Gao Fei had thought that after seeing Miao Kuangfeng fly into a trendous rage and publicly berate Cao Buwei, there would be severe punishnt in store. If Cao Buwei wasn't killed, at the very least he should be stripped of his military rank. But who would have thought… Miao Kuangfeng was all bark and no bite.
After giving Cao Buwei a sound scolding, nothing else happened… This greatly disappointed Gao Fei.
Extrely disappointed.
Gao Fei's mood started to sour.
…
"Be gone," Miao Kuangfeng said impatiently, waving his hand, "Go back and reflect on your actions."
"Yes." Cao Buwei wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and then walked outside. As he passed by Gao Fei, Cao Buwei glared, "What are you staring at? Hurry up and follow ."
"Gao Fei fought bravely. I admire him and plan to keep him by my side. You don't have any objections, do you?" Miao Kuangfeng said indifferently.
"Ah?" Cao Buwei was stunned, then hurriedly shook his head, "No objections. No objections at all! It's Gao Fei's good fortune from his previous life to be appreciated by you, my lord… Gao Fei, you must work hard and not let down the expectations the lord has placed on you." The last sentence was addressed to Gao Fei.
After coming out of the tent, Cao Buwei's face beca gloomy. Damn it, that kid Gao Fei is just too lucky! To think he could survive being chased by tens of thousands of bandits, and now he's even caught Wan Fuchang's eye. What kind of luck is this!
"My lord," Ding Dalang hurriedly stepped forward, "Did you et with Wan Fuchang? What did he say to you?"
"Not only did I et Wan Fuchang, but I also saw Gao Fei," Cao Buwei grunted.
"Who? You saw who?" Ding Dalang's eyes widened.
"Gao Fei!"
"How is that possible? Isn't Gao Fei already dead?"
"He's not dead! He's alive and well!"
"Impossible! Even if Gao Fei has miraculous abilities, he can't be the opponent of tens of thousands of bandits, can he?"
"Wan Fuchang saved him."
"…Damn it! That brat Gao Fei is just too lucky!"
"Yes, too lucky," Cao Buwei nodded, "This ti Gao Fei really turned misfortune into a blessing. Not only did he save his life, but he also gained Wan Fuchang's appreciation. Just now, Wan Fuchang personally asked for him, wanting Gao Fei to stay by his side."
"You agreed?"
"Do I dare not to agree?"
"This is so unfair!" Ding Dalang, infuriated, howled furiously, stamping his feet on the ground, his face turned an ashen blue with anger: "Too unfair! How could that guy Gao Fei gain Wan Fuchang's favor?!"
"Truly unfair," Cao Buwei was also very resentful, "You didn't see how smug that little villain Gao Fei was, acting as if he was going to ascend to the heavens." Saying this, Cao Buwei snorted coldly, "Now that Gao Fei has the backing of Wan Fuchang, he doesn't regard at all, the bastard! Sooner or later, I'll kill him!"
Ding Dalang muttered to himself in his heart: Even without the backing of Wan Fuchang, you're nothing in Gao Fei's eyes! He only muttered this in his heart, he wouldn't dare say it out loud.
"Now we're in trouble," Cao Buwei sighed heavily, "Gao Fei harbors resentnt against and is now staying close to Wan Fuchang. He will definitely speak ill of at every opportunity, trying to sow discord between Wan Fuchang and ..."
"This is indeed a problem," Ding Dalang nodded.
"Just now, Wan Fuchang gave a severe reprimand."
"A reprimand? Why?"
"All because I fled the battle! When faced with bandits, I ran away with the soldiers. Wan Fuchang was very angry and rebuked heavily in front of everyone. If it weren't for other officers pleading on my behalf, I might have lost my head."
"How did Wan Fuchang find out about this? Oh, it must have been Gao Fei who told him! That bastard, he's up to no good."
"Damn it, if I'd known Gao Fei was so treacherous, I should have killed him with a slap at the start. Now things are great, Gao Fei has beco the favorite in front of Commander Wan, and it's going to be difficult to deal with him now."
"Gao Fei must be eliminated!" Ding Dalang said resolutely, "As long as Gao Fei is alive, he is a threat to the lord."
"It's easy to say but hard to do," Cao Buwei frowned deeply.
"There's always a way," Ding Dalang said, "If all else fails… we can find soone to assassinate him."
"Assassination?" Cao Buwei was shocked, "Is that wise? Commander Wan already knows I'm at odds with Gao Fei. If Gao Fei were to be assassinated, Commander Wan would definitely suspect ."
"I have an idea..." Ding Dalang looked around, then whispered into Cao Buwei's ear, "We can contact the bandits, have them kill Gao Fei."
"What?" Cao Buwei's eyes bulged, "What nonsense are you talking about! How could bandits possibly listen to !"
Ding Dalang bared his teeth and said in a low voice, "Offer them enough benefits, and the bandits will surely be tempted."
"No," Cao Buwei shook his head vigorously, "Absolutely not! If Commander Wan finds out I've had dealings with bandits, he will surely kill ."
"As long as the lord does it covertly, Commander Wan will definitely not find out."
"It's too risky."
"Only if Gao Fei dies at the hands of bandits can the lord clear himself of suspicion."
"This… let think about it."
"Ti is of the essence, the lord needs to make a decision quickly."
"I know," Cao Buwei waved his hand in irritation, then left with heavy steps.
Ding Dalang's hatred for Gao Fei was no less than that of Cao Buwei. He dreamt of slaughtering Gao Fei. When he learned that Gao Fei had beco the favorite of Commander Wan, Ding Dalang was instantly anxious as if his heart was on fire. What to do was a serious dilemma; if Gao Fei sought revenge on Ding Dalang, then Ding Dalang would have no peace.
"Yo, isn't that Ding Dalang?" a strange, mocking voice ca from behind.
Ding Dalang shuddered, recognizing the voice imdiately—it was Gao Fei.
"What are you doing here?" Gao Fei strolled leisurely to Ding Dalang's side, hands behind his back, "Waiting for ?"
"No," Ding Dalang shook his head, "I was waiting for Lord Cao."
"Cao Buwei? He left a while ago, didn't you see him?"
"Uh… saw him… Well, I have other things to do, I must be going…"
"Wait, I have sothing to say."
"What do you want to say?"
"Ding Dalang, I don't know why, but whenever I see you, my palms itch. I really want to slap your face."
"You… don't ss around, okay…" Ding Dalang jumped back in fright, putting so distance between them, then looked at Gao Fei with a panic-stricken face, "If you dare hit , I will scream for help, and then we'll see how you get out of this one."
"Look how scared you are, I was just joking with you, and you took it seriously," Gao Fei chuckled, "Ding Dalang, you really are too cowardly."
"You…"
"By the way, I have so news for you. Well, it's good news for but probably bad news for you… Starting today, I'm no longer under Cao Buwei's command. Commander Wan has asked to stay by his side and work for him… How does that make you feel? Are you upset? Furious? Do you feel like screaming three tis to vent the dissatisfaction in your heart?"
