Li Xiao was silent.
“Thank you, Emperor!” He finally agreed.
Murong Xuyang was delighted.
He stepped forward and patted Li Xiao’s shoulder.
“Come!” Then, he pulled Li Xiao and walked towards the side hall.
Next, the monarch and his subjects drank and chatted happily.
During the meal, Li Xiao suggested bringing Lin Xiaoyue along, and Murong Xuyang agreed.
He even teased the couple.
At night, Li Xiao returned to the Imperial Advisor’s residence reeking of alcohol.
Lin Xiaoyue had a look of disgust on her face, and she almost didn’t sleep with her husband.
Li Xiao laughed happily and pulled his wife to the couch to talk.
He told him what Murong Xuyang had arranged for him to do and the promise he had made to him.
He even showed the commander-in-chief’s seal to his wife.
Lin Xiaoyue held the commander’s seal and felt that it was quite heavy.
“Congratulations, you’re going to become a prince!” After looking at it twice, he returned the commander seal to Li Xiao.
However, Li Xiao threw away the commander’s seal and held Lin Xiaoyue’s shoulder with one hand.
“I only wish to spend the rest of my life with my wife. I don’t ask for anything else.”
Hearing this, Lin Xiaoyue’s heart warmed. She was not angry anymore. The people in front of him were definitely much cuter.
“Alright, 1 know.”
“Go wash up and sleep. 1’11 go find grandpa and tell him about it.” As she spoke, Lin Xiaoyue stood up.
She had to leave early tomorrow morning and inform her grandfather.
In addition, perhaps her grandfather had also given them some instructions.
“Go, come back early.” Li Xiao’s face was full of resentment.
Lin Xiaoyue couldn’t help but laugh. She went out and called Fan Teng over before going to the bamboo garden.
In the bamboo garden, Liu Wuji was still awake.
Seeing his granddaughter come over, the old master perked up.
After listening to his granddaughter’s explanation, the old man already had an idea.
“Don’t worry and go.”
“Previously, Xiao’er had already discussed it with Chu. There’s a high chance that there won’t be any problems.”
“If Xu Yan is really bold enough to mobilize the Jin army, the Jin army will definitely not be able to return under the pincer attack of the Yan Chu army.”
“Moreover, even if Chu changes its mind at the last minute, Xiao’er will personally hold down the fort and the Nangong Army will be stationed. It won’t be that easy for Chu and Jin to attack the hinterland of the Great Yan.”
“Right now, the situation in each country is not good. If they can’t take down Chu and Jin, they will retreat.”
Lin Xiaoyue nodded.
After listening to her grandfather’s analysis, she was filled with admiration.
He really thought of everything.
In short, the Great Yan could not lose this war.
The best outcome would be for Chu to cooperate and defeat Jin. Then, the three countries would enter a long period of peace.
The worst result would be to be defeated by Chu Jin’s alliance and continue defending. It would buy time for the rear to recuperate.
Liu Wuji glanced at his granddaughter.
“The border is bitter and cold. When you go there, you have to take good care of yourself.” He asked with concern.
Actually, he didn’t want his granddaughter to suffer with him.
However, he knew that it was useless to persuade her, so he decided not to.
Lin Xiaoyue smiled.
“Don’t worry, grandpa.”
After thinking for a while, Lin Xiaoyue looked at Liu Wuji again.
“Oh right. Now that the Emperor has ascended the throne, when do you plan to return to Daishi Village?”
She and Li Xiao couldn’t rush back to celebrate the New Year. If her grandfather came, he could still arrive before the third day of the new year
With grandpa going back to accompany her mother and Xiaozhi, she would be less worried.
In addition, she had to send a letter back about her and Li Xiao’s expedition.
Liu Wuji smiled.
“I’ll be preparing to bid farewell to the Emperor tomorrow. Go back and see your mother and Xiaozhi. When the war at the border is over, come back and deal with the follow-up matters.”
If everything went smoothly, he could also take the opportunity to retire.
Lin Xiaoyue nodded. “That’s good.”
“With you back, my husband and 1 can leave in peace.”
“Oh right, if mother asks about us…”
Liu Wuji looked at his granddaughter.
“There’s nothing to hide.”
“Your mother may be timid, but she’s quite thoughtful. I’ll explain the situation to her clearly. That way, she’ll feel more at ease.”
Lin Xiaoyue nodded.
She recalled what Liu Shi had said to her before and felt that her grandfather understood her mother better than she did.
“After we go to the border…” Then, Liu Wuji began to instruct Lin Xiaoyue about some things.
Lin Xiaoyue listened carefully and nodded from time to time.
After chatting for more than an hour, Liu Wuji finally finished speaking.
“Alright, it’s getting late. We have to leave tomorrow morning. Go back and rest quickly.” Liu Wuji finally said to Lin Xiaoyue after he finished instructing her.
Lin Xiaoyue stood up.
“Grandpa, you should rest early too.” She bowed and left.
Liu Wuji personally sent Lin Xiaoyue out and handed her over to the servant girl waiting outside.
He instructed the servant girl to send her back before returning to the house.
The next day.
The couple woke up before dawn.
They didn’t bid farewell to Liu Wuji. They took Fan Teng and rode two horses to the border..
