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

Gu Yue looked at him warily.

The man in green robe let out a barely perceptible click of the tongue.

The young man in black took out a token from his chest and threw it into Gu Yue's hand.

"Tang Wuling, the Chief Inspector of the Hidden Dragon Guard, has been ordered to assist in the investigation of the Sarhan case. Can you come with us now?"

As soon as he got the token, Gu Yue knew it was the real thing.

The feel is different! The dragon inlaid on it seems to be made of pure gold, and the carving is very exquisite. On the front is the word "Yinlong", and on the back is Tang Wuling's name and official title.

What kind of official is the Chief Supervisor? How senior is he? Does the Hidden Dragon Guard exist in the original text?

"On whose orders?" Gu Yue looked up at him and held the token in his hand.

Tang Wuling frowned.

This attitude... He now believed what the man in green robe said, that Gu Dashi was not just a simple merchant.

"You don't need to know." Tang Wuling said lightly.

Gu Xu kept his head down, covered by his hat, and said nothing. Gu Yue and Wu Feng exchanged glances, and the other nodded slightly, confirming the authenticity of the token.

"Who is this mysterious gentleman?" Gu Yue glanced at the silent man in green robes, "How can you prove that this person is not the one you abuse your power for personal gain?"

What I mean is, is this Hidden Dragon Guard helping someone to use their power to oppress others?

Gu Yue had a limited level of education, and in such an emergency he could only come up with an idiom. He looked towards the carriage parked in the distance again, his heart beating.

The other party even brought out the Hidden Dragon Guards. Any organization that could make Tang Wuling reveal his identity at this time must be a powerful organization that a civilian like Gu Dashi cannot refuse.

But at the same time, they have such a powerful backer. If Gu Yue takes Gu Xu back with them, they will definitely be at the mercy of others. Not to mention whether the account book can be kept, they may even lose their lives here.

It doesn’t matter whether Lord Han is dead or not. What matters is that there is an excuse for a murder investigation here.

Do we really have to...

"No need to flatter me." The man in green robe said, "If you are unwilling to cooperate with the official duties, then I can only..."

Tang Wuling moved his left hand slightly, and Gu Yue saw a cold light at his waist.

This is going to be a big deal if we start fighting!

“Your Highness the Crown Prince! Is it really okay for us to just stand by and watch?” Gu Yue made up his mind and decided to fight!

He called to the carriage parked in the distance.

……

In the dark dungeon, there were only two or three candles as thick as arms lit.

The dungeon was small, with only three cells. In the deepest cell, there was no light or sound, except for a trembling breath.

The two cells slightly outside had railings made of fine iron, and a strong smell of blood and stench emanated from them. Through the dim light of the candles on the wall, two people could be seen hanging from the iron frames in the cells.

His hair was long and dirty, hanging down in wisps.

The man on the left was barely breathing, but he still stubbornly held the iron chain close to his hand. He barely shook his wrist, and the end of the chain began to swing, hitting the iron frame that hung him.

When, when, when, when...

"Stop knocking! What on earth are you doing?" A guard stood up at the front of the cell. "Damn it, you keep knocking all day long. This is underground, no one can hear you!"

The guard walked to the door of the inner cell and kicked the iron door.

"Road... Road..." the hanging man shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Oh, what a hassle, stop knocking!" The guard was so annoyed that he took the key to open the door of the outermost cell next door and walked in.

There was a loud thud, and it seemed that the guard kicked the person in the cell. The person hanging outside seemed to groan, but soon the sound disappeared, leaving only a faint breathing sound.

"Still alive!" the guard shouted. He brought a bowl of water and pulled up the hair of the semi-conscious man.

Under the hair was a face covered with whip marks and completely disfigured.

The guard fed the man half a bowl of water. He still had some instincts in his coma, so he drank fairly smoothly, with some spilling on the ground.

"Okay, stop knocking! I've given him the water to drink, he won't die." The guard came out with a bowl and locked the cell door again.

The man in the middle cell stopped shaking his wrists, and the dungeon fell silent for a moment.

There was movement in the innermost cell again.

There was a rustling sound, like someone crawling on the ground. The guard seemed not to hear it, and sat on the wooden bench opposite the cell, asking with interest: "General Yu, you two are really the most tenacious guys I have ever seen. You have stayed in this dungeon for so long and are still alive."

"..." General Yu in the middle cell was silent.

“I don’t know what the prince is thinking. Is he going to take you hostages?” The guard said to himself, “That stupid prince is ridiculous. He thought it was Qin Zhaoning who killed you two and even advised the emperor to ban him from traveling… Hahahahaha, he’s really stupid, General Yu, don’t you think? He can’t even figure out who his enemy is…”

General Yu remained silent. His voice had long been broken, and the sound he had just made was already his limit.

He just listened clearly to every word the guard said and engraved it deeply in his heart.

……

Qin Zhaoyue suddenly opened his eyes.

He pressed his forehead and heard Jing Cun calling him from outside the carriage.

"Who is it?" Qin Zhaoyue asked.

"I don't know him, he looks like an ordinary person." Jingcun said.

"What does it look like?" Qin Zhaoyue asked.

"Well... he looks big and strong. There is a scar on his forehead. There are five people in the group, and the others seem to be followers. One of them is wearing a straw hat." Jingcun replied.

"...No way." Qin Zhaoyue smiled, stood up and got off the carriage.

The man in green robe tightened his grip on the reins. Tang Wuling's face suddenly darkened, and he looked at Gu Yue, who had a hint of a smile on his face, and it was unclear whether it was a mockery or something else.

Gu Yue thought to himself that you forced me to do this.

He looked at Gu Xu. Gu Xu was calm and composed, showing no signs of emotional fluctuation.

Could it be that Gu Xu arranged for the prince to appear here?

Is Qin Zhaoyue Gu Xu's backup?

In other words, they had already been in contact?

But Gu Xu had stopped interacting with him from the beginning, as if he had left everything to himself. If Gu Yue hadn't seen the horse ridden by the important supporting character next to the carriage, he wouldn't have recognized it as the prince's carriage.

There was a white horse in the carriage that came to pick up the prince, and a ball-shaped pendant was hung on the saddle. It was not special, but in the original text, Gu Xu and the prince once drove their horses up the mountain in the middle of the night to watch the stars and drink wine, and the prince pinned the ball-shaped pendant on Gu Xu's horse with his own hands.

It’s not that Gu Yue is a meticulous reader, it’s mainly because this paragraph has been taken out and chewed over and over again by fans of the Prince x Gu Xu CP in the book discussion forum, and they are almost done with it.

Qin Zhaoyue got off the carriage and walked towards the center of the incident. The moment his eyes met with Gu Yue's, they both smiled slightly as if they understood each other.
