Seeing that Li Xiao’s expression was not good, King Anyang patted Li Xiao’s shoulder.
“Ms. Lin compiled the Arithmetic Book to benefit the country and the people. You don’t have to worry. She will come back sooner or later.” He comforted her. Li Xiao nodded and did not say anything else.
In the capital.
Under the persistent efforts of Lin Xiaoyue and the others, the first fourteen volumes of the Arithmetic Book were finally compiled.
The compilation team had officially entered the most difficult part, the compilation of the last six volumes.
The mathematics knowledge in junior high school was more difficult than that in primary school.
Now, Lin Xiaoyue had to spend more time teaching the “students”. At the same time, the time taken to compile the book had also increased.
Seeing that the one-month deadline was about to arrive, Lin Xiaoyue sent a letter to Li Xiao for a few days in a row, telling him not to be impatient and not to go to the capital to pick her up.
However, a few days later, she suddenly realized that Li Xiao stopped sending letters.
With a perturbed mood, Lin Xiaoyue still insisted on writing letters to Li Xiao every day.
It was not until about five days later that Li Xiao actually appeared at the Imperial Advisor’s residence.
The moment she saw her husband, Lin Xiaoyue’s heart finally relaxed.
Then, she rushed over and beat his chest.
“I told you not to come, but you ignored me!” Lin Xiaoyue was so angry that tears were flowing out.
The capital was a dragon’s pool and a tiger’s den. Did he know that?
The Imperial Advisor’s residence was still in the palace. What if he was discovered?
Li Xiao reached out and caught Lin Xiaoyue’s fist.
Then, he put it to his lips and kissed it twice.
“Why are you crying? Didn’t 1 come here safely?”
Then, with a sudden force, he picked Lin Xiaoyue up by the waist and walked into the room.
After placing his wife on the bed, Li Xiao took off Lin Xiaoyue’s shoes.
Then, he climbed onto the bed.
He looked down at his wife from above. When he saw that her tears had finally stopped, his expression relaxed a little.
“We’ve agreed before. I’m here to take you home.” Then, he lowered his head and planted a kiss on Lin Xiaoyue’s forehead.
“Did you not eat properly? It’s only been a month since we last met, but you’ve lost weight.” His big hand reached out to Lin Xiaoyue’s small face again, and his face was filled with heartache.
“Humph!” Lin Xiaoyue pouted and turned around, leaving her back to Li Xiao.
Li Xiao’s face lit up. He sighed and lay down beside his wife.
Then, he turned around and pulled Lin Xiaoyue into his arms from behind.
Then, he felt at ease.
“Don’t be angry. 1 came to the capital to pick you up so that I can spend more time with you.” Li Xiao said.
“After escorting you back to Daishi Village, 1 will have to leave.”
Lin Xiaoyue, who was still smiling just now, was instantly stunned. She turned over and faced Li Xiao.
The man suddenly saw the woman’s face and his breathing stopped for a moment.
“What do you mean?” Lin Xiaoyue asked anxiously.
Li Xiao quickly regained his senses.
He went forward and kissed Lin Xiaoyue’s forehead again.
“There’s some trouble in the Chu Country. Master sent me a message and asked me to make a trip to the Chu Country.” He said.
Not daring to look at Lin Xiaoyue’s face, Li Xiao flipped over and laid down flat.
“So, if I hadn’t come to the capital to find you, 1 would have been dead. By the time you return, I’m afraid I’ll have already set off.” As such, the couple had missed out.
Lin Xiaoyue’s expression tightened.
She quickly leaned over and placed her head on Li Xiao’s chest.
“Is this trip to Chu dangerous?”
As soon as she asked, Lin Xiaoyue felt that it was obvious.
Chu Jin was in an alliance, how could it not be dangerous?
Li Xiao lowered his head and glanced at his wife before patting Lin Xiaoyue’s back.
“I’ll go there secretly and hide my tracks. Nothing will happen.” If it wasn’t necessary, his master wouldn’t have asked him to go.
It was rare for his master to ask, so he had to cooperate no matter what.
Lin Xiaoyue also knew the seriousness of the matter, so she couldn’t say anything to let Li Xiao stay.
“When do you depart?” After a while, she asked.
“There are still ten days left.” Li Xiao said.
“1’11 stay in the Imperial Advisor’s residence to accompany you for the next few days and listen to some of Master’s teachings. I’ll send you back to Daishi Village after you finish compiling the Arithmetic Book. After that…”
“We will depart from Qingshi Town.”
Lin Xiaoyue thought about it
“I’ll go with you.” He said.
Li Xiao was stunned.
“You know that I have the ability to protect myself.” Lin Xiaoyue said.
“Last time at the border, I went too.”
Li Xiao suddenly used force to stop Lin Xiaoyue from speaking.
Seeing his wife looking up at him with a determined expression, Li Xiao sighed..
