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

In late December, Lu Xiao reappeared on the streets of Hengdu.

Before entering the capital, he first gave urgent instructions to Huang Shan and others, and then wrote a letter to Luo Yang, who was stationed in Changyang County, requesting that he take care of the White Wolf Camp during his absence.

Afterwards, he went south with Wang Xingren to the county town to meet Long Gui.

As I said before, I would definitely pay my respects before going to the capital.

After his trip to the county town, Lu Xiao headed east again, traversing the entire Yuyang County before gradually moving northeast towards the capital. Wang Xingren, on the other hand, remained in the county town to handle some matters before returning to the capital.

Geographically speaking, Yuyang Commandery and Hengdu are both in the north, almost on the same latitude line, except that a part of their territory was occupied by the Hu people.

So we have to take a detour.

After arriving in the capital, Lu Xiao saw that it was already late and the palace gates were locked, so he could only go to the Liu residence first to see Liu Xianya, whom he had not seen for a long time, and rest for the night so that he could enter the palace in the best condition the next day.

As soon as he arrived at the Liu residence, he found the main gate wide open, and Liu Xianya, wearing a snow-white wolf-skin cloak, holding an umbrella to greet him.

This scene left Lu Xiao completely stunned.

As darkness fell and snow began to fall in the capital, Liu Xianya's attire made her look like a snow fairy.

What moved him even more was the wolf-skin cloak on the other person's shoulders!

That was what he got after hunting down the White Wolf King. Although it was sewn into a cloak, it didn't quite match Liu Xianya's current appearance.

After all, its workmanship is somewhat rough.

Unexpectedly, Liu Xianya didn't mind.

"It's so cold outside, why are you waiting for me?"

"Hurry inside."

Coming to his senses, Lu Xiao strode forward, took the oil-paper umbrella from her hand, and walked side by side toward the backyard of the Liu residence.

"Besides, I'm not some VIP, why open the main entrance so wide?"

"All I want is for my husband to come home to a family who will greet him."

Liu Xianya's eyes were red, but not from sadness, but from happiness.

It had been half a year since the couple had last seen each other.

She then explained with a smile:

"As for the middle gate, it was that kid Wubing who suggested opening it. He said you were worth it."

Chatting and laughing, the two arrived at the backyard.

Liu Xianya took off his fur coat and placed it aside:

"Wu Bing is still on duty in the army, but judging by the time, he should be back in about two hours."

"My lord, please have a cup of warm wine to warm yourself up!"

"So, you're never home unless you're sick!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Xiao's eyes lit up, and he immediately scooped Liu Xianya up in his arms, carrying her towards the room amidst her coquettish gaze.

"Xianya, a day apart feels like three autumns. I, your husband, have been missing you terribly since I left Bailang."

"Let's have a good talk about how much we miss each other while my brother-in-law is still away!"

"Never serious..."

Liu Xianya's face flushed red, but she still nodded, nestled in his arms, and hugged his neck tightly.

……

An hour later, both of them had fine beads of sweat on their foreheads.

As Liu Xianya wiped him down with a hot towel, she smiled contentedly:

"Why didn't you bring Chang Rui with you this time you came to Beijing?"

She knew Fan Changrui; the two women had been corresponding recently and got along almost like sisters.

Lu Xiao initially thought Fan Changrui said that to help him win over Wang Qingqing, but he hadn't expected the two women to have been corresponding before. He couldn't help but smile wryly.

"Chang Rui is a very busy person now, she has to take care of all the businesses of the Fan family, big and small, and she basically can't spare any time."

"However, she is already training useful people in the Fan family. I believe it won't be long before she can become a hands-off manager, and then you will have a chance to meet."

Having said all that, Lu Xiao thought about it and decided to tell Wang Qingqing what had happened between them:

"Xianya, and Qingqing too..."

A dozen minutes later, he explained that he had drunk the drugged wine that day and had been intimate with Wang Qingqing.

At first, Liu Xianya was stunned for a long time. After she came to her senses, she glared at him reproachfully:

"No wonder Qingqing has been avoiding me lately, it turns out it's because of this."

"Aren't you angry?"

Lu Xiao found it a bit strange, feeling that this shouldn't be Liu Xianya's normal reaction.

The latter laughed:

"Now that things have come to this, what use would my objections be?"

"Moreover, the Lu family is small, and my womb is not fertile. If my husband doesn't have his own child soon, won't this vast family fortune eventually fall into the hands of others?"

"My husband is so grateful to you, woman, for enabling us to have children sooner. I am overjoyed."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xiao was deeply moved and pulled the person into his arms.

The two talked and rested for a while, and their energy recovered somewhat.

Just as he was about to start another battle, there was a knock on the door:

"Sister, is brother-in-law back?"

"I just overheard the servants talking about it."

Liu Xianya blushed and pushed him away. Lu Xiao awkwardly touched his nose and replied while putting on his clothes:

"Yes, it is indeed me."

"I'm talking to your sister, come out right now!"

"I'll be waiting for you in the dining room!"

Fifteen minutes later, Lu Xiao and Liu Xianya arrived hand in hand in the dining room. Liu Wubing had already ordered the food to be reheated, and upon seeing them, he immediately smiled and pulled them to their seats.

"Brother-in-law, you'll be staying in Huangdu for a long time this time, so could you give me some pointers when you have some free time?"

"You have no idea, my colleagues in the army were very envious after they heard that you were my brother-in-law. They often grabbed me and thought that I had received personal guidance from my brother-in-law."

"You absolutely have to teach me a few special skills this time, otherwise they're driving me crazy!"

Lu Xiao could tell that although the kid seemed to be complaining, he was actually full of envy.

He couldn't help but smile:

"Actually, my brother-in-law doesn't have any special skills. If I had to say he does, it's just a matter of practice!"

"It's that simple?"

Liu Wubing didn't believe that his brother-in-law's numerous brilliant achievements were due to this.

Lu Xiao smiled:

"Plus, you have superhuman strength!"

For a moment, Liu Wubing slumped his shoulders in dejection:

"In that case, brother-in-law, please teach me a few tricks to defeat the enemy."

"Furthermore, I've mastered the marksmanship my brother-in-law taught me last time. If there are any remaining moves, please teach them to me as well!"

As he spoke, he walked directly into the courtyard, picked up a long spear, and began to wield it.

Liu Xianya looked at him with a mixture of amusement and exasperation:

"Don't you know your brother-in-law just got back and is exhausted?"

"Besides, your amateurish skills are like showing off your limited abilities in front of your brother-in-law; you'd better put them away right away!"

"Sister, I just wanted to show my brother-in-law my shortcomings, didn't I?"

Liu Wubing offered an excuse in frustration, then his gaze fell on Lu Xiao:

"Brother-in-law, what do you think?"
