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

Gu Xu did not give Lieutenant General Chen time to think. He turned his wrist and cut again. This time a small piece of flesh was cut off and fell to the ground with a plop.

Deputy General Chen shouted, "I don't know, I don't know! I just ordered people to put those two people under house arrest, and they were caught and stuffed into this cellar. I don't know where they are!"

What a waste of time! Gu Xu gritted his teeth, turned around and walked quickly towards the nearest South City Gate.

The rest of the people did not stop him.

Qin Zhaochen was young, and he pursed his lips as he looked at the bloody pieces of flesh and ears on the ground.

He asked in a low voice: "Brother, who is this person?"

"A hero." Qin Zhaoyue said with a smile.

"Oh." No wonder Qin Zhaoyue didn't punish him.

Qin Zhaoyue said, "Deputy General Chen. My men's lingchi technique is better than that man's. If you want to live and live comfortably, you'd better confess as soon as possible."

Qin Zhaochen advised: "Brother Emperor, this will lead to impeachment and torture to force a confession."

"It doesn't matter. Their testimony is just a bonus. It will make no difference even if they are dragged out and beheaded to stabilize the morale of the army." Qin Zhaoyue said.

……

"Two groups of people left the city last night. One group was the Fifth Prince's men, and the other group followed closely. There were four people." The guard on duty last night said, "But it was very dark, and we didn't know who they were. We only know that it was Old Yang who let them out."

"Lao Yang?"

"Yes, he has been guarding the city gate for many years and is our captain. Old Yang!" The guard called out to the back, "The Crown Prince's men want to see you!"

The soldier named Lao Yang walked out from the side door of the stairs and looked doubtful when he saw Gu Xu.

"This gentleman is asking what the four people who went out last night looked like," said the guard.

"Who are you?" Old Yang asked, "Those who went out last night were all under the Fifth Prince's command. I don't know them either."

"You let them out of the city alone, but you said you didn't know them?" Gu Xu wanted to take action again. He hated talking nonsense.

Old Yang looked very alert.

Gu Xu had learned his lesson and knew that being straightforward would only make the outcome worse. Attacking innocent soldiers in the Ganzhou camp was not the same as cutting off the traitor's ear.

"I'm looking for a friend of mine. He seemed to have gone out of town last night." Gu Xu said, "There was a scar on his face, and there was a man with a Western appearance following him."

Old Yang's expression changed slightly.

But he couldn't confirm the camp of the person in front of him, and Wen Qing's affairs could not be exposed at will.

Gu Xu had already gotten the answer he wanted. He turned and left.

"Wait, who are you?" Old Yang stepped forward and asked.

Gu Xu endured for a moment and did not answer. He kept walking and even used his light skills. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from Lao Yang's sight.

Old Yang was very worried.

……

Gu Xu rode out of the city on horseback.

As the horses' hooves stepped out of the camp outside the city, Gu Xu looked at the loess slope in front of him, feeling dazed.

Where is he going to find it?

Where did the vixen go?

Gu Xu knew that there were still too many things that had not been resolved, including Yin Shun and Yin Bai in the General's Mansion, the hidden line that had not been removed from Baoshun Pharmacy, and the matter of Qin Zhaoyue in the Ganzhou camp...

Maybe he should go back, settle everything, end the war, and the vixen will naturally come back.

Will he...come back?

Gu Xu drove his horse forward and slowly walked towards Xidi.

He knew very well that he had not been kind to him. In the beginning, when he was only suspicious and testing this man, he pushed him out to be a target too many times, putting him in danger, and making him still be surrounded by murderous intentions from various forces until now.

The vixen was so smart, how could she not guess what he was doing and what he was thinking? But he never mentioned the past, and his attitude towards him remained the same, without any change.

Why... should I be nice to him?

Why do you always give in and compromise, and never show any interest in him when he is beyond the boundary of reason?

But Gu Xu's attempts always had responses.

She was not on guard against his unusual little actions and never resisted them; those actions that had already surpassed those of his adoptive father and son, was the vixen just slow, or...

Or to him...

Gu Xu came back to his senses in a daze.

Now he really needs to put the overall situation first. He has been planning for nearly three years and now that he is about to start the movement, he cannot let his guard down for even a moment.

but……

Gu Xu closed his eyes.

He couldn't deal with the chaos in Ganzhou without confirming Gu Yue's safety.

Where will the vixen go?

Gu Xu unfolded the map in his hand.

Someone had directed all the attention of the grain draft to him, and he must have sensed the murderous intent behind it. If he wanted to escape, the first choice should be to enter Ganzhou City. But he chose to leave...

Also, who are the other two people?

If he just wanted to avoid the limelight temporarily, he would definitely not go to the territory of Xidi which was in collusion with Mu You.

Gu Xu's sight fell on several Xidi villages close to the hills.

Shi San is from the Western Hu people, and they have something in common with each other in language. If the fox spirit has nowhere to go, it will inevitably consult Shi San's opinion.

Gu Xu squeezed the horse's belly, turned its head, and galloped toward the woods on the hills to the west.

……

Xidi, north of Ganjin tribe.

"Where exactly is this? Can you do this?" Qin Zhaoning asked loudly, "Are you trying to trick this prince out of Northern Qin and kill him?"

Wen Qing looked unhappy, but did not say anything back.

He was afraid that Qin Zhaoning could not stand the bloody battlefield, so he deliberately avoided the place where Qin Zhaoyue and the Xidi people fought. There were countless spies from both sides in this area. In order to avoid those eyes, he took many detours and arrived at the Xidi territory.

This forest is most likely the hunting ground of Xidi.

The nearest Xidi tribe is... the Ganjin tribe?

Wen Qing didn't know what the Fifth Prince was planning. Now that they were cut off from Ganzhou, he had no idea whether Qin Zhaoyue had won and returned to the city safely. If the Fifth Prince had lied to him and still wanted to kill the crown prince to seize the throne, then the possibility of him, Wen Qing, being dragged out to take the blame was very high.

By then, the fifth prince will have powerful troops and connections with the Western Di, and the emperor will really not be able to do anything to the Mu family.

Even the idiot beside him will be dragged into the conspiracy web he has woven himself.

Qin Zhaoning was so angry when he saw that he didn't say anything.

Wen Qing said: "We are a step late. The Fifth Prince should have already reunited with the Crown Prince."

"I roughly understand what you are talking about. Are you afraid that Lao Wu will kill the prince?" Qin Zhaoning didn't understand, but he got the point: "Then you, the accomplice, will be finished, right?"

Qin Zhaoning thought about it and found a loophole for himself: "But you are my man on the surface. Oh, so this plan is aimed at me. You want to put the crime of murdering the crown prince on my head!"

The third prince's eyes widened, his face full of horror.

"It's bad, it's bad. My eldest brother and I have always been at odds. If he dies and I secretly run away to Ganzhou, if my father finds out, I won't be able to explain myself even if I say a hundred times!"

Wen Qing got a headache after hearing this.

"That's not it," he said, "...but it's almost the same."
