This speculation spread like wildfire among the servants, which shows how popular Qin Qingyao, the master, is among the servants. This is the benefit of being convinced.
If you are unpopular, people will think you are pretending and have ulterior motives when doing good things. On the contrary, even if you are unreasonable and make trouble, there will be people who will actively make excuses for you!
But in fact, what made Wu Gang sad was not that he was about to leave, but that the task assigned by the princess only required two people to complete.
But there are four of them, including him and another team. Who among the three is the most suitable to lead?
When he returned, he saw three pairs of hopeful eyes staring at him intently.
"Well? What did the princess say?"
Wu Gang shook his head and said nothing.
Wu Yu frowned, "Then can you at least tell me why you let us go?"
Wu Gang, "Didn't you already tell Qi Mo?"
Qi Mo's face froze. This was truly an injustice. When had he taken advantage of the situation? Did some little bitch go behind his back and tell the princess about his misfortune?
Damn, it’s better not to let him know who it is, otherwise I’ll tear him apart with my bare hands!
Wu Gang looked at Qi Mo's dark face and felt that his state was quite real. He did look like he was being driven away for no reason and was unwilling to accept it, which would not arouse people's suspicion.
He doesn't need to investigate the case. It would be better for him to go to the military camp with this feeling of dissatisfaction.
Then he looked at Wu Yu again. Although they were not blood brothers, they had always had a close relationship and often discussed problems together. When they arrived at the military camp, they might get together a few times.
The two of them always get together, which inevitably arouses suspicion and makes people investigate. If they find out that they are really just talking about their own things, it seems to be more helpful in concealing the truth and making the other party let down their guard.
The last one is Wu Cheng. He is the one who speaks the least, has the least expressions, and has the strongest execution ability among the four. He is simply a model and example of talking less and doing more. That's him!
The problem now is how to get Jin Feiang to arrange him and Wu Cheng to be captains of An Yu and Zheng Mingxuan's team?
While Wu Gang was still thinking of a countermeasure, Jin Feiang had already arrived with Zheng Mingxuan and the other four.
When Qi Mo saw the four of them, he was furious and actually wanted to drag them into a fight so that the princess could see who was more powerful.
Fortunately, Wu Gang pulled Qi Mo in time, "What are you going to do?"
"What for? Of course, to compete with them and see who is more worthy of staying!"
Wu Gang, "How dare you compete with others? If it weren't for you, how could we have been driven away!"
Qi Mo stared at Wu Gang with eyes wide open in disbelief, "What did you say?"
"What did you say? You're telling me to behave myself and stop causing trouble! You're just idling around all day, eating and doing nothing. When you're about to be kicked out of the Yanling Army, don't drag us down with you!"
Qi Mo was so angry that his eyes turned red. He and his friends were together every day, and Wu Gang didn't know what he was doing all day. Why was he slandering him?
Qi Mo stopped fighting with Zheng Mingxuan and the others and rushed towards Wu Gang.
Wu Yu and Wu Cheng each grabbed one of them. "Alright, alright, calm down. Stop talking. What's the point of blaming each other? We're just going back to the barracks. The sky isn't falling. Why fight?"
The four of them were in a mess, and Jin Feiang was extremely upset. It was a blessing that the princess had tolerated these people until now, considering their wicked behavior. They should have been thrown into the military camp for retraining long ago!
"Tsk~"
Zheng Mingxuan and the other three were stunned at first, then they looked at the other four people with contempt and disdain and laughed. Although the sound was very small, it was still heard by the four people and successfully stopped their war.
The four of them turned their heads in unison and glared in the direction of the sound. Even Wu Cheng, who usually had no expression, looked unusually angry.
Zheng Mingxuan snorted coldly, "You don't need to blame each other, go back and look in the mirror, and you will know why you were kicked out!"
Qi Mo turned around and ignored Wu Gang, rushing towards Zheng Mingxuan. "What the hell did you say? Say it again if you dare!"
Zheng Mingxuan crossed his arms across his chest, looking as if he didn't take anyone seriously. "What if I say it a hundred times? You're not worthy of being on the stage!"
Qi Mo, "Fuck, let's fight! I'll beat the crap out of you and make you look for your teeth on the ground!"
Zheng Mingxuan, "Do you think I'm afraid of a clown like you?"
"Who are you calling a clown?"
Qi Mo was really mad. Not only was his position taken away, but he was also mocked by these four people. No man could tolerate this!
Wu Gang and the other three were almost unable to stop Qi Mo, who was about to rush over to challenge Zheng Mingxuan in a duel. Finally, Jin Feiang roared, "Enough!"
"Are there any rules? What do you think this is? A market?"
"Qi Mo! I think you've been so comfortable with the princess for too long that you've even forgotten how to write the word 'rules'! Hurry up and pack your things and get back to the barracks. Do you have so much free time?"
Wu Gang and Wu Yu supported the angry Qi Mo, "Yes, yes, right away..."
Under the contempt of Zheng Mingxuan and the other three and the angry gaze of Jin Feiang, the four of them packed up their bags and left the palace in disgrace.
While riding on the horse, Qi Mo was still so angry that his head was full of lumps. He almost broke the reins and was thinking about going back to fight Zheng Mingxuan.
He just couldn't get over the humiliation unless he competed with those four shrewd guys to see who was the winner!
Wu Gang sighed helplessly. Why hadn't he noticed Qi Mo was so obsessed with this before? He was really wronged!
"Alright, it's not over yet. When I come back in the future, I'll personally ask the princess for permission. You can fight any of the four people you want. You can pick any one you want, okay?"
Qi Mo rolled his eyes at him angrily, "Come back? When can you come back? You're just boasting!"
Wu Gang: "That's..."
Qi Mo, "Also! From now on, don't talk to me. Stay away from me, so that I, a lazy person, won't ruin your bright future!"
Wu Gang, "Why are you so petty and still holding a grudge?"
Wu Yu, "Come on, will you die if you apologize? Bullying someone and then calling them petty is not the behavior of a captain of the Flame Army!"
Wu Gang, "Yes, yes, I was wrong. I spoke without thinking and said nonsense. I'm sorry, brother. I reflect deeply on this. Can you forgive me?"
Qi Mo, "No!"
Wu Gang: “…”
He was really reflecting deeply on whether he had overacted and said too harshly, and really hurt Qi Mo's feelings. After all, being "driven away" by the princess had already dealt him a big blow.
He might not have been very accurate in judging Qi Mo, but he was definitely not wrong about Wu Cheng.
Wu Cheng was indeed the calmest and most rational among the four. For example, he had guessed some clues from Wu Gang's inconsistent behavior, his deliberate words to provoke Qi Mo, and his previous words "I'll come back in the future".
It was definitely not simple for them to be driven away this time, otherwise how could Wu Gang be so calm?
Everyone knows that it is difficult to join the Yanling Army, and it is even more difficult to join the Royal Guard Camp. As for those who are kicked out of the Royal Guard Camp and want to go back, so far, only Zheng Mingxuan and the other four have done it!
I don’t know how lucky those four people were to be chosen by the princess. Otherwise, they would never be able to come back in this life.
Wu Gang should be very clear about this situation, but why did he say with full confidence that he could come back and even said that he would go to the princess to ask for mercy?
If they were really driven away because they displeased the princess, where would Wu Gang get the face and the confidence to ask the princess for mercy?
So there is definitely something behind this matter, and the princess must have given Wu Gang a task alone. This acting queen is quite good at pretending!
Wu Cheng suppressed his speculation and did not attempt to expose Wu Gang. He did not ask what he should not ask and did not listen to what he should not listen. This was the most basic principle of being a qualified subordinate.
They arrived at the Yanling Army camp quietly. When they were resting at night, Wu Cheng saw Wu Gang going to find Jin Feiang alone.
Isn't this too much of a stretch? I really don't understand why the princess would assign Wu Gang alone to carry out the mission, given that he's clearly better at keeping secrets!
Although Wu Cheng is usually taciturn, he is very ambitious. He feels a little disappointed that Qin Qingyao chose Wu Gang instead of him.
He knew that he was not good at speaking, and thought that it was because he was not close enough to the princess on a daily basis, so the princess did not trust him as much as she trusted Wu Gang.
As a result, Wu Gang came out from Jin Feiang and went to find him.
"We will officially take office tomorrow. I will take over An Yu's team, and Zheng Mingxuan's team will be handed over to you..."
Wu Cheng, "Do you have the final say?"
"Of course my words don't count. Commander Jin has the final say!"
…
On the other side, the four people who arrived at the palace had already reported to Qin Qingyao. How should I put it? They were worthy of being the heroine's favorite. Their faces were all written with seven big words, "I am a master, I am handsome!"
Qin Qingyao smiled with satisfaction. "You may have heard that a maidservant of mine was murdered not long ago. I'm a timid person to begin with, and now that I've been frightened, I feel a little insecure."
"I'll be sorry for the hard work from now on!"
"I dare not. Protecting the princess is our duty. We will do our duty faithfully and will not hesitate to die!"
"Well," Qin Qingyao nodded and said with a smile, "Do you know how to play shuttlecock?"
Four people: What the hell?
Dugu Yu was busy in the study until evening before coming out. He hadn't seen Qin Qingyao all afternoon, so he asked as soon as he came out, "Where's the princess?"
"Your Highness, the princess and her four new guards are playing shuttlecock in the garden."
Dugu Yu, “…”
When he walked into the garden, he saw Qin Qingyao playing shuttlecock with a group of servants. She would also play shuttlecock with Qi Mo and the other three on weekdays, but they always played without any respect and with laughter.
But the atmosphere today was obviously not right. Except for Zheng Mingxuan and his four companions, everyone else was sweating and nervous, not daring to relax at all.
It looked less like entertainment and more like a war.
