his head, Gu Yue held onto the tree and walked down the hillside, returning to the tent and carriage they had set up in a sheltered place leeward.

……

Night falls.

In Luoyang city, Yu family’s rear residence.

It has been a few days since Yu Weishuang returned to the Yu family.

Yu's step-wife originally wanted to take advantage of Qiao and hang Yu Weishuang for a few days, so that she would beg to come back home. However, after word spread in the city that Yu Weishuang was deeply loved by the eldest princess and had attended several banquets for noble ladies, she could no longer sit still.

As the mistress of the Yu family and because of Yu Weishuang, she wanted to meet the eldest princess, but was rejected. The head of the Yu family ordered her to send another invitation, so after three requests, the new lady finally got the opportunity to meet the princess.

Qin Zhaohong had no intention of fighting with her, and immediately gave her a warning when they met, accusing her of being harsh to her stepdaughter and having no moral integrity. Mrs. Yu was very embarrassed, but she was afraid of offending the princess who was quite famous among the noble ladies, so she had to make promises again and again and welcomed Yu Weishuang back home.

Yu Weishuang sat in the room, feeling a little sleepy.

Someone knocked on the window, and she immediately asked the maid given to her by Qin Zhaohong to guard the main door while she opened the window.

Gu Xu flipped in.

"...Do you have to meet like this?" Yu Weishuang looked helpless.

He poured a cup of hot water for Gu Xu and they sat down at the table.

"You are now a member of the inner house again, how do you go out?" Gu Xu said, "Tell me the situation."

"I have found out in the past few days that most of my mother's property is controlled by the steward. They are people brought by the stepmother and are very difficult to deal with." Yu Weishuang said.

"Do you have any solution?" Gu Xu asked.

"Yes, not all the people my mother left behind were killed. A few capable ones have already been contacted." Yu Weishuang said.

"Just kill the steward." Gu Xu said.

“……”Yu Weishuang was silent for a moment.

"Have you gained Qin Zhaohong's trust?" Gu Xu asked.

"Yes... But isn't it a bit radical to kill people directly? It will be easy for people to find fault with us." Yu Weishuang was quite helpless.

"I need your help with something very important. I don't have time to fight with them." Gu Xu stood up. "I will work with Qin Zhaohong on this matter. You should prepare as soon as possible."

"I understand." Yu Weishuang said, "Don't worry."

She smiled and said, "Say hello to Uncle Dashi for me."

"The generation is wrong." Gu Xu said. He walked past the window and disappeared into the night.
