The Shocking 100: The Beginning of Special Training
"princess……"
Qin Feng looked at the gentle woman with a sweet smile in front of him, and felt his scalp tingling. He stood still and didn't dare to move a step. He didn't want to use his body to test whether every inch of the surrounding area was full of traps. Looking at the clear and quiet lake, there was no sign of danger at all.
He swore that the arrows on the lake were not just his imagination. If someone really jumped down from the lake with his Qinggong skills, he would probably turn into a giant hedgehog.
Ye Li smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. It's just a joke. It's not usually like this here."
Qin Feng was silent. He believed that it would be more dangerous than it was now.
Ye Li turned around and pointed at the endless forest behind her, and asked with a smile: "Have you been here before?" Qin Feng looked at it and hesitated for a moment before shaking his head and said: "It is not convenient to train soldiers near the capital. The Black Cloud Cavalry usually trains hundreds of miles away from the capital." And the Black Cloud Cavalry is cavalry after all,
Even training is mostly done in places like wilderness and deserts. Cavalry can't be deployed in the forest. Ye Li smiled and said, "When will the person I want come?" Qin Feng hesitated for a moment, "It should be here in an hour." Qin Feng really didn't have much confidence when he said this. The princess only gave a bunch of simple
The map couldn't be simpler, and each map was different. Although Heiyunqi was also good at tracking, it took him half a day to roughly determine the location of the map that was no different from the heavenly book. I don't know if Heiyunqi's guys can find the place. As for Wang
Qin Feng had never thought about what the concubine said, that if he was discovered by the people nearby, he would be out of the game. Even if the warriors of the Black Cloud Cavalry were new recruits, they would never be discovered by a group of ordinary people if they didn't want to.
"How much can it reach?"
"The Black Cloud Cavalry and the Mohist Army near the capital have each selected fifty elite soldiers. Even if not all of them can come, at least seventy or eighty should be enough." Qin Feng thought for a moment and said, "Princess..." Qin Feng hesitated for a moment, and still felt that he should clarify the question that had puzzled him for quite a while.
. He is the leader of the Black Cloud Cavalry. Although he is not the supreme commander and has only 2,000 men under him, he still feels that he should be responsible for the elite soldiers of the Black Cloud Cavalry. If the princess is dissatisfied with the dark guards, she should let the dark guard leader train them strictly and then choose better ones.
The number of soldiers would not have any impact on the combat effectiveness of the Black Cloud Cavalry, but what exactly are these soldiers for? If they are used as secret guards, seventy or eighty people are obviously too many, and Prince Ding's mansion already has secret guards. If there is a poor communication, it will easily cause conflicts between the secret guards and the Black Cloud Cavalry. If they are used on the battlefield
If it is not possible, then seventy or eighty people, no matter how elite they are, will obviously not be of much use. After all, using one person's strength to fight against thousands of troops is basically equivalent to sending oneself to death.
"You think too much." Seeing Qin Feng's face full of hesitation, Ye Li smiled helplessly and said, "Don't worry about it. I have also transferred 30 people from the secret guards. It depends on who gets here first. Do you want to take a gamble?"
Qin Feng remembered that when he was in Yonglin, he accidentally heard An San talking about the princess's gambling skills. After thinking for a while, he said firmly: "Black Cloud Cavalry." There is no doubt that among the three groups of people, Black Cloud Cavalry is far superior to others in terms of combat power and mobility. Maybe his kung fu is not as good as some of the dark guards, but he has the courage to know that the dark guards are not as good as the dark guards.
Except for the secret guards who were specially trained to serve the prince and princess, not all the others were highly skilled in martial arts. However, the Black Cloud Cavalry had all been rigorously trained and were used to fighting together. Ye Li raised her eyebrows and said, "I think the secret guards came first, and the Black Cloud Cavalry came second, but
The Mohist army had the most people there."
"That's impossible!" Qin Feng rejected it outright. He didn't mean to look down on the Mohist Army, but he couldn't deny that in his heart the Black Cloud Cavalry was indeed stronger than the Mohist Army. At least in a fifty-to-fifty situation, the Mohist Army would never be able to defeat the Black Cloud Cavalry.
“We’ll see.”
Ye Li removed most of the traps on the lake and under the cliff. She was amazed by the design of the traps and did not dare to underestimate the wisdom of the ancients. She was originally considering whether to prepare some unconventional things to defend the valley in advance, but now it seems that she does not need to waste her energy on this.
If all the devices in the valley were activated, and she was not completely unaware of it beforehand, even she could not be sure that she could escape unscathed. The simple buildings that were originally used to temporarily mount arrows in the valley had all been removed and replaced with a circle of neatly arranged wooden houses to prevent snakes, insects, rats, ants and wild animals in the forest from entering.
It took almost ten months to complete the project, and it was only completed a month ago. At the same time, all the money Han Mingyue had given and her own dowry was spent. However, she made a lot of money after visiting Qingfeng Mingyue Tower.
, so now seeing everything in front of her, Ye Li only felt satisfied and didn't feel any heartache.
An hour later, a figure in black jumped down from the cliff and landed on the ground in a somewhat wolfish manner. Qin Feng took a look and saw that it was a member of the secret guard. He snorted in disdain in his heart. If the princess had not withdrawn the agency in advance, the guy would have been shot through long ago. However, he also understood that if the princess had not reminded him in advance,
, he won't be much better than that guy.
"My name is An Shiqi, and I have met you, sir."
Ye Li nodded and motioned him to go to the side and rest. After a while, another figure appeared, still a member of the Dark Guard, then the Black Cloud Cavalry, and then the Mohist Army. Qin Feng soon discovered the difference. Most of the Dark Guards and the Mohist Army acted and arrived alone. But the soldiers of the Mohist Army
They all traveled together. So every time they arrived, they were in groups of four or five. Although they were not as agile as the Dark Guards and the Mohist Army, they did have the most people arriving. Two hours later, Ye Li clapped her hands and signaled everyone to stand up.
"I have met you, young master."
Ye Li nodded and scanned the people in front of him. There were only sixty-three in total. Twenty-eight Mohist soldiers, twenty Black Cloud Cavalry, and fifteen Secret Guards. "Disrupt the formation. I want to see that the people standing on your left and right are people you don't know and are not in the same team." Although these people didn't understand Ye Li's intention, they still
He followed orders and quickly regained his position. Ye Li nodded with satisfaction, finally finding some feeling, and pointed to the wooden house behind him and said, "From today on, you will live here for the next three months. Those who pass the final test can stay, and the rest will return to their original places.
Come and meet the coach who will be your mentor!" Ye Li clapped his hands lightly, and eight men, some tall, some short, some young, some old, walked up to Ye Li and said in unison: "Young Master."
Qin Feng couldn't help but raise his eyes as he stood beside Ye Li. Although he couldn't tell where these people came from, they all exuded the aura of being strong. They were all masters among masters. Ye Li nodded with satisfaction and smiled, "In addition to completing the tasks I arranged every day, you all need to
In addition to training, these people will also provide you with special guidance. Of course, if anyone among you can directly put it in any of them, this stage can be saved. How about it, do you want to give it a try? "
There was definitely a hint of provocation in these words, and soldiers, regardless of which era they came from, were definitely the most passionate of all. Almost immediately, one of them flew over to the one who looked energetic among the eight, and the others also chose their targets. There were a series of bangs and clicks, and they rushed over.
All the people fell to the ground without exception. The youngest of them clapped his hands and said to Ye Li with disdain: "Sir, aren't the people you chose too weak?" Ye Li smiled calmly and said: "They are not martial arts masters, and I don't need a group of top masters."
The young man raised his eyebrows in confusion, "If we don't need martial arts masters, what are we doing here?" Ye Li asked with a smile, "Can you teach a martial arts master in three months?" The young man was speechless. Even if he was conceited, he knew that learning martial arts was not something that could be achieved overnight. Even he himself had been known as a person with excellent physique since he was a child.
Wu Qicai also studied hard for more than ten years to achieve such an achievement.
"Although I don't understand what the prince wants us to do, but since the prince has told us to listen to you, then just follow his orders." said the older man.
Ye Li nodded and smiled, "I didn't expect that the prince's subordinates are really full of talents. There are actually so many masters like this. But don't worry, it won't take up much of your time. You just need to teach them some skills in the next two months. What do you think? Does anyone else want to try?" The person in front
After such a terrible defeat, the people behind them naturally gave up. Ye Li was very satisfied and said with a smile, "Well... let's go for a run first. See the field outside the yard? For your safety, I specially asked people to plant snake repellent grass. There will be no wild animals coming even if there are so many of you in broad daylight. Surround the yard."
Let's move around." So you mean there will be wild beasts at night? Everyone looked at each other, Qin Feng looked at the people below and had to ask himself, "Wang... Young Master, how far should you run?" Ye Li smiled, "Run until you fall down."
So a group of bewildered elites were dragged out to run, although they had no idea what it meant. But to some extent, they were all soldiers, and they knew how to follow orders. So eight masters formed a front and back formation, and dozens of people lined up to run in circles. Only Qin Feng was left standing.
He looked at Ye Li, who was obviously in a good mood, with a misty head. Ye Li smiled and waved at him, saying, "Take it and have a look. You should adapt to it for the next seven days. I will make adjustments later."
Qin Feng looked down at the file in his hand. He recognized the beautiful handwriting, but he didn't understand what it meant. He could understand the meaning of archery, fighting, running, etc. every morning and evening, but what were these parallel bars, push-ups, etc.?
What does it mean and what is it for? In Qin Feng's opinion, the things written on this paper are basically useless except for archery and fighting. Ye Li smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't understand or don't know how to do it. When An Er and An San are free, I will let them teach you. I originally planned to let An Er lead these people, but
But think about it, you are the leader of the Black Cloud Cavalry, so you must have more experience in leading people than the Dark Two. So... remember to make up for your part when you have time."
Looking at the innocent and sincere smile on the handsome young man in front of him, Qin Feng shuddered for some reason. He had a feeling that these few months would be very difficult. The two of them jumped onto the rooftop and could just see the scene outside the courtyard. Ye Li clapped her hands and sat down on the rooftop, watching the people running out of breath outside.
He kept shaking his head, "Is this the elite of your Black Cloud Cavalry? Don't tell me there are too many horses that they can't even outrun the Dark Guards?"
Qin Feng gritted his teeth. Among those twenty secret guards, at least fifteen of them knew martial arts, right?
"Whoever dares to use Qinggong will have to fly to the top of the cliff and jump down again in one breath, twenty times!" Ye Li said with a smile while staring at the secret guards outside who were taking advantage of the situation. The secret guards who were secretly admiring their companions' wolf-like appearance suddenly felt weak in their legs and almost fell to the ground.
Regardless of whether he understood it or not, when Qin Feng followed Ye Li to leave in the evening, he couldn't help but look back with a little pity at the elites of Dingguo Palace who were lying outside the wall and couldn't get up. Listening to the howling of wolves and the roar of unknown beasts coming from the distant forest, Qin Feng couldn't help but think that the princess found such a place so close to the capital. Is it true that God really dislikes them?
"Princess, do you want me to stay and look after them?" Those masters were indeed masters, but none of them seemed to want to control those arrogant elite soldiers. It would be troublesome if there was a conflict. Ye Li smiled and said, "Don't worry, they can't escape. Anyone who escapes without permission will be treated as a deserter!"
Am I worried that they might run away?
"I don't have time to watch over them every day now, so it's okay to let them fight on their own at first. Just don't get anyone killed. After seven days, I'll let the Second and Third Secret Agents take turns to teach them."
Qin Feng was silent for a moment, then asked, "I don't understand what the princess wants to do with them."
"They can do a lot, assassination, intelligence gathering, guarding, searching, infiltration, ambush, rescue, interrogation. Whether it's land battle, naval battle, field battle or street battle, there's nothing they can't learn." Qin Feng felt a little confused. Even the soldiers of the Black Cloud Cavalry couldn't know so much. "Assassination... and intelligence guarding, aren't they done by the secret guards? Why do we need to train someone else? Is the princess dissatisfied with the secret guards?" Ye Li looked back at his tangled face and smiled, "It's good for everyone to do their job, but I prefer to have an omnipotent team." Qin Feng thought for a while and said, "If we can really do what the princess said, our combat power can really change dramatically."
Ye Li shook her head and said, "The so-called elite are a minority. Just like the Black Cloud Cavalry, the skills they have learned are not something that most soldiers can master. Moreover, there is no need for so many. More is just a waste of resources. You should remember that the people I asked you to choose are all educated and can read. This alone is not something that most soldiers can achieve." Qin Feng nodded. Even among the elite like the Black Cloud Cavalry, only half of the soldiers can read. Qin Feng somewhat understood what Ye Li meant. Did the princess want to train a group of people who are both civil and military? However, he could not understand what the purpose of training so many talents was for a while.
"Oh, Qin Feng." When they were almost at the city gate, Ye Li reined in his horse and looked at Qin Feng and said, "You were originally the leader of the Black Cloud Cavalry. There is a rule you should know, right?"
"What?"
"Keep it secret. What you saw today and what you experienced in the next three months must not be disclosed to anyone without my permission."
Qin Feng couldn't help swallowing his saliva, "Including the prince?"
"Including the prince."
"…I obey your command."
When they returned to the palace, it was already dark. Qin Feng had been a little upset today, so he went to consult An Er and An San as soon as he got back to the palace. When Ye Li returned to the room, Mo Xiu Yao was reading a book under the lamp. He looked up at her when he heard footsteps. "Did you go out of town?" Ye Li nodded, turned around, washed up, and came out. The originally empty table was already filled with hot meals. She casually tousled her hair and waved away Qingxia and Qingshuang who were serving beside her, then looked at Mo Xiuyao who was looking at her and said with a smile, "Are you free today? You are not busy in the study. Didn't the emperor summon you to the palace this morning?" Both of them were very busy after returning from Southern Xinjiang. The emperor in the palace seemed to be having a seizure. Although Mo Xiuyao had not officially gone to court yet, he was summoned to the palace every day to discuss matters.
"There's nothing wrong, it's just that our emperor likes to discuss matters with his ministers recently." Mo Xiuyao smiled faintly, stretched out his hand to pull Ye Li to the table and signaled her to eat first. Looking at the table full of her favorite food, Ye Li smiled at him gratefully. Although she was not hungry, it was always good to have someone prepare food for her as soon as she got home. "The emperor is going to let me handle all the matters of the marriage with Beirong." Mo Xiuyao said when Ye Li had almost finished eating.
"Leave it to you?" Ye Li frowned, drank the last sip of soup and asked the person to take the food away. She looked at him puzzledly and asked, "What do you mean by leave it to you?"
Mo Xiuyao smiled faintly and said, "It means that I will be fully responsible for receiving the envoys from the Northern Rong who are welcoming the bride, determining the marriage partner, arranging the dowry for the bride, and escorting the bride."
After hearing what Mo Xiuyao said, Ye Li couldn't help but frown, "You are asked to welcome the envoys from Beirong and determine the marriage partner?" Mo Xiuyao looked at her with a smile, "In fact, it is up to you to determine the marriage partner. So you will probably be very busy and can't leave the city these few days." Ye Li waved her hands helplessly. It was almost unnecessary to imagine what would happen once this news got out. Who among the dignitaries in the capital would be willing to marry their daughter to the barbaric land of Beirong? I'm afraid that tomorrow, the people who come to ask for mercy will break down the threshold of Prince Ding's Mansion. The worst thing is that she can't choose any of them, but no matter who she chooses, it will definitely offend people. So, does the emperor just want to make more enemies for Prince Ding's Mansion?
"There are people watching over there so I don't have to run out of town every day, but what do you think of the marriage?"
Mo Xiuyao pondered and said, "The emperor's mind hinted that the eldest daughter of the Hua family is the most suitable. The queen mother prefers Princess Ronghua, but the queen mother has no say now. There are also a few other candidates, such as the third daughter of the Liu family and Princess Shunchenghou. But they are not very impressive, and the people of Beirong may not agree." Ye Li frowned and said, "So it is very likely that the final candidate will be between Tianxiang and Princess Ronghua? Since the emperor likes Tianxiang, why doesn't he make the decree himself?" Mo Xiuyao smiled and said, "He is having a headache now, and naturally wants us to do things that offend people. I know you are good friends with Miss Hua, so it doesn't matter if you eliminate her. Just pick one from the princesses of the royal family."
Everyone has selfish desires. Ye Li and Hua Tianxiang have a good relationship, so she naturally doesn't want Hua Tianxiang to be chosen for the marriage. Ye Li couldn't help but feel annoyed and troubled about the fact that the task of choosing the person for the marriage was assigned to her. She would feel guilty about choosing someone to handle such a matter. She would rather fight and die on the battlefield than handle these things cleanly and neatly. Seeing Ye Li frown, Mo Xiuyao just shook his head slightly and said calmly: "Being in the royal family and being supported by the people, whether it is a marriage or dying on the battlefield, it is their fate. Ah Li, don't feel sorry."
Ye Li shook her head and said helplessly: "These royal princesses and daughters were all brought up in seclusion and used to being spoiled. Who knows how much suffering they will have to endure if they marry into the Northern Rong. If the two countries really intend to have a marriage alliance, then it's fine. But this..." It was clearly just a temporary solution. Both countries knew that the princesses who were to be married off would be useless sacrifices. If there was no marriage alliance, the two countries would not be able to fight for a while, and even if there was a marriage alliance, there would be no way they would not fight. It's just that neither side is ready yet. Ye Li is not someone who can't make decisions, but she hates this kind of meaningless sacrifice from the bottom of her heart.
Knowing that she was in a bad mood, Mo Xiuyao stopped talking about this topic and said with a smile: "What did you do outside the city today? You borrowed eight masters from me and transferred people from the Black Cloud Cavalry and the Dark Guards of the Mo Family Army. What do you want to do? Ah Li, are you really not going to tell me?"
Ye Li raised her eyes and smiled, "I am still in the trial stage. Let's see what results I can get in the next few months. I will tell you when there is a result. If it doesn't work, I will return the person to you." Mo Xiuyao thought for a while and said, "Ali, what do you want to train a group of people for? The secret guards around you are well trained. The leader of the secret guards asked me yesterday if you could train his men. I heard that in Yonglin, the two people around you defeated all the secret guards around me?"
"It's just a sneak attack." Ye Li said with a smile.
"It's not easy to sneak attack." As a secret guard, he is used to being in the dark and on guard at all times. The fact that such a person can be sneak attacked by two people proves that they are indeed stronger. Ye Li smiled and said, "When this group of people comes out, I can assign a few of them to be your guards." Mo Xiuyao nodded and said, "I'll wait and see. If Ah Li really trains a group of masters, these people will be your guards."
"That's such a waste." Ye Li shook her head and smiled, "When the time comes, you'll know what they are for. Just don't try to steal them from me. I hope they can exist openly in the army." Mo Xiuyao raised his eyebrows in surprise, "I thought Ah Li hoped they would become a secret force."
Ye Li smiled faintly and said, "Of course we still have to keep it secret, but what we have to keep secret is their number, where they are stationed, their true strength and their detailed identities, not their achievements and their existence. If it is really as I imagined, their existence will be known sooner or later, and it is impossible to hide it. I hope they can be rewarded for their merits and promoted for their abilities like ordinary soldiers." The Black Cloud Cavalry is still a regular army after all, but the profession of secret guard is a bit of a scam. Except for a very small number of people who can stand out, basically all secret guards can only be secret guards for their whole lives. There is no legitimate identity, no promotion, no honor, no friends, and even no children. Most people are too old to be secret guards. Although they are supported by the palace, they are basically too old and their lives are ruined. In this way, there has never been a traitor among the secret guards of Dingguo Palace. It can only be said that the ancient people attached great importance to the words loyalty and righteousness.
Mo Xiuyao lowered his head and thought for a moment before saying, "Ah Li, you never considered those around you as secret guards from the beginning. Secret Guard One has gone to the army. With his ability as a top secret guard, it is only a matter of time before he becomes prominent. Secret Guard Four has gone to Xiling to handle work. You should teach Secret Guard Two and Secret Guard Three who are staying by your side how to handle some of the public affairs."
Ye Li smiled and said, "They are much stronger than most people in terms of both ability and intelligence. But they can only hide in the dark for most of their lives. I think it's a waste of talent. Moreover... human hearts are very difficult to figure out. Maybe one day they don't want to hide in the dark anymore? If that day really comes, the consequences will be more serious than having no secret guards at all. So, they have the ability and are willing to use me, so I naturally can't treat them unfairly. Of course... if someone wants to betray me, I won't show mercy!"
Mo Xiuyao seemed to be thinking about something, and said, "Ali's words do make sense, but...Ali may not know that many big families hide their own power. Especially for the personal guards, they know too many secrets of their masters, so they are controlled very strictly. In some families, the guards who know too much will eventually be silenced."
Ye Li said, "Then it's impossible...Give the dark guards the same military position or other levels, with the same clear rewards and punishments. After a certain number of years, transfer them to the Black Cloud Cavalry or the Mo Family Army?" Mo Xiuyao was a little curious and smiled, "What is Ah Li thinking?"
Ye Li said, "If I am satisfied with the results of my training this time, these people should serve until they are 35 years old. After 35, they are not allowed to leave and will be transferred to the Mohist Army at the same level. Of course, if they have other abilities and interests, they can also be considered as civil servants or something else. This is just an idea. Anyway, we haven't even trained them yet, so there is still time to consider this issue."
Mo Xiuyao raised his eyebrows and said, "I understand. Ah Li wants to pave a good way for their future, right?"
Ye Li nodded, looked at Mo Xiuyao and said seriously: "I once heard a saying. Soldiers have shed blood for the country, so they should not be allowed to shed tears again. And those retired veterans and wounded soldiers, in fact, have a hard life. But I can't care so much now, so at least I have to settle the people under me." Because she was once a soldier, but the treatment in her previous life was naturally much better than that of people now. In ancient times, being a soldier was not an honorable career. Good men don't serve in the army, and good iron doesn't make nails. Many people joined the army just because they had no choice.
"Although I don't know why A'li has these ideas, I will try my best to imagine it." Mo Xiuyao said softly as he looked at the woman in deep thought.
