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

"Do you know him?" Gu Yue asked immediately when he saw his unusual reaction.

"..."Gu Xu remained silent.

Gu Yue did not ask any more questions, but just stood quietly by the side. Gu Xu rarely showed such a solemn expression, and seemed to be angry. It took a long time before he spoke.

"Tell me all your conversations again in detail." Gu Xu said.

"Okay. Let's go back to Liuli Town first. Luoyang is not safe now." Gu Yue said, "The Hidden Dragon Guards may control various checkpoints. We need to leave quickly."

Gu Xu nodded. Gu Yue took his wrist and led him away. Seeing this, Wu Yan, Wu Feng and Wu Yun stepped forward, checked the body, and buried it properly.

There really were no more clues here.

The group set off for home.

……

"... That's the situation. This is everything that person has." Gu Yue placed a small box in front of Gu Xu, "Look at you... Could it be that the tattoo is related to the case of Prince Shen?"

Otherwise, I can't think of anything else that could cause such a big emotional fluctuation in him.

The political plots in the original text were still in the works, and Gu Xu's previous actions happened to hit upon Prince Shen's clues.

One of the reasons was to push him forward to take the opportunity to get acquainted with King Yin. From Qin Shu's performance, it could be seen that he knew something about King Shen and tried to win them over. Later, he came up with a recipe for braised food and almost made them fall into his trap.

The second reason is to help Yu Weishuang. Although this is a coincidence, Yu Weishuang has received help and has returned to the capital. The various intelligence provided to Gu Xu in the original text will probably be quickly investigated by her, not to mention the case of Prince Shen, which is not a secret.

The third is to contact and threaten Sarhan. Gu Yue could not see what actual role Gu Xu played in this matter, but a series of events that followed exposed Sarhan's collusion with Wen Qing and Tang Wuling. As the counselor behind the third prince, it is unlikely that Wen Qing had nothing to do with the incident of Prince Shen.

And now there is the mysterious man in red being hunted by Tang Wuling. Just by chance, the man in red ran into them, and Gu Yue got the strange name of Lingfeng Pavilion out of him. And then it was linked to the tattoo incident, and the two were compared...

I'm afraid that from the first day Gu Xu came into contact with Wumen, he had been planning to investigate his own life experience, and then tried to find out the complicated relationship behind the case of Prince Shen.

...The male protagonist is so strong!

Gu Yue thought so.

Gu Xu replied: "Yes."

"Tell me about it?" Gu Yue asked.

"I only have one clue. The information about this tattoo was originally told to me by a subordinate in Prince Shen's mansion. The situation was urgent at the time, and he only had time to give this pattern to me." Gu Xu said.

"What are the details? Why can this person only tell you so little? Is he dead? Who did it?" Gu Yue asked.

He has the original text in his hand, so it is not impossible for him to infer the mastermind behind the scenes.

Gu Xu raised his eyes and looked at him.

Seeing this, Gu Yue immediately said, "If you are in trouble, you don't have to tell me."

It was true that Gu Xu was hiding something from him, but he had already figured out that he didn't say anything not because he didn't trust him, but for some other reason, so... he wasn't that unhappy.

“……”Gu Xu grabbed his hand.

Gu Yue blinked and squeezed his palm.

"This pattern is what that person left behind with all his might before he died," said Gu Xu.

"He wants you to investigate the case of Prince Shen's Mansion and avenge Prince Shen?" Gu Yue asked, "Lingfeng Pavilion...what is the relationship between it and Prince Shen?"

"What do you think?" Gu Xu looked at him. "The person left behind a painting, which is this tattoo on the knuckle of the little finger."

Vixens are always smart.

"Let me think about it." Gu Yue held his finger. "Most people try to directly name the murderer in their messages before they die, right? So I think this tattoo must be the characteristic of a person who was closely related to the rebellion of Prince Shen, that is, Lingfeng Pavilion. Lingfeng Pavilion may be a subordinate force of some vested interests, or it may be a traitor in the Prince Shen's mansion."

"In short... Prince Shen is plotting treason, and the death of Prince Shen's family will definitely bring him benefits." Gu Yue said.

He stroked his chin and said, "Hiss... So the late emperor who was always worried that Prince Shen would use that army to rebel is very suspicious. But he has been dead for so many years. Since this person was able to leave you information, it means that the mastermind is still alive."

The carriage was a bit bumpy, and Gu Yue held on to the carriage with one hand.

"We can start by investigating along the line of Lingfeng Pavilion, and pay attention to people with similar tattoos on their hands. Since he has the ability to plan such a big incident of framing the King of a different surname, he must not be some unknown organization." Gu Yue continued.

Gu Xu listened quietly and nodded.

The hand that held his was clean, with only calluses and no tattoos.

He suddenly said: "I..."

"What?" Gu Yue looked at him.

Gu Xu frowned. He didn't continue talking, but changed the subject: "King Yin and Qin Zhaoyue's lairs have been in trouble one after another, and the emperor has also set his sights on them. I think these people will settle down in the near future."

Gu Yue smiled and said, "Indeed. You don't have to worry too much. We have no clues about this matter. We should wait for them to take action before we can find any traces. You have been tired recently."

"We don't have any people in the Hidden Dragon Guard." Gu Xu said.

"It's not easy to place someone there. The Hidden Dragon Guards seem to belong to the emperor, right?" Gu Yue said. He took out a water bag and handed it to Gu Xu.

Gu Xu took two sips from the water bag and his mood calmed down a little.

He knocked on the wall of the car and asked Wu Feng who was driving in front: "Where are the things I bought?"

Wu Feng said "oh".

After a while, a three-layer oil-paper package was handed in through the window.

"I bought this for you." Gu Xu opened a few packages.

"This is the braised food from Jin Ya Fang. I've tried it and it tastes exactly the same as the one we've always used." Gu Xu said.

The other two were pastries.

The white sweet-scented osmanthus cake and a bag of mooncakes were fragrant as soon as they were opened. Gu Yue was indeed hungry. When they escaped from the camp, they did not bring much dry food with them. In the past few days, they only picked wild fruits and hunted birds to fill their stomachs.

Gu Xu picked up a large piece of five-nut mooncake, broke it into two halves, and handed one half to Gu Yue.

"I also brought some good things for you." Gu Xu gradually calmed down and his eyes became gentle again.

"What good stuff?" Gu Yue was very interested.

"Let's talk about it when we get back." Gu Xu smiled.

The two people ate snacks face to face.

Gu Xu knew that being impatient was useless. He had already tried to test Qin Zhaoyue with the knuckle tattoo, but had not gotten any useful results.

emperor?

Or someone in the royal family?

Or is it some minister with evil intentions?

What he wanted to know was what role Qin Zhaoyue played in this whole conspiracy.

The carriage swayed as it headed towards the distant town of Liuli.
