If his scary cousin could marry a beautiful wife, he could too!
“Shut up.” Li Xiao, who was in front, couldn’t take it anymore and shouted angrily.
His aura shut Xiao Yang up for a moment.
“Come here.” Taking advantage of this moment, Li Xiao waved at Lin Xiaoyue.
Lin Xiaoyue heaved a sigh of relief and quickly went to Li Xiao’s side.
This cousin of his was too friendly, she couldn’t take it.
Xiao Yang came back to his senses and was about to express his dissatisfaction with Li Xiao.
“Close the door,” however, he then heard Li Xiao say in a commanding tone.
“Yes.” Then, as if it was a reflex, he obeyed.
He frowned, hating himself for forming a habit.
However, he still turned around and closed the door.
When he closed the door and came back, Li Xiao had already brought Lin Xiaoyue to sit down.
At this moment, Li Xiao’s aura was fully unleashed, and Xiao Yang didn’t dare to smile anymore.
Xiao Yang and Head Fang looked at each other.
Then, the two of them stepped forward and bowed to Li Xiao and Lin Xiaoyue.
“Master, Mistress!”
“No need for formalities.” Li Xiao said.
Only then did the two of them stand up.
“I came here this time to discuss with you about bringing back the Nangong Army.” Li Xiao said.
Xiao Yang and General Manager Fang were stunned when they heard this.
Xiao Yang was especially surprised.
“Really? Master, have you made up your mind?” He looked at Li Xiao.
Ever since the Nangong family met with trouble, the soldiers had long wanted to leave the border.
However, due to various reasons and the fact that their master had not spoken, they did not dare to act rashly.
He had returned from the border to ask about the situation on behalf of the soldiers.
However, Head Fang had not even seen his master.
Today, they finally came. Otherwise, he would have gone to look for them.
The soldiers at the border really couldn’t take it anymore.
There wasn’t enough cotton clothes to wear, and some of them were so cold that they didn’t dare to come out of their tents.
There was a lack of food, and almost all the horses were slaughtered.
If this dragged on, they would collapse before Emperor Yan could attack them.
Head Fang also looked at Li Xiao excitedly.
“Yes.” Li Xiao responded.
Then, he told the two of them the results of their negotiations with Prince Anyang.
The two of them were surprised.
Would that work?
Sell themselves as slaves and use the slave transportation route of the Zhou Trading Company to return?
It sounded unbelievable.
But after thinking about it, it might work.
The Zhou Trading Company belonged to Emperor Yan, and the checks were the most lenient. Using this route to escape had the lowest probability of being discovered.
“Zhou Ji will arrive in Nan’an County three days later. At that time, Prince Anyang’s men would go to him immediately.”
“We are only waiting for news from His Highness. When the news was confirmed, they could head to the border.” Li Xiao continued.
Xiao Yang and Head Fang looked at each other. “Yes!” They excitedly cupped their fists at Li Xiao.
A moment later, a hint of worry appeared on Head Fang’s face.
“Regarding the arrangements…”
A smile actually appeared on Li Xiao’s face. Then, he turned his head and looked at Lin Xiaoyue.
Lin Xiaoyue then looked at Head Fang and Xiao Yang and told them about the plan.
“His Highness has already arranged for winter clothes and wool for the winter. Then, we would build some houses in the manors so that they could live there.”
“There are a lot of things to do in the manors. Building houses, clearing up wasteland…”
Head Fang smiled. “Don’t worry about that. It’s good to have something to do.”
Lin Xiaoyue nodded.
Then, she told them about her plans for the manor, the chili workshop, and the chain stores.
Hearing this, Head Fang and Xiao Yang were shocked.
Previously, the two of them had actually heard some things about Lin Xiaoyue from Li Xiaon. They admired Lin Xiaoyue even more at the moment.
After hearing her plans, they felt that their mistress was not just talented. She was simply a genius!
“I heard from Li Xiao that other than the assets that were confiscated, you have already dealt with the rest.” Lin Xiaoyue said to Head Fang.
“Yes.” Head Fang replied with a heavy heart.
The Nangong Clan had accumulated wealth for generations, but the Nangong Army’s money had been taken away.
“In terms of manpower, 1 heard that we didn’t lose much?” Lin Xiaoyue asked.
“Yes. Only 28 servants were lost. At present, we still have 378 servants.”
Lin Xiaoyue thought of something.
“Are you willing to listen to my orders and help me manage the snack workshop?”
Head Fang was stunned for a moment, then his face lit up with joy.
“We will obey your orders!” He immediately knelt down on one knee.
Head Fang knelt down sincerely.
Previously, he had been worried about the retreat of the Nangong Army. After knowing that this problem could be solved, he was worried about their accommodation..
