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

Gu Yue, Shi San, Wu Ye, and Pin An soon arrived at the city wall of Ganzhou City.

Due to constant friction with the Western Di, Ganzhou's trade came to a standstill, with only a few caravans being stopped outside the city gate.

"Didn't we enter the city a few days ago? Where is Captain Zhou of your team? Ask him to come out and talk. He knows who I am!" The leader of the caravan seemed to be talking to the soldiers guarding the city.

The soldiers were impatient. They were not the original city guards, but people brought by the prince, and they had no mercy on these caravans.

"You can't enter the city, so you can't enter. It's wartime now, so there must be a reason. Go away!" the guard shouted.

Pin An was a little nervous: "Can we get in? Will we be questioned?"

Gu Yue shook his head.

He stepped forward, took out the prince's small token, and handed it to the guard: "Excuse me, we have something important to tell you."

The guard took a look at the token in his hand and his expression changed: "Go in quickly."

Gu Yue took back the token, mounted his horse, and took Shi San and the other two into the city.

It was very quiet in Ganzhou City, with no one on the streets.

Seeing this, Gu Yue wanted to go back and ask the guards where the prince was. As soon as he turned around, he saw the guards riding horses towards him. He approached and asked, "Are you looking for the prince?"

He didn't try to hide anything, so all four of them heard it.

Pin'an's eyes suddenly widened.

"Yes." Gu Yue had no choice. Everyone had heard it, so he couldn't just kill the person in the street, right?

"Then follow me. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has ordered that if you see someone holding this order, take him directly to him." said the city guard.

Gu Yue first asked Pin An: "What are your plans?"

Pin An hesitated for a moment and touched his face: "Then...then I will follow you."

Gu Yue smiled: "You're not looking for your relatives anymore?"

"My relative in Ganzhou is quite... prominent. Maybe I can have a chance to talk to the prince. What if I meet him?" Pin'an seemed not to hear his sarcasm and said with a pout.

"Okay, then come with us." Gu Yue was very straightforward.

The city defenders took Gu Yue and his party and headed towards the west of the city.

After passing another wall, a vast open space appeared in front of them. Sandwiched between two mountains, there was a Great Wall-like defensive barrier in front of them, which firmly protected the pass between the two mountains. And between Ganzhou City and the barrier was the army's garrison.

Tents and houses were densely packed together, and there were also buildings on the hills on both sides. There were two huge parade grounds where many phalanxes were training.

There is a huge tent like a royal tent on the left, which is very conspicuous and probably where the central army is located.

Spectacular!

Gu Yue's lack of experience only made him feel shocked.

It seems that the Ganzhou army has strict military discipline, the soldiers move around as fast as the wind, and the passage between the tents is also cleaned very well.

"His Royal Highness is holding a meeting in the largest tent. Please wait here for a moment. I will go and inform you."

The soldiers guarding the city said that the man had entered the barracks and disappeared.

A moment later, Jingcun came personally to take them into the military camp.

Jingcun had impressions of Shi San and Wu Ye, but he had never seen the scarred man in the group before. Jingcun asked, "Who is this?"

"This is Pin'an. We met him on the road. He said he came to Ganzhou City to look for his relatives." Gu Yue said, "He can't go in? Then how do you plan to arrange it?"

Pin'an was a little nervous. He bowed to Jingcun and said nothing.

“……” Jingcun’s gaze moved around Pin’an twice.

Pinan was sweating profusely.

Jingcun didn't let him enter the military camp, but asked people to find a place for him in Ganzhou City. He left all this to his subordinates, and Gu Yue and the other two were brought to the central military tent.

Sheng Sheng, deputy general of the Ganzhou Army, was walking out of the tent.

"Who are these people?" Sheng Sheng asked when he saw that they looked unfamiliar.

"This is your Highness' friend." Jingcun answered briefly.

Gu Yue and Sheng Sheng looked at each other for a moment.

Entering the military tent, Qin Zhaoyue was alone facing a huge sand table with various wood carvings on it. Gu Yue didn't understand, so he didn't look at it any more and said straight to the point: "The thing I told you before has come to fruition."

Wuye bowed normally. Qin Zhaoyue looked at him and Wuye nodded.

"explain."

"The mastermind behind this is most likely Mu You." Gu Yue said.

"Do you know Mu You?" Qin Zhaoyue's eyes slightly widened. Has Gu Dashi already found out about the Luoyang official?

Gu Yue walked into the tent, picked up an upside-down teacup, and poured himself some water: "According to the intelligence we have now, they intend to poison the food and fodder of the Ganzhou army, and then join forces with Xidi to attack Ganzhou, so that you will suffer a good defeat."

Qin Zhaoyue widened his eyes.

The amount of information that came at him at that moment was too great for him to react.

Jingcun was also surprised. He said in a deep voice, "I will go and check if there is any problem with the food and fodder immediately."

"No, wait." Gu Yue stopped him: "I said, the mastermind behind this matter is most likely Mu You. He has been in Ganzhou for more than ten years. It is still unknown how many of the entire Ganzhou army are his spies and his influence. If you rashly take the doctor to check the food and grass, it will only alarm them."

He turned to Qin Zhaoyue and said, "Don't you want to catch all of these people in one fell swoop?"

Qin Zhaoyue said coldly: "I need evidence."

"If you catch him, you'll have evidence." Gu Yue said, "Their base is outside Ganzhou City, and I need manpower."

Qin Zhaoyue was silent for a moment.

"...Gu Xu is not with you. Is he presiding over this matter outside the city?"

"Yes." Gu Yue was a little worried. His Gu Xu had always been unkind to Qin Zhaoyue. Would he lend him someone?

I shouldn't have mentioned Gu Xu earlier.

"I need to know the details of this matter." Qin Zhaoyue said, "Otherwise, it would be too risky to rashly lend troops to you."

Gu Yue nodded.

In front of Jing Cun and Wu Ye, as well as Shi San behind Gu Yue, they were all trustworthy confidants. With them present, there was no need to worry about anyone eavesdropping.

"We came all the way from Luoyang and investigated many things. We got some trivial information." Gu Yue said, "Putting these things together, we can roughly guess that this is the case."

"Mu You, the mother's family of the fifth prince Qin Zhaochen, made two preparations in order to support Qin Zhaochen in seizing the throne. First, he bought poisonous herbs from Tianzhu merchants and used them to control the gold mines and wealthy merchants near Ganzhou, seeking personal gain for himself so as to prepare for the future."

Qin Zhaoyue's face was gloomy.

"The second plan is to collude with Xidi to create the illusion of turmoil on the border, and then join forces with our allies in the DPRK to put pressure on you to go to the border," Gu Yue continued.

Qin Zhaoyue stood up suddenly: "He is colluding with the Xidi people?!"

"Don't be impatient. This is just a guess. There is no empirical evidence yet, but it's pretty close." Gu Yue waved his hand.
