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

Gu Yue looked at Qin Zhaoyue's smile and felt confused.

What is this person laughing at?

Smiling at Gu Xu? But why did he feel that Qin Zhaoyue was looking at him?

Oh, forget it! Qin Zhaoyue is willing to get off the car, which means he is willing to take care of this trivial matter, otherwise he will just watch himself make a fool of himself.

It’s just Gu Xu…what does he mean?

Is it too early to contact the prince now? After all, Gu Yue is not sure whether they still have such a deep emotional foundation and life-saving grace as in the original text.

Oh, maybe the prince is Gu Xu's backup plan.

It's... normal not to tell him...

Gu Yue felt sad.

Tang Wuling could no longer sit upright on his horse. Qin Zhaoyue approached him, and he dismounted and knelt on one knee, "Tang Wuling pays respect..."

Qin Zhaoyue raised his hand, and Tang Wuling immediately swallowed the rest of the title.

Gu Yue thought, "Isn't that necessary? Can you shout as loud as I just did?"

"Sir, why don't you stay in the capital instead of running to Yu Ning Prefecture?" Qin Zhaoyue asked.

He didn't even ask Tang Wuling to stand up.

"I was just passing by here and heard that there was an unsolved case, so I stepped in to investigate." Tang Wuling answered neither humbly nor arrogantly. From his tone, it was clear that he was not from Qin Zhaoyue's faction.

Oh, there is no need to listen, otherwise you would know that Qin Zhaoyue went incognito to the vicinity of Yu Ning Prefecture.

"What about you? Who are you?" Qin Zhaoyue turned to the man in green robe who also dismounted and stood upright, his eyes probing with interest.

Gu Yue had already gotten out of the car. It would be too conspicuous for him to just sit there. The other four people also got out.

When he reached the front of the horses and where the three men were confronting each other, the man in green robe had not replied yet.

The corner of the green robe fluttered slightly.

Gu Yue's heart tightened.

He rushed forward, not caring about his dignity, and grabbed the green-robed man's arm hidden under the robe, tightly stopping him. When his hand passed through the robe, his fingertips brushed against something hard and cold; there was a resistance from the arm, and then it gave way in compromise.

"This man looks so familiar." Gu Yue's worry was not unnecessary. The man must be holding a weapon!

He wants to kill the prince on this official road?

Indeed, it is a good plan, but it is too risky, unless this move brings him some great benefit.

Gu Yue tightly grasped the green robe man's arm, refusing to let go for a moment. He was too close to see half of his face hidden under the hood. The curve of his chin alone showed his handsomeness. This was definitely an important character.

Gu Xu tensed his body as Gu Yue rushed forward.

How could he not see Gu Yue's intention?

But, is that Qin Zhaoyue, that prince, really worth risking his life for?

It was obvious that he didn't know any martial arts, but he still rushed forward. Did Qin Zhaoyue need his protection?

The rage at that moment almost swallowed up Gu Xu. He clenched his fists and took a few deep breaths before he managed to calm down.

Don't be impulsive.

Shi San had only a slight tendency to rush forward, but now he was still again, which meant that he no longer felt the killing intent.

The man in green robe smiled softly.

"I am... Wen Qing. Greetings, Your Highness."

He pulled down his hood with his free left hand, revealing a very handsome and gentle face. He looked at Gu Yue and said, "Sir, can you let go of my arm?"

Gu Yue loosened his hand.

Now that his identity has been revealed, it means that he will not resort to assassination again.

But... Wen Qing? Wasn't Wen Qing shot dead by Gu Xu? How could this person claim to be Wen Qing?

He did not see the body of "Wen Qing" as he hid in the carriage the whole time; when King Yin was cleaning up the scene, he did not follow to check.

Gu Yue didn't know whether King Yin had told him the truth about everything that happened in the woods, and he didn't know what information these people had. He could only hold on and suppress his shock and panic, making his expression look calm.

Intuitively, being involved in something where someone dies is not a good thing.

Isn't this a cool male-oriented story? Why do I feel like all my brain cells are dead?

Gu Yue shouted in his heart.

"I didn't expect to see you here." Qin Zhaoyue smiled. "Qin Zhaoning's adviser... why did he come to Yuning Mansion if he didn't follow him to be confined in the mansion? Tang Wuling is in the Hidden Dragon Guard, so investigating some cases can be explained as part of his duties. What about you?"

The meaning of the question was already very clear, and not asking Gu Yue made it clear that he wanted to support him.

Jingcun had already come to Qin Zhaoyue's side. He was very tall, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and he had a dignified temperament. Wen Qing could no longer take action.

Gu Yue stepped back silently, just enough to cover Gu Xu who was wearing a straw hat.

"Your Highness, please forgive me." Wen Qing cupped his hands, his attitude very respectful and submissive, "The other day, the Third Prince was accused of murdering a high-ranking official of the imperial court without any reason, so I was sent here to investigate the matter."

"Oh? The result of the investigation is that the two of you teamed up to oppress innocent people?" Qin Zhaoyue sneered.

Tang Wuling wisely kept silent. There was a ready-made strategist present, and although he seemed to want to take action and abandon him just now, he was still of some use at the moment.

Wen Qing said: "Your Highness, please allow me to report. I am not from the same group as this Lord Tang."

Qin Zhaoyue smiled: "Please explain."

Gu Yue was anxious. What was there to explain? Wouldn't it be better to just ask the five of them to leave?

"I came here to investigate the murder of Lord Lu and Lord Yu, but the clues were cut off when we traced them to Lord Han in Yuning Mansion." Wen Qing said calmly, "This group of people had a conflict with Lord Han and threatened him verbally, so Lord Tang and I tracked them here. I want to ask them to return to Yuning Mansion to ask for clarification."

Tang Wuling understood and said, "I was passing by Yuning Mansion and accidentally came across this case. I saw that this person had the token of the Third Prince's Mansion, so I took action together."

Qin Zhaoyue's eyes swept between the two of them.

"In that case, the five of you will follow me and these two back to Yu Ning Mansion to find out the truth." Qin Zhaoyue said with a faint smile.

Nima!

Gu Yue cursed in his heart, but as things had come to this point, he couldn't continue to refuse, otherwise it would seem that he was really suspicious.

This prince! As if things weren't chaotic enough!

Gu Yue felt bitter. But the current situation was better than the previous confrontation, and the forces involved became three parties.

The more chaotic the situation is, the more chances their protagonist team will have to survive.

"With His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's involvement, I think we will be treated fairly." Gu Yue said in a neutral tone.

Qin Zhaoyue didn't know whether he understood or not, but she still smiled and said to Tang Wuling and Wen Qing: "My lords, please lead the way. I will follow behind you."

"...Yes." Tang Wuling responded.

Except for Qin Zhaoyue, these people all felt very aggrieved.

Wen Qing glanced at Gu Yue who was climbing onto the cart with a probing look in his eyes.

This person seems a little too smart.

Is he a member of the prince's party?
