At this moment, he realized that the soldiers of the Nangong Army were all outside.
When the soldiers saw Li Xiao, they all knelt down on one knee, silently expressing their respect.
Their general had returned! He came back to evacuate them!
Li Xiao’s expression was serious. He raised the long sword in his hand and quickly headed towards the camp.
The soldiers quickly followed.
The group of five to six thousand people quietly left the camp.
It wasn’t until they passed by the camp of the Imperial Court army that they were discovered.
Li Xiao took the lead and cut the throats of the two soldiers who shouted.
Soon after, the Nangong Army swarmed forward and quickly killed the patrolling soldiers.
Li Xiao did not stop for long when he heard the sound coming from behind. “Full speed ahead to Hanshan Town!” He said in a deep voice.
Then, the Nangong Army no longer tried to stealth and rushed forward.
After walking for a while, they finally arrived at Eagle Cliff.
Eagle Cliff was located between the border station and Hanshan Town.
A moat was easy to defend but difficult to attack.
It was also the ideal ambush spot that Li Xiao had chosen to stop the Imperial Court’s army from pursuing them.
After arriving at Eagle Cliff, Xiao Yang and his 1,500 men stayed behind.
It was to buy time for the people who were retreating in front.
Soon, Xiao Yang, who stayed at Eagle Cliff, was engaged in a battle with the Imperial Court’s army.
Because Xiao Yang’s men were highly skilled and many of them were good at ranged weapons, the Imperial Court’s army quickly lost many soldiers.
At this time, Lin Xiaoyue and the others were anxiously waiting at the ferry crossing of Hanshan Town.
Even though she was wearing a cotton coat, Lin Xiaoyue still felt cold.
She checked the time in her interspatial ring from time to time. As time passed, she gradually became anxious.
Finally, she heard the ground shake.
Then, she saw Cheng An running over from the intersection ahead.
“Mistress, it’s…it’s Master!” Cheng An panted as he ran back to Lin Xiaoyue.
Lin Xiaoyue smiled.
She looked in the direction of the intersection and soon saw the tall man holding a sword.
Other than Li Xiao, who else could it be?
Li Xiao was urging the soldiers to speed up.
After turning around, he saw Lin Xiaoyue.
Then, he ran towards Lin Xiaoyue.
She was only wearing a cotton coat on such a cold day. She really didn’t know how to take care of herself!
Li Xiao embraced Lin Xiaoyue, who was dressed like a manservant.
When the soldiers saw this, many of them were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped.
What was going on? Their general was hugging a man?
The three captains were puzzled. They knew that their general had married a woman..
Moreover, the mistress was very nice. She prepared medicine and cotton clothes for them and even arranged for them to evacuate.
Seeing this situation, the three captains frowned slightly, and they looked at Lin Xiaoyue in a bad light.
However, the matter was urgent. They could only follow the general’s instructions and arrange for the soldiers to board the ship first.
After a while, Li Xiao released Lin Xiaoyue.
“Follow me.” As he spoke, he pulled Lin Xiaoyue towards the three captains who were instructing the soldiers to take off their armor and board the ship.
“General!” One of the captains quickly noticed Li Xiao’s arrival and turned to greet him.
The other two quickly turned around as well.
“Greetings, General!” He bowed to Li Xiao.
“No need for formalities.”
The three captains stood up.
He accidentally saw Lin Xiaoyue standing beside Li Xiao, who was being held in Li Xiao’s hand.
They were shocked.
No wonder he could charm their general. This pretty boy was indeed handsome.
However, even though they were amazed, the three of them did not have a good impression of Lin Xiaoyue.
The Mistress was so good to them, so of course they had to side with her.
No, they had to find a chance to persuade the general.
The mistress was such a good woman. The general didn’t cherish her and instead cheated on her with a gigolo?
No matter how good-looking he was, he was still a gigolo.
“Cough, this is my wife.” Li Xiao coughed lightly, his tone of voice actually carried a hint of pride.
The three captains were shocked.
What? Wife?
So, they misunderstood?
The general’s wife was actually this pretty boy?
“Greetings, Mistress!” Although they were still struggling to accept it, they bowed to Lin Xiaoyue.
“Greetings, Mistress!” The other two captains also bowed.
Lin Xiaoyue smiled.
“There’s no need for the three of you to be so polite,” she said.
The crisp and pleasant voice caused the hearts of the three people to tremble.
A woman?
Then, the three of them heaved a sigh of relief.
“Thank you, Mistress!” The three of them responded and quickly got up.
Then, they stole a glance at Lin Xiaoyue again..
