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

"What?" Wu Ye was shocked.

Gu Xu asked, "Are they the ones in the fence behind the king's tent? How did you figure that out?"

Gu Yue replied: "Do you remember the tarpaulin on it?"

"Tarpaulin?" Gu Xu fell into deep thought.

"When we went to Zuihonglou that day, we looked down from the window and saw the tarpaulins covering the carriages, right?" Gu Yue said, "It was a dark yellow tarpaulin with some traces of rain on it. Plus, those carriages seemed to be narrower than ordinary vehicles, so I was sure."

Gu Xu nodded: "I understand. Those vehicles are parked in a fence, close to the king's tent. Ordinary caravan vehicles will not be parked there."

"That's right, Xiao Xu is really smart." Gu Yue smiled happily.

He then explained: "The army of Ganjin tribe is missing, and there is Yin Shun's carriage in Ganjin tribe. Since Yin Shun is Mu You's man, he should give priority to doing business with the Left King. The leader of Ganjin tribe is obviously a member of the Right King's faction, which is unreasonable."

"But I couldn't be 100% sure at that time. But if I guessed it right and Xiao Xu revealed his identity directly, we would be in danger."

Gu Xu said: "So you stopped me, tested me with words, and confirmed the actual situation."

"Yes!" Gu Yue said.

"This time we are all thanks to Boss Gu," Wu Huo said, "If he hadn't fooled Baktu for safety reasons, we would be in trouble now."

"It's not easy to escape from the king's tent. Besides, that Baktu is not stupid. What if he tricks us and kills us?" Wuye touched his chest, still feeling scared.

"What are you going to do next?" Gu Xu asked.

"What should we do?" Gu Yue lay down on the bed behind him: "Hasn't our goal been achieved? They will take us to find the Right King, and then we will find a chance to rescue him."

Gu Xu hummed: "Okay. Let's do it."

He reached out to touch Gu Yue's forehead and pushed aside the drooping hair.

The scar on his face had faded a bit, but it was still noticeable, and there had been no signs of change in recent years. Gu Xu looked at him, and it was still Gu Dashi's face, but he could hardly remember what Gu Dashi looked like.

"What are you looking at?" Gu Yue asked.

Wu Ye and his companions tactfully sat aside, a little further away from the two of them.

"You are becoming less and less like Gu Dashi." Gu Xu lowered his voice and spoke softly.

Gu Yue's heart skipped a beat.

Although he was prepared to be exposed, he still felt palpitations and embarrassment at this sentence. He didn't say anything, and didn't know how to respond, so he could only look up at the starry sky above his head.

The sky was like a dark semicircular cover, holding him tightly.

Amid the twinkling stars, Gu Xu's face forced its way into the field of vision.

"Speak." Gu Xu traced his eyebrows with his fingers.

"What are you talking about? The Milky Way is so beautiful, talking will ruin the view." Gu Yue changed the subject and made a zipper-like gesture with his hand at the corner of his mouth.

A trace of disappointment flashed across Gu Xu's face.

However, he did not continue to ask, but just lay down aside.

"When we go back..."

Gu Xu had only said half of his words when Gu Yue suddenly sat up and covered his mouth with his hand.

"Don't say such things! Such words are unlucky." Gu Yue said seriously.

"Why?" Gu Xu asked. Her hot breath and lips brushed against his palm as he spoke, and Gu Yue quickly retracted his hand.

"Think about it, the short stories in Hangdou Books and Newspapers always have this kind of plot." Gu Yue didn't dare to look at Gu Xu who was lying there, so he also lay down on the side.

"What kind?"

"'I'll retire after I'm done with this', 'I'll marry you when I come back from the border', 'We'll do this and that when this is over'... and so on. In the end, the people who said these things died and never saw that day." Gu Yue looked at the stars above his head and felt that he was also slowly spinning.

"I see." Gu Xu responded, "Then we'll talk about it later."

"That's right, let's talk about it later, let it flow naturally." Gu Yue said.

But if Gu Xu wanted to talk about that...

Then he hoped he would never mention it.

……

The Duoru grassland was indeed far away, and it took the team three or four days to reach their destination.

When he got here, Gu Yue's dizziness and lack of oxygen became more serious. He realized that his symptoms were not caused by "too nervous", but because the terrain in this area was elevated, he had a little altitude sickness.

Gu Xu, Shi San and others who climbed up this alpine grassland together, none of them felt anything.

how so!

However, Wuye, as the accompanying doctor, was happy to see Gu Yue in such pain.

There is no other reason, I finally have a chance to atone for my sins!

Wu Ye volunteered to dig around on the grassland for an hour and found three or four kinds of herbs. He crushed one of them and applied it to Gu Yue's face and plugged his nostrils, and boiled the others into a herbal soup, which he gave him a bowl of.

Gu Yue...is really fine.

The leader of the Xidi elite soldiers who were accompanying them saw this and said something with a smile.

Gu Xu's expression finally improved a little towards Wu Ye, and he translated, "He said that this disease is common, but people just endure it. This is the first time he's seen someone who can cure it."

Wu Ye said: "The terrain here is high, just like a person suddenly ascending to heaven, can you feel comfortable?"

He knows a lot. Gu Yue lay down to rest, thinking. But how can a few blades of grass cure this kind of disease caused by air pressure changes? What's the principle?

When he finally recovers, the team will be able to set off again.

The Duoru Grassland is surrounded by snow-capped mountains and stretches as far as the eye can see. Unfortunately, it is autumn now and there is no green and lush beauty. The surface is covered with dead grass and shrubs, which looks a bit bleak at first glance.

In the distance, a lake can be clearly seen, and beside the lake there is a large camp, which is heavily guarded by Western Di soldiers.

"This is a bit difficult." Gu Yue whispered to Gu Xu.

Gu Xu frowned slightly, looking a little solemn.

"Let's talk inside first," he said.

……

When they got close to the camp, the Xidi leader who had escorted them came forward, took out a token and handed it to the guard at the gate, saying something. The guard then took the token into the camp, and soon someone came to take them in.

The security here is extremely strict.

When they arrived at a large tent, the guard at the door said in awkward Chinese: "You must hand over your weapons before you can enter."

Gu Yue felt bad.

But now that things have come to this, in order not to expose their true purpose, everyone can only cooperate.

Someone else came and gave them a quick body search before they entered the big tent.

There was a round table in the big tent. A burly, tanned Xidi man was sitting at the table. When he saw them come in, he frowned and said, "Are you the people sent by Baktu? Are you from Northern Qin and Han?"

Gu Yue replied: "Not really from Northern Qin. Who are you?"

"I am Wu Ge, and I am here to guard the important prisoner on the order of King Zuo." Wu Ge said.

"Did the leader tell you the specific plan?"

"Well. You can go in to see the Right King, but only one person can go in." Wu Ge's eyes swept across their faces, as if he was judging something.

"Besides, I will be watching from the side." Wu Ge said.
