There is still one month until the Spring Banquet.

With the arrival of spring, the training session at the General's Mansion also ended.

Helan Xuenuo still went to the training ground every day, and Yuan Xu waited for her there every day.

"Yesterday, an assassin sneaked into the mansion. Judging from her figure, she must be a woman, but she was so skilled in martial arts that she escaped. Send more people to guard the courtyard these days to prevent anyone from being harmed."

Yuan Xu was lying on the couch and talking. He asked Helan Xuenuo to practice basic skills. Helan Xuenuo was doing a horse stance with beads of sweat on her forehead. She kept swinging her legs and persisted for a long time.

"It's not some girl you provoked, is it?" Helan Xuenuo spoke with her lips open, sweat dripping down her forehead into her mouth, tasting salty.

Yuan Xu stood up, walked to Helan Xuenuo, bent down to look at her, and gently tapped her head. "I'm serious with you. Your uncle and aunt are away these days, and my father told me to take good care of you. The world is turbulent and the political situation is uncertain. In front of us is the Ulan Kingdom, watching covetously, and behind us is the Red Seal Kingdom, sitting on the mountain and watching the fight, trying to reap the benefits.

You and I both serve in the General's Mansion, and are also important pillars of the Donglai State. It's impossible for us to come openly. We can only be spies sent by some country. However, we don't know where this spy is hiding. He disappeared without a trace and cannot be tracked down.

Yuan Xu was surprisingly calm when he said this, and his eyes seemed to be thinking deeply about something.

He straightened up and returned to his usual self. He looked at Helan Xuenuo in front of him, curiosity flashing in his eyes. "I'm not saying anything, Helan Rendong, have you been practicing secretly somewhere? Two hours have passed, and you haven't moved at all. Can you still hold on?"

How could she not be able to hold on? In her previous life, she had to kneel for two hours every day in the palace. If she fainted, she would be splashed with water to wake her up and continue kneeling. Her patience was cultivated to the extreme by Qi Didi.

Helan Xuenuo exhaled, stood up, straightened her dress, and wiped the sweat off her face with a handkerchief. She said, "You still have to worry. The Yuan family is in the open, and she's in the dark. I'm afraid she'll fail the assassination and come back again."

Helan Xuenuo remembered the assassination in her previous life, but the assassin was never caught, and he failed twice.

Yuan Xu was indeed seriously injured, and she was worried that Yuan Xu's injury would affect his training, so she had to help Yuan Xu.

She remembered that in her previous life, Yuan Xu was injured in the arm and was attacked by a female assassin while trying to protect his younger brother. However, the female assassin only stabbed him once before escaping.

Two days later, the female assassin will make a comeback.

"You mean, she will come again?" Yuan Xu looked at Helan Xuenuo curiously.

"I do have an idea, I wonder if you would like to hear it?" Helan Xuenuo had a plan in mind and a sly smile appeared on his face.

"tell me the story."

Yuan Xu leaned over, and Helan Xuenuo whispered something in his ear, her breath constantly spraying on his ear. He only felt itchy and almost didn't hear what was said.

After Helan Xuenuo left his ear, Yuan Xu's ears were red as if they were on fire. She gestured with her hand for Yuan Xu to lower his head. Yuan Xu obediently lowered his head and moved closer to her. She slapped Yuan Xu on the head and said, "Did you hear clearly just now? If you didn't, it won't be my fault if you get seriously injured later."

"I heard it clearly, I heard it clearly." Yuan Xu touched his ear, and his hand felt a little hot when it touched his ear.

Helan Xuenuo's method was simple and crude, which was to send the brother who caused Yuan Xu to be attacked by an assassin to Helan Mansion to avoid the limelight temporarily, and then send him back after the assassination was completed.

It was not until Yuan Xu's younger brother was sent to Helan Mansion that Helan Xuenuo learned that Yuan Xu's younger brother was only five years old. She took a look at the child and felt that he looked a little familiar.

"Yuan Zhao, stay well in Helan Mansion these few days. If I find out that you've been naughty, I'll take you back and spank you."

Yuan Xu squatted down and gave instructions to little Yuanzhao. He seemed to know that little Yuanzhao would be naughty and do something.

The next second, Xiao Yuanzhao did just that.

"Sister, are you my future sister-in-law?" Little Yuanzhao walked towards Helan Xuenuo with a smile, tugged at the corner of Helan Xuenuo's clothes, raised his eyes with a childlike look on his face.

Yuan Xu touched his head helplessly. He walked over and patted little Yuan Zhao on the head. "I just told you not to act naughty, and now you're talking nonsense."

Little Yuanzhao touched his forehead which was hit by Yuanxu, and hid behind Helan Xuenuo with a wronged look on his face.

"Okay, the child doesn't understand anything, don't bother with him." Helan Xuenuo stood in front of Yuanzhao. She lowered her head to look at little Yuanzhao, who looked like a white meat ball and was very cute.

"That's right, I'm just a kid, I say whatever I want to say!" Yuanzhao supported his waist and responded proudly.

Yuan Xu glared at him, and he timidly hid behind Helan Xuenuo.

Helan Xuenuo turned around and squatted, holding little Yuanzhao's hand, "Yuanzhao, if you make such a joke again in the future, don't blame me for spanking you!"

"Okay, I'll listen to my sister." Little Yuanzhao showed a row of small teeth when he spoke.

"Yuan Xu, I didn't expect that your brother is so much older than you." Helan Xuenuo smiled with her head down, which made Yuan Xu feel embarrassed.

"It's my fault. I said I was too bored back then, but my parents gave birth to a younger brother for me to play with!" Yuan Xu shook his head.

Yuan Xu's parents have always had a good relationship. When Yuan Xu was ten years old, they took Yuan Xu to guard Jiaqing Pass. In the past few years, foreign enemies often invaded. Later, the foreign enemies were frightened by Yuan Xu's father Yuan Shu, so they spent more time in the army. In addition, Yuan Xu complained of being bored every day, so the couple discussed and decided to give birth to little Yuan Zhao.

However, little Yuanzhao was naughty by nature and neither the couple could handle him. He was only afraid of his brother and grandfather.

Yuan Xu's grandfather was a rather terrifying man. It was rumored that when he was young, he led troops to fight in battles and often attacked enemy camps at night, causing unrest among the enemy. He was also very energetic and would launch attacks every now and then for no reason. He also loved to bury bombs, and every time he did, he hit the target. He was a very scary opponent.

After he realized that he had no rival, he took off his armor and stayed in his mansion, spending all day studying some strange things such as sulfur shells.

Therefore, Yuan Shu’s ability to frequently win battles was inseparable from the contributions of his father.

When the couple saw Yuan Zhao off today, they were both grinning from ear to ear. General Yuan said, "Zhao'er, stay for a few more days. Don't be afraid to bother others. Your uncle Helan and I are very close friends. If you get used to living here, you can stay there."

Madam Yuan looked at General Yuan with a smile in her eyes, "The two of us finally have time to live our own lives."

"Ma'am, where do you want to go?"

"I want to try the Drunken Chicken at Wenxianglou. I heard they only allow fifty customers a day! Old man, take me there tomorrow!"

"Daddy and Mommy, I want to eat Drunken Chicken too." Yuanzhao stared at the couple with his round eyes.

"Be good, when we get to the Helan Mansion, Sister Xue Nuo will be very nice to you. She will buy you whatever you want to eat." Madam Yuan squatted down and coaxed little Yuan Zhao.

"Really?"

"real!"

Yuan Xu frowned and looked at his unreliable parents. After giving birth to little Yuanzhao, they left him to take care of most of the time. They often disliked little Yuanzhao for being naughty. Now they wished Yuanzhao would not come back so that no one would disturb them.

"I'll leave this kid in your care." Yuan Xu stepped out of the door and then took his foot back, turning around and thinking about what to say.

"Hurry up, hurry up." Little Yuanzhao put his hands on his waist and replied to Yuanzhao impatiently.

"Let's go." Helan Xuenuo saw that Yuan Xu looked reluctant to leave, and it seemed that he still cared about his younger brother.

"Mr. Yuan, take care. We will take good care of the little young master." Xiao Zhu touched little Yuanzhao's head and said goodbye to Yuan Xu with a smile.

Yuan Xu was surprised. This girl has changed her personality? It seems that Helan Rendong has trained her well.
