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

The back door of the Stronghold Inn.

Seeing Gu Yue leading a group of people out, the guard dressed as a waiter looked a little surprised: "Boss Gu, where are you going?"

Boss Gu? Everyone in Wumen addressed him in a very consistent way.

Gu Yue didn't see any unusual emotions on this man's face, so he just assumed that he hadn't heard of the rumors about Luoyang: "We're just going out for a walk."

He pushed up the brim of his straw hat and said, "Quietly."

"Does Chief Wuhuo know?" the guard was worried.

"He is too tired, let him rest. We are not going far anyway." Gu Yue smiled.

The guard looked at the large group of people around him. He knew that Shi San was a good fighter, and Shi Si and Shi Wu also had traces of martial arts training, and seemed to be very powerful.

"Go ahead," said the guard.

Gu Yue and his group successfully walked out.

No one noticed the person standing on the street corner.

……

Wu Fei pressed down the brim of his hat and looked around the ordinary-looking courtyard.

On the surface, this is just an ordinary inn, and there are indeed some mediocre waiters inside who support the normal operation of the entire inn.

Wu Fei carried a bundle and walked towards the back door of the inn.

Wu Fei knew the patrol patterns of the guards inside Wumen very well. In just a moment, he found a brief gap in the guards and climbed into the courtyard.

He did not go straight to the yard where Gu Dashi and others lived, but went straight to the laundry room.

The laundry room was a small courtyard with many racks for drying clothes. There were a lot of clothes hanging on them, and the shadows were dim. Wu Fei did not rush around the racks and enter the courtyard, but waited in the shadows in front of the door.

There were several waiters in the courtyard washing clothes, most of which belonged to Wumen's own people. Wu Fei could see that these people were ordinary servants, without any martial arts skills.

After waiting patiently for a while, several people finished their work one after another and walked out of the yard.

There was only one person left, struggling to hang his wet clothes on the rope.

Wu Fei walked around the overlapping drying racks and approached the man.

After a muffled sound, the man fainted on the ground. Wu Fei quickly shook a medicine bottle at the man's nose and carried him into the house.

After a while, an identical person walked out of the room.

……

Gu Yue avoided Yi County's spies and quickly went up the mountain from the small path.

He Gui walked on the mountain road as if it were flat ground, but he was obviously not as agile as Shi San and his companions. Fortunately, he did not fall behind.

He was worried all the way, and after enduring for a long time, he finally said, "Boss, this is too risky."

"When we met that day, you clearly expressed this intention. Why are you advising me not to do it now?" Gu Yue didn't care: "You also know that faking death is the safest way."

"I'm right in thinking so...but I just need to spread the word, isn't that right..." He Gui fell silent first.

Gu Yue pushed aside the branches in front of him, grabbed a small tree and climbed up the slope in front of him: "Look, you know that if you just spread the word, people won't believe it. They will keep checking to see if I'm really dead."

He Gui was silent.

Shi Si said, "But this is not easy to do. Those people are experts. Pretending to be injured is completely different from being really injured. It's easy to tell the difference."

Gu Yue said: "So, we can't let them touch my 'corpse' directly."

Shi San remained silent and led the way.

Several people talked all the way.

He Gui was silent for a long time before he finally said, "We need to have a complete plan and there can be no mistakes."

Gu Yue said: "Do you have any objection to what we said in the meeting yesterday?"

He Gui thought for a moment and said, "Yes... it sounds feasible. Falling off a cliff is easy. As long as one step is on empty air, one can make it look like this. Stone Three, Stone Four and Stone Five will catch it below. What if one is shot by an arrow? The arrowhead must be inserted into the chest."

"I have a precious armor. When the time comes, I just need to wear it thicker, make the arrowhead smaller, and shorten the arrow, and it will be like being shot by an arrow." Gu Yue said.

"Put a blood bag inside." Shi Wu added.

He Gui still asked: "Really not waiting for Young Master?"

"He won't agree." Gu Yue said, "This is too dangerous."

He Gui frowned.

"I can't wait until Gu Xu resolves everything before executing this plan." Gu Yue stopped.

He Gui looked at him.

"First, I don't want to rely on Gu Xu for everything and wait for him to solve my problems. Maybe he doesn't care or is willing for me to rely on him, but I don't want to." Gu Yue said, "I don't want to wait for things to happen."

Shi Si and Shi Wu also listened quietly.

Shi San did not comment. He walked around, carefully observing the surrounding terrain, and squatted down from time to time to check the roots of the trees.

"Secondly, I am always a variable in the situation. Because of my existence, various forces have been keeping quiet, waiting and watching, and even making various plans and changes against me. This will undoubtedly bring unexpected troubles to Gu Xu." Gu Yue said.

It is difficult for He Kui to refute.

His thoughts naturally followed Gu Yue's. Indeed, if there was no Dun Xinbo, then his own methods against Gu Xu would be much simpler, either winning him over or killing him, instead of using tricks from time to time and stagnating from time to time like now.

Because Dun Xinbo was a very smart man, any action could be detected by him.

"Third, my martial arts skills are too poor, and I can only beat Shi San alone." Gu Yue said, "Wu Huo and others can certainly be used, but Gu Xu himself does not have many people at his disposal. Once I am captured..."

Gu Yue paused for a moment. He didn't need to worry about the third point. He was only afraid that rumors would spread and someone would really notice the feelings between them and use him to threaten Gu Xu.

That would really become a burden.

"Fourth...Rumors are spreading everywhere. Gu Xu's future plans will definitely be affected by this. Whether he does it himself or supports someone, his reputation will inevitably be affected." Gu Yue said, "I am faking my own death and getting away now, which can only be a good thing."

He Gui found it difficult to refute.

Gu Yue didn't actually tell the whole story. He had his own selfish motives, and he was too afraid of bringing trouble to Gu Xu.

It brings trouble, becomes a burden, and finally is abandoned, returning to the starting point.

Gu Yue only felt fear about this.

Even if he fails, he will only die, and Gu Xu will not be dragged down by him.

I won't let you like me for nothing, Gu Yue thought.

Shi San clapped his hands and stood up.

"Almost there," he said.

Gu Yue took a deep breath, raised his legs and continued to move forward.

Across a hillside, there is a gently sloping forest. Looking around, the forest is endless, with dark green leaves and branches everywhere.

Shi San grabbed him.

"In front... the cliff, where we passed that day." Shi San pointed forward.

Gu Yue probed with the branch in his hand and looked carefully. There seemed to be a green boundary hidden under the bushes.
