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

All the Fengtang subordinates in the room knelt down, waiting for Gu Xu's decision.

Gu Xu slowly spread the pages of paper on the table and arranged them in a row. He stared at the handwriting for a long time and finally spoke.

"These……"

Wu Feng didn't dare to breathe. What would the master decide? Even a dull person like him could see that the master valued Gu Dashi. These letters almost confirmed the fact that Gu Dashi was a spy.

Wu Feng felt pain in his chest, and it was heart-wrenching.

My good brother...how could you be...

Gu Xu said: "Don't worry about it. The plan will proceed as usual."

Wu Lan looked up in surprise.

"Master, but this letter..."

"There are many people who can imitate handwriting." Gu Xu said, "Besides, there are many doubts in the letter, which is not enough to prove anything."

"Master!" Wu Lan said, "What if Gu Dashi is really a spy?"

Gu Xu had a cold face and said nothing.

Wu Feng also advised: "Master, after all, there is no evidence, and trust alone cannot guarantee safety. If the matter is leaked, it will endanger the lives of our brothers."

Wu Lan said: "To be on the safe side, we should imprison Gu Dashi, find out the truth, and investigate everything thoroughly."

Wu Feng hesitated for a moment: "There is no need to torture him, just lock him up until we are done with our business... By then he will naturally be helpless and can only complain to the master..."

Gu Xu said: "No."

Wu Lan frowned deeply.

"How much does Gu Dashi know? Master, now is not the time to act on your emotions," he said.

"He doesn't know the details, so you guys should do it boldly." Gu Xu said, "Also, close the martial arts hall in Liuli Town, and call all the people who were on duty in the martial arts hall back to the capital for trial."

"Master?!" Wu Lan opened his eyes wide.

"Although the things mentioned in this letter are not comprehensive, it can be seen that the martial arts school's affairs have been leaked." Gu Xu said, "Investigate."

Wu Lan bowed his head and said, "Yes!"

"Wu Feng." Gu Xu said.

"Master." Wu Feng responded.

"Don't tell him about this." Gu Xu said, "There is no need to investigate him and Shi San. Do you understand?"

"Why?" Wu Feng was puzzled. "Since Boss Gu is a suspect, then we should investigate thoroughly. It will be good for everyone... At the very least, we should ask Boss Gu."

"I told you, it's not necessary." Gu Xu said, "This is a tactic to sow discord."

Wu Feng said: "Okay, I understand."

"Everyone in Fengtang must keep their mouths shut." Gu Xu said.

Everyone kneeling on the ground said yes. Gu Xu put away the letters and threw them in front of Wu Feng: "These...keep them safe, don't let anyone find them."

"Yes." Wu Feng nodded.

……

Because of this incident, the whole Wumen was shrouded in a low pressure.

Gu Yue was completely unaware of this. He huddled in the Ji Shi Courtyard, repeatedly pondering over the words the emperor had said to him.

The emperor wanted to attack the real army.

In the eyes of the court officials, Gu Xu was completely tied to the crown prince at this time. And the only breakthrough might be Gu Dashi.

Qin Zhaoyue is the crown prince and will inherit the throne in the future, but this does not mean that the emperor can tolerate a crown prince with elite troops under his command lurking under the dragon throne and challenging his dignity as an emperor.

Gu Yue wrote down his speculations about the prince and the emperor on rice paper.

Then came the King of Yin.

King Yin believed that he could control him with the stewed food, and he also knew that Gu Xu was now obeying his orders without resistance. But he was already an earl, and the prince was likely to stand on his side. Why was King Yin still so confident that Gu Xu would obey him?

Gu Yue was about to put pen to paper, but then he shook his head.

Judging from the situation, King Yin didn't know about the Chao Zhen Army, otherwise he wouldn't have used such a simple method to blackmail him. King Yin's goal should still be to win the support of the Su family...

The Su family is a family of civil officials with many students all over the world. Winning their support will not increase his military strength. He can only make his path to succession smoother through the mouths of students all over the world. Could it be...

Could it be that the King of Yin already had a mature army and was confident that he could succeed in his rebellion and ascend to the throne in one fell swoop?

Gu Yue had a headache.

What about the rest?

The emperor now has six princes. The second, third and fourth princes are not very capable, and the sixth prince Gu Yue is not very familiar with. Only Qin Zhaoyue and Qin Zhaochen have some potential. After the Ganzhou incident, the fifth prince was imprisoned and could not leave. King Yin was naturally very comfortable without such a big competitor as Mu You.

Next, if he were the King of Yin, he would try to stir up conflicts between the Emperor and the Crown Prince, letting them fight among themselves so that he could reap the benefits.

The original text seems to follow this pattern?

Qin Zhaoyue turned into a vegetable and only Gu Xu was left to fight King Yin. It seemed to be the emperor's work. The father and son fought and both suffered losses, and King Yin naturally showed his head.

Gu Yue subconsciously hit his head with the end of the brush, and a string of ink spots suddenly appeared on the rice paper.

"Oh." Gu Yue quickly put down his pen and picked up the rice paper.

Gu Xu came in from outside.

Seeing Gu Yue holding a piece of paper, he asked, "What are you writing?"

"I have analyzed the thoughts of these people." Gu Yue said, "By the way, the emperor seems to want the Chaozhen Army in your hands. He probably thinks that you are now tied to the prince, so it is not easy to start with you."

"Yes. Maybe he arranged for me to go to the Ministry of War to find out my flaws." Gu Xu said, "What else did he say?"

"So do you want to go? The imperial edict hasn't been issued yet, so there's still room for maneuver." Gu Yue said.

"Yes." Gu Xu replied, "Going to the Ministry of War will only benefit me."

"That's good. The emperor has also found out about what happened back then, so he thinks that we are only on good terms on the surface, and that I am actually a treacherous villain waiting to reap the benefits behind the scenes." Gu Yue said with a smile, "I can't think of any good solution for the time being, so I can only go along with him. Otherwise, if all these forces attack together, I really won't be able to cope with it."

"I know, you did a good job." Gu Xu walked closer and raised his hand to touch his cheek.

Gu Yue's old face turned red, and he quickly took his hand and held it in his palm.

"What did you do when you went back?" he asked.

"It's just a trivial matter." Gu Xu lowered his head and rested his chin on his shoulder.

Gu Yue thought, trivial matters? Not necessarily. Gu Xu rarely went back. This time he left in a car without caring about the spies in the palace. It must be a big deal.

If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me. It's not a big deal, Gu Yue thought.

He put his arm around Gu Xu's waist. It felt really good and it was very comfortable to hug her.

The two of them stayed quietly in the room for a while.

Gu Yue suddenly asked: "Why do you seem to be in a bad mood?"

Gu Xu did not answer.

Gu Yue then pulled away a little and observed his expression carefully.

Gu Xu felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, and turned his eyes away: "It's just that the plan didn't go smoothly, it's not a big deal."

"Oh." Gu Yue said.

Sure enough, something happened.

He stroked Gu Xu's vest soothingly: "If only I could help you."

"You've been doing very well. In the past few days...you should stay at home and go out less." Gu Xu said, "It will be over soon."

Gu Yue blinked. Then he nodded.
