It was very likely that they would not dig the mine again, and just investigate it privately.

This was not a groundless thought, Xiao Tianyao would come to such a conclusion because if it were him, he would not spend much effort investigating. Because the ore mine has been hollowed out. There was not much black iron ore left in it. However, even if he didn’t get much, it was enough for a few hundred people to fight with black armor on their whole bodies.

The Central Empire will never reveal that they privately dug black iron ores in the boundary of the two countries. So for a few pieces of black iron ores, it was not worth it to cause trouble.

Therefore, Xiao Tianyao took this batch of black iron without any pressure.

After holding Lin Chujiu, Xiao Tianyao closed his eyes and slept very peacefully.

This sleep, he slept directly until it was dark. Xiao Tianyao didn’t get up immediately after waking up, but half propped his head up and looked at Lin Chujiu’s quiet sleeping face.

Lin Chujiu was actually very beautiful.

It was not the kind of weak beauty people can see everywhere, but beauty with tenacity.

Her thick eyebrows, big eyes, and bright facial contour, don’t meet the current aesthetics, nor does it meet the requirements of what men longed for in women, but Xiao Tianyao found out, that the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.

He moved his fingertips lightly and rubbed Lin Chujiu’s cheeks. Xiao Tianyao’s eyes had a faint smile: “You, you are only quiet and well-behaved when you fall asleep.”

Xiao Tianyao’s fingertips paused in the corner of Lin Chujiu’s eyes. In Xiao Tianyao’s mind, Lin Chujiu’s stubborn and indifferent eyes flashed, and his eyes darkened: “It was fine before, why did you get so angry?”

Until now, Xiao Tianyao couldn’t understand why Lin Chujiu was so unfeeling. He left her alone and let her face the danger alone, but he said that in the future… he will not try to do so.

He said that it was not he didn’t care about her, nor doesn’t value her. He explained it, but this woman didn’t seem to listen.

He even promised her a condition, any condition will do. Even if Lin Chujiu wanted the moon in the sky, he would try his best to pick it up, but this woman asked for a divorce.

Divorce, after marrying him, she wanted to leave, Lin Chujiu was simply naive. Not to mention, he recognized Lin Chujiu as his wife. Even if he didn’t like Lin Chujiu, Lin Chujiu couldn’t leave him.

After marrying him, she naturally became his person. Even if he, Xiao Tianyao, doesn’t want her, he will not give her to others.

His things, his people, would rather be destroyed than be given to others.

“If you want to leave benwang, you have only one choice, and that is—to die!” His fingertips that were pressing against Lin Chujiu’s eyebrows had the same strength as before, and his tone of speech didn’t change. However, such a calm statement sounded creepy.

Fortunately, Lin Chujiu hadn’t woken up yet and didn’t hear what Xiao Tianyao said, otherwise… …

Otherwise, she doesn’t seem to be able to do it.

Xiao Tianyao didn’t stay on the bed for too long. He quietly stared at Lin Chujiu’s sleeping face for a while, and then Xiao Tianyao got up.

Xiao Tianyao had never pushed aside important matters before. This kind of thing was not something he could do. In this unpredictable world, before a grand plan unfolded, he was not qualified to set aside important business!

After getting up, putting on his coat, and tidying up a little, Xiao Tianyao went out against the night wind.

Lin Chujiu wanted to go back to the capital, so he should prepare.

His woman came to the frontier alone to find him, how could he let her go back alone?

If Lin Chujiu goes back to the capital alone, he doesn’t know what those people in the capital with crooked eyes high above their heads will plan to do with Lin Chujiu… …
