Chapter 183
Chapter 183 - Just You Guys Are Enough
With their identity as Third Prince, finding a prisoner on death row was too easy. The two imperial physicians knew that she was a traitor who committed all sorts of crimes, and the burden on their hearts eased a little.
The medicinal effect could not be seen for a long period of time. Teng Yu told them to continue observing him, and when they return from Jiangnan, there should be an outcome.
The two of them walked out of the backyard and coincidentally met Han Sen, who had come to notify them. “Your Highness, Seventh Young Master, the Emperor has sent five hundred guards here.”
“Where?”
“This servant had someone arrange it on the training field in the northeast.”
Teng Yu nodded, and went back to his room to change his clothes before hurrying over.
This drill ground was what the guards used to practice. It wasn't big, but it was big enough to accommodate five hundred people.
Teng Yu and Yin Xu sat upright on chairs as they watched Han Qing take out the namelist to verify.
It was just as Teng Yu had guessed, the five hundred people sent by the Emperor all came from Capital Camp, not royal guards.
Yin Xu muttered in dissatisfaction, but he still accepted the reality.
Han Qing wrote his family background on a few notes after they mentioned their names. When he looked, he realized that quite a few of the soldiers who were sent over were from famous sects, and some were even the arch-enemies of the Third Prince.
He began to suspect that this was an intentional arrangement by the Emperor, but looking at the daily history books of these people, he once again rejected this idea.
The five hundred people who were sent were all the worst performing people who would drag them down. It was likely that the person who had chosen them had done so on purpose.
By the time Han Qing had verified the situation for the five hundred soldiers, half a day had passed. Under the sun in the west, the soldiers who had been under the scorching sun for half a day were drenched in sweat, their faces and ears flushed red.
Teng Yu and Yin Xu pretended not to see it, and only after Han Sen had sent the register over did Teng Yu walk up to them and say, “I know that you two are unwilling in your hearts, how about this, anyone who doesn't want to leave the Capital Camp will come forward, I promise I will send you all back unscathed. With Capital Camp in the tens of thousands of people, it's not like I can't worry about finding a substitute.”
Some people were moved, and raised their hearts to ask, “Your Highness, can you guarantee that we will receive the same treatment when we go back?” They were sent here on orders, how could it be so easy for them to return?
Teng Yu revealed a slight smile that he did not understand, “I can only guarantee that you will remain in your original positions after you return. As for the others, don't think too much about them.”
Everyone looked at each other, their hearts moved.
Many of them came from wealthy families in the capital, and entering the Capital Camp was just to muddle along. They normally did not have much to do, so their results were naturally not as good.
When the decree was passed down to the Capital Camp, they still didn't know about this. It was only when they were selected that they found out that their fates had undergone a major change.
The status of a soldier who had changed from a proper soldier of the imperial family into a private unit of a certain young master was far from satisfactory.
In fact, if they were to leave, they would lose face.
Although Yin Xu's background was good and his background was high, it was not to the point that she could make them serve his voluntarily.
At the beginning, there were only a few tens of people walking out. Some of them were leading the group, while the rest of the people walked out after thinking about it.
“Have you all thought it through? Once you make a decision, you can forget about it. ” Teng Yu's words were not only towards the people who stood up, but also towards the remaining people.
Han Qing swept his gaze over them. Counting the number, he discovered that nearly a hundred and fifty people had stood out, and the situation was much better than he had expected.
He whispered the number into Teng Yu's ear and reported. Teng Yu nodded and waved to bring the one hundred and fifty people back.
After they left, Yin Xu got up from his seat and walked around the remaining three hundred and fifty people.
“After this moment, you are all my, Huo Tian's, people, so you will definitely rejoice at the decision you made today in the future!” Yin Xu said loudly, “A person's entire life is simply for the sake of fame, power, money, and beauties. All of these, this young master can satisfy you.”
“But, all of you have to remember, if you dare to betray this young master's men, you must bear the consequences. Believe me, it's not as simple as death!”
Everyone shivered, not knowing whether they should regret their previous decision or not.
This young master looked young, but he was actually the most popular man in the capital. Rumors had it that he was both good and bad.
Most of the people who stayed behind came from Humble Class, and didn't have very outstanding abilities, so they naturally wouldn't be able to survive in the Capital Camp.
Ever since they had stepped into the Third Prince Mansion, their hearts had been hanging by a thread, worried for their own future.
Fortunately, this young master had some ability, and the news of what happened in the Imperial Palace had already spread throughout the entire army camp. The three formations were described as extremely exquisite, or else they would rather return than follow him.
A young soldier stepped forward, straightened his back and asked, “Commander Huo, is it appropriate for this lowly official to ask a question?”
“Speak.”
The soldier took a deep breath and said loudly, “Can you teach us formations?”
“You all wish to learn Formation Techniques?” Yin Xu laughed, “That won't do, you all temporarily don't have the qualifications, even if you have the qualifications, you may not have the talent.”
Everyone's expression of loss entered Yin Xu's eyes, he added: “However, I can teach you another type of formation, one that uses humans to invincible.”
Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up as they said in unison, “We will follow the general to the death!”
Although Yin Xu was an envoy from the Palace, he was still at the third stage, so it was not out of line for him to be called General.
“But I have something to say first. When practicing this array formation, you must have a certain amount of physical qualities and understand the knowledge of the array formation. You must also practice a special cultivation method. With your current level, you cannot!”
“I will definitely go all out!” These people were not lazy people, they were only limited by their identity and status, and did not have enough resources to learn from. When they heard that Huo Family's Seventh Young Masters was willing to put in so much effort to cultivate them, they were naturally extremely happy.
Although following a born young master seemed to have a boundless future, as long as he learnt enough, he would be able to shine no matter where he went in the future.
Moreover, this person was even a descendant of Huo Family, who knows, maybe they would even be lucky enough to enter Huo Family Army in the future.
With such beautiful wishes, the gazes that everyone looked at Yin Xu with were incomparably fervent.
Yin Xu secretly nodded his head, having morale was the first step to success. If he really wanted to send a batch to him but was unable to improve, then he would have to spend twice the effort to nurture him well.
“Very good, then I don't need those people. You guys are enough.”
The trust between people was mutual. The three hundred and fifty soldiers raised their heads and puffed up their chests in a magnificent manner.
Teng Yu ordered his men to arrange these people in the backyard, but luckily Yin Xu had chased away all the men and women in the backyard, clearing a huge space as he settled down a few hundred people without a problem.
Returning to Scenic Garden, the two immediately saw Han Sen packing their luggage. This time, Steward Han wanted to follow them no matter what, as Jiang Nan was like a dragon's lagoon or a tiger's lair, even with the protection of a few hundred guards, he was still worried.
Seeing them enter, Han Sen put down the things he was doing, closed the door, and said softly: “Your Highness, there's news from the palace. Lai Jiquan has made his move.”
“Oh? He's going to the Cold Palace? ” Teng Yu's eyes changed, she looked extremely sharp.
Ever since he knew that he was the one who drugged him, Teng Yu had never relaxed in his surveillance. But this person's martial arts were high, it was impossible for him to follow him around the clock.
“Yes, our spies in the imperial kitchens have sent us news. Before he went to the cold palace in the past, he would have the imperial kitchens specially prepare a dish that he liked. This time was no exception.”
“Alright, tell the people in the palace not to act rashly for the time being. They should be careful not to alert the enemy.”
“Yes, this servant has already given the orders.”
After Yin Xu heard this, he understood what was going on. He got up and went into the room to change into a new set of inconspicuous clothes, “I'll go take a look.”
“Let's go together!” Teng Yu blocked him and insisted on following him.
“Didn't we agree on it last time?” Yin Xu helplessly looked at the person who was blocking him from beginning to end, and said: “I only watch from afar, and will not make a move. Furthermore, I know the terrain of the Cold Palace, and it is sparsely populated, so it is unlikely for me to be discovered.”
Teng Yu shook his head and looked at him stubbornly.
In the end, Yin Xu still lost, “Alright, in terms of stubbornness, this young master really can't compare to you!”
Teng Yu finally changed his expression into a gentle one and thought to himself: How can I not be stubborn when dealing with you?
In truth, Yin Xu was not someone who would easily change his mind and be moved, but who asked him to do that? This His Highness The Prince whose skin was comparable to that of the city walls, was able to grind people with a skill that was not inferior to his skin thickness.
