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

Zhen Suhang soon arrived at Lesongyuan.

His face was solemn and he looked a little tired, obviously he was overwhelmed by the news of the emperor's unexpected death. This kind of shocking news was the first time even for him, a senior veteran in the journalism industry, had seen it.

Seeing Gu Xu sitting in front of him, Zhen Suhang was startled at first, but then he remembered that the previous matter had already been revealed, and finally he bit the bullet and made a joke.

"It's a mess outside, but you're still so leisurely." Zhen Suhang said.

Gu Xu said: "I'm sick, so I need to rest well."

Zhen Suhang finally relaxed a little: "There is nothing important here this time. First of all, congratulations, your great revenge has been achieved, and the biggest obstacle in the future has been removed."

"Thank you." Gu Xu smiled.

In his previous life, he was a good friend of Zhen Suhang, and he knew his temperament and knew that he had no bad intentions. Therefore, he was relieved that Gu Yue was on good terms with him.

Gu Xu thought that in his previous life, Zhen Suhang had chosen the wrong person. He was still struggling with his past until his death, and Qin Zhaoyue would certainly not let go of this person who held many secrets.

Zhen Suhang said: "Second, I want to ask you, is there anything else you need me to do? Hangdou Bookstore has your financial support, and it is now thriving. It is time for me to repay you."

And there was the matter of Boss Gu. If he had been more careful at the time and sent someone to Wumen to inquire about the situation, perhaps Boss Gu would not have ended up like this.

He didn't say this out loud, because he knew Gu Xu had been sad for too long.

Gu Xu said: "What you need to do next is to protect yourself."

"What?!" Zhen Suhang was stunned. "This... Now is the time for power transition, and we need huge public support. How can I just stand by and watch?"

"This is a huge matter," Gu Xu said. "After all, you don't have a strong background... In order to maintain the authority of the bookstore, you rejected many officials' solicitations. This is a fact."

Zhen Suhang was silent for a moment.

Indeed, he was reincarnated and had lived in Northern Qin for many years. He had long recognized the difference between this place and modern society. If he didn't have a background... No, even in modern society, it would be difficult to make such a big business without someone supporting him.

Gu Xu said: "The situation is chaotic now, and I have no time to take care of the safety of the bookstore. If someone attacks you at this time, it will be very dangerous. The same is true for the people in the court. If you restrain yourself, they will not take advantage of the chaos to attack the bookstore. But if they jump up and down at this time..."

Zhen Suhang sighed and said, "You are right. That is exactly the case. I appreciate your kindness and I will not say anything to shirk my responsibility... I feel guilty towards the Duke of Dunxin's Mansion. I will sacrifice my life for it, but I still have many subordinates in the book office. I cannot drag them down with me."

"That's the best." Gu Xu smiled.

"Haha, that's right... If something happens to the bookstore, you can't just abandon me. If it delays something important, I'll be so ashamed that I'll die." Zhen Suhang said with a relaxed look.

Gu Xu looked at him and didn't answer for a moment.

He saw that Zhen Suhang still had something to say.

Sure enough, Zhen Suhang hesitated for a while, then continued: "Well... Although the affairs of the palace are not known to ordinary people, it has been spread among officials that it was Crown Princess Jingsang who assassinated the late emperor."

Gu Xu smiled and said, "That's right. The entire Jing family has been imprisoned this morning. After Jing Sang assassinated the late emperor, he fled the imperial city and his whereabouts are unknown now."

It was a premeditated act, so why did they need to make such a big fuss? Jing Shi had not heard of the incident at all, and was captured by the imperial guards, who confiscated the tiger talisman and put him in the Heavenly Prison.

The biggest threat was solved so easily and simply.

Zhen Suhang obviously didn't come here to inquire about this.

He hesitated for a long time and said, "I just walked along and saw the courtyard decorated with lanterns and red silk everywhere. I knew you were going to marry the second daughter of the Jing family, but now..."

Jing Yu has been imprisoned with his family, so how can they still be related to each other like Gu Xu?

Zhen Suhang even saw people in the mansion still pasting wedding characters.

Gu Xu said calmly: "What?"

Zhen Suhang was confused when he saw his reaction: "Well, the second young lady of the Jing family is in the prison. But the wedding is scheduled for two days later. She will definitely not be released by then. What...what kind of marriage are you getting?"

Gu Xu looked at him.

Zhen Suhang felt a chill on his back.

Originally, after he heard that Gu Xu was going to get married, he felt sad for Gu Yue and thought it was not worth it. He even decided to be just an ordinary partner with Gu Xu, who forgot about his old friends in a blink of an eye, and not to confide in him... Occasionally, he even wondered if his CP radar was broken.

But when the incident of Jing's assassination of the emperor happened a few days ago, he immediately understood everything!

That's it!

As expected of the male lead, Zhen Suhang was very happy and thought that Gu Yue’s soul in heaven could rest in peace. But when he came here today, he saw such a scene.

The more Zhen Suhang thought about it, the more frightened he felt.

Could it be that Gu Xu was alive and well, but he was going to arrange a ghost marriage for himself?

But I see that all these decorations and rituals are only used for weddings of living people?

Zhen Suhang broke out in a cold sweat.

He looked at Gu Xu who was sitting in the main seat. Gu Xu seemed to be thinking about something, then he raised his eyes and gave Zhen Suhang a look that was a little creepy.

"You came just in time."

In Zhen Suhang's eyes, Gu Xu's smile was spooky.

"There is something I need your help with. Listen to me..."

……

It has been several days since Gu Yue returned to the Luoyang Marquis' Mansion.

Gu Xu had not appeared in front of him these days. Naturally, news from the outside world would not be passed into this courtyard, so everything seemed calm.

But he vaguely felt that it was not as simple as it seemed.

The arrangements for the wedding in the mansion of Marquis Dunxin were still progressing slowly. The things in the side rooms were not just for show, but were actually being used for decoration or sent to the kitchen one by one.

Gu Yue even saw Gu Xu's wedding dress.

Bei Qin's wedding dress was not pure red, but mainly black, with a bright red collar with gold thread, and the hem seemed to have dark patterns. But he didn't see it too clearly, the dress just flashed in Wu Yan's hand and was put into the bright red lacquer box.

He wanted to calm down for a while, but he became more and more anxious as he sat in the room.

He walked out and looked towards the gate of the courtyard. The guard guarding him was still standing steadily.

There seemed to be someone moving around outside.

Gu Yue paced into the courtyard, still pondering over everything that had happened in Liuli Town in the past two days.

A human voice suddenly sounded.

"Odd changes to even."

? ! ! !

Gu Yue turned around suddenly, his face full of shock.

"Who?!" He moved towards the source of the sound, bypassing the small rockery, but saw no one.

Damn it!

A deep fear rose in Gu Yue's heart.

Was he hallucinating?

He rubbed his face vigorously, trying to wake himself up.

……

Outside the courtyard wall, Zhen Suhang fled in panic.
