Chapter 1788 - 1774

The Old Gang Leader listened to Chu Ge’s words, puzzled as he looked at him, "What, did she also use the Fox Charm Technique on you?"

Chu Ge smiled and nodded, "But it didn’t succeed."

"Hahaha, thinking about how the Princess Consort is so wanton, Lao Wu must have a whole field of green grass on his head," the Old Gang Leader said teasingly.

"Hey, that’s not how it should be said. Although we know that the Princess Consort uses the Fox Charm Technique on other men, we don’t know her specific purpose, so it’s hard to say..."

Before Chu Ge could finish his sentence, the Old Gang Leader raised his hand to interrupt him, "I know what you mean. Actually, I was just joking. As for what’s really going on, we don’t know and don’t need to know. As long as the Princess Consort isn’t targeting us, that’s fine."

Chu Ge remained silent. Not targeting them? He thought perhaps not. The Princess Consort knew Ye Liang, and Ye Liang was coming for him, so who was the Princess Consort targeting?

She had gone to find him at the Beggar Gang several times. Was it really just because he saved her life and she wanted to express her gratitude?

If it were only that simple, the Princess Consort, with her noble status, coming once would be understandable, but twice makes one wonder.

Chu Ge pondered whether to tell the Old Gang Leader about the Princess Consort and Ye Liang.

They were now on the same boat...

Thinking of this, Chu Ge felt that this sounded a bit odd. They hadn’t done anything illegal, so saying this seemed a bit strange.

Chu Ge cleared his throat, somewhat awkwardly looking at the Old Gang Leader, "Old Gang Leader, I have some information here that I don’t know whether to tell or not."

"What’s there to hold back? As long as it helps us successfully complete our mission, then it should be told."

The Old Gang Leader moved closer to Chu Ge, ready to listen.

Suddenly, the shouting came from the large group of people, calling for departure.

"Alright, let’s talk later. We’re almost at our destination anyway."

The Old Gang Leader brushed the dust off his trousers, saying to Chu Ge: "Come on, let’s rejoin the team."

Chu Ge nodded, "Okay, I’ll tell you once we’re settled."

The large group continued their journey towards Yellow Island until they reached their destination at dawn.

Chu Ge had never traveled so long before. In the past, he either drove or rode, and even when he was on the mountain, he only traversed areas as large as hilltops; he’d never traveled so far for so long.

Despite having martial arts skills, he showed signs of fatigue on his face as he looked at the others around him, who were already exhausted.

"Ahead is the military camp. Although you’re here to join the army, you haven’t been assigned yet, so you’ll have to make do for one night until the Prince arrives and you’re reassigned!"

"Understood!"

"Dismissed, go rest."

Along the way, Chu Ge and the Old Gang Leader were almost inseparable, and even Feng Luo barely spoke to them, leaving her feeling somewhat displeased.

On this journey, it was all men, and even when it was time to sleep, Feng Luo had to stay with them, feeling it was smelly and cramped, making her very uncomfortable.

Now, seeing that tomorrow would bring reassignment and relief, she couldn’t hold it in any longer.

"Old Gang Leader! Chu Ge! You two have gone too far!" Feng Luo stood behind them with her hands on her hips, angrily exclaimed.

Chu Ge turned, seeing Feng Luo’s cheeks puffed with anger, "Miss Feng Luo, what’s wrong? Who offended you?"

"You! You!" Feng Luo glared at him with an aggrieved expression.

Chu Ge appeared innocent, "Me? What do you mean?"

"Start from the beginning, from when you didn’t fulfill your duty to look after me!"

"Girl, don’t be unreasonable," the Old Gang Leader invited Feng Luo to sit down with them around the campfire, "In the military camp, it’s not just a matter of us not being able to take care of each other. Are you here to endure hardship or to enjoy?"

Feng Luo pouted, "But staying with all these men is too smelly!"

"You should have anticipated this before you came. But don’t worry, after tonight, once the reassignment is done, you can sleep comfortably on a kang."

Feng Luo looked at the Old Gang Leader, feeling a little worried, "Old Gang Leader, do you think we’ll be assigned together?"

Being a doctor isn’t at all like what she imagined.

"You don’t need to worry about that. I’ve already arranged for us to be assigned together."

"Really?" Feng Luo looked at him in surprise, "You can even do that?"

"I’ve got plenty of skills. You can’t see them all, can you? Alright, don’t interfere here. I still have things to discuss with Chu Ge. You should go to bed."

The matters that the Old Gang Leader and Chu Ge had to discuss weren’t suitable for Feng Luo to hear.

Feng Luo pouted, "I just arrived, and you’re already sending me away!"

"There’s plenty of time ahead, but I have matters to discuss with Chu Ge now. You’ve had a long day, you must be exhausted. Go rest soon."

Feng Luo hmphed and stood up, ready to leave after snorting.

"Hey, wait a moment."

The Old Gang Leader called Feng Luo back again, "Who’s sleeping in which tent tonight? I heard it’s three people to a tent. You can sleep in our tent, instead of squeezing with them. It’s more convenient for a girl."

"Alright."

Feng Luo left feeling dejected.

The Old Gang Leader turned his head to look at Chu Ge, "Didn’t you have something to say during the day? Now you can speak."

"It’s about Ye Liang and the Princess Consort."

Chu Ge replied, "I’ve seen Ye Liang sneak into the Princess Consort’s boudoir before; they talked for a long time in the room. Apparently, they know each other."

"Isn’t it normal for them to know each other? The Marquis Ye Mansion is a lackey of the Prince Manor."

"No, Old Gang Leader, you forget, Ye Liang isn’t really the eldest daughter of the Marquis Ye Mansion. She and I are from the same time and space."

The Old Gang Leader was stunned, then realized, he patted his forehead, "Look at my memory, I got confused after Feng Luo’s commotion."

He was silent for a while, considering Chu Ge’s words. If what Chu Ge said was true and they knew each other, then the Princess Consort must have also come from...

The chaos of time and space is a mystery; now this puzzle seems a bit clearer.

The Old Gang Leader didn’t speak, he quietly watched the fire, lost in thought.

Chu Ge didn’t disturb him and sat there in a daze, contemplating. Since Ye Liang was there for him, then the Princess Consort too could probably be after him.

Yet there was one thing he couldn’t figure out. If they could both perform soul transfer, was their mastermind Wei Yongxiang? But he and Wei Yongxiang didn’t have any deep-seated hatred between them, did they? Or did Wei Yongxiang believe he had ruined his plan?

Or perhaps it’s all just a coincidence, and he simply got unlucky?
