“However, I have the ointment that my aunt gave me. In addition, wearing a helmet can also protect my face.”

Lin Xiaoyue thought of something.

Before the apocalypse of the 21st century, she had seen some soldiers guarding the border.

They were seventeen or eighteen years old, but their faces were covered in frost, and they looked like they had been through a lot.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiaoyue looked at Xiao Yang with a touch of heartache.

This shocked Xiao Yang.

Then, Xiao Yang scratched his head in embarra.s.sment.

“Hehe, it’s actually nothing. I grew up at the border, so I’m used to it.”

Lin Xiaoyue then withdrew her gaze from Xiao Yang’s face.

Just as she was about to comfort Xiao Yang, Li Xiao returned.

“I’m going to the toilet!” Xiao Yang quickly said in Li Xiao’s direction and then left in a hurry.

Head Fang looked at Lin Xiaoyue.

“Madam, please don’t take offense. He’s just not used to people caring about him so much.” He explained to Lin Xiaoyue.

Xiao Yang’s father was a deputy general under the Great General. His wife pa.s.sed away after giving birth to Xiao Yang.

After that, Deputy General Xiao brought Xiao Yang to the military camp.

However, after three years, Deputy General Xiao died in battle.

After that, Xiao Yang was raised by the Great General.

To Xiao Yang, the Great General and the Great General Princess Consort were not only his uncle and aunt, but also his adoptive parents.

After the Nangong Family was exterminated, he was sadder than anyone else.

After receiving the news that his master was still alive, he escaped from the border and went all the way to Qings.h.i.+ Town.

When he saw his master, he cried his eyes out.

Unfortunately, he didn’t dare to mention it.

Otherwise, Xiao Yang would be angry.

With Xiao Yang’s personality, it would be strange if he wasn’t moved by Lin Xiaoyue’s gaze.

Li Xiao walked over and pulled Lin Xiaoyue into his arms.

He patted her arm.

“It’s windy outside, let’s go back.” He said gently.

Lin Xiaoyue looked at the room and nodded.

Then, she gave Head Fang a farewell look and left with Li Xiao.

After entering the room, she immediately felt much warmer.

Walking to the bedside, Lin Xiaoyue naturally snuggled into Li Xiao’s arms.

After resting for a while, she looked at Li Xiao.

“When we return from the border, let Xiao Yang move into the Liu residence,” she said to Li Xiao.

Li Xiao had told her about Xiao Yang’s background before.

Actually, she had thought about it before, but she didn’t mention it to Li Xiao.

Li Xiao lowered his head and looked at Lin Xiaoyue, a touch of grat.i.tude flas.h.i.+ng across his eyes.

“Yes.” Then, he responded.

The corner of Lin Xiaoyue’s mouth curled up, and she once again pressed her face against Li Xiao’s chest.

“When the Nangong Army return to Qings.h.i.+ Town. We should also slowly arrange for them to retire.” Then, she asked tentatively.

Li Xiao was stunned and did not reply.

Lin Xiaoyue’s heart quickly sank.

Feeling that something was wrong, Li Xiao lowered his head and kissed Lin Xiaoyue’s forehead again.

“Alright.” He continued.

Lin Xiaoyue’s face immediately lit up.

“However, I’m afraid Prince Anyang won’t allow it.” This was what he was worried about.

Lin Xiaoyue raised her head and looked at Li Xiao with a light in her eyes. “It’s alright. Let’s arrange for the older and injured soldiers to leave first. His Highness won’t stop that.”

Lin Xiaoyue looked up at Li Xiao. “After that, we just stop recruiting new soldiers.”

“After a few years, if His Highness really wants to do something, he can take the remaining soldiers.”

“If the soldiers are old and disabled, we’ll arrange work and a place for them to live.”

“If they want to get married, we’ll also fork out money to help them.”

“However, that only includes those currently in the Nangong Army. After that, you can’t increase the number of people in the army.” Lin Xiaoyue looked straight at Li Xiao.

She was not in Li Xiao’s past and could not change it.

She could only shoulder the responsibilities with him.

However, in the future, he would no longer be surnamed Nangong. He would be Li Xiao, her husband.

Everything in the Nangong Family should end and be buried.

Only in this way could the couple enjoy peace for the rest of their lives.

Li Xiao stretched out his hand and tucked Lin Xiaoyue’s hair away.

“Alright, I promise you,” he replied in a deep voice.

Then, he pulled Lin Xiaoyue into his arms..
