The two of them returned to the big tent together. Li Xiao had to wait for the battle report while Lin Xiaoyue went to bed after washing up.

The next day, Lin Xiaoyue found out that the Nangong Army had killed more than 7,000 people last night and seized more than 6,000 weapons, cotton-padded clothes, and hundreds of warhorses.

In the face of such a huge harvest, the Nangong Army actually achieved zero deaths. Only twenty or so people were injured to varying degrees.

After the spoils of war were sorted out, the good ones were all kept by the Nangong Army.

The rest were sent to the imperial court’s army.

More than 6,000 cotton-padded clothes were added all of a sudden, solving the problem of many soldiers not having warm clothes to wear.

Although they were taken from the enemy, and some were stained with blood, in this cold winter, it was good to have cotton clothes to wear. Who cared about that?

The victory at Iron Gate Pass had greatly boosted the morale of the Great Yan’s army.

The soldiers at the border trusted Li Xiao and the Nangong Army even more.

In the casualty camp.

Lin Xiaoyue and Li Xiao came here together to visit the injured soldiers.

Fortunately, not many people were injured this time. Mr. Xu and two soldiers were able to take care of them.

After asking about the situation, they learned that two soldiers had one arm and half a leg cut off. Lin Xiaoyue and Li Xiao looked a little uncomfortable.

Then, he personally went to visit the two soldiers. After persuading them, he arranged for people to take good care of the two of them.

After the two of them had stabilized a little, he arranged for people to send them back to Qingshi Town.

This was what they had promised the Nangong Army before they set off.

Those who were seriously injured and unable to continue fighting would be automatically dismissed.

After that, he would leave the Nangong Army and return to Qingshi Town to live as a commoner.

Or, when he reached the age of forty, he would automatically retire and return to Qingshi Town.

Of course, soldiers who wanted to stay in the army for a long time could stay.

After the rewards were given, he would enter the imperial court’s army.

In short, Lin Xiaoyue and Li Xiao had left a final path for the Nangong Army.

The two heavily injured soldiers knew that they could no longer make contributions on the battlefield, so they chose to agree.

At this point, the matter of the Nangong Army’s retirement could be considered to have a start.

Many soldiers of the Nangong Army who were familiar with the two of them came to visit and ask about the situation when they heard the news.

After learning of their Marshal and Madam’s arrangements, the soldiers’ eyes turned red.

“Marshal and Madam have done their best for us.” Someone said.

“Yes. In the future, even if we are injured or disabled, we not afraid. We can still go back to Qingshi Town!” someone said.

“I’m not afraid even if I die! Didn’t Madam say it before? After we died, we’ll enter the Martyr’s Shrine and adopt an orphan who would continue to honor us!” Someone else said.

“For the Marshal and Madam, I’ll fight it out!”

“Let’s go all out!”

At the same time.

Xu Yan had already learned about Li Xiao and Lin Xiaoyue.

The scouts sent by Jin also brought back some information about the two of them.

“Humph, that old thing Liu Wuji, he must go against me!” Xu Yan said angrily as he swept away the things on the table.

Then, he had an idea.

“Go, spread the news that that girl is Liu Wuji’s granddaughter! Let the people of the Great Yan see what kind of god they respect!”

“Also, expose Nangong Xiao’s identity. Just say that the current Yan Country’s new ruler did not get the throne properly. Nangong Xiao colluded with Murong Xuyang and killed Nangong Zhao.”

The person who was listening was shocked.

Seeing Xu Yan looking at him with displeasure, he quickly accepted the order.

Then, he left in a hurry.

On the other side, Xu Qing was already shocked on the spot.

He had heard some incredible news.

Xu Yan glanced at Xu Qing unhappily.

“Call everyone over and adjust the upcoming battle arrangements.” He said in a deep voice.

What a good-for-nothing.

They had lost more than seven thousand men, but they hadn’t injured the enemy at all. He was about to lose all his face.

They were both disciples, but his disciple was so much worse than Liu Wuji’s.

“Yes, sir!” Xu Qing hurriedly responded and left.

In the next few days, the border was peaceful.

Although the Jin army was stationed not far away from the Great Yan, there had been no sign of them dispatching their troops.

At the same time, some strange rumors began to spread in the army.

The first was the relationship between the Marshal’s wife and the Imperial Advisor.

The second was the relationship between Li Xiao, the new emperor, and the previous emperor.

The Nangong Army soon heard the news.

Then, the news quickly reached the couple’s ears.

Xiao Yang angrily told the rumors to the couple, but the two of them did not react.

“It must be the news spread by the people of Jin to shake our morale. He is worthy of punishment!” Compared to the couple’s calmness, Xiao Yang gritted his teeth.

Lin Xiaoyue smiled and poured a glass of water for Xiao Yang.

“Don’t be angry. What people say is the truth.” She smiled.

The Imperial Advisor was her grandfather, and Emperor Yan’s death was indeed related to them..
