Chapter 321 Showing Loyalty

Jun Moye spoke frankly.

"Yes, but I'm not the current prince of the Tianyuan Emperor. I was the former prince of the Qin Palace. After my father lost the bid for the throne, the entire Qin Palace was exiled to the northwest. If you're afraid of trouble, I can still allow you to leave if you can promise not to do evil in the future."

After hearing this, Jiang Lou stood up and bowed solemnly.

"I, Jiang Lou, will follow the orders of Master Jun and Madam Jun from now on. I represent the sincere submission of all the brothers in Qingfeng Village. If there are any suitable tasks in the future, please feel free to give them your orders."

Jun Moye looked at him, thought for a moment, and then spoke slowly.

"There is indeed something you need to do right now."

Is this the job? Jiang Lou hurriedly bowed.

"Please give your orders, sir."

Jun Moye and Su Hanchu looked at each other before continuing.

"It's been more than ten days since I nominally became the head of your Qingfeng Village. It's time to announce the news that the head of Qingfeng Village has changed. There should be many bandit villages outside Baise City besides your Qingfeng Village. As the new head of Qingfeng Village, I should find some opportunities to visit other heads of villages. I'll get to know them better so that I can take care of them when I encounter problems in the future, right?"

Jiang Lou looked up in surprise at the faint smile on Jun Moye's lips, and began to mutter in his heart, afraid that the young master and the lady would start to play the pig to eat the tiger again. It's okay, but he has fallen into their hands, and Qingfeng Village has been lost. If other villages have the same fate, then he will have company. We are all bandits, and we should share the happiness and the difficulties together.

"Yes, I will go and publicize it immediately. Young Master, you are the new generation leader of Qingfeng Village. I will retire as the second in command. We will visit each village with gifts soon."

Su Hanchu looked at Jiang Lou's reaction. Hmm, this guy suddenly became smart.

"Brother Jiang is indeed a smart man."

Jiang Lou only felt a sudden chill in the room, and then he realized that Jun Moye's eyes looking at him had become a little colder. These days, whenever he saw these two people, they always looked like they were inseparable. This Young Master Jun was indeed a jealous person, so he spoke quickly.

"Madam, you are embarrassing me. I am not worthy of you calling me brother. Madam, please call me Jiang Lou from now on. If you and the young master have any requests, I will go through fire and water for you.

Jun Moye glanced at him indifferently.

"Okay, go down and do what you need to do."

Imperial city.

Xia Lan, who was waiting at the gate of the mansion, spoke hurriedly with a happy face when she saw Li Xiao coming back.

"General, you are finally back. Madam has been waiting for you for a long time and has something important to tell you."

Seeing Xia Lan's expression, Li Xiao was filled with joy and there was no sign of anxiety between his brows. It seemed that this was a happy event, so he hurried towards the main courtyard.

Lin Hanzhi, who was taking pregnancy-maintaining medicine, hurriedly stood up when she saw Li Xiao come in.

"Husband, you are back."

Li Xiao looked at the half-drunk medicine in her bowl and spoke with some concern on his face.

"Madam, why did you take the medicine? Are you feeling unwell somewhere? Why didn't you tell me?"

Lin Hanzhi spoke with a smile while holding the medicine.

"This isn't for curing illness, it's for keeping the baby healthy."

Li Xiao was stunned when he heard this.

"Safeguard the pregnancy? Safe...Safeguard the pregnancy!"

Then his eyes lit up and he hurriedly supported Lin Hanzhi.

"Ma'am, you mean we have a child? I'm a father, right?"

Lin Hanzhi hurriedly put the bowl on the table beside her.

"What are you so excited about?"

Then he lowered his head with a shy look on his face.

"Qingdai said it's been over a month."

After getting a positive answer, Li Xiao excitedly picked up Lin Hanzhi and spun her around twice, shouting as he spun.

"I'm a father now, and the Li family has a successor."

Lin Hanzhi didn't expect him to be so excited, and hurriedly patted his shoulder and spoke.

"Put me down quickly, be careful of the baby in your belly."

After hearing this, Li Xiao carried her to the bed and carefully placed her on it.

"Yeah, yeah, be careful kid, I was too excited."

Then he bent down and gently touched her belly.

"Thank you, Madam. I have a child and a family now."

Seeing Li Xiao's reaction, Qingdai and Xia Lan covered their mouths and laughed secretly.

Qingdai spoke up to remind her.

"General, Madam still has half a bowl of pregnancy-maintaining medicine left. Now that you're done being affectionate, remember to drink it."

Then he pulled Xia Lan out and considerately closed the door for them.

Li Xiao went to bring the pregnancy-maintaining medicine and took the candied dates from the table.

"Madam, drink the abortion-preserving medicine first, then we can eat a candied date so it won't be bitter."

Seeing how cautious he was, Lin Hanzhi smiled, drank the medicine, and ate the candied dates.

"Don't be so nervous. I'm just pregnant now, not a porcelain doll."

Li Xiao put the bowl and fruit plate away, then sat next to Lin Hanzhi and put his arm around her.

"Zhizhi, I never dared to imagine a day like this."

After hearing this, Lin Hanzhi spoke in a coquettish tone.

"So what you mean is that you have never thought about your future life with me before."

Li Xiao looked at her playful look and reached out to pinch her nose.

"You, you're really pregnant and you've become childish. You know that's not what I meant."

Then he lowered his head to touch Lin Hanzhi's hair, put his arms around her waist, and let her hold her in his arms.

"Think about three years ago, I was still worried about the prospect of treating my mother. In fact, after the engagement was broken off, I secretly visited you, feeling extremely unwilling. However, the Li family was in decline, with only my mother and I left. I couldn't support the family at that time. I never thought that in just a few years, I would become the highest-ranking general in the northwest, marry the girl I love, and now have my own child. It all feels like a dream."

Lin Hanzhi leaned in his arms with a smile on her face.

"We are all lucky. When things were most difficult, we met my sister and brother-in-law, who changed our lives."

Li Xiao spoke in agreement.

"Yes, even when we came to the Imperial City, my sister and brother-in-law took care of everything."

Then he suddenly remembered something.

"I will go to the palace again tomorrow. You are pregnant and I can't leave you here alone."

After hearing this, Lin Hanzhi spoke quickly.

"Don't do anything stupid. We agreed that you would guard the northwest, while I would stay in the imperial city and wait for my sister and brother-in-law to return."

Li Xiao also knew that this was unrealistic. If he wanted to take control of the military power in the northwest, his family would have to stay in the imperial city.

"Then I will go and ask the emperor to let me stay for a few more days."

Lin Hanchu tilted his head and looked at him.

"So the Emperor summoned you today because he has already decided on the time for you to go to the northwest, right?"

Li Xiao nodded slightly, looking reluctant.

"The Emperor said that because we are newlyweds, he will let me stay for another half month before leaving."

Lin Hanchu listened and spoke thoughtfully.

"Half a month is enough, Li Xiao. We are not children anymore. Go and do your own thing. Don't worry about me. The maids my sister gave me are all capable. However, I don't need to let others know about my pregnancy for the time being, but there is one person who can be told."

Li Xiao spoke in surprise.

"Who? Aside from the Ning An Marquis and his wife, we don't have a good relationship with anyone else in the Imperial City."

Lin Hanzhi looked up at him.

"Of course it's the person with the most power in the Imperial City."
