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

"The smoke was too potent. I pushed my internal energy twice." Gu Xu replied with his eyes lowered.

"Are you okay? How do you feel? Didn't you take that pill?" Gu Yue moved to his side, touched Gu Xu's forehead, and then touched his cheek.

He seemed to be fine, but his face was slightly hot.

"I'm fine." Gu Xu said, "It's just that you haven't cultivated your inner self, so pretending to be unconscious will easily reveal your flaws. That's why I added something to the meatballs, which is why you fell asleep."

"I see, that's why I was wondering..." Gu Yue choked. Why bother giving him this pill? Wouldn't it be better to just ask Mi Yan to knock him out?

Maybe he has his own considerations.

Puzzled, Gu Yue tried to get up and stood firmly in the cell. It was quiet all around, with torches stuck on the stone wall outside, but no one was seen.

"You were awake the whole time?"

"Ah."

Gu Yue stretched his head to look outside and began to study the cell door again: "How long have I slept? What's the situation now?"

"It's been almost an hour." Gu Xu also stood up. "When we were first locked up, there were people guarding this place, but they left very quickly. I don't know what happened."

"Strange. Logically, the second shopkeeper should want to see us immediately." Gu Yue observed carefully. The bars of the cell were made of stone, and the door was made of iron. The two were entangled with iron chains and hung with a large padlock.

"...Oh no, I haven't figured out how to get out." Gu Yue was stuck.

"..." Gu Xu said: "Have you ever thought about how to get out?"

"I didn't think that much. I thought I would be brought directly to the Second Shopkeeper... But it's best that my hands and feet are not tied up." Gu Yue said, "Where is my sword?"

"It will be taken away. I don't have it with me." Gu Xu said.

"It's okay, let's find another way." Gu Yue said, "They've been out for almost an hour, did you hear any movement outside?"

"It seems a bit chaotic, but this place is all mountain walls, so I can't hear clearly." Gu Xu raised his hand and touched the prison pillar, estimating its hardness. "It's just an ordinary stone pole."

"Ordinary stones are also stones... No, do you want them?" Gu Yue's expression gradually changed. Isn't this a bit against the will of heaven? This is not a martial arts novel!

"It should be okay if we come a few more times. With this width, as long as we destroy two of them, we can get out." Gu Xu said.

"No!" Gu Yue grabbed his wrist, "You want to split the stone with your bare hands? You don't need your hands anymore? Knowing martial arts doesn't make you a man of steel. Do you think you are Yang Jian?"

"Yang Jian...?" Gu Xu repeated.

"He is just a very tough person." Gu Yue said.

"Then what do you say we should do?" Gu Xu moved his arms, and sure enough, he felt Gu Yue holding him even tighter.

This fool, why would he think he was going to chop rocks with his hands?

He did not expose it, and pretended to say: "This is the only way to deal with the current situation."

"No, let me think about it again. There's really nothing I can say anymore." Gu Yue refused firmly.

Before the two of them could come up with a solution, footsteps were heard outside.

There was only one person, and the voice was very soft. Gu Xu immediately judged that this person had profound internal martial arts skills, and immediately pulled Gu Yue behind him.

A middle-aged man with a strong build and a big knife came out.

He did not look at the two people in the cell at first, but scanned the surroundings vigilantly. After confirming that it was safe, he walked closer, and with a flash of the knife in his hand, he cut the chain of the cell door.

...The halo of the male protagonist, the halo of the male protagonist.

I'm going to make a fuss!

Gu Yue didn't know what he felt. Gu Xu was really... When he was sleepy, someone handed him a pillow. In the original text, it was the prince, but now there is no prince, and there is the eldest princess. Even when he was imprisoned, the heaven felt sorry for him and sent someone to save him!

And me?

You could just fix my broken leg for me!

Gu Xu stood there without moving, his eyes ferocious and cold.

The man approached and saw the two of them. He was stunned for a moment, then calmed down and said, "I stayed at that inn at night and felt some unusual movements next door. Upon closer inspection, I saw you being loaded into the car by the innkeeper."

He clasped his fists and said, "I thought it was some kind of kidnapping and slavery thing, and I was meddling in other people's business for a while."

Gu Yue was silent at first, then he realized that Gu Xu had no intention of speaking, so he stepped forward to smooth things over: "Thank you, hero, we can't stay here for long, let's get out and talk first."

The middle-aged man nodded and walked forward to open the cell door. Gu Yue tugged at Gu Xu and pulled him out.

"How did you find this place?" Gu Yue asked, "It wasn't easy."

"I set a fire in the back warehouse." said the middle-aged man.

The man was silent and taciturn. Gu Yue took a closer look with the help of the firelight and found that he was a decadent middle-aged handsome man with untidy beard. However, there was a long scar on his face from the left corner of his forehead to the right corner of his jaw, which completely destroyed everything.

...Let's bump into the setting, three of us!

Including this middle-aged man who was unclear whether he was a friend or an enemy, Pin'an, the man with a scar and pockmarked face in the inn, and himself, Gu Xu's physique that attracted scarred men was already obvious.

"Take it." The middle-aged man took out a short knife from his waist and threw it to Gu Xu.

Both of them saw that the other was skilled in martial arts.

Gu Xu took it in his hand and pulled Gu Yue behind him, not allowing him to walk in front. Gu Yue naturally had no objection. The identity of this person was unknown. Who knew if it was the plan of the second shopkeeper?

His eyes fell on the broadsword in the middle-aged man's hand. The sword was simple and heavy, without any extra decorations, but it was obvious that it was a good sword.

The three of them walked up the stone steps to the cell.

Outside was a yard next to the woods, not far away there was a fire and a lot of noise. They climbed over the wall with caution, came to the woods, and hid behind a tree.

"It's safe here." The middle-aged man said, "You guys should leave quickly."

"What's your name?" Gu Yue asked.

Gu Xu didn't say anything, but frowned and looked at the middle-aged man's face.

"…If you must give me a name, just call me Uncle Fu." Uncle Fu said.

Gu Yue nodded: "Thank you, Uncle Fu. See you again someday. I'll treat you to a drink."

Uncle Fu's expression softened a little: "Definitely. Don't take any more risks."

After the three of them finished talking, they stood still.

Gu Yue and the others naturally still had things to do. The second shopkeeper had not been arrested yet, and the matter of grain and grass in Ganzhou could not be put aside. What was Uncle Fu doing standing here?

"Do you two have anything else to do?" Uncle Fu seemed to have noticed something.

Gu Yue looked at Gu Xu. Seeing that he remained silent for a long time, he pulled him aside and said, "Xiao Xu, what do you mean? This person..."

"He looks familiar, but I don't recognize him." Gu Xu whispered.

"So that's how it is. Then we can rule out the possibility that this person was sent by the second manager..." Gu Yue pondered.

"...You are very vigilant." Gu Xu relaxed his brows, revealing a little helplessness.

"Generally speaking, plans won't be changed without reason. If we've been tortured for several rounds and still haven't responded, it would be understandable for them to play the emotional card, but nothing has happened now." Gu Yue said.

"Hmm." Gu Xu lowered his eyes and thought.
