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

Let's go through it again. They broke into Jiaoyuan at night for the account book, but their whereabouts were exposed. The next day, there were more spies around the inn monitoring them, probably to confirm whether they had left Yu Ning Mansion.

If they rashly returned to the inn, they would be discovered immediately. After all, he and Gu Xu had very obvious features, their height and their natural walking posture that could not be disguised.

Lord Han can then use his tyrannical power in Yu Ning Prefecture to arrest them, interrogate them, and search them, and by then the account books may be lost.

But since Lord Han had previously been left with the impression that there was someone behind him, they should not be overly embarrassed.

I could just give the account book to Wuhuo and let him take the things away. But it's not safe either, because...

Well, Gu Yue felt guilty, and he did not trust Gu Xu and Wumen 100%. Gu Xu was easy to talk to, but he had always refused to reveal the relationship between Wumen and him, so Gu Yue certainly could not believe it completely, and it seemed that there was a traitor inside Wumen in the original text?

In short, it was a fairly correct choice to lead people to leave Yuning Mansion quietly now. Gu Yue couldn't think of anything inappropriate. On the surface, they were businessmen who came to do business, so it was understandable that they were in a hurry to go back.

If they are unfortunately intercepted by Lord Han, they will use the psychological advantage of having someone behind them to scare him.

As for the ledger...

Gu Yue called out to Shi San who was sitting still: "Shi San."

Shi San looked at him.

Gu Xu peeked from under the brim of his straw hat, and Gu Yue leaned close to Shi San's ear and whispered something.

Shi San shook his head. Gu Yue's face was a little stiff, and he talked for a while. Shi San looked reluctant, but still nodded in agreement.

Shi San jumped off the carriage and quickly entered the woods.

Gu Yue explained something to Wu Yun again, and Wu Yun agreed. After a while, the carriage deviated from the official road and headed towards the path on the hillside.

Gu Xu couldn't figure out what Gu Yue was going to do.

……

Yu Ningfu Inn half an hour ago.

Wu Yan stood beside the several convoys parked in the backyard and asked, "Are you all packed?"

A dark-clad guard in black replied, "Okay."

"According to the plan." Wu Yan said.

……

Several people who were lying in ambush opposite the main entrance of the inn were wearing hats and pretending to take a break and drink tea, glancing towards the entrance of the inn from time to time.

At the other end of the street, a man sneaked around in a circle and came to the group of people watching at the main gate. He sat down casually and said, "A carriage came out from the back door."

The person sitting in the middle nodded.

Sure enough, not long after, several people in cloaks walked out of the inn. They looked like an ordinary group of merchants, a group of five people, walking calmly towards the north gate of the city.

The leading observer waved his hand gently, leaving two people to continue watching, and he followed with the sneaky man.

There was nothing else, one was a little short, and the other walked with a slight limp. Although he tried his best to cover it up and make his walking posture natural, he still couldn't escape the eyes of the observer.

Without acting rashly, the observer followed the group of five people into an alley.

The leader lifted his hood and walked towards the carriage team parked at the entrance of the alley. He talked to Wu Yan, the leader. Then the man put down his hood, turned around and took the hand of the shorter man, and got on the carriage with him. The remaining three people also got on the carriages, and one of them took off his hood, revealing Wu Feng's face.

The convoy set off and slowly headed towards the east gate of the city.

The observer blew a short whistle, and a pigeon flew over and landed on his hand. After a moment, the pigeon flew away, and the observer followed the convoy and continued on.

……

The convoy led by Wu Yan successfully passed through the East City Gate and headed east along the official road.

The surveillance man changed his horse and followed the team at a leisurely pace, twenty feet behind, blending in with the horse and cattle team and being very inconspicuous. Wu Yan drove the first carriage of the team and seemed to be unaware of it. Wu Feng and Wu Yang sat on the shaft of the rear carriage and chatted, looking relaxed.

About half an hour after walking out of Yu Ning Mansion, a horse came running on the official road behind and slowly stopped next to the observer's horse.

The surveillance officer turned his head and saw a man in a green robe with a hood covering most of his face sitting on horseback, with his head slightly tilted towards him.

"Sir?!" The subordinate was startled and almost fell off his horse, "Why are you personally..."

He lowered his voice, his tone cautiously flattering.

"Which convoy?" the man in green robe asked directly.

"That's the convoy of six cars in front, with a blue roof and a man in black sitting in the first car." The subordinate said hurriedly.

"Are those people also in the car?" asked the man in green robe.

The men could already sense the oppressive atmosphere coming from all around them, and there were figures hidden in the woods surrounding the official road.

"Yes, I saw them get on the car with my own eyes." The subordinate said confidently.

“……” The man in green robe was silent for a while.

"Sir, should we start now?" The subordinate waited for a while and finally couldn't help asking.

"Tell me all the details of what you saw." The man in green robe raised his hand and made a gesture. The horse team following behind him moved closer but did not move rashly.

The subordinate's forehead was covered with cold sweat. He described in detail what he saw around noon, and the man in green robes asked additional questions from time to time. He described in detail the clothing of the men, their route, and all the reactions and actions of the leader Wu Yan.

"That is, you didn't see their faces."

The man in green robe turned his head, and a pair of eyes with gentle appearance but cold eyes pressed towards him from under the hood.

The subordinate shuddered: "Yes, but the one called Afeng... I saw it clearly..."

"Which one?"

"Um, the second car, the one talking..." The subordinate's voice became smaller and smaller.

“……” The man in green robe stared for a while and chuckled.

"What's wrong, sir..." the subordinate asked tremblingly.

"Go back to Yuning Mansion." The man in green robe turned his horse's head and snapped his fingers. The people in the surrounding woods immediately disappeared.

The man in green robe drove his horse towards the horse group following closely behind him. The young man in black was sitting on the horse's back chewing grass stems out of boredom.

"What's wrong?" Seeing the man in green robe turn back, the young man spat out the grass in his mouth.

"You, continue to follow them." The man in green robe ordered his subordinates who were following them.

The men breathed a sigh of relief and turned back.

"Ah? Speak." the young man urged.

"This guy is smarter than I thought." The man in green robe laughed emotionlessly, "To think of this."

"But you figured it out?" The young man waved his hand, and the entire cavalry turned and galloped towards the direction of Yuning Mansion. "That's not particularly smart."

"It's enough to deceive them." The man in green robe kicked his horse's belly and followed closely.

"Then where can we find them now? After such a long time, they must have run away." asked the young man.

"...West Gate. Let's take a small path." said the man in green robe.
