Chapter 105 Paparazzi
Continuing to walk up the mountain, Wen Yingxue soon heard some sounds.
The further she walked, the clearer the sound became: the sound of people humming and laughing. Turning a corner, Wen Yingxue saw a large house.
Feng Yi had no intention of letting the two of them in, and continued walking up the mountain. Wen Yingxue followed him, and then they saw the scene in the house.
Mud squats, tree lifts, and weighted running.
"Dad, isn't this the training method of modern military?" Wen Yingxue asked in a daze.
Wen Yingxue looked carefully and found that those who were undergoing hard training were all children around ten years old.
"Yes, when I first came here, they asked me how to train these new kids, but I didn't know how. Luckily, I had watched a TV drama before, so I applied it here." Feng Yi said.
"They are all children, how could you have the heart to do that to them?" How cruel!
Feng Yi coughed lightly and scratched his head. "Actually, I feel sorry for them. I've wanted to change the training method several times, but those stubborn old men in the Fengwei said this method was good, so I didn't change it."
Continuing to walk forward, Feng Yi said again: "Actually, this is a good thing. It can make them stronger quickly. Being a Phoenix Guard is not an easy job."
There's melon to eat! Wen Yingxue's eyes lit up, and she grabbed Feng Yi's arm and said, "Tell me about it! How is it not easy to live?"
Nie Chubai followed behind and watched the father and daughter talking. He was in a bad mood. When he saw Wen Yingxue actually hugging Feng Yi's arm, his face became even uglier.
Unfortunately, Wen Yingxue didn't see it. Feng Yi turned around to look at him, but winked provocatively, then pulled Wen Yingxue to continue talking.
"What do you think Fengwei does? To put it bluntly, they're just reporters and paparazzi."
"What do you mean?" The book didn't describe Yin Ling and Feng Wei in detail, so Wen Yingxue didn't know the inside story.
Feng Yi explained: "What this means is that the main job of the Fengwei is to secretly investigate the gossip of everyone in the world except the emperor himself.
For example, an old prince married one wife and four concubines, and had five sons and two daughters, but two of the sons were not his biological sons.
For example, whether a concubine was a spy sent by another country, or whether an important official of the imperial court accepted bribes, or how much money the family had, these trivial matters, we have to take care of them."
Wen Yingxue was dumbfounded. This was really trivial.
"What is the purpose?" Wen Yingxue asked.
Could it be that the founding emperor was actually a gossiper? Did he create the Phoenix Guard just to listen to gossip?
At this time, Nie Chubai said: "It's to find handles. Greed for money and lust are all fine. The superiors are not afraid of your ability, but they are afraid that you don't have handles.
As long as they have a handle on your weakness, they can control you forever."
Hiss! After hearing what Nie Chubai said, Wen Yingxue suddenly had a new understanding of the founding emperor Qi Sheng. This man was really good at showing off his power and manipulating people's hearts.
Nie Chubai unobtrusively pulled Wen Yingxue over to him, then continued, "The reason why Phoenix Guards aren't easy jobs is precisely because of this. Everyone in the world, except the Emperor, wants Phoenix Guards dead."
Wen Yingxue thought about it and nodded. After all, people don’t want to expose their weaknesses and flaws.
Feng Yi raised an eyebrow at Nie Chubai's actions, then added, "So, being a Phoenix Guard is difficult. Everyone sees us as enemies and can't wait to kill us."
"By the way, Dad, the Yin Ling has been lost for so many years. Are you still collecting the ministers' handles and weaknesses?" Wen Yingxue suddenly remembered this and asked.
"This is our job, and of course we must continue. We are only responsible for recording and protecting the emperor's life. We will obey the orders of whichever royal family member holds the secret order."
This time, it was Nie Chubai who asked, "Why is there such a rule?"
Feng opened her mouth, then turned her head proudly: "Because, why should I tell you?"
Wen Yingxue was suddenly at a loss for words. She came out of Nie Chubai's arms and pulled Feng Yi, saying, "Stop keeping me in suspense. Tell me now."
Feng Yi immediately turned around, grabbed his daughter's hand, glanced at Nie Chubai, and continued, "This is the order of the founding emperor. He said that he created the Phoenix Guard just to control the lifeline of the world. As for the affairs within the royal family, he doesn't care.
The throne has always been held by the most capable. Whoever has the ability to obtain the Yin Order can command the entire Fengwei."
After hearing this, Wen Yingxue always felt that this founding emperor seemed to have some domineering aura.
He seemed to be on par with Qin Shi Huang. The former relied on his military prowess to sweep across the land, while this one relied on his intelligence, calculations, and ability to kill without shedding blood.
As they were talking, the three of them had already reached the top of the mountain, where there was a small courtyard.
"Dad, is this your yard?" Wen Yingxue asked, pushing open the door and walking in.
The buildings in the courtyard are elegant and refreshing, and at first glance it seems to be a quiet place. Unfortunately, the plants in the yard are not so quiet.
There are peppers, green vegetables, radishes, and grape racks. In a corner of the yard, there are a few old hens clucking.
"Dad, you have a good life!" Wen Yingxue said, turning around.
Feng Yiyi waved her hands and said, "Don't mention it. You don't know what kind of life I lived when I first crossed over here. I ate flowers and drank dew every day. I almost thought I was a fairy.
For six months, I didn't eat a single bite of meat. My mouth was almost dry, so I started raising chickens.
Wen Yingxue looked around the yard, her eyes filled with envy. She also wanted to live such a life.
Nie Chubai looked at Wen Yingxue from behind, his eyes full of doting.
Feng Yi had already rolled up his sleeves and went to the chicken coop to catch the hens: "Dad is making soup for you today. It's been a long time since you tasted Dad's cooking, right?"
"Yeah, okay." Wen Yingxue immediately nodded with shining eyes.
Feng Yi came out with a chicken, looked at Nie Chubai provocatively, bumped his shoulder, and went out to kill the chicken.
Wen Yingxue looked at Nie Chubai and said, "That's just the old man's personality, but he doesn't have any bad intentions, so don't be angry."
Nie Chubai shook his head and followed Feng Yi out.
Wen Yingxue ignored the old man and the child and continued to watch in the yard.
After a while, Feng Yi came back with a gutted and plucked chicken, followed closely by Nie Chubai.
Next, Nie Chubai followed Feng Yi wherever he went, his eyes always fixed on the old hen in Feng Yi's hand.
I watched helplessly as she was chopped into pieces, put into the pot, and cooked into chicken soup.
Feng Yi looked at Nie Chubai and snorted coldly, but did not stop him. His hands moved a little slower so that Nie Chubai could see more clearly.
"Why is it so slow? Isn't it ready yet? I'm hungry!" Wen Yingxue said while sitting at the stone table under the grape trellis, covering her stomach.
Just when Wen Yingxue was about to faint from hunger, "Here it comes!" Feng Yi finally came up with chicken soup.
