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

Gu Yue was certain that Qin Zhaoyue would not kill him on the spot.

Jingcun was tense from the moment he entered the courtyard. Shi San posed a great threat to him. In the courtyard, there was the strongest fighter, Wuhuo. Outside the courtyard, besides Wuyan and Wuyun, there were also a group of Wumen companions they trusted.

Qin Zhaoyue left the capital in plain clothes. Could it be that he brought an imperial guard with him?

Gu Xu also said at this time: "You are not only responsible for solving this matter, but also for ensuring Gu Dashi's safety. If anything happens to him, I will not stand with you."

Qin Zhaoyue stood up suddenly.

He felt like he was being fooled, and this feeling of being controlled by others was not a pleasant one.

Gu Xu clearly felt the cold and gloomy gaze from Qin Zhaoyue.

Your true colors are revealed, Prince.

But it was only for a moment, and after a moment, Qin Zhaoyue adjusted his emotions. He looked at Gu Yue and his son, who were motionless and even somewhat leisurely. The smile on the scarred face was dazzling, and the interlocked fingers were even more dazzling!

Why are two men of varying ages, adoptive father and son, being so affectionate with each other?

Qin Zhaoyue knew that this was Gu Yue asserting his sovereignty.

The two of them united.

Gu Dashi has become... so difficult to deal with.

"I understand. This time, I will help you." Qin Zhaoyue said, "I wonder if this will increase the importance of me, the crown prince, in your hearts?"

He even put on his elegant smile again.

"Of course, I would like to thank His Royal Highness in advance." Gu Yue stood up and was about to salute. He wanted to loosen his hands from Gu Xu, but the man held on tightly and he couldn't get rid of him, so he had to use one hand...

Monk's hand gesture? So strange, is he supposed to call me donor... One hand clenched into a fist? Qin Zhaoyue didn't think he was going to hit him, did he? Open his palm and wave it? Is he saying hello? No, no!

Then Qin Zhaoyue saw Gu Dashi raising one hand in front of his chest, changing his gestures a few times, and finally reaching it towards him.

Qin Zhaoyue:?

There's nothing wrong with a handshake. Gu Yue praised his own cleverness.

Qin Zhaoyue thought for a while, then stretched out his hand and shook hands with Gu Yue.

The prince is so smart! Gu Yue was very satisfied.

"It's settled then, we each get what we need." Gu Yue said with a smile.

Qin Zhaoyue shook his hand and then let go: "I have something to say to Gu Xu."

Gu Yue was immediately alert: "What are you going to say? Can I listen?"

Then he realized that this groundless alert made no sense. Wasn't it the original plot to promote the alliance between the crown prince and Gu Xu? This was a good thing.

Since when did you start to have such malicious intentions towards Qin Zhaoyue?

strangeness……

Qin Zhaoyue looked like “Do you think it’s possible?”

"Xiao Xu, what do you think? Do you want to talk?" Gu Yue asked.

Gu Xu thought for a while. His eyelashes drooped, hiding the many emotions in his eyes. After a while, he said, "Okay."

Gu Yue said, "Then I'll go out."

He and Shi San went out. He instinctively felt that Qin Zhaoyue would not attack Gu Xu.

Wu Huo and Wu Feng outside were relieved when they saw Gu Yue coming out. But when they didn't see Gu Xu following Shi San, they became anxious again and asked Gu Yue, "Where's he?"

"The prince has something to say." Gu Yue said. He sat down on the ground in the yard and looked at the door quietly.

……

inside the house.

Jingcun had already closed the door and left, leaving only Qin Zhaoyue and Gu Xu in the room.

"What do you want to say?" Gu Xu's tone was even a little cold.

"You..." Qin Zhaoyue's voice was a little hesitant. Gu Xu's reaction surprised him.

Normally, he would be cowardly and miserable, having experienced misfortunes since childhood and being tortured by a wicked man like Gu Dashi. What did Gu Dashi teach him?

This alienated look with thorns all over the body is quite different from that of the past.

Gu Xu sat quietly, staring at Qin Zhaoyue with his pair of dark eyes.

Qin Zhaoyue couldn't help but feel cold. He frowned slightly and asked, "Do you really trust that Gu Dashi? I heard that you were tortured by him for several years, but now it seems that you have forgotten the hatred."

"You're not saying this." Gu Xu didn't answer, and his expression didn't even change.

"Do you want to know about your own life experience?" Qin Zhaoyue asked.

Gu Xu's mouth seemed to curl up into a smile: "I'm not young. How could I not remember my life experience?"

Qin Zhaoyue's expression changed: "You remember everything?"

Gu Xu said: "You seem surprised? I am Gu Dashi's adopted son. This is my background."

Qin Zhaoyue's expression was bad for a moment. Gu Xu seemed to have inherited Gu Dashi's true teachings. The two of them were exactly the same... It was breathtaking.

He adjusted his mood and continued, "I can see that you are a smart person. I am in need of someone like you."

Gu Xu did not answer.

Qin Zhaoyue continued: "It may not be appropriate now, but I will make this promise. If you are willing... you can stand by my side at any time."

Seeing that Gu Xu still didn't say anything, Qin Zhaoyue continued, "...That Gu Dashi is not trustworthy. He has plans for you, and you will find out sooner or later. Gu Xu, don't believe in any kindness that comes without reason. There must be a conspiracy behind it."

Gu Xu glanced at Qin Zhaoyue after hearing this, and Qin Zhaoyue actually read a hint of irony in it. He actually understood what Gu Xu meant, and frowned to explain: "I am not shy about anything. I will win you over because you have something I need. But it's not just that..."

"Anything else?" Gu Xu looked at him leisurely, as if waiting for Qin Zhaoyue to say more interesting words.

"Maybe you don't believe in fate." Qin Zhaoyue smiled and said, "From the first moment I saw you... I felt that you would be a very good friend of mine."

Gu Xu's mouth almost couldn't be suppressed. He suppressed his laughter. It was a nice thing to say, but it was not as good as the look of "Gu Dashi" trying so hard to make up a lie.

"Are you done?" Gu Xu asked.

Qin Zhaoyue frowned and said, "I just want to provide you with a way out. This is always valid... I'm done."

Gu Xu got up and left.

Decisive, no need to waste words. Gu Yue might have said something nice, but Gu Xu was reluctant to do such a project.

When they reached the door, Gu Xu suddenly said.

"Thank you for your reminder. I will never forget what happened in the past."

……

Gu Yue saw him coming out and immediately stood up from the ground. He looked nervous, but when he looked around, he saw a few servants and Jing Cun in the yard, so he held back his words.

"Are you hungry? Are you tired? Let's go back and have something delicious." Gu Yue smiled and took his hand, then said to Jingcun: "Master Jingcun, we will take our leave first."

Jingcun nodded.

The group left through the corner gate, reunited safely, and disappeared into the night.

Jingcun returned to the house and saw Qin Zhaoyue frowning and thinking about something.

"Your Highness, the account book in Gu Dashi's hand..."
