Chapter 104 Team Disagreement
"They're back! The Qingping Palace family is finally back safely!"
"Alas, looking at his miserable appearance, this forest is indeed full of dangers. The officers really don't take human life seriously..."
The other members of the exile team were relieved that the Prince Qingping's Mansion had returned in good order, and they began to whisper to criticize the officials for bullying others by abusing their power.
After all, Wen Chengyun, Wen Liyu, and Wen Chengming were all descendants of the Emperor, and the Imperial Noble Consort was his bedmate. Looking at the entire exile group, this configuration was already the most powerful of the powerful. Wen Chengyun was also a martial artist. If this family were to perish, one could imagine how difficult their remaining days would be.
"Just come back safe and sound..."
Wang Gang walked towards him with a worried look on his face, and there was a deep fear in his eyes.
Although it was not convenient for him to do it himself, as the leader, he was still responsible for welcoming brothers such as Chen Er and Li Kui back. As a result, when they came back, there was a bloody man, a pig-headed San, and two unconscious. It was enough to imagine how bad the scene was.
"Looking for water is something you should do yourself in the future, officer. We are not as agile as you men. We are lucky to be back this time..."
Cheng Weiyao collected the full water bags in her hands and piled them in front of Wang Gang. Her voice was loud enough to attract everyone's attention.
The officers have already made the fatal move, so there is no need for the Qingping Palace to continue to pretend to be submissive. The tit-for-tat situation cannot be ignored by the officers just by covering their faces with black cloth.
"You're right. I was indeed inconsiderate. Thank you all for your hard work. After a few adjustments, we'll be on our way again..."
Wang Gang, completely unmoved by Cheng Weiyao's rebuke, instead agreed with a smile. As expected, a head-on confrontation wouldn't work; he had to find another way out. The exile area was still a mountain away, so at worst, he could just start over with his brothers...
Wang Gang had a good attitude, and Cheng Weiyao also knew when to stop. Hunting in the dense forest was like a turbulent wave in the dark, and the other people in the exile team were unaware of it. She also didn't want the rest of the journey to cause panic, so she had to give up.
Wen Chengming was completely grimy, so Wen Chengyun took him to find a place to wash up. Wen Liyu, on the other hand, immediately changed into dry clothes upon returning to her resting place, freshened up her makeup, and returned to her tsundere princess self. She sat awkwardly next to Cheng Weiyao, hesitating on how to start.
The white whip was still wrapped around her slender waist. She had a slender figure and her clothes were mostly light-colored, so it looked like a belt and was not obvious.
"The whip suits you well. Keep it for self-defense. The same goes for your mother. Women should always be careful when they go out. Always be on guard against others."
Cheng Weiyao spoke first with a smile. After all, she was a restaurant businessman in modern times, so she did have some vision.
In fact, no matter whether it is the long needle or the soft whip, since I gave them to my family, I have no intention of taking them back. Anyway, they will just gather dust in the warehouse of QQ Farm, so it is better to make full use of them.
“Thank you, sister-in-law!”
Wen Liyu's eyes lit up and the corners of her mouth curled up immediately. She liked Cheng Weiyao's straightforward personality. She used to think she was rude and lacked the tactfulness of a girl, but now she liked her more and more.
The scene at the Prince Qingping's Mansion was one of tenderness and warmth, while the team of officials was polarized, one side was lifeless, the other side was filled with indignation.
The lifeless ones, after seeing their brothers return in defeat, realized clearly that the money was too hot to handle and difficult to take, thus giving up the opportunity to make a fortune; the indignant ones attributed the failure to the fact that there were too few people and the plan was not meticulous enough. Such a good thing that could make money and avenge their brothers should not be given up.
"Brother, give me a definite answer. When will the next operation be? Judging from Cheng Weiyao's arrogant attitude just now, who is the culprit?"
"I think the main reason is that our previous arrangements were too scattered and too greedy. How about we settle for the second best? We definitely can't take down Wen Chengyun, who is so powerful, so if we focus on dealing with one of them, the reward will be enough for us to live happily..."
The indignant officers gathered around Wang Gang, talking at once and continuing their discussion. It gave Wang Gang a headache, so he raised his hand slightly to stop the discussion.
"It's definitely not going to work if we do it openly. We'll just have to wait and see what happens next..."
Wang Gang rubbed his brows. For a moment, he had no good ideas. In this desolate mountain and wilderness, there seemed to be no other way except to use force. However, since they had just been hunted, the Prince Qingping's Mansion would definitely be on high alert.
"Brother, let's forget about it. We don't really need to earn this money. Although the salary as an official is a little less, to be fair, escorting prisoners is also quite profitable..."
Li Kui rested on the side with a water bag on his face. Looking at the brothers he spent every day with, he couldn't help but comfort them softly. The main reason was that this was ill-gotten gains, and he could already foresee that the outcome of this matter would be failure.
He couldn't just watch his brothers jump into the fire pit without hesitation, so he might as well cut his losses in time.
But while Li Kui thought so, the others were not willing to let it go, especially Chen Er who was covered in knife wounds. This grudge had been formed a long time ago, how could it be easily resolved?
"Have you really been fooled by Wen Chengyun? The difficulties we have encountered since we were exiled are all real. Do you think that everyone in the Prince Qingping's Palace is so conceited? This matter is irrelevant! If you are afraid, then brothers, do it on your own. Don't be jealous when the money is divided!"
Chen Er originally meant to provoke Li Kui by saying this, after all, Li Kui was a reckless person and could be easily tricked, but he didn't expect that the other party would not accept the challenge.
"Yes, I'm a coward. I'm quitting. Brothers, take care of yourself."
Li Kui stood up honestly and left the sitting area, finding a quiet corner to sit down. The most he could do was not to listen, not to watch, and not to tell on anyone.
Who doesn't want to get rich? But if you have the life to make money, you also have to have the life to spend it. The worst thing is to lose both your life and your wealth.
Li Kui's attitude made the other officers a little shaken. After all, he was a brother who had personally participated in the hunting, and there must be a reason why he said this.
Seeing that everyone was about to lose their temper again, Wang Gang clenched his fist and coughed softly: "Alright, we are brothers, so we won't force it. Everyone, have you rested well? Let's get ready to go!"
With Wang Gang's shout, the exiles all stood up. According to the map, the team was currently located halfway up the mountain. As long as they crossed the mountain, the place of exile would be within reach.
Even though it would be hard work once they got there, it was still much better than drifting around naked and hungry. With this thought in mind, everyone began to quicken their pace...
