nXiao Yang looked at Lin Xiaoyue in disbelief.

nA look of “No way? You still want to admit it?”.

nThe truth was the truth, and they couldn’t let anyone know.

nLin Xiaoyue was amused.

nShe turned back to look at Li Xiao, then at Xiao Yang.

n“Then you should help explain. Tell them that I am indeed the Imperial Advisor’s granddaughter, but that is because my mother is his adopted daughter.”

n“In addition, the current Emperor’s throne was passed down personally by the previous Emperor, so it’s justified. The previous Emperor has already personally vindicated the Nangong family’s crimes, so there’s no conspiracy to speak of.”

n“As for Li Xiao…” Lin Xiaoyue said as she looked at Li Xiao.

n“Who said he’s Nangong Xiao? He’s clearly the second adopted son of the Great General King and Nangong Xiao’s adopted younger brother.”

nXiao Yang was shocked.

nHe looked at his cousin-in-law in disbelief.

nShe already thought of everything?

nLi Xiao also spoke.

n“Just do as your sister-in-law says.”

n“Also, inform the soldiers to be wary of the spies from Jin who will ruin the morale of the Great Yan.”

n“The enemy’s words cannot be trusted. If there are any more rumors in the army, they will be punished by military law!”

nXiao Yang’s body trembled.

nHe picked up the teacup and drank all the water in it.

n“Yes!” He nodded and left in large strides.

nLin Xiaoyue turned around and smiled at Li Xiao.

nThey didn’t know how to get rid of their relationship with the Nangong family, but Xu Yan gave them a chance.

nHumph, if you want to scheme against them, why don’t you take a look at who’s in charge in the Great Yan?

nWho was the Great Yan targeting now?

nWith Xiao Yang’s information, the news quickly spread throughout the army.

nThe Nangong Army all knew that their marshal was Nangong Xiao, but no one refuted him.

nThe marshal had wholeheartedly brought them into seclusion, so they were happy to have a path of retreat like Qingshi Town. They wouldn’t tear down their marshal’s platform.

nAs for the other news, it was whatever Commandant Xiao said.

nNot to mention that their Madam was only the Imperial Advisor’s god-granddaughter, even if she was his biological granddaughter, there was nothing unacceptable about it.

nThey even felt that their Madam should be the Imperial Advisor’s biological granddaughter.

nIf she wasn’t his bloodline, how could she be so intelligent?

nOf course, it was fine if they knew about this in their hearts. The opinions of others were not important.

nThere was no problem with the Nangong Army. As for the imperial court army, they quickly accepted Xiao Yang’s explanation.

nThis rumor was obviously spread by the spies of Jin to shake their morale.

nIf they believed it, they would fall into their trap.

nThe Imperial Advisor, the Marshal, and the Marshal’s wife were all the pillars of the Great Yan. How could they be destroyed by the rumors of the enemy?

nThus, the rumors that had been spreading in the Yan army were quickly destroyed.

nA few days later, Murong Xuyang personally issued an edict to refute the rumors according to Lin Xiaoyue’s words.

nAt that time, under the pressure of the Jin army, the people of the Great Yan quickly accepted this statement.

nThe hidden danger buried in their hearts was actually removed in such a way.

nIn the tent of the Jin army.

nWhen Xu Yan heard the news from his subordinate, he was so angry that he almost smashed something again.

nDuring this period of time, he had launched another three surprise attacks on the Great Yan.

nHowever, none of them succeeded.

nNot only did he not succeed, he was injured every time.

nUnder such circumstances, he originally wanted to ally with Chu to send out troops.

nHowever, Chu rejected him.

nThey also said that Jin was the main force attacking Yan and that they were only cooperating.

nAlso, if Jin could not take down Yan’s main city within ten days, Chu would have to consider withdrawing their troops.

nNow, not only was Chu forcing him, but the Jin Emperor had also sent a messenger.

nThey said that the national treasury was in a hurry and asked him to attack the city quickly.

nHe also said that if the battle opportunity was not suitable, he would withdraw his army.

nRetreat? After losing nearly 20,000 troops, he was going to retreat?

nMoreover, since the army had set out, their rations and supplies had been severely depleted.

nIf he retreated now, he could imagine how the courtiers of Jin would attack him when he returned.

nEven if the Jin Emperor trusted him, he might not have the chance to command weapons in the future.

nHe could not retreat…

nThinking of this, Xu Yan forced himself to calm down.

nHe took out the military map and quickly checked it.

nLi Xiao had rich battle experience. With him guarding the border, it would be very difficult for him to take down a city.

nUnless they had an absolute advantage in military strength and concentrated their forces to attack.

nIn this way, even if Li Xiao and the Nangong Army had the ability to reach the heavens, they would still be able to stop him.

nNow, as long as he took down a city, the Imperial Court of Yan and Jin would relent. At the very least, they would not force him anymore..
