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

Gu Yue pulled him and said, "Did you notice the man in green clothes who passed by us at the door?"

Gu Xu nodded, and the two sat down at the round table.

"Fortunately, we are in disguise, so he won't recognize us if we meet him." Gu Yue was afraid, "With his cleverness, if we show up in Luoyang, we will probably attract his attention immediately."

"You know he is very smart, why?" Gu Xu couldn't figure it out.

Empathy among smart people.

"For the Third Prince to be able to compete with Qin Zhaoyue must be due to his contribution," said Gu Yue.

He immediately heard Gu Xu's doubts, but he still evaded them.

The closer he got to Gu Xu, for some reason, the more difficult it was for him to confess his origins.

How to explain?

You mean Gu Xu is a character in a book?

Gu Xu couldn't guess how he would react to this, nor did he dare to guess. He also didn't know what the consequences would be if the "male protagonist" of this world knew about things outside of his domain.

It was difficult for him to regard Gu Xu as "a fictional character", but the essence remained unchanged.

He collected himself.

"What's more important is that the man who was walking with Wen Qing was wearing a bamboo hat." Gu Yue continued, "His appearance looked very familiar to me."

"Qin Zhaoning?" Gu Xu asked.

"That's impossible. If he and Wen Qing have anything to discuss, can't they just talk about it in the mansion? Why do they have to run outside?" Gu Yue laid down on the table.

Gu Xu poured him a cup of tea: "What do you think?"

“To be able to eat at Caiwei Tower, either Caiwei Tower is related to someone among them, or that person is also a noble, and an ordinary restaurant is not worthy of his status.” Gu Yue opened his mouth, indicating that he wanted to eat the peanut crisps on the table.

Gu Xu pinched a piece and put it in his open mouth.

Gu Yue chewed.

Gu Xu said: "Zhen Suhang should be very familiar with the owner behind a big restaurant like Caiweilou."

"Well, we'll ask him when the time comes." Gu Yue said vaguely, "To be on the safe side, you'd better disguise yourself when you go out."

Then he took a sip of tea. Normally, the tea in this luxurious inn should be of high quality, but Gu Yue could not taste anything different and could only praise it as delicious.

"It doesn't matter. Wen Qing and Tang Wuling have some connections. Wen Qing might have some clues about the person Tang Wuling wants to kill." Gu Yue said, "If he doesn't move, we don't need to provoke him for the time being. If he comes to cause trouble... there are clues to catch him."

Gu Yue couldn't help but recall their encounter on the official road that day.

When Wen Qing was about to attack, he stepped forward to stop him. This shows that this person is very likely to have martial arts skills and is confident that he can kill Qin Zhaoyue under heavy protection. If he fights alone...

This person shouldn't be so unreasonable!

Wen Qing would not be able to capture him and start torturing him.

stressed.

A hand fell overhead.

Gu Xu touched his loose hair and said, "Don't worry, I will always follow you."

"...Hmm." Gu Yue was a little confused.

He didn't know to what extent Gu Xu's internal strength had improved as he grew up.

But I have no reason to be confident in his assurance.

……

Because of the narrow encounter with Wen Qing, Gu Yue cancelled his plan to visit Yu Weishuang and Qin Zhaole, and did not even go out to stroll around Luoyang City to experience the local customs and culture - this magical luck of meeting the little boss while having a meal is really scary.

The procedures and arrangements of the book signing event were reported to the inn by the people from Suzhou and Hangzhou.

This was undoubtedly the right thing to do. Although Yue Gu Qianshan's accommodation location would not be made public, it was not a top secret. Wen Qing's men had been squatting outside the inn for a few days, but they did not see the so-called Yue Gu Qianshan go out, so they had no way to check for any clues on him.

They managed to make it to the book signing event safely.

Having been alone with Gu Xu in the inn for several days, I felt that although it was okay, it was a bit boring. Early that morning, Zhen Suhang sent a carriage to pick them up. After disguising themselves, Gu Yue and the three guards got on the carriage.

There are several tails attached to the back.

Gu Yue looked out through the crack in the window. The carriage of Hangdou Bookstore was quite conspicuous, and the streets were full of curious people watching. The news of the book signing event had already spread, but most people couldn't afford to go, so they could only watch the excitement.

Gu Yue felt something was weird.

There were a few people in the crowd who looked very sneaky, with different expressions on their faces. They were clearly following the carriage closely, but unlike the other people, they did not have smiles or expressions of curiosity on their faces, but were rather wary.

"Are those people following us?" Gu Yue asked. He felt a little numb at the back of his neck due to extreme tension.

"Don't be afraid, we still have people on the street." Gu Xu held the back of his hand, "We can't move rashly now."

Gu Yue subconsciously interlocked his fingers with his. This was a habit that Gu Xu had developed when he was still a kid.

The pupils of Suhang, the town opposite, trembled.

No, brother, are you two being a little ambiguous?

Dark Guard literature?

And what's going on here? Are they going to fight? What kind of manpower and what kind of tracking?

Is it related to the palace and that medicine?

Don’t let it affect the book signing event!

That’s one hundred thousand taels of silver!

Of course, only 40,000 taels were given to Yue Gu Qianshan.

Zhen Suhang's thoughts went astray. This may be an astronomical figure for an ordinary citizen, but the class gap in Northern Qin is so serious that the cost of 188 taels for this book is very appropriate in the eyes of those dignitaries.

Moreover, this is not just a simple book signing event. Being able to afford the ticket for a book means that the person has a certain level of strength. It is also worthwhile to make some friends or to help your own children make connections by using the name of reading, a refined activity.

When he arrived at the place, Gu Yue had already adjusted his mood.

Only after getting off the car did he realize that this was a book signing event of an extremely large scale.

Zhen Suhang has rented a waterside garden, which is almost half the size of a football field, with pavilions and towers, and the mist is curling. Under the autumn breeze, the dignitaries who have already arrived have started chatting, and the fragrance of tea is everywhere.

No wonder the process notes sent to him included items such as pitching pots, archery, poetry, horse racing, tea tasting, and wine tasting. The venue was too small to accommodate them! He thought it was just a small venue, and the servants of each family lined up to wait for his autograph... It was that simple.

There must be hundreds of people here, right?

Zhen Suhang took advantage of the fact that no one was around and explained to Gu Yue, who had a calm expression, "This time it's not all about you. You're more like an excuse. Don't worry, just sit and write. The cooler you are, the more they will flatter you."

The signing event began with a speech on the stage in the center of the waterside pavilion in Suzhou and Hangshan, without even "Mr. Qianshan" going up to speak.

The first people he met were the noble men and women who really liked his "Unsolved Mysteries of Northern Qin" and were interested in chatting with him. Gu Yue was busy signing autographs, occasionally replying a few words, and those people looked at him with even more respect.

Gu Xu stood behind "Yue Gu Qianshan" and acted as a backdrop with Shi San.
