"Jiujiu, rest assured, the Elite Guards haven't contracted ticks, nor have they suffered from other illnesses. I've already led the Elite Guards to spray the residence with medicinal water and taught them preventive measures. By the way, Jiujiu, among them five show a remarkable talent for medicine—what do you think?"
"Besides their routine training, these five will also learn medical skills, so they can become Seventh Brother's strong supporters in the future. The other Elite Guards also need to learn the basics of medicine and pharmacology. In addition, I want to select another seven outstanding guards with special skills for intense training."
Sensing the confusion of her brothers, Yang Mengchen explained, "Next spring, Second Brother will head to the battlefield, and in these few months, I intend to train seven Elite Guards in assassination, intelligence gathering, searching, rescue, interrogation, undercover and counter-undercover operations, breaking in and breaking out, tracking and counter-tracking, psychological tactics, disguise techniques, as well as land, water, field, and urban combat, etc.
On the battlefield, these seven will become the sharp knives in Second Brother's hands, ensuring not only his own safety but also his overwhelming victory."
"Second Brother is going to the battlefield after the spring?" Yang Chengbin asked in surprise, and the other seven brothers were also astonished.
Yang Mengchen nodded, "Old Hai, as the Imperial Teacher, naturally has a keen eye; I think he must have recognized Second Brother's military talents and informed Prince Chen. If my guess is correct, Prince Chen will propose sending Second Brother to the battlefield by tomorrow at the latest."
Yang Chengning was startled at first, then became ecstatic. He could fulfill his longstanding ambition so soon—that was fantastic!
Compared to Yang Chengning's joy, the other seven brothers felt noticeably downhearted; after all, they had never been separated from each other, and Second Brother was going to such a perilous battlefield.
"Second Brother has always dreamt of joining the army. Now that his wish can come true, we should be happy and support him with all our might, don't you agree?" Though Yang Mengchen was reluctant to part with Second Brother, she believed that it was a man's aspiration to make his mark in the world, so she couldn't selfishly hinder Second Brother's ambition to soar.
"Jiujiu is right!" Yang Chengrong suppressed his gloomy feelings, "Not only must we support Second Brother, but we must also take good care of our home so that Second Brother can fight bravely and achieve great things on the battlefield without any worries."
Yang Cheng'an nodded and added, "I will prepare more medicines for injuries and poison, giving Second Brother an extra layer of protection."
"I will forge weapons that perfectly suit Second Brother," declared Yang Chengyu, showing his support through action.
"When on the battlefield, Second Brother, don't skimp on Silver Coins where needed. If you run out, just send me a letter and I'll have people deliver more right away," Yang Chenghong said boldly, "Once our family shops start rolling in money, there will be plenty of Silver Coins. Second Brother can take as much as needed to smooth things over and avoid unnecessary trouble.
I'm right, aren't I, Jiujiu?"
"Sixth Brother makes sense. It's said the King of Hell is easy to meet but the little devils are tough to deal with; it's those little devils who often stab you in the back. Second Brother must remain inscrutable and unfazed. Moreover, although the battlefield may not be as dark as the bureaucratic arena, it abounds with just as many schemes and machinations.
Aside from military affairs, Second Brother should learn more from Old Hai about how to conduct himself with finesse, which will be entirely beneficial to him," Yang Mengchen advised.
Struggling to contain his emotions, Yang Chengning nodded firmly, "Rest assured, Jiujiu, I will study diligently and always remember your teachings!"
"Prince Chen clings to Jiujiu every day—how can Jiujiu personally train seven Elite Guards?" Not just Yang Chengxuan, but all the Yang brothers disliked Prince Chen, feeling as if he were trying to snatch their sister away.
Yang Mengchen smiled, "Third Brother, don't worry, I'll find a way to deal with him."
It wasn't until late at night that Yang Mengchen left her brothers' room and returned to her own.
Standing by the slightly open window, Long Xuanmo watched Yang Mengchen return to her room across the way, then turned off the light to rest, his dark eyes unfathomable.
