"Boss."

Hajime handed over a piece of paper with some names written on it.

Gu Jue just took a look and responded with a “Yeah.”

Hajime took back the paper, stood in the middle of the martial arts arena, and slowly read out the name on the paper.

"Remainder, Zhang Wen..."

"These people have passed the assessment, and they can go to Vice General Xing to claim their rewards."

After saying that, Ayi retreated behind Gu Jue.

"Those who did not pass the assessment, captains, please take your men back."

After saying that, Gu Jue turned around and looked at Deputy General Xing, "Three of you, I gave the assessment to you, not because I wanted such a false answer."

Seeing the shame on the three people's faces, Gu Jue didn't say anything else to them. Instead, he walked to the center of the martial arts arena and spoke to the soldiers surrounding the arena.

"Since this assessment is suspected to be false, those captains will be temporarily suspended. After the truth of the matter is found out, they will be reinstated."

"As for all the soldiers, if you find any weird people around you, you are welcome to report them."

Having said that, Gu Jue did not say anything else. Instead, he turned around, walked down the martial arts stage, and walked towards the tent.

Seeing this, Xing Jia hurried to follow.

To be honest, he didn't know why it turned out like this.

Although he knew that some people in the military camp had their own selfish motives, he did not expect that they would be exposed in this scenario.

In the past, even if the Marquis knew some of the circumstances, he would turn a blind eye. As long as it did not harm the Gu family army, the Marquis would not care so much.

In fact, this is not right. As soldiers, officers and soldiers of Dayan, they should abide by military discipline.

In the tent

Xing Jia stood in front of Gu Jue with a shameful look on her face.

"All those on this list are those who just cheated in the assessment. Send them back immediately and cancel their Gu Family Army status. I don't want to see them in the barracks again before dark."

Gu Jue handed Xing Jia a piece of paper with an indifferent expression.

"Yes."

At this time, Xing Jia no longer cared how shocking Gu Jue's orders were. He just wanted to make up for his mistakes.

This was the first time he made a big mistake in all his years in the army.

Therefore, Xing Jia executed Gu Jue's order very quickly.

Although there are concerns that this will lead to bad consequences, these people should be punished, but the punishment is a bit severe.

In the next few days, a different punishment list was sent to Xing Jia every day, and the degree of punishment varied greatly.

Xing Jia had no objection to this.

Even the soldiers in the barracks mostly agreed not to talk about these things.

Although I felt reluctant and confused as I watched familiar people around me leave one after another, no one objected.

After all, after the competition ended that day, those people who were not as strong as them but passed the assessment had already left the barracks after being discovered.

Those who left later on almost all knew the reasons.

Although I was reluctant to see them leave, I didn't think it was wrong.

Violating military discipline should be punished.

Not only that, some people even asked to leave on their own accord. Those who asked to leave were not the soldiers who had second thoughts, but three captains.

Xing Jia and others didn't quite understand their decision.

Although the eldest daughter is a little willful, she is also ruthless. Such a person is the best candidate for the development of the Gu family army.

Why are you leaving suddenly now?

Xing Jia and the others didn't understand, but the three captains who asked to leave knew it clearly.

All the close confidants around him were expelled from the Gu family army.

It's such an obvious move, it's their turn next.

Rather than being stripped of his military status and having to start over, it is better to resign on your own initiative.

In this way, you will still be in your current position when you go to another military camp, and the lowest position will not be too low.

Therefore, several people who had done wrong things asked to leave the Gu family army without Gu Jue having to do anything.

Gu Jue only paid attention to the situation in the military camp for two days and then stopped paying attention to it.

Because the Spring Examination has begun!

-

February 9th

As soon as the sun rose, people lined up in front of the examination hall.

This time, Gu Jue finally stopped hiding somewhere and watching the entrance to the examination hall. Instead, he came to the inn opposite the examination hall openly for the first time.

The front of the inn was filled with carriages from various mansions, including the Gu family's carriage. Gu Jue was also in the carriage and did not come out.

Originally, she planned to come here without being noticed by anyone, just like she did in the last autumn examination. However, before she could go out, she was pulled into a carriage by Gu Qing and brought here.

In Gu Qing’s own words, “On such a busy day, we have to join in the fun.”

Although she did not refuse, for some reason, in Gu Qing's mind, it seemed that she agreed to come here because she was afraid of him.

"Aren't you going to come out and see?"

"Yanjing is rarely so lively. People have come from all the houses, even those whose families don't have any candidates."

"The Lin siblings are here too?"

"Why are the Yuan family here too?"

"Tsk, Zhang Yulin is here too."

"Huh? The Sun family is here? What are the Sun family doing here?"

"Could it be that you are here to join in the fun?"

Gu Jue, who was sitting in the carriage and fiddling with his Buddhist beads, did not respond to Gu Qing's words at all.

But this did not prevent Gu Qing from sitting outside the carriage alone and talking to himself.

"The Imperial Guards are here. Looks like they'll be entering the examination hall soon."

"The line at the door is so long."

"Hey, the door is open, let's start admitting people."

"Hey, isn't that the scholar who often goes to the Wanshu Pavilion to read books?"

"You came to the examination hall so early?"

"This person is also someone I often see in Wanshu Pavilion. Yes, there is also that one."

"The Zhao family is here too."

"What are the Lin siblings looking for? They are standing outside the carriage."

"If nothing else, this Miss Lin seems to be quite talented."

"She is worthy of being recognized as the most talented woman in Yanjing."

"What is Zhang Yulin doing?"

"He even climbed onto the roof of the carriage. If his father knew about this, he would be beaten."

"Hmm? Whose carriage is this?"

"Oh, so it's from the Xu family."

"Does the Xu family also have candidates this year? Hmm? Why is it Xu Zilin?"

"Didn't this kid refuse to take the imperial examination?"

"Why are you here too?"

Listening to the real-time broadcast coming from outside the carriage, Gu Jue's hands moved faster and faster.

It was already noisy outside, but I didn't expect this guy to be even noisier. Why does he talk so much?

Just when Gu Jue frowned and was about to stop Gu Qing in annoyance, Gu Qing's words instantly stopped Gu Jue's preparation.
