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

Wu Huo stepped forward, the short knife in his sleeve slid out to meet Shi San's hands that were pressing down, and a heavy sound was made.

The dental shop manager was terrified.

Shi San failed to hit him and quickly retreated, but suddenly changed his angle and attacked from behind Wu Huo. Almost subconsciously, Gu Yue blocked Gu Xu behind him, and before he could see clearly what weapon Shi San had in his hand, Wu Huo's short knife blocked it. With a clang, Shi San was pushed back two steps and half-knelt on the ground.

The murderous aura disappeared.

No one was bleedin', Wu Huo fought with the back of his knife. Shi San's clenched fist loosened, revealing a palm-sized stone in his palm. The stone rolled to the ground and broke into two neat halves.

"You, you, you naughty slave, what are you going to do!" The brothel manager was so frightened that his voice changed, but he didn't dare to whip him with the whip on his waist.

"... Qie, cao." Shi San spoke word by word, as if he was not familiar with Chinese.

"Why don't you say something! I was scared to death..." The manager's legs went limp and he held onto the table next to him to avoid falling down.

In those short five seconds, he even imagined the scene of himself being taken to prison to answer his funeral arrangements and being executed in the autumn.

"It's indeed very strong." Wu Huo gave a fair evaluation.

Shi San squatted there motionless again.

The first thing that came to Gu Yue’s mind was not “I have found a treasure”, but “Is this person a conspiracy left by someone?”

He looked at Gu Xu first. Gu Xu didn't say anything, but he felt his gaze and still cast a puzzled look at him from under his hat.

"What do you think, Xiao Xu?" Gu Yue asked for help from the male lead's aura off the court.

Gu Xu observed Shi San.

Ordinary people, nothing special.

Gu Yue simply pulled Wu Huo and Gu Xu aside and started muttering, "Don't you think it's strange that there's suddenly a person with great martial arts skills in the pawnbroker? What if it's some conspiracy?"

"Who would plot against us?" Wu Huo asked.

Gu Yue was silent.

That's right, Gu Xu is still in the dark, and only King Yin knows his identity, and the Crown Prince also seems to know it. But one of them wants to win over Gu Xu, and the other is Gu Xu's future solid brother and ally, so it doesn't make sense to arrange someone here to infiltrate them?

Moreover, buying people to strengthen his staff was a temporary decision made by Gu Yue. Who would have foreseen and inserted people here in advance, and coincidentally inserted people into the dental clinic that Gu Yue would ask about?

Unless Gu Yue himself is a character in a novel, and some time traveler happened to see the novel with him as the protagonist on the male channel, and then woke up and traveled through time to become Gu Xu's enemy...

No nesting dolls allowed!

That's ridiculous. Gu Yue laughed dryly, but he still had to be cautious. He returned to Shi San and the dental manager who was scolding Shi San.

"What is his origin?" Gu Yue asked.

This question is crucial. This pawn shop is government-run, and the origins of every slave must be clear. If the manager cannot clearly explain Shi San's origins, then there will be big problems.

"Oh, sir, this Shi San is a prisoner captured by General Jing when he conquered Elan City a few years ago. He is the descendant of Western Hu people and Han people. Judging from his appearance, he has some Western Hu blood." The pawnbroker introduced, "The court assigned these people to various pawnbrokers, and Shi San was one of them."

Ah? Prisoners? Gu Yue didn't understand. The Western Hu captives must hate the Northern Qin people. Is it really okay to send these people to various places in Northern Qin as slaves?

He thought so and asked so.

The manager of the pawnbroker laughed, "Sir, you really don't know anything about this. Of course, they were not captured directly by General Jing, but obtained through exchange. Most of the captives sent by the Western Hu are civilians of Elan City, mostly Han and mixed-blood, so they will naturally not cause trouble."

Even if there were any, they would be easily discovered and killed. How could the feudal slave management system of so many years not be able to suppress these people? Then the system would have collapsed sooner or later and would not have survived until now.

Shi San squatted quietly, not saying a word.

The steward opened his front and showed Gu Yue the slave brand on Shi San's chest. This brand was only found on captured slaves.

Gu Yue nodded.

He looked at Gu Xu and Wu Huo again. Neither of them said anything wrong, so Gu Yue felt relieved. There shouldn't be a bad guy who can't even detect the protagonist's aura, right? Even if there is, he wouldn't be placed next to him, a cannon fodder, but assigned to Gu Xu.

Gu Yue then said, "Is he the only one who knows Kung Fu?"

The manager of the dental shop saw that he was excited and immediately said, "Yes, sir, this kind of person who speaks little and has great martial arts skills is in great demand. You never know when he will be sold out."

Gu Yue looked satisfied: "How much is he?"

"One hundred taels of silver." The pawnbroker manager asked for a huge sum.

"Let's go." Gu Yue turned around and left without showing any reluctance.

"Hey, hey, hey - wait a minute, sir, what do you want?" the steward called him hurriedly.

Gu Yue smiled. He still wanted a hundred taels of silver for such a person who couldn't be sold? He had been a slave in Northern Qin a few years ago, and he was still in the hands of the pawnbroker, which meant that he was not easy to sell.

This is someone who can fight with the Wumen secret guards!

"You still want a hundred taels for such a mute? Ten taels at most." Gu Yue bargained very hard.

"Ten taels!" The steward glared. "The older ones here want twenty taels! He's not dumb, he just doesn't speak Mandarin well... but he's good at martial arts!"

"You can't speak, and I guess you can't even read. You can only look at the gate. I'll just ask for an ordinary one if I go to other places." Gu Yue's face was full of disgust.

"Here, here... eighty taels, no less." The steward said, "A mute is good, because a mute will not spread the news randomly, and he cannot read..."

"Manager, I chose you because you look nice. Look over there." Gu Yue pulled him to the other end of the street. Other managers of pawnbrokers were looking around. "I need someone today. I believe I can find someone who suits my taste and is not expensive on this street. Don't you agree?"

The steward hesitated, which was true.

"How about this, I'll add another ten or twenty taels of silver." Gu Yue stretched out two fingers.

"Too little! It should be at least seventy..." The manager was not giving up.

"This Shi San doesn't look like an honest man, and his martial arts are so high. What if he runs away? I will take the risk." Gu Yue was in a dilemma.

"Sixty-five, one price!" The manager counted to six.

"You are being disrespectful." Gu Yue patted his shoulder. "I am too lazy to bargain. The most I will offer for this person is thirty taels of silver. This is also because of your decent kung fu and your friendly appearance."

"It's too low. No, no..." The manager shook his head repeatedly.

"Okay then, goodbye." Gu Yue let him go decisively.

Gu Xu and Wu Huo also nodded to the manager, and the three of them walked towards other pawnshops.

The managers of the dental clinic over there have already made diligent preparations.

The steward yelled, "Slow down!"
