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

It had just rained, and the dirt road and the woods were very muddy. When Shi San came back, his boots were covered in mud.

Gu Yue looked at him and got a look that said "it's done", and he felt relieved.

Accordingly, the road was difficult to travel on, and the flatbed carriage stumbled and stumbled, at least half the speed of a dry dirt road. Wu Yun drove into the forest path, and after about three quarters of an hour, the carriage drove out of the woods with mud and came to another official road.

Hopefully this will slow down the pursuers.

Gu Yue was panicked for an hour, and then slowly calmed down.

There was no point in panicking. The bad premonition did not fade away as they gradually moved away from Yuning Mansion, but became more obvious. According to the general routine, the people chasing them should be on the way.

What should I do!

Gu Yue prepared for the worst.

The Wumen people were not pushovers. If things got bad, they would just rescue Gu Xu and he and Shi San would escape. But in this way, all of Liuli Town's plans would be in vain and they would have to start all over again.

Moreover, Gu Xuruo is not yet the master of Wumen, and it is easy for him to be manipulated and used by Wumen. After all, there is no prince to teach him the art of power and support him behind the scenes.

Gu Yue doesn't have that ability.

Cars were coming and going on the official road, all moving very slowly.

The sound of horse hooves gradually came from behind.

Gu Yue really... He was not surprised at all, but this group of people moved too fast. They had been out of the city for less than two hours when they caught up. It was impossible for Wu Yan to be so stupid as to take the convoy and take the same road as them. How could he catch up so quickly?

It was not surprising that the news of the invasion of the pepper garden was reported back to Lord Han's residence early in the morning. He could have just sent a fast horse back to report the news. But in such a short time of the morning, the identity of the intruder was confirmed and monitored and tracked. Isn't this a too quick response?

Perhaps from the very beginning, after they displeased Lord Han that night, they had already entered Lord Han's sight.

What on earth was Gu Xu planning that made him take this seemingly meaningless action that would only expose them?

Gu Yue had no intention of speeding up his escape. This broken carriage would certainly not be able to escape the pursuit of the cavalry behind.

As expected, a cavalry in black clothes and riding yellow horses surrounded them from behind and forward, and Wu Yun was forced to rein in his horse and stop in the middle of the official road.

Seeing this situation, the innocent people around all whipped their horses as fast as they could to leave this dangerous place.

Gu Yue looked around and forced himself to calm down.

This team must have dozens of riders. They are dressed in uniform, use uniform weapons, and their aura should not be underestimated. In terms of numbers alone, if all the Wumen brought this time were added together, they might still have a chance of winning.

But there were only five of them. Wu Feng and Wu Yun were not good at fighting, Gu Xu had just started practicing martial arts and his level was not very high, and there was also Gu Yue, a lame cannon fodder who held them back, so it was not easy for them to run away.

The leader hasn't come yet, and the soldiers are surrounding him.

Gu Yue said nothing and watched carefully.

In the distance, some carriages that were there to watch the fun or were stuck in traffic gradually stopped. Gu Yue glanced at them and stopped at one of them for a moment.

That car...

"You are so calm. I am impressed by you." A voice came from behind.

Gu Xu's back stiffened slightly and he clenched his fists.

Gu Yue didn't notice. His full attention was drawn to the two horses that were staggered in front and behind. The one leading the way was a mysterious man in green robes who looked very pretentious and mysterious. The young man in black behind him was a little more normal, but he also looked like an unruly and violent character.

Most of his face was covered, and the exposed chin was white and beardless. The fingers holding the reins were white and long, and he should be an intelligent character. The boots exposed under the robe were very delicate, with patterns on them that Gu Yue had never seen before.

The young man in black who followed behind him showed his face openly, which means that he did not need to cover his face. In other words, he had been working secretly for a certain person, and even if he showed his true face, people would not associate him with the person behind him.

Of course, he is definitely not a county magistrate or a yamen runner. You can tell that just by looking at the gangster-like crowd around him.

On the other hand, the man in green robes who covered his face might be a prominent figure, or someone in the vicinity of Yu Ning Mansion who was familiar with his appearance, or maybe...

Some of the people around Gu Yue knew him.

Gu Yue closed his eyes for a moment, and said with a smile, "Brother, why are you surrounding us?" according to the lines he had rehearsed in his mind along the way.

"Do you know Lord Sarhan from Yuning Prefecture?" asked the man in green robe.

"I heard something about it." Gu Yue felt a little relieved. He didn't start shouting and killing right away, which meant that there was still room for this matter to turn around.

"Early this morning, the servants found him murdered at home." The man in green robe said slowly, "According to my investigation, you and Lord Han had some conflicts a few days ago, so I have to take you back to Yuning Mansion to question you."

The corner of Gu Yue's mouth twitched.

Do you think I'm just some ordinary cannon fodder?

He asked this ambiguous question, thinking that I would be surprised and say: Ah~ Lord Han went out~ How could he die at home~ and then blow up his own truck?

would not!

"I don't know where to start with this. How could we have any conflicts with Lord Han?" Gu Yue acted cautiously and clasped his hands together: "Hehe... Lord Han is the famous Hu merchant in Yuning Prefecture, right? How could I offend him?"

"The servants in Lord Han's house testified that you threatened and intimidated him in front of Sun's mansion." said the man in green robe.

"…I just said a few words. How could it be a threat?" Gu Yue denied it. "My unknown sir, you acted so recklessly. Bringing this group of people to block innocent people on the official road is probably unreasonable, isn't it?"

"You just need to follow me back to Yu Ning Prefecture and go to the government office to accept investigation. There is no need to say anything else." said the man in green robe.

Such bickering on the road would not be very effective, the man in green robe just wanted to avoid gossip in the process.

Gu Yue and his companions had been taking the official road, and even changed their route halfway, so it took him quite some time to find them. And these roads were crowded with people, and there were many eyes and ears, so it would not be good to cause trouble.

"You guys, without any evidence and without revealing your identities, want us, my family, to leave with you?" Gu Yue's words became more and more sharp: "To act in this way, you really don't take the laws of Northern Qin seriously."

This scene really looked like some kind of robbery by mountain bandits. Unless they were a group of yamen runners, it would make sense for them to arrest people openly on the official road.

The young man in black rode his horse forward, and the man in green robe frowned slightly and raised his hand to stop him.

The young man in black pushed his hand away and came in front of Gu Yue.
