After doing all this, Mu You still felt at a loss.

The fundamental problem has not been solved.

He turned and walked to the treasure chest in the main hall, preparing to take out the token given to him by Lingfeng Pavilion, when the door was knocked again.

"Who?!" Mu You roared.

"Master! There's a letter from Ganzhou!" someone outside shouted.

The doorman was waiting anxiously at the door with an envelope in his arms. The door in front of him was opened with a bang, and Mu You stared at him closely: "Where's the letter?"

The concierge handed him the letter with trepidation.

Mu You tore open the envelope and read the contents carefully. After a while, he let out a long sigh. Although he did not smile with relief, his expression was obviously much better.

"So that's how it is, so that's how it is..." Mu You muttered to himself, "As expected, as expected! Sir is really a master of predictions, as expected, there is still a chance of turning around! You, go and call the three young masters over, I have something to tell you!"

The doorman nodded hurriedly, turned and ran away.

Mu You crumpled the letter in his hand into a ball.

"Those brats have a conscience and didn't betray me... If everything goes well, Qin Zhaoyue... you still can't escape this disaster!"

The Ganzhou generals all spoke in unison, and Yin Bai had already dealt with the matter thoroughly without leaving any loopholes.

The letters he exchanged over the years were not written by him personally, and he used many pseudonyms. When the time comes, he can just push out a scapegoat, and the emperor won't be able to explain anything!

After all, Northern Qin cannot do without his Mu family!

……

After anxiously waiting in the Ganzhou courtyard for a few days, Gu Xu finally returned with a great victory.

He brought a letter of greetings from the Right King to the Emperor of Northern Qin, as well as many tributes expressing gratitude. As for the evidence in the letter in the hands of the Left King, he and Qin Zhaoyue did not make a public statement, waiting to return to the capital to give the unprepared Mu You a fatal blow.

After briefly handing over the affairs of the Jing army and handing over the envoys sent by the Right King to Qin Zhaoyue for settlement, Gu Xu went straight to the Ganzhou courtyard.

The corner door opened and Gu Yue was drinking tea in the yard.

The two of them suddenly met each other's eyes.

"Xiao Xu!" Gu Yue dropped his teacup and strode over. Gu Xu didn't hesitate at all, not caring about the look from Shi San who was standing in the yard, and hugged him with his arms.

Gu Yue was silent for a moment, then patted his back: "We haven't seen each other for just a few days, is there any need to be so enthusiastic? Go away now."

Gu Xu didn't let go at all.

Gu Yue pulled the corner of his mouth to hide his joy.

He asked, "What's the situation with Xidi? When we separated, the situation was urgent and he didn't say anything."

"...very smoothly." Gu Xu said, "Everything went smoothly. Also, I got the tiger talisman of the Chaozhen Army."

Gu Yue opened his eyes wide in surprise.

"No, wait, didn't you say you had got it when we were still in Luoyang?" Gu Yue grabbed the back of his collar and barely tore him out of his arms.

Gu Xu's eyes wandered.

"You lied to me again." Gu Yue understood and his face suddenly fell.

"I just don't want to make you worry." Gu Xu lowered his head to admit his mistake and looked at him sincerely.

"Okay." Gu Yue couldn't stand this look and could only forgive.

Gu Xu took his hand and sat down at the small stone table: "What about you? Does anyone want to do something to you?"

"No." Gu Yue said, "Only Wu Feng knows this place. He is very reliable."

Gu Xu nodded, his expression relaxed, and continued.

"Also, I know why King Yin and Qin Zhaoyue both want to win me over."

"For the Chaozhen Army? We have already said this." Gu Yue said.

"Yes. The Chaozhen army has mastered an advanced gunpowder weapon that can be held by one person and fires gunpowder like a hidden weapon." Gu Xu said.

"What?!" Gu Yue was shocked.

Could it be a pistol?

He immediately felt a sense of absurdity. Another time traveler? Chao Zhenjun was a man left behind by Gu Xu's parents. Could it be that one of Gu Shen and Su Huaiyue was a time traveler?

The original text didn’t say that!

"Did you bring it? Let me see!" Gu Yue asked anxiously.

"No, I'll show it to you when I get back to Luoyang." Gu Xu explained, "It's quite large and there's a risk of self-destruction, so I didn't bring it."

After hearing this, Gu Yue felt relieved.

Think about it again, gunpowder is one of the four great inventions of China, and it was quickly used in wars in modern history. Northern Qin was open and civilized, with an advanced society, so it is not surprising that muskets appeared so early.

And from Gu Xu's description, this thing is obviously very backward and far from the level of modern pistols.

Gu Xu observed his expression carefully.

From the reaction, it looked like the vixen knew what it was.

But Gu Xu did not ask any further questions.

Gu Yue said: "Since you are back, come with me to the General's Mansion again."

"what happened?"

"Didn't Wufeng tell you? Yin Bai is dead. Things seem strange, but I don't dare to go by myself, so I'll wait for you to go together." Gu Yue said with a smile.

"Okay." Gu Xu nodded in agreement.

……

The two men took Shi San and went straight to the general's mansion.

The wartime blockade on the streets had been lifted, and the people had all poured out of their homes, making the place extremely lively. In contrast, the front of the general's mansion was deserted and quiet, with only the patrolling Jing's army and Wumen's subordinates standing guard.

The guards all knew Gu Xu, so they were not stopped and the three of them entered the door together.

He called the young leader of the Wumen who was in charge of the general's mansion. Gu Yue didn't know this man. He introduced himself as Wuqi, and he should be a subordinate of Wuyan.

Wu Qi led him and the group went straight to the toilet where Yin Bai died.

Gu Yue arrived next to the toilet.

It was not popular to draw white lines around corpses to mark their locations at that time. When Gu Yue arrived, he only saw a pile of stepped feces and a pair of cloth shoes stained with feces in front of the toilet door.

The toilet was in the shape of a Chinese character “回”, with a small door and a small pit separated by a wall, forming a folded passage. You couldn’t see what was going on inside the toilet from the door.

The pile of feces was not far from the pit. The bloodstain was at the bend of the passage. There was a protruding stone at the base of the wall.

"Has this stone always been here?" Gu Yue asked Wu Qi.

"We don't know. This toilet was originally used by the servants of the general's mansion, and few people have paid attention to the situation inside." Wuqi replied.

"Where was Yin Bai injured?"

"The back of the head. It hit this stone when he fell, and the appearance of the wound matches." Wuqi said.

"Is it bleeding?"

"There was some bleeding, but not much."

Gu Yue asked a rather disgusting question: "When you found him, was he incontinent?"

"This... no." Wu Qi looked a little embarrassed. Why did he ask this?

Gu Xu looked at his back with a smile on his face.

Gu Yue squatted down and looked around the stone.

There were some blood spatters on the stones, but none on the ground.

He went to the opposite wall, which was the entrance to the squat toilet, and searched slowly along the wall.

But... the ancient dry toilets were too smelly! Few people cleaned the general's mansion, so the environment of the toilets was extremely bad.

Before Gu Yue came to see it, he simulated some scenes in the courtyard and always felt that a pile of feces on the ground was very abrupt. But when he arrived at the toilet door, he realized that it was really not abrupt at all.

Dirty!
