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

"I haven't heard of anything unusual." Feilan said, "Only a few months ago, I heard guests talking about several villages on the border being robbed by the Xidi people. Hmm... I also heard that there are new fabric shops in the surrounding towns. Originally there was only one, Lu's Fabric Shop, so the fabrics are cheaper now."

She smiled sheepishly: "I only know these little things. After all, women like us can't just go out casually on weekdays."

Gu Yue nodded. This information sounded unrelated to what they were looking for.

"That yard can be directly seen by the inn counter and the small house in the yard. It would be difficult to sneak in during the day." Gu Xu said in a low voice.

"Then we can only see if there are any opportunities at night." Gu Yue said.

"Sir, do you want to know what's in the carriage?" Feilan asked. "The things in there seem to be very heavy. I saw them carrying some of it. It took four people to carry it together."

"When did they move those things?"

"We moved a few boxes away on the 15th of last month, but the gaps were quickly filled up," Feilan replied.

Gu Yue discussed with Gu Xu in a low voice: "Let's go back and take a look at the situation first. Wu Yan and the others should have also inquired about the situation of the inn."

"Okay." Gu Xu also felt that there were no clues here.

"What should we do with this girl? How about we redeem her first?" Gu Yue said in a low voice.

Gu Xu nodded.

"Miss, why don't we redeem you first? This way it will be easier to get in touch with us." Gu Yue said.

Feilan shook her head and smiled, "I am a family member of a criminal, I cannot be redeemed."

Gu Yue was stunned.

"If you want to contact me, please go to the entrance of the alley on the side of Zuihonglou. There is a corner gate there." Feilan said.

"...Okay." Gu Yue responded, leaving a silver ingot on the table.

Gu Xu looked at Feilan twice more, then pulled Gu Yue out the door. The waiter outside saw them leaving and immediately came up to them with a strange look in his eyes: "You two gentlemen are leaving now?"

Gu Xu said coldly: "Well. This will be recorded in Feilan's account."

After that, he motioned for Gu Yue to take out the money.

Gu Yue was puzzled. Didn't he give the girl money? But he still took out the money and paid.

The waiter smiled and said, "Take care, both of you. Come and play often!"

The two of them didn't pay much attention and walked out of Zuihonglou.

They took the horses from the street and walked side by side to the meeting point in front of the inn. Gu Xu explained: "The silver you gave to the girls privately is their private property. In addition, you have to buy the wine, snacks and other things in the building, otherwise it is not considered as payment."

"So that's how it is." Gu Yue suddenly realized.

Gu Xu could tell from this that this man had really never been to a brothel, and his expression looked much better.

"You tell me." Gu Yue was still thinking about Feilan: "She can't redeem herself, but she still gets involved in our affairs. Is there any conspiracy?"

Gu Xu said: "She has been keeping an eye out for someone who can save her from danger since the turmoil in Ganzhou began. Our whereabouts today are unusual, and she will definitely seize the opportunity."

"You mean, she thought from the beginning that we had the ability to rescue her from the brothel?" Gu Yue was surprised.

"Ganzhou is going to go to war, and the number of officials or their spies coming and going will increase by several percent. She might be waiting for this opportunity." Gu Xu said, "It is not easy to redeem a criminal slave."

"That's amazing." Gu Yue said.

"Don't worry too much. Even if she is someone's spy, I have a way to deal with it." Gu Xu comforted.

"Xiao Xu is the best." Gu Yue was overjoyed when he heard it.

"Little" Xu, who was half a head taller than him, looked over with his eyes lowered.

Gu Yue choked and was about to say something when Wu Yan came up to him and said straight to the point, "We have already inquired about the inn, and the owner said that the rooms are full and cannot be accommodated."

"From the upstairs of Zuihonglou, the rooms on the second floor of the inn are all empty." Gu Xu said, "There is indeed a problem."

"By the way, Wu Feng has arrived." Wu Yan said again.

Gu Yue was delighted. He hadn't had a chance to see Wu Feng since they separated at the book signing event that day. Now that he was safe and sound, he had rejoined the team. He immediately left Wu Yan and Gu Xu behind and went to the small shed on the street.

Gu Xu stayed where he was and talked to Wu Yan: "Is there any way to sneak in and investigate secretly?"

"No. The courtyard wall is very tightly surrounded, and there is only one entrance, the gate. No matter where you enter, you will be discovered by the shopkeeper." Wu Yan said.

"Then..." Gu Xu stopped looking.

Gu Yue and Wu Feng, who had just joined the team, embraced passionately. Gu Yue wanted to hit him on the back, but Wu Feng stopped him by shouting, "Hey, hey, hey! I'm not fully recovered yet!"

"Oh oh oh, sorry." Gu Yue quickly let go of his hand.

"I've been running so hard all this way." Wu Feng complained, "I encountered many cities along the way, but I didn't dare to go in, for fear of being imprisoned somewhere."

"You must have never eaten beef noodles. Well, I think there are some old restaurants nearby. Let's have a good meal." Gu Yue was very generous. He received a portion of the book signing profit from Zhen Suhang, and now he is very rich!

However, the cash was almost gone, and he only had a voucher for one thousand taels, which could only be exchanged in Ganzhou City.

"Okay, okay!" Wu Feng was overjoyed.

"Your injury hasn't healed yet, you can't eat." Wu Yun said ruthlessly.

Gu Xu came over and said, "Have some porridge. I need you to go on a mission tonight."

"He just arrived and he wants a mission?" Wu Yun frowned slightly.

"We are a group of people whose whereabouts are secretive. No one can do anything to him." Gu Xu said, "We just need to sneak in to investigate. We will support him outside."

"Yes..." Wu Feng said dejectedly. Wu Yun also nodded.

So in order to take care of the wounded Wu Feng, the group had a simple meal in a small restaurant, found a nearby inn, and rented four rooms to rest for a while.

Gu Yue was really tired, so he took a quick nap. When he woke up, Gu Xu was answering from outside. Seeing him, he said, "Tell Wu Feng to sneak into Zuihonglou at night, enter the courtyard through the back window, and see what's in the carriage."

"Have you and Feilan already agreed on this? There won't be any problem, right?" Gu Yue said sleepily.

Gu Xu scooped water from the bucket into the basin so that he could wash his face. "It's agreed. I will meet him outside the courtyard, and the rest of you will lie in ambush around. If anything unexpected happens, go in immediately."

It is a bit bad to let people work after being injured at work, but if you are fully prepared, nothing should happen.

"When will we take action?" Gu Yue asked.

Gu Xu smiled.

……

In the middle of the night, a group of people dressed in black sneaked through the alley and reached the back door of Zuihonglou.

The back door was usually used by people to escape and find someone else. There was only a waiter with a tender face guarding the door. When he saw Gu Xu, he asked quietly, "Is this Boss Gu?"

Gu Xu nodded, and the waiter stepped aside and said, "Everyone is gathering in the lobby right now, boss, be careful, go to the back after the stairs, Sister Feilan is waiting there."

"Thank you." Gu Xu nodded.

Wu Feng, who was wrapped in black, was hesitant.

"Master, do you really want it?" He spoke with tears in his voice.

"Yeah." Gu Xu replied indifferently.
