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

Chapter 292 Musket

Wu Feng thought for a moment and said, "There is one more thing."

"What?" Gu Yue came back to his senses.

"It's not a big deal...but Boss Gu, if you tell me anything is wrong, I can tell you, so I..."

"Tell me quickly, maybe there is a clue." Gu Yue said with a smile, "Don't underestimate yourself."

"That's right. I heard from the maids that Yin Shunhan speaks very well." Wu Feng said, "And he seems to have a servant boy by his side, who is said to have been brought from India."

"Servant? What does that man look like?" Gu Yue asked immediately.

"It just so happens that none of the maids had ever seen the boy's face, but the male servants who died in the next room often interacted with him."

"Has this person been found in the general's mansion?" Gu Yue became alert.

"No." Wu Feng said, "Among the dead guards, there was someone with Tianzhu's appearance, but there is no way to ask anymore."

"What about the other shops that were sealed?"

"No one came from India. Most of them were hired by locals. Only the bosses were involved in Yin Shun's case. But the bosses' backgrounds are clear and they are definitely not the servant next to Yin Shun."

Gu Yue thought for a while and asked, "What did Yin Bai say? Did you ask him about this servant?"

Wu Feng was stunned for a moment, then his face changed: "It was on the night when I learned about this servant that Yin Bai fell and fainted, and the matter was shelved..."

He had already understood: "That servant is still alive, and is very important...!"

Gu Yue smiled: "If it was just the fact that Yin Bai fell to his death in the toilet, there would be nothing strange about it. It seems that you still couldn't get all the information out of Yin Bai after five rounds of interrogation."

He asked Wu Feng: "Does anyone know what you are asking about this boy?"

"Only the maids. I even went to the cold room where the bodies were kept and saw that they were not hiding from anyone..."

"The guards don't know either?"

"I just passed by when the maids were washing clothes in the yard and chatted with them for a few words." Wu Feng recalled, "There were guards watching us, but they were very far away and should not have been able to hear us talking."

"Oh? The servants have been released?"

"We just let them move around in the yard." Wu Feng said, "It's inconvenient for women to use the toilet, and we can't keep them locked up all the time, so we allow them to move around in the yard. There are also people guarding the roof, so no thieves can come in."

Gu Yue touched his chin.

"When Gu Xu comes back, we'll go to the general's mansion to take a look." Gu Yue said.

……

Gu Xu took out the stack of letters from the drawer.

"Just as I expected, King Zuo will not give absolute trust to anyone." Turtan, who had changed into leather armor and was covered in blood, said while leaning against the pillar in the king's tent.

Gu Xu said: "He kept all the letters Mu You sent him."

The letter in his hand was old and yellowed. The first few letters were all private greetings and had little value. One of them was an appointment from Mu You to meet the King of Zuo, and the location was set at Ganjin tribe in Xidi.

The date is three years ago.

Later, he asked about the progress of the plan. Mu You was extremely cautious, and there was nothing in the letter related to the plan. The words were ambiguous, and if you look closely, it is difficult to prove it.

But the crime of treason could be charged against him if the emperor wanted to.

Gu Xu sealed all the letters and put them in his arms.

They had already plundered all the useful things in the king's tent. Gu Xu walked out of the king's tent, passed Wu Ge's body with his eyes wide open, and came to the gate of the left king's camp.

Tuertan stood in the king's tent without leaving, as if in a daze.

The middle-aged man at the door saw Gu Xu coming out and immediately knelt on one knee: "Master!"

"Are you Jackknife?" Gu Xu took out a handkerchief, poured some water on it to wet it, and wiped the blood off his eyelashes.

"That's right." Zhedao said, "In the past ten years, I have led my troops to train soldiers and develop firearms in the territory of Xidi without slacking off for a single day. This battle is a test of our achievements!"

Gu Xu looked at the bodies of the Xidi soldiers that were blown into pieces and asked: "What you have are called firearms?"

"Yes!" Zhadao immediately took off the iron object from his waist.

Gu Xu took it.

"Master, be careful. This thing has the risk of self-destruction." Folding Knife introduced, "Press this button and the gunpowder will spray out of this tube. After a delay, it will blow the person into pieces. Master has just seen its power."

As soon as he picked up the musket, Gu Xu inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity.

This feeling was fleeting. He carefully flipped through the pages and then asked, "Are there many cases of self-explosion? I saw many people with broken arms in the Chaozhen Army camp."

Folding Knife was embarrassed for a moment: "That was a brother who was injured during the improvement of the previous generations... The current generation of muskets rarely explode even after being used a hundred times."

"The drawback is that the range is too short and the accuracy is not very good." Gu Xu said, recalling the battle just now.

"As expected of you, my master!" Zhadao said enthusiastically, "The timing and distance of gunpowder explosion require long-term practice to master, so each brother has his own musket."

His eyes drifted to Gu Xu's hand: "Therefore... Master, you have to return it to me. If you want it, I will get a new one. This one won't work."

Gu Xu was speechless and returned the gun to him.

He now understood why those people in Bei Qin knew that Chao Zhen’s army wanted to win him over.

Turttan came over.

"Your thing is really powerful." He said, "This will be hard for you to explain when you go back."

"I have a way." Gu Xu shook his head.

Qin Zhaoyue's men were being dragged to the east of Mount Manshan and had not arrived yet.

Tuertan turned to his men and said, "Collect the bodies of our brothers."

He walked over himself and picked up Uger's head.

There was a flash of pity in his eyes, but he quickly suppressed it. Gu Xu naturally didn't miss it, and he asked, "Are you sad?"

"Of course." Turttan said, "Such a general is rare. Moreover, he is from my Xidi tribe."

He then smiled and said, "But I also know that this is how the power struggle works. If he and King Zuo don't die, someone else will hold my head in their hands. To make Xidi live a better life... I must first gain a firm foothold."

Gu Xu lowered his eyes, as if he had listened.

"Well, it's time for you to take these people back." Turttan said, "Thank you for this matter. If you need any help, please feel free to write to me."

"Did someone lend it to you?" Gu Xu asked.

"No need. My people have already taken action and are enough to subdue Sidi." Turttan said.

……

Ganjin tribe.

Turttan's cavalry surrounded the tribe, and the Sidi people living in the center looked terrified.

Baktu was forced to his knees in the king's tent.

General Dulu cursed: "You villain! When you were a slave, it was Lord Tuertan who gave you food. Now you have grown wings and want to harm Lord Tuertan. You even want to be the dog of the Left King. Bah!"

Dulu scolded him in Xidi dialect for a quarter of an hour without repeating himself.

Baktu trembled and dared not say a word.
