"Thank you for the reminder, Lord Wang."
This reminder was extremely important to Xiao Yu. He was about to go to the official workshop outside the city, and Prince Rong would definitely take the opportunity to cause trouble.
It could be an attack on Xiao Yu, an attack on the Xiao Prince's Mansion, or an attack on both simultaneously.
In short, we need to be extra careful!
"Your Highness, please be careful. My wife and I will take our leave now."
Seeing that Xiao Yu understood, Wang Mingce did not linger any longer and left with his wife.
Xiao Yu escorted them to the door, watching them leave before pondering how to deal with this trouble...
“Brother Xiao Yu”.
Yang Niannian appeared behind Xiao Yu and said, "Since last night, Sister Youyu has been waiting for you. When you're done with your work, go and keep her company."
Although she was Shen Youyu's personal maid, Yang Niannian still habitually called Xiao Yu "brother" and Youyu "sister" when outsiders were around.
And indeed, both Xiao Yu and Shen Youyu treated Yang Niannian like a younger sister.
"Um."
Xiao Yu nodded and then went back to his room.
Although she wasn't worried about Xiao Yu not returning home all night, Shen Youyu was still hoping for his return.
"My wife, I'm back."
Pushing open the door, Xiao Yu said with a smile.
"Juro."
Shen Youyu walked over quickly, a gentle expression on her pretty face.
A moment later, Shen Youyu couldn't help but ask, "I just heard Niannian say that Xiao Zhan is selecting soldiers for his manor and is preparing to stay in the workshops outside the city... Shilang, are you going to stay there permanently too?"
"I was originally planning to stay for a short time, coming back every three days..."
Xiao Yu's expression was somewhat serious as he said, "But now I've decided to come back every day."
In this world, what is most important to Xiao Yu is not the throne, but his mother and wife. For the safety of his mother and wife, he must return every day.
"What happened?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Youyu knew that something very serious had happened.
"Um."
Xiao Yu knew his wife was incredibly intelligent and didn't intend to hide anything from her, but he didn't plan to tell her who the enemy was.
After all, Prince Rong is a member of the imperial family and the current Empress's younger brother. If Shen Youyu knew that such a powerful figure was going to oppose her, she would only feel worried and anxious.
Seeing that Xiao Yu only nodded and did not say anything, Shen Youyu did not ask any further questions.
Seeing how understanding his wife was, Xiao Yu smiled and said, "My wife doesn't need to worry too much. I will find Aoxue and Mulan and ask them to come to the palace often during the day... The daughter of a Grandmaster and the number one female general of the Great Xia. With them around, and the palace guards are not to be underestimated either."
"By the way, I'll have Murong Chong keep a close eye on the situation around the Prince's residence. The Imperial Guards are not to be trifled with, so I doubt they'll dare to do anything to the Prince Xiao's residence."
"With a Grandmaster like me in charge at night, there's even less to worry about."
After some comforting words, Shen Youyu was less worried, but guilt and heartache appeared on her charming face: "It's a pity that I can't help Shilang and he has to travel back and forth every day."
If only she could help Shilang like Jin Mulan and Liu Aoxue.
Even Murong Xian's brother can help Shi Lang... but there's nothing I can do.
"Who says my wife can't help me?"
Holding his wife's fair and delicate hand, which was as smooth as mutton fat jade, Xiao Yu said with a smile, "Back then, when Chu Tianjiao came to the palace to break off the engagement, if it weren't for my wife's words, 'If you won't marry me, I will,' I, Xiao Yu, would still be someone no one would look down on!"
"That Mulan..."
Shen Youyu spoke up.
But before she could speak, Xiao Yu interrupted her directly: "Mulan, Aoxue, and Murong Xian all suddenly realized that this was how it could be done after hearing you say that! If it weren't for you, I would still be a single dog now."
Although Shen Youyu knew in her heart that there was another possibility: even if she didn't speak up, Jin Mulan, Liu Aoxue, and Murong Xian would still say that they would marry Xiao Yu.
But who knows what the unknown assumptions are?
Xiao Yu said this to make Shen Youyu happy.
Women like to hear lies because they know it's a lie, and they also know it's a man trying to make them happy.
This kind of deception is different from blatant cheating.
Therefore, Shen Youyu didn't dwell on whether what Xiao Yu said was right or wrong, or whether it would actually happen; she was simply moved.
"Shilang, meeting you is my greatest fortune."
Shen Youyu nestled in Xiao Yu's arms, her charming and affectionate face full of tenderness.
After a pause, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Jiro, why do you say you're a single dog? That's a really strange term."
"Because some single people are as pitiful as dogs."
Xiao Yu explained casually.
"I don't quite understand."
Shen Youyu had never heard the phrase "Look, that person looks like a dog," so she didn't understand the term "single dog."
After chatting with his wife for a while, Yang Niannian knocked on the door and came in.
"Brother Xiao Yu, Captain Xiao Zhan is looking for you... saying he has gathered thirty soldiers and wants you to take a look."
After saying that, Yang Niannian added, "My brother is in there too. At first, Captain Xiao Zhan didn't plan to let my brother go, but my brother said that someone might bully you, and he insisted on going! Captain Xiao Zhan tested my brother's strength and then agreed."
"Then let's take Big Fool with us."
Xiao Yu said.
Da Sha has great talent, but practicing martial arts in the yard every day is too monotonous, even though Da Sha is very persevering and can immerse himself in his own world.
However, Xiao Yu didn't want a fool who only knew how to practice martial arts. He wanted to broaden the fool's horizons and help him gradually understand some things... He was just mentally impaired, not a real fool.
Once he gained some experience, Da Sha wasn't so foolish anymore.
We arrived in the courtyard.
"Your Highness, please take a look."
Xiao Zhan stood at the front of the line and spoke loudly.
"Um."
Xiao Yu still had great faith in Xiao Zhan's abilities. He glanced at the faces of the soldiers and said, "I'll give you two hours of free time. After that, you'll all come with me to the workshop. You'll suffer a lot... You can do whatever you want during these two hours. Go to Baoyue Tower, the Jiaofangsi, or any brothel!"
Upon hearing this, the soldiers burst into loud laughter.
"Disband."
Xiao Yu shouted, "Everyone, return to your positions in two hours."
"yes!"
The guards responded loudly.
Then, the party was dissolved.
Everyone went to do what they wanted to do.
Only Da Sha looked at Yang Niannian in the distance, then walked to Xiao Yu's side and said, "Er Sha, does this mean I won't be able to see my sister for fifteen days?"
"Um."
Xiao Yu nodded and asked, "Are you willing to do that?"
"I can't bear to part with it."
Da Sha shook his head, and anyone could see the reluctance on his face. But Da Sha still gritted his teeth and said, "But I know Er Sha has something very important to do. I want to help Er Sha. I'll try to endure it for fifteen days!"
