Yes, Liu Wuji was very satisfied with his disciple.

Be it talent, character, or tenacity, he had them all.

It was similar to his younger self, but more determined.

Compared to his newly accepted disciple Liang Chengcai, there was no doubt that he liked Li Xiao more.

Li Xiao cupped his fists at Liu Wuji.

“Master, we have been married for more than a year. After escaping the capital, I was saved by Yue’er.” As he spoke, Li Xiao looked at Lin Xiaoyue, his eyes filled with tenderness.

“After that, I stayed in Qingshi Town of Nan’an County.”

Liu Wuji nodded.

“The Ninth Prince is also here?” Then, he asked.

Since his disciple was his granddaughter’s husband, the Ninth Prince must be the ‘nephew’ he brought to the Liu Family.

Because of his disciple, he had some friendship with the Nangong Family.

When the Emperor attacked the Nangong Family, he wasn’t there. Otherwise, he wouldn’t sit by and do nothing.

By the time he found out, it had already happened, and he was already powerless to reverse the situation.

Because of this matter, he and the Emperor had an awkward relationship.

Actually, he could feel that the Emperor was already regretting it.

Especially this time, when Chu Jin had joined forces to attack the Great Yan, the Great Yan’s army without the Great General King and the Nangong Army was no match for Chu Jin’s allied forces.

If the Great General King and the Nangong Army were here, how could Chu Jin dare to attack them? Even if they really did, it would be very difficult to break through the border defense line.

Unfortunately, there was no medicine for regret in this world.

“Yes.” Li Xiao replied.

Liu Wuji’s expression relaxed a little.

“You were the one who instigated the defection of the Nangong Army?” He asked after a moment of silence.

Li Xiao and Lin Xiaoyue’s expressions changed.

Lin Xiaoyue turned to look at Li Xiao.

Li Xiao paused for a moment, then cupped his fists at Liu Wuji again.

“Yes. However, the Nangong Army did not defect.”

Liu Wuji’s eyes moved and he was silent for a moment.

Lin Xiaoyue’s tense heart instantly relaxed.

Seeing his granddaughter’s reaction, Liu Wuji smiled and gave her a look.

Lin Xiaoyue was a little surprised.

However, it was only for a moment before Liu Wuji shifted his gaze away and looked at Li Xiao again.

This made Lin Xiaoyue suspect that what he saw just now was an illusion.

“Where are the Nangong Army now?” Liu Wuji asked Li Xiao.

Li Xiao paused again.

“In Qingshi Town.” Then, he replied.

A look of surprise flashed across Liu Wuji’s face.

Then, it turned into understanding.

The businesses and workshops under his granddaughter… now everything made sense.

This time, he didn’t hide it anymore. Liu Wuji looked at his granddaughter with admiration.

“It’s all thanks to you.” He said.

There was still a faint smile on his face.

Lin Xiaoyue felt flattered.

The Imperial Advisor seemed to be unexpectedly good to her.

“It’s what I should do.” Lin Xiaoyue stuttered and replied.

Was it because he had a high status and was her husband’s master? Why was she a little nervous when she was facing him?

“Haha…” Liu Wuji was amused by his granddaughter’s expression.

Seeing this, the couple relaxed and smiled.

“So, it was you and your wife who defeated Liu Renyi’s army of tens of thousands that day?”

As soon as he said that, Li Xiao and Lin Xiaoyue’s expressions instantly stiffened.

Lin Xiaoyue’s face was even a little pale.

Seeing this scene, how could Liu Wuji not guess the answer?

Then, under Li Xiao’s wary gaze, he smiled again.

“Previously, when the Nangong Army withdrew from the border, the Emperor flew into a rage.” Liu Wuji said.

“As the commander of the border, Liu Renyi cannot escape punishment.”

“But the reason he reported it is unbelievable.”

“If only he said that, the Emperor would definitely not believe it.”

“But there are other people in the army, including some of the Emperor’s trusted aides. They actually said the same thing as Liu Renyi.”

“That’s why the Emperor came to ask me…” Liu Wuji looked at Li Xiao and Lin Xiaoyue again.

“After that, I received a hidden weapon fragment from the emperor.”

As he spoke, Liu Wuji pulled open the drawer of his desk.

He took out some grenades and bullets.

Lin Xiaoyue had already calmed down by now. She looked at the things on the table, and there was only curiosity in her eyes.

Li Xiao’s expression was calm, and he did not show any abnormality.

Seeing this, Liu Wuji smiled at the two of them.

“These things don’t seem to be anything special, but according to Liu Renyi and the others, their lethality is astonishing..”
