After training ended, all the boys dragged their tired bodies back to camp.

Xi Zhicai, on the other hand, was already waiting in the camp. Looking at the boys who looked like mud monkeys, he couldn't help but smile slightly.

Xu Rong walked over to Xi Zhicai first, "Minister Xi, why are you here so early today?"

"I've come on His Majesty's orders to take care of some business!"

Xi Zhicai then relayed Liu Hong's wish to transfer the two sons of the Zhen and Mi families to the tenth group to Xu Rong.

Xu Rong nodded and said, "Okay! No problem!"

So Xi Zhicai and Xu Rong stood there, watching groups of teenagers walk past them in neat rows.

"Good job, Vice Minister Xi!!"

All the boys who passed by Xi Zhicai greeted him, their eyes filled with respect.

Hello!

Xi Zhicai nodded warmly to everyone. When Zhen Yi and Mi Lan passed by him, Xi Zhicai called out to them.

"Zhen Yi, Mi Lan, come here for a moment!"

Upon hearing this, the two men, though puzzled, immediately stepped out of the queue and approached Xi Zhicai.

"Minister Xi, what do you need us for?"

Xi Zhicai looked at Xu Rong, who nodded in understanding. After all, this matter was an internal affair of the Imperial Guard, and Xi Zhicai was only responsible for educating them and had no right to interfere.

Xu Rong looked at Zhen Yi and Mi Lan, "Starting today, you've been transferred to the tenth group. You can move there during your break later!"

"promise!"

Watching the two figures depart, Xi Zhicai turned to Xu Rong and said with a smile, "Thank you for your trouble, Instructor Xu. I will now return to report to His Majesty!"

Xu Rong smiled and nodded, "You're too kind, Vice Minister Xi. Please give my regards to His Majesty!"

"Alright! Goodbye!"

After speaking, Xi Zhicai turned and left the Imperial Guard Camp. Xu Rong then sent someone to inform the Imperial Guards who were leading the 10th and 20th groups.

Inside the dormitory of the twentieth group, Zhen Yi and Mi Lan silently packed their belongings, while the others around them watched quietly, without anyone coming to help.

Although no one said anything openly, everyone still looked down on these two sons of merchants from the bottom of their hearts. From the moment they learned of their identities, no one had said a word to them.

The scene inside the dormitory of Group 10 was quite different. Chen Qian and Wang Nan, two trainees who had been transferred to Group 20, were also packing their belongings with reluctance.

Everyone knows that Group 20 is always at the bottom and can't escape punishment nine times out of ten. Their grades are above average in Group 10, so they shouldn't be transferred to Group 20, right?

Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and the other roommates also rushed forward to help tidy up.

After quickly tidying up, the two sat dejectedly on their beds, feeling reluctant to leave their brothers who shared the room with them.

Yuan Shao, standing to the side, sighed softly as he watched the two men leave. He was just as reluctant as his two brothers to part with him.

"My two brothers..."

Just as Yuan Shao was about to offer some words of comfort, the leader of the tenth group suddenly walked in. He frowned as he looked at the two people sitting on the bed and approached them.

"All packed up?"

Chen Qian and Wang Nan stood up and nodded.

"If you're all packed up, let's go!"

"Team leader, can we skip this?"

Chen Qian looked at his team leader with a reluctant expression, hoping to stay here, and Wang Nan next to him felt the same way.

The team leader frowned even more deeply, looked at the two of them, and said, "No, you have to go!"

"But there..."

"No buts!"

Wang Nan was about to say something when the team leader rudely interrupted him.

The team leader then looked at the two men with a cold expression, "I'll say it again, this is an order! You have no room for negotiation, you must obey!"

"promise!!"

When Chen Qian and Wang Nan heard "This is an order," their dejected expressions vanished instantly. They responded loudly, picked up their belongings, and headed outside.

From the first day they entered the Imperial Guard Camp, all the instructors emphasized the importance of orders to them, and obedience to orders was deeply engraved in their minds.

Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, the team leader spoke in a deep voice:

"Remember this: you are trainees of the Imperial Guard. His Majesty once said, 'The world is vast, and the men of Han can roam freely.' Today is merely a change of groups."

"In the future, you will all be going to the battlefield. You must always remember His Majesty's teachings, never forget your original aspirations, and forge ahead bravely. Do you understand?"

Upon hearing their team leader's words, Chen Qian and Wang Nan couldn't help but tremble. They turned around simultaneously to look at their team leader and former comrade, and said loudly in unison:

"Rest assured, team leader, we will certainly keep His Majesty's teachings in mind, remain true to our original aspirations, and forge ahead bravely!"

Yuan Shao stepped forward and looked at the two men sincerely, saying, "Brothers, wherever you go, remember that we were once brothers who lived under the same roof and crawled through mud together!"

"Don't worry, Benchu, we'll always be brothers. We'll always remember your help."

Chen Qian looked at Yuan Shao with a solemn expression, and Wang Nan beside him couldn't help but nod.

Yuan Shao couldn't help but reach out his right hand and punch Chen Qian in the chest, laughing as he said, "Ha~ It's just a change of groups, not a matter of life and death!"

Chen Qian and Wang Nan couldn't help but laugh.

Chen Qian looked at the group of people who came out of the dormitory to see them off, "Brothers, after we leave, we'll be rivals!"
