"Young Master, Miss."
The guard at the entrance to the market town lowered his head slightly, called out softly, and then looked away.
"Um."
Xiao Feng nodded in return, and Xun'er smiled back.
The flow of people was chaotic, and no one even noticed the special identities of the two people. They just flowed towards the market in a noisy manner.
"Captain... who are they?"
Only his companions noticed the guard's unusual behavior.
"Do you know which family is in charge of this market?" The guard looked at the newcomer and suddenly smiled, with an amused look on his face.
"Of course they are from the Xiao family... Wait, they are from the Xiao family?!"
The new people were excited and stretched their necks to look inside for a few times: "Looking at this, they are really a match made in heaven~"
"Don't speak carelessly but you can say more good words." The guard slapped him on the head and said.
"Hehe~ Just a joke." The new guy twisted his body and received the kick, "But Captain, it looks like you are quite familiar with this young master and young lady!"
He rubbed it with his hands while laughing.
If you can make friends with a noble person and become successful, why don't you help your brothers? That's not very kind.
"What are you familiar with~"
The guard retorted angrily: "Young Master Xiao Feng treats everyone kindly. You haven't seen me much, so why do you think I am here? Isn't it because of him?"
Young Master Xiao Feng
The newcomer, however, grasped the point: "The Young Master Xiao Feng you're talking about is that genius Xiao Feng!"
"That's right!" The gaurd captain nodded.
…
"Brother Feng, your reputation among the mercenaries is not low~" Xun'er smiled and said while holding his hand.
From Ling Ying, she learned how the Xiao family recruit these mercenaries.
After he returned, Xiao Feng increased their treatment, so she naturally knew everything.
Food and clothing are provided, resources for spiritual practice are given, jobs are safe and stable, and life is simple yet abundant.
In daily life, they treat everyone equally regardless of their strength or status, and the only requirement they make is to maintain public order.
Apart from these, Xiao Feng also recruited a number of injured people to open shops, which not only saved manpower but also added a lot of goods to the market.
In a sense he was a pretty good steward.
"…"
Xiao Feng listened to Xun'er's comments and didn't know how to respond for a moment.
He couldn't say that he recruited these mercenaries to be used as consumables, right?
The reason we take the trouble to raise them is to reduce the risk of danger to our family members, so that there will be a group of people to fill in when needed.
Personnel are gradually transferred out to prevent justice from coming and taking down the Xiao family one day.
"I can offer so many benefits purely because I have other motives. If they don't provide good food and drink, who would risk their lives for me?"
"Eh——" Xun'er was stunned for a moment.
But then she smiled playfully, "And the old, weak, sick, and disabled as well?"
"If they feel that their future is taken care of by someone, they will naturally be more devoted to their work."
"Hehe..." Xun'er smiled but said nothing.
Okay, okay~ You talk about yours, I understand mine, and we won't interfere with each other.
Ah, yes, yes, yes ~ you understand reading comprehension.
For some reason, the girl was particularly energetic.
"Xun'er, you seem to be in a good mood right now~ Do you like shopping?"
Seeing Xun'er suddenly full of energy, he felt a little happier.
Who doesn't like a lively girl?
Xiao Feng stretched out his finger and scanned the many shops, and said with great generosity: "Xun'er, is there anything you want? I'll pay for it."
"Anything?" Xun'er glanced at him.
"Of course~ Today you can do what you want. Just tell me what you want." Xiao Feng was full of confidence as he pointed at the gold coins in his hand.
Although I always feel that there is something wrong with Xun'er, but she is just a little girl, what else can she ask for? The money in my hand is definitely enough to squander.
"Then... uh..."
Xun'er twisted her hair, looking a little uneasy. She hesitated for a long time without uttering any audible words.
"Don't worry if you can't think of it."
Xiao Feng thought she was undecided: "Then let's go around first? I'll accompany you to look around, and you can think about it slowly on the way. How do you think?"
He didn't know if it was his illusion, but as he said this, Xun'er's battery seemed to be visibly full.
"Okay~"
So Xiao Feng took her shopping.
"Asshole! What the hell are you selling? Are you trying to cheat me out of my money?" As if it was destined, a discordant voice interrupted at the right time.
Xiao Feng immediately felt a headache.
Did he suddenly encounter protagonist treatment!?
Could it be that he is also a protagonist now and has the ability to be passively trigger it events?
That station is an event attractor.
However, among the people present, there were some who were more excited than him...
Hearing the voice, Xun'er closed her eyes and took a deep breath, as if trying to calm herself down.
Open your eyes.
"Brother Xiao Feng." Xun'er grinned slightly, "How about I go and kill him?"
....
