He held her tightly, but it made Lin Xiaoyue relax instantly.
Listening to the strong and steady heartbeat in his chest, a strong sense of happiness exploded in Lin Xiaoyue’s heart.
At the same time, in the next room.
Head Fang looked strangely at Xiao Yang, who had not said a word.
People who practiced martial arts had keen hearing.
Moreover, the two small rooms were separated by a wooden board, so the sound could be heard very clearly.
Xiao Yang turned his body such that his back was facing Head Fang.
Then, he raised his hand.
Head Fang was shocked.
No way! Was the Young Master crying?
He wanted to laugh, but he held it in.
Thinking of the discussion between Miss and Master, Head Fang’s mind was filled with thoughts.
Head Fang lay down.
Then, he turned his back to Xiao Yang.
They wanted to stop expanding the Nangong Army and let them disappear slowly.
The Miss’ actions went against the Nangong family’s original intention of creating the Nangong Army. She had let down the ancestors of the Nangong Family.
But…even he, who had been in the Nangong Army for as long as he could remember, was tempted by the idea.
He was loyal to the Nangong family, killing enemies and protecting the country for them.
They all did it.
But what was waiting for them?
The loyal and patriotic Great General King, who protected the people of Great Yan, had been convicted and nearly exterminated.
What would happen to the Nangong Army who killed countless enemies and stopped so many invasions?
There were still nearly 6,000 people who lacked food and clothing and were trapped at the border, facing the risk of freezing or starving to death at any time.
Great General King, if you were still here, would you still persist?
In the next room, Lin Xiaoyue had already come out of Li Xiao’s arms and sat on the bed.
“It’s so boring. I have to find something to kill time.” Lin Xiaoyue muttered.
As she spoke, she sent her consciousness into one of her interspatial rings.
She remembered that she had found a deck of poker cards in one of the interspatial rings.
They still had about five days before reaching Xiangshui Town.
They could use the poker cards to pass the time.
After a while, Lin Xiaoyue’s face lit up with joy.
At the same time, a deck of poker cards appeared in her hand.
Facing Li Xiao’s puzzled gaze, Lin Xiaoyue quickly took out the cards from the box.
“Go, call Xiao Yang and Head Fang over. 1’11 teach you how to play poker!” Lin Xiaoyue said excitedly.
Li Xiao was stunned.
“Hurry up and go! Playing poker will make it easier to pass the time!” Seeing that Li Xiao didn’t move, Lin Xiaoyue urged him.
Hesitation flashed across Li Xiao’s face, but he still got up and left the room.
After a while, he called Xiao Yang and Head Fang over.
The two of them were about to bow to Lin Xiaoyue, but Lin Xiaoyue waved her hand to stop them.
“No need for formalities. Come play cards with me.” Shuffling the cards, Lin Xiaoyue smiled at the two.
Xiao Yang and Head Fang were stunned, and then their expressions turned very serious.
Then, they all looked at Li Xiao.
Seeing this, Lin Xiaoyue also looked at Li Xiao, her eyes filled with confusion.
She just asked them to play cards together. Why did they have such an expression?
“You’re not in the army now, so there aren’t so many rules. Have a seat.” Li Xiao said.
Only then did Lin Xiaoyue remember that the Nangong Army had strict military discipline and gambling was not allowed.
Xiao Yang and Head Fang looked at each other before sitting down.
However, they looked reluctant.
Lin Xiaoyue smiled.
“I asked you to come over to play cards to pass the time. I’m not gambling with you.” As she spoke, she placed the shuffled cards in the middle of the table.
Xiao Yang and Head Fang were surprised. Playing cards without gambling?
They looked at the poker cards that Lin Xiaoyue had placed on the table, and there was some doubt in their eyes.
Could it be that they were really overthinking things? They had indeed never seen such gambling equipment before.
Seeing that the two of them were not so resistant anymore, Lin Xiaoyue took out a stack of cards and turned them over for the three of them to see.
“These are poker cards. The biggest card is the king, the queen, and…” Lin Xiaoyue first introduced the composition of the poker cards to the three of them.
Then, she began to explain the rules of the game.
“The game we are going to play is called Hats. Two people sitting opposite each other will form a team…”
The three of them seemed to understand.
Xiao Yang asked several questions, and Lin Xiaoyue answered them one by one.
“Alright, let’s learn by playing. The losing team will be punished.” Lin Xiaoyue covered all the cards and prepared to reshuffle..
