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

Gu Yue woke up.

He opened his eyes, and it was dark in front of him. He could only barely see the outline of the top of the inn tent. His head hurt, and he raised his hand to touch his forehead, feeling dizzy.

Someone stood up and walked to the bed, and then the lantern was lit. It was Shi San.

Shi San handed over the water in his hand.

Gu Yue sat up and took a sip.

The strange taste of blood in his mouth was quickly diluted, and he held a cup of water to relax for a while.

Shi San said: "Go home? You were just...talking in your sleep."

Gu Yue was stunned for a moment.

Shi San said, "Leave now? Go back to Luoyang."

Gu Yue shook his head: "I'm dreaming."

Although the dream this time was equally vague, Gu Yue didn't need to think too much to know what he had dreamed about.

Things from childhood.

He really didn't want to recall that experience. This story kept washing over his mind for nearly twenty years before he barely got rid of the shadow.

What does it mean that I am dreaming about these things again?

Is God also reminding him that he is always useless and will only be a drag on others in the future?

A bloody taste rose in his throat again, Gu Yue quickly stopped thinking and took a deep breath.

Much better, I'm fine.

He said to Shi San, "How long have I slept?"

"Two hours. Now, the end of the Chou hour." Shi San said.

"Bring me a pen and paper." Gu Yue said, "I have something to send back... to Zhen Suhang."

Shi San took away the empty bowl he had drunk from, went to get the things he wanted, and even moved the heavy round table to the bedside.

Gu Yue dipped his pen in ink and wrote a letter.

After drying and folding it over candlelight, Gu Yue used a piece of cloth to make an envelope. He originally wanted to instruct Shi San to ask Wu Feng and Wu Huo, who were following him secretly, to go back and deliver the letter, but he stopped halfway through.

"You... don't alarm Wu Feng and the others. Find a reliable post station or escort and have them send the letter back as quickly as possible." Gu Yue said, "You must not let Wu Feng and the others know about it."

They will definitely let Gu Xu take a look first! Who knows what kind of trouble it will cause by then.

Shi San nodded and put the letter in his arms.

If someone wanted to attack him, they wouldn't be so crazy as to cause trouble in the inn. This time, the people accompanying him were powerful and it would be easy for them to find evidence.

"We have to set off at dawn, so go quickly and come back quickly." Gu Yue said.

Shi San left through the window.

The room fell silent again. Gu Yue blew out the candle and tried to analyze the whole incident without any personal emotion.

The fact that his affair with Gu Xu would be revealed was not the result of some people's sudden inspiration. Although Northern Qin was more open-minded than any dynasty in real history, the trend of homosexuality was not prevalent. Even the novels of Hangdou, who governed Suzhou and Hangzhou, would not be bold enough to write such a plot.

After he and Gu Xu made their feelings known to each other, the thing he had been worried about finally happened.

Some of their looks and interactions were caught by someone with ulterior motives. Or, it could be said that the traitors in the mansion had keenly noticed something and reported it.

Damn, such a gossipy person!

Gu Yue cursed in his heart.

This kind of thing doesn't require any evidence. Gu Yue has been immersed in the Internet for many years and knows the underlying logic of those rumor marketing accounts. People like to see new and interesting things, and if the rumor suits their taste, they will believe it without a doubt. Sometimes, they can even say black is white and white is black for a little gossip.

Not to mention, some people who once spread rumors are unwilling to admit that they were deceived even if they are slapped in the face. How embarrassing is that? For the sake of face, they also try their best to question and prove that they were not deceived.

It doesn't matter what the truth is.

The rumor has spread, and they are bound to bear the consequences.

No. Gu Yue wiped his face. It was true that he and Gu Xu had an affair, but it was not as bad as the rumors.

or……

He really shouldn't have provoked Gu Xu and shouldn't have broken that layer of window paper.

Gu Yue held his head. He was very scared.

No, no, that's not right. He is showing his personal emotions again.

In today's situation, simply refuting rumors is useless. Such an interesting thing is actually fake, how boring is it? The public will not buy it. Gu Yue also has no intention of correcting the thinking of the ignorant people, which is almost impossible to do.

We can only use the power of others to our advantage and start with public opinion.

Either something bigger happened, such as a royal scandal - even the scandal of an ordinary official would not be as explosive as his and Gu Xu's, it would have to be as serious as the emperor being cheated on - but this method was too difficult to implement, and the stain on Gu Xu was still not washed away.

Or, there is something else behind this matter.

A preliminary plan had already formed in Gu Yue's mind. And the first step of this plan had already left with Shi San and gone to Zhen Suhang's hands.

……

In the mountains twenty miles outside the capital.

Wu Fei landed lightly on the ground.

The man and horse on the ground were already dead. Wu Fei bent down, picked up the package on his back, and took out a stack of letters from it.

Most of them were blank to confuse the audience. Wu Fei took out a letter and opened it. Gu Yue's distorted calligraphy and various unknown symbols appeared in front of him. Some were even written in horizontal lines. It took Wu Fei a long time to understand how to read.

"They found such a hard idea to send the letter, and they also used this kind of writing method to cover it up... It seems to be very important." Wu Fei carefully identified the contents of the letter.

He had originally planned to take advantage of the separation of Gu Xu and Gu Dashi to follow Gu Dashi and act accordingly, but Su Muying's words made him change his mind.

Su Muying, this so-called brother Huaiyue doesn't seem to be a good person either.

There are many doubts in the conversation. Do you think he can't hear it?

Although they said they knew each other since childhood, they did investigate his background very thoroughly.

From this point of view, there might be spies from the Su family in Wumen Zhongxing.

However, the other party's purpose was very clear, that is, to take advantage of this trip south to kill Gu Dashi. But why did he choose to do it at this time? Was it just because he left Luoyang and was far away from Gu Xu?

Is there any other reason behind it?

Wu Fei did not believe Su Muying's excuse that "Gu Dashi hindered Gu Xu's revenge, so he should be killed" at all.

Su Muying had never interfered with the affairs of Prince Shen for many years. Now that Gu Xu had appeared, he began to care about him again. It was really...

We will find out Su Muying's purpose later. Wu Fei thought that they were in agreement only on getting rid of Gu Dashi.

This person really hindered Gu Xu.

Kill him, and then redirect the wind to...

Wu Fei looked at the letter and suddenly smiled.

Gu Dashi actually thought of this? He did a good thing. This person didn't just want to rely on Gu Xu to suck blood. After all, he was of some use.

Wu Fei looked at the dead body on the ground with regret.

It's a pity that if he had known Gu Dashi's thoughts earlier, he wouldn't have had to kill anyone.

He also needed to find a way to deliver the letter to Zhen Suhang.
