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

"Master?" Wu Yan saw that his face looked strange and looked solemn.

"...Call him over." Gu Xu whispered.

Wuyan and Wuyun were both stunned.

Gu Xu had never asked Gu Yue to intervene in these matters, but this time...

Wu Yan nodded and went to the backyard to call for help.

Wu Yun looked down at the messenger on the ground and asked, "Master, what about this?"

"…Hide it for now and let him fall asleep." Gu Xu said, "Don't let him see any clues."

"Yes." Wu Yun ordered Wu Dai to come over, and the two of them worked together to lift the messenger and carried him to a small house on the side.

……

Gu Yue came over in a hurry.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" he asked anxiously.

"Look at this." Gu Xu handed over a small piece of letter paper.

Gu Yue took it and looked at it carefully. He knew that Wumen was planning to catch the spy who delivered the message. Was this successful?

However, after reading the contents of the letter carefully, he was shocked.

It was a secret letter, without a signature or a title, but the content clearly stated that the plan to take action among the grain and grass should be abandoned, and everything should be left to nature's own devices.

How could this be?

This is different from the original text!

Gu Xu observed his expression carefully.

"This... they would actually give up this plan? Why?" Gu Yue was puzzled.

Was the plot changed by the butterfly effect of his time travel? Or was there such a plot in the original story, but something happened to the messenger halfway, so the plan still went ahead?

No...no.

Gu Yue believed that he had been careful with his words and actions since he came here, and he had avoided saying and doing things that he could avoid, but now the situation...

"This is not right..." Gu Yue muttered to himself, "Qin Zhaoyue has dealt with all the spies in Liuli Town. It is impossible for King Yin to find out. But why would he want to cancel the plan?"

"King Yin?" Gu Xu noticed this mumbling.

Vixen, he thinks all this is the work of King Yin?

The two of them sat in silence in the yard.

Gu Xu waited for his judgment.

"We have kept everything very low-key over the past two years, even suspending the investigation into the pharmacy." Gu Yue managed to calm down, "After arriving in Luoyang, Wen Qing found clues about us, and my identity was exposed. Wen Qing was related to Jiaoyuan, and we were also involved in Jiaoyuan's affairs."

"Yeah." Gu Xu responded and listened quietly.

"He is also suspicious of our relationship with the prince. If this incident makes him alert, it is not impossible to suspend this plan." Gu Yue said.

"Yes. But what does this have to do with King Yin?" Gu Xu asked.

Gu Yue was startled and woke up completely.

King Yin... In the world line he traveled through, there seemed to be no concrete evidence linking King Yin with Baoshun Pharmacy, but because of the influence of the original text, he mentioned King Yin preconceivedly!

King Yin used the black gold paste to rebel in the later part of the original text, but now, he has not taken any action.

He couldn't help but look at Gu Xu. Gu Xu stared at him, waiting for his answer.

"…I'm just guessing." Gu Yue said.

A light bulb suddenly lit up in his head, and he quickly explained: "The shopkeeper just said... the headquarters of the pharmacy seems to be in the Huaizhong Prefecture area. Isn't the Yin King's residence there? That's why I thought..."

Gu Xu pulled the corner of his mouth.

"Let's continue analyzing the pharmacy." Gu Yue quickly drew Gu Xu's attention: "You see, Wen Qing might become alert because of this incident and stop this plan. But..."

The incident with King Yin had not yet happened, and Gu Yue thought that he should start from the incident itself.

"But Wen Qing is related to both the Third Prince and the Fifth Prince." Gu Yue took a breath, "The Fifth Prince... maybe the problem lies with the Fifth Prince."

The two were startled at the same time, and thought of the same thing.

The Fifth Prince...The problem lies with the Fifth Prince!

The biggest difference between the Ganzhou incident and the original text is that the fifth prince went to Ganzhou with the army!

In this case, it makes sense that the plan was changed.

"Since Wen Qing is related to the Fifth Prince, it makes sense that the original poisoning plan was terminated because the Fifth Prince went to Ganzhou." Gu Xu said in a deep voice: "Originally, there was only the Crown Prince, and he would bear all the responsibility if something went wrong. But now there is the Fifth Prince, even though the Governor-General is the Crown Prince, the Fifth Prince's reputation will inevitably be affected."

"That's it!" Gu Yue was so excited that he immediately came up with a plan: "You didn't kill the messenger, did you? Let him deliver the letter to Ganzhou, and that would be enough to stop it... No, let's arrest the messenger and interrogate him to get a confession. We will go to Ganzhou to expose the poisoning and pull out the undercover agent!"

Gu Xu thought about it and said, "No. Let's let this person deliver the letter as usual."

"Of course, that's fine, but the person behind the scenes may be pardoned because of this letter. After all, he has come to his senses and turned back." Gu Yue frowned, "If he is a powerful person, he might just be fined a year's salary and let it go... Our contribution is not that obvious."

"It is precisely because of this contribution that we asked him to deliver the letter as usual." Gu Xu said: "But the meaning of the letter... must be the other way around."

Gu Yue was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized.

"You mean to tell them to poison as usual... and then we will send our magic soldiers down from the sky to find out the clues of the food and grass in time." Gu Yue looked excited, "This way we will not only get the credit, but also increase the guilt of the person behind the scenes."

"That's right." Gu Xu smiled.

Between a crime that has been completed and a crime that has been terminated, the former will definitely be sentenced more severely!

"What if the messenger knows the contents of the letter?" Gu Yue immediately discovered a bug. "Won't he be exposed if he pairs up with the other two?"

"Just do something with the content of the letter." Gu Xu said, "You don't have to worry about it. I have sent people to Ganzhou in advance. Even if they don't want to do it, they have to get it done for me."

Gu Yue nodded, expressing his full trust in Gu Xu.

"If no one sends the letter, will the plan still proceed as usual?" Gu Yue suddenly said, "Let's work backwards. If there is no news, they won't act. Then the person behind the scenes doesn't need to send the letter... In other words, even if no letter is sent, they will still act as usual, right?"

Gu Xu paused: "...That's true."

"Then there's no need for us to let this guy go." Gu Yue grinned, "Keep him and make a confession."

……

Wen Qing rode a fast horse to the post station outside Chang'an City.

He noticed something was going on before the horse even reached the gate. There was no mark on the knuckles of the guards at the gate, there were a few fewer people coming and going than the standard configuration, and there were no sentries patrolling around.

Wen Qing instinctively felt something was wrong.

He did not rush into the post station, but dismounted and walked, wearing a bamboo hat, along the official road to the back door of the inn.

However, the guarding of the post station was more strict than he expected, and he could not get close, so he had to find another way.

Walking slowly along the official road and paying attention to the shops around him, Wen Qing's eyes fell on an inconspicuous medicine shop on the side of the road.
