There were several knife cuts that almost tore his skin apart, and his clothes were stuck to the wounds. Shi Sanmian tore off the cloth without changing his expression.

"Fortunately I was wearing thick clothes. This is too cruel." Gu Yue looked frightened.

It was the first time he saw Shi San naked. He was a sturdy man with many old scars on his body. He seemed to be insensitive to pain. Wu Huo used something that smelled of alcohol to wash his wounds, but he didn't even frown.

This is Guan Yu of Northern Qin. Gu Yue didn't dare to look, he saw Wu Huo took out the needle and thread.

But when he thought that Shi San had killed more people, he felt fortunate.

After treating the wound and changing the medicine, Wu Huo signaled to Gu Yue. Gu Yue then remembered that his arm seemed to be scratched as well, and quickly took off one of his sleeves.

Wu Huo looked at his wound and was surprised: "Oh my god, this is too serious. It would have healed if it had been later."

Gu Yue laughed out loud immediately.

It was indeed a very shallow cut, but even after Wu Huo sprinkled some medicine powder on it, his face was still distorted with pain.

Wu Huo was still talking: "Well, am I quite funny?"

"Yeah." Gu Yue grinned.

Wu Huo put away his smile and said, "According to your instructions, I have already sent a letter to Luoyang, asking Wu Men to help He Gui and his men leave the Duke of Dun Xin's mansion."

"That's good. If I run away, they might be used to investigate... Why bother involving them?" Gu Yue said, "I just need to trouble Wumen to take care of them for a while. If I let them go now, they might be caught halfway."

"Of course." Wu Huo nodded.

There was silence in the cave.

Gu Yue was waiting, Wu Huo was hesitating.

Wu Huo couldn't help himself. He asked tentatively, "Boss Gu, how far have you and the master come?"

"What step?" Gu Yue had expected this, and he played dumb: "Why don't I understand what you are saying? Did something happen?"

Wu Huo was suddenly stuck: "No, I just asked casually."

The three of them sat there, and no one spoke.

Gu Yue felt very tormented and anxious.

He knew very well that people like Wu Fei were not an exception in the Wu Clan. What about the others? Would they also think that they were hindering Gu Xu, or even that he was tarnishing their master?

What is Wuhuo’s attitude?

He wanted to see Wuhuo's expression, but was afraid of discovering his guilty conscience, so he just leaned against the mountain wall, pretending to rest.

"By the way..." Gu Yue said.

"Oh my god—" Wu Huo also spoke at the same time, and both of them were stuck.

Wu Huo asked, "What's wrong, Boss Gu?"

"This, you give it to Gu Xu." Gu Yue took out the one-page diary of Su Huaiyue from his arms: "I found this in the secret compartment of the table in Prince Shen's mansion. If the handwriting can be confirmed to be Su Huaiyue's, then what happened back then..."

He paused and said, "Gu Xu should be able to figure it out himself, so I won't tell you. If it doesn't work, we can talk about it face to face."

He then talked about the piece of cloth in the woodshed and his simple reasoning.

"Okay." Wu Huo solemnly put away the fragile notebook, "I will definitely pass it on."

His attitude was like he was handing over the king's scepter.

Seeing that he didn't look disgusted or unhappy, Gu Yue felt a little relieved: "What did you just say?"

"Oh, I said it's too dangerous for Wufeng to be outside alone, I'll go with him." Wuhuo said, he stood up and walked towards the cave entrance.

When he reached the cave entrance, he stopped again: "Boss Gu..."

"What's wrong?" Gu Yue immediately smiled.

"Well... I think... you are very important to the master. It's good to have you around." Wu Huo said carefully, "You are also very smart and have helped us a lot all along."

"Haha, am I that good?" Gu Yue said dryly.

He felt like he had lost his memory. When did he help Gu Xu?

Wuhuo smiled and walked out of the cave.

"When did I..." Gu Yue muttered to himself.

Gu Xu was reborn, so he didn't need any help. King Yin hid very deeply, but he didn't need to find any clues; King Shen also knew where the treasure was.

The same thing happened in Ganzhou. He didn't need to solve any case. Gu Xu would still be safe and sound, and Chao Zhenjun was not found by him.

Gu Yue hugged his head.

Shi San said: "Wu Huo... is right."

Gu Yue sneered.

"Why are you joining in the fun? You are mine, there is no need to say this." Gu Yue said.

He thought to himself that he was also sorry for Shi San. It was fine that he was indentured to be his slave, but he had to go through life and death every day, earning 2,000 yuan a month, doing a job that paid 200,000 yuan a month. It was like asking a neighborhood security guard to be Trump's bodyguard.

……

The night was uneventful.

Early the next morning, at daybreak, Wu Feng returned from the cave.

Gu Yue had just woken up from a nightmare, and when he opened his eyes he saw Wu Feng talking to Wu Huo.

"Boss Gu! Uh... there is good news. No, it's not really good news." Wu Feng said.

Gu Yue's heart skipped a beat: "What's wrong?"

"Wu Men sent a message saying that Lu Junmei and her family have settled down." Wu Feng said, "But He Gui, Shi Si and Shi Wu, they heard about your situation in Yunxi and plan to come to support you."

"Ah? Don't come!" Gu Yue shouted.

"It's too late. We have already found the three of them in our small base in Yi County. You see..." Wu Feng was embarrassed, "It's my fault that my men didn't avoid talking to them..."

Gu Yue was speechless for a while, but also somewhat moved.

"The Hidden Dragon Guards are still looking for us? Isn't it dangerous to go to Yi County now?" Gu Yue raised a realistic question.

"That's right." Wu Feng said, "There are still scattered guards looking for us within ten miles."

Wu Huo said, "Not necessarily. Generally speaking, people who are chased into the mountains will stay in the mountains for a while. This is almost a rule. The Hidden Dragon Guards may think the same way. Therefore, most of their forces will be concentrated in Yishan Mountain, and will not go to the surrounding towns."

"Where is Yi County?" Gu Yue felt that this analysis made sense.

"About sixty miles to the west." Wu Feng said.

"It's a bit far." Gu Yue frowned. Sixty miles is thirty kilometers.

"That's right. Yi County is not the nearest town to here. Therefore, if I were a Hidden Dragon Guard, I would not think that we would flee to Yi County." Wu Huo said, "I would deploy defenses in the surrounding Qiankou, Shiqiao and Huizhou City. The farthest I would monitor would only be Lantian, and never Yi County."

Gu Yue thought for a moment: "You are right. Shen Wumou is not a smart man. His judgment is very ordinary. Otherwise, our arson plan would never succeed. I believe in your judgment. Let's set off now."

If Wen Qing was as smart as he was, he would have realized at the first moment of the fire that this was his conspiracy to escape.

Wuhuo smiled and said, "Well, let's go without further delay."
