Chapter 1421 - 1420: Wu Guangzu’s Special Training 2
At this moment, Xiao Qing, after pouring tea for Wu Guangzu, waited dazedly for Wu Guangzu to say thank you, unexpectedly saw him looking outside the door.
Xiao Qing followed Wu Guangzu’s gaze and saw Gu Yuxin outside the door, looking particularly alluring from that angle.
Xiao Qing was filled with indignation, her lips already pouting, as she slammed the teapot onto the table and stormed out.
At the doorway, she saw Gu Yuxin blocking the way and gave her a light push with irritation, then headed straight to her room.
Wu Guangzu watched the departing Xiao Qing, feeling bewildered, completely unaware of what had happened, while Xiao Feng frowned, being an older mentor, he had encountered such situations before.
Now his little girl had fallen for Wu Guangzu, but Wu Guangzu liked Gu Yuxin outside, which was the most troublesome situation.
However, the immediate priority was forming the army and proceeding with the next plan, rather than being concerned with these romantic entanglements.
So Xiao Feng hurriedly said, "Come, come, Wu Guangzu, we need to discuss the next plan, and everyone will gather to explore ideas later."
As a battle-hardened Grand General, he understood how crucial it was to perfect the plan; as long as the strategy was superior, victory could be achieved even if the forces were somewhat lacking.
There are countless historical examples of the few triumphing over the many, so as long as the strategy is sound, success can generally be expected.
"Hmm, alright!"
Wu Guangzu didn’t think much more and responded directly.
While speaking, the five squad leaders each led two elites from their teams over, and Wu Guangzu immediately recognized Brother Fang and Lin Yi, whom he remembered quite well.
Also accompanying them were Ru Nian, Ding Kong, Tan Batian, Xiaoliu, Second-in-Command Tian Feng, and eight other elite soldiers. A dozen people gathered around a round table in the room, while Wu Guangzu began introducing the following plans.
"Everyone is here, so let’s talk about the tasks for the next half-month."
Wu Guangzu looked up at everyone and continued, "Our provisions can last at most for about twenty days. During these twenty days, you five squad leaders must train your soldiers into seasoned warriors ready for battle."
At this point, Wu Guangzu also felt the task was somewhat heavy, but given the dire situation, the provisions for these twenty days, no matter how frugally used, might extend a few days more; if the Assassin Group can’t be reclaimed afterward, they would surely starve to death.
"Therefore, the upcoming task is to intensively train. These days, all squad leaders should work hard to train the army minute by minute. Besides, I have discussed with Deputy Squad Leader Xiao Feng to select ten elite members from each squad to form our Special Assault Unit. They will exclusively undergo special training with Xiao Feng and me."
Wu Guangzu shared the agreed result with everyone.
"Okay, good, we will intensify the training, and the chosen elites are all here. Senior Brother Wu, feel free to convey any instructions." Ru Nian, as the second senior brother, spoke on behalf of everyone.
Wu Guangzu assessed these ten elite soldiers; these were the ones he had noticed from the high platform, though those from the first squad left a particularly strong impression, and he hadn’t yet had a chance to learn their names.
At this moment, Wu Guangzu smiled subtly, casually pointing at Lin Yi, saying, "Everyone, please introduce yourselves so we all get acquainted, starting with this brother!"
Lin Yi seemed momentarily stunned, then promptly reacted, standing up swiftly with hands cupped in respect, saying, "Captain, I am surnamed Lin, single name ’Yi’, from a small nearby mountain village."
"Okay, great, next one, please continue!" Wu Guangzu nodded understandingly and said.
"Captain, I am Fang Mou, from the same village as Lin Yi." Fang Mou also respectfully cupped his hands and spoke.
"Good, Brother Fang, please sit!" Wu Guangzu responded politely.
"I am Xie Jun, a Qishan person!"
"Sit!"
"I am Li Li, a Qishan person!"
"Hmm!"
....
A few minutes later, the ten elites had introduced themselves, and Wu Guangzu now had clarity in his mind. Among them, he felt Lin Yi was quite outstanding, thus decided to make him the leader of the elite unit.
Thus, with a slight smile, he said, "Brother Lin, you’ll serve as the leader of the elite unit. Any tasks will be communicated to you first, and you’ll relay them to everyone."
"Yes, thank you, Captain!"
Lin Yi accepted without hesitation or delay, acknowledging that, as a soldier, there’s no room for reluctance in duty; a task entrusted signifies importance, and no one would foolishly refuse.
"As for others, you must follow Lin Yi’s orders. In my and the deputy leader’s absence, his orders are our orders, understood?" Wu Guangzu spoke in a serious tone.
"Yes, understood."
Everyone replied in unison.
Once the instructions were given, everyone dispersed, and Wu Guangzu, seeing Gu Yuxin outside idly playing with stones, quietly sneaked over and playfully covered her eyes.
"Ah?"
Gu Yuxin was startled, thinking someone was attacking sneaky, thus reacted with a punch hitting Wu Guangzu’s eyelid, instantly turning it red.
"Ouch..."
A wail escaped, startling Gu Yuxin, who quickly turned around, seeing Wu Guangzu clutching his eye, and felt a tinge of embarrassment.
"Wu, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it, I thought it was a bad guy..."
After speaking, Gu Yuxin saw Wu Guangzu’s eye socket already bruised, and couldn’t help but laugh, "Alright, alright, come over and I’ll blow on it for you!"
Wu Guangzu was thrilled seeing Gu Yuxin offering to blow on it, and immediately leaned his head over, and Gu Yuxin, without much thought, started blowing gently.
Just then, as Xiao Feng was about to pass by, seeing this action thought, "These young ones are really open," but now Wu Guangzu held a significant position in the Assassin Group Guards, it’s crucial to pay attention to his image.
"Ahem ahem..."
Xiao Feng deliberately coughed twice while passing them, unintentionally causing Gu Yuxin to startle, in the sudden excitement, her blowing mouth kissed Wu Guangzu’s forehead.
At that moment, time seemed to freeze, Wu Guangzu felt a soft and warm sensation on his forehead, instantly resembling something he’d want to preserve eternally.
However, Gu Yuxin quickly regained her composure, immediately retreating from Wu Guangzu’s forehead; though a kiss isn’t significant, she already knew Wu Guangzu’s feelings, and mustn’t get closer, or it would make him deeply lost.
If her heart wasn’t captivated by Chen Tianlong, this scenario would be normal, allowing potential growth with Wu Guangzu, but fate loves mischief, ever since her first encounter with Chen Tianlong, his image has lingered deeply in her mind, impossible to forget.
"Ahem ahem..."
After parting, Wu Guangzu and Gu Yuxin saw Xiao Feng approaching, feeling a tad embarrassed. The situation got awkwardly clever, leaving no room for explanation; thus, Wu Guangzu tried a casual smile, saying, "Xiao, you’re here, haha."
