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

"Now..." Wu Feng repeated, seeming to be thinking.

Wu Yan said: "He originally joined Mu You, but Mu You was defeated, so he had no choice but to choose another wise leader."

Gu Xu leaned against the cave wall and tapped the paper in his hand. "Choose another wise leader? Not necessarily. His ability to hide behind the scenes is so good that he can even make people like Mu You and King Yin come to the front and reveal their ambitions, but he still hides behind the scenes."

Wuyan and Wufeng were both thinking about it.

"We have conducted five or six rounds of investigations on King Yin's staff, and we have also ruled out all of Mu You's relationships during his lifetime." Gu Xu continued, "This person is still hiding behind the scenes, not revealing any clues. This doesn't seem like he is choosing a wise leader, but rather like he is playing all of these people in the palm of his hand."

"Master's analysis makes sense." Wu Yan nodded.

Gu Xu didn't say anything. He was thinking about the entire Ganzhou incident.

Wu Feng said: "In other words, Wen Qing is using his own way to remind us that Lingfeng Pavilion has a base in Huaizhong Prefecture, and the people behind him have already joined forces with King Yin?"

Wu Yan said, "That's probably it. The disease samples from Jiangnan have been sent to the capital for Wu Ye to look at. A message came back yesterday saying that it was one of the variants of that poisonous weed. Wen Qing provided a few strains before. He is developing an antidote."

Wu Feng said: "Oh, speaking of this, I also heard that some people in the market are using an ointment to prevent and treat epidemic diseases, called Wujin ointment."

Gu Xu raised his head: "Black Gold Cream?"

Wu Feng said, "Yes, it is the name that Boss Gu mentioned back then. This thing is still only circulated in the small town north of Huaizhong Prefecture, and has not spread widely."

Gu Xu suddenly felt that something was strange.

Wu Feng added: "Come to think of it, there is one thing that doesn't match."

"What?" Gu Xu looked at him.

"I have inquired about it. This black gold paste is not a patented medicine, but a folk remedy that has just appeared. It has no name. It is because it is a black paste with a slight sheen that the local people call it black gold paste. It has not been spread far and wide."

Gu Xu opened his eyes wide, he knew the source of the strange feeling.

Wu Feng also continued, "So I find it strange. This name has only appeared recently, so how come Boss Gu mentioned this thing two years ago? So I wonder if the two are not the same thing? But the people who have used the Wujin Paste described to me that the feelings after taking it are exactly the same as what Boss Gu said."

Gu Xu clenched his fists suddenly.

This is it, this is where the problem lies!

In his previous life, his investigation of the Black Gold Paste was similar - the name of this substance was spread widely and passed down by word of mouth among the common people. In this life, when the Black Gold Paste had not yet come out, Gu Yue had already pointed to the raw materials of this substance and said its future name.

How did Gu Yue know the name of this thing by foresight?

Gu Xu suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

He stood up and his coat slipped off.

He wanted to find Gu Yue immediately to find out the truth!

"Master?" Wu Yan immediately noticed his abnormality and stepped forward to hold his arm.

Gu Xu took a deep breath, looked at Wu Yan, and his mind suddenly became much clearer.

No, that's not the most important thing.

Gu Xu closed his eyes.

"Send a message to Qin Zhaohong, asking her to immediately control the spread of the black gold paste. In addition, King Yin may take action in the next few days, so ask her people to act according to the circumstances." Gu Xu said.

"Yes." Wu Feng went to write the letter immediately.

"What about us?" Wu Yan asked.

"...It's time for us to go meet King Yin." Gu Xu said.

……

Shen Wumou and several Hidden Dragon Guards were ready to go and gathered in front of a mountain path in Yishan.

"No matter what, we must get the secrets about the Chaozhen Army in Gu Dashi's hands." Shen Wumou said, "This guy can actually guess the emperor's intentions. He should not be underestimated."

Lu Wushuang asked: "Should we kill him?"

Shen Wumou hesitated: "...If he is the only one who knows the clues of Chao Zhenjun, I'm afraid we really can't do anything to him."

Lu Wushuang said, "Your Majesty doesn't mean to take his life. For men, it's just a matter of money and power. If he is willing to make an offer, he must have something to ask of Your Majesty. I think this matter is not difficult. Take him back to Luoyang to see the emperor, and everything will be solved."

Shen Wumou frowned: "I always feel that things are not that simple. If he wants to trade with His Majesty, why not just tell us directly? Why bother making such a fuss and now asking for a meeting."

Lu Wushuang shook his head. He didn't understand Gu Dashi's idea. "Anyway, let's meet and hear what he has to say. He and Shi San can't possibly kill all fifty of us in Yishan, right?"

Having said this, Shen Wumou had nothing else to say. He raised his hand and waved, "Go into the mountain!"

……

Gu Yue woke up from his dream.

It was already dawn. Gu Yue touched his collar and took out the white jade token with the word "Gu" written on it.

He lit a candle and looked at the thing for a long time. It was indeed a very good jade, but it was a pity that it was no longer useful, just like his identity as Gu Dashi. Keeping it would only be a burden.

Well, it can still be sold for some money! Just like him, there is still a little profit to be squeezed out before bidding farewell to this identity.

Gu Yue thought for a while and laughed out loud.

It's not like he's going to die alone, it's just an adventure. In the past few days, He Gui has been practicing archery - he came from the general's mansion, and although he is an accountant who studies literature, he has superb archery skills. At least it's not difficult to shoot the blood bag on his chest in the dense forest.

Gu Yue stood up and opened the door.

Shi San was sitting outside the door.

"Is the matter done?" Gu Yue asked.

Shi San nodded.

The early morning in the mountains is always shrouded in mist, hazy and moist. The mountains in the distance are not clear, with only a little ink-like outline.

"Okay, let's set off now." Gu Yue said.

He took the thin soft water bag handed over by Shi San and stuffed it into his chest pocket. The bloody smell of slaughtered chickens still lingered in the yard, and He Gui, Shi Si and Shi Wu also came out from another room.

The three of them nodded to Gu Yue and left the yard first.

Shi San put some sleeping powder in Wu Huo's drinking water, so he would not wake up for the time being. As for the guard at the back door, it was easy to deal with, but Gu Yue did not do so because he considered that the new base was not stable enough.

"Boss Gu, are you going out again?" The Wumen secret guard guarding the back door asked Gu Yue when he saw him, "Did you tell the leader? Last time you left without saying goodbye, you scared the brothers."

"I've already told you that. Otherwise, with the way he keeps staring at us every day, he would have followed us out by now." Gu Yue said with a smile.

The two guards looked at each other and frowned: "The person who sneaked into the base last time has not been identified yet. The area around Yi County may not be safe."

"It's okay. Shi San and I are just walking around nearby. We won't alert anyone." Gu Yue said, "If we find anyone suspicious, we can still arrest them."

They were just following their master's orders to protect Gu Yue's safety, but they didn't have to lock him up in the yard like a prisoner. The guard hesitated for a moment and said, "Well, I'll ask a few brothers to follow."

"No need. You guys probably can't beat Shi San." Gu Yue said with a smile, "I'll be back at noon at the latest."

The guard had no choice but to make way: "Boss Gu, be careful."

"I will." Gu Yue responded seriously.
