Are you crazy? Trying to trick him into military service? He's the number one dragon on the fro

On that day, Emperor Dehong invited Lu Xiao and his wife Liu Xianya to dine in the palace. When they entered the palace, there were two of them, but when they came out, there were three of them.

Lu Xiao glanced at Princess Yuezhen beside him with a strange expression, thinking to himself that the Emperor was really able to restrain himself and had not yet taken Princess Yuezhen, who had been in the palace for so long, into the harem.

And surprisingly, just as the King of Hu wished, he actually betrothed Princess Yuezhen to him as a concubine!

Even now, his mind is still buzzing, and he doesn't understand what Emperor Dehong is trying to do.

Is it because they think that the upcoming battle against the Northern Hu will be able to intimidate the other side, which is why they are acting this way?

Otherwise, if the King of Hu knew this news, he would be furious!

"Moonlight Sister, we've arrived."

Before they knew it, everyone had returned to the Marquis of Champion's residence. Liu Xianya, pulling the still somewhat timid and nervous Princess Yuezhen along, entered the house with a smile:

"From now on, you are a member of the Lu family. If you have any needs in the future, just ask, and I, as your older sister, will do my best to meet them."

"Moreover, you yourself have the blood of my Great Zhou, so life shouldn't be too difficult for you."

Upon hearing this, Princess Yuezhen nodded, allowing the other party to arrange her life:

"It's entirely up to you, sister."

At this moment, she felt both excited and apprehensive. She was excited because she could finally live in the Great Zhou Dynasty legitimately.

During her time in the palace, she lived in constant fear and anxiety.

Although Emperor Dehong provided her with food and clothing, she always felt like she was living under someone else's roof, and since the other party was the emperor of the Great Zhou, she naturally felt a sense of awe.

She feared that once Emperor Dehong saw through her father's scheme, he would send her back directly.

Once things developed this way, Princess Yuezhen realized that her future life would be like hell!

So when she was given to Lu Xiao as a concubine, she was very happy that she didn't have to go back.

Her fear stemmed from not knowing Lu Xiao's character, and the fact that he was a formidable figure in the war against the Northern Hu, making her afraid that Lu Xiao would use her to threaten the Hu king.

"Alright, you two get to know each other first. I have other things to do."

Lu Xiao returned home and rested for only a short while before preparing to go out:

"Xianya, your husband is about to return to the White Wolf Camp. I need to bid farewell to the Prime Minister and several ministers. In addition, there is a batch of grain and supplies that I need to personally check."

"These things need to be done by tomorrow, which is rather rushed."

"Is my husband leaving the day after tomorrow?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Xianya felt an overwhelming sense of reluctance.

"We just got married yesterday..."

"This parting is for a long companionship in the future."

Lu Xiao gave a wry smile, patted Liu Xianya's head, and said:

"Only by defeating the Northern Hu as soon as possible can we live in peace."

"I'm leaving now, that's all for now."

After saying that, he strode away from home.

In the courtyard, Liu Xianya and Princess Yuezhen watched his retreating figure with complicated expressions.

Princess Yuezhen, in particular, felt extremely uncomfortable.

She was shocked and even a little confused that Lu Xiao would talk about attacking the Northern Hu in front of her, but her heart was calmed down after that.

At least Lu Xiao had no intention of taking her along to fight against the Northern Hu.

Coming to her senses, Princess Yuezhen turned to look at Liu Xianya:

"Please feel free to tell me what you need next, sister."

……

After leaving the Marquis of Champion's mansion, Lu Xiao did intend to bid farewell to Zhou Kang, Zhao Zhen, and other powerful figures. However, he soon saw the four纨绔 (playboys) appear, and it seemed that they had come for him.

After the two sides met, he looked at the four people with curiosity:

"Brothers, what's going on here...?"

"Brother, we've decided that we will accompany you to the White Wolf camp this time!"

Zhou Qi smiled and dropped a bombshell that shocked Lu Xiao:

"To be honest, the four of us have long yearned for life on the frontier, but unfortunately we have never dared to go there in person. Now that you are here with me, we are willing to give it a try."

"That's right!"

Qian Haiyun nodded emphatically to the side:

"A true man's ambition lies in all corners of the world. We've grown tired of the life of a spoiled brat and intend to contribute to the Great Zhou. Otherwise, when we're old, won't we be laughed at by our descendants?"

Zhao Qing and Wang Xingrong also stated that they were indeed influenced by Lu Xiao, and after discussing it together, they made this decision.

Lu Xiao was both amused and exasperated by this, then said with a serious expression:

"Brothers, war is not child's play; lives are in danger at any moment. This matter is of great importance. Have you informed your families?"

"My dad completely agrees!"

Zhou Qi laughed loudly, indicating that they dared not leave the capital without their father's permission:

"Moreover, my father said that if I can achieve merit on the battlefield, he will no longer control my life, and I can make my own decisions about everything."

"He said he would never allow it if it were anyone else, but he has complete peace of mind knowing he's with you, my dear brother!"

"And you?"

Seeing that they had already made up their minds, Lu Xiao didn't say anything more, but instead turned his gaze to Zhao Qing with considerable worry:

"I remember that the Minister only has you as his son. If something unexpected happens to you on the battlefield..."

"Please rest assured, Brother Lu!"

Zhao Qing, being very easygoing, said that none of this was a problem:

"After my father learned that I was going to the frontier, he discussed with my mother overnight about having another son."

"Lord Zhao is truly...still vigorous for his age!"

Lu Xiao was completely speechless, thinking to himself that these children of officials really do whatever they want.

However, since they had obtained their father's permission, he wouldn't stop them, but he wanted to make a few things clear:

"Brothers, you may come with me, but let me make this clear beforehand: once you are in the army, you can no longer act as the relatives of officials or as spoiled brats. Instead, you must regard yourselves as equals to ordinary soldiers."

"Furthermore, all matters related to the military must be discussed with me before a decision is made!"

"If you cannot obey orders, you may all go home now!"

Lu Xiao had thought it through clearly. Although Zhou Kang and the others said they didn't care about the lives of these guys, they would still investigate if anything really happened. Therefore, the safety of the four playboys was of paramount importance.

This inadvertently added a lot of trouble for him.

Simply refusing might offend the other party.

He could only grit his teeth and accept it; at worst, he could keep the four纨绔 (playboys) by his side and live with them.

Zhou Qi made a serious statement:

"Please rest assured, my dear brother. Since we have made this decision, we are already prepared to endure hardship and will never make things difficult for you."

"But when shall we set off?"

"Early the day after tomorrow!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qi and the others exchanged glances, surprised that Lu Xiao was leaving in such a hurry. After regaining their senses, they quickly took their leave, saying they needed to go home immediately to pack their bags.

Seeing this, Lu Xiao smiled and shook his head.

For the next day and more, he was busy during the day and busy at night, trying to exchange skills with Liu Xianya as much as possible. Before he knew it, the time had passed.
