From the moment the woman showed her arm, Gu Yuzhi's eyes were covered by Guard Qi. He tried to pry it off but couldn't, and said indignantly, "Guard Qi, Guard Qi, why are you covering my eyes?"

That's really strange!

What kind of things are adults allowed to watch but we kids aren't?

After the door closed again, Guard Qi released his grip, smiling awkwardly without saying a word.

Instead, General Lu said in a low voice, "The woman who came out just now wasn't very good-looking, which is why Guard Qi didn't want you to see her."

He looked at General Lu with puffed-out cheeks, feeling that General Lu was trying to fool him.

Gu Yuzhi found it even stranger, but not only General Lu said so, but Guard Qi, Prefect Ke, and the other guards also nodded firmly, so he reluctantly said, "Okay, okay."

He made a shushing gesture: "Let's all keep our voices down and wait here patiently for that person to appear."

Gu Yuzhi looked up at the sky, calculating the time. He should wait a little longer before that person came out.

One guard dutifully peeked through the crack in the door, while the others stood nearby, chatting idly.

Suddenly, the guards on duty let out a bird's cry, and Gu Yuzhi and the others all looked over.

He had the shortest legs, but he ran the fastest. He peered through the crack in the door, muttering to himself, "Is it that person? Is it that person?"

General Lu gave a soft "hmm".

The man they were watching took down the sign the woman had hung up and raised his hand to ring the bell on the door.

The next second, a sack fell from the sky, and before he could even struggle or scream, he passed out.

The guard carried the man quickly into the house across the street, and threw him down without any politeness, making a dull thud and kicking up a cloud of dust.

Gu Yuzhi's calves thrashed about very quickly, and he hurriedly took several steps back, tilting his head and spitting out a few harsh swear words.

After the dust settled, Gu Yuzhi noticed that the person was still motionless. He jogged over and poked him hard, exclaiming in alarm, "Guard Qi, Guard Qi, this person didn't fall to their death, did they?"

He's a soldier, doesn't he? Does he train properly? He died from a fall?

He turned to look at General Lu, his face innocent: "General Lu, General Lu, we didn't really lay a hand on him, we just gave him a little thud. Who knew he was so fragile?"

It's not made of porcelain!

Shu Xiaohan nodded heavily: "This is a staged accident! A staged accident with your life on the line! Could it be that the King of Chu's men discovered that the young prince was going to make a move against them, so they specially found a scapegoat to drag General Lu down with them?"

Shu Xiaohan felt that she had spent a lot of time with the young prince and had been exposed to many of Xie Changshi's schemes. Her mind, which had always only known scientific research, had even started to understand conspiracy theories!

She raised an eyebrow at Manager Wen, the meaning was simple: See how much I've grown?

Gu Yuzhi was dumbfounded.

Is it that serious?

Manager Wen frowned and looked at them: "Your Highness, I think this person isn't dead..."

Before he could finish speaking, Guard Qi stepped forward and patiently explained, "The houses in this alley are all very small. If we were to fight on the street, this person would probably attract everyone around before we even started. So I used acupressure to put him to sleep."

So this person is sleeping!

Gu Yuzhi snorted twice and kicked the sack with her little foot, clearly in a bad mood.

Manager Wen glanced at Shu Xiaohan, whose smug expression was frozen on her face, and gave a forced laugh.

If you're going to make a guess, at least make it a little more reasonable, right?

One dares to speak, and the other dares to believe!

Shu Xiaohan knew she was in the wrong, so she lowered her head and remained silent.

She had previously thought that if the next host was in a palace intrigue or domestic power struggle, she could help the host survive to the end.

Now that I think about it, I shouldn't force myself to learn things I'm not good at...

Gu Yuzhi, oblivious to Shu Xiaohan's resentment, kicked the person lightly with her little foot: "So, are we going to wait for this person to wake up?"

If he sleeps for one night, they'll wait for one night?

That's such a bad deal!

Without saying much, Guard Qi first stuffed a rag into the man's mouth, then covered it with a burlap sack, and finally released the pressure points.

The man groggily woke up, only to find his body restrained and in excruciating pain.

He was about to open his mouth to speak when he realized that something was stuffed in his mouth.

The man suddenly opened his eyes, but could not see anything clearly.

Before he could think any further, the pain from the wooden stick striking his body suddenly returned. His eyes widened in horror, and he instinctively raised his hand to remove the rag, but in the next instant, the wooden stick fell from all directions.

All his reason was shattered by the relentless falling wooden sticks. He had only one feeling: pain, pain all over his body!

He wasn't sure if he was stunned by the beating, but sometimes he even felt a tiny foot kicking him.

Only after the man stopped reacting did I lift the sack off his body, check his pulse, reapply the acupressure points, and then toss him aside.

As for the burlap sack, it can be reused, making it much more useful than this person.

Gu Yuzhi was being held in General Lu's arms at this moment, peeking out. When he saw someone coming, he quickly patted General Lu's chest and asked, "Is this person... is this person?"

His cheeks were flushed, and he was in a state of great excitement.

So this is what it's like to secretly beat someone up behind their back. No wonder Guard Qi couldn't help but agree after he mentioned it last time.

He covered his mouth and chuckled.

General Lu said that according to the rest day schedule, there were still a few people who made things difficult for Guard Zhang in the tent that day, and they would be there the day after tomorrow.

If Chief Secretary Xie hadn't discovered it, the day after tomorrow...

He did some quick thinking. He was going to compete with other businesses for the mine the day after tomorrow morning. If he went out to beat someone up again that night, what excuse would he have to come up with?

Just as Gu Yuzhi was scratching his head, wondering what to do, General Lu suddenly said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, they've arrived. It's that person."

He craned his neck to look outside and saw that this person did the same thing as the previous person, taking down the sign hanging in front of the door.

Gu Yuzhi whispered, "General Lu, General Lu, what's the purpose of those signs they're taking? Why is everyone coming to take them?"

Before General Lu could answer, Gu Yuzhi asked in a small voice, "Could it be that they can't find their own homes?"

They're not little kids. They can't even find their way home after coming back once a month. These people are really stupid!

Gu Yuzhi pouted and complained, not noticing General Lu's relieved expression.

The next moment, Guard Qi carried the man in as well. After beating him half to death again, Guard Qi and General Lu each threw the two men out.

With two loud thuds, Gu Yuzhi, who was waiting in the house, clapped his hands: "All done!"
