Chapter 7: Wren
In order to cultivate a henchman force that fully supports him, Jiang Chuanyue deliberately went to the famous underground intelligence trading center in the imperial capital and exchanged a list from a woman nicknamed "Poisonous Scorpion".
The list chronicles the millions of people living in the imperial capital, such as mercenaries who struggle to survive for many years, powerful but down-and-out samurai, deposed imperial generals, down-and-out scientists who have knowledge but no money to conduct experiments, and even many vicious criminals.
After Jiang Chuanyue got the list, she handed it over to the old butler and instructed him to pick out the available people in the list and form a secret force for himself.
Sure enough, the old housekeeper lived up to Jiang Chuanyue's expectations, and in just a few days, he gathered so many people through various unknown means, which greatly exceeded Jiang Chuanyue's expectations.
At the same time, according to Jiang Chuanyue's orders, the old housekeeper also classified the summoned people according to their previous behavior, divided into white prisons and black prisons, and non-combat special talents were presented in front of Jiang Chuanyue.
When taking Jiang Chuanyue to the secret camp, watching Jiang Chuanyue casually look at the information on the list in his hand, the old housekeeper couldn't help but remind:
"Your Excellency, with all due respect, even if we have mastered the weaknesses of these people, but people's hearts are particularly unpredictable, if you want to do something, you still need to guard against betrayal, Your Majesty doesn't understand, why don't you use secret guards?"
Although Jiang Chuanyue has not passed any relevant plans to the old housekeeper, but the frequent actions of the little master recently, how could the old housekeeper not guess one or two?
Regarding the old housekeeper's question, Jiang Chuanyue smiled slightly, but did not raise her head, and replied softly: "Secret guard...... There are too few people, and they have more important things to do. ”
Secret guards were not uncommon among the top nobles in the imperial capital, such as Minister Earnest who had trained a group of assassins to assassinate his political enemies.
In the original book, the main combat force of the night attack, Red Hitomi, and the hunter's main combat force, Black Hitomi, were originally a team of sisters in that training camp, but later in the process of carrying out the mission, Red Hitomi, who had seen too much darkness, was finally persuaded by the boss Na Jiexitan, and then joined the revolutionary army. However, Black Hitomi remained under Minister Earnest.
The Secret Guards are all trained from a young age, selecting highly qualified people from among the orphans to enter the secret camp training, instilling orders to be loyal to the Lord's family year after year, and finally creating a force that is completely obedient to the Lord's family.
Generally speaking, the master has the most trust in the Dark Guard, and usually any things that are not obvious to the Dark Guard will be handed over to the Dark Guard to do.
The father who died in the previous body, as a royal blood noble, naturally also cultivated a secret guard, but unfortunately, the number of this secret guard is too small, only nine.
In Jiang Chuanyue's plan, these people will learn the transformation technique, combine the blood analysis of their main god core to obtain the function of memory, perform the act of changing the tanuki for the prince, and gradually replace the important figures in the upper echelons of the empire, and carry out a major blood exchange for the upper echelons of the empire.
The blood exchange plan for the top echelons of the empire is too important for non-secret guards to serve, so it can be seen that the importance of the secret guards can be seen.
Although it is safer to use the secret guard to deal with General Bude, General Bude is not an ordinary person, if the secret guard is dispatched and causes casualties, then Jiang Chuanyue will not be distressed to death.
Therefore, even though the two forces of the Black Prison and the White Prison were likely to betray, Jiang Chuanyue still decided to establish these two secret armies to deal with General Bude.
First, they are not secret guards, and they don't feel distressed when they are consumed. Second, Jiang Chuanyue is not going to deal with General Bude now, and the preparation time is at least more than five years, and after five years of training, he does not believe that he cannot change their minds. And with a five-year time buffer, even if there are people with different intentions, it is enough for Jiang Chuanyue to see through his feet.
Seeing Jiang Chuanyue's reaction, the old housekeeper didn't say anything more, and silently led the way.
......
Wren is a mercenary who has been struggling with life and death for many years, but unlike other mercenaries who lick blood from the knife, he has a wonderful family.
A gentle wife, a beautiful and mischievous daughter, and a warm home.
Although his family is not wealthy, and although he has to live a life of licking blood from the knife from time to time, he likes his life very much and loves him and his family very much.
He thought that one day, when he was too old to do anything, he would quit his job as a mercenary, and sat under the cherry blossom tree with his old wife in his arms, watching the sunset into the distant sky, surrounded by the falling cherry blossom rain.
And at this time, the daughter with a happy smile will lean on the shoulder of her son-in-law, pull the naughty child, and stand at his door......
However, fate was cruel.
One day, when he returned home from the completion of the caravan escort mission, he was greeted not by the warm embrace of his wife or the bright smile of his daughter.
Ruins, dark ruins.
The house was gone, and only one or two pieces of pitch-black wood remained.
The yard is gone, and the cherry blossom sapling planted by his wife and his wife is only a single piece of black charcoal.
At that moment, his head was a little dizzy and he almost collapsed.
Neighbors said that on that day, the son of Lord Boston's Viscount surrounded his home.
On that day, the wife stood tremblingly in front of the son of the Viscount.
That day, the daughter carefully hid behind her wife and looked fearfully at the son of the viscount, who was smiling lewdly.
On that day, the son of the viscount took his wife's hair and went into the house, and the daughter cried loudly behind her.
That day, his wife's heart-rending screams resounded in the sky, but no one dared to approach.
That night, the blazing flames burned half of the sky red, and the fire was so great that it burned everything out......
Wren found Viscount Boston, in the middle of the street, blocking the front of his carriage.
The Viscount asked the servant, and after clarifying the whole story, he grinned, and the fat on his face shook:
"It's your pleasure, untouchables......"
That day, Wren was thrown like a dead dog into the stinking ditch of the street. Before leaving, the Viscount threw a few gold coins at him.
Hehe, pariahs......
Unwilling! Unwilling! Unwilling! The anger in my heart erupted like a volcano in an instant! Anger drowned him like a tsunami!
Since I am a pariah in your eyes, let you see the anger of the untouchables!
Wren took the knife to kill the Viscount's Mansion, and he didn't know how many people he had killed, but he remembered that the blood in the Viscount's Mansion gathered into a river of heat.
However, he failed in the end.
The knife was only a centimeter away from the son of the Ion Jue when he was caught by the guards who rushed to him, and he was exhausted and unable to resist.
He was put in prison, and he knew that he was going to die, and the guards would put a lot of charges on him and die with his sins.
He closed his eyes and waited for death, but suddenly a mysterious person appeared in front of him.
"Want revenge? If you want to...... Just come with me......"
So, Wren followed the mysterious man to a camp hidden in the jungle......
