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

Emperor.

The city guards patrolling back and forth in Luoyang were directly controlled by the emperor. Therefore, it was easy for him to spread something.

"...and in order to prevent the rumors from being discovered by the Bo's Mansion first, we are the last to get the news." He Gui said.

"Why did he do this?" Gu Yue murmured to himself.

My head is in a mess.

The emperor had previously revealed his intention to win him over, and even if he immediately expressed his willingness to follow him, the emperor might not necessarily believe him.

This time, the emperor artificially separated him and Gu Xu and asked him to go to Yunxi to raid Gu Xu's lair. What was the purpose?

If the intention is to alienate them and weaken the prince's power, isn't it a bit too hasty?

Gu Yue rubbed his eyebrows.

Seeing that he didn't continue, He Gui was silent for a moment and asked, "Boss, are you planning to abandon this identity and escape?"

Gu Yue asked: "Why do you say that?"

He Gui said: "It can be seen that the boss wants to do something in Luoyang."

"Of course." Gu Yue nodded.

"First, the incident with the Xie family shop delayed our sale of fried chicken. Now there are rumors like this, and the situation will only get worse." He Gui said, "Boss, you are not someone who relies on others to make a living. If you want to make a comeback on your own, you can only change your identity."

Gu Yue remained silent.

"This kind of thing is not accepted by the people in the first place, and what they said is so unpleasant." He Gui said, "Once the dirty water touches you, it is difficult to wash it off."

"I know." Gu Yue said.

"So, boss, you take on so much responsibility and put all the blame on Gu Dashi, and then... you will change your identity, right?" He Gui frowned slightly and stared at him.

Gu Yue was startled and looked at He Gui.

He took a moment to determine whether this person already knew that he was not Gu Dashi, and then said: "You don't have to get involved in this matter. Just stay here honestly."

He Gui said, "This is a big deal, and we only have Shi San as our helper. Boss, can you do it?"

Gu Yue was silent for a moment.

"I don't think you will ask Wu Feng and the others for help, Boss." He Gui said, "Changing your identity is not just about hiding, but letting everyone know... that you are dead."

Gu Yue pursed his lips and remained silent.

"Boss Xiao Gu won't agree to such a dangerous thing." He Gui said, "And Shi San alone will definitely not have enough manpower. Boss."

"...Is this why you came to Yunxi?" Gu Yue frowned tightly.

"Yes." He Gui said.

"I understand." Gu Yue exhaled lightly, "You are right, Shi San alone...may not be able to accomplish this."

He had not intended to involve Shi San, but how could he do it on his own?

Gu Yue said: "For this matter, you just need to help me with the preliminary preparations. You don't need to interfere with the rest."

He Gui nodded: "We know that the boss is worried about us. We will protect ourselves."

"Okay!" Gu Yue smiled, "Let's have a meeting now!"

……

Huaizhong Prefecture.

"The entire city of Huaizhong Prefecture is King Yin's territory." Tang Wuling said, "His spies are everywhere."

Gu Xu stroked the letter paper in his hand.

Finally, he restored contact with Wu Feng and the others. Gu Xu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he learned that Gu Yue had safely escaped the surveillance range of the Hidden Dragon Guards.

The things that Gu Yue found in the ruins of Prince Shen’s Mansion have been delivered to him.

Although the diary was fragile, it was protected from wind and rain by a secret compartment, so it was not seriously damaged and could still be identified. The piece of cloth was much more fragile, and after a long journey, it was torn in two when it was poured out of the envelope.

The handwriting in the diary was very familiar. Gu Xu could tell at a glance that it was Su Huaiyue's handwriting. However, because of Gu Dashi's rebellious letter, he did not rashly believe the information revealed in this diary.

The darkness hidden underneath was so dirty that Gu Xu didn't want to face it.

After Tang Wuling said that, he waited for a long time but saw no response from Gu Xu. He turned around and saw him staring blankly at the envelope that had just been delivered to him.

Tang Wuling said "Eh", shook his head and sighed, wiped his face and squatted aside.

"Set up camp in a hidden place outside the city." Gu Xu said.

"Not entering the city? Then how can you find evidence of his treason? The emperor is still waiting." Tang Wuling said.

"Let him wait." Gu Xu said, "Treason is not a trivial matter. It is not something that can be investigated in a day or two."

"...it's okay as long as you know it in your mind." Tang Wuling said.

He had no intention of arguing with Gu Xu. It was obvious that Gu Xu was not a simple person. Since Wen Qing had already reminded him of his peculiarities, why should he go against him?

Gu Xu finally put the envelope into his arms and looked out at the city of Huaizhong Prefecture in the distance.

Tang Wuling introduced: "The mansion in the southeast of the city, near the outside of the city, is the residence of King Yin."

"The scale is quite large." said Gu Xu.

"Your Majesty never doubted this brother before, so the Hidden Dragon Guard did not put any effort in the Huaizhong Prefecture area, and only set up a branch." Tang Wuling said, "This branch has experienced some personnel changes over the years. When we checked here a few days ago, we found that many of the original members had been replaced."

"Replaced?" Gu Xu raised his eyes, "King Yin's hand can actually reach into the Hidden Dragon Guard."

"After all, there are many places we need to monitor. If they are all reviewed by Luoyang and then dispatched to various places, it is not very realistic. So in order to have sufficient manpower, we will recruit some people locally." Tang Wuling said.

"I see. Then you, the Hidden Dragon Guards, are really good undercover agents." Gu Xu said.

Tang Wuling was embarrassed for a moment. After all, he himself was not particularly loyal.

"I contacted the Huaizhong Prefecture branch before, and the report I received was that King Yin did not make any unusual moves. However, my investigation found that eight of the twenty people sent to Huaizhong Prefecture were killed."

"It was King Yin who did it?" Gu Xu guessed it immediately.

"Yes, those eight people are direct descendants of the chief supervisor and will never betray. The remaining twelve people cannot be trusted either." Tang Wuling said.

"I understand." Gu Yue lowered his eyes and thought.

"So, we just live outside the city and do nothing?" Tang Wuling asked, "Your father is still waiting for you to save him."

"...There is a Shenzheng Money House in Huaizhong Prefecture." Gu Xu said.

"I know." Tang Wuling said.

"Go check it out, and be careful." Gu Xu said, "Some of King Yin's little secrets are hidden in there. With these, the emperor will be satisfied."

Tang Wuling opened his eyes wide: "You have already..."

Gu Xu nodded slightly.

Tang Wuling thought of Wen Qing's "reminder" and swallowed.

"Young Master, please take a rest. I'll be back soon." Tang Wuling said.

Gu Xu watched him leave.

He stood by the tree for a while, turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly heard a sound of breaking air.

There was only the sound of an arrow, and Gu Xu slightly turned sideways and easily dodged it. However, he soon realized that the arrow was not meant to hurt anyone. Gu Xu turned his head and saw a piece of paper tied to the tail of the arrow.
