After a while, with Zhao Fu’s help, he finally finished counting the last two piles of materials.

“Master, there are still matters to attend to in the mansion. I will take my leave first.” With the task completed, Zhao Fu quickly saluted Li Xiao.

After speaking, he glanced at Liang Yu and Manager Liang, who were waiting nearby.

Master Liang actually came to see the master, and his att.i.tude was quite respectful. This was unusual.

The master claimed to be a slave, but he didn’t seem like an ordinary person.

And now, Master Liang showed such respect for the master that even Ms. Lin didn’t have such a high status. The master’s ident.i.ty was extraordinary.

Having worked in prominent households for most of his life, Zhao Fu knew very well that there were things that he shouldn’t enquire about without his master’s consent.

“Alright.” Li Xiao was not bothered by Zhao Fu’s expression and responded indifferently.

Only then did Zhao Fu leave.

When Zhao Fu had gone far away, Liang Yu instructed Manager Liang to keep an eye on their surroundings and then walked towards Li Xiao.

“General Nangong.” As he approached Li Xiao, Liang Yu bowed to him and called out in a low voice.

When Li Xiao heard Liang Yu’s address, he only gave him a casual glance, and his expression remained unchanged.

Seeing this, Liang Yu’s face lit up with joy.

“Indeed, you are the General Nangong! The Crown Prince will be delighted to know that you and the Ninth Prince are still alive!” he exclaimed excitedly.

Li Xiaoxiao looked at Liang Yu.

“I have no connection with the Crown Prince.” When his father was alive, he did indeed speak highly of the Crown Prince.

But even so, they had never been close to the Crown Prince, or any prince for that matter, except for Qing’er.

Liang Yu smiled awkwardly.

“General Nangong and the Great General have fought on the battlefield, protecting the Great Yan, and the Crown Prince has always respected and admired you. When the Great General encountered trouble before, the Crown Prince was concerned about yours and the Ninth Prince’s safety and whereabouts.”

Li Xiao stared directly at Liang Yu.

Seeing this, Liang Yu averted his gaze.

“I stayed in Nan’an County on the Crown Prince’s orders, to search for the whereabouts of General Nangong and the Ninth Prince,” he continued under pressure.

The reputation of the G.o.d of War was indeed well-deserved.

Before, this person had restrained the oppressive aura around him, making him less intimidating.

But now, he unleashed his full presence, looking down on him from a high position, and it made him feel uneasy.

“Now you’ve found me, you can go back,” Li Xiao said calmly.

Liang Yu looked up at Li Xiao, instantly feeling less intimidated.

“General…” Li Xiao interrupted him before he could finish.

“The past is gone like smoke. Nangong Xiao and Murong Qing have died under the pursuit of a.s.sa.s.sins. There is no longer a general of the Great Yan,” Li Xiao said, looking at Liang Yu.

“Standing before you is just Li Xiao, an ordinary villager from Daishi Village.”

Seeing Li Xiao’s eyes filled only with indifference, Liang Yu was surprised and puzzled.

“Please tell the Crown Prince that 1 have no intention of partic.i.p.ating in the court’s disputes and only wish to live a peaceful life. Please tell him not to worry about us.”

“In addition, from now on, Qing’er will only be Xiao Qing, with no more connections to the royal family.”

Liang Yu was shocked once again. He couldn’t accept the fact that such an exceptional person would live an ordinary and unremarkable life.

“General..” He wanted to persuade Li Xiao.

But before he could say another word, Li Xiao’s gaze stopped him.

The immense pressure made Liang Yu’s expression change instantly, and he lowered his head.

However, Liang Yu was no ordinary person. He wouldn’t be deterred by Li Xiao’s gaze.

He immediately saluted Li Xiao again.

“We both know that the Great General was framed and wrongfully accused. The reputation of the late Great General has been tarnished, and besides you and the Ninth Prince, the entire Nangong family has become victims of injustice.” “Have you ever thought about avenging him?”

Noticing a flicker of emotion in Li Xiao’s eyes, Liang Yu continued quickly, “even if you are disillusioned with the court and reluctant to get involved in politics, others may not be willing to let you go.”

“There was no definitive proof that you really died. Considering his suspicious nature, do you think he would believe that you and the Ninth Prince are truly dead?”

Seeing another flicker of emotion in Li Xiao’s eyes, Liang Yu felt greatly encouraged and continued, “in fact, various forces in the capital never gave up searching for you and the Ninth Prince. They just haven’t been as blatant as before.”

“Otherwise, why do you think I came to Nan’an County?”

Li Xiao’s eyes turned cold, instantly locking onto Liang Yu’s.

The killing intent in his eyes sent a chill down Liang Yu’s spine..
