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

"Almost?" Qin Zhaoning murmured.

The atmosphere suddenly became quiet, with only the sound of wind and birds singing in the woods, and the sound of horses' hooves trampling through leaves.

Wen Qing didn't say anything.

Qin Zhaoning looked unhappy. He said, "You were sent to my side when you were little, so we have known each other for many years. Even now, you are still hiding things from me and refusing to tell me anything?"

Wen Qing suddenly realized, has he been with Qin Zhaoning for more than ten years?

Unfortunately, his feelings were not pure from the beginning. He did it for the Mu family, for Lingfeng Pavilion... from the beginning, it was not for Qin Zhaoning.

Wen Qing thought for a long time.

Qin Zhaoning didn't say anything either. He rode ahead on horseback. When he reached the foot of a hill, he looked around and then dismounted.

"This is a good location. I'm also tired. Please make a fire. I need to rest for a while." Qin Zhaoning ordered.

Seeing that it was quiet and secluded all around, Wen Qing also dismounted, cleaned up an area, spread out a blanket, and then lit a fire.

"Why don't we go back to Ganzhou directly?" Qin Zhaoning said while chewing on the heated dry food.

Then he rejected the proposal and said, "No, no. We can't go back directly. Find the nearest town to ask around. If Qin Zhaoyue is okay, we can go back to Ganzhou... If he's dead, then..."

"What should we do then?" Wen Qing asked him.

"Then...the two of us will flee to the ends of the earth." Qin Zhaoning said.

"Can you bear that hardship?" Wen Qing smiled. "The Queen Mother likes you, and they don't have any evidence. You will be fine."

"It's easy for me to survive, but what about you?" Qin Zhaoning scolded him, "You are involved with the Fifth Prince and me, but I survived when I returned, but what about you?"

"I can also flee to the ends of the earth myself." Wen Qing said with his eyes lowered.

"Come on!" Qin Zhaoning refused without thinking, and then said: "How can I absolve myself of the crime if you are not by my side... If Qin Zhaoyue dies, it is not something that can be solved by crying to the Empress Dowager."

Wen Qing looked at him without saying anything, and the two of them fell silent again.

After a while, Wen Qing said, "I'm telling you, it's just..."

Qin Zhaoning looked at him.

"Just listen to me and don't act on impulse, at least not now." Wen Qing said, "This forest is close to the hunting grounds of the Xidi people. It would be dangerous to act alone."

"I know." Qin Zhaoning clenched his fists.

"...I have been a member of Lingfeng Pavilion since the beginning." Wen Qing said, "Lingfeng Pavilion was once a gang, but now it works for Mu You. I was rescued by the Pavilion Master of Lingfeng Pavilion when I was young. He taught me martial arts and power, and then sent me to you when I was a teenager."

Qin Zhaoning opened his eyes wide. He couldn't speak, and didn't know what to say, so he just listened quietly.

"The Pavilion Master asked me to work for Mu You. Mu You said that at the right time, he would draw suspicion onto you and guide you to fight against the Crown Prince and various forces." Wen Qing bowed his head and said, "But..."

"It turned out to be like this... from the very beginning..." Qin Zhaoning immediately thought of all the details of these years and felt a sharp pain in his heart. But he still remembered what he had just agreed to, and although he was full of disappointment and anger at being betrayed, he still listened.

"You said that you and I have been friends for many years. This is the fact and cannot be refuted. I..." Wen Qing rarely looked into Qin Zhao's eyes. He paused and said with difficulty: "Whether you believe it or not, I have been looking for a way out of this situation all these years."

"you……"

Wen Qing said: "The reason why I left Luoyang for the Ganzhou incident was to continue to push forward the plan that was stalled because of the Fifth Prince's trip to the border. In this way, the Fifth Prince can seize the rebel general in the Ganzhou camp and use it as a token of surrender in exchange for his and Concubine Mu's safety. And you and I can both get away because of Mu You's downfall."

"Why would Old Five do this? Mu You is so powerful. If he took the opportunity to get rid of Qin Zhaoyue, he could make some efforts to gain credit. Father likes him... Why would he cut off his own arm?"

"Mu You is too powerful." Wen Qing said.

Qin Zhaoning thought about it for a moment and understood.

The Lingfeng Pavilion mentioned by Wen Qing is definitely not an ordinary organization. In the conversation between Wen Qing and Boss Gu last night, it was mentioned that the food and grass were poisoned, and there were traitors in the Ganzhou army. Mu You could run such a conspiracy, so he would never be at ease to assist a grandson to become emperor. I'm afraid his plot is the entire Northern Qin.

"I can't tell at ordinary times, but Old Five is only in his teens, but he can see things so clearly." Qin Zhaoning said to himself.

Wen Qing did not speak. He also felt that Qin Zhaochen had awakened too quickly and too thoroughly. This person took the initiative to contact him, and he could see at a glance that he wanted to help Qin Zhaoning out of the situation. A fourteen-year-old child...

Concubine Mu taught him so well.

"Things have come to this point. The success or failure of you and me depends on Qin Zhaoyue." Wen Qing said, "The original plan was that the fifth prince stayed in the camp, found the traitor, controlled General Mu who was accompanying him, and prevented him from going to the battlefield with Qin Zhaoyue. But he suddenly left the city last night, so I chased him out of the city."

Qin Zhaoning said: "It is unlikely that Lao Wu would go out to kill the prince again at this time."

He suddenly remembered something and said, "Oh, yes, you know that Boss Gu, right? I stayed with him for a while in Pinghu Town, north of Ganzhou City. They seemed to be busy with something. Later, when we arrived in Ganzhou City, Boss Gu wanted to meet the prince again. I guess they were the prince's backup."

"Is there such a thing?" Wen Qing was stunned.

Qin Zhaoning said: "Moreover, the plan that Lao Wu told you is probably incomplete. He stayed in the Ganzhou camp and controlled the rebel generals, so what? The prince outside the city is unaware of the situation and will still be attacked from both sides. By then, the deputy general will lead his men back to the Ganzhou camp, and he will be forced to rebel even if he doesn't want to. So this person must have some backup plan..."

Wen Qingmo, what Qin Zhaoning said is right, he has also thought about these things.

But it is still not 100% safe.

"This concerns our lives, so we'd better be cautious." Wen Qing said.

Qin Zhaoning had no objection. Wen Qing always did things cautiously.

The two were silent for a while. Wen Qing then remembered to pay attention to Qin Zhaoning's mood. Looking carefully, Qin Zhaoning looked confused.

After a moment, the third prince seemed to remember something and his face suddenly turned angry.

"You actually betrayed me! You are not allowed to come back to my house until I calm down. I don't want to see you!"

Qin Zhaoning turned his head away angrily.

Die Wen Qing!

Don't think that he will forgive you just because he keeps making amends for what happened in the past!

Wen Qing didn't say anything.

He really knew Qin Zhaoning well. Such behavior actually showed that he was not too angry... He could just be comforted.

Thinking of this, Wen Qing's expression finally relaxed.

According to the current situation, Mu You is unlikely to survive. He can also escape from Mu You's control and completely remove Qin Zhaoning from the power struggle.

"Do you want to be emperor?" Wen Qing asked him.
