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

The fireworks were particularly conspicuous at night, but they looked no different from ordinary fireworks. In this era, adding patterns to fireworks was not a simple technology, so the fireworks used by Wumen for communication used different color combinations to indicate information.

In less than an hour, Wu Yan and his companions brought Shi San to the contact point beside the official road. At this time, the city gate was open.

After the two parties met, Wu Yan immediately began to interrogate the second manager.

Gu Xu didn't let Gu Yue watch the process, but the faint screams coming from the mountains allowed Gu Yue to imagine the scene.

"If we do this, can this person still come back alive?" Gu Yue asked him.

"..."Gu Xu didn't say anything.

Gu Yue asked again: "What are your plans? If the second shopkeeper disappears, those people can easily infer that they have been exposed based on our previous whereabouts... If this alerts the people behind the scenes, things will be troublesome."

"I know what's going on, don't worry." Gu Xu finally turned his gaze back to Gu Yue and reached out to smooth his vest.

Like touching a dog...Gu Yue complained in his heart.

He vaguely felt that he had done something wrong, like a headless fly. Although the previous plan in Nanwai City successfully found a contact point, it also indirectly exposed his flaws.

"I won't cause you any trouble, will I?" Gu Yue asked again, "You...yes, I haven't asked yet, why did you go to Ganzhou?"

"Just like you said, let's see if there's anything we can get, and now we've got it." Gu Xu raised his chin to signal, and there was another scream in the mountain. "No trouble, you did a great job."

Really? Gu Yue was a little nervous.

Gu Xu has really grown up... Maybe everything is on the right track, and he doesn't need to deliberately guide anything, things will automatically get on the right track.

After a while, Wu Yan came out of the mountain and signaled to Gu Xu.

Shi San stood by, and Gu Xu asked him to take good care of Gu Yue, and left with peace of mind.

Without me?

Gu Yue thought to himself. His intention was obvious, so he should not go forward, so as not to disrupt his plan.

He sat down on a stone.

The middle-aged man called Uncle Fu had not left. Seeing that Gu Yue was the only one sitting alone in the open space, he walked up to him and said, "It's urgent, and I haven't asked your names yet."

Gu Yue smiled and said, "Just call me Dashi."

"Where is that person? It seems like you have a special relationship with him." Uncle Fu asked with a smile.

"...I can't tell you this casually, you can ask him yourself." Gu Yue said, fearing that it would affect Gu Xu's plan.

"I understand. What is your relationship?" Uncle Fu had been secretly observing for a long time and always felt that the atmosphere between the two was unusual.

"I'm his father." Gu Yue said awkwardly.

It's a bit unlike, it feels like a lie to say that.

"I see." Uncle Fu looked a little surprised and raised his eyebrows. "You look only a little older than him. How old are you now?"

"Twenty...six." Gu Yue paused.

This body is actually twenty-six years old!

Maybe it’s the age in Chinese lunar calendar?

Uncle Fu nodded.

"Your accent sounds a bit like someone from Luozhou," said Uncle Fu.

What do you mean? Why are you asking about this? Gu Yue was very alert and just said something to fool around: "Haha, really?"

Uncle Fu said nothing more.

He saw Gu Yue's vigilance, which was understandable. He simply kept silent, since it was not a big deal anyway.

There was silence for a moment.

About half an hour later, Gu Xu finally walked out of the mountain. He was wearing a black suit, and it was impossible to tell whether his body was stained with blood. His expression was still calm, and only when he met Gu Yue's eyes did he show a little warmth.

"How about it?"

"He didn't say who the person above is, so I guess he really doesn't know." Gu Xu said, "The herb was shipped to Ganzhou three months ago. I guess he has been planning for a long time, and he just waited for the news from the capital to start immediately."

"Did Luoyang send any information over?" Gu Yue was delighted, now he had evidence!

"Never." Gu Xu shook his head.

"That's perfect. We still have a chance." Gu Yue said, "Stop the letter and present it to the emperor. This way, we can both gain merit and stabilize the border."

"Yes." Gu Xu turned to Wu Yan and said, "Notify the Chang'an branch to fully control the pharmacy and external contact points. Don't let anyone go."

"Yes!" Wu Yan took the order and left.

Gu Yue felt very relieved. Look! With his advance warning, Gu Xu had seized the opportunity before anything happened. It seemed that the King Yin, who was behind this, would be offline early.

If we follow the clues, we may not fail to find him.

……

The strength of Wumen should not be underestimated.

It only took one morning for the branch to capture the contact point and the pharmacy with the help of the second shopkeeper's intelligence. Many people were controlled, and the post station and the courtyard seemed to be normal, but in fact they were all Wumen's men.

"This branch is quite large, and there are so many people?" Gu Yue was eating fruit in the small courtyard that had become his base. "Could it be that Wumen was developed here at that time?"

Wu Huo smiled and said nothing.

He was occasionally shocked by his master's foresight. The Wumen branch in Chang'an had only been established in the past two years, and most of them were trustworthy people sent from the Luoyang headquarters.

Chang'an was not an important place, and Wumen's industries had always been concentrated in the Jiangnan area. When Wumen suddenly expanded to Chang'an, the people in Wumen did not quite understand the intention of this move at first.

Now it seems...

Could it be that the master had already expected this to happen?

Wuhuo felt a chill on his spine and stopped thinking.

People like them need to have a limit in their grasp of intelligence. If they know too little, they won't be able to do their job well, but if they know too much, it will affect their judgment.

Don't think about it. Wu Huo picked up a big winter date and stuffed it into his mouth.

It seems like...

I took Boss Gu around Chang'an City for a few rounds. Was I just playing with him?

……

The messenger from Luoyang rode into the post station.

"It's an important matter in Luozhou. Take me to see the shopkeeper quickly." The messenger felt relieved when he saw that everyone in the post station was carrying a token of trust.

A man brought a horse to exchange, the messenger jumped on the horse, took the route map, and galloped away. After a while, the man arrived in front of the courtyard, and as soon as he entered the gate, he felt dizzy.

He quickly reined in his horse, turned over, and held his forehead.

"What's going on!" Seeing this, the guard at the door hurriedly supported the man.

It would have been better if he hadn't helped him, but as soon as he did, the messenger fainted.

Wu Yun laid the messenger flat on the ground: "Wu Ye's medicine is quite effective."

"Body search." Wu Yan said.

Gu Xu walked closer and looked at the man's face carefully. He looked very unfamiliar.

Soon, Wu Yun took out a bamboo tube from the messenger's sleeve pocket, slowly unfolded the letter inside, confirmed that it was safe, and handed it to Gu Xu.

Gu Xu glanced at the content and frowned.

"What's wrong?" Wu Yan asked.

Gu Xu did not answer, his mind racing.

The content of the letter was beyond his expectation. --All plans were terminated, and no more poisoning of Ganzhou's military rations and grass was allowed!

How could this be?
