Yang Yi's mission was over. Zhao Yuanqing handed him a letter and said, "Take this letter and go to the Prince's Mansion to find the Prince's personal guard. He will take you to see the Prince.

I have already stated your abilities in my letter. The Crown Prince values ​​talent and will definitely make use of you. Of course, if you do not wish to stay in the Crown Prince's Mansion, the Crown Prince will not make things difficult for you."

Yang Yi took the letter and asked, "Who are you?"

"Don't ask anymore, and I won't tell you."

Zhao Yuanqing took out another stack of banknotes and a bag of silver coins. "This is ten thousand taels of silver, and this is one hundred taels of silver coins. This is a thank you gift for you. If it's not enough, I can give you more."

"enough."

Yang Yi was not a greedy person. This silver was enough for him to use for a long time. He took it without hesitation and put it in his arms together with the letter.

"Okay, I'm leaving now."

"Okay, see you later."

Yang Yi brought the horse, jumped on it and rode away.

Zhao Yuanqing ordered someone to bring Fan Shiyi Niang and her two daughters up.

"You all saw what happened just now. I asked you to come here so that you can pick out some of these courtesans and train them to be assassins to carry out missions for me in the future. Do you think you can do it?"

Fan Shiyi Niang pondered for a moment and asked, "Sir, training an assassin requires a lot of money, not a small amount. I would like to ask you first, are you ready for this?"

"You don't have to worry about that."

"Okay, let me tell you, there are generally two types of assassins for women. One is a surprise attack, in the middle of the night or by designing a plot to kill the target. This type of assassin needs to have force.

The other method is lurking. This takes time, with the killer lurking in the target's home or somewhere close to the target. Once familiar with the environment, the killer kills the target through poisoning or other unexpected means. This type of killer doesn't require much force. I wonder what kind of killer you want to train?"

"Both are possible, and both are needed. Can you teach both?"

"I'm a bit of a boxer, and I can teach you some light martial arts, so you can get out of the yard and escape easily. But I can't teach you any strong martial arts. As for other things, like charm, poison, and killing techniques, I can also teach you."

Zhao Yuanqing nodded. It sounded like Fan Shiyi Niang was a pretty good person and knew a little bit about everything.

"What are the requirements for being a killer? Do you think any of those courtesans can do it?"

"Sir, if we want to train the first type of killers, those adult courtesans probably won't be able to do it. Their bones have hardened and they can't practice martial arts. You can try with the younger ones, but whether they can do it depends on their talent.

For those adults who want to be killers, some can be trained to become concubines or mistresses, lurking around the target and doing things like spying and assassination.

Such killers need to cultivate their charm and assassination methods. Such killers need to be beautiful or have distinctive looks.

The other type is those who are not so beautiful, such as old women or children with ordinary appearance. They can develop some special skills, such as accounting, housekeeping, hairdressing, etc. They can lurk in the target's home and do things according to the rules. "

Zhao Yuanqing nodded and said, "That's right."

Fan Shiyi Niang changed the subject, "However, what I just talked about are just techniques, just skills. If you want to be a qualified killer, the most important thing is to have a clear mind, a decisive character, and resolute action. You must not be afraid of killing or dying. If you don't have these qualities, no matter how powerful your skills are, you will fail in the end."

"How to say?"

"Sir, this woman is very sentimental. When she's on a mission, she'll be so close to her targets that she'll easily fall in love with them and turn against them, leading to mission failure.

However, many targets don't actually fall in love with the killer, but rather exploit their misfortune to plot against the person behind the scenes, so these killers often end up in a tragic situation.

"You have a point."

"There are also many assassins who, while carrying out missions, feel that life is peaceful and comfortable, so they abandon the mission halfway and live their lives with the mission targets. Such cases are also very common."

"That's understandable. After all, women want to find a good man and live a peaceful life. Who wants to be displaced?"

"My Lord, I'm glad you understand. What I mean is that even if you train some assassins, once you release them, they might fall in love or leave to pursue a better life. In short, there will be a lot of losses. You need to be mentally prepared for your efforts to be in vain."

Zhao Yuanqing was a little curious, "You've described it in such detail, but have you ever encountered something similar?"

"Yes, in the assassin organization I once served, there were a total of 92 female assassins. 23 of them fell in love with their targets and were killed, 48 of them quit midway due to their lust for worldly pleasures, and 17 of them were killed after failing in their missions. In the end, only 4 remained."

"How long can a killer last?"

"It's hard to say, but most people fail their first mission. Only after they get through the first one do they become qualified. After killing a few more people, they become cold-blooded and ruthless killers."

Fan Shiyi Niang said so much to Zhao Yuanqing in order to make her give up the idea. Wouldn't it be a waste of effort to train a bunch of killers, only to have them all run away as soon as they carried out the mission?

Zhao Yuanqing said, "That's fine. Let's try it out with a few people first. If it works, that would be great. If not, forget it."

"In that case, I will obey you, sir."

Fan Shiyi Niang's advice to Zhao Yuanqing was that to be a killer, one must dare to kill, so he should first test their courage and whether they were afraid of seeing blood.

This is relatively simple. Take a bunch of live chickens out of the kitchen and ask the courtesans to kill them.

Some people were holding kitchen knives, but were scared by a chicken and screamed loudly, not daring to kill it at all. Fan Shiyi Niang shook her head. If they didn't even dare to kill a chicken, how could they kill people? No way, no way.

Some people are much calmer. They chop the chicken's neck with a knife, separating its head and body, with a cold look in their eyes. This barely qualifies.

In this step, 17 were picked out and the rest were eliminated.

These women have been trained to be extremely slaves in the military camp and do not know how to resist. Even when they are being hurt endlessly, the first reaction they can think of is to kneel down and beg for help.

If kneeling for a while doesn't work, then he will kneel for a long time, knocking his head against the wall, trying to beg for sympathy and pity from the superior with a more humble attitude.

But they don't understand that the more humble they are, the more they can arouse the evil thoughts in the hearts of those in power, and the more they want to humiliate them. Only by resistance can they get fair treatment, but their spines have been completely broken and they can't stand up anymore.

Zhao Yuanqing gave up on them.
