502. Summon Chunxiang; Prepare for the Countermeasure

Translator: Guy Gone Bad

Yan Shengrui also grew some interest. Anything that could frustrate those people, he was all interested. Anyway, in recent years, they’d be no wars at the boarders.

“No. you only need to eat well and play well at home with the little buns at home. Oh right, doesn’t His Majesty care about his face a lot? After going into the palace, if Her Empress Dowager summons me using some excuse, you take the kids to greet their imperial uncles. This is the first time they meet, as their seniors, shouldn’t they give the kids some gifts?”

Later, he’d go teach his little buns. Who would think he has too much gold and jewelries? Why not? He happened to be kind of handy for buying those storefronts.

“All right. I know what you mean. There is an adult-high deep sea red coral in my imperial elder brother’s study, tributed by a small kingdom at the boarders, priceless. It seems he quite treasures it.”

Yan Shengrui immediately knew what his wife meant and decisively ‘colluded with’ his wife to calculate His Majesty. Hadn’t he always flaunted that he only used the best everything?

“Yeah, that’s it. Oh right, is there any place that we can find some servants who knows martial arts in the capital?”

The two of them gave each other a look, then this thing was settled. Turning to going into the study, Ling Jingxuan suddenly turned to ask. After the day after, all those big families of the whole capital would know them. He was totally fine with it, but the kids were different. He needed to train a group of trustworthy servants.

As for Yan Yi and others, firstly, they were Yan Shengrui’s people, who were only loyal to Yan Shengrui, although it was nothing, anyway what belonged to Yan Shengrui also belonged to him. But he just felt it kind of weird. Besides, those things he planned to do were not suitable for them to do. Secondly, they were not merely shadow guards, but also commanders in the army. It was fine if there were no wars. Once the wars broke out, they’d definitely have to go to the battlefield with Shengrui. And by then, without some his own trustworthy people, who could he count on to work for him then? If he had to do everything himself, wouldn’t he exhaust himself?

“I guess just some jack of all trades but master of none. I’m afraid they can’t even take three moves from you. Usually, all big families have their own shadow guards army, to train shadow guards for the kids. They’d train them at an early age. So, it’d be not that easy to find some suitable ones now. How about I collocate some of my shadow guards to you?”

Except his four personal shadow guards, he also had a group of Men of Sacrifice.

“No need. They need to do things for you. And your things all relate to the kingdom. I’d better find some myself.”

Of real capable people, they were neither in the army nor in the official circle, but in the prison, especially those desperadoes, who had brains, courage and impulsion. And inside the prison of the capital gathered all the recidivists of the Qing Kingdom. Would he need to worry he couldn’t pick some better ones in there? Although it might need him some time and special tricks to tame them, as long as those people approved of him, they’d definitely be loyal to him only. So, it was worth it even if he had to pay a lot of prices.

“Hehe…sometimes your thoughts are kind of peculiar, but it might be a chance. After the banquet, I will go check it out with you.”

Almost in an instant, Yan Shengrui understood his thoughts. And he even kind of expected it.

“Hmm, some other day, I will ask Brother Zhao to forge a batch of special weapons, then after I find the suitable people and train them, then I can put them by the little buns’ side. With them, Dahei and Xiaohei protecting them, and your shadow guards, and the poison I gave them, I’d like to see who is so unlucky enough to set their eyes on them.”

As a matter of fact, Ling Jingxuan had already thought it clearly. Compared with those little tricks against him, his kids were in a more dangerous situation.

“Don’t forget about yourself. You also have to stay safe.”

Pulling his hand, Yan Shengrui said with his eyes gleaming. He wouldn’t afford to the possibility of losing him.

“Those who can kill me haven’t been born.”

He was not bragging. Having been here for over a year, he had already recuperated, and all skills he had learnt in his other life and this life could be applied proficiently, plus his poison and silver needles skills, common people couldn’t hurt him a bit, including Yan Yi and others.

“Just in case.”

He couldn’t take any slight accident.

“Hehe…”

The deeper you love someone, the more you’d be swayed by considerations of losing that one, afraid of this and that. But Ling Jingxuan was expecting the day danger knocked on their door. And by then his man would know how capable he could be.
