"How was your rest last night?"

Early the next morning, the main hall of the Assassin's Mansion.

Seo Hwa-pyo drank porridge and ate a breakfast made of pickles and cakes while asking Kim Tae-yeon, who was also eating breakfast across from him.

Actually, the atmosphere of this breakfast was a bit weird.

In addition to Xu Huabiao and Kim Taeyeon, Zhou Jieqiong and Lee Yunxi both chose to keep their mouths shut.

Immerse yourself in eating.

"Very well, thank you, Lord Thorn." Kim Taeyeon also sensed this strange atmosphere and replied very seriously.

Try to make yourself look a little more business.

Then, the day chatted dead.

The atmosphere continues to be awkward.

Xu Huabiao glanced at Zhou Jieqiong, what does that mean, don't you feel indigestible when you eat breakfast in such a cold atmosphere?

Zhou Jieqiong was like she didn't know him.

seems to have forgotten how Xu Huabiao didn't get out of bed just in the morning......

Ahem.

"Thank you Lord Xu for taking care of me, I'll leave first."

This embarrassing atmosphere may not have made Zhou Jieqiong and Lee Yunxi indigestion, but Kim Taeyeon seems to be a little indigestion.

"You're not in a hurry, are you? It is rare for General Taeyeon to come to Luoyang...... Yun'er should go back to the city tomorrow, can you meet her before leaving? ”

"Yun'er is not in Luoyang? No wonder I didn't see her! Kim Taeyeon was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly.

“…… Or else? ”

"I thought it was ...... She didn't deserve to come here for breakfast. Kim Taeyeon took a deep look at Xu Huabiao.

"How could this be!"

"But why isn't Yun'er in Luoyang? What did she do? ”

"Oh, I have a cavalry team, and she trained it for me."

"Training?? Or cavalry? When did Yuna still have this ability? Kim Tae-yeon smiled.

"It's not like General Taeyeon's kind of training, it's just how Yuna herself trains her own, and let the others follow suit." Xu Huabiao smiled and said, "She should still do a good job." ”

"Yuna's own riding skills aren't very good, right? You let her train cavalry......"

"She wants to pull such a force herself, and I agreed! Anyway...... It's not bad for the money. ”

"This money......" Kim Taeyeon shook her head with a ridiculous smile, "but like you said, if this team all practices her own way of doing it in the first place...... It should be very combative, right? ”

"I don't know, she just has fun by herself."

“…… She can play as much as she wants? ”

"I'm not training in Luoyang to fight, just play!" Xu Huabiao said with a smile, "If you can't even do this, it's better to let her follow Li Xiuman." ”

"What kind of soldiers are you training for the sake of war!"

"In that situation last night, it would have taken a lot of soldiers to maintain order!" Xu Huabiao said with a smile, "Besides, many young adults who have nothing to do will have a way to exert their strength, and sooner or later something will happen." ”

“……”

"Well, after eating in a while, you can take a stroll around Luoyang City...... Well, I'll let Ahn Hee-yeon accompany you to take a look around. Today is the first day of the new year, and there should be a lot of activities everywhere. ”

"Well, there are fairs in a few urban areas. There are some new and interesting things that will be sold at the bazaar, and General Taeyeon can check them out. Zhou Jieqiong finally said a word.

"Ahn Hee-yeon? It's a familiar name......"

"Oh! Yun'er's maid is just the source of her power awakened, so she can be regarded as a guard now! Xu Huabiao explained with a smile.

"Then we're going to trouble her." Kim Taeyeon stood up directly.

“…… You're not eating? ”

"I don't usually eat breakfast."

"Oh......" Xu Huabiao looked out of the hall, "Someone." ”

"Yes, my lord." Song Joo-hee, who was on duty outside the door, walked in.

"Go and call An Xiyan over."

"Yes."

……

"Childe, have you eaten yet?"

Watching Kim Tae-yeon follow Song Joo-hee out of the restaurant, Lee Yeon-hee asked Seo Hwa-biao with a smile.

"Huh? What, something? ”

“…… Have you forgotten that yesterday during the rehearsal you said that you would meet those Hun girls today? Li Yunxi glanced at Xu Huabiao a little speechlessly.

“……”

"He saw Kim Taeyeon and didn't remember anything." Zhou Jieqiong said a little sourly beside her, "I really don't know, why is he so good to those people under Li Xiuman...... Yoona too, and this Kim Taeyeon too...... Alas, don't you like these people whose sources of power have awakened? ”

"We're so pitiful!" Li Yunxi sighed with a sad face.

Be quiet.

"Enough of you." Xu Huabiao has a black line in his head.

Glared at the two of them.

Zhou Jieqiong and Li Yunxi laughed together.

"Okay, don't pretend to be jealous, I'll take it seriously." Xu Huabiao said seriously, "If you really mind, then I ......."

"Compared to how many Hun girls you want to be guards, I don't think it matters whether you like a girl like us or a girl whose source of strength has awakened." Li Yunxi shook his head seriously.

"Hun girls as guards??" Zhou Jieqiong looked at Xu Huabiao a little dumbfounded.

"This ...... Actually, it's not in the way, right? ”

"How can it not get in the way! Kim Jong Kook took Xian Eunjing to destroy their clan, and you still want to keep them by your side as guards? You are crazy?? I'm afraid that people won't find a chance for revenge, aren't you! Zhou Jieqiong's face was ridiculous.

"It's not that serious......"

"Why isn't it that serious!" Zhou Jieqiong's head shook very simply, "No! This one is absolutely not going to work! No...... Where did the Hun girls come from? ”

As he spoke, he looked at Li Yunxi over and over again.

"Sent by Kim Jong Kook before, it was said that there were a few fatherless and motherless, and they were quite beautiful orphans, and I thought that the dance and music yamen were not bad for these mouths anyway, so I stayed. I didn't expect that when Childe saw it yesterday, he thought about accepting it as a guard......"

"Absolutely not!" Zhou Jieqiong said resolutely again.

"I don't agree with it either, but Childe said that he can control it, and I think I should listen to his ......" Li Yunxi glanced at it.

"Why do you listen to her so much...... Ji Hyo!! Zhou Jieqiong shouted inside.

"What's the matter, ma'am?" Song Ji-hyo walked out of the back hall.

"You go and ask Master Bae Joo-hyun to come over."

"Oh! Good! Song Zhixiao agreed very simply and left directly.

"You don't have to do this......" Xu Huabiao was a little embarrassed.

"Husband, this orphan is different from the Quan Nara and the others you adopted from Luoyang City before, you are kind to Quan Nara and them, but you have an enmity with these people! Do you still expect them to let go of their revenge and be your guards? That's impossible! Zhou Jieqiong persuaded bitterly.

“……”

Xu Huabiao didn't know what to say.

In fact, he can more or less understand that what Zhou Jieqiong said is right.

But the question is......

Seeing a few characters in front of him who will definitely be useful, not under his command, Xu Huabiao always feels that it is the same as playing an RPG game and seeing that the treasure chest is not opened.

Tyrannical things!!

"I'll go and call those Hun girls!" Li Yunxi looked at Zhou Jieqiong's resolute opposition and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, her attitude is almost exactly the same as Zhou Jieqiong, but compared to Zhou Jieqiong, who can stand up and express her absolute disagreement, Li Yunxi is a little afraid to express her own opinions.

She was still a little afraid of Xu Huabiao......

"Well, if you can make sense for a while, you will continue to keep them in the dance and music yamen, it doesn't make sense...... Send them directly out of the city and let them go back to the Xiongnu tribe. Zhou Jieqiong seems to want to set the tone for Xu Huabiao here.

Xu Huabiao shook his head and didn't answer this sentence.

After a while, Bae Joo-hyun arrived.

She looked a little embarrassed, which proved that this girl slept with a wine jar last night, as she was used to.

Zhou Jieqiong didn't care about this, but told Pei Zhuhyun what Xu Huabiao planned to do.

"We said we wouldn't listen to him, you can persuade him!"

After Zhou Jieqiong finished speaking, she made it clear that she meant to call her.

"Huh? Oh, I don't think it's a big deal what the lord did! Pei Zhuhyun scratched his messy hair, and then, very seriously, said, "Madam, you were born in a royal noble, and you take grievances and hatreds very seriously, but for ordinary people born in troubled times, some things are not so important, let alone a race like the Huns." ”

"But after all, it's the revenge of killing my father......" Zhou Jieqiong didn't expect Pei Zhuhyun to have this attitude at all, and she was a little surprised.

"After the death of the patriarch of the Huns, even the wife will be inherited by the son, and they really don't take these things so seriously." Bae Joo-hyun shook his head, "As long as the lord can let them live well, they will definitely regard the lord as a benefactor." ”

"How is this possible......"

"That lady, do you remember that Li Xiuman once slaughtered the city in Xuzhou?"

"Of course I do! Because of this, Kim Jun-so betrayed Lee so-man and took Kim Jong-kook to occupy Yanju ......"

"Then now, Xuzhou is already Li Xiuman's territory, have you seen people in Xuzhou who want to take revenge on Li Xiuman?"

“……”

"Not only did they not plan to take revenge, but the scholars of Xuzhou personally arched Xuzhou to Li Xiuman's hands." Pei Zhuhyun smiled and shook his head, "The Central Plains is still like this, madam, do you really think that the Huns in the wilderness land will care about their tribe losing to the lord in the war...... Ah, no, isn't it even a defeat to the lord, it's a matter of defeat to Kim Jong Kook? Bae Joo-hyun asked with a smile, "Moreover, if it weren't for the lord, their lives might be gone." They...... Maybe it's really gratitude to the lord, not resentment? ”

“…… But you can't keep it around and be a guard......"

"Is the source of their power originally awakened, or has it just awakened?" Bae Joo-hyun looked at Lee Yeon-hee and asked.

"Haven't woken up yet! It was your lord who said they would awaken......"

"Oh! That is, it will awaken in the future! That is equivalent to the lord helping them awaken the source of their strength and get rid of the fate of being treated as slaves, cows and horses......"

"Wait a minute! You are also a strategist, how can you believe your husband so easily when they want to awaken and wake up? ”

"If I don't have this level of trust in my lord, why should I serve him?" Bae Joo-hyun took it for granted, "And since the source of their strength hasn't awakened yet, this matter is much easier to operate." ”

“…… What do you mean? Xu Huabiao, who had been silent beside him, watching Pei Zhuhyun help him persuade Zhou Jieqiong and Li Yunxi, interjected and came in.

"Childe, you might as well help Song Jihyo and Ahn Hee-yeon awaken the source of power by helping them awaken the source of power."

Pei Zhuhyun looked at Xu Huabiao, and the corners of his mouth pulled out a slight arc.
