Lin Xiaoyue glanced at Xiao Yang and chuckled.
Xiao Yang’s face turned red.
These two…
Then, the carriage fell silent. Lin Xiaoyue and Xiao Yang didn’t speak anymore.
Time passed by.
After 25 minutes, Lin Xiaoyue couldn’t sit still anymore.
Xiao Yang’s expression slowly turned from boredom to seriousness.
Why hasn’t Li Xiao come back?
“Why don’t I go and take a look?” Seeing that Lin Xiaoyue was about to speak, Xiao Yang spoke first.
Lin Xiaoyue frowned.
Her current attire was indeed a little too eye-catching.
“Let’s wait a little longer.” A hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes as she said to Xiao Yang.
“If he doesn’t return in fifteen minutes, go find him.”
“Yes.” Xiao Yang nodded seriously.
After about ten minutes, the two of them finally heard the sound of someone boarding the carriage.
Soon, the curtain of the carriage was pulled open. It was Li Xiao.
They heaved a sigh of relief.
“How’s the situation?” Lin Xiaoyue hurriedly asked.
Xiao Yang also looked at Li Xiao expectantly.
“I’ve inquired about all the merchant ships docked at the port, but none of them are heading to Hanshan Town. The closest one is Liushui Town.” Li Xiao replied.
“Therefore, if we take the water route, I’m afraid we can only go to Liushui Town first and think of a way later.”
Lin Xiaoyue thought about it.
Liushui Town was only two hours away from Hanshan Town.
“The road is blocked by the heavy snow. It’s too slow to travel by land. So be it.”
At this moment, Lin Xiaoyue thought of a problem.
Hanshan Town only had a small dock.
If a large number of ships stopped by, it would be difficult not to attract attention.
Frowning, Lin Xiaoyue didn’t think too much about it and got off the carriage with Li Xiao.
After that, Li Xiao led the two of them onto a merchant ship.
The steward of the merchant ship saw the three of them and took the money, but he did not ask much.
The rest of the journey was not as peaceful as the previous ride.
Without individual rooms, the three of them had to stay in the cabin with the workers.
Fortunately, other than the merchant ship steward who came in twice, no one else dared to approach them.
The three of them tried their best to minimize their presence along the way.
They didn’t ask for food and only ate the dry rations that Manager Liang had prepared for them.
In the cold, the three of them finally arrived at the dock of Liushui Town.
When they got off the ship, it was already snowing.
At this moment, the dock of Liushui Town was covered in snow. At a glance, other than the workers of the ship they were on, there was no one else.
“Let’s go.” Li Xiao said as he led the way.
“Yes.” Lin Xiaoyue replied and followed the tracks left by Li Xiao in the snow.
Li Xiao was very familiar with Liushui Town. After leaving the dock with Lin Xiaoyue and Xiao Yang, he quickly brought the two of them to an inn.
After that, they checked into two rooms.
After letting Xiao Yang go to his room, Lin Xiaoyue was immediately pulled into Li Xiao’s arms.
The warmth of his body instantly dispelled the chill on her body. Lin Xiaoyue subconsciously leaned closer to Li Xiao.
“You’ve worked hard.” The man’s deep voice sounded from above.
“Not at all.”
She looked at Li Xiao.
“The brothers of the Nangong Army are the ones who are truly suffering.”
“The weather is so cold, and the soldiers lack food and clothing. I’m afraid many people will freeze to death.” She said with a worried expression.
Li Xiao looked sad.
It was certain that they would freeze. Even in previous years, there were many soldiers in the army who were frozen to death. This year would probably be even worse.
Lin Xiaoyue snuggled into Li Xiao’s arms.
“Don’t think too much. They’ll go back tomorrow.”
“Yes.”
After dinner and washing up, the couple went to bed early.
As they got closer to their destination, it became harder and harder to fall asleep.
At night, Li Xiao could only try his best to stay still to prevent himself from disturbing his wife’s sleep…
In the latter half of the night, as the sound of the rustling snow outside the window gradually disappeared, Li Xiao finally fell asleep.
The next day, the weather in Liushui Town finally cleared up.
The three of them had breakfast at the inn before getting a carriage to go to Hanshan Town.
The snow on the road was very thick, making it difficult to travel. It was almost noon when they arrived..
Li Xiao brought the two of them to Fulai Inn and booked two rooms.
At this moment, Lin Xiaoyue found out that Fulai Inn was also a property of the Nangong Family.
In the room.
“Greetings Master. It is my honor to meet you again!” The shopkeeper knelt down on one knee and said excitedly to Li Xiao.
“Greetings Mistress!” Cheng An cupped his hands at Lin Xiaoyue..
