Lin Xiaoyue glanced at Li Xiao and smiled.

“Forget it. Even if you go, there is an apocalypse.”

“This place is better. At least it’s safe.”

Li Xiao smiled and patted Lin Xiaoyue’s head, then pulled her into his arms.

“What’s important is that I’m here.”

Lin Xiaoyue, who was about to struggle, suddenly stopped struggling and leaned into Li Xiao’s arms.

It was winter, so it was warm.

The two of them walked along the outside of the Liu residence.

“Why don’t I come back and help you?” Li Xiao suddenly said.

Lin Xiaoyue was stunned.

“At the dock…” Of course, she hoped that Li Xiao would come back to help her, but she did not want him to sacrifice his career.

“Liang Yu should be back soon. There is a high chance that the First Prince would come. After that…” Li Xiao didn’t continue.

“What will happen after that?” Lin Xiaoyue turned around and looked up at Li Xiao.

“After that, I’m afraid I won’t be able to stay in Daishi Village.” Li Xiao frowned.

The First Prince had tried every means possible to find him, and now that he had found him, there was no way he would let him stay in Daishi Village.

At that time, he would go to him to be his guard, or be sent elsewhere. In short, he would not be able to stay here.

Lin Xiaoyue’s heart clenched.

Li Xiao would leave after meeting the First Prince. She had never thought about this before.

That’s right, Li Xiao was the young general who made the enemies tremble on the battlefield. He was the young master of the Nangong Clan’s army.

If she allowed him to return, it would mean ending everything between them.

“I’ll go with you.”

Li Xiao smiled dotingly at Lin Xiaoyue and patted her head.

“You just have to do the business and take good care of your mother and Qing’er.” He said gently.

His identity could not be exposed, so leaving might be a good thing.

However, he couldn’t bear to…

Staring at Li Xiao’s expression, Lin Xiaoyue was furious but powerless.

She was furious, because even though she had hundreds of thousands of years of wisdom compared to the people of this era, she could not solve Li Xiao’s problem.

She was furious, because she realized that she was still small and powerless.

Feeling a warm sensation on her forehead, Lin Xiaoyue realized that Li Xiao had lowered his head and planted a kiss on her forehead.

“So, the work at the dock is no longer important. Let me come back and help you.”

This was the only thing he could do for his wife before he left.

Lin Xiaoyue paused.

Looking at the man with gentle eyes, an urgent and strong impulse exploded in her heart.

She wanted to become stronger and grow her wings as quickly as possible. She wanted to become the person who could travel with him.

“You have people?” Suppressing her emotions, Lin Xiaoyue asked Li Xiao.

“Yes.” Li Xiao replied.

“The people in the army.” Li Xiao said.

Lin Xiaoyue was surprised.

Li Xiao continued, “it’s the Nangong Clan’s private army. On the surface, there are a total of 10,000 people stationed at the border. They had lost more than 4,000 men in the last battle, and now they were left with nearly 6,000 men.”

“But other than the people at the border, there are actually 1,000 more. Some of them have gone to the enemy country to scout for information, while some are still in the country.”

“There are a total of 400 people left in the country. Other than being on guard, the main purpose was to get the military pay.”

Lin Xiaoyue was shocked.

A bitter smile appeared on Li Xiao’s face.

“The imperial court doesn’t pay private armies. In addition, even for the army of the Imperial Court, the little amount of food and pay that they gave was not enough.”

“Weapons, spears, swords, halberds, armor, and armor require money to forge and repair. Soldiers need money to eat. The most important thing is the compensation for the dead and injured soldiers, and the expenses are not small.”

“Father has been guarding the border for nearly forty years. Other than training and taking care of army, he has also provided a lot of subsidies for the Imperial Court’s army.”

Lin Xiaoyue understood.

No wonder the Great General was so popular.

The fact that he used his own money to help the army meant that he was dedicated to the Imperial Court.

It was unfortunate what happened to him.

Seeing that Li Xiao looked down when he mentioned the Great General, Lin Xiaoyue quickly changed the topic.

“You mean, after what happened to the Nangong Clan, the 400 people are still fine?” Lin Xiaoyue asked.

Li Xiao sighed. “We lost some people, but most of them are fine.” Li Xiao said.

The army was the most powerful army in the great Yan. Each of the soldiers could fight ten on his own. It was not that Emperor Yan did not want to destroy them, but he could not.

The army had a special status. If he acted rashly, it was very likely that they would cause a riot.

The best way was to get them on his side.

Even if he couldn’t, he had to find a reasonable excuse to wipe out the entire Nangong army. Only then could the Nangong Clan be completely destroyed..
