Qin Feng gritted his teeth. Of the 20 Shadow Guards, at least 15 of them knew martial arts, alright?
"Whoever dares to use Qing Gong, I'll make you fly to the top of the cliff and jump back down 20 times!" Ye Li said with a smile as she stared at the shadow guards who were trying to trick them. The Shadow Guards who were secretly enjoying the sorry state of their companions couldn't help but feel their legs go soft and they almost fell to the ground.
Regardless of whether he understood it or not, when Qin Feng left with Ye Li in the evening, he couldn't help but look back with pity at the Ding Kingdom's elites who were lying outside the wall and unable to get up. Hearing the howls of wolves and the roars of unknown beasts coming from the distant forest, Qin Feng couldn't help but think that for Wang Fei to find such a place so close to the capital, was it because the heavens didn't like them?
"Wang Fei, should this subordinate... stay behind to look after them?" Those experts were indeed experts, but none of them looked like they could control those arrogant elite soldiers. It would be troublesome if there was a conflict at that time. Ye Li smiled and said: "Don't worry, they won't be able to run out. Those who run out without permission will be treated as deserters!"
Am I worried that they will run away?
"I don't have time to look after them every day. It's fine to let them fight on their own in the beginning. It's fine as long as they don't kill anyone. Seven days later, I will let Shadow Two and Shadow Three take turns to teach them. "
Qin Feng was silent for a moment before asking: "This subordinate doesn't understand what Wang Fei wants to use them for."
"They can do a lot of things. Assassinations, intelligence gathering, guards, search, infiltration, ambush, rescue, and interrogation. No matter if it is land warfare, water warfare, field warfare, or street warfare, there is nothing that you can't think of that they can't learn. " Qin Feng felt that his brain was a bit muddled. Even the soldiers of the Black Cloud Cavalry didn't know that much, "Assassinations... and intelligence gathering, aren't those the Shadow Guards? Why do they need to train other people? Is Wang Fei not satisfied with the Shadow Guards? " Ye Li turned to look at his conflicted face and smiled: "It is good for everyone to do their own job, but I prefer to have a troop that can do anything." Qin Feng thought for a moment before replying: "If we can really do what Wang Fei says, then our battle strength can change completely."
Ye Li shook her head and said: "The so-called elites are the minority. Just like the Black Cloud Cavalry, the skills that they learn are not something that most soldiers can grasp. Also, we don't need so much, it's just a waste of resources. You should remember that the people I asked you to choose are all literate. This is not something that most soldiers can achieve. " Qin Feng nodded. In the army, even among elites like the Black Cloud Cavalry, only half of the people were literate. Qin Feng more or less understood what Ye Li meant. The Princess Consort wanted to cultivate a group of people who were proficient in both the pen and the sword. But what was the use of cultivating so many talents?
"That's right, Qin Feng." When they were about to reach the city gates, Ye Li stopped the horse and examined Qin Feng: "You were originally the commander of the Black Cloud Cavalry, so you should know one rule, right?"
"What?"
"Keep it a secret. What you see today and what you experience in the next three months, without my permission, you are not allowed to reveal it to anyone. "
Qin Feng couldn't help but swallow, "Including the Prince?"
"Including the Prince."
"… … This subordinate obeys."
When they returned to the wang fu, night had already fallen. Qin Feng had received a bit of a shock today and went to find An Er and An San for advice as soon as he returned. When Ye Li returned to her room, Mo Xiuyao was reading a book under the light. Hearing the sound of footsteps, he raised his head to look at her, "You left the city?" Ye Li nodded and turned to wash up. When she came out, the originally empty table was already filled with steaming hot food. Qing Xia and Qing Shuang looked at Mo Xiuyao who was looking at them and said with a smile, "Are you very free today? You're actually not busy in the study. Didn't the emperor summon you into the palace this morning? " The two of them were extremely busy after returning from the southern border. The emperor in the palace seemed to have a stroke. Even though Mo Xiuyao hadn't officially gone to court yet, he summoned Mo Xiuyao into the palace every day to discuss matters.
"There wasn't anything to begin with, it's just that our emperor likes to discuss matters with his subjects recently." Mo Xiuyao said with a faint smile. He reached out to pull Ye Li to the table and indicated for her to eat first. Seeing that the table was filled with her favorite dishes, Ye Li smiled gratefully at him. Even though she wasn't really hungry, but having someone prepare food for her the moment she returned home was a good feeling. "The emperor is prepared to hand over all matters regarding the marriage with the Northern Tribes to me." When Ye Li was almost done eating, Mo Xiuyao said.
"Hand it over to you?" Ye Li frowned. After drinking the last mouthful of soup, she had the servants put the food away. She looked at him in confusion and asked, "What do you mean by hand it over to you?"
Mo Xiuyao smiled faintly and said, "It means that I will be in charge of everything, including receiving the Northern Tribes' envoys, confirming the marriage partner, preparing the dowry and sending the bride."
Hearing Mo Xiuyao's words, Ye Li couldn't help but frown. "You need to confirm the marriage partner to receive the Northern Tribes' envoys?" Mo Xiuyao looked at her with a smile, "In reality, you need to be in charge of confirming the marriage partner. So these days, you will probably be very busy and won't be able to go out of the city. " Ye Li weakly waved her hand. She didn't even need to imagine what would happen when the news spread out. Which noble in the capital would be willing to marry their daughter to the Northern Tribes, a barren place? She was afraid that tomorrow, the people who came to plead for her would break the threshold of the Prince Ding Mansion. The worst thing was that she couldn't choose no one, but no matter who she chose, she would definitely offend people. So, the emperor wanted to make more enemies for the Prince Ding Mansion?
"There are people watching over there, so I don't have to run out of the city every day. But what do you think about the marriage partner?"
Mo Xiuyao thought for a while and said, "The emperor's thoughts are hinting that the eldest daughter of the Hua Family is the most suitable. The Empress Dowager prefers Princess Rong Hua, but the Empress Dowager can't say anything now. In addition, the third daughter of the Liu Family and Princess Shun Cheng are also candidates. But they are not very eye-catching. I'm afraid the Northern Tribes won't agree. " Ye Li frowned and said, "So, it is very likely that the final choice will be between Tian Xiang and Princess Rong Hua? Since the emperor likes Tian Xiang, why didn't he make the decree himself? " Mo Xiuyao smiled and said, "He is now having a headache. So, he naturally wants us to offend people. I know that you and Miss Hua are good friends, so it's not a big deal to remove her. Later, you can just pick one of the princesses of the Royal Family. "
As long as people have selfish motives, Ye Li and Hua Tian Xiang have a good relationship. So, naturally, she didn't want Hua Tian Xiang to be chosen for the marriage. Ye Li couldn't help but feel annoyed when she was assigned the task of choosing a candidate for the marriage alliance. No matter who she chose to handle this matter, she would feel guilty. She would rather risk her life on the battlefield than handle this matter cleanly. Seeing Ye Li frown, Mo Xiuyao just shook his head slightly and said indifferently, "Being in the Royal Family, they are supported by the people. Whether it is the marriage or dying on the battlefield, it is their fate. Li doesn't have to feel sorry. "
