nAt this distance, he could see the people on the city wall clearly under the light of the fire, but he would not be hit by the arrows.

nWhen he saw Li Xiao, Xu Qing was shocked.

nThere was nothing he could do. It was mainly because of Li Xiao’s figure and the scar on his face that was too obvious.

nLi Xiao? This person’s surname was Nangong!

nYes, Xu Qing knew or had seen Nangong Xiao before. To be precise, he had seen Nangong Xiao’s portrait.

nAfter all, he was the son of Nangong Zhan, the War God of the Great Yan, and Nangong Zhan’s top general.

nWhen he thought about how badly he had lost in today’s battle, Xu Qing suddenly felt less angry.

nSince Nangong Xiao had appeared, the people in the city should be the Nangong Army.

nThe Nangong Army was an elite troop, and the people he brought with him were indeed no match for them.

nAfter figuring this out, not only was Xu Qing no longer angry, but he even felt a little lucky.

nKnowing that Nangong Xiao and the Nangong Army had returned, they were mentally prepared. Only then could they make a more stable plan.

nHis gaze shifted slightly.

nXu Qing’s expression changed again.

nLooking at Lin Xiaoyue again, Xu Qing gritted his teeth.

nIt was really her! Madam Li! She actually came too!

nNo, Li–

nXu Qing was shocked.

nHe suddenly thought of something.

nThe people called her Madam Li because her husband’s surname was Li.

nAs for Nangong Xiao, his current alias was Li Xiao.

nCould it be…

nPreviously, his master had mentioned that the Yan Country’s Imperial Advisor was Nangong Xiao’s master.

nMadam Li had a close relationship with the Imperial Advisor of the Great Yan.

nHeavens, these three people had actually become a family.

nSo, his and his master’s enemies were all gathered together now?

n“Heh, he’s really Master Xu Yan’s disciple. Master Xu Qing, long time no see!” Lin Xiaoyue also saw Xu Qing and took a step forward.

nXu Qing suppressed his thoughts and smiled.

n“Madam Li, long time no see.”

n“1 really didn’t expect to see Madam here again today.” As he spoke, Xu Qing glanced at Li Xiao.

n“Marshal Li, you’re so lucky.” Then, he said.

nA smile also appeared on Li Xiao’s face.

n“You flatter me.” He cupped his hands at Xu Qing, accepting his blessings.

nAt this moment, Xu Qing felt like vomiting blood.

nThis person was really thick-skinned.

nHowever, Li Xiao’s answer confirmed that the two of them were really husband and wife.

n“Marshal Li indeed has the true teachings of the God of War. I am convinced that 1 have lost this battle.” Xu Qing quickly added.

nLi Xiao did not laugh this time.

n“I have been ordered to guard the border. 1 won’t let a single soldier of the enemy country go. Let’s enter the hinterland of the Great Yan.”

n“Since you are an acquaintance, please go back and inform Master Xu Yan to stop the battle as soon as possible. Also, report to the Jin Emperor and continue with the alliance agreement between the three countries.”

nXu Qing lowered his head, and a hint of mockery flashed across his face.

nStop fighting? With just a few thousand people from the Nangong Army?

nFor this expedition, they had brought 100,000 troops and even allied with the Chu army.

nEven if there were tens of thousands of Nangong soldiers, they would not be able to stop them.

n“I will definitely pass on the message.” Although he thought so, Xu Qing did not express it.

nThere was no loss in agreeing. Moreover, he was still at a disadvantage now. There was really no need to offend the other party.

nIf the Nangong Army suddenly went crazy and ran out of the city to kill him, he might not be able to bring all of them back with him.

n“Thank you.” Li Xiao cupped his hands politely.

nXu Qing also cupped his hands towards the city gate tower, turned his horse around and left.

nAfter Xu Qing left, Lin Xiaoyue looked at Li Xiao.

n“Why did you tell him all this?”

nLi Xiao looked at his wife dotingly.

n“Even if 1 don’t tell him, he will still be able to find out who I am and who the Nangong Army is. Since that’s the case, 1 might as well admit it now.”

n“In addition, do you think that Xu Yan will really give up and choose to retreat just because of my words?”

nXu Yan was extremely ambitious.

nHe had plotted for many years and even schemed against their grandfather. It would be a wonder if they would give up attacking the Great Yan just because of a few words from him.

nThe reason why he said ail these was not only to prevent him from giving up on attacking the Great Yan, but also to stimulate his ambition.

nIt made him think that he was not confident enough and wanted to make peace.

nIn this way, Xu Yan would be more confident, right?

nLin Xiaoyue thought for a moment.

n“No.” Sje said.

nOnly then did Li Xiao hold his wife’s hand and bring her down the city gate tower.

n“This is it. Next, he will be even more cautious, but his attacks will be even fiercer.”

nLin Xiaoyue listened to Li Xiao’s analysis and felt that it made sense.

nThe battle ended too quickly and too easily..
