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

Qin Zhaoning raised the question first: "That's not right! If Wen Qing was involved with the Fifth Prince, then he should have worked with the Fifth Prince to stop Mu You from poisoning him. Why would he kill the messenger?"

Gu Yue said: "That's because..."

Wen Qing took over the conversation: "Because, if Mu You fails once, he will do it again. He will never let go of his ambition. Even if he is recalled to Luoyang by the emperor, he can still accomplish such a great thing, unless..."

Qin Zhaoning understood, but he just found it unbelievable: "Mu You is his own grandfather, how could he do that to him?!"

Gu Yue has reservations about this.

Qin Zhaochen was not mentioned much in the original text, and they only chatted for a few words when they met on the road. It was hard to tell what kind of person he was from a distance.

When Gu Yue is unsure about something like this, he usually uses the setting method of novels.

How could Wen Qing be so smart, so he could be fooled by Qin Zhaochen? If Qin Zhaochen was really powerful, he would not have been offline so early.

Yeah, perfect logic. Gu Yue nodded in his heart.

He is not a smart man. He cannot figure out many things and just roughly substitutes them into the original text. He is also lucky that there are no fatal loopholes so far.

Wen Qing said: "In this case, our goals are the same in this matter, and I will not take action against you for the time being."

"Attack me?" Gu Yue smiled.

Shi San is not a vegetarian!

However, Wen Qing seemed to be a very powerful person. Unless necessary, Gu Yue didn't want Shi San to confront him.

Wen Qing was silent for a moment: "I came here this time to let the poisoning proceed as usual, so that the Fifth Prince can take the opportunity to catch Mu You's spy in the Ganzhou army and then take the initiative to expose Mu You's crimes. You... since you are determined to protect the prince, we will not take action."

"Don't make it sound like you're doing this for my sake. You wouldn't let anything happen to the prince anyway." Gu Yue sneered.

Wen Qing frowned.

"...I've heard the rumors in the camp. Are you and this person trying to escape?" Wen Qing smiled. "I can help you."

"Oh? How can I help? Tell me first." Gu Yue said.

"I won't expose you to anyone, and I can even help you escape from Ganzhou camp." Wen Qing said.

"What are the conditions?"

"...You should have a say in front of the prince."

"You mean, you want me to collude with the prince and say something good to Qin Zhaochen?"

"Yes. Qin Zhaochen has no ambitions, he just wants to live a peaceful life. It was Mu You's behavior that put him on the spot." Wen Qing said: "This time, I don't ask for credit, just don't let Mu You's affairs implicate him and Mu Fei."

real or fake?

Gu Yue didn't finish his words: "If he is really like what you said, I will give advice to the prince, but I don't know whether he will listen or not."

"That's enough." Wen Qing said.

Gu Yue nodded. Even if the matter was resolved, he was still confident in Wen Qing's ability.

Before they could talk about the next plan, there was a knock on the door.

Wen Qing walked quickly to the door: "What's the matter?"

"Sir, the South City Gate suddenly opened, and it was said that the Fifth Prince was going to go out to support the Crown Prince..."

"What?!" Wen Qing rarely lost his composure and his face changed drastically.

"Why is he joining in the fun?" Gu Yue was confused.

"Where are the others?!" Wen Qing opened the door.

"They have already left the city." replied the guard outside the door.

Wen Qing thought for a moment, then immediately said, "Prepare the horses, we will follow!"

"Yes!" The guard hurried to get the horse.

Gu Yue asked, "Have you been deceived? Why is he leaving the city now? Is he afraid that the food poisoning will be exposed, so he went out to kill Qin Zhaoyue?"

"Then why should he make so many arrangements? Wouldn't it be better to stay in Luoyang and just wait for Mu You to accomplish something?" Wen Qing said.

Gu Yue thought so too.

"We'll go too," he said.

"You... aren't going to Ganzhou City?" Wen Qing turned to look at him, "Once you leave Beiqin, it will be difficult to come back."

"Don't worry about it." Gu Yue waved his hand.

……

In just half a cup of tea, the four of them rode on their horses and followed Qin Zhaochen out of Ganzhou.

Qin Zhaoning insisted on coming along, and Wen Qing was worried about him staying alone in the camp, so he had no choice but to agree.

Outside the city gate was a large camp, with a row of chevaux de frise and iron nail barriers at the outermost edge. Gu Yue also saw something that looked like a cannon. The four of them followed the main road out of the camp, heading south, galloping their horses.

Dark clouds rolled in the sky, and the fifth prince's cavalry flashed with stars of fire, which were gradually swallowed up by the night.

Gu Yue followed Wen Qing closely: "It's too dark at night! Why did he go out so late? Are you sure this information is true?"

"That guard is my man." Wen Qing said.

The five princes' team in front was completely out of sight, and the four horses gradually slowed down.

Gu Yue was not worried. Whether Qin Zhaochen wanted to harm the prince or had other plans, it had little to do with him, and he had no way to notify Gu Xu now.

Wen Qing calmed down.

"Boss Gu." he said.

"Hmm?" Gu Yue replied lazily.

He didn't come out to chase Qin Zhaochen, but he had already planned to leave the city, and now he was just going with the flow.

As for why I'm leaving the city, I haven't decided yet.

This decision was made casually, but someone in Ganzhou camp wanted to take his life, and Ganzhou city was not very safe either.

Go find Gu Xu?

Gu Yue...didn’t want to.

He is a cannon fodder. At such a critical moment, it is better for him to be as far away from the center of the incident as possible.

There was another reason. He also wanted to see how much actual impact he, a cannon fodder, could have on Gu Xu.

"Lord Wen, let's say goodbye here." Gu Yue said to Wen Qing.

Wen Qing was startled: "Did you leave the city just for Qin Zhaochen?"

"Ah? Who is he? Why would I leave the city for him?" Gu Yue looked puzzled. "I'm just hiding in Xidi for a few days. I'll go back when they stop fighting."

Wen Qing couldn't find the words for a moment.

After a while he said, "Don't forget our agreement."

"Yeah." Gu Yue nodded.

Qin Zhaoning said, "You... never mind. Regardless of whether you are the prince's man or not, I appreciate your helping me out. Let's get together when you return to Luoyang."

"Sure." Gu Yue smiled and nodded. He had a good impression of Qin Zhaoning.

Silly and reassuring.

But I don't know what he thinks of the current situation.

……

Dark as ink.

Gu Yue couldn't tell the direction, he only knew that this was the southern part of Ganzhou City, the border of Xidi. There were no stars or moon in the sky, and the light of the torch was swallowed up after it extended a short distance.

"Shi San?"

"Yes." Shi San replied.

"Let's find a safe place to spend the night." Gu Yue felt a little more at ease.

Shi San nodded and walked in front holding a torch.

Gu Yue roughly sensed the direction. The city wall of Ganzhou City in the north was brightly lit, and they seemed to be heading west.
