Xu Yan looked at Liu Wuji and smiled.

“That girl and Lingshu look…look alike.” Xu Yan said as if he had thought of an old friend.

Liu Wuji was shocked.

“Back then, Lingshu gave birth to a daughter.” Then, he heard Xu Yan say.

Liu Wuji looked at Xu Yan, and his expression was no longer indifferent.

“What do you want?” He said.

Seeing Liu Wuji’s nervous expression, Xu Yan was slightly surprised, but then he smiled again.

“As expected, only the mention of Linghu can unnerve you.”

Liu Wuji did not reply, but his expression was already somewhat unfriendly.

“Don’t worry. 1 mean no harm.” Xu Yan smiled and spoke again.

Seeing Liu Wuji looking at him, Xu Yan continued, “as an old friend, I just want to remind you of something.”

Liu Wuji frowned.

“What is it?” He asked in a deep voice.

“Back then, your daughter, Linglong…”

Liu Wuji suddenly looked at Xu Yan and narrowed his eyes slightly.

He actually knew about Ling Long?

However, Xu Yan still smiled gently.

“Back then, something happened to the Zhang family, causing the whereabouts of Linglong to be unknown. After that, you searched for more than ten years, but to no avail.”

“Have you ever suspected that something was amiss with the Zhang Clan?”

“Also, could it be that someone intentionally cut off your search for Linglong?”

A dangerous look flashed across Liu Wuji’s eyes.

Seeing this, Xu Yan smiled again.

“Hehe, as expected. How could you not have noticed it? You just don’t want to believe it.”

“Unfortunately, Xiaoyue has appeared.” Xu Yan no longer called Lin Xiaoyue Madam Li, but instead called her Xiaoyue.

“With her looks and talent, anyone who has seen the Lingshu would be able to tell their relationship.”

“If I can tell, then…”

Liu Wuji’s expression turned grave as soon as he heard that.

“The incident between the Zhang Clan and Linglong is a lesson for us. Do you want to continue waiting passively this time?” Xu Yan looked at Liu Wuji again.

Liu Wuji’s pupils constricted.

“What are you trying to say?” He asked again.

Xu Yan smiled.

“Although you and Xiaoyue have come forward to lower the conditions of the peace talks by 30%, the winners are still Chu and Jin.”

“Sooner or later, there will be war between the three countries.”

Liu Wuji frowned.

He had long suspected this, but it was only a suspicion.

After all, the peace talks had just ended. Even if Chu Jin wanted to start another war, it wouldn’t be so soon.

However, Xu Yan actually said that the war might come back after spring. Chu Jin must have reached an agreement.

Was it worth it to exchange so much food and cities for a peaceful winter?

Looking at Liu Wuji’s expression, Xu Yan continued, “Emperor Yan is fatuous, incompetent, and headstrong.” After he attacked the Nangong family, he should have expected this outcome.”

“It’s too difficult for you to reverse the situation by yourself.”

Xu Yan sighed.

“Previously, I lived in seclusion in the mountains. Even though the Jin Emperor invited me many times, I didn’t respond.”

“Firstly, 1 don’t want to go against you.”

Then, Xu Yan smiled helplessly.

“Although I don’t want to admit it, I know that I’m not as good as you.”

“Secondly, the time is not right.”

“Everyone knows that the Great Yan has two divine weapons to protect the country. The Great General Wang Nangong Zhan had never lost a battle. You, the Imperial Advisor, Liu Wuji, have always been meticulous and resourceful.”

“Emperor Yan has these two divine weapons that protect the country. The

Great Yan alone is comparable to Chu and Jin.”

“Unfortunately…” Xu Yan’s eyes were filled with some sadness.

“It’s a pity that the Nangong Army was annihilated by Emperor Yan and the they escaped from the border.”

“And you…”

“With your intelligence, 1 don’t believe that you don’t know who attacked the

Zhang family and caused Linglong to be stranded outside.”

Liu Wuji’s heart sank.

Yes, he knew.

Although he had never investigated or verified it. However, the evidence pointed to Emperor Yan.

After that, he remembered that Emperor Yan had already predicted this before he attacked the Zhang family.

The Emperor knew about his relationship with Linglong, which was why he had attacked the Zhang family. He wanted to cut off this relationship and protect the Imperial Advisor’s reputation..
