"Who?" Wang Xinyao was shocked, as if struck by lightning, and immediately shouted angrily, and then prepared to take action!

"Xinyao, it's me!" At this moment, the familiar voice sounded in my ears like the sound of nature, "I'm glad you're okay!"

"You're crazy! How could you come to Nanhu County?" Wang Xinyao lowered her voice and roared angrily, sensing the familiar warmth. "Don't you know the current situation is as dangerous as a den of dragons and tigers? The capital has sent people again!"

"I don't care. You have to go home so late today. I'm worried that something might happen to you. Relatively speaking, I think your safety is more important than anything else!" Zhao Haoxuan was a little willful. He held her hand like an iron clamp and never let go!

Wang Xinyao's heart softened, and she sighed helplessly, "Let me go first."

Zhao Haoxuan held her tighter, as if afraid that if he let go, Wang Xinyao would disappear. Although she had downplayed the incident with Wu Mingjie last time, he still felt that things were not that simple.

Wang Xinyao sighed, patted the back of his hand gently, and said softly, "I'll be fine, don't worry. Let's go back first. This is not the place to talk."

Zhao Haoxuan then reluctantly let go, and the carriage headed towards Xiejia Village.

The swift horse galloped at lightning speed and returned home in a moment. When they arrived home, everyone else had already fallen asleep. Only General Xiong Yun, upon seeing Wang Xinyao and the others, disappeared like a ghost.

Arriving at the hall, Wang Xinyao told Zhao Haoxuan everything about her meeting with the two Lords Yang today and the surveillance she had undergone.

Zhao Haoxuan frowned after hearing this and fell into deep thought. After a long while, he slowly said, "My uncle and his family came to Nanhu County for two reasons."

"Which two reasons?" Wang Xinyao asked.

"First, my father has already realized that I was framed for privately carving the imperial seal! However, over the years, my father has believed in his uncle so much that when he falsely accused me of privately carving the imperial seal, he didn't even conduct any investigation and just threw me into jail!" said Zhao Haoxuan.

"My grandmother favors my uncle, so my father also dotes on him. My father is a very filial man. Over the years, he has given my uncle a lot of power. At least half of the people in the court were promoted by my uncle!" Zhao Haoxuan sighed and said.

Wang Xinyao listened quietly.

Zhao Haoxuan continued his analysis, "Even if he knew full well that the Imperial Uncle was setting a trap for me, my father would never do anything that would cause my grandmother grief. Therefore, he would definitely not be the first to break off relations. Furthermore, my Imperial Uncle always likes to pretend to be a wise man. Therefore, during my father's reign, unless he was forced into a desperate situation, he would never harbor the desire to rebel!"

Zhao Haoxuan paused briefly before continuing, "And I am the key to this struggle for the throne. My father is kind-hearted, but my uncle is ruthless. To prevent the suffering of the people and to avoid alerting the enemy, my father had no choice but to find an excuse to banish my two uncles to my side. He must have guessed that I was in Nanhu County, but my uncle would definitely not give me the opportunity to grow!"

"What about the second situation?" Wang Xinyao asked suspiciously!

Zhao Haoxuan replied, "The second possibility is that my two uncles were framed by my uncle, and my father, in a rage, exiled them to a remote place. My uncle is trying to lure me out through my uncle!"

Then, he sighed helplessly and said, "Their ultimate goal is to find me. However, given my father's current situation in the court, it's difficult for him to protect me. Therefore, my best option right now is to cut off contact with everyone and hide myself as best as possible!"

"Okay, no problem. From now on, just focus on your training in the mountains. I'll take care of everything else!" Wang Xinyao thought for a moment and then said, "You'll take those young men we bought last time to the back mountains for training. Don't worry, they're absolutely loyal. Once you've trained them well, they'll be your all-conquering swords!"

"But Xinyao, I am really worried about letting you face danger alone!" Zhao Haoxuan's face was full of worry!

Seeing this, Wang Xinyao softly comforted him, "Don't worry, I'll handle it carefully. Besides, I'll be safer if you don't show up!"

Zhao Haoxuan stared at Wang Xinyao, a glint of determination flashing in his eyes. "Okay, then you must cherish your life and never be reckless. I will work hard to improve my own cultivation. When I am strong enough, I will never let you fall into danger again."

"Okay, I'll pay attention to safety! Bring some food with you and put it in your storage bag. Starting tomorrow, I'll go home every seven days. I'll occasionally go up the mountain to dig herbs and bring you food!" Wang Xinyao said, then took out another bag: "Brother Zhao, this is a first-grade Spirit Gathering Pill I made myself. You can give it to the group of young people when the time comes. There are also four third-grade Spirit Gathering Pills left from last time. Take them all to improve your strength!"

"You gave it all to me, what about you?" Zhao Haoxuan asked, concern in his voice.

"Don't worry, I'm an alchemist now. If you want to eat it, I can make it anytime. Keep it!" Wang Xinyao said with a smile.

Zhao Haoxuan took the bag, his heart filled with gratitude and warmth.

The next morning, Zhao Haoxuan took the twenty young men he had bought and ten young men in the village who had good martial arts talent and good character, and went to the back mountain to start arduous training.

Wang Xinyao stayed at home and continued to handle various affairs.

Since Hu Wei followed Zhao Haoxuan to the mountains for training, the guard team recruited a group of people in Zhangjia Village and Chenjia Village.

General Xiong Yun also stayed in the village to train new recruits. Wang Xinyao gave him two Spirit Gathering Pills. His strength has now reached the fifth level of Grandmaster. Even Xie Dahua has reached the peak of martial arts.

During this time, the happiest person was none other than Mr. Wu. Every time he visited Wu Mingjun, his condition improved day by day. He even told Wang Xinyao that his fifth and sixth concubines were pregnant! Mr. Wu was so happy that he gifted Wang Xinyao a large farm in Chenjia Village!

On the third day, Yu Hua and Zhang Tieru arrived as scheduled. Wang Xinyao handed the two men over to Xie Zhengyi. When the villagers heard that they could spend an hour learning to read for free while working, and their wages would not be reduced, they all smiled. You know, in their eyes, scholars are something only rich people can afford!

Xie Zhengyi was undoubtedly the happiest person to have Zhang Tie arrive. There was simply too much to do in the two workshops, and he simply couldn't handle it all by himself. After all, even though Xie Dahua had come to help, it was only after work! Now that he had these two capable assistants, and they were even more capable than himself, Xie Zhengyi thought to himself: "This feeling of being a boss is pretty good!"
