Chapter 67 -67 Elite Guards_1

Having eaten lunch, Yang Mengchen and her six brothers, including Yang Chengrong, arrived at the foot of Dayang Mountain, the two lofty peaks purchased by Yang Mengchen, which she named Dayang Mountain.

“Second Brother, Third Brother, have all those people been arranged properly?” Yang Mengchen asked Yang Chengning and Yang Chengxuan.

Before heading to the town, she had instructed Second Brother and Third Brother to secretly purchase some young boys and girls, as well as orphaned beggars from the town’s brokers, and after making death contracts at the County Office, to bring them into Dayang Mountain.

Yang Chengning nodded, “Little Sister, rest assured, Xiao Guai found an extremely hidden and safe place, which will not easily be discovered by others.”

“However, this time we have only sixty-three people,” Yang Chengxuan added.

“No rush, we will gradually increase the number,” Yang Mengchen said with a smile to comfort the two.

Glancing sideward at his little sister, Yang Cheng’an asked doubtfully, “Little Sister, what do you want those people for?”

In his simple mind, only large landowners or wealthy families would buy maids and slaves to order around, and although their family’s life had improved under his sister’s guidance, it wasn’t to the extent of needing maids and slaves.

“Little Sister has her uses for those people, you talk less!” Yang Chengyu slapped Yang Cheng’an on the back of the head.

The other four brothers also glared warningly at Yang Cheng’an.

Rubbing his slightly sore head, Yang Cheng’an pouted and dared not speak further.

“I bought those people to cultivate our family’s secret forces.”

Seeing the astonished looks of her brothers, Yang Mengchen explained, “As our family’s life becomes richer, it inevitably attracts envy and covetousness. Without strong enough power, we will only be at the mercy of others;

furthermore, whether it’s Second Brother joining the army, Sixth Brother doing business, Seventh Brother studying medicine, or the various achievements of my brothers, there will inevitably be all sorts of plots and schemes around us. Only with strong forces will we be fearless;

and I will train those people to become Elite Guards, proficient in various skills, and absolutely loyal to our family, ensuring that our family will always stand on invincible ground!”

“It’s Sister who thinks ahead!” The six brothers suddenly understood.

Especially Yang Chengrong and Yang Chengyou, who felt it most profoundly, having just experienced the fact that when faced with the powerful Prince Chen, their resistance was akin to an egg striking a stone; not only could they not protect themselves, but they might even endanger their family.

Yang Mengchen looked toward Yang Chengxuan, “This force will henceforth be under Third Brother’s command. You must lead the Elite Guards to protect our family members!”

“I will not let Little Sister down in her trust and expectations!” Yang Chengxuan declared emphatically.

Deeply appreciating his sister’s thoughtful intentions, the six brothers felt moved and excited: their family also had its own secret force now!

Yang Chengning took out a stack of papers and handed them to Yang Mengchen, “Little Sister, these are the life contracts of those people, keep them safe.”

“As the eldest son and grandson, Big Brother is the head of our family and the pillar of support. These life contracts should be kept by Big Brother,” Yang Mengchen handed them over to Yang Chengrong, “I made this decision on my own, my brothers have no objections, right?”

The other five brothers said in unison, “Big Brother is the most worthy, we have no objections!”

Facing the trust of his younger siblings, Yang Chengrong was moved to the point of moistening eyes and carefully tucked the life contracts into his chest.

Halfway up the slope, Yang Mengchen suddenly stopped and nodded after surveying the surroundings, “The formations and mechanisms set up by Fifth Brother are quite impressive.”

“How did Ninth Sister know there were formations and mechanisms?” Yang Chengyu asked his sister in surprise.

Since the day after Second Brother and Third Brother brought back those people, he had secretly set up some formations and mechanisms around this area to prevent anyone from accidentally stumbling upon them and discovering their presence. However, he hadn’t mentioned this to anyone. How then did his sister come to know of it?

Yang Mengchen pointed to a bird in a tree, “Did Fifth Brother forget that I can communicate with animals? Naturally, they told me.”

“I really did forget.” Yang Chengyu touched his nose in embarrassment, “A few days ago, Xiao Guai found a book from somewhere, which describes the Qimen Armor Skill. I thought it was fascinating, so I gave it some thought and practiced it here. I wanted to surprise you all, but it seems Ninth Sister already knew.”

“Fifth Brother has actually learned the Qimen Armor Skill, that’s just amazing!” Yang Chengan hugged Yang Chengyu’s arm, his eyes shining with excitement.

Yang Mengchen smiled in admiration, “Fifth Brother is indeed impressive!”

The others also praised Yang Chengyu for his exceptional intelligence.

“It’s just trial and error; the credit goes to Xiao Guai,” Yang Chengyu’s face turned red with the praise from everyone: “Xiao Guai also helped me forge some weapons according to the book. They’re all stored in a safe place for you to choose from later.”

The group was both delighted and grateful.

If Yang Chengyu didn’t have such a talent in this area, even if Xiao Guai had found that book, it would have been useless. This was something Yang Mengchen understood very well, “Fifth Brother, go ahead and study with confidence, we all support you fully!”

“I will definitely study hard!” Supported by his brothers and sisters, Yang Chengyu felt even more determined to master the Qimen Armor Skill.

“Also, Fifth Brother, when you have time, teach the other brothers as well, especially Second Brother. It will be very useful on the battlefield.”

“All right.”

Touched by his sister’s thoughtfulness, Yang Chengning lowered his head to hide the warm tears in his eyes.

“And there’s no need to set up mechanisms around here; just arrange mazes, so as not to accidentally injure the villagers who come up the mountain.”

Yang Chengxuan comforted her, “Ninth Sister need not worry. After the village chief and the Lizheng announced that these two mountains belong to our family, the villagers consciously started going to the other mountains. Naturally, they won’t harm any villagers.”

“Remember to tell the villagers later that they can continue to come to Dayang Mountain.” Seeing the confused looks on her brothers’ faces, Yang Mengchen explained, “Firstly, to avoid damaging the good relations between our family and the villagers, and secondly, if villagers suddenly stop coming to Dayang Mountain, it’s bound to arouse suspicion. People will want to investigate the cause, so it’s better to keep things as they are. After all, with the formations set up by Fifth Brother and the animals on guard, I doubt anyone could uncover the secrets within the mountain.”

Realizing the wisdom in his sister’s words, Yang Chengyu agreed to remove the mechanisms at the mountainside, and the other five brothers also said they would inform the villagers.

As they walked, Yang Chengyu explained to his brothers and sister where mechanisms were placed, where formations were set, and how to neutralize them; each of them made sure to commit everything to memory.

Upon reaching three-quarters of the way up, Yang Chengyu pulled back the dense vines to reveal a cave entrance. Everyone followed him through a narrow tunnel just wide enough for one person, then climbed down a cliffside. Surrounded by three towering mountains, a vast valley hidden away was revealed, lush with towering trees. Though it was daytime, they could still hear the distant howling of wolves and leopards.

Yang Mengchen was both surprised and delighted to discover an even taller mountain; she knew she must hurry to purchase it when they returned.

On seeing the group arrive, the sixty-three people training in groups lined up and knelt before the seven visitors, declaring in unison, “We kneel before Master Ning, Master Xuan, Master Yu, and Lord An!” They did not recognize the other three, so they did not address them with honorifics.
