Xiao Jingqing returned to the room and saw Zhou Xiya sitting on the bed in a daze.

Xiao Jingqing walked over and touched Zhou Xiya's long hair, sighed lightly, and his tone was a little heavy: "Go meet Li Mu." ”

He thought very clearly, Li Mu came back from the dead, he couldn't stop Xiya from letting her see Li Mu, Li Mu and Xiya are both polite people, naturally know what to do and what not to do, he has to believe Xiya, although he doubts her and is proud of her, it will only push Xiya farther and farther.

Zhou Xiya raised her head suddenly, and looked at Xiao Jingqing in disbelief, did she hear it wrong?

"Hehe, silly girl, why are you looking at me like this, you are already my wife now, what else do I have to worry about, I understand you, so I trust you, you and Li Mu have no fate, but it's still okay to be friends, I won't stop you, Xiya, as long as you're happy, I won't stop you." Xiao Jingqing laughed, held Zhou Xiya, and said what was in his heart.

"Xiao Jingqing, you big villain" Zhou Xiya put her arms around Xiao Jingqing's neck and hugged him tightly, at this moment she knew that she couldn't escape from the palm of this man's hand.

He gave her all his trust, and she will certainly live up to her trust.

"Okay, wipe your face, if you don't know, you still think I'm bullying you, Li Mu promised to come to me to do things, you still have a lot of opportunities to see him, but although I trust you, but I'm not safe around me, don't spread any rumors that are unfavorable to you, after all, my father is now on the throne as the emperor, and I have become a prince now, there are too many things to pay attention to." Xiao Jingqing reminded him uneasily.

"Well, I understand, don't worry. I'm not going to mess with you. Zhou Xiya assured.

"Are you feeling better?" Xiao Jingqing touched Zhou Xiya's forehead and saw that his wife's complexion was better than yesterday.

"It's fine. If the fever is gone, the person has no strength. Let's go see the child, you haven't taken a closer look at Zheng'er, let me tell you about the little one. When Zhou Xiya got out of bed, she was about to take Xiao Jingqing to see her son.

"You have a good rest, I'll bring the child over, and we'll sleep together as a family today." Xiao Jingqing pressed Zhou Xiya back to the bed and got up to hug the child.

The corners of Zhou Xiya's mouth curled, and she smiled very gently-

The next day, Zhou Xiya sat in the guest room. He held a teacup in his hand, but he didn't have the heart to take a sip of water, and his eyes kept looking at the door.

Until the figure walked in, Zhou Xiya's hand shook, the teacup fell to the ground, broke in half, and a crisp voice sounded, making Zhou Xiya come back to his senses.

"Xiya, I'm coming back without dying. That's how you welcomed me! Li Mu made a joke and stretched out his arms, "Give me a celebratory hug." ”

"Li Mu" Zhou Xiya glared, walked over and kicked Li Mu's leg, and hit Li Mu's body with both hands: "Why did you come back." Why did you come back......"

Li Mu just stood so upright and let Zhou Xiya fight, looking at Zhou Xiya with tears like rain, she was very distressed.

Zhou Xiya was tired. Crying and falling on Li Mu, his mouth was still muttering. How did you just come back.

"Haven't I come back? Xiya, I'm sorry. I came back late. Li Mu hugged Zhou Xiya.

Zhou Xiya wiped her tears and stood up straight, Li Mu looked at the empty embrace, feeling stunned, but soon looked at Zhou Xiya with a smile on her face.

"Have you been hurt, are you all right now? When did you come back? Where have you been all this time? Zhou Xiya hurriedly asked.

"It's okay to stand in front of you intact now, rest assured I'm fine, but I was seriously injured before, so I didn't come back for so long, and I didn't have a chance to pass on the news to you, I only returned to the capital after recovering from my injuries, and I knew that you were in Yingtian, so I came over." Li Mu explained lightly.

"Are you really alright?" Zhou Xiya looked Li Mu up and down, very uneasy.

"Do you look like something is wrong with me?" Li Mu smiled, and his heart warmed his heart for Zhou Xiya's memory.

"I'm relieved that you're okay, as long as you're okay, then I can feel less sorry in my heart." Zhou Xiya lowered her head.

"Xiya, don't say sorry to me, you didn't feel sorry for me, I was sorry for you, if it wasn't for revenge for me, you wouldn't have resolutely married into the Xiao family, it's me who is sorry for you, but now seeing that Xiao Jingqing is so good to you, I feel relieved, live a good life with him in the future, don't worry about me, I will silently stay by your side and protect you." Li Mu touched Zhou Xiya's head, although the smile was far-fetched.

Zhou Xiya just nodded with tears, "After you had an accident, I am in charge of your property, your parents wanted to go over to supervise, but I resisted, and now all the account books are in my hands, I have asked people to prepare, and I will give it to you when I turn around, Steward Liu has been following me to deal with business matters, you can ask him anything, he is very clear." ”

"You and I don't need to be so clear, I've worked hard for you during this time, I know that it's not easy for you, and you've also borne a lot of gossip." Li Mu looked at Zhou Xiya apologetically, he knew what his parents were like, and with the involvement behind those families, it was conceivable how much pressure Xiya had undertaken, that Xiya was just his fiancée, if it weren't for the Zhou family, what he had earned over the years would have been carved up a long time ago.

"No, a yard is a yard, those are your things, my talent in business is not as good as yours, there has been no major development in the past year, I still give it back to you, you also said that we don't have to divide it so clearly, or you take it over quickly, I can also make it easier." Zhou Xiya smiled slightly.

"Okay," Li Mu had no choice but to nod.

"By the way, remember Xian'er, it's the daughter we adopted, I'll let you take it to you when you go back, let you see, that child is very painful, the time when you disappeared was the most uncomfortable day for me, it was that child who accompanied me, so I persevered, you are the nominal father of the child, and you should meet the child."

"Okay, I'm thinking about that little guy a little bit too, I just hope that my appearance doesn't bother that child. After all, the father she has always called is Xiao Jingqing. This is the only thing Li Mu is worried about, the child is still young. If two fathers appear, the child will be troubled. Not to mention that the child knows that he has been picked up, I am afraid that there will be psychological damage.

"No, that child is very strong, she already knows that she is not my own, you don't know, I used to live in the Xiao family's old house, and the relationship with the people in the old house is not good, some people are talking nonsense in the child's ear, I would have been worried. But the child accepted it quickly, and now he knows that he has three fathers, and the little guy said that if there is a father, there will be one more person who will love her, and she is very lovely. Speaking of her daughter, Zhou Xiya is very proud, the daughter she educated is not a delicate little girl who can only cry.

"The children you teach are the most like you, and I believe that Xian'er will be very good," Li Mu said very sincerely.

"Of course"

Listening to Zhou Xiya's unceremonious words. Both laughed, and at this moment, they let go of their previous love and became best friends instead. A lifelong friend, a friend you can rely on with confidence.

The Battle of Yingtian Guardian began, and the enemy sent 50,000 troops. It is menacing, and the generals are also strong people who can lead troops. Try to take Yingtian, and then conquer the entire south.

There are 30,000 people on Xiao Jingqing's side. Half of the people defended the city, half of them made an emergency, and a large number of militias were also organized to transport stones and other materials to defend the city.

Xiao Jingqing walked on the city tower, inspecting the preparations, and the troops had already pressed the border, and they had to be well prepared to be sure of winning this battle.

"The enemy generals have found out, they have in-laws with the Fu family of the previous dynasty, and they are also from Jiangmen, after the fall of the previous dynasty, their family also disappeared, and now the Fu family has risen up, and they have also come out, and they have been helping the Fu family to restore the country, and their military ability is good, and they fought against your father's army before, and your family didn't get anything cheap." Li Mu came over and told him about the situation of the other party's generals.

"How about you lead the troops to fight the other side this time?" Xiao Jingqing looked at the enemy army camped in the distance, and asked Li Mu, Li Mu is a talent who can write and martial arts, whether it is fighting or dealing with government affairs, although he has brought many generals, but since Li Mu came to help him, then he will give Li Mu a chance and announce in a high-profile manner that everyone is back.

"Me?" Li Mu looked at Xiao Jingqing.

"Well, you always have to let people know that you're back, this is a good opportunity, a chance to make a name for yourself, you must win so that I will give you anything in the future, and others will not say anything." Xiao Jingqing said what he thought.

"Okay, then I'll fight this battle for you" Li Mu was also very moved.

"You gave me a chance, and I can't do without reciprocation, take it" Li Mu handed Xiao Jingqing an object.

Xiao Jingqing looked at the object in his hand, he didn't know what it was for, and looked at Li Mu suspiciously

"This is a telescope, put it in front of the eye, turn the tube on the outside, you can adjust the clarity of seeing far and near." Li Mu also had one on his waist, giving Xiao Jingqing a demonstration, holding it up and looking into the distance.

When Xiao Jingqing learned, his face was full of surprise, how could there be such a thing, he could see it so clearly from such a distance, and even an old man in the enemy barracks could see it very clearly, if this thing was used in the army, it would be equivalent to the army having clairvoyance and being able to see the situation of the enemy army in advance, which would have the opportunity to prepare in advance, and the big victory would make me a big deal.

"How much of this stuff is there, and how much can it be supplied to the army?" Xiao Jingqing was a little urgent.

"At present, only 50 are produced, because the materials used are very expensive and it is not easy to polish, so there are not many, and if you want, you can buy them with money." Li Mu didn't say the exact number, before he asked people to study glass, and now it has been produced, but the purity is not enough, Li Mu came back, gave them some suggestions, and guided them to improve the technology, which produced a batch of glass with relatively high transparency, and the first batch of goods was made into a telescope, although it is far less than that of later generations, but the existing conditions are already good.

"You mention money to me" Xiao Jingqing didn't expect Li Mu to be so direct.

"What's wrong with the money, don't forget that I'm a businessman, and my brother still settles accounts, you won't let my business supplement your family's army for free." Li Mu held his arm, if Xiao Jingqing dared to do this, see how he made a fuss.

"Okay, here you go" Xiao Jingqing wanted to roll his eyes, Li Mu, this iron rooster-

"Miss, Miss, Li Gongzi led the army to fight the enemy in the city." got the news and came in to report it.

"What, Li Mu led the troops?" Zhou Xiya stood up.

"Yes, the two sides are already fighting outside the city," nodded.

Zhou Xiya sat on the chair and clenched her fists, how could she not be worried in her heart.

"Miss, don't worry, Li Gongzi is brave and strategic, he will be fine, besides, there are so many soldiers to protect him, there is still an uncle in the rear, fighting is an opportunity to make a name for himself, my uncle doesn't need to use such an opportunity to harm Li Gongzi, my uncle is not that kind of person." Mama Zhou persuaded.

"I know, I know Xiao Jingqing, and I also know Li Mu, but I'm just a little worried, let's go, now everyone is busy defending the city, we can't do nothing, who said that only men can defend the city, we women can still do something." Zhou Xiya got up.

Zhou Xiya stood at the gate of the mansion, asking people to worry about the women in the city, how many can be attracted, and soon, a lot of women gathered at the gate of the mansion, both old and young.

"Sisters, aunts and aunts, everyone should know that I am the second aunt and wife of the Xiao family, Xiao Jingqing's wife, and now my husband is guarding Yingtian with soldiers, these soldiers may have your husbands, sons, brothers, your relatives are not guarding Yingtian for my Xiao family, but guarding Yingtian for yourself, guarding our homeland, men are fighting bloody on the battlefield, we women can't just hide behind, watching with our eyes, we have to take action and do something we can do, we can't be on the battlefield, Is it possible to relax a sip of hot water for soldiers coming down from the battlefield, is it possible to help carry some wounded things, and is it possible to cook a hot meal for everyone...... You can do it or not. Zhou Xiya said loudly.

"Yes...... OK...... We can ......" The women's emotions were driven by Zhou Xiya, shouting that they could, who said that women are incapable, but no one gave them a chance, but as long as they are given a chance, they can hold up half the sky.

"Okay, then everyone obey the order and obey the command, I will tell everyone what can be done, our Xiao family will not forget everyone's contributions, the soldiers will not forget your contributions, and Yingtian will not forget your ......" Zhou Xiya smiled.

Soon, several capable grandmothers and maids around her were photographed, and she also found a doctor in the city, and asked the doctor to hand over the young women selected, and let them help bandage the wounds when the time came, and some of them went to cook under the city walls, make water, and do everything they could.

Zhou Xiya also opened the Xiao family's warehouse, Xiao Ruiqing fled in the wilderness, and a lot of the food that the Xiao family had stored before didn't have time to transport it away, so she took it out at this time and gave it to these soldiers to eat.

Under the dispatch of Zhou Xiya, the women exerted all their enthusiasm, and everyone worked together to guard Yingtian and protect their homeland. (To be continued.) )
