Reborn Black Lotus can read minds

"You also know that I have transferred thousands of people to work as labor soldiers. Now the only ones who can fight are the [-]th Corps and my bodyguards. Together, there are less than a hundred people."

Yang Xian's lips trembled.

Xiao Xingyun chewed the vegetable leaves in his mouth. He thought it tasted delicious and scooped up all the vegetable leaves in the pork soup at once.

Ye Jin looked at him suspiciously, wondering why the master always ate vegetable leaves, his expression looked like he was eating some delicacy.

Xiao Xingyun enjoyed the delicious food only to realize that the man in front of him was so frightened that his face turned blue.

He reassured: "Huyanye won't hit us, for now."

Yang Xian asked tremblingly: "Why do you dare to be so sure, Master Jun?"

Xiao Xingyun raised his eyelids: "It's very simple. He and Hu Yanmo don't get along. Obviously we have eliminated a big harm to him."

Yang Xianxin put it down again, and when she was about to get the vegetables, she found that there was only soup left in the pot.

Xiao Xingyun added: "This is just a short-term peace. When he has prepared his troops and sharpened his weapons, he will attack us under the pretext of washing away the humiliation of the Huns."

Yang Xian's heart was moved by Xiao Xingyun: "In accordance with Master Jun's wishes...how should we respond?"

Xiao Xingyun's long eyes flashed slightly, and he poked his chopsticks on the table, "The key lies in Liu Daofeng, the leader of the refugees."

Yang Xian's mouth and eyes widened at the same time: "Master Jun, do you mean to incorporate Liu Daofeng?"

Xiao Xingyun nodded happily. It seemed that Yang Xian had communicated with him more and became much smarter.

"I don't have many soldiers now. It would be stupid to fight them head-on," Xiao Xingyun said bluntly. "Negotiating and each getting what they need is a wise move. Besides, I have already repelled the Huns. As far as they are concerned, is one

A very good show of force. "

Although Yang Xian couldn't keep up with Xiao Xingyun's thinking, he was still good at asking questions, so he asked: "Forgive the stupid people, why on earth did the military master reduce the seven thousand soldiers to ninety soldiers?"

This is the question he has always had, as well as the question of Ye Jin, Dashan and Dajiang, so all three heads came together at once.

Xiao Xingyun said calmly: "It's very simple, because I don't want to fight, I just want to build something."

The four of them looked at each other, not understanding what they meant.

"You have a mine in the northwest of Tao County, right?" Xiao Xingyun looked at Yang Xian.

Yang Xian thought for a while, and sure enough, he really remembered such a place, "In the past, this mine still had some contacts with the outside world. There was an accident decades ago, and the mine was gone. Later, we couldn't eat enough food. Even more, no one is going to do that thing. Once the trade routes are cut off, the inns are gone, and finally the channel to communicate with the outside world is lost. I guess if I look for it now, I may not be able to find it."

"Who was in charge of mining before?" Xiao Xingyun asked.

"The Chu family of Jinzhou." Yang Xian replied, "It's just that a long time ago, the Chu family's crime declined. Today, the descendants of the Chu family are running around and there is no whereabouts."

Xiao Xingyun thought for a while, "Are there any Chu people in Tao County now?"

Yang Xian slapped his forehead and said, "Master, it's true. My adopted daughter, Yanzhi, was originally the daughter of the Chu family in Jinzhou. Later, I saw that her fate was miserable. This child is also stubborn. She would rather suffer hardships than follow those high officials. She went to enjoy her happiness, so I adopted her.”

"Rouge?" Xiao Xingyun felt that the name sounded familiar.

"Among the women who were sent to serve the military master, the only one you left behind

indivual. "Yang Xian warned carefully.

Xiao Xingyun remembered that 17-year-old girl.

At this time, Shen Yuan served the braised pork on the table.

The pork front legs are soaked in marinade and are bright red in color. The color is bright and the flesh is ruddy.

The fiery red tender meat and alluring aroma whet the appetites of several people.

"The aroma is rich, the meat is smooth and tender, and it melts in your mouth. It is really wonderful. This taste should only be found in heaven, and is rarely seen in the world."

Reply, hahahaha, the bird-headed military advisor is indeed all-powerful! "Yang Xian did not hesitate to praise.

Ye Jin couldn't wait to tear off a piece, and the remaining meat bounced and oil and water leaked out.

"The braised meat is crispy, fat but not greasy!" Ye Jin looked at Shen Yuan in surprise.

You know, he had eaten braised pork cooked by the chef in Xiao Mansion, and compared with this, it was more than twice as bad.

Shen Yuan joked in her heart, this was instructed by a special palace chef, could the taste be bad? How could the chef of Xiao Mansion be comparable?

Dajiang and Dashan didn't talk, and they didn't use any formal words. They just kept eating, as if they were starving ghosts about to be reincarnated. If they don't eat tonight, they won't have to eat in the future. They wolfed down their food.

Only Xiao Xingyun didn't eat.

He stood up and saw Yang Xian off: "It's getting late, Captain Yang, please go back."

Seeing that Yang Xian was gone and Xiao Xingyun looked like he didn't want to see the remaining people, Ye Jin took Dajiang and Dashan away knowingly.

Only Shen Yuan and the fragrant braised pork were left in the house.

The moonlight shone in from the window, fell on the floor, and also fell on his shoulders.

"What are you doing this for today?" he asked.

He naturally knew that Shen Yuan had never been a well-behaved woman. She took the initiative to go to the county government office to make porridge and establish a people-friendly attitude for the imperial army.

Image, and took the initiative to take over the cooking job. He was not Ye Jin, so he would not think that she was just showing off her pig-raising achievements.

Shen Yuan nodded slightly, his voice neither loud nor quiet.

"Please the third young master."

Xiao Xingyun was slightly startled.

He didn't understand what she meant by pleasing. He promised her, but if she didn't want to, he wouldn't do anything. He knew that she wanted power, so he gave her cavalry training. He taught her the sword without reservation, and even took her to the Huns' palace for actual combat.

This whole time, he was the one pleasing her.

Xiao Xingyun looked at her, "Whatever you want, just say it. You don't have to please me."

Shen Yuan walked closer to him step by step, closer, and then closer.

Getting closer, she took another step forward, and her light green dress seemed to be sticking to Xiao Xingyun's legs.

Unexpectedly, she put a hand on Xiao Xingyun's shoulder, bent slightly, and looked into his eyes carefully.

"Third Young Master, what you said that day, please go back and think about it carefully." She said, "I am just a humble servant. If I hadn't been promoted by Third Young Master, I wouldn't have been able to enter the Third Academy, let alone have the chance to follow you." The third young master came to such a distant place, and even had the opportunity to learn some of the young master's martial arts, and lead some of the young master's troops..."

Her voice was calm and tinged with self-pity.

As she spoke, her hand touched his chest, her eyelashes trembling slightly.

"I thought about it for a long time, and then I figured out that in the past, I was ignorant and always greedy. I was unwilling to give up some things and wanted to get more things. But recently, I suddenly figured it out. Perhaps, after obeying the Third Young Master , is the best way out for this slave."

Xiao Xingyun's face darkened.

Very good, not only did he call him Third Young Master, but he also regained his former nickname.
