Ye Li sighed with some melancholy. "If that is really the case … we should have cut off his other hand as well."
With that, the two looked at each other and smiled. In the end, a joke was just a joke. In the current situation, if they really fought to the death with the West-Hill, it would not benefit them or the Great Chu at all. Mo Xiuyao held the beautiful person in his arms. His warm gaze fell on the booklet on the table and flashed with a frightening cold light. Jhennam Of Gojoseon … he dared to covet the princess of the Ding Kingdom. Father had been too merciful when he only cut off one of his hands!
Mo Xiuyao's sudden return caused the Xiling Army, which had been advancing like a hot knife through butter, to stop in their tracks. But this kind of calm could not last for long. A few days later, the flames of war reignited. Although Xinyang had been retaken, including the North and South armies of Xiling, there were still five cities in the northwest of Da Chu State. Almost a third of the northwest land had fallen into the hands of the Xiling people. Because Mo Xiuyao had led his army to break through the blockade of the North Army and head straight for Xinyang, although Xinyang had been retaken, the surrounding areas were still occupied by the Xiling people. The entire city of Xinyang was surrounded by enemies on three sides. Although the city did not lack for food and military supplies, water was still a huge problem. Even though there were very few people left in the city, there was still a shortage of water for hundreds of thousands of people. It was not that Mo Xiuyao did not know about this problem, but the Da Chu State really needed an encouraging piece of news to rouse the monarch and calm the people. Retaking Xinyang was the best choice.
After Mo Xiuyao returned, Ye Li naturally returned the original military affairs to him. She only helped him with some trivial matters and instantly had a lot of free time. While the people that Lin Han had led to follow Mo Xiuyao to the Northern Tribes and the people that Qin Feng had led to gather information had all returned, Ye Li remembered something that had been delayed for a long time. She picked Mo Xiuyao and found him when he was free. Originally, there were 63 people who had been trained under Black Cloud Peak. Now, there were only 51 people here. The sacrifice of 12 people was negligible in other armies, but here, it was equivalent to losing almost one-sixth of their fighting power.
"This subordinate greets His Highness and Her Highness."
Mo Xiuyao nodded. "Rise." On the trip to the Northern Tribes, Mo Xiuyao had truly seen the fighting power of the people trained by Ye Li. At the same time, he became curious about this team.
"Thank you, Prince, Princess."
Mo Xiuyao smiled and nodded at Ye Li. Ye Li stood up and said, "Thank you for your hard work this time. Lin Han, Qin Feng, report the progress of each group."
Lin Han stepped forward and said, "Princess, of the eight people who went to the Northern Tribes this time, one died in battle, one was seriously injured. The remaining six all passed."
Qin Feng also stepped forward and said, "Princess, 55 people were divided into 11 groups. One group failed, seven died in battle, and three were injured."
Ye Li nodded slightly and said, "Zhuo Jing will take care of the funeral arrangements for the soldiers who died in battle and the injured. Now, everyone here is the last batch of people who passed this special training. Thank you for your hard work. I have already discussed this with the Prince. From today onwards, you will be officially incorporated into the Mohist army and will be personally commanded by the Prince and me. Codename "Qi Lin"! " Ye Li showed a jade pendant in her hand. It was very similar to the Yazi Jade Pendant that could command the entire Mohist army. However, the carving on it was a lifelike Qi Lin. At the same time, this would be their name from today onwards. From today onwards, they were Qi Lin!
Ye Li smiled and looked at the soldiers in front of her. Although they tried to appear calm, their eyes were still filled with excitement. She said in a low voice, "Everyone, what is Qi Lin?"
Everyone hesitated for a moment before someone answered, "Princess, Qi Lin is an auspicious beast."
Ye Li nodded and said, "That's right. Qi Lin is an auspicious beast. Qi Lin is not only an auspicious beast, but also a benevolent beast. Qi Lin has horns on its head and meat on its horns. It is a benevolent beast. I also hope that you can become a benevolent beast that protects the common people. When necessary, you can also be a sharp sword that stabs the enemy. "
Everyone said in unison, "We will follow Princess' instructions!"
Mo Xiuyao also said a few words of encouragement. Qin Feng and Lin Han stayed behind before letting everyone leave. When they returned to the study and sat down, Ye Li looked at Lin Han and asked, "How was the trip to the Northern Tribes?" Lin Han replied respectfully, "Everything went smoothly. Please rest assured, Princess." Ye Li nodded, looked sideways at Mo Xiuyao and asked, "Princess Rong Hua …" Mo Xiuyao said softly, "Although Princess Rong Hua is a little capricious, she is not a fool. Li, don't worry. She won't ruin it." Ye Li nodded and sighed softly, "That's good. Otherwise, this trip will be a big loss." Qin Feng stood aside and listened to the conversation between the two silently. Since the Princess and the Prince did not avoid him, it meant that they trusted him. He personally participated in the training of the first group of Qi Lin members, so he was very familiar with everyone. He naturally knew who the eight people that Lin Han brought out were and who came back.
Mo Xiuyao looked at Ye Li with a smile and said, "I haven't asked about Princess Li before. This time, on the trip to the Northern Tribes, I learned that Princess Li is not only in charge of the Prince's Mansion, but also in the battlefield. She is also very good at training soldiers." If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, even Mo Xiuyao would have found it hard to believe that such an army and soldiers existed in the world. It wasn't that their martial arts were very strong, nor was it that they were good at fighting. It was that they had mastered various skills on the battlefield, and their accuracy was shocking. Mo Xiuyao even thought that if such an army really appeared, how terrible it would be. Ye Li glanced at him and said, "These training methods use too much manpower and resources, and have high demands on the soldiers themselves. Using them on the battlefield with thousands of soldiers and horses does not have much practical use. It can be said that the losses do not outweigh the gains. "No one had been eliminated in this first training. But that was because these people were the best of the best, and many of them had been eliminated during the selection process. More importantly, this was the first time in this era that Ye Li was training the soldiers she wanted. Because many of the equipment and the fighting methods of the two eras were different, this time could only be considered an exploration. It was hard to say that these people met Ye Li's requirements.
Mo Xiuyao did not blink and looked with a smile at Ye Li. "Does Princess Li have any suggestions?"
Ye Li blinked and looked at Mo Xiuyao for a long time without saying anything. After a while, she said in a low voice, "Give me some time to think."
Mo Xiuyao did not care. It was fine as long as he achieved his goal. If Princess Li was not interested in these things, then he would hope that she would just be a leisurely Ding Country Wang Fei. But since Princess Li was interested and had the ability, he would not block her light.
After dealing with Mo Xiuyao, Ye Li turned to say to Qin Feng, "Starting today, you are the commander of Qi Lin. In the future, these people will be given to you."
Qin Feng nodded and said, "This subordinate will not betray Wang Fei's trust."
