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

"She can't unlock the technique." Fu Dao said, "I can't go into detail about the specific reasons."

Gu Yue nodded.

He asked Gu Xu: "Xiao Xu, what do you think?"

Gu Xu held a piece of dry branch in his hand. He thought for a while and threw the branch into the fire.

He asked, "What was Su Huaiyue's plan back then?"

Fu Dao said, "We never open our master's letters on the road, so we don't know the specific plan."

"Are you sure that she sent a letter back to the Su family asking for help instead of asking them not to interfere? Are you sure that she only asked you to go back to deliver the letter?" Gu Xu asked again.

"As for the former, I am sure. I have seen the plan written by the master, which mentions the Su family. It definitely does not ask them to stand idly by." Fu Dao said, "As for the latter, I am sure. Why do you have this question?"

"Look at this." Gu Xu took out two letters from his arms.

Gu Yue knew about these two letters. Gu Xu showed them to him on the way from Su's house to Gujia Village. The contents were indeed one for dissuasion and one for help.

After reading the two letters, Fu Dao's face turned gloomy.

"How about the letter you brought?" Gu Xu asked.

"No." Fu Dao said, "Although the handwriting is flawless, I remember clearly that the master only wrote one letter, and he used the local gold-sprinkled thick Xuan paper in Yunxi, not this white deer paper. Moreover, the content of that letter was very rich, and it was definitely not so few."

The letter in his hand was only half a page of regular script.

"The Su family... is very good, very good." Fu Dao closed his eyes tightly.

"You delivered the letter to the Su family?" Gu Yue asked, "Is there a possibility that it was replaced by someone else?"

"Impossible." Fu Dao said, "I am from Shen Dao Peak. I successfully met Su Muying that day, handed him the letter in person, and watched him open it with my own eyes."

Gu Yue felt heavy in his heart.

Wuhuo and Wufeng were also silent; they just listened quietly.

"Only Su Muying?"

"Only him." Fu Dao said.

Gu Xu's face was very cold. He asked, "Next question, do you have any impression of the jade plaque with the word Gu engraved on it?"

"The jade token you mentioned... I gave it to Gu Mengliu." Fu Dao said, "I wanted to use it as proof so that you could take back Wumen and Chaozhen Army with the jade token, and then avenge your master. But..."

but what?

"But, the master said in his third letter that he does not want you to be bound by hatred." Fu Dao said, "If you are just a commoner until you come of age, this hatred will never be imposed on you."

"Now it seems that the master did not get what he wanted after all." Fu Dao sighed.

Gu Yue asked: "Since you have seen Su Huaiyue's life in the Su family, how is she doing? How do her brothers treat her? Are they really as good as the rumors say?"

Fu Dao was stunned for a moment when he heard this.

"According to the world's perspective... it's naturally very good." Fu Dao said, "The master has never had to worry about food and clothing since she was a child, and the mansion has never lacked her for anything. We can also invite famous masters to teach the master reading, calligraphy, music and embroidery."

"Worldly perspective?" Gu Yue keenly noticed something.

"The master prefers policy essays, horse riding and other things that men like. Although the Su family did not oppose it openly, they did not seem to be very supportive." Fu Dao said, "There has never been a major conflict."

Gu Yue seemed to be thinking about something.

Gu Xu looked at him.

Fu Dao's gaze remained fixed on Gu Yue for a long time, and he asked, "Who are you?"

"You don't know me? I am Gu Mengliu's younger brother, Gu Dashi, and also Xiao Xu's adoptive father." Gu Yue came back to his senses and answered with a smile.

Gu Xu did not nod in agreement, but turned his face away.

"Really?" Fu Dao frowned, "There is no trace of Gu Mengliu at all."

"We don't look alike." Gu Yue said awkwardly.

Gu Xu asked: "You have been investigating for so many years, have you found anything?"

Fu Dao sighed.

"To be honest, I'm good at fighting, but I'm lacking in brainpower to investigate this matter," he said, "but if there's anything fishy, ​​there is."

The firelight flickered and swayed, and a light breeze blew snowflakes through the woods.

"Just half a year before Prince Shen's rebellion, someone came to Prince Shen's mansion."

Fu Dao said slowly.

Outsiders rarely come in and out of the Prince Shen's mansion. The entire mansion is not very large, and the servants inside are all family sons from the generation of the old Prince Shen. They know each other well and are considered relatives. Therefore, this person who suddenly came to the Prince Shen's mansion was particularly eye-catching.

This person was someone that the King of Shen met when he was out riding and fishing. This person claimed that he was traveling around the world, taking in all the scenery, and that he met the King of Shen when he passed by Yunxi. He and the King of Shen hit it off right away, and he moved into the King of Shen's mansion, and he and the King of Shen and his family of three played in Huangshan Mountain every day, and they were really happy.

Fu Dao didn't take this man seriously at first. After all, he was free and easy, didn't follow the rules, was very nice to everyone, and even had some outspokenness. And there were no flaws in the background and hometown he reported, so the Prince Shen's Mansion quickly accepted him.

"A month before the case of Prince Shen, the master suddenly began to investigate the servants in the mansion, and this man named You Meng was the first person to be suspected." Fu Dao said, "But the people of Wumen investigated for a long time and secretly observed his movements, but they did not gain anything."

"But Gu Shen and the master became alert... because at that time, it was You Meng who proposed to take you away to avoid the limelight." Fu Dao said, "He wanted to take you away on the pretext that he was a guest of Prince Shen's Mansion, but the master did not trust him, so he asked my wife and I to leave early and quietly leave Yunxi."

"After returning to Yunxi, I secretly counted the bodies of the servants of Prince Shen's Mansion that were placed in the Yunxi County Government's charity cemetery, but did not find this person." Fu Dao said.

"Does this person...have any characteristics?" Gu Yue asked, "For example, is there any tattoo on his hand?"

"I haven't noticed this before." Fu Dao said.

Gu Yue thought, if there really was something wrong with this person, then there was a high possibility that he was related to the royal family.

And judging from his behavior, this person's target should be Gu Xu.

He looked towards Fu Dao.

It’s not that I’m suspicious, but there are so many mysteries right now, so it’s better to be cautious.

"What's the matter with the scar on your face?" Gu Yue asked.

"After I left Yunxi, I found someone was secretly following me." Fu Dao said, "Later, those people gradually became bolder. I experienced several waves of siege and had no choice but to destroy my own appearance and hide in the mountains for a while. Only then did I get rid of them."

"So what are your plans for the future?" Gu Yue asked.

Fu Dao said: "I am not fit to show myself in public in this state, so I will just quietly protect you from behind."

He looked at Gu Yue: "Xiao Xu said that you are not the prince's man, so I believe him. I hope you... don't do anything disappointing."

"He won't." Gu Xu said lightly.
