Gone With The Bustling World - Chapter 33

“Old Li, do you think that kid’s reliable or not?” Jia Muqi stroked his chin.
Li Shenghu was pissed off when that was mentioned, “Him? I’ll thank heaven if he wouldn’t drag us down!”
The old general Tai Yan was sedate, “It’s indeed reckless for Duke Fang to do so. We should talk over it.”
“Talk what?!” Gao You was short-tempered, “When you make a conclusion, the rooster can lay an egg and Bafang changes its surname!”
“Old Gao, calm down.” Jia Muqi hastily stopped him, “Don’t let Duke hear that…”
It seemed that Jia Muqi was really afraid of Duke Fang now.
“We can’t just let that kid do stupid things. Let’s make a plan and force him to give up on his own…”
Yu Bin shuddered in fear, “Old Jia, this time, don’t drag me in. Your idea almost killed me last time.”
Li Shenghu disdained, “Look at you coward… Old Jia, make an idea and I’ll follow you! Whatever the result, I’ll take the blame!”
“My bro…” Jia Muqi was touched, “Let’s share the fortune, and you take the misfortune.”
“Eww!” Everyone gave him the finger.
Jia Muqi coughed, “In short, this time, we can’t irritate Duke Fang…let me think…”
Unexpectedly, this burly coarse man should be the brain among the group! Don’t judge a book by its cover!
“I got an idea! Let’s sneak into the boy’s camp and throw him out in coldness for a night. That fair-skinned boy must find it unbearable! Tomorrow morning, he’ll give up!”
Everyone worried, “What if Duke Fang knew it?”
“You fool! Just hide it from him! Would the boy tell others such an embarrassed thing? He’ll just keep it to himself!”
“Right!!!” The others understood at once.
“Then let’s do it!”
“Qingyu, you sleep here tonight.” Fang Junqian pushed him to a camp, “Please forgive me if there’s anything uncomfortable.”
Xiao Qingyu didn’t know since when he gradually found the shamelessly way he called him “Qingyu” like it supposed to be less disgusting…
“Neat place.” Xiao Qingyu wasn’t picky.
Zhang Jinya was already making bed and unpacking their luggage.
Duke Fang apologized, “There are 700,000 soldiers stationing here. The food and shelter in Bafang is in short supply…”
“Not a problem.” Xiao Qingyu prepared to go to bed, “If there’s nothing else, you may go back. I’m tired and want to rest earlier. Tomorrow I’ll have to inspect the solders’ training.”
“Then I’ll leave you alone.” Fang Junqian walked out of the camp but suddenly lifted the door curtain, “Right! If you really find the place too small, you can come to my Commander’s camp and sleep with me! I’m looking forward to it!” (Bare flirting…)
Then he left with loud laughing.
“…” Zhang Jinya carefully peeked at his childe.
Xiao Qingyu’s face was as calm as still water, with an inexplicable expression. But based on years of experience serving childe, Zhang Jinya dared to swear that childe must be in a terrible mood…
The night was dark with dim stars and a crescent moon.
The moonlight gently coated Bafang with a thin silk gauze, quiet and charming.
It was late at night, in the camps, most of the loyal dutiful Bafang soldiers fell into asleep, not knowing what was going on in the distance.
Suddenly, birds soared up and fell in a flash, and four dark figures appeared in the outskirts of the camp, sneaking to the main camp.
“That’s where the kid is sleeping?” The lowered voice was especially scary in the dark.
“Exactly.” A group of four sneaking men peeked outside the tent, “There seems to be two people?!”
“There’s a little one.”
“Damn, he thinks this is playing house?!”
“Don’t worry. He’ll understand tonight!”
“Listen,” Jia Muqi gathered them, “To ensure our plan works out, let’s assign tasks first.”
“Yu Bin, you’re less bold, so you watch outside. Let us know immediately once anything happened!”
“Old Li and I will take care of the boy. We’ll capture him once we get in and stop him from making a sound.”
Li Shenghu grinned with scorn, “Just him? I can do it with one finger.”
“Old Gao, you take care of the little one. Don’t let him ruin our plan.”
Gao You boasted, “I’ll hang myself if I failed to deal with a kid!”
“Okay, after I count three, let’s rush in!!”
“One… Two… Three!!”
A dark cloud rolled by, covering the moon, the only illuminator, as if even the heaven couldn’t bear to see the miserable scene that was going to take place.
At dawn the next day, a burning red sun leaped out of the dark mountains. Soldiers woke up in the regular clamor and got prepared for the daily training, wind or rain.
At this moment, a shocked scream came somewhere in the camp, like a stone cast into the lake, spreading ripples of noises which got louder and louder.
Tai Yan heard it when he just woke up. He got up and was about to ask, when the curtain was lifted and a rash soldier ran in—
“General Tai! Bad news!”
He gave a glare to the young soldier and scolded him who was panting heavily, “What’s it that makes you so panicked?”
The young soldier swallowed nervously seeing the general’s gloomy face, “I don’t know why, but when I got up this morning, I found four people tied together outside that childe’s camp… They…”
The youth seemed to find it hard to say, looking quite resistant.
Smelling a rat, Tai Yan instantly rushed out of his tent and reached that of Xiao Qingyu’s in a while.
Before he got near, he heard waves of noises and saw layers of soldiers surrounding it, laughing and pointing to the middle.
At once, Tai Yan squeezed into, took a glance, and became dumbfounded.
He saw four people lying neatly at the door of the tent, who were tied up without any scars, mouth plugged with cloth, groaning on the ground. When they saw Tai Yan, their eyes became watery.
Tai Yan took a deep breath! Li Shenghu… Gao You… Jia Muqi… and even Yu Bin who was responsible to keep an eye outside!
A clean sweep!
At this moment, Tai Yan only felt lucky!
Unprecedented lucky!
Thank heaven that he was so wise that he didn’t join them. Otherwise, there would be more than four people lying on the ground… It was okay to get injured, but he couldn’t bear the shame…
“Wow. A lively morning!”
The soldiers separated to make a way, and Duke Fang walked over in high spirit.
When he saw the four generals on the ground, his eyes were lit up!
“Spectacular! Who came up with this creative idea?”
