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

……

King Yin slowly put the teacup in his hand back on the table.

"Is the news true?" he asked.

"It's true." The man kneeling below clasped his fists and said, "This is information we received from a secret line that we have never used."

"What hidden clue? Which hidden clue is related to the affairs of Prince Shen's Mansion in Yunxi?" Prince Yin was very alert.

"It's quite a coincidence. We heard the news at Huai'an Inn when our people were handing over the herbs to Lord Wen Qing." The subordinate said, "Lord Wen Qing recognized the badges of the Hidden Dragon Guards on their waists and reminded us. We listened carefully and learned about this."

King Yin touched the cup in his hand. The cup was translucent and was made from a whole piece of fine white jade. It was very valuable.

"I have heard that King Shen has a mysterious army, but I thought it was just a rumor." King Yin said, "I didn't expect it to be true..."

He was a little annoyed. When the incident with Prince Shen happened, he was busy keeping a low profile, and Prince Shen's mansion was closely watched by many forces, so he did not dare to intervene. For many years, the incident with Chao Zhenjun had not caused any waves, so he just regarded it as an excuse for the emperor to deal with Prince Shen.

Never thought...

"Master, do we want to...?" the subordinate asked tentatively.

"Wen Qing is kind-hearted." King Yin sneered, "But whether this matter is true or not, it's always worthwhile to go and take a look. But it can't get involved with us. You go find the remaining men of the Xu family and quietly ambush at the place they mentioned. If there is any opportunity, act decisively."

The subordinate said: "Yes!"

The man left quickly. But not long after, someone else came into the room. King Yin saw that it was a leader in charge of the movements near Huaizhong Prefecture.

The man knelt down and said, "Master, we have found traces of the Hidden Dragon Guards in the Huoshan area west of Huaizhong Prefecture."

"What?!" King Yin stood up immediately, "What are the Hidden Dragon Guards doing in Huaizhong Prefecture?"

"I don't know. It's just that the other party... doesn't seem to have any intention of hiding their whereabouts, as if they are deliberately attracting the attention of our spies." The leader said: "Our people quietly followed and took a look. Someone who went to the capital recognized that the leader was Gu Xu, the adopted son of the Duke of Dunxin, and Tang Wuling, the chief supervisor of the Hidden Dragon Guard."

"Tang Wuling?" King Yin ignored Gu Xu's name. "Why is Tang Wuling here?"

"Master, in my opinion, Tang Wuling seems to be taking orders from Gu Xu." said the leader.

King Yin was stunned for a moment.

He paced back and forth in the hall, and suddenly thought of the rumors that had been raging in Luoyang recently. The rumors were so fierce that King Yin knew someone was behind it; but when the wind turned, he was puzzled.

How could a sinister and cunning person like Gu Dashi allow rumors to turn in a direction that was unfavorable to him?

The others were taken to Yunxi by the Hidden Dragon Guards and had no time to care about them, so what about the person who changed the direction of the wind...

Is it Gu Xu?

The Hidden Dragon Guards took Gu Dashi away at this time, and Gu Xu appeared with the Hidden Dragon Guards. It was hard not to doubt his identity. Did he defect to the emperor?

King Yin was confused for a moment and made all kinds of guesses.

"Master, Tang Wuling had appeared in the Jiaoyuan case before with Wen Qing." The leader suddenly remembered this.

King Yin felt suddenly enlightened.

Yes! Wen Qing is not dead, so Tang Wuling, who was in the same party with him, is also safe and sound, without any rumors, which means that the two of them have successfully escaped the emperor's control.

Is Tang Wuling Wen Qing's man?

Then Gu Xu...

"What do they mean? Are they deliberately exposing their whereabouts to come and see me?" King Yin muttered to himself, "Why don't they take the initiative to come to me?"

The leader didn't say anything, he didn't know the answer either.

"No, I need to think about it." King Yin shook his head, "I wonder which side Tang Wuling belongs to...Yes, bring me a pen and paper! I want to ask Wen Qing what exactly is going on."

……

Gu Yue has arrived at the woods at the mountain pass.

"Go ahead and wait for me at the bottom of the cliff," said Gu Yue.

Shi San was very worried. He stood still and held Gu Yue's wrist.

Gu Yue turned to look at him.

He could understand what he meant. Even though neither of them spoke, the meaning flowing in the air was very obvious.

Gu Yue said: "I have made up my mind."

Shi San nodded and let go of his hand. He said nothing, nor did he show any hesitation. Instead, he patted Gu Yue's shoulder again and turned away.

Shi San's figure quickly disappeared among the trees.

Gu Yue took a deep breath and took out his dagger from his waist.

The blade was shiny, reflecting a pair of black eyes. Gu Yue used the scabbard as a staff and walked slowly towards the designated location.

He was extremely calm.

If he leaked the news to King Yin's spy, he would be implicated. The Hidden Dragon Guard was the main force he wanted to meet, so they would also be involved.

Qin Zhaoyue's spies were all in Luoyang, and he seemed to have not made any move regarding the epidemic in the south and the affairs of Prince Shen's Mansion, but Gu Yue didn't think that he was really unaware of anything.

He was so concerned about Gu Xu's position that he would not let such a great opportunity go to waste. As long as he had spies in the Hidden Dragon Guard base in Yunxi or in the Yin Palace, they would know about this.

Three days is enough time for these jackals to smell the scent and come here.

He would throw out the Gu character token, making everyone think that it was the key to commanding the Chaozhen Army. The sight of Gu Xu, some of the forces that hindered them, would be thrown into the waves of fighting for this token.

A drop of water fell on Gu Yue's face.

Gu Yue raised his head. He then noticed that it was raining. The leaves made a soothing and gentle rustling sound. The air around him was cold and damp, and the fragrance of the soil wafted through the forest.

As they were approaching the location he had agreed upon with the Hidden Dragon Guards, Gu Yue did not go too deep to avoid being outflanked and attacked by them.

He stopped beside a small tree with a broken trunk and drew out the single-edged Tang sword in his hand. This sword was very heavy and was just right for him to use for self-defense.

"Come out." Gu Yue said.

The woods opposite were silent for a while, then the bushes shook, and Shen Wumou emerged from the woods with several of his Hidden Dragon Guards.

"Master Gu, nice to meet you again." Shen Wumou smiled, "There were some misunderstandings between us before, but now it seems that these misunderstandings will be resolved one day."

"Misunderstanding?" Gu Yue sneered, "I know your thoughts very well. You spied on my research on the ruins of Prince Shen's Mansion and learned that the token left by Su Huaiyue was in my hands, so you hired someone to kill someone and try to steal the treasure - I know everything!"

"Shen Wumou, you didn't expect that I could see through your trick at a glance and even escape." Gu Yue said, "Your plan has failed!"

Shen Wumou's pupils dilated and his hair stood on end with excitement.

He really found the thing that gave command to Chaozhen’s army, and it was on Gu Dashi!
