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

The moonlight was bright, and he saw that the expression of the man in red suddenly became solemn.

The man was silent for a long time. He couldn't see any flaws from Gu Yue's expression, so he said tentatively: "I don't know what you are talking about."

"Isn't this a good way to answer others? Don't talk nonsense to me." Gu Yue smiled, "When I was tying the rope for you just now, I found something on your body. Stop playing dumb."

He was cheating him.

Tattoos are not popular in Northern Qin, and the logo on this person's little finger is most likely the mark of some organization or industry.

It's a lie! This is not the first time he has done this. Wasn't Sarhan fooled by him before?

He noticed the red man's fingers curled slightly.

"Your Excellency, is...?"

This is considered acquiescence.

"You don't need to know who I am. Why was I discovered by the Hidden Dragon Guards? Did the mission fail?" Gu Yue stared at him.

“You…you are from Lingfeng Pavilion…?” said the man in red.

Got it!

Lingfeng Pavilion... Which Lingfeng Pavilion? What is the word?

Gu Yue's pupils couldn't help but dilate. He suppressed his excitement and his face became colder: "How long are you going to keep talking nonsense?"

The man in red remained silent. His caution exceeded Gu Yue's expectations. Perhaps it came from the rules of the pavilion, or perhaps it was his intuition.

"Show me your token." The man in red suddenly said.

Keepsake?

Gu Yue froze for a moment.

He didn't have a token. A token was an important anti-counterfeiting certificate for friendly troops to recognize each other, and Gu Yue couldn't make one out of thin air without any intelligence and in an emergency.

What could it be? How can I convince him?

Is it a finger tattoo?

Will it help if I draw one on it?

However, in this moment of silence, the red-clothed man's face changed. He immediately confirmed that the man in front of him was not a member of the cabinet, but an unknown force trying to defraud information.

His eyes swept across Gu Yue and Shi San, whose face was covered in black and gray, and he immediately made a decision in his mind.

The two pairs of eyes stared at each other, both looking for a way to break the deadlock.

Gu Yue has been paying attention to his actions.

The man in red moved his mouth slightly.

Thousands of thoughts flashed through Gu Yue's mind at once. In shock, he rushed forward and shouted, "Wait!"

However, what responded to him was a swallow dart flying towards him. The man in red used his tongue to launch a hidden weapon, piercing Gu Yue, but he was still some distance away from the man in red.

Shi San suddenly raised his knife and knocked down the hidden weapon, and pointed the blade at the man again. But the man in red obviously didn't expect Gu Yue to be an ordinary person who didn't know any martial arts. His hidden weapon was fired too early and had no effect. He lost his only chance to kill this man.

What a pity. However, he still seized the opportunity.

When Shi San blocked the hidden weapon and, at Gu Yue's instruction, quickly stepped forward and pinched the red-clothed man's cheek, the man had already bitten the poison pill in his mouth and swallowed it, with black blood oozing out of his mouth.

Shi San was stunned. The man in red in his hand gradually lost his strength and fell down, no longer breathing.

"...Sorry." Shi San turned and said to Gu Yue.

Gu Yue was still in the posture of lunging forward, completely stunned. He didn't expect the man in red to commit suicide so quickly.

"No, no, it's okay. We have no experience, and I forgot that we can commit suicide by taking poison." He held his forehead and stood up.

He didn't expect that this man was carrying a secret important enough to cost him his life.

Still saying it's good luck or bad luck?

"Completely dead?" he asked.

Shi San nodded.

Gu Yue approached the body of the man in red. This was the first time he was so close to a corpse, and he had plenty of time to observe it.

It was also the first time that I truly felt that "someone died in front of me."

The assassination before him only felt bloody and too fast, and everything was over before he had a chance to react. And this person...

The difference between a corpse and a living person can be felt at a glance.

Even though he had been dead for less than five minutes, his open eyes had already become dilated, out of focus, and turned gray.

The skin still felt warm to the touch, far from the stage of rigor mortis.

Gu Yue reached out and closed his eyelids.

In the past, when he watched TV dramas, he would always complain about the scenes where people had to cover their eyes. But when he experienced it himself, he found that it was simply too difficult to look directly into those gray eyes after covering them.

Scary.

Gu Yue calmed down and asked Shi San to guard the surroundings. He carefully checked the red-clothed man's body. He almost took off his clothes and touched them inch by inch, but he didn't find any interlayer or useful things.

The only information is... Lingfeng Pavilion.

What three words? What organization is this?

Gu Yue wanted to arrest the original author and beat him up. He told him that he was ambiguous! He told him that he was perfunctory! He told him that he could only write Gu Xu to show off!

"Load him into the car and take him away. We can't let him die here." Gu Yue said.

Bring the body back and let Gu Xu take a look at it first. But if we meet up too late, the body will rot and stink, so we can only throw it away.

Oh, you can leave the clothes for now.

Gu Yue didn't dare to stay in the car with the corpse, so he sat in the front of the car with Shi San. The two drove away from the farmland path.

This place is too far from the original location, and Gu Xu will probably get anxious if he can't find them.

……

Camping outside the city.

The sky is bright.

Two hours had passed when Tang Wuling realized something was wrong. They searched the woods and moat but found nothing.

He then remembered the strangeness of the two people. They met in a hurry, and at first glance it seemed that the man in red had met them on a narrow road, killing one and injuring one, leaving the man who seemed to be stupid behind. But...

"Now that I think about it, they do have a lot of flaws. Who would set up camp so far away from the official road? Aren't they afraid of being robbed?" Tang Wuling said angrily.

"There's not a lot of blood on the ground, why are you so sure that man was killed?" Wen Qing asked coldly.

"It's too dark, but they still deliberately blocked it. How... cunning!" Tang Wuling was shaking with anger.

He pounded the tree trunk hard, making a dull sound. Wen Qing, who was squatting in front of the extinguished campfire checking the embers, was not affected, but was concentrating on fiddling with something in the ashes.

Tang Wuling walked to the front of the tent. The tent had been opened completely, and the inside was in a mess, but there was a little blood on the corners. The man in red must be hiding inside.

The location of the tent was also extremely tricky. If he had stopped and asked a few more questions, he would not have failed to notice it.

He was actually... fooled again!

"They took everything away." Tang Wuling said, "There are wheel tracks here. They brought a carriage. This may be their base."

Wen Qing said nothing.

"What are you looking for? It's all burned, what is there to see?" Tang Wuling walked to Wen Qing.

Wen Qing paused for a moment as he fiddled with the ashes, then slowly pulled his fingers out.

He held a piece of paper between his fingers.

The unburned turmeric rice paper only has a knuckle-length dot left in this corner.

There are two crooked words on it: Qianshan.
