On the left side of the palace, there is a huge open space, which was where Emperor Taizong inspected the soldiers when he was hiding in his residence.
Zhao Yanxun didn't have that many soldiers, so it became a training ground for the guards.
Although it had only been a few days since I moved into the palace, the school grounds were already fully utilized.
In response to the situation of the end of the world, Zhao Yanxun and several hundred households set up relevant training subjects.
For example, compete in endurance long-distance running, and sprint to develop explosive power.
In the apocalypse, only if you run fast enough will you have more chances to survive.
In addition to these, there are also related trainings for strengthening strength, and there are many kinds of exercises for the guards to enjoy.
Except for one guard who was on duty for a hundred households, all the rest of the guards had their rest canceled. Nearly 300 strong men were sweating on the school field.
These people have all seen real monsters and know that monsters are extremely difficult to deal with.
Only by making yourself stronger can you better protect yourself and your family. Knowing this, the guards are very enthusiastic.
What's more, Zhao Yanxun also set up awards for training.
For example, the person who ranks first in long-distance running can be awarded silver and cloth, which can effectively improve the quality of life of the guards.
In a pavilion at the edge of the school grounds, a dozen guards were sitting around a table, each holding a bowl of cold water in their hands.
"Not to mention... after drinking this salty water, I really don't feel so weak after drinking it. I don't know how the prince knows this knowledge!"
"Don't you know this? The prince is a divine person. Otherwise, how could he predict the coming of monsters!"
"That's right, Your Majesty must be a god who came to this world to lead us to defeat monsters..."
The guards chatted so much that it was really lively.
Behind the fence of the pergola, Liu Enfu from Baihu kept wiping the sweat on his forehead.
This is of course not because of the heat, but because the person standing next to him is Zhao Yanxun.
These people under my command are so mean-mouthed that they actually talk about the prince in private. Isn’t this because they are full?
Looking at Zhao Yanxun's indifferent expression, Liu Enfu was secretly glad that these bastards didn't talk nonsense.
"Let's go and take a look in front!" Zhao Yanxun said.
Liu Enfu responded quickly, and then appeared in the pergola with Zhao Yanxun.
The lieutenants who were having a lively conversation heard the sound of dry coughing coming from behind, and they all turned around to check.
When they saw Liu Enfu, they also saw Zhao Yanxun beside them.
After everyone was briefly surprised, they immediately put down the large bowls of salt water in their hands and hurriedly bowed and paid homage.
"See you, my lord!"
Zhao Yanxun found a stool at random and sat down. Today he was wearing a gray moire robe, and the tightly tied cuffs gave him a bit of heroism.
"Everyone, get up!" Zhao Yanxun said calmly.
The guards then stood up and looked at Zhao Yanxun with more respect.
Zhao Yanxun had killed many monsters with his own hands, and it had become a miracle among the guards, so the people in the pavilion were convinced of him from the bottom of their hearts.
"How are you practicing?" Zhao Yanxun asked with a smile.
Feeling that the prince was approachable, the guards did not dare to reply. After all, the gap in time and status between the two was too great.
"You bastards, are you dumb when the prince asks you questions?" Liu Enfu scolded him with a straight face.
Only then did the guard have the courage to speak: "To tell you what the prince has said, you have practiced pretty well!"
"What's the name?" Zhao Yanxun asked with a smile.
After thinking for a while, the guard said: "The villain can run faster and further than before!"
Starting from Changfu Town, Zhao Yanxun asked the guards to strengthen training and formulated corresponding qualification standards.
Since this guard said that he has made great progress, he might as well take a test today to see if these people have really made progress.
"Liu Enfu..."
"I'm here!"
"Blow the drums and ask everyone to line up. I want to see what progress they have made!"
"Yes!" When Liu Enfu answered this, he was reluctant in his heart.
There are always some sneaky people in the team. If Zhao Yanxun finds out, it will definitely not look good as a Shangguan.
"Lin Quan..."
"The slave is here!"
"Go find more eunuchs and let them be the referees!" Zhao Yanxun said in a deep voice.
"Slave, go now!"
Hearing this, Liu Enfu's heart dropped even more, knowing that Zhao Yanxun was serious about it this time.
As the order was passed on, the drums sounded in time with the inherent rhythm. The guards who were training on the school field all gathered together in response to the drums, and then lined up in hundreds of households.
After a few minutes, the chaotic campus became orderly. Although the appearance of the team was not neat, it was already rare in this era.
There was a high platform in front of the school grounds. Zhao Yanxun slowly walked up to the steps and had a panoramic view of the guards below.
Under the leadership of Huo An, two young eunuchs carried the chair to the high platform and placed the chair behind Zhao Yanxun.
After Zhao Yanxun sat down, Liu Enfu took a step forward and said: "Brothers, the prince is here today and wants to see your training results. Everyone will participate in the test in a while... Tentatively, long-distance running and weightlifting are planned!"
Liu Enfu kept talking in front, while Zhao Yanxun took the tea cup from Huo An and sat back and watched quietly.
Finally, Liu Enfu turned around, bowed and clasped his fists, saying, "Your Majesty, the brothers are ready. Do you have any instructions?"
"Let's start!" Zhao Yanxun said calmly.
On such occasions, he would not talk directly to the guards, as that would only lower his style.
This is not to say that Zhao Yanxun is proud of his status, but that he must maintain the dignity of those in power. Being approachable is not feasible in this era.
Following Liu Enfu's shout, the guards below, under the leadership of their respective general banners, began to work according to Liu Enfu's request.
After a while, the noise on the school grounds started again, even worse than before.
Today, Zhao Yanxun is here in person. Everyone wants to take advantage of this opportunity to stand out, and then be spotted by Zhao Yanxun.
In fact, Zhao Yanxun did have the idea to select the strongest group of guards from among them and conduct more rigorous training.
"Your Majesty, several hundred households have arrived!" Huo An reported from the side.
Looking at the intense competition on the school field, Zhao Yanxun said in a deep voice: "Let them come up!"
After a few breaths, Xu Hong and others slowly walked up to the high platform and paid homage to Zhao Yanxun.
"Come over and take a look today. The guards are practicing hard. Your supervision is worthwhile!"
Zhao Yanxun affirmed several hundred households, and the conversation started well, which made Xu Hong and others feel a lot more at ease.
They were all fierce men in the Forbidden Army, but after traveling westward with Zhao Yanxun, they could be said to have been completely tamed.
Zhao Yanxun's majesty was profound, and the hundreds of families felt it more deeply than the guards, so they all felt sad at this moment.
"There's something you need to go down to discuss!" Zhao Yanxun continued.
"Please give me your instructions, Your Majesty!"
"Now it seems that Yuanyang City is safe for the time being, but the situation outside the city is hard to say!"
"If places like Changfu Town and Wolong Temple are relatively closed, even if there are monsters, they will be discovered in a short time!"
"Outside the city of Yuanyang Mansion, there are many villages and towns of various kinds. What I mean is... to send out guards to search and report back immediately if found!"
Several hundred households looked at each other, a little surprised by Zhao Yanxun's order.
Why would you go out to find the monster if you don't find it yourself? Isn't this causing trouble for yourself?
Seeing the confused expressions of several people, Zhao Yanxun said: "This is called nip in the bud. You can discuss how to arrange the shifts!"
Picking up the tea cup, Zhao Yanxun took a sip and then said: "I have finished speaking, what do you think?"
After hearing this, several hundred households plopped down on their knees and said quickly: "I accept your order!"
