Ye Li shook her head and said helplessly, "These princesses are all spoiled and pampered. Who knows how much they would suffer if they were to marry into the Northern Tribes. If the two countries really wanted to marry each other, then it would be fine. But this … "It was obvious that it was just for show. Both countries knew that the princess was just a useless sacrifice. If the two countries did not marry each other, they would not fight for a while. If they did marry each other, it was impossible for them to not fight. It was just that they were not prepared for it yet. Ye Li was not someone who could not make decisions, but she hated this kind of meaningless sacrifice.
Knowing that she was not in a good mood, Mo Xiuyao did not continue this topic. He smiled and said, "What did you do outside the city today? You borrowed eight experts from me and transferred people from the Mohist army's Black Cloud Cavalry and Shadow Guard. What do you want to do? Is Miss Li really not going to tell me? "
Ye Li looked up and smiled, "I am still in the experimental stage. I want to see what I can do in these few months. I will tell you when I have the results. If it doesn't work, I will return them to you. "Mo Xiuyao thought for a while and said," What does Miss Li want to train a group of people for? The Shadow Guards around you are all pretty well trained. Yesterday, the Shadow Guard Commander even asked me if he could ask you to train his subordinates. I heard that in Yonglin, the two by your side took care of my Shadow Guard? "
"It was just a sneak attack." Ye Li smiled.
"It is not easy to sneak attack." As a Shadow Guard, they were used to being in the dark and being on guard at all times. If these people could be sneak attacked by two people, it proved that they were stronger. Ye Li smiled, "When this group of people comes out, I can send a few to be your guards." Mo Xiuyao nodded, "I will wait and see. If Miss Li can really train a group of experts, these people can be your guards."
"That's too wasteful." Ye Li shook her head and smiled. "You'll know what they can do when the time comes. 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 wanted them to become a secret force. "
Ye Li smiled faintly and said, "Of course, we still need to keep it a secret. However, what we need to hide is their numbers, where they are stationed, their true strength, and their detailed identities. We don't need to hide their achievements or their existence. If it was really as I imagined, their existence would be known sooner or later, and it would be impossible for them to hide. I hope that they will be rewarded like normal soldiers, and those who are capable will be promoted. "The Black Cloud Cavalry was still a proper army, but the Shadow Guard was a bit of a scam. Except for a few who could stand out from the crowd, almost all the Shadow Guards could only be Shadow Guards for the rest of their lives. They didn't have an honorable identity, no promotion, no glory, no friends, and they couldn't even get married and have children. Most of them were too old to be Shadow Guards. Although they were supported by the king's palace, they weren't young anymore. Most of their lives were ruined. Like this, there weren't any traitors in the Ding King's palace's Shadow Guard. It could only be said that the ancient people placed great importance on loyalty and righteousness.
Mo Xiuyao lowered his head and thought for a moment before saying, "Li didn't treat the people by your side as Shadow Guards from the start. An Yi went to the army, and with his strength that could be considered outstanding among the Shadow Guard, it was only a matter of time before he stood out. An Si went to Xi Ling to handle some matters. As for the An Er and An San by your side, you should also teach them some of the things on the surface to handle. "
Ye Li smiled and said, "Whether it is their ability or intelligence, they are much stronger than most people. However, most of their lives can only be hidden in the dark. I feel that it is too much of a waste of talent. Moreover ….. the human heart is something that is very difficult to understand. Perhaps one day they won't want to hide in the dark anymore? If that day really comes, the consequences will be even more serious than not having a Shadow Guard. Therefore, if they have the ability and are willing to be used by me, I naturally can't treat them unfairly. Of course ….. if someone wants to betray me, I won't be merciful! "
Mo Xiuyao thought for a moment and said, "Li's words are reasonable, but ….. Li might not know that there are actually many large families that have their own hidden powers. Especially those like the personal Shadow Guard, they know too many secrets of their masters, so the control is very strict. In some families, the Shadow Guard who knows too much will be silenced in the end. "
Ye Li said, "Then it's also impossible ….. to give the Shadow Guard the same military position or other ranks, and the same clear rewards and punishments. After a certain number of years, they will be transferred to the Black Cloud Cavalry or the Mohist army? "Mo Xiuyao was a bit curious and said with a smile," What does Li Li have in mind? "
Ye Li said, "If I am satisfied with the results of this training, these people should be able to serve before the age of 35. After 35, they will not be allowed to leave and will be transferred to the Mohist army with the same rank. Of course, if they have other abilities and interests, they can also consider civil service or other positions. This is just a thought. In any case, the people haven't even been trained yet, so there is still time to consider this problem. "
Mo Xiuyao raised his eyebrows and said, "I understand, Li Li wants to pave the way for their future, right?"
Ye Li nodded and looked at Mo Xiuyao with a serious expression, "I once heard a saying. The soldiers have already shed blood for the country, so they shouldn't be allowed to shed any more tears. There are also those retired veterans and injured soldiers, their days aren't easy. However, I can't care so much right now, so I have to at least settle down the people under me. " Because she used to be a soldier, but the treatment in her previous life was naturally much better than the people in this life. In ancient times, being a soldier wasn't a glorious profession. Good men didn't become soldiers, and good iron didn't make nails. Many people joined the army because they had no other choice.
"Although I don't know why Li Li would have such thoughts, I will think about it carefully." Mo Xiuyao looked at the woman who was deep in thought and said softly.
Early in the morning, Ye Li received the Empress' summons from the palace. In fact, she was already impressed by Mo Jingqi's patience that the Emperor didn't summon her to the palace as soon as they returned to the capital. With Ye Li's current status, in the entire capital, other than the Emperor, the Empress, and the Empress Dowager, no one could casually request to see her. However, the Empress Dowager could be said to be under house arrest by Mo Jingqi. Last time, something happened when Ye Li entered the palace. Prince Ding could completely refuse the Emperor's summons to Princess Ding, so he summoned her in the name of the Empress.
The Empress summoned Ye Li in the name of admiring flowers. It was said that the begonia flowers in the imperial garden bloomed beautifully, so the Empress ordered all the noble madams in the capital to welcome Princess Ding and admire the flowers at the same time. Seeing the flowers in the imperial garden, Ye Li vaguely remembered that this year's Hundred Flower Festival had already ended. She couldn't help but smile. She was busy all day outside, so how could she still remember the festival that the noble ladies in the capital were longing for? Ye Li wanted to enter the palace, and Mo Xiuyao didn't care whether he had received the Empress' invitation and directly followed her. It was obvious that he didn't trust the royal family. Mo Jingqi was so angry that his face turned black, but he couldn't say anything. After all, the matter of the Empress Dowager's disappearance had yet to be investigated.
