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

"Another disguise of a gathering of scholars and literati?" The emperor smiled.

The Grand Tutor agreed.

The emperor waved his hand and told them to leave, then called Chen Shuo: "Chen Shuo, tell... the fifth prince to come back."

Chen Shuo was stunned.

Since the incident with Mu You, the Fifth Prince has been living in the White Horse Temple as requested by the Emperor, accompanying the Queen Mother in worshipping Buddha and leading a simple life. Of course, a small group of the Hidden Dragon Guards were sent to monitor his movements.

Although the emperor doted on Concubine Mu and Qin Zhaochen, he still had some doubts.

The Fifth Prince himself saw it very clearly. Therefore, he and the already obedient Concubine Mu became even more obedient. Over the past few months, it was really hard to find any faults even if one wanted to frame them.

Chen Shuo was stunned for a moment, then bowed and said, "I'll go right away."

……

Gu Yue stayed in Yunxi's inn and studied the fragments that the Hidden Dragon Guards had looted from the mansion for several days.

When he finally looked up from the table, he was caught in an inexplicable emotion and couldn't extricate himself.

The death of Su Huaiyue and the other two was simply...

The right time, right place, and right people all meant they would die.

Ever since Fu Dao said that he had sent a letter to the Su family asking for help, Gu Yue had a vague guess in his mind. But after staying in Luoyang for a long time, he had heard a lot about the past of Su Huaiyue, the "talented woman".

Gu Yue had only one evaluation of her: a person like the protagonist of a novel.

She could compose poems at the age of five and insightful policy papers at the age of twelve. Judging from some small objects she left in the drawer and later retrieved by Gu Xu, she also had a certain talent for invention.

It was also her who pushed the Chaozhen Army to research muskets.

What's more, the Su family is a family without daughters. How much her father dotes on her is a famous story throughout Luoyang, not to mention her three outstanding brothers. In the eyes of the people of Luoyang, Su Huaiyue is a golden nugget that is surrounded by stars.

However, this golden nugget finally died at the hands of her "family" who doted on her so much?

Gu Yue was unwilling to believe this result.

But all the traces ultimately pointed to the Su family.

What exactly is Su Huaiyue's plan? Why is the Su family unwilling to help? Even if they can't help, are they really going to get rid of Su Huaiyue themselves?

Gu Yue shook his head.

All of this was just conjecture, which he had deduced from numerous clues, and there was no conclusive evidence.

Should we tell Gu Xu?

...Wait, could it be that the emperor called him here just to let him discover that the Su family had plotted to kill Su Huaiyue?

That shouldn't be the case. Shen Wumou seems to be very familiar with the Yunxi area. The original work has never heard of this person. He should be the leader of the Hidden Dragon Guard stationed in Yunxi.

Judging from Shen Wumou's attitude, he didn't want to pay too much attention to what happened back then. If the emperor wanted him to find out the truth, he could just bring more detailed files.

There was a knock at the outer door.

"Master Gu, are you asleep?" Shen Wumou's voice came from outside.

Gu Yue walked forward and opened the door, and saw Shen Wumou standing outside the door, with Shi San staring at him.

"Is there anything I can do for you, Lord Shen?" Gu Yue asked, with no intention of letting him in.

Shen Wumou smiled: "Just came to ask, does Master Gu have any clues about Chao Zhenjun?"

Gu Yue said: "Yes, there are some discoveries."

Shen Wumou's eyes lit up: "Oh? It seems that His Majesty made the right choice by asking you to be in charge of this matter."

He did not ask what the discovery was, probably to make sure that Gu Yue would not tell him.

The two of them just stood there and talked for a few short words, and Shi San's expression suddenly changed.

A sharp sound broke through the air.

When Gu Yue heard the sound, he subconsciously squatted down with his hands on his head - this was the sound of an arrow. The previous assassination incident made him suffer from severe PTSD to this sound.

He did not see what Shi San and Shen Wumou did. He only heard the sound of flesh being pierced. Then Shen Wumou groaned in pain, but did not move away.

Someone blew a whistle, but Gu Yue did not retreat into the room hastily because the space inside was relatively small. If someone tried to assassinate him, he might not have enough space to dodge.

Shen Wumou actually fell down like this.

His face turned purple in an instant, proving that the arrow was poisonous. Shi San had already firmly protected Gu Yue, grabbing his shoulder with one hand and pulling him up.

Throughout the yard, people in black clothes kept appearing, but because Shen Wumou sent out a signal, a large number of Hidden Dragon Guards also poured into the yard.

The sound of fighting rang out.

A small group of Hidden Dragon Guards had already reached Gu Yue. Shen Wumou was still conscious. He shouted hoarsely, "Capture him alive!"

Gu Yue glanced at him, calmed down, and hid in the crowd.

The target of this group of black-clad men was very clear, that was Gu Yue standing by the door. Unfortunately, few people could get close to him. Shi San's kung fu was very strong, and most people were defeated by him with his bare hands.

A cold light flashed beside me.

Gu Yue was unable to react and was almost stabbed by the knife. The guards, Yinlongwei and Shi San, were entangled at this time, and Shen Wumou on the ground stepped forward and hit the man's knees with a palm; the assassin staggered a few steps and lost his balance, and Gu Yue quickly took the opportunity to escape.

The Hidden Dragon Guards came to their senses and came to the rescue. The assassin whose knees were shattered by the palm force fell to the ground. Shen Wumou also fainted because of the increased flow of poison due to the use of his internal energy.

Gu Yue saw the assassin's eyes.

The man desperately raised his knife, like a madman, and stabbed Gu Yue's leg. However, he was quickly pinned to the ground, and the Hidden Dragon Guard searched his mouth but did not find the poison pill.

"They are not the dead soldiers." The man who looked like the leader of the Hidden Dragon Guard who came to support groaned. There were not many deaths in the yard. When these people saw that the situation was not good, they evacuated the yard. However, many Hidden Dragon Guards were shot by arrows and fell to the ground like Shen Wumou.

Yunxi is basically the base camp of the Hidden Dragon Guards, and there are enough people. The injured were carried down for treatment, and the rest of the people set up control around them to clear the hidden dangers. Gu Yue was also invited to the main hall to rest. There were many people here, so there was no need to worry about insecurity.

Less than half an hour later.

Gu Yue was sitting in the main hall of the Hidden Dragon Guard and had calmed down.

The leader-like man was Shen Wumou's deputy, named Lu Wushuang. On the table in the middle were weapons and arrows left by the thieves, and a group of people gathered around the table.

Gu Yue did not participate, but could still hear their discussion.

Lu Wushuang said: "This group of people are really rough and tumble, their fighting skills are very average, but they rely on their numbers, and some people shoot arrows from behind, which is why they have caused a certain amount of chaos."

Someone said, "The archery is really amazing. Lord Shen was actually shot by an arrow."

"He wanted to protect that... Master Gu." Lu Wushuang said.

"How is Lord Shen?" someone who had just returned from outside asked.

"The arrow is highly poisonous, but we brothers all know Kung Fu, so it's OK." Lu Wushuang said, "It would be terrible if it pierced Master Gu."

Someone looked at Gu Yue secretly.

"That guy confessed!" Someone broke into the room, "That guy is a killer roaming around in this area. According to his confession, a man named Wu Yan hired him to assassinate Master Gu."
