Chapter 41 - The Roster of the Guards (2/2)

Fu Caiwei was confused, “Will you continue laying off other guards?”

Ling Zhang nodded, “Aunt, I want to train the guards, so that they will have the ability to fight against a group of bandits when meeting them.”

Fu Caiwei was surprised, “You want these guards to fight against the bandits?”

“Just be prepared for all contingencies,” Ling Zhang replied.

“Are you going to do something dangerous?” Compared with others, what Fu Caiwei concerned most was Ling Zhang’s safety, so she showed a little disapproval in her face.

“Aunt, it’s not me who want to do dangerous things, but our Ling family is now in a very dangerous situation. We have offended Jia family, as well as the commander of the Prefecture Guards – Zhang Chong; these people are not upright gentlemen, and they will get rid of dissidents by fair means or foul. Since our family is now a thorn in their flesh, we don’t know what treacherous act they will use in order to deal with us. Training the guards, is a protection for Ling family. Maybe one day, they will fight against the bandits,” Ling Zhang said.

With so many frequent activities in their family, Fu Caiwei was clear about what her husband, father-in-law and nephew would do. She knew what Ling Zhang said was not alarmist talk.

“However, how will you train them? How can you train such numbered people to have the abilities to fight against a bunch of bandits directly?” Fu Caiwei asked.

Ling Zhang replied, “I want to train them with some battle arrays.”

“Arrays?” Fu Caiwei was puzzled, “What kind of battle arrays? Where did you learn it?”

No one could blame Fu Caiwei for asking so carefully, it was because she had always treated Ling Zhang as her own, so it was only natural that she was being overanxious.
