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

He Gui described that when this man was just rescued from prison, he was so grateful that he regarded Shi San as his reborn parent. But when they arrived at the secret temple, this bastard showed his true colors and wanted to start with He Gui and rob all their silver.

"This guy is really courting death." He Gui said, "When I brought him out, didn't he see Shi San's kung fu? Even so, he still has the evil intention to perish."

"He wasn't killed, was he?" Gu Yue asked.

"No." He Gui said, "I have removed my limbs and jaw and tied them to the small temple. I also left some food, enough to last for two days."

Gu Yue was very satisfied that things went so smoothly.

Although the coroner's skills in Beiqin were not as good as those of modern forensic doctors, they could still tell the difference between a body that had died a few days ago and one that had just died. As for other minor scratches, pre-mortem and post-mortem injuries, fingerprints, and messy on-site investigations, he didn't believe that a detective could be found in a small place like Yi County.

Moreover, Gu Xu saw that the dead person was not Gu Dashi, and he would also try to obstruct their investigation.

Gu Yue felt nervous.

He pressed his chest and took a deep breath.

He Gui said: "Boss, it's not too late to regret now."

Gu Yue shook his head: "It will be fine."

Suddenly, a burst of roosters crowed outside the courtyard. The enthusiastic secret guard under Wu Huo came in from the courtyard gate, holding a chicken coop in his hand, with three lively little roosters in it.

"You're back!" The secret guard greeted him, and then said to Gu Yue, "Boss Gu, here are the live chicken and soft leather water bag you requested."

He put the things on the ground.

"Thank you, you've worked hard." Gu Yue smiled at him.

"By the way." The secret guard did not leave. "Boss Gu, please check the yard carefully to see if anything is missing." said the secret guard.

"What's wrong?" Gu Yue was stunned.

"This morning, the servant in the laundry room said that he was attacked a few days ago and was unconscious for several days." The secret guard said solemnly, "But the fellow who lived with him said that he was fine. Leader Wuhuo guessed that someone disguised himself as this servant and did something in the base."

"Did no one notice during this time?" Gu Yue asked.

The secret guard said: "This person's target is very tricky. The servants in the laundry room are not even from Wumen, but just waiters in the inn. None of them know martial arts. This person will deliberately avoid our brothers when he is active, so no one will notice him."

"Have you found any clues?" Gu Yue frowned.

"We have already checked and found nothing wrong. However, for safety reasons, we have to change our base and move the important things out tonight." The secret guard said, "Boss Gu, please check the things in your room. This person seems to have visited every courtyard where people live while delivering hot water."

Before he left, he said, "If you have any clues, please tell Chief Wuhuo immediately."

Gu Yue nodded and immediately entered the room.

He first sorted out the things he brought with him in his mind - the clothes and luggage were still in the hands of the Hidden Dragon Guards. There was nothing important in them, so they did not take them when they fled. The two important clues found in the Prince Shen's Mansion had been sent to Gu Xu.

Gu Yue touched the ring on his hand. This was a token given to him by Gu Xu, which could be used to withdraw money from banks in various places as capital. He always wore it on his hand and never took it off even when taking a bath.

The entire plan of faking death and escaping was never written down, for fear that it would be discovered in advance by the people of Wumen; all kinds of suspicions about the Su family were also in the budding stage in his mind, and there was nothing good to be taken away.

Gu Yue searched around but didn't find anything missing.

I asked Shi San and others again, and they had already checked their luggage and found nothing.

The uneasiness in his heart still did not disappear.

……

Huaizhong Prefecture.

It was late at night. Wuyan squatted on a big rock outside the cave, looking at the path down the mountain in the moonlight.

On the path, a man was running towards the mountain.

The six of them basically grew up together in Wumen and were very familiar with each other. Wu Yan recognized the figure as Wu Feng, so he stood up and walked into the cave.

Gu Xu looked a little tired. He was holding a handwritten scroll, but his eyes were looking at the letter in his other hand. The handwriting on it was crooked and missing some parts.

Gu Xu could almost imagine the look on Gu Yue's face when he said these words.

"We'll see each other soon! I have a little thing to do in Yunxi, and I'll be able to see you soon." Gu Yue said in the letter: "Ten days at most."

Wu Yan deliberately stepped heavily to make some noise to remind Gu Xu.

Gu Xu looked up at him.

"Master, Wu Feng is back." Wu Yan said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Feng, dressed in black, appeared at the entrance of the cave.

"A major discovery!" Wu Feng said without any politeness, and his usual smile disappeared: "The location mentioned in the Feijian letter is likely to be one of the bases of Lingfeng Pavilion."

Gu Xu's expression changed: "How can we be sure?"

"This manor is doing spice business externally." Wu Feng said, "Of course, it is openly operating as an ordinary spice shop. I tracked their carts transporting spices and arrived at a heavily guarded garden."

Gu Xu raised his hand and threw him a water bag.

Wu Feng unscrewed the lid and took two sips, then hurriedly said, "This garden is heavily guarded, and I couldn't find a way in. But people come in and out very frequently, and I noticed that they don't need any tokens to enter and exit, but instead shake hands... I quickly figured out that they might be confirming the tattoos on their hands."

"Do they have tattoos?" Gu Xu asked.

"Yes, I noticed it. It's the tattoo of Lingfeng Pavilion." Wufeng said, "Also, that spice farm is actually related to King Yin."

Gu Xu frowned: "It seems that they have united."

Wu Yan said: "Wen Qing actually told us such important news, what does he mean?"

Wu Feng stroked his chin and said, "They are secretive and have set up layers of arrangements. If we hadn't started from this middle point, no one would have discovered that there is a Lingfeng Pavilion base in Huaizhong Prefecture, nor would they have known that they are related to King Yin."

"Could it be that the person behind Wen Qing is King Yin? But it doesn't seem like it..." Wu Yan said.

Gu Xu said: "It can't be King Yin."

"Why?" Wu Feng asked.

"If Wen Qing, Lingfeng Pavilion and King Yin were on the same line from the beginning, then the two forces of fake Wen Qing and King Yin would not have appeared at the same time in the woods that day." Gu Xu said.

"Is it impossible to be a hero and save the boss to gain some favor?" Wu Feng asked.

"Not likely." Gu Xu said, "If you want to pretend to save someone, it would be best to show up at the most dangerous time. The fake Wen Qing shouldn't have just fled without doing anything. This doesn't reflect the role of King Yin."

"From the very beginning..." Wu Yan was still thinking about Gu Xu's words, "What does the master mean?"

"It wasn't a first-tier city before, but that may not be the case now," said Gu Xu.
