"My Beloved Teacher's Wife (Walking with Love)" - Chapter 136: The Fierce Tiger Guard

I spent a whole hour happily reading with the Empress in the Southern Study, almost missing lunchtime. I am the Emperor.
After having lunch with the Queen.
"Your Majesty, Zhaoyang said that she wants to hold an event for young ladies from wealthy families in the Imperial Garden in the next two days, inviting all the unmarried young ladies in the capital to participate! When do you think would be a suitable time to hold it?" the Empress asked softly.
Ling Feng thought to himself that he had already taken all the young ladies and beauties of the capital into his harem, so what other beauties could there be? He immediately said, "You don't need to ask me about this; you can decide for yourselves."
The Empress glanced at Ling Feng and said, "But Zhao Yang wants the Emperor to attend the ceremony as well."
Ling Feng said, "It depends. I'm busy with state affairs lately, and I don't want to get involved in romantic matters. Sometimes I'd rather spend more time with the Empress and the concubines!"
The Empress was pleased to hear this and said, "It's best that Your Majesty thinks this way! Then I will convey Your Majesty's wishes to Zhaoyang."
Ling Feng said, "You don't need to be so blunt. That would hurt the pride of Consort Zhao and the others. They have nothing to do in the palace, which must be very boring. Just let them pick any auspicious day to hold the meeting. I will attend to show my support, which will also be a way to encourage Consort Zhao."
"Your Majesty, you are truly thoughtful. I now know how to reply to Zhaoyang," the Empress said, nodding.
"Your Majesty, lately the ladies have been saying that you always seem to disappear at night..."
"Your Majesty, you have asked me many questions today. I know what you want to say, but you must understand that I am the ruler of this country. I can go wherever I want and I do not want to be interfered with by others. Do you understand?"
Ling Feng said seriously.
The Empress was a perceptive woman; she could see the Emperor's displeasure, so she immediately fell silent. She nodded and replied, "Your Majesty, I understand."
Ling Feng said, "Empress, I am preparing to go to Mount Tai to perform the Fengshan ceremony. I have three thousand concubines in my harem, and it is impossible to take them all. You and the Empress Dowager should discuss which people can accompany me and which people should stay behind. You can make your own decisions and then report the list to me!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will take care of this matter in a moment." The Empress was overjoyed to hear the Emperor's order. The fact that the Emperor was entrusting her with this task indicated a relationship of trust.
Ling Feng said, "Recently, there has been unrest around our Great Ming Dynasty. I estimate that the journey will not be very safe. It would be best if the concubines accompanying us all had some martial arts skills, so that they could at least protect themselves."
"Your Majesty understands." The Empress nodded.
Speaking of the Fengshan ceremony at Mount Tai, Ling Feng suddenly missed Yang Hui. He wondered how Yang Hui was doing with the Imperial Guards. Originally, the Imperial Guards were responsible for palace security, but since Ling Feng organized the Pink Army, they had all been transferred out of the palace to provide security in the Imperial City. He'd heard Yang Hui mention recently that he was going to gather half of the Imperial Guards to form a highly effective combat force, capable of conducting expeditions if necessary. It had been a month or two since he'd last seen him. He immediately sent word to arrange his journey to the Imperial Guards' camp.
The Imperial Guard was stationed west of Zhongnanhai in the Forbidden City. The Forbidden City was actually larger than the Imperial Palace, encompassing Beihai Park, Zhongnanhai, the Altar of the Land and Grain, and the Imperial Ancestral Temple. The government offices of various departments were located outside the south gate of the Forbidden City. The Forbidden City served as a buffer and protective barrier around the Imperial Palace. Previously, the Imperial Guards were responsible for the security of the Forbidden City, while the Imperial Guards were responsible for the Imperial Palace. However, due to the establishment of the Pink Guards, the Imperial Guards took over the management of the Forbidden City, while the Imperial Guards were relocated to the outskirts of Beijing to establish their own camps. The Imperial Guards comprised over 20,000 elite soldiers, making them a formidable army.
When Ling Feng arrived at the Imperial Guards' camp, he saw the Imperial Guards undergoing intensive training.
Yang Hui came out to greet him early. Upon seeing the Emperor Ling Feng's arrival, he rushed to Ling Feng's side, knelt down, and said, "Your subject Yang Hui pays respects to Your Majesty. Long live the Emperor!"
"Yang Hui, get up." Ling Feng helped him up and looked him over. Yang Hui was much thinner and more muscular than before. When he was a royal guard, it was a comfortable job. Now that he was the commander of the imperial guards, he had suffered a lot... But seeing the fighting spirit in his eyes and the faint glint of coldness, Ling Feng knew that all the hardships he had endured had not been in vain.
"You must have suffered a lot, right?" Ling Feng asked with concern. As soon as he held the man's hand, he felt how rough his hands were, which almost made Ling Feng feel sorry for him.
"It is already a great honor for me to be able to help Your Majesty share your burdens and solve your problems." Yang Hui said with a face full of gratitude, "I also want to thank Your Majesty for giving me this opportunity to lead the Imperial Guards, protect Your Majesty's safety, and follow Your Majesty to fight for the country and make unparalleled contributions."
"Good, good. Since you have this ambition, I know I haven't misjudged you." Ling Feng was also pleased and said, "The day you establish your achievements won't be long. Yang Hui, in the next half month, you should intensify your training. For the Fengshan ceremony at Mount Tai, I don't need the army to protect me; I'll entrust the entire task to your Imperial Guards."
A glint of light immediately appeared in Yang Huihu's eyes, and he said with great joy, "With Your Majesty's words, even if I am a hundred times more tired, I will still be full of energy."
"I told you, I wanted to see your training results first." Ling Feng chuckled. His reason for visiting Yang Hui today was twofold: first, to see this first lad so loyal to him; and second, to test the effectiveness of the new Imperial Guard. The Ministry of War was organizing the navy for a naval expedition, the Grand Marshal of the Army was in charge of the cavalry preparing to deal with the Mongols and Goryeo, and even the Imperial Guard had been deployed to deal with the harassing Japanese pirates. Currently, there were very few troops left to protect the capital and the imperial city; the Imperial Guard was the only one. Ling Feng intended to put this new army to great use.
Upon hearing this, Yang Hui didn't waste any words and led Ling Feng straight into the camp.
The camp was filled with all sorts of novel training equipment. These were all ideas that Ling Feng had come up with for Yang Hui based on his memory.
Yang Hui pulled his adjutant aside and ordered him, "Summon the Tianzi Team to assemble."
The adjutant immediately saluted respectfully, and without saying a word, went straight to carry out the assembly order.
In just a third of an incense stick's time, a well-armored army appeared before Ling Feng, numbering about two to three hundred men, lined up in neat formation, each one looking spirited.
"Your Majesty, this is the Heavenly Guard, the Tiger Army of the Imperial Guards. Your Majesty, do not underestimate these mere 268 men. If we create an opportunity for them, they have a real chance to annihilate an enemy force more than a hundred times their size. They are all the elite of the elite, skilled in assassination or combat." Yang Hui looked at this proud army with excitement.
Ling Feng was quite convinced of this. The Imperial Guards were originally elites selected from the army, and these two hundred-plus people were selected from twenty thousand people, so they could indeed be considered the elite among the elite.
"Let them perform," Ling Feng said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Yang Hui immediately said, "Your Majesty, if I may summon the members of the Earth Team, we can practice together."
Ling Feng nodded as instructed. It seemed that Yang Hui had divided the team into four groups according to the four characters: Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow. He then said, "Don't go through all that trouble. The other three teams, come out. But one hundred people per team is enough. The Heaven team, you can all leave now. Leave one hundred people."
Yang Hui immediately issued the order as instructed. After a while, the four teams of Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow appeared before Ling Feng.
“Your Majesty, the Earth Team has 987 members, the Black Team has 3,600 members, and the Yellow Team has the most members, with 9,300,” Yang Hui replied.
Ling Feng frowned and asked in surprise, "Didn't I give you more than 20,000 people? How come less than half of them have arrived?"
Yang Hui replied, "Your Majesty, not everyone can enter the Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow Four Great Teams. Those who are only slightly qualified to enter the Four Great Teams are called the Ordinary Team. Only after they pass the assessment can they be promoted to the Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow Four Great Teams according to regulations."
Ling Feng stepped forward and pointed at the two people in the Heavenly Team, saying, "You two step forward."
"Yes!" the four hundred men shouted in unison, turning their gazes to Ling Feng.
"You two, step forward," Ling Feng said calmly.
The two people in the "Heaven" team immediately stepped forward as instructed.
"Slap him in the face," Ling Feng commanded calmly.
*Slap slap slap.* No sooner had Ling Feng finished speaking than the two men slapped themselves hard across the face.
"Stop!" Ling Feng shouted again, secretly pleased. Ling Feng wasn't doing this to retaliate against them for obeying him earlier, but rather to deliberately test their training level.
The fact that those two team members had reached such a level after only a few months of training was indeed beyond Ling Feng's expectations. Of course, the general training methods were taught to Yang Hui by Ling Feng; Yang Hui simply organized and applied Ling Feng's fragmented and mixed training methods. Even so, Ling Feng had to admire that Yang Hui was indeed quite capable.
Immediately, Ling Feng selected two more members from the Earth Team and ordered both sides to engage in battle.
As soon as Ling Feng issued the order, two members from each of the Heaven and Earth teams let out a low roar and charged towards their opponent with lightning speed. Just as the two sides were about to collide, one of the Heaven team members suddenly stopped moving, as stable as a mountain, not budging an inch. The Earth team member who was fighting him, seeing this, stopped and crashed into him.
The Heavenly member suddenly sank down, grabbed the Earthly member with both hands, and threw him out. The member tumbled several times in the air before crashing heavily to the ground.
On the other side, the Heavenly Prince member was incredibly agile, moving swiftly on his feet. Before the Earthly Prince member could react, he was struck on the back of the neck by a palm strike and immediately lost consciousness.
Ling Feng was shocked; the strength of the Heavenly Rank members was truly formidable. Ling Feng called Yang Hui to his side and asked, "How many of these Heavenly Rank members can you handle by yourself?"
Yang Hui had received personal instruction from Ling Feng, and his skills were now vastly different from before. However, even so, he frowned and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, I can defeat two people working together, but I'm afraid I can't withstand three."
Ling Feng nodded in deep agreement. These two were just two he had randomly picked from the top-tier team, yet their strength was so formidable.
"Yang Hui, are all these Heaven-rank members really this powerful? How did you train them?" Ling Feng asked Yang Hui again. "Goodness, they're almost equivalent to top-tier second-rate experts." Ling Feng had just tested them with his watch; the two Heaven-rank members had scores of 293 and 264 respectively. They were truly formidable. Don't underestimate the two Earth-rank experts who were defeated; their combat power also exceeded 100. They could barely be considered bottom-tier second-rate experts.
"Your Majesty, the army is full of hidden talents, and there are all kinds of people in it." Yang Hui replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, I simply selected the best of them according to the testing method you gave Ling Feng, and then gave them strict training."
Ling Feng thought about it and understood. Indeed, selecting more than two hundred experts from hundreds of thousands of troops was not unreasonable.
Immediately afterwards, Ling Feng selected ten Earth-rank warriors to fight against another randomly chosen Earth-Heaven-rank warrior.
This time, the battle was not as easy as the last one. The ten Earth-rank warriors each formed a battle formation.
Three people form a team, arranged in a triangular formation, forming three teams. One person stays behind to command and provide support.
One group engaged a Heavenly Warrior. They didn't focus on attacking, but rather on defense. The three of them complemented each other, leaving the Heavenly Warrior temporarily powerless to defeat them.
Meanwhile, the other two groups surrounded and attacked another Heaven-rank warrior, the two groups constantly weaving in and out of each other's formations. The Heaven-rank warrior had no choice but to fight back desperately, but after he took down two Earth-rank warriors in succession, he was finally knocked to the ground, his pressure points were sealed, and he could not move.
The five Earth-rank warriors then went to support their three teammates who were holding off the enemy. This clarified the situation. The warriors lost three members but ultimately won. The Heaven-rank warriors, however, lost both of their members.
Ling Feng praised, "Such a simple tactic, yet very effective. It's quite interesting to see the weak fight against the strong."
Yang Hui nodded repeatedly, realizing that he alone might not be able to defeat ten Earth-level warriors.
Ling Feng stayed at the camp for half a day and was very satisfied. He had lunch with Yang Hui, which made Yang Hui extremely grateful, after all, it was a great honor to dine with the emperor.
In fact, for Ling Feng, this was also a way to win over the hearts of his troops.
