Chapter 493: Hunting (3)

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Lin Xiaoyue thought about it and felt that what Xiao Yang said made sense.

Ever since the retreat, nearly four hundred soldiers of the Nangong Army had returned to Qingshi Town.

For the sake of management, other than a small number of soldiers who stayed by Head Fang’s side, the rest of the Nangong Army was now in the Zhou Manor.

This was the first time the army had come back for the new year. Her original plan was to let everyone have a good feast.

However, there were four hundred people. There was a lot of meat that needed to be prepared.

Now that he thought about it, instead of spending money on meat, it would be better for them to work hard for half a day today and hunt more to send them to the Zhou manor.

“Alright then.” Thinking of this, Lin Xiaoyue agreed.

Thus, the three of them continued to travel through the mountains.

As she wanted to hunt more prey, Lin Xiaoyue could not bear to part with the bullets.

Therefore, the three almost all switched to bows and arrows. They only used guns when they had no other choice.

Lin Xiaoyue was responsible for long-range archery while Li Xiao and Xiao Yang were responsible for close combat.

The two men were both ruthless people. When they fought with wild beasts, they were even more ruthless than them.

Finally, after crossing two more mountains, Lin Xiaoyue noticed that it was getting late and suggested returning.

At this time, Li Xiao and Xiao Yang had almost exhausted their energy and agreed to return.

Thus, the three of them crossed the mountains and returned.

Before the sky turned dark, the group finally returned to the familiar stream at the back of the mountain of Daishi Village.

Lin Xiaoyue heaved a sigh of relief and asked everyone to clean the blood and mess on their bodies.

Then, she asked the two of them to change their clothes and cover up their injuries.

Xiao Yang and Li Xiao smiled as they looked at the woman who kept reminding them to tidy up their clothes.

Xiao Yang, in particular, felt that it was interesting.

His cousin-in-law wasn’t afraid of anything, but there was actually a time when she was so nervous and concerned.

It seemed that his aunt was the boss. Sister-in-law’s nemesis.

After ensuring that there were no traces on Xiao Yang and Li Xiao, Lin Xiaoyue was relieved.

She brought the two of them back.

When they reached the front mountain, he asked the two of them to bring some prey back to the Liu residence.

Lin Xiaoyue’s original intention was to only take out the deers and hares.

However, Xiao Yang insisted on taking out a wild boar.

Lin Xiaoyue thought about it. Considering the wild boar’s reputation, it was not as bad as the tiger.

Moreover, she had managed to hunt a wild boar before, so her mother wouldn’t be scared. That was why she agreed.

Thus, the three of them returned to the Liu residence in a hurry.

As soon as they returned home, they learned that Prince Anyang and Liang Yu had actually come.

The three of them looked at each other, threw the prey into the courtyard, and handed it to the butler.

Prince Anyang and Liang Yu, who were in the central room, heard the commotion in the courtyard and walked out curiously.

From afar, he saw the wild animals that the three of them had brought back. They looked at each other and smiled.

“Li Xiao, this trip’s harvest is quite plentiful!” Prince Anyang smiled and walked towards them with Liang Yu.

“Greetings, Your Highness!” Li Xiao hurriedly bowed.

Lin Xiaoyue and Xiao Yang stood behind Li Xiao and also bowed to Prince Anyang.

“Alright, there’s no need for such formalities between us.” Prince Anyang came over and held Li Xiao’s hand.

Li Xiao did not get up.

“There is a distinction between monarch and subject. Your Highness, you can call me by my name in the future.”

Now that he had joined Prince Anyang, and the Nangong Army would have to live in Anyang County in the future, it was better to abide by etiquette now.

This was important for the Liu family and the Nangong Army.

A ripple flashed across Prince Anyang’s eyes.

“Flaha, 1 forgot that you have no official title.”

“Then 1 will confer you the title of commander of the guards. How about that?” Prince Anyang said.

Li Xiao and Lin Xiaoyue were both stunned.

Lin Xiaoyue frowned and was about to speak when she heard Li Xiao say, “thank you, Your Highness. However, I have no intention of becoming an official. I only wish to stay in Daishi Village with my family.”

“I hope Your Highness will grant my wish.”

The smile on Prince Anyang’s face disappeared.

Then, a moment later, he suddenly laughed out loud.

“Hahahaha…since that’s the case, I respect your decision.”

“However, if you change your mind, you can come and see me at any time.” As he spoke, Prince Anyang took a jade pendant from his waist and gave it to Li Xiao.

“This is the jade pendant of the Imperial Residence, representing my identity. With this jade pendant, you can freely enter and leave the mansion.”

Li Xiao glanced at Prince Anyang. His eyes revealed a touched expression as he took the jade pendant.

“Thank you, Your Highness!”

Then, Prince Anyang said something to Xiao Yang before bringing the group of people to the central room.

“Time sure passes quickly. Tomorrow is New Year’s Eve.” Prince Anyang suddenly said..
