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

The veins on Gu Xu's forehead were throbbing.

"But fortunately, most people tend to believe that you were coerced by Lord Dun Xin. After all, you are younger and have a better family background, so it is understandable that you were targeted by such an evil adoptive father." Tang Wuling had a hint of gloating on his face, "I think that by now, officials of all levels in the three provinces and six ministries should know about this."

He looked at Gu Xu, who was frowning, and asked, "What are you going to do?"

Gu Xu was in deep thought.

He didn't care about these rumors. Some things were already a foregone conclusion, and his own path had already been paved. He didn't care about his reputation. Only Gu Yue... He was only worried about Gu Yue. He didn't know how far the rumors had developed. As for the vixen, what did he think about it?

Glancing at Tang Wuling beside him, Gu Xu gave up the idea of ​​sending a message through him. This person was not reliable enough.

"For people in our courtyard, all communications must be strictly reviewed." Tang Wuling seemed to understand what he meant and explained, "The person who communicated with the inside and outside was arrested before. Now, I can't pass on the news without alerting my people."

He paused, and then said, "As far as I know, another team from the Hidden Dragon Guard also secretly went south, apparently to deal with the epidemic."

Hidden Dragon Guard...

Gu Xu frowned.

If what Tang Wuling said was true, then his guesses were probably correct.

Among the traitors left in Bo's mansion, there was the emperor's man. The rumor this time was probably part of his plan.

What is he for?

Why would he plot to damage both of their reputations?

"Is there any way to leave early?" Gu Xu asked Tang Wuling.

"I'm afraid not." Tang Wuling said, "No matter what countermeasures you have, it's best to hold back now."

Gu Xu was a little anxious.

Why not bring the plan forward?

No, the situation in Jiangnan has not been resolved yet, and the layout around King Yin has not yet been formed. If we act rashly at this time, we may fail.

I just hope Shi San can take good care of the vixen until he gets to his side.

……

Gu Yue had a safe journey.

After a few days of traveling, the team only stopped to rest at night and continued to travel. The team leader Su Muying showed a diligent work attitude and seemed to have never slacked off. He did not talk to Gu Yue or assign any work to him, as if he just treated him as a mascot who was inserted halfway.

After sleeping in the carriage for a few days, they finally arrived at a small southern town beside the official road. The inn in this town was quite large, so everyone finally didn't have to sleep on the carriage anymore and had a place to stay.

The officers and soldiers took turns guarding the herbal supplies for disaster relief downstairs, while the officials and their servants went upstairs to rest.

As a count, Gu Yue naturally got a room to rest.

Shi San silently helped him make the bed and fetch water, while Gu Yue brought the food sent by the inn, carefully tested it for poison, and then felt at ease to invite Shi San to eat.

"What kind of life is this?" he sighed, "I am so nervous all day long."

"Soon." Shi San rarely spoke to comfort him.

Outside, night fell quickly, with only a few lights still lit in the courtyard of the inn.

On the official road outside the inn, a man came on horseback alone. He stopped his horse at the entrance of the town, seemed to look at the ground, then walked along the ruts into the town and soon arrived at the door of the inn on the road.

The guards in the yard were either standing or sitting, and the arrangement was quite loose.

When the man got off his horse, the waiter who was refilling the horse trough at the door immediately came to greet him and asked, "Sir, are you here for a meal or to stay overnight?"

The man said, "Stay in the hotel. I see the lights are on upstairs. There are a lot of guests today? Are there any rooms upstairs?"

The waiter immediately apologized with a smile, "I'm sorry, sir. Many important people came today and booked all the upper rooms in our inn! But our middle rooms are also very exquisite and comfortable. What do you think, sir?"

Seeing the man frown, he immediately said, "Sir, we are the only inn in this town, and there are no other towns within a hundred miles. It's getting dark, so why don't you stay here for a night? It's safe and comfortable!"

The man seemed to think about it and nodded in agreement.

The waiter was very happy and led his horse to the manger in the yard.

The man asked, "Who are these high officials?"

"I heard it came from Luoyang, but I don't know much else. It's probably related to the epidemic in the south," said the waiter.

"From Luoyang? Was there a tall man with a scar on his forehead in the team? He also brought a servant who looked like a Western Hu person." The man raised his eyebrows curiously.

The waiter was very surprised: "Sir, you are amazing, how did you know? There really is such a person."

"That's a coincidence." The man smiled. "I came from Luoyang to look for him. I didn't expect that we would meet by chance. Which room does he live in?"

"It's on the fourth floor, room number TianziC," the waiter said attentively.

After tying up the horse, he led the new guest to the lobby, checked him in, and then escorted him upstairs.

In the shadows, Su Muying, who was asking the innkeeper about the epidemic situation in Jiangnan, saw this man.

Seeing Lord Su looking over there, the boss was also smart and immediately waved for the waiter to come over.

"Who is that?" the boss asked on behalf of Su Muying.

Su Muying was very pleased with his tactfulness and couldn't help but look at him more.

"Oh, that's a guest who just came to stay at the hotel." The waiter replied, "What a coincidence, he knows one of the adults in the group and said he wanted to catch up with them."

"Which one?" the boss asked again.

"It's the man with a scar on his face who is accompanied by a Xihu guard." The waiter replied.

Su Muying raised his eyebrows.

"How is the sound insulation here?" Su Muying asked.

The boss looked embarrassed and said, "Very good." He whispered, "I guess you can't hear it if you eavesdrop."

Su Muying nodded.

"You have all worked hard, go down now," he said.

The boss said yes repeatedly, and warned the waiter in person not to talk too much, and the two men retreated.

"What a waste of talent." Su Muying looked at the boss's back and shook his head.

……

The man went upstairs, but did not go directly to his room to rest. Instead, he went straight to the fourth floor and went straight to Room No. Tianzi C.

He knocked on the door.

It was Shi San who opened the door. When Shi San saw him, his brows immediately furrowed.

"Who is it?" Gu Yue wiped his hands and walked to the door. When he saw the face of the person, he immediately opened his eyes wide: "Wu Fei? Why are you here?"

He was about to ask if Gu Xu brought any news, but quickly stopped talking.

Wu Fei has been sent to the periphery because of the last incident. If you want to send a letter, you won’t go through him, and you won’t rashly enter through the gate like this. Aren’t you afraid of being seen by those people?

Shi San reacted faster and had already drawn his dagger.

"Wait, don't fight here." Gu Yue said quickly.

Wu Fei glanced at Shi San, smiled faintly, and then looked at Gu Yue behind him.

"Boss Gu. Is it convenient? Let's talk." He said coldly.

"It's not very convenient." Gu Yue said. He felt that this man couldn't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth.
