“Liang Yu.” He said.
“Yes.” Liang Yu cupped his fists and bowed.
“I’ll leave this matter to you.” Prince Anyang said in a deep voice.
Liang Yu lowered his head, his expression bitter.
“Yes.”
Whether it was for the big picture or His Highness, he had to give up more than 10,000 taels of silver.
Li Xiao quickly thanked Liang Yu.
Liang Yu felt bitter in his heart, but he smiled and told Li Xiao not to be polite.
Lin Xiaoyue was also very happy.
“Then the Nangong Army will be able to return.”
“Congratulations, Your Highness, you are about to obtain a large number of elite soldiers!” Lin Xiaoyue smiled and congratulated the Prince Anyang.
Prince Anyang laughed loudly.
Although it was painful to spend the money, it wasn’t a bad thing to be able to win the hearts of these 6,000 elite soldiers.
Lin Xiaoyue carefully raised her head and glanced at the smiling Prince Anyang.
Seeing that he was indeed no longer angry, she continued to speak.
“There’s another issue regarding their accommodation.”
As soon as she said that, the smile on Prince Anyang’s face instantly stiffened and then disappeared.
Liang Yu also looked at Lin Xiaoyue nervously.
He knew that she hadn’t finished, she had something up her sleeve.
As expected.
Under Prince Anyang’s displeased gaze, Lin Xiaoyue’s face quickly turned bitter.
“Your Highness, it’s not that I’m unwilling to accommodate them…”
“After the incident at the Great General’s Mansion, the Nangong family’s properties were all confiscated.”
“I’m just a little girl, looking for a husband. I didn’t expect him to have such a heavy burden…” As she spoke, Lin Xiaoyue looked at Li Xiao with a resentful expression.
“Pfft–” Prince Anyang smirked.
Liang Yu and Manager Liang tried to hold back their laughter.
Someone was complaining about the young general…
Seeing Li Xiao looking at him with a bitter face, Prince Anyang quickly decided to speak up for Li Xiao.
“Ahem, Li Xiao is a handsome and capable man…”
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he looked awkwardly at Li Xiao, who had a strange expression, especially with the hideous scar on his face.
He coughed again.
“Cough, he is brave and good at fighting. You two are a good match.”
“As for the Nangong Army, they are not a burden.”
He now seemed to understand why Li Xiao had suggested submitting the Nangong Army to the imperial court.
The Nangong Army was actually a burden to this woman.
At this moment, Prince Anyang did not mind Lin Xiaoyue’s disrespect at all.
He even liked her personality.
He knew what she wanted and could remove burdens without hesitation, even if they were priceless in the eyes of others.
This was not something that everyone could do.
“Your Highness, don’t comfort me. If Your Highness likes them, please take them.” Lin Xiaoyue said awkwardly.
The smile on Prince Anyang’s face instantly vanished.
“What are you talking about? Are they objects? You think you can just give them away?”
As he spoke, he looked at Li Xiao.
But anyone with discerning eyes could see that His Highness was not angry.
He was scolding Ms. Lin, but he was actually very happy.
He was only looking at Li Xiao to gauge his thoughts on the matter.
Li Xiao looked at Lin Xiaoyue with a helpless expression, but he wasn’t angry.
Seeing this, Prince Anyang was even more satisfied.
“The point is, 1 can’t afford to spend on their clothing, food and accommodation.” Lin Xiaoyue ignored Li Xiao.
Everyone looked at Li Xiao with sympathy in their eyes.
Prince Anyang was the first to retract his sympathetic gaze from Li Xiao. “Li Xiao has pledged allegiance to me. In the future, the army will have to serve me.”
“It is indeed not appropriate for Ms. Lin to bear the expenses alone.”
Lin Xiaoyue immediately turned around and looked at Prince Anyang. Her eyes seemed to be emitting light.
“Cough, I will pay for their clothes and bedding. In addition, I will also allocate 20,000 taels of silver for military expenses.” Prince Anyang said.
When Liang Yu heard this, his heart ached.
Why was he suddenly so easily convinced?
Lin Xiaoyue was delighted.
“I thank Your Highness on behalf of the Nangong Army. But we need a place to accommodate so many people.”
“I would like to ask Your Highness for 20 manors. Well… It would be best if they are located in Qingshi Town..”
