Hearing this, Liu Jia sneered and said,
"Return to the prince. Nowadays, the four kings stand side by side and the vassal towns are divided. The four kings almost occupy the vast majority of the territory of the Gale Kingdom. The governors from all over the country support their own troops and are either loyal to each king or independent. Who cares about the royal family? .
This prince even came to our side. I really don’t know how he got here alive.
Such a person still needs your godfather to greet him personally? "
Liu Hu smiled and shook his head and said,
"After all, he is a prince. Nowadays, although the imperial power has declined and the kings are divided, it has been five hundred years since Dafeng Kingdom Zuo, and the royal family still has prestige in the hearts of the people.
Besides, if something happens to the prince, I won't be afraid of the emperor causing trouble for me. But what if King Pingxi leads troops into the city to investigate the prince's murder?
But I can't give him a reason to criticize me, so I still have to see this prince in person and protect him. "
"Okay, I won't worry about you big shots. I'll just run my business well and make money for you, godfather."
"Hahaha, I know you are filial. During this period, you should live in the county town first. After I destroy Qingfeng Village, you can return to Qingshui County."
"good."
…
Qingfeng Village.
"One two one! One two one! One two three four!"
"one two three four!"
Neat shouts came from the school grounds, with voices from both men and women.
I saw a neat team in black clothes, running at a constant speed around the school grounds. There were men in the front, more than a hundred people in total, and women in the back, only a lot more than the men.
The girls were sweating profusely on the school field, gritting their teeth and persisting. Even if there were some who fell behind, their peers would force them forward.
Because he couldn't complete the task, he not only had no food, but also had to undergo additional training.
No one wants to be unable to eat. If you don’t eat, you will have no energy and it will be even more difficult to complete subsequent tasks.
The soldiers in the middle of the school field were all laughing and laughing at the female shadow guards, pointing and pointing as if they were laughing. It was so lively.
Qi Huan and Qiu Ying were very dissatisfied when they saw this scene, but they had nothing to do.
At this moment, Nie Chen came over with several people carrying several boxes.
"Qi Huan, Qiu Ying, this is what I made for you."
Nie Chen waved and called the two of them.
The two immediately stepped forward and looked at the box Nie Chen carried.
Nie Chen opened the box and revealed a dazzling array of things inside. Qi Huan asked curiously,
"Second Master, what are these?"
Nie Chen pointed to the items in the box and introduced them one by one,
"You see, this is called a dart. It has four corners. You can throw it out with your wrist. No matter which direction it hits the enemy, one side will always be able to pierce into the enemy's body."
"This is called the Hidden Blade. It is tied to the arm and can be disguised with the sleeve. It has a mechanism and can kill people by raising its hand."
"This is called a soft sword. The hilt is a buckle, wrapped in black cloth. It can be disguised as a belt. It is usually tied to the waist. When using it, press the buckle and the soft sword will pop out automatically. Just hold it. Kill the enemy."
"This is poison, and this is Mongolian sweat medicine. I asked Li Yuanjun to research these. When the time comes, each brother who goes on a mission can carry it with him."
"Coupled with the repeated crossbows, these weapons will definitely greatly increase your combat effectiveness and make your actions unfavorable."
Qi Huan and Qiu Ying's jaws almost dropped when they saw these weapons, and they couldn't put it down while holding them.
Qi Huan said,
"Just in time, the training of the first batch of Shadow Guards has been completed and they are ready to go on missions. They can be equipped with these weapons so that they can protect themselves well when performing missions."
"Second Master, you are so amazing. You are able to invent so many different kinds of weapons. My little girl is really knowledgeable."
Qiuying also praised him repeatedly.
Nie Chen smiled slightly and said,
"It's a small thing. When I came here just now, I saw you looking worried. Is there something wrong?"
Qi Huan smiled and said,
"It's nothing. It's just that there are a lot of women in our Shadow Guards. When they are running and exercising, the soldiers are always laughing and joking. This makes them feel very uncomfortable. They feel like they are being laughed at. There are many women. I’m so thin-skinned that I’m giving up.”
Nie Chen said seriously,
"It's not okay to be thin-skinned. These secret guards have very special tasks to perform. Not only do they need to be bold and careful, but they also need to be thick-skinned and perseverant.
However, it is really not appropriate for the Shadow Guards to train physically in the school grounds. They were originally a group of big men, and it was okay to train shirtless. Now that there are women around, these soldiers are too embarrassed to take off their clothes.
Let's do this. Let's send out the first batch of Shadow Guards first. When the second batch comes, they will train on the mountain roads to practice climbing and lurking in the mountains and forests. They will train in the morning and study theory classes in the afternoon. You will teach them. The skills of lurking and detecting are a combination of work and rest. "
"Okay, it's up to you."
Qi Huan smiled.
Then, Qi Huan called all the shadow guards over.
When these women heard that they no longer had to be watched by those big men running, they were all overjoyed. They hurriedly divided up their weapons and threatened to go out on missions to prove their abilities.
Seeing their energetic expressions, Nie Chen smiled and then said to Qi Huan,
“Actually, it’s better to use our people as the core members of the Shadow Guard, but in the future, when we get bigger, we can still develop offline people, bribe outside people, and let them use their positions to provide convenience for us.
Just arrange this yourself, you have more experience than me. "
"OK."
Qi Huan doesn't talk much. He just does whatever he needs to do directly.
On the same day, Qi Huan arranged for his capable general Li Mo to lead a group of people towards the county government, focusing on exploring the county government's intelligence.
Qingshui County, Tiantai County, and Longxing County in Weihu County also arranged personnel to investigate.
After all, the team has been pulled together, and it is unjustifiable not to play some role.
Nie Chen fully agreed with Qi Huan's approach. Although the current leader did not have the ambition to conquer the city, he believed that people would change. As more and more soldiers and horses were under his command, people's Ambition will continue to expand.
Nie Chen was no longer satisfied with a small Qingfeng Village. This place was too small. With so many soldiers and horses, the training place seemed overcrowded, not to mention there were so many workers and craftsmen.
He needs a larger place to produce and obtain resources.
Of course, even if they don't attack the city and plunder the territory, the Shadow Guards' intelligence exploration can also let Qingfeng Village know the major and minor events in various places in advance, so that they can respond quickly and protect their own safety.
At least, we must first understand all the situations in Weihu County.
