For example, the female lead or something.

In the book, the female lead helped him a lot, and he admired her quite a bit. After Xie Ying died, his relationship with the female lead deepened, and she confessed her feelings to him. Although we didn't see the later plot, wasn't the answer obvious?

Since he dreamed of the Fifth Master and Xie Ying, and even the Second Dog and the Third Master, he should logically dream of the female lead as well.

Xie Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly as if he had thought of something. "I have so many brothers and sisters, and I've dreamed about so many people. How could I remember them all?"

Li Ruo was skeptical and asked with a smile, "What about me? Did you dream about me?"

What do you think?

How would I know?

Xie Xiao smiled. "I dreamt about it."

As he spoke, he walked to the door, closed it halfway, made sure the brothers outside couldn't see him, and then came back, pulled Li Ruo over, and hugged her tightly.

"What's wrong?" He suddenly moved closer to Li Ruo, his face burning. "What did you dream about?"

His eyes were deep and dark as he stared at her intently. His smile was roguish yet serious. "I dreamt that you were stolen away, so I have to hurry up and marry you to avoid any unforeseen complications."

Li Ruoxin's heart was beating a little fast.

He held her a little tighter, as if he were melting her into his body. Suddenly, he lowered his head and quickly kissed her lips, then, as if dissatisfied, he gently bit her again.

"Hiss." Li Ru glared at him. "Are you a dog?"

Xie Xiao chuckled, his tone ambiguous and irritating, "I've stamped this to show you're mine, understand?"

Li Ruo felt a surge of emotion, as if a warm current was slowly flowing through her.

"I'll go see Grandma the day after tomorrow and give you the betrothal gifts," he said.

With so much stuff, it takes at least a day to prepare.

Seeing his confident look, Li Ruo's earlier unease due to the female lead's appearance gradually dissipated, and she laughed, "Alright, come on if you dare."

"Heh." Xie Xiao raised an eyebrow. "Believe it or not, I'll come tonight."

It was simply to teach his brother-in-law, Li Yi, the secrets to training wolf cubs.

For a full hour, the courtyard was filled with Li Yi's voices of sudden realization, such as "Ah," "Oh," and "So that's how it is," as well as the whimpering sounds of two dogs and six wolf cubs being tamed.

Li Yi also promised him that he would be allowed to pass through next time he came.

I have to say, he really knows how to do it. Li Ruo suddenly thought that if she had a child, she could probably leave him to take care of it.

Imagine the scene: she's conquering all outside, while he's at home carrying one on his back, another on his shoulder, and yet another in his arms... Hahaha, it's too beautiful.

Pshaw, she's thinking too far ahead.

It's as if childbirth doesn't hurt.

The next day, Li Ruo bought pig iron at the mall, released it in the forest near the waterfall where they had done before, and then asked Xiao Yu to find Sun Ergou to move it.

We must make the sword and arrows as soon as possible to deal with the great threat that is the Prince of Jiangning.

At the same time, she instructed Lao Wang to speed up the training of his troops, with Xiao Yu assisting and Dayu protecting the family. She also appointed Chen He as her personal bodyguard, as she would be going out more and more frequently.

At this time, at Huaqing Temple on Qinghua Mountain.

Huaqing Temple is also a famous Taoist temple in Yuzhou. It is even larger than Qingfeng Temple, with Lingguan Hall, Main God Hall, Sanqing Hall and everything else.

Behind the main hall are more than a dozen side rooms, which were originally intended for the philanthropist to rest, but have now become the residences of the Prince of Jiangning, his advisors, confidants, and their families.

Unlike the Prince of Runan, who was granted a title due to his ancestors' merits, Prince Chu Yunji of Jiangning is the current emperor's half-brother, the youngest son of the late emperor, and ranked ninth. He is a true prince.

Although he is already twenty-seven years old, he is still unmarried.

His most trusted confidant, Yang Huan, came over and said, "Your Highness, our scouts have reported that Xie Xiao was not fooled, and our group heading to the capital was not stopped in any way."

Chu Yunji was not too disappointed. "That's fine. Let them continue to meet Lord Yun's ship. To be on the safe side, when they return, they should still set traps. Once the grain arrives, transport it to Beishan, the place he mentioned."

Yang Huan naturally knew who this "he" was. "Yes, Your Highness."

Not to mention Xie Xiao, even the Prince of Runan probably didn't expect that they had three granaries, one of which was located in the North Mountain.

The most dangerous places are often the safest, but we must not let our guard down even when we are safe.

Anything can happen unexpectedly.

Chu Yunji said, "Once our food arrives, it will be time to meet those people from General Mountain."

What he didn't expect was that, instead of going to them, they would bump into him...

Ziyang Peak.

With an additional 300 people, Li Ruozheng urged everyone to hurry up and build bricks to construct greenhouses and kang beds in preparation for the coming winter.

She still has plenty of firewood in her space; firing another ten or so kilns of bricks wouldn't be a problem.

As for the charcoal, it will be used to heat the kang (a traditional heated bed), and the biogas should be available in about half a month, so we can safely get through this winter.

But some people don't deserve to survive this winter.

Xu family.

That wicked woman tried to kill her twice; she deserved to die long ago.

It was only because Old Lady Li had misremembered the date that Li Ruo thought there were still more than twenty days before the flood, giving her time to deal with them. Later, when the flood came, she encountered Lianlizhi who was about to give birth, which allowed the woman to live for more than a month longer.

Now that Song Zhijing is dead, what reason does Xu have to live?

Moreover, this woman is quite wicked. The prefect's house was burgled one after another, and then he learned that she had come to General Mountain. I wonder if he would make some connection and reveal her information to the Prince of Jiangning.

Because the Prince of Jiangning also went north.

If the Prince of Jiangning learns too much from Xu, it will not be in his best interest; he must get rid of Xu.

The next morning, the sky was overcast and a cold wind was blowing.

Li Ruo went up to the tower and looked through the binoculars. The water was quiet, except for the occasional floating corpse. There was no living person. In this kind of weather, no one would go out.
