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

Shi San turned his wrist and raised the short knife in his hand, which collided with the big knife and knocked it back up.

The broadsword head was raised, but Fudao loosened his grip on the hilt.

He used the base of his palm to hit the blade, blocking Shi San's short blade, intending to deal with Gu Yue, whose martial arts was the weakest, first.

Gu Yue was well prepared.

He had walked a few steps away before Shi San made his move. By the time Fu Dao appeared and fought with Shi San, he had already run several meters away, so it became extremely difficult for Fu Dao to change his target.

Fu Dao's brows were solemn. It seemed that the leader would have to be killed later.

But he calmed down and looked at the man's moves again. He only saw defense and could not detect any murderous intent.

Shi San blocked the attack, but he had no intention of engaging in a fight, and he also ignored the flaws that Fu Dao deliberately exposed. He just focused on guarding Gu Yue's direction until Gu Xu, who was lying quietly on the ground, stood up.

Fu Dao opened his eyes slightly.

How is this going?

"A hidden knife?" Gu Xu asked.

Shi San stood quietly with the tip of his knife pointing downwards, with no intention of attacking. Fu Dao was in doubt, and the big knife turned and returned steadily to his hand.

"...Do you remember me?" Fu Dao asked in a deep voice.

Seeing that they had stopped fighting, Gu Yue hurried back. Before he reached Gu Xu, he saw the heavy scabbard blocking him and Gu Xu, and he shouted, "Stop!"

Gu Xu raised his hand and pushed the scabbard aside.

"Uncle Fu, he didn't surrender to the Crown Prince." Gu Xu said, "Everything that happened just now was just a trick we used to trick you into showing up."

"Yeah, strategy." Gu Yue nodded repeatedly. The unpredictable look on his face had disappeared, and he became gentle again. The smile he showed to Fu Dao was sincere, and his tone was full of apology: "I wanted Wu Feng to call you directly, but you ran away as soon as you approached, and there was no chance to talk. Uncle Fu, please sit down."

Gu Xu saw Fu Dao looking at him and nodded.

At the same time, Wuhuo and Wufeng also came out of the tent.

Wu Feng shouted, "Is it solved? Is this the mysterious Fu Dao?"

Gu Yue felt that Gu Xu seemed to be looking at him, so he turned back. Their eyes met and then separated, Gu Xu's expression seemed a little complicated, but he quickly sorted out his thoughts and turned to Fu Dao.

"I asked you to show yourself because I want to ask you about what happened back then."

Fu Dao's expression was complicated, and he seemed to not quite believe what he saw: "Xiao Xu, have you recovered your memory?"

"No." Gu Xu said, "Because of this, I don't know anything about what happened back then, and I can't find any clues."

Fu Dao looked at him for a long time, then asked, "Have you... decided to take revenge?"

"Yes." Gu Xu said.

Gu Yue walked up to him.

Fu Dao stared at their movements closely, then looked at Wu Feng and Wu Huo who looked as usual, and finally sighed.

Wu Feng and Shi San simply cleaned up the messy fire that had been made during the fight, and the few of them sat down again.

Gu Yue was the first to ask: "Uncle Fu, why didn't you reveal your identity in Chang'an before?"

"Let me start from the beginning." Fu Dao said.

The Su family has always had a cooperative relationship with the Chen Dao Feng sect, which is good at using swords. Fu Dao is one of the disciples who was sent to the Su family as a guard.

Fu Dao and Zhe Dao have been responsible for protecting Su Huaiyue and are loyal to her. After Su Huaiyue got married, Fu Dao was appointed by Su Huaiyue to secretly follow Gu Shen to protect his safety. Su Huaiyue then officially appointed Wu Men, who had been prepared for a long time, as her direct subordinate.

After that, Zhedao showed his talent in mechanical hidden weapons, so Su Huaiyue sent him to develop a mysterious hidden weapon found in ancient books. At the beginning, the Chaozhen Army was just an ordinary team that developed new gunpowder weapons, not an invincible large army.

"Later, Wumen's headquarters in Luoyang reported back news of unusual movements in the royal family, and then the case of Prince Shen's rebellion broke out. The emperor urgently summoned Prince Shen's family to the capital." Fu Dao said, "The master naturally knows the trick, but there is still a chance for things to turn around. As long as she delays for some time, she will be able to find out the whole story."

Gu Yue's eyes widened.

"So she ordered me to set off immediately and deliver an urgent letter to the Su family in Luoyang, asking them to help." Fu Dao said.

Gu Yue was shocked: "Is this really the case? What about Xiao Xu? How did he leave Prince Shen's Mansion in the first place?"

Fu Dao said, "This is the preparation made by the master and Gu Shen. Gu Xu was young at the time, and there was no guarantee that he would not be held hostage by the emperor to threaten the two of them. So Gu Shen discussed with the master and decided to send Gu Xu out of Yunxi first to avoid the limelight."

He looked at Gu Xu and said in a deep voice, "Back then, I sent you to Luzhou and found Gu Mengliu and his wife, who had business dealings with Zhedao, and handed you and my wife over to them for care. Then, I went to Luoyang Su's to deliver a letter, and then, according to the master's instructions, I went to Tongshan to find Zhou Qiong, Gu Shen's subordinate, to deliver the letter. After doing all this, I rushed back to Yunxi..."

Fu Dao gripped the hilt of the knife tightly in his hand.

"I didn't expect that the entire Prince Shen's Mansion had been burned down, and the bodies of the master and Gu Shen were burned to charcoal." Fu Dao's expression was filled with anger. "In the past few years, I have been investigating what happened back then, but I have found nothing."

Gu Yue frowned. This news was completely beyond his expectations. Su Huaiyue really had a plan to get out of this, but why didn't she implement it? Why did she end up setting herself on fire?

"Then what?" Gu Xu asked.

Fu Dao took a deep breath to calm himself, and then continued, "I encountered a sudden change, and it was difficult for me to have a specific idea for a while. Fortunately, the master gave me a third letter before I left, asking me to take a look at the letter if anything unexpected happened."

"What's written on it?" Gu Xu asked.

"It says that if the plan fails and the two of them die, we will find a wealthy family to take care of you." Fu Dao said, "My wife has practiced a technique that can control a person's soul. She has hidden your memory."

"So that's how it is." Gu Yue suddenly realized.

Another application of hypnotherapy? But this one is even better.

"In addition... the master left you Wumen and the unformed Chaozhen Army. The Chaozhen Army continued to develop that kind of weapon in the mountains of Xidi, while Wumen lay dormant and waited for the opportunity."

"Gu Mengliu and his wife said that since we share the same surname, we are destined to be together, and they are willing to adopt you." Fu Dao said, "They are good people, their family background is simple and clear, and they live in an inconspicuous village near Luoyang, so I agreed to this matter."

"What kind of business are they doing with Su Huaiyue?" Gu Yue asked.

"It should be a part of that weapon. I am not in charge of this matter, so I am not sure." Fu Dao said, "But since then, in order to avoid suspicion on both sides, we have stopped communicating. I only heard about the news of the Gu family's extermination recently."

Gu Xu lowered his eyes and said nothing.

"Where is your wife? Can you ask her to unlock the...powers that Xiao Xu has?" Gu Yue asked.

Fu Dao glanced at Gu Xu and shook his head.
