The subordinate’s face instantly lit up.
“Boss…” He looked at Xiao Yang excitedly.
Some people didn’t know, but as his boss’ most capable subordinate, he knew.
He left because he had heard news of the young general.
Since the boss was back, had he already met the young general?!
Xiao Yang gave him a warning look, and he stopped talking.
“Send a secret message. Be careful not to alarm others.” He said in a deep voice.
“Yes, sir!” The subordinate hurriedly cupped his fists and replied.
Then, he called a soldier to escort Xiao Yang, who had put on his mask again, to the main tent before leaving quickly.
As for Li Xiao, he secretly followed them not far away.
Not long after they entered, Deputy General Wang and the others arrived.
“Xiao Yang, you brat, you’re finally back!” Seeing Xiao Yang, Deputy General Wang quickened his pace.
The others also entered the tent.
“Uncle Wang, I haven’t seen you for a few days and you look stronger!” Xiao Yang replied mischievously.
“Mr. Xu, you’re becoming more and more like a sage!”
“Also…”
Xiao Yang kept flattering everyone, instantly livening up the atmosphere, and at the same time, breaking the imposing manner of the few people who had come to denounce him.
“You brat!” Deputy General Wang said, but a smile had already appeared on his face.
“Stop talking nonsense and tell me quickly. Did you see Old Fang? Also, is the young general really in Qingshi Town?” Deputy General Wang asked.
The rest of the people also kept their smiles and looked at Xiao Yang nervously.
The young general was the Nangong family’s last hope, and also their last hope.
They had been defending this place for his sake.
“Yes. I did.” Xiao Yang replied.
“Tell me quickly! How is Young Master now?” Mr. Xu asked anxiously.
The Nangong Army had previously found out that Emperor Yan was going after the Young Master and the Ninth Prince, and both of them had already died.
They could not believe this.
After that, Head Fang suddenly sent a message saying that the Young Master was fine and was in Qingshi Town.
They didn’t know if it was true or not.
Although Xiao Yang’s hasty departure had brought some trouble to the Nangong Army, it was also to confirm the Young Master’s condition.
Now, they finally got the news.
The others also looked at Xiao Yang.
Tears appeared in Xiao Yang’s eyes.
Then, he smiled.
“Mr. Xu, Master has passed away. It’s not appropriate to call him Young Master anymore.”
Mr. Xu’s expression changed slightly, and he cupped his hands at Xiao Yang.
“Yes, I misspoke. Master…” He looked at Xiao Yang nervously again.
Xiao Yang shifted his gaze to the screen not far away.
“Master himself will tell you.”He said.
Everyone was shocked, and several gazes immediately turned towards the screen.
A figure finally walked out from behind the screen.
He was tall, muscular, and had strong facial features.
Who else could it be but Li Xiao?
Everyone’s hearts instantly sank.
“Master!” Mr. Xu was the first to recover from his shock. He knelt down on one knee in front of Li Xiao.
“Greetings, Master!” The rest of the people hurriedly said and knelt down on one knee.
Li Xiao quickly stepped forward and helped Mr. Xu up.
“Everyone, please get up. I came late.” He said in a deep voice.
“It’s not your fault. Emperor Yan was overbearing. You are able to escape from the demonic claws of the Yan Emperor because the Great General was blessed by the heavens.”
“As servants of the Nangong Clan, we led the Nangong Army to defend this place and wait for you. You are finally back!” Mr. Xu said excitedly.
Li Xiao’s expression changed.
“Mr. Xu, you are too kind. You are the backbone of the Nangong Army, not servants! It was the Nangong Clan’s fault that all of you were implicated.”
“I, Nangong Xiao, on behalf of the Nangong Clan, apologize to everyone and the soldiers of the Nanogong Army.” After he finished speaking, Li Xiao bowed to everyone.
The expressions of Mr. Xu and the others changed drastically.
“Master, you must not!” He quickly helped Li Xiao up.
“We are from the Nangong Army and have received the favor of the Nangong Clan. Without the Nangong family, there would be no us.”
“Fortunately, you escaped safely, and the Nangong Army still has a master. Now, the entire army is at your command!”
With that, Mr. Xu knelt down on one knee again.
“At your service, General!” The rest also knelt down on one knee.
Li Xiao’s heart skipped a beat.
“Good!” He said in a deep voice..
