The two stood up and saw the An clan member sitting on the wheelchair. It was clear that someone had carried in An Teng. "Fourth Manor Lord, what are you doing?"

The An clan replied, "It's fine! It's just a small injury. It's nothing serious!"

Meng Jian said, "Who could have injured the Fourth Manor Lord?"

The more An clan spoke, the more concerned they became. "Third Imperial Guard, massacre the first!"

The two of them let out an "ah" at the same time, and the An clan continued, "You two don't have to worry about me, I've just exhausted a lot of my Qi after fighting with Tu Xian. I can't feel the lower half of my body for a while, I'll just rest for a few days."

After the two of them heard this, they both said, "We hope that the Fourth Manor Lord can recover soon!"

The An clan asked, "Which camp do you two control? "Who is the Battalion Commander?"

Hearing the An clan's question, the two men stammered as if they didn't dare to say anything. An Teng turned his head to look at the Yan and Ning dukes, and the An clan immediately understood. "The two princes aren't outsiders, so there's no harm in speaking simple words …"

After hearing this, An Teng replied, "Reporting to the Fourth Manor Lord, this subordinate is in charge of the Eagle Camp, and this subordinate is the Commander."

The An clan nodded. "Yes, how many people do you have in the Eagle Camp? How many do you want to bring?"

An Teng replied, "The Eagle Camp has a total of three thousand six hundred people. I heard that the Young Manor Lord ordered everyone to be brought here."

Zhu Di and Zhu Quan both thought to themselves, "An imperial edict?" Fortunately, these people in the martial arts world do not participate in politics or else they would have tens of thousands of people. And most of them are practicing martial arts, and there are quite a few people like the An clan.

The An family replied with a "En" sound, "I heard from three years ago that the total military strength of the four great battalions was only around four thousand. I didn't expect that the two of you would have developed to so many people. Not bad!"

Meng Jian said, "Fourth Manor Lord, you flatter me. Now, the four great battalions combined have a total of thirteen thousand men. The Eagle Camp doesn't count as the largest force."

When Zhu Di and Zhu Quan heard this, they were shocked. This person had casually said that he had three times more people than the An clan had just mentioned. The two couldn't help but be overjoyed, but they definitely wouldn't show it on their faces.

An Teng said: "Fourth Manor Lord is too serious. In fact, when Old Manor Lord was at the helm, he already thought that Yuan Cheng was plotting something, and always wanted to annex our Thousand Plum Villa, or even the entire Northern Martial Forest Alliance. Therefore, Old Manor Lord had long arranged for my brothers to secretly recruit troops to prepare for unexpected situations."

Anji nodded and said, "Yes, I understand. Have you settled the troops yet?"

Meng Jian said, "Reporting to the fourth master, all the people have been settled down by the third master when we entered the city."

The An clan replied, "Alright. You two have worked hard. It's already late in the night. You should go and rest first."

The two of them bowed to the An clan member. Just as they were about to leave, An Teng suddenly said, "Fourth Manor Lord has another matter to attend to!"

An Jiajia said, "Speak!"

An Teng said, "Qi Peiya, Sect Leader Qi said she prepared a big present for the Young Manor Lord, and will not come until later."

The more An clan listened, the more they said, "Understood, let's go down!"

After the two of them left, the An clan laughed and said, "I wonder what kind of tricks Ya Er is playing this time?"

Zhu Di smiled. "Benefactor, there's no need to guess. There's so many capable people in your village. It's not surprising that something like that has happened!"

The An clan laughed. "Prince, you are being too serious!"

Zhu Quan asked, "Fourth Manor Lord, this king has a question that I don't know whether I should ask it or not?"

The An clan replied, "Your Highness, please speak!"

Zhu Quan asked, "Fourth Manor Lord, may I ask what is the meaning of this Eagle Camp? Is the military system of your manor generally different? "

"To reply your highness, the military system of this lowly village is different from that of the imperial army. I am in charge of the regular army and they are generally divided into five categories, the infantry, cavalry, crossbows, siege troops and firearm troops. Of course, there are many different types of troops below this."

Ning Wang and Zhu Quan nodded, "Manor Lord is right!"

An Jiajia continued, "However, the division of martial arts experts is slightly different from the imperial government's regular army. We use martial arts as our division."

Zhu Quan asked, "This king still doesn't understand what the Fourth Manor Lord means."

An family smiled and said, "For example, the Thousand Plum Villa has a total of six camps. They are the tiger camp, deer camp, eagle camp, rat camp, general camp and a reserve camp."

The An clan continued speaking while looking at Zhu Quan in a daze, "The tiger battalion, deer battalion, eagle battalion, and rat battalion are divided according to the nature of the martial arts. Yuan Chengzong also has a group of these troops, but they are called differently, and the tiger battalion belongs to the charge battalion. To put it simply, the people in this battalion are all experts in both internal and external techniques.

Zhu Quan nodded his head, but turned his head and said, "Then according to what the Fourth Manor Lord said, isn't that the Eagle Camp flying in the sky?"

The An clan replied, "Prince, you guessed wrong. The Eagle Camp is actually more or less the same as Xue Hongye's army …"

Zhu Di interrupted, "Assassin troops?"

An family replied, "Yes, almost like that. The members of the Eagle Camp are all experts who are skilled in qinggong, they can freely travel through the city, making it hard for people to catch them. Although the two princes didn't look like Meng Jian was arrogant just now, in reality, my qinggong is far inferior to his, and this army is mainly responsible for gathering intelligence and assassinating and assassinating people."

The second king nodded his head one by one, and the An family continued, "The deer camp is the one that does not fit this name the most, because the people in this camp are best at tracking and searching. No matter how much this person hides in a hidden place, or how good he is at getting rid of the people following him, it doesn't matter, because even if he is hiding and can be found by people from the deer camp, in fact, I have been found out by them several times."

At this point, the three of them laughed out loud and continued, "I was going to call this battalion the Dog Camp, but my brother called it the Deer Battalion because it was too bad, and the last rat battalion was led by Qi Peiya, who was mentioned just now. The rat battalion was not responsible for the frontline activities of the previous three battalions, they were mainly responsible for the logistics, including the most famous doctors, poison masters, blacksmiths, and equers in the rat battalion, but also included all kinds of extraordinary people in the lake."

Zhu Quan said, "I didn't expect that the Thousand Plum Garden would have such a huge system. Does the Fourth Manor Lord's general camp refer to the outer camp?"

The An clan replied, "The general camp has the least number of men. Only three can enter the general camp."

Zhu Quan asked, "Who is it?"

The more the more An family spoke, "My big brother is the old manor lord An Shicheng. Second sister An Jiayi is also the master of Hongmei Island. Also, my nephew, An Wuyou is still lying on the bed. The general camp was originally controlled by big brother himself, but now that big brother is missing, there is no longer any control over it …"

Zhu Di asked, "Even benefactor can't you enter the general camp?"

The An clan shook their heads. "No!"

Zhu Quan nodded and said, "Fourth Manor Lord, what about the outer camp?"

The An family cupped their hands and said, "The information about the outer camp is the biggest secret of the village. I can't reveal it to the two princes!"

The two kings heard his words and said, "Of course!" They did not ask any further. The three of them chatted for a while more. It was already late at night, so they all dispersed.
