145. Heart to Heart

Mo Xiuyao also said a few encouraging words afterwards, and then left Qin Feng and Lin Han to let everyone leave. After the group returned to the study and sat down, Ye Li looked at Lin Han and asked, "How was the trip to Beirong?" Lin Han replied respectfully, "Everything went well, please rest assured, Princess." Ye Li nodded, turned her head to look at Mo Xiuyao and asked, "Princess Ronghua..." Mo Xiuyao said softly, "Although Princess Ronghua is a little willful, she is not a fool, don't worry, A Li, she won't do anything bad." Ye Li nodded, sighed and said, "That's good, otherwise this trip would be a big loss." Qin Feng stood aside and listened to the two people talking, silent. Since the princess and the prince did not avoid him, it means they trust him. He personally participated in the training of the first batch of Qilin team members, and he was familiar with everyone. Of course, he knew very well which of the eight people Lin Han took out were the ones who came back.

Mo Xiuyao looked at Ye Li with a smile and said, "I never asked about Ah Li before. This time, I realized that Ah Li is not only capable of managing the palace and conquering the battlefield, but also very good at training soldiers." If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, even Mo Xiuyao would find it hard to believe that such an army and soldiers existed in this world. It's not about how powerful their martial arts are, nor how good they are at fighting. It's that they mastered many skills on the battlefield so skillfully and accurately that it was shocking. Mo Xiuyao even thought, if such an army really appeared, how terrible it would be. Ye Li glanced at him and said, "These training methods are too time-consuming and labor-intensive, and they also place high demands on the soldiers themselves. They are not very effective on a battlefield with thousands of troops, and it can be said that the gains do not outweigh the losses." Although no one was eliminated in this first training, it was because these people were the elites of the elites, and many were eliminated during the selection process. More importantly, this was the first time Ye Li trained the warriors he wanted in this era, and because of the differences in many equipment and combat methods between the two eras, this could only be considered an exploration. It was hard to say that these people really met Ye Li's requirements.

Mo Xiuyao didn't even blink, and looked at Ye Li with a smile, "Ah Li, do you have any suggestions?"

Ye Li blinked and looked at Mo Xiuyao for a long time without saying anything. After a while, she whispered, "Give me some time to imagine."

Mo Xiuyao didn't care, as long as he achieved his goal. If Ah Li had no interest in these, he would hope that she would just be a leisurely Princess of Dingguo, but since Ah Li had the interest and the ability, he would not block her from shining.

After dealing with Mo Xiuyao, Ye Li turned around and said to Qin Feng: "From today on, you will be the leader of Qilin. From now on, these people will be handed over to you."

Qin Feng nodded and said, "I will not let down the princess's trust."

Ye Li nodded and said, "That's good. You should pay more attention to these people. Remember, you are not those large-scale ordinary armies. You don't have to participate in face-to-face fighting on the front battlefield. Do you understand?"

Qin Feng raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "I don't understand. We are not weaker than ordinary soldiers." It is indeed a very frustrating thing to learn a lot of skills but not be able to charge into the battlefield. Could it be that the princess just wants them to be spies to get information? Thinking of this, Qin Feng thought with some frustration. Ye Li raised her eyebrows and said lightly, "You are indeed not weaker than ordinary soldiers. Even many times stronger than them. But... if the fifty of you were mixed into the army of thousands of horses, could you fight one hundred?" Qin Feng was speechless. Swords and knives in the chaos of the army are blind, and it is not as easy to determine the strength as in the duel on the training ground. Sometimes luck is equally important. Being alive is the strength. No matter how high your martial arts skills are or how agile you are, you will become like a hedgehog when a volley of arrows is shot at you. Ye Li looked at him and said, "You can't fight a hundred with one, but the cost of training each of you is a hundred times that of ordinary soldiers. Therefore, the battlefield you have to face is different from theirs. Maybe there is no frontal battlefield, but it is definitely more shocking. Small-scale, high-intensity combat is what you have to do. I said earlier that tracking and lurking, reconnaissance behind enemy lines, hostage rescue, harassment and sabotage, stealing intelligence, kidnapping and assassination, etc., everything that ordinary soldiers cannot do, you must do. These are what you have to do, understand?"

Qin Feng pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "I understand."

"That's good to know. After we return to Beijing, we will immediately start the second special training. I will teach you the training methods and subjects later. You will be fully responsible this time. My requirement is that within five years, the number of Qilin people will reach one thousand."

Qin Feng was overjoyed. Although his subordinates were all elites, only fifty people looked a bit shabby. Qin Feng imagined himself leading an elite team of thousands of people. That feeling was definitely not much different from leading thousands of troops. He quickly said loudly: "I obey your orders and guarantee to complete the task!"

"Very good, back off."

After dismissing Qin Feng and Lin Han, Mo Xiuyao looked at the high-spirited Ye Li with a smile and said, "Now I understand why Ah Li looks down on the secret guards of Dingguo Palace. Compared with Ah Li's people, the secret guards are really far inferior. I am now looking forward to the day when the team Ah Li mentioned will be formed." Ye Li glanced at him and said, "Don't talk nonsense, my lord. I have never looked down on the secret guards." Many of the secret guards have extraordinary abilities. At most, she just thinks that Dingguo Palace is wasting talents by using people like this. Mo Xiuyao lowered his eyebrows and thought for a moment and said, "Since Ah Li intends to expand the number of Qilin, let all the secret guards participate in the special training of Qilin after returning to Beijing. In the future, Dingguo Palace will cancel the secret guard system."

"Is this okay?" Ye Li was also a little worried about Mo Xiuyao's quick decision. Especially when she thought of a certain weird leader of the Dark Guards. Knowing Mo Xiuyao's decision, Mo Hua probably wanted to eat her.

Mo Xiuyao smiled and played with her hair, saying, "What's wrong with that? If there is a more advantageous method, why not use it?" Ye Li said, "Aren't the secret guards used to protect the master of Ding Wangfu?" Mo Xiuyao smiled and said, "Didn't you also say that Qilin's mission also includes guarding. And they did a great job in Beirong this time." It was indeed great. The people trained by Ye Li can fight and kill, speak well, act and play dumb, disguise, poison and get information. Ye Li looked at him speechlessly. So this was his idea.

"You are really calculating, my Lord." Ye Li glanced at him unhappily. But this glance was a charming and charming look to Mo Xiuyao. He reached out and pulled her into his arms and kissed her.

Lips and tongues intertwined, Ye Li was almost breathless from the kiss. Mo Xiuyao's big hands that were messing around made her face flushed and her body soft. Since returning from Beirong, Mo Xiuyao has obviously changed a lot compared to before. These changes made Ye Li happy but sometimes a little overwhelmed, "Well... bastard Mo Xiuyao, will you die if you don't get horny?" Mo Xiuyao smiled softly, his slightly cool lips moved around her slender neck, spraying a slightly warm breath, which made Ye Li's face turn redder. Bastard Mo Xiuyao! Ye Li's eyes were bright, and she raised her hand to strike him. Mo Xiuyao seemed to have expected her to do this, and he caught her hand and gently stroked it, "Ah Li, don't you feel sad when you hurt me?"

Ye Li rolled her eyes at the sky, raised her head and touched Mo Xiuyao's forehead. Mo Xiuyao looked at her and raised his eyebrows to show his confusion. Ye Li said lightly: "You don't have a fever. You are dreaming in broad daylight." Mo Xiuyao was stunned for a moment and smiled on Ye Li's shoulder. After a long while, he raised his head and said softly: "Ali is so cruel. Even if Ali doesn't feel sorry for me, I will worry about Ali's hand hurting." Ye Li was powerless. She was not used to Mo Xiuyao's sudden nausea. In the past, Mo Xiuyao would occasionally joke with her, calling her "wife" and "husband", but after returning this time, Mo Xiuyao obviously liked to stick to her more. Sitting in Mo Xiuyao's arms, Ye Li asked softly, "Xiuyao, what's wrong with you?" Mo Xiuyao was stunned and smiled, "What's wrong? Does Ah Li dislike your husband?"

Ye Li looked at him calmly, and the smile on Mo Xiuyao's face gradually faded. He held her in his arms again, took a deep breath, and said, "Ali, I'm a little scared..."

Ye Li's heart shuddered. Although Mo Xiuyao always behaved in a gentle and elegant manner, Ye Li knew very well what a proud man he was. If he really couldn't bear it, he wouldn't show his weakness in front of anyone. No, even if he really couldn't bear it, he wouldn't show it in front of outsiders.

"What's wrong?"

"When I heard about the bloody battle in the Dingguo Palace in the capital in Beirong... When I knew that you had to deal with Mo Jingqi and those greedy nobles, and lead the troops to the battle. I regretted... regretted..." I regretted why I agreed to go to Beirong with Mo Jingqi. He insisted not to go and Mo Jingqi would never force him. I even regretted... why I didn't kill those people earlier. Every time he thought about the possibility of losing her, the fear and murderous intent that burst out of his heart made him want to destroy everything and everyone in his sight, "Ali... Fortunately, you are okay..."

Ye Li never thought that she was a soft-hearted person, but now her heart was as soft as a ball of cotton. This strong and powerful man became so fragile and fearful because of her. Ye Li has never been more clear about this cognition than now. She gently put her arm around his shoulders and said softly and firmly, "No, as long as I live, I will always be by your side." Mo Xiuyao lowered his head and put his forehead against hers. "Really?" Ye Li said, "As long as you don't leave, I won't give up." This is the most sincere oath she can say. Ye Li has long understood that Mo Xiuyao has done more than enough for her. She also understands that she can't bear to see this man suffer.

"Never leave, never give up..." Mo Xiuyao whispered softly. He liked this word. The thought of never leaving Ah Li for life made him feel happy from the bottom of his heart. Anyone who dared to stand in their way would be punished!
