Chapter 11: The Shadowless Guard

A few days later, at night, Yang Yun specially told several eunuchs and palace maids that he was a little uncomfortable today, and he would get up late tomorrow, and no one should disturb him.

Finally waiting for everyone to sleep, Yang Yun tiptoed down from the couch and uncovered a piece of wood on the couch. A wooden ball appeared in front of his eyes.

According to the method given to him by Sima Yu, he twisted the wooden ball three times in one direction, and then twisted it back twice, and on the wall behind the couch, there was a gentle clicking sound, and after a while, the wall moved backwards, and a hole appeared in front of his eyes.

Covering the wooden planks and pretending to be someone sleeping, Yang Yun took the fire fold prepared in advance, drilled into the hole, and restored the wall to its original state from the inside.

After doing all this, Yang Yun walked forward along the tunnel, which was not big, but it was more than enough for one person to pass through it. It can be seen that the person who dug this tunnel at that time was a master of this tunnel, and this tunnel was very dry and had air circulation. And, decades later, the tunnel is still intact.

There is no fork in the tunnel, not worried about getting lost, Yang Yun walked along the tunnel for more than half an hour, it is estimated that there are four or five miles of road, a staircase appeared in front of him, he went up the stairs, and saw a closed stone gate, he knew that the destination had arrived.

Tie Shan is a blacksmith who has been striking iron in Xijing City for decades, and in these decades, he has gotten along very well with his neighbors. But no one thought that this old blacksmith, who was happy to see anyone, was actually one of the four major captains of the Shadowless Guard who was most trusted by the emperor of the previous dynasty.

First Emperor Sima Nan of Jin, then Empress Cui Ning, and finally Princess Sima Yu, Tieshan was loyal to them. He was originally an orphan, and when he was about to starve to death, it was the Jin Emperor Sima Nan who sent someone to take him to a secret place, gave him brocade clothes and food, and trained him and many teenagers who had similar encounters to him to become a shadowless guard. Therefore, they have had a belief rooted in their hearts since they were young - they are ready to die for the Jin Kingdom at any time.

Princess Sima Yu hadn't given them orders for several years, but Tieshan still stuck to the blacksmith shop because there was an important stone gate here.

Tie Shan, who had been asleep, suddenly heard a thumping sound, and he scrambled to his feet. When I listened closely, I was immediately overjoyed, and it was the voice coming from behind the stone door.

Tie Shan hurriedly woke up his son Tie Feng, and pushed a large iron tripod in the house with him, a wall moved to both sides, and a stone door appeared in front of two eyes. Then press a groove next to the stone door, the stone door slowly opened to both sides, and a thin boy appeared in the stone door.

"Who are you?" Seeing that it wasn't the Jade Princess, Tie Shan asked vigilantly. Tie Feng next to him also clenched the steel knife in his hand, and there was a posture that the situation was not right and he would immediately take action.

"I'm Yang Yun, my mother ordered me to tell you, and everyone will obey my command in the future." Yang Yun said as he handed the Vermilion Bird Hairpin to Tie Shan.

"Old slave Tieshan, I've seen the young master!" The other party came out of this secret passage, and there was a vermilion bird hairpin as evidence, and Tie Shan was relieved. He led his son Tie Feng to kneel down and saw the new master.

For Tie Shan, the idea of obeying orders has been ingrained in his heart, and it doesn't matter who leads him. But Tie Feng's heart is full of expectations, this shadowless guard has changed for several generations, and has not performed any tasks, and now that he has changed the leader, I hope there will be some changes.

"I just learned about the existence of the Shadowless Guard from my mother, so tell me about you!" After the two sides officially sat down, Yang Yun asked.

"At the beginning of the establishment of our Shadowless Guard, there were a total of 2,000 people, divided into four parts: the lion, the war tiger, the flying eagle and the cheetah, each with 500 people." At the beginning of its establishment, it was personally managed by His Majesty, and later because His Majesty's affairs were indeed too much, the Shadowless Guard was handed over to Empress Cui to command. After a pause, Iron Mountain continued.

"After Your Majesty disappeared, Empress Cui saw that the power had completely fallen into the hands of Yang Yuan, the Duke of Fu and the Grand Prince, so she let us lie dormant. In order to hide his identity, my lion department opened more than ten blacksmith shops in Xijing, from mining to refining and finally to making ironware; The War Tiger Department operated a mountain village, mainly planting and raising cattle and horses; The Flying Eagle Department mainly collects intelligence, so it operates several brothels; The Cheetah Division is engaged in the brewing and selling of liquor. ”

After listening to Tie Shan's story, Yang Yun couldn't help but secretly admire these people, they can kill the enemy in wartime, and hide in the market in their spare time.

"It's been decades since the establishment of the Shadowless Guard, and those 2,000 people are already old!" Yang Yun asked.

"Yes! Decades have passed, most of those people were old, and even many of them had died, but Queen Cui gave us a large amount of money back then, and while the four departments used this money to do business, they also recruited many orphans to join, but these people's combat power was far inferior to the old people back then. ”

"Oh well! In this case, please inform the lieutenants of the four divisions, and in three days, let them all come to you, I want to meet them. "Yang Yun is very much looking forward to this force given to him by Sima Yu, this is a force that completely belongs to him! If there is a change one day, you can count on them to help you save your life.

"Young Master, I have to tell you about this in advance, after so many years, the Shadowless Guardians have almost been replaced, and the new ones only know to be loyal to their leader. And the previous four captains have all grown old or died, and the people under them have all been handed over to their children or apprentices, and I am afraid that they will no longer obey the orders of the young master. ”

"That Tie Lao, who else do you estimate will obey me!"

"My lion department is now in charge of my son Tie Feng, and we are deeply favored by His Majesty, and of course we swear allegiance to the young master. The Flying Eagle Department is now led by Yan Feifei, the apprentice of the old captain, and he has always been loyal to His Majesty. The old captain of the War Tiger Department is deceased, and now his son Zhong Wentao is in charge of his department, and he has not been in contact with us for many years, so it is estimated that he will not obey orders. Yao Xia of the Cheetah Department has a somewhat eccentric personality, and we don't know what he thinks now. ”

"Let them know first! Let's see if they come. "So far, Yang Yun has only one step and one step.

When he came back from the secret passage, it was almost dawn, Yang Yun hurried to sleep for a while, and only got up at noon. During this period, no one came to disturb him.

In the next few days, Yang Yun was thinking about the matter of the Shadowless Guard, how to firmly grasp this team in his hands, and how to rely on this team to make them strong and become a force that he could really rely on.

Thinking about this matter all day long, so that when Guozijian was in the morning class, he was absent-minded, answering questions several times that he was not asked, and he was so angry that the old lady Zhao Qian's ring ruler slapped on the bookcase.

On the night of the third day, Yang Yun took advantage of the fact that everyone in Ningyu Palace was asleep, sneaked out of the secret passage, and came to the small courtyard of Tieshan. Sure enough, as Tie Shan expected, only Yan Feifei from the Flying Eagle Department arrived on time. Zhong Wentao of the War Tiger Department did not respond at all, and Yao Xiadao of the Cheetah Department replied: His father was seriously ill and couldn't get out.

Yan Feifei is a very capable-looking woman, she is an orphan raised by Yan Cheng, the old captain of the Flying Eagle Department, and she is also Yan Cheng's righteous daughter and disciple.

The Flying Eagle Department was handed over to Yan Feifei, and she recruited a large number of women, trained them, and let some of them run several brothels to find out all kinds of news. The other part is trained as killers, often helping all kinds of people in the country to carry out various assassination missions, this killer organization called "Flying Eagle Hall" is also quite famous.

"Young master, don't worry, my Flying Eagle Department will definitely be loyal to the young master, as for those guys from the War Tiger Department and the Cheetah Department, if anyone doesn't listen to your command, I will send a few people to kill them." Yan Feifei is really like Tie Feng's evaluation, she is a very decisive woman.
