The guards of the Prince Lu Mansion, naturally, were not all just freeloading.
Just think, even the Song family from Ru Nan city, the overlord we mentioned before in our story... His family employs experts like Zhao Tiaotiao and Ma Zhao, so could the retainers raised by the prince's mansion be any worse than those of the old Song family?
Moreover, as we have mentioned before, Zhu He isn't an ordinary Princely Heir; he is a very ambitious man, so the number of "experts" he keeps under him is by no means small.
Of course... among them are many who just muddle along, pretending to be more capable than they really are, the majority, in fact.
After all, the little prince himself is only so-so in martial arts; he can't tell which ones are truly skilled and which ones are just capable of duping a layman like him.
And those "experts"? Whether genuine or fake... none of them would expose each other's true skill levels in front of their master.
This, too, has become an industry rule.
