Bab 533: 532 A gentleman does not take what others hold dear (First update)

```

Jinwu hurried towards Yelu Yan as he emerged and whispered his report, "Khan, the Hidden Guard has informed us that Murong Ce has returned to the Houliang capital. He's mustering troops and spreading rumors about the King's wife."

"What rumors?"

Without daring to hide anything, Jinwu replied, "Murong Ce claims the King's wife is his Empress and also says it was a case of you snatching his beloved."

The specific insulting words about Yelu Yan were too vulgar to utter, and Jinwu did not dare to elaborate.

Yelu Yan snorted coldly. The day after he found Li Xianyun, he had sent missives to the states neighboring Houliang, urging them to sever all diplomatic and economic ties with it.

Whether out of fear of Khitan's mighty military or in a bid to curry favor, all the states responded with letters of agreement.
