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

Gu Xu's back is very strong, and through a layer of cloth, one can touch the solid muscles underneath.

Gu Yue's fingers moved down along his shoulders, feeling around for a while, but he didn't feel that he had lost much weight. But this slightly higher embrace was really reassuring, something Gu Yue had never experienced before, and forgot to let go.

Tumeng was covered in deer blood as his skin was peeled off and he stood there in shock.

"Who, who is this person?" Tumeng asked weakly.

Only then did Gu Xu let go of the person in his arms.

Gu Yue felt a little awkward. He smiled and introduced: "This is my son. He came to see me."

Tumen nodded. He realized that the two men seemed to have something to say: "Please come in and talk. I will talk to this brother after I skin the deer."

Gu Xu nodded to him and said, "Thank you for taking him in."

Gu Yue pulled him into the house, unable to hide the joy on his face: "You really came! How is the situation in Ganzhou? Is it going well?"

He was just on a whim, so he tore his clothes and tied them to a tree branch in front of the village, hoping to see the scene in the novel where "the protagonist finds an important partner with the scraps of clothes", but he didn't expect...

"Yeah." Gu Xu's eyes did not move, staring at him closely.

Gu Yue touched his face subconsciously.

He waited for Gu Xu to continue speaking, but he didn't hear him continue speaking, so he gave him a puzzled look.

"Why did you come here? I thought you..." Gu Xu paused, "The people in the camp said you were under house arrest, and the food in the tent was poisoned."

Gu Yue heard a hint of grievance in his tone.

"I don't know who spread the news that I discovered the poison in the rations after Qin Zhaoyue went to war." Gu Yue curled his lips, "Then Mu You's men naturally noticed me. They probably wanted to take me in for interrogation, or just kill me directly so that there would be no evidence when the court investigated."

"It was Qin Zhaochen who detained those people, and they were too busy to take care of themselves." Gu Xu said.

"So...ah, Qin Zhaochen?"

"Yes. He claimed that he was advised by a rebel general to conspire to kill the prince." Gu Xu told him what he had seen.

"It seems that things are basically the same as I thought."

Gu Yue pondered. This time he managed to escape by chance, it was all due to luck. The Fifth Prince stood on their side for some reason and arrested the people who stayed behind in the camp in time.

But he still couldn't figure it out. Why would the fifth prince expose his own maternal grandfather? Killing one's relatives for the sake of justice is certainly commendable, but in Northern Qin, it is easy to be accused of disregarding filial piety.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Gu Xu continued, "I heard from the guard that there were four people with you when you left the city. Who were the other two?"

He had just seen Shi San.

"I was just about to say this. Wen Qing did come to Ganzhou, but I don't know why he came here. And..."

Gu Yue’s expression is hard to describe.

"Anything else?" Gu Xu sat down at the table.

"That Pin'an is the third prince Qin Zhaoning." Gu Yue said.

Gu Xu frowned immediately. He had guessed that Pin An was not an ordinary person, but he had never thought about Qin Zhaoning.

However, it sounds unbelievable that Wen Qing came to Ganzhou and Qin Zhaoning sneaked out of Luoyang to find him, but when it comes to Qin Zhaoning... it's quite reasonable.

"The two people who left the city with you are Wen Qing and Qin Zhaoning?"

"That's right." Gu Yue recounted their encounter with Wen Qing and the others at the stable, and then said, "If Wen Qing came here for the matter of Baoshun Pharmacy, it's hard to see what role he played in this incident. With his IQ, it shouldn't be possible."

"Then he is the Fifth Prince's man."

Gu Yue nodded. This was indeed the most reasonable inference.

"We had previously concluded from the incident with the man in red that Wen Qing was likely to betray us. Now it seems..."

Gu Yue raised three fingers.

"First, Wen Qing intervened in the affairs of the pharmacy and tried to keep the secret of Jiaoyuan at all costs, which shows that he and Mu You are in the same group."

"Second, Wen Qing rebelled. It is known that he has three masters: the Fifth Prince, Mu You, and Qin Zhaoning."

"Third, he came to Ganzhou secretly, and Mu You's plan to stop it was still carried out smoothly under Wen Qing's secret operation. The prince has also arrested a bunch of people. The fifth prince's goal is to expose Mu You to atone for his crime..."

Gu Yue concluded:

"It's true that Wen Qing betrayed, but he betrayed twice. The first time he betrayed Qin Zhaoning, and they have already quarreled over this, so we don't need to worry about it. The second time he betrayed Mu You and secretly manipulated to try to bring him down."

"This is Infernal Affairs." Gu Yue sighed.

"Hmm?" Gu Xu understood the previous part, but what did the last sentence mean?

What does it have to do with the Avici Hell?

Gu Yue did not explain, and continued: "Lingfeng Pavilion, I think it is Mu You's people."

"Why?" Gu Xu listened to his analysis carefully.

"From the way Qin Zhaoning was feeling when he found out about Wen Qing's betrayal, it seems like it's no big deal." Gu Yue thought that Qin Zhaoning was such a proud and arrogant person, "But betraying Mu You is a big deal!"

Gu Xu said: "Indeed... the Ganzhou case is really a huge one. If Wen Qing is the mastermind behind it, then his position is crucial."

"By the way, how are things at the mine?" Gu Yue thought of many things in Pinghu Town.

"Everything went well." Gu Xu said, "I asked Qin Zhaoyue to seal up several of Yin Shun's properties, and he really took action. We followed the silver carriage to a tunnel that led to Mu You's old residence in Ganzhou. Unfortunately, Meng Jincheng and the mine manager were killed, and Yin Shun also committed suicide. We only caught Yin Bai, the man in black we were chasing that night."

"Yin Shun committed suicide?" Gu Yue opened his eyes wide.

"Well. This matter is a bit troublesome. We are missing a key witness." Gu Xu said.

Gu Yue frowned deeply.

"What was found in the General's Mansion?"

Gu Xu didn't say anything.

"Ah?" Gu Yue was confused as to why he was silent again.

"I didn't look at it. I came directly to you." Gu Xu said in a low voice.

Gu Yue...his face felt a little hot.

He immediately thought that he must have overthinking it, but it was hard to deceive himself. Such an important matter, Gu Xu just left it alone, and came to find me eagerly, and just now he was hugging me so tightly...

He was silent. It was hard for him to attribute all of this to the father-son relationship, or to regard it as the complex of a fledgling that had suffered so much and suddenly saw the light of day. Gu Xu was definitely not as simple as he appeared.

How to say it? He dared not ask anything. He was...

He is Gu Dashi.

Seeing his reaction, Gu Xu was not too disappointed and gently let the matter go: "Should we go back to Ganzhou, or..."

"Let's go back." Gu Yueshun walked down the stairs. "I have something to ask Yin Bai. Only witnesses may not be enough to prove that this was Mu You's trick. He is in Luoyang, so he can just put the blame on Yin Shun."

Gu Xu smiled at him: "Okay. Let's go back."
