"Ahem..."
Ye Fen coughed violently after swallowing the tea.
"Father?" Ye Liyan quickly stood up and patted Ye Fen's back.
"I'm fine, I'm fine..." Ye Fen waved to show that he was fine.
Shen Yi'an turned his head in embarrassment when he saw this. Look, how embarrassing it is to say this.
Because the two people think from completely different perspectives. Ye Fen thinks about the country and power level, while he thinks about the personal level.
"I find His Highness's method refreshing. You are worthy of Your Highness."
Ye Fenda laughed.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, alas, His Highness is still too young. They can naturally think of this method, but it is impossible to implement it.
They once planned to form an elite cavalry of 800 people to go deep into the barbarian territory, and specifically select these mercenaries and caravans to attack. They might succeed once or twice. Once the barbarian masters are alerted to encircle and suppress them, these 800 elite cavalry will never return. , they were unable to provide any support in Saibei City.
Over the years, they had fought countless battles with the barbarians, and every time they defended first and then attacked. Even if the barbarians fled, they would not pursue them too far out of the city, in order to avoid a small loss.
Over time, except for cavalry, almost all infantry are good at defense but not good at offense. If the two armies confront each other and the strength of both sides is the same, the outcome is completely unknown.
Shen Yian apologized in embarrassment, his toes almost digging out a palace.
I just laughed it off as a joke, but the rest of the conversation was quite useful.
Most mercenaries and thieves groups have no religion at all. If they do, money may be their religion.
Why do you live a life of licking blood on the tip of a knife every day?
It's all about money, and its nature is somewhat similar to Tianluo, the world's number one killer organization. If you give it enough money, you'll work.
Ye Fen said confusedly: "Your Highness, do you mean to hire these guys and let them deal with you?"
How can this be? Paying barbarians to deal with barbarians?
If they really could do this, why would they bother training new recruits? It would be easier to hire these guys directly.
Shen Yi'an shrugged and smiled: "If you give me enough money, there will always be some guys who are willing to help. Whose money is not earned?"
Not to mention wanted ones, there are only a few guys who are clean enough to work as mercenaries and thieves. If the barbarian country can't survive, they will go elsewhere. The world is so big that they can't go anywhere.
There is no need to hire these guys to defend the city. It is enough to hire these guys to attack some mercenary organizations and guilds that often participate in going south, and let them consume internally.
The idea is good, but the actual implementation is extremely troublesome. All aspects such as money, contacts, etc. need to be carefully considered. If something goes wrong, it is easy to be labeled as a collaborator.
As the night got darker, Ye Fen took a step ahead because he was going to inspect the city wall. Before leaving, he specifically told the two of them to contact the adjutant if they had anything to do. The adjutant would help them solve it.
Shen Yian and Ye Liyan did not return to the Chamber of Commerce, but went directly to the room prepared by Ye Fen to rest.
"What's wrong, husband? What are you thinking about?" Ye Liyan made the sobering tea and asked curiously when she saw Shen Yian sitting on the chair, lost in thought.
"Thinking about something."
Shen Yian came back to his senses and smiled.
Today when we were having dinner, we discussed the matter of mercenaries, and he subconsciously thought of Tianluo.
Although Tianluo may be regarded as a killer organization, in fact, they are given enough money and they can also take on some odd jobs. Their business level is a benchmark in the industry and they are worthy of being number one in the world.
My own hidden guards now have missions, and they cannot stay in Saibei City for a long time.
The current situation is changing day by day. He is really afraid that the Demon Cult or the barbarians will not play their cards according to the routine. It is possible that the two will work together.
Ye Fen combined with the sword talisman he gave is enough to make most masters hate him, but it is still not enough to face multiple masters of equal strength.
Just in case, he planned to hire Tianluo's Tianbang killer to protect Ye Fen secretly. If he spends more money, he will spend more. If the money is gone, he can earn it again. If his life is gone, he will have nothing. Anyway, no matter how much money you save, you can make more money. There are too many, but the old man can't stop him from killing him on a whim.
"Husband, you have worked hard these past two days." Ye Liyan said with heartache.
"What's so hard about this?"
Shen Yi'an smiled hoarsely and said that the only unexpected thing about this trip was Yin Tiansha, which made him stretch his muscles. Other than that, he felt that it was no different from traveling. It was a happy thing to travel with the one he loved. .
"Husband, I'm going to get you foot-washing water."
Putting the tea cup on the table beside Shen Yian, Ye Liyan turned around and trotted out of the room.
"Why?"
Shen Yian chuckled lightly and took back the hand he just extended.
However, speaking of washing feet, after you finish washing yourself, can you also give Ye Liyan a wash?
He definitely didn't want to pinch his feet, he just simply loved his wife, yes, loved his wife!
While waiting, there was a sudden noise inside and outside the general's mansion, and many soldiers holding torches quickly shuttled through the streets and alleys.
"Hidden disaster, what happened?" Shen Yian put down his teacup and asked in a deep voice.
"Back to Your Highness, some barbarian spies have climbed over the city wall."
Hidden disaster took the initiative to ask Ying and said: "Your Highness, why don't you go down and solve the problem."
"No, I, the king, will come."
Shen Yian sighed, it was such an eventful time, and took out a wooden sword from his sleeve and flew out of the door.
In Saibei City, six barbarian spies have dispersed and released flares into the air, as if to convey some signal. Their mission here is very simple, acting as bait to attract attention and help their companions behind to hide in the city.
A red light drew a red line under the black curtain and passed through the bodies of the six barbarian spies in sequence.
After a long circle, the wooden sword turned around and flew towards the city wall with the force of breaking wind. More than ten barbarians disguised as Ganjun soldiers were all killed under the city wall.
"Husband, something seems to have happened outside."
Ye Liyan said worriedly after returning to the room with a wooden basin.
Shen Yian, who was concentrating on manipulating the wooden sword, came back to his senses: "It seems that the barbarian spies have been discovered. They should have been solved. I heard that the noise outside was much quieter."
"The barbarians have been acting very frequently recently."
Ye Liyan put down the wooden basin, it was impossible not to worry in her heart.
If a full-scale war breaks out between the two countries, I am afraid that even my grandfather will go into battle. At that time, my husband will naturally be included...
"What are you thinking about again?" Shen Yian couldn't help but pinch Ye Liyan's little face and said with a smile.
"It's nothing, my husband, please stretch your legs."
Ye Liyan said softly, reaching out to grab Shen Yian's feet.
"It's better for the husband to do things like foot washing by himself."
"Let me help husband."
"My feet stink, aren't you afraid of the stink?"
"Why would Li Yan dislike her husband?"
After burning the incense, Ye Liyan sat on the chair with a blushing face and said, "Husband, I can do it myself."
"No, you just washed me, now it's my husband's turn."
After changing the basin of water, Shen Yi'an said seriously while holding his white and tender feet.
She is indeed my wife, those little feet are really pretty.
No, why did he feel like he was going to become a foot controller?
The soles of Ye Liyan's feet were relatively sensitive, and she couldn't help but make a squeaking sound when being kneaded by big hands, and she almost couldn't control herself from stepping on her husband's face.
"Husband, did you take too long to wash..."
"Ahem, do you want to try the new foot massage you learned for me?"
"Foot massage?"
"That's right!" (very serious)
At the city wall, Ye Fen inspected the bodies of the barbarian spies and said in a solemn voice: "Continue to search, no one can escape."
Is this scar a sword?
Could it be that the swordsman master hiding in the city came to help?
"Yes, General!"
Turning around, Ye Fen looked in the direction of the General's Mansion with some worry, thinking that tonight's events would not scare the two children again.
