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

Gu Yue was speechless for a moment.

His hands holding the reins were shaking a little, and he followed Gu Xu without stopping, carried by Xiaobai.

Hasn't he thought about these things?

But it is hard to say whose fault it is that things have come to this point. Gu Yue thought, if we have to say who is right or wrong, it is probably his.

If he wasn't a person who had to do something to prove his worth, if he was a person who could enjoy Gu Xu's feelings without any reason, would all this not have happened?

He would not put himself in danger just to help Gu Xu clear the obstacles, nor would he try his best to please everyone on the surface in order to maintain temporary stability and give Gu Xu time to develop.

He would not rush into a trap when there were still loopholes in the plan.

Wu Fei's words did hurt him and waver him, but there was already such a huge flaw in his heart.

It was just the last straw that broke his back.

Gu Xu's voice came from the front: "You don't seem surprised by this."

Gu Yue was startled, then he remembered to pretend: "I have never been interested in this kind of thing."

Gu Xu slowed down even more, almost walking parallel to him: "Oh? Just now you were righteously condemning me for marrying a new lover, but now you change your mind and say you are not interested?"

Gu Yue turned his head to look at him. His eyes were deep and contained many emotions, but he couldn't understand them either.

"...After all, gay men are very rare. Now that I have met one, it is reasonable to ask him casually." Gu Yue said.

"Yes, that's reasonable." Gu Xu raised the corner of his mouth slightly.

"I am not condemning you." Gu Yue added.

"Thank you so much." Gu Xu said this in an ambiguous way.

The two of them walked less than three meters forward when Gu Yue asked again: "From your tone, it seems that you still have feelings for him. If you have someone in your heart, why do you want to get married?"

Gu Xu's eyes were more meaningful: "...What does this have to do with you?"

Gu Yue was stunned.

That’s true, he is not Gu Dashi.

He is just a coward who dares to wait in the dark and wait for time to make judgment.

He turned his eyes away and tried to ride his horse forward to avoid Gu Xu's gaze, but Xiaobai refused to cooperate.

He could only say: "I just asked casually. If you don't want to answer, forget it."

Gu Xu remained silent.

After a while, Gu Yue said again: "It is meaningless to discuss these things now. After all, the person is dead."

Gu Xu remained speechless. He let Gu Yue go for the time being, and rode forward, putting some distance between him and Gu Yue.

The rest of the journey was speechless.

The two of them went out of the street near Tenglin Lane and arrived at Zhuque Street. They had no intention of looking at the prosperous scenery around them and left Luoyang directly from the East Gate.

The path along the Luoshui River still looks the same as before. As Gu Yue looks at it, memories of the past come to his mind little by little.

When they were waiting for Gu Xu outside Luoyang City, they encountered the man in red who was being hunted by Tang Wuling, and thus learned about Lingfeng Pavilion. Later, based on Wen Qing's fragmentary words, they learned about Wen Qing's relationship with Lingfeng Pavilion.

Later, there was the Ganzhou incident, which involved Mu You, and they came into the emperor's sight.

Then he was conferred the title of Earl and dealt with various forces in Luoyang.

At last……

Everything we experienced together seemed like yesterday, how could he be so heartless and unaware of anything?

Gu Yue was feeling a little depressed.

……

Because they were traveling at a fast speed, the time they stopped to rest on the road was shortened to the evening.

Seeing the sun setting in the west, Wuyan began to look for a nearby place to camp and rest. The three of them were walking on a main road, and there were many people, so there were already some pedestrians at the resting places on the roadside, gathering in groups of three or four.

Wu Yan chose an open space, tied up the carriage, took the tent and bedding from the carriage, and assembled it on the spot.

Wait, didn’t they say to travel light and come back quickly?

This doesn't look like light travel, but rather like a fully equipped camping trip.

He got off the horse, and Gu Xu naturally reached out to take the reins, and led Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai to the side to eat grass and rest. Then he turned back and his eyes stopped on Gu Yue's face again.

The fire had been lit, and Wu Yan even put up a pot and started cooking something.

"Traveling light?" Gu Yue muttered, "This posture."

Gu Xu looked at him, then said: "Well, I am quite delicate and need to be taken care of carefully."

Gu Yue choked up and was speechless.

What does this mean?

He didn't understand, but he saw Wu Yan even took out some dried meat and put it into the pot.

It seems that he was well prepared.

Gu Yue felt more and more that this action was planned and carefully prepared against him, but now that things had come to this point, he couldn't turn back. Thinking of this, he felt much more relieved and sat down by the fire with peace of mind.

A bit hot, but bearable.

Gu Xu carefully observed his sitting posture and expression, wondering what he was thinking. After a while, he also sat down beside the fire.

Wu Yan finished cooking the pot of food, poured it into wooden bowls, and distributed them to the two of them.

Gu Yue took it. It was a bowl of rice and meat porridge, mixed with freshly picked wild vegetables, frangipani and bacon. The bacon had been fully boiled and exuded just the right fragrance.

However, the scene reminded him of that bloody night.

Even the personnel structure is the same, with superiors and subordinates, and an unrelated but closely connected outsider.

Smiling silently, Gu Yue looked at the master and servant.

Gu Xu held a wooden bowl in his right hand, concentrating on listening to Wu Yan's report on the progress of the journey by the light of the fire. The flickering flames made his outline sway slightly, and the shadow of his eyelashes was long.

Gu Yue was so engrossed in watching that his eyes, reflected by the firelight, glanced over here.

He hurriedly looked away and missed Gu Xu's smile.

Gu Xu asked: "What?"

"What?" Gu Yue pretended to be dumb, but saw that the master and servant opposite him were both staring at him.

His scalp tingled, so he changed the subject: "I was just wondering, is there something that can paralyze a person's entire body and make them unable to move, either by taking it or smelling it?"

He vaguely remembered that there was a special smell around Qin Zhaoyue at that time.

"Why are you asking this?" Gu Xu asked, "Is it the method used by the Crown Prince that night?"

Gu Yue raised his eyebrows and looked at him in surprise.

Gu Xu said: "Since you mentioned this, I have something to ask."

"You say." Gu Yue felt a chill down his spine.

"Are you sure that Qin Zhaoyue is really dead?" Gu Xu asked.

Gu Yue's face became a little serious when he heard this. Putting aside the emotional entanglement between them, whether Qin Zhaoyue was dead or alive was indeed an important issue.

"I only remember that I stabbed him a few times during the crisis." Gu Yue gestured on his chest, "About these places? He was already unable to speak at that time, and seemed to have difficulty breathing."

Gu Xu nodded: "You fainted afterwards, so you don't know what happened to those two people in the end."

"That's right." Gu Yue said, "I woke up in a room. Before I could find out where I was, I was kidnapped and taken to...Dun Xinbo's mansion."
