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

Gu Xu took a deep breath and quickly calmed down.

There were no signs of the food having been eaten, and one of the two pairs of chopsticks was still clean.

There was wind blowing through the tent. Gu Xu looked down and saw that there was a hole in the thick cloth of the tent near the inside, just big enough for someone to pass through.

Gu Xu turned around and walked out of the tent, grabbed the soldier who showed him the way, and asked, "What happened here?"

The soldier replied, "It was yesterday. Doctor Dou and Deputy General Chen who stayed behind came here together and said that there was a rumor in the camp that the scarred man living in this tent said that the food and grass were poisonous, so they went to ask him about the situation."

"Then?"

"Then I don't know what happened. The scarred man didn't mention the food and grass. I didn't understand what the two of them were saying. Anyway, they just refused to cooperate. They even threatened Lieutenant General Chen, but Lieutenant General Chen didn't get angry. He just asked someone to guard the tent and left."

"Where is that Vice General Chen?"

"I don't know. After His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went to battle, it was Vice General Chen who led us, but I haven't seen him since last night."

Gu Xu was silent.

He wanted to go to the city gate to ask if anyone had entered or left the city during this period, but he heard a horn sounded from the south city wall.

Gu Xu knew very well that it was the sound of a horn heralding the return to camp after a great victory.

Qin Zhaoyue is back.

……

Qin Zhaoyue led a group of captives back to the camp from the city gate, without covering up, and blatantly displayed Sheng Sheng's ugly appearance in front of the soldiers. Sheng Sheng buried his head deep in the saddle. Should he be thankful that Qin Zhaoyue didn't order his men to drag him behind the horse?

The most urgent task is no longer to report the complete collapse of the plan to Mu You. His own life is hanging on the edge of a knife and he may be beheaded by Qin Zhaoyue at any time.

"How is this going?"

There were whispers all along the way, and the soldiers were very familiar with the deputy general Sheng Sheng.

"Why was Deputy General Sheng tied to the horse..."

"Your Highness! What's going on?"

The military camps at the border were not as afraid of the imperial power as those in Luoyang, and a brave soldier immediately asked.

Qin Zhaoyue rode on his horse and laughed loudly: "Deputy General Sheng Sheng colluded with the Western Di and wanted to kill me in the battle."

The troops were in an uproar.

Qin Zhaochen followed behind Qin Zhaoyue and said, "That's true. Last night, a traitor came to me and tried to persuade me to kill the prince together, but I killed him immediately. The rest of the rebel leaders in the army were all captured, and I was about to go out of the city to rescue the prince. But I didn't expect that my brother was so wise and brave that he broke out of the siege alone and captured several rebels alive."

Qin Zhaoyue tilted his head when he heard this.

This fifth brother... is trying to protect himself, so he's not that stupid.

I just don’t know how much sincerity there is in it.

Jing Yuanshou was waiting at the central parade ground with the Jing Clan's squad. When he saw Qin Zhaoyue and Qin Zhaochen riding side by side, he was surprised but showed no expression. He knelt down, clasped his fists and greeted them, "Jing Yuanshou, the chief general of the Jing Clan's Tiger Guard, respectfully welcomes the Crown Prince!"

Behind him, the few remaining generals in the Ganzhou camp also knelt down.

The soldiers had already recovered from the initial news of Sheng Sheng's rebellion, and were delighted to learn that the Western Di had been repelled by the prince.

The group dismounted and walked into the parade ground.

"No need to bow, soldiers." Qin Zhaoyue raised his hand and said.

He saw Gu Xu standing behind the crowd with cold eyes.

Qin Zhaochen asked: "Where is Li Yan?"

A man walked out of the army, who looked like an expert. He clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, Crown Prince, Your Highness, the Fifth Prince. There are six suspects in this rebellion, and they have all been detained."

"Really? Xiaowu is quite quick." Qin Zhaoyue smiled meaningfully.

The soldiers around were far away, and several of them stopped talking loudly. Qin Zhaochen's tone was also much more relaxed: "I raise birds and ride horses, and do some unskillful things, but I really can't do such things as raising an army to rebel and murder the crown prince."

He looked embarrassed: "God knows how terrified I was when that person told me this vicious plan... This is really treasonous, treasonous."

After saying that, Qin Zhaochen wiped his face, as if he was really scared.

Qin Zhaoyue said: "Let's go meet the traitor you caught."

Qin Zhaochen smiled and said, "Of course, Li Yan, lead the way."

All military affairs were temporarily handed over to the Jing father and son and General Xiao. Qin Zhaoyue and his party followed Li Yan to an inconspicuous stable in a corner of the camp.

Walking around a row of horse troughs and haystacks, Li Yan and his men swept away the scattered grass stems, revealing a cellar.

"Bring the person up." Qin Zhaochen said.

When he turned around, his eyes met with Gu Xu who followed him. Qin Zhaochen was slightly stunned, with doubt in his eyes, but he didn't say anything.

Gu Xu lowered his eyes and pretended not to see him.

The six generals in the cellar were brought up.

Qin Zhaoyue got straight to the point and asked, "Was this incident Mu You's plan?"

The leading deputy general Chen said, "I don't know what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is talking about. Why did he imprison us here for no reason? Fifth Prince! I am innocent! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must have misunderstood something..."

"Deputy General Chen, it was not my brother's idea to arrest you, but mine." Qin Zhaochen said, "Mu You is really bold, and he doesn't take the emperor's majesty into consideration at all. If my brother and I hadn't discovered your conspiracy in time, would Bei Qin have changed its surname to Mu?"

Gu Xu looked around, and there was no sign of Gu Yue among these people. The leader seemed to be Deputy General Chen?

He stepped forward.

Qin Zhaoyue smiled as she saw Gu Xu approaching. "You're back too. I didn't have time to talk to you just now at the training ground."

Gu Xu put on an unfriendly smile and turned to ask Deputy General Chen: "Where did the two people you locked up yesterday go?"

Qin Zhaochen was surprised that this person ignored the prince, and his royal brother didn't seem to be angry?

Deputy General Chen said: "...I don't know what you are talking about."

Gu Xu's face darkened.

When Qin Zhaoyue heard this, the corners of his mouth curved up.

"Are you talking about Boss Gu and his partner? I didn't see them when I came back. Maybe they left the city."

Gu Xu turned around and looked into his eyes.

"It was you who spread the news that the food and grass were poisonous to these people."

Qin Zhaoyue said: "No."

Gu Xu sneered.

Qin Zhaochen naturally knew about the poisoning, but he had no conflict of interest with Gu Yue and would not harm his life for no reason.

Qin Zhaoyue...

Gu Xu suddenly drew his sword and pointed it at Lieutenant General Chen's throat.

Deputy General Chen trembled with fear.

"You know what I'm asking, where is he?" Gu Xu's voice was cold.

Qin Zhaoyue did not stop him, and Qin Zhaochen did not know what was going on, so he did not say anything. The rest of the people did not take any action, and just stared blankly at the scene before them.

Gu Xu raised his wrist, the blade flashed, and one of Lieutenant General Chen's ears fell off.

Lieutenant General Chen was stunned for a moment before he felt the pain, but his hands were tied, so he could only squirm and scream, looking at Gu Xu in horror.

Qin Zhaoyue raised his hand and put it down again. Since Gu Xu knew the limit, he did not stop him.

He is already feeling guilty, why stop him?

I just hope that Lieutenant General Chen has the courage and would have killed Gu Dashi long ago.
