After hoarding billions of goods and traveling through the book, he farmed in another world to suppo

"Your Highness, everything has been arranged. We have laid a tight net to ensure the Chu family's death. Once we burn down the prefectural government, we can allow our people to take over the entire Yangzhou. Your Highness can then do whatever he wants."

"I remember you said the same thing last time? What was the result? Didn't you let that Chu guy live well?"

"Your Highness, please forgive me. I promise that this time everything will go perfectly fine."

"I will trust you once more. If you fail again, go back to Liangzhou to deal with the disaster victims. I don't keep useless people around me."

"Yes, Your Highness."

……

Lu Yuan only vaguely heard one or two sentences and did not hear any key information, so he did not take it seriously.

Xiao Li heard that the person next door happened to be the male protagonist Zhou Yucheng, who was also the person sent by the current emperor to the three northern states to be in charge of disaster relief.

Yangzhou City is close to Qinghe River. Although the water level of Qinghe River has dropped, the impact is not too great, and the disaster in the areas near the river bank is not serious.

Among the three northern states, the one hit hardest by drought was Liangzhou, the northernmost state. Logically speaking, even if Zhou Yucheng did not go to Liangzhou, he should have stayed in a place not too far away from Liangzhou, rather than Yangzhou City, which was only separated from the Central Plains by a river.

You have to know that Yangzhou City is still some distance away from Liangzhou. If disaster relief is really needed, even if someone rushes to deliver the news, the time wasted in going back and forth will cause the situation to change rapidly, and it will be impossible to deal with it effectively.

It was obvious that Zhou Yucheng did not care much about disaster relief, otherwise it would not be like this.

One could even tell from his tone that perhaps going to Liangzhou was almost like exile.

Originally, Xiao Li had not planned to get rid of him directly when the other party was providing disaster relief. After all, keeping him alive could at least deter some villains.

However, the things Yu Qingshan handed over to him on the day of departure were enough for him to intimidate the villains. However, he was bound to be in the spotlight and known by the world. It would probably be difficult for him to live an ordinary life as before.

Should I maintain the status quo and wait for the emperor to send someone, or should I intervene directly?

At the same time, Xiao Li thought of the incident that the male protagonist might not even have seen his appearance clearly, but had already sent someone to kill him.

It would have been fine if he was seen outside alone back then, but now he is not only accompanied by his husband, but also by two children under the age of three.

They had never seen blood before. Even if he could protect them, what if he scared them? Especially the children were still young. What if they got hurt?

The more he thought about it, the stronger the murderous intent in Xiao Li's heart became. He gave people the feeling of a Shura who had crawled back from a sea of corpses and blood.

This was the first time Lu Yuan saw him like this. She was stunned for a moment, then called him "husband". When he didn't respond, she stretched out her hand and waved it in front of his eyes, "Husband, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay," Xiao Li came back to his senses and looked at him sideways, the murderous intent in his eyes had not completely faded.

Seeing the worried and nervous look on his young husband's face, Xiao Li closed his eyes, pulled him into his arms and hugged him tightly, and asked him, "Will Yuan'er be afraid of me?"

"No." The young husband answered without hesitation, his tone very firm, but he didn't understand. "Why do you ask that, husband?"

Xiao Li naturally couldn't say that he had ever killed people as easily as killing chickens. After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "What if I killed someone one day?"

"Then, then someone must have done something to hurt my husband. I don't blame my husband." Lu Yuan suddenly felt a little panicked. She hugged him tightly, feeling his steady and strong heartbeat, and continued to remain calm. "I will never be afraid of my husband."

Xiao Li lowered his eyes and looked at the little husband in his arms. The once barren and desolate desert in his heart suddenly became like a spring rain that moistened everything silently, and everything began to come back to life.

"Yuan'er, I want to bully you." He stared at the young husband who was still in a state of panic with a burning gaze, and his eyes gradually became darker.

Hearing his hint, Lu Yuan's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and she nodded lightly under that burning gaze.

The next moment, his chin was pinched and his face was forced upwards, and the man's handsome face magnified before his eyes.

Soon, his lips were gently bitten, his eyes were covered, and a man's low and hoarse voice came to his ears, "Yuan'er, concentrate."

He unconsciously said "hmm~" and then sank into the man's deep kiss.

Watching the young husband gradually immersed in the kiss, the fire in Xiao Li's heart seemed to be burning fiercely, clamoring to tear him apart and swallow him into his stomach.

But no, not here.

When Lu Yuan couldn't help but gently hit his chest and struggled, he took a deep breath, held his waist with both hands and stood up.

Lu Yuan's eyes were sparkling with water, her legs were so weak that she could only lean on him, and she shyly buried her face in his shoulder, revealing only her ears that were as red as blood and her pink neck.

Even though they had done all kinds of shameful things, doing such intimate things outside was still too exciting for him, but he just didn't want to refuse.

Although Xiao Li satisfied his craving, he felt like drinking poison to quench his thirst. Not only did he not feel satisfied, but it also brought out deeper desires.

Knowing that he was shy, Xiao Li didn't say it even though he wanted to do something else. He gently stroked his back with his hand and waited until he came to his senses before taking his hand away.

Lu Yuan looked around and stepped back a little, "How long are we going to stay here?"

Although the food here is a little delicious, but when he stays here, he can't help but think of what just happened. His heart beats faster and his face turns red.

Seeing that he wanted to leave, Xiao Li didn't bother him intentionally. He picked him up and said, "Let's go now!"

"So soon?" Lu Yuan was surprised. He thought he would stay for a while longer, but he didn't expect him to leave so soon.

Xiao Li pinched his face amusedly, "Don't you want to leave?"

"Hmm..." Lu Yuan didn't have the habit of suffering for the sake of face. Even though he felt a little embarrassed, he didn't deny it.

When they reached the door and opened it, Xiao Li put him down and held his hand instead.

Lu Yuan looked down and pulled each other's sleeves to cover up a little.

Seeing this, Xiao Li curled up the corners of his mouth silently, but quickly put away the smile when he looked at him.

Lu Yuan glanced at him, didn't notice anything, and walked out with him side by side.

When he was leaving, Xiao Li glanced at the box next to him calmly, then used his mental power to connect to the space jade pendant and transferred the contents to his own space in an instant.

At the same time, a jade pendant with a peace locket appeared in his hand. He played with the jade pendant twice with his hand, which was covered by his sleeves, and left the teahouse as if nothing had happened.

In the box, Zhou Yucheng, who was dressed in a gorgeous blue brocade robe, suddenly frowned as if he had sensed something, and tilted his head to stare at the door.

Beside him was an ordinary-looking man. Seeing him staring at the door, he thought something was wrong, so he walked towards that direction with light steps, then put his hand on the door and suddenly opened it.

But there was nothing outside the door. He frowned in confusion and turned to look at Zhou Yucheng, "Your Highness?"

"It's okay." Although he said so, Zhou Yucheng's brows did not relax at all.

For some reason, at that moment, he suddenly felt inexplicably panicked, as if he had lost something vital.

After finishing the business, he sent his subordinates away, opened the window of the box, stood in front of the window and looked down.

There were many people coming and going below, but he just glanced past them and didn't take them seriously.

Suddenly, a tall and straight black figure passed through the sight.

The sight that had already passed by turned back and fell on the figure.

Maybe it was because he rarely failed at what he was trying to do, but Zhou Yucheng’s memory almost instantly went back to three years ago, and the person he met here.

He was very sure that the man downstairs was the same person as that year, and nothing good would happen every time he met that person.

Without caring about anything else, Zhou Yucheng called out his secret guards and asked them to mobilize all the manpower and material resources they could mobilize and to kill that person at all costs.

The secret guards only obey orders and don't care about right or wrong. They leave after receiving the order.

On the street not far away, Xiao Li noticed the other party's presence almost at the same time as the secret guards were dispatched.

If possible, Xiao Li didn't want his young husband to see him killing someone, so he sighed silently as he walked.

Is this going to force him to reveal his true colors in front of his young husband?

He glanced sideways at his excited young husband, "Yuan'er."

"Hmm?" Lu Yuan tilted her head slightly to look at him, with the spring in her eyes and eyebrows still lingering. She was so beautiful that people just wanted to hold her in their hands and coax her.

Xiao Li was naturally no exception, but this was outside, and he couldn't let his young husband enter the space directly. He could only settle for the second best, which was also a kind of honesty.

He squeezed Lu Yuan's hand with a little force, glanced at her sideways with tenderness and heartache, then continued walking forward with him as if nothing had happened. "No matter what happens later, Yuan'er, don't be afraid. I'm here and nothing will happen to you."

"I know my husband will protect me," Lu Yuan looked at him with a smile, her eyes full of trust and reliance on him. "No matter what happens, as long as you are by my side, I am not afraid."

Xiao Li naturally believed this, but what was about to happen was not an ordinary thing, but...

Kill and silence.

Fearing that he might scare his young husband, Xiao Li didn't tell him what would happen in advance. He only warned him, "No matter what sound comes from behind, Yuan'er, don't look back or run around. Can you do that?"

If he said he couldn't do it, Xiao Li would let him enter the space even at the risk of being exposed.

But at the same time, if things came to that, his past experience of killing people like butchering dogs would be forever buried in his memory, and his young husband would not be able to see even a little bit of it.

Fortunately, the person he liked did not disappoint him. Without hesitation, he nodded his head and said, "Husband, don't worry. I will do it!"

Although she didn't know what he was doing, after hearing him emphasize this matter again and again, Lu Yuan kept it firmly in mind.

Just be obedient. I'm not Xue'er, so I can do it easily.

Lu Yuan didn't realize the seriousness of the matter until...

Looking at the increasingly remote alley, he turned his head in confusion and wanted to ask Xiao Li where he was going, but a low voice stopped him in his ear, "Yuan'er, look ahead."

"Hmm?" Lu Yuan instinctively did as he said, and couldn't help but glance at him from the corner of her eye. "What's wrong?"

"I'll explain to Yuan'er later." While speaking, Xiao Li activated his psychic powers, making the killer fall into the beautiful dream that he most wanted to achieve at the moment.

The man waved the knife in the air, then began to circle around and talk to himself in the air.

"Your Highness, the man has been killed."

"No one else saw it, Your Highness, don't worry."

"I have another important discovery to report, Your Highness..."

At the end of his words, the man suddenly thrust his knife forward, with a hideous and ugly smile on his face.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

"Zhou Yucheng, you didn't expect that? You would die in my hands?"

"Back then, you asked me to kill my parents with my own hands. I didn't dare show the slightest sign of abnormality, for fear that if you found out, you would kill me too, leaving me with no chance of revenge."

"Looking at your hypocritical face every day these years, I can only remember that I still have a blood feud to avenge. Otherwise, do you know how much I want to kill you?"

"Now you are finally dead, finally dead!"

"Dad and Mom, your unfilial son has avenged you. Don't worry, your son will be with you soon."

Lu Yuan couldn't help but feel creepy when listening to the creepy monologue coming from behind her.

He held Xiao Li's hand tightly, and for a moment he didn't know whether his hand was shaking or his husband's hand was shaking.

Sensing his fear, Xiao Li covered his eyes, pulled him into his arms, and patted his back soothingly, "Be good, it will be fine soon."

"Well...it's okay, it's okay." Lu Yuan grabbed his clothes tightly. Although she didn't know why he didn't leave this "dangerous place", she still stayed in his arms obediently.

Xiao Li bent down and kissed the top of his head, then glanced sideways at the situation over there. When he found that the other party had closed his eyes peacefully, he let him go and raised his foot to walk over there.

Lu Yuan instinctively pulled his sleeve, turned around and followed him back, "Husband, we..." Why don't we go back to the inn first?

The words had just left his mouth when his eyes fell upon the corpse still bleeding. His voice stopped abruptly and his steps also stopped abruptly.

Xiao Li held his big hand a little harder, drawing his attention to himself, "Don't be afraid, he can't hurt Yuan'er."

"I know, but..." Lu Yuan's voice was trembling. He took a deep breath and managed to return his voice to normal. "Someone's dead, my husband, someone's dead here."

This was the first time Lu Yuan had ever seen a real corpse in his life.

He knew that the corpse would definitely not hurt him, but he was still panicked and scared.

However, Xiao Li calmly told him the cruel reality, "If we continue north, the famine will become more severe. There may be more corpses and even more cruel scenes. Yuan'er, do you still want to continue walking with me?"

"Of course!" Lu Yuan could still distinguish between momentary fear and long-term worry.
