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

Gu Xu frowned as he looked at his hesitation and embarrassment.

There's that expression again.

During these two years, the vixen had been open with him about everything. He never concealed any of his plans or plots, except...

Except for the part involving his own secrets.

Who is he, where did he come from, why did he turn into Gu Dashi, and why is he following him?

Gu Xu trusted him, but he was also curious about the vixen's motive for staying with him.

The vixen avoided the subject.

In today's incident, he again showed hesitation and concealment. Could it be that the handle Qin Zhaoyue had on him was related to this?

Gu Xu smiled.

"Can't you tell me?" he asked, tightening his hands slightly on the table, then loosening them.

Gu Yue looked a little depressed: "It's not that I can't tell you, but I haven't figured out how to say it yet. Anyway...you have to pretend to cooperate with him recently and act like you have a good relationship with him."

"why?"

"Because if you don't do this, it is likely to cause some unnecessary misunderstandings between us." Gu Yue said, "I don't want you to really stand on his side, just pretend."

After Gu Yue finished speaking, he felt nervous. Gu Xu shouldn't think that this was a plan between him and the prince, right?

"...Okay, I believe you." Gu Xu nodded.

Gu Yue looked into his eyes, which were clear.

He was touched for a moment, then felt even more uncomfortable.

Obviously, he is not a person who knows everything about him, obviously there are many strange things about him, and obviously he has been hiding his identity, but Gu Xu still...

"It's not too late to tell me when you've made up your mind." Gu Xu said in a low voice.

Gu Yue felt an indescribable anxiety and guilt.

He shook off these useless thoughts and said, "The most urgent thing now is to solve Mu You's problem. How are you preparing?"

"Everything is ready, just waiting for tonight." Gu Xu relaxed his shoulders and took a sip of tea. "Don't worry, I'll take care of Mu You. You have to worry about something else."

"What's going on?" Gu Yue was stunned for a moment. What else?

"You have been conferred a title by the emperor, and you must go to the palace to thank him for his grace." Gu Xu looked at him and said.

"What?!" Gu Yue stood up suddenly.

He also wants to see the emperor? !

"Qin Zhaoyue and the emperor are in cahoots." Gu Yue scratched his hair irritably. "They may seem to be on the same page, but they are on the same page at critical moments. The matter of conferring a title on me this time is the result of their discussion."

"They want you to be exposed in front of people." Gu Xu said, "It shouldn't be just to... distort my plan."

"Could it be that we are too close?" Gu Yue propped his elbows on the table, looking worried. "I didn't hide anything about the things that happened in Yuning Mansion before, so it's normal for Qin Zhaoyue to notice me... Fortunately, Wen Qing and the Fifth Prince are not our enemies now, otherwise the difficulty would be raised several levels."

"It's my fault." Gu Xu lowered his eyes and admitted his mistake.

"How could that be? This happened because we had to change the plan at the last minute. I'm too afraid of death." Gu Yue said depressedly.

If he could learn martial arts, his legs would be fine and he wouldn't be so passive.

Seeing that Gu Xu was still unhappy, he patted Gu Xu on the shoulder and said, "It's really okay! It's no big deal. If it doesn't work, we can think of another way."

Only then did Gu Xu nod.

He said, "Mu You's matter still needs some arrangements. You just stay here and don't walk around. Wait for me to come back in the evening."

Gu Yue nodded repeatedly: "I understand."

"Don't worry about it even if someone threatens you. It's just a bookstore. I can compensate Zhen Suhang." Gu Xu said.

"Come on." Gu Yue laughed out loud: "You talk like some nouveau riche."

Seeing him smile, Gu Xu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He turned and left.

When they were about to reach the side door of the bookstore, Zhen Suhang and Shi San were coming back from outside.

Shi San looked unhappy. Seeing this, Gu Xu stepped forward and asked, "What did Qin Zhaoyue say?"

Zhen Suhang left quickly, he felt that this was not something he could get involved in.

"Threatened him." Shi San said, "Didn't he tell you?"

"What evidence did Qin Zhaoyue have on him? Can it be dealt with in advance?" Gu Xu said, "If you need manpower, feel free to transfer them from Wumen. I won't ask any questions."

"It's not his handle." Shi San said.

"What?" Gu Xu didn't understand for a moment.

"Yes, it's Gu Dashi's leverage." Shi San continued. "You already... know it, don't you?"

Gu Xu was silent.

Since it was just Gu Dashi's handle, why didn't the vixen say anything?

……

late at night.

Royal Villa.

"Sir, the witnesses the prince brought back from Ganzhou are temporarily staying here." The guard whispered, "Do you want to see your butler? He will be sent back to the mansion in a few days. Why rush?"

"Don't ask so many questions, just take me there!" Mu You scolded.

The guard was helpless.

He said, "I have sent away the other brother who was guarding the gate. When you go in, sir, please do not speak loudly, or it will attract people."

"I know my limits," said Mu You.

The two men followed the shadow of the wall, bypassed the hedge and grass, and arrived at the door of a courtyard.

There was a guard in front of the door. When he saw them coming, he waved.

"Sir, Mr. Mu lives in the room in the middle. The two of us will be on guard here. You better hurry." The guard said, "It will take at most an incense stick of time... The guards change very frequently here."

Mu You nodded and hurried into the yard.

Arriving at the door of the main house, Mu You pushed it open and went in.

Inside the house, Mu Dayou did not sleep, but walked back and forth in the room, looking very anxious. Seeing Mu You enter the room, he hurriedly went to meet him, knelt down on the ground, and cried: "General!"

"Hurry up and get up!" Mu You helped him up: "Xiao Shun, how are you?"

"Everything is fine with me, but our plan was discovered early on, so I had no choice but to fake my death and escape." Mu Dayou, that is, Yin Shun, cried with red eyes, "Fortunately, I hid our people in Pinghu Town in advance, so the general's foundation was not destroyed. I am the sinner!"

"Don't underestimate yourself." Mu You personally helped him to the table: "Has anyone figured out your identity?"

"General! There is a strange man beside Qin Zhaoyue, with a scarred face and a very tall stature. That man seems to have noticed something. I feel uneasy when I think of him." Yin Shun said anxiously: "He may have seen through my disguise, but maybe he has no evidence, so he has not made any move. General, you must pay attention to this man and kill him as soon as possible!"

"What is this person's name?" Mu You asked.

"His name is Gu Dashi." Yin Shun replied.

"So it was him..." Mu You's face was gloomy. He said, "You look thirsty, go drink some water."

Yin Shunlian said yes and turned to the table to pour water.

Mu You also came over.

He pulled out the dagger from his sleeve, raised it high, and stabbed it into Yin Shun's back!
