At 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.

When he saw Li Xiao, Xu Qing was shocked.

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

Li Xiao? This person’s surname was Nangong!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

His gaze shifted slightly.

Xu Qing’s expression changed again.

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

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

No, Li–

Xu Qing was shocked.

He suddenly thought of something.

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

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

Could it be…

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

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

Heavens, these three people had actually become a family.

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

“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.

Xu Qing suppressed his thoughts and smiled.

“Madam Li, long time no see.”

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

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

A smile also appeared on Li Xiao’s face.

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

At this moment, Xu Qing felt like vomiting blood.

This person was really thick-skinned.

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

“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.

Li Xiao did not laugh this time.

“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.”

“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.”

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

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

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

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

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

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

If 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.

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

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

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

“Why did you tell him all this?”

Li Xiao looked at his wife dotingly.

“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.”

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

Xu Yan was extremely ambitious.

He 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.

The 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.

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

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

Lin Xiaoyue thought for a moment.

“No.” Sje said.

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

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

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

The battle ended too quickly and too easily..
