Chapter 1329: The Smoke of War Begins

he has been the steward for so many years, and she gave your father a son."This woman's status in her husband's family wasn't good to begin with because she didn't give birth to a son. Furthermore, sh..."Dugu Cheng, can you mature a little This situation is very dangerous. If it wasn't for this, how could I..."

"You also know it's dangerous, so before you went, did you ever think about how I felt If something happened to you, would you just leave me here waiting" Dugu Cheng said angrily. Xi'er treated him like what She could go on such a dangerous mission, couldn't he

"I didn't mean that. I was just worried about you getting into trouble. You're the head of Linxi County, what would happen to them if something happened to you"

獨孤城握著風淩兮的手臂,問道,“那你呢?可有想過,你若是出事本王和婉兒該如何是好?婉兒這樣小,不能冇有娘,本王也不能冇有你這個王妃。”

"I'll be fine."

Wind Ling Xi took away Dugu City's hand, her tone firm, "This time no matter what you say, you can't go with me. If you go, you will only become a burden to me."

"If this king insists on going, then"

Dugu Cheng and Feng Lingxi argued over this, Feng Lingxi looked at him, too angry to speak.

"Are you really going to argue with me"

Faced with Feng Lingxi's questioning, Du Gucheng just looked at her. The firmness in his eyes left Feng Lingxi speechless. How could he not understand her intentions

She really didn't want to go adventuring with Dugu City. This time, it was obviously someone deliberately trying to deal with Dugu City. If he went, she didn't know what would happen to the situation in this Tu Mu Town. On the other hand, looking at Linxi County, if this place was suddenly attacked, who could guarantee its safety

"Fine, I'm not going to argue with you."

Feng Lingxi took a deep breath, "If you really want to go, I won't."

Feng Aotian heard Feng Lingxi wouldn't be going, and panicked. He hurriedly said to Dugu Cheng, "Prince Chen, the Princess is also thinking of you. This Linxi County can't function without you. You should stay here. With me here in Tumu Town, I can keep the Princess company."

"Aren't I here Don't worry, brother-in-law."

Lu Nian glanced at his younger sister. This temper was really terrible. This Dugu City is also the same, when his sister leaves, couldn't he just follow after

Why bother arguing with her Doesn't he know women can't be reasoned with

"It's better that you don't go, so as to avoid trouble."

After finishing his words, Dugu City sat down, took a sip of tea, but the anger on his face remained undiminished.

Feng Lingxi is so angry, does this Dugu City really not know what she's thinking

Dugu Cheng and Feng Lingxi had a cold war, everyone dared not speak, the atmosphere became more and more awkward. Feng Aotien wanted to persuade Dugu Cheng several times, but he didn't know how to open his mouth.

This time, it was Feng Lingxi who went to help. How did he know why Feng Lingxi insisted on stopping Dugu Cheng from going Didn't they go together last time, and they cooperated pretty well too

Why doesn't this work this time

Feng Ling was furious, and Dugu City wasn't any better. With the two of them quarreling like this, everyone around them felt uneasy too.

"If you keep going like this, the ones who suffer will be the common people of Tulǐ Town. Since it's all for the sake of the people, your brother-in-law going there is a good thing. The court can see his responsibility, and he can leave a good impression on the hearts of the people."

Lu Nian opened his mouth, seeing Dugu Cheng nod in agreement. He continued, "Anyway, there's nothing happening in Linxi County right now, and there are no wars nearby. He is the master of Linxi County. This King Chen who guards the border, if he doesn't go, if the court blames him later, wouldn't he be held accountable"

"Master Lu is right, although this journey is dangerous, if Prince Chen accompanies us, he will surely stabilize the hearts of the people in Tumu Town. Moreover, when the court learns of this, they will not blame Prince Chen for the plague in Tumu Town."

Feng Aotian also agreed, this was not surprising as he always sided with the powerful. He truly needed their help; if they didn't intervene, when the news of what happened in Tumu Town reached the emperor, his position as the General Who Protects the Nation would be lost.

Now he and the Chen Wangfu are in the same boat, he still has to find a way to make Feng Lingxi agree.

Feng Lingxi still remained silent, just watching the three of them chatter endlessly. Feng Lingxi couldn't help but wonder if she was truly wrong. Was what she thought and what Dugu Cheng thought really different

Over so many years of marriage, she had lived in this world for quite some time. From the moment she was reborn, she lived according to her own thoughts. Before, she only thought about how to protect her and Wan'er. Now, Dugu City's situation made her worry more and more, and even many times, she began to endure, becoming unlike her former self.

Now that Dugu City was so resolute in insisting on traveling with her, he was so certain that her medical skills could cure this plague. Was he truly not worried at all about contracting the plague himself

Has Dugu City ever thought about what he would do if something happened to him, and how he would explain it to Wan'er

"Xier"

Dugu Cheng watched Feng Ling Xi daydreaming. He waved his hand in front of her and called out to her several times before she came back to herself, looking at the three of them.

"What's up"

"Why aren't you speaking"

Dugu Cheng looked at Feng Lingxi like this, a little flustered. Wouldn't she really be angry

"What should I say"

Feng Ling Xi asked, "Since you disagree with what I said, there's nothing more to say."

After finishing her words, Feng Lingxi stood up and went out. Dugucheng saw her leave and immediately got up to chase after her, but he was stopped by Lu Nian.

"Just let her think about it. She may not have been thinking about what we said, and she might agree later."

This matter is of great importance and cannot be delayed. Let's prepare first and hope Xier will understand.

Dugu Cheng let out a long sigh. He wasn't afraid of the plague, he was just afraid that when Xi'er needed him most, he wouldn't be by her side. He had promised to take good care of her and protect her, he couldn't break his word.

This plague is terrifying, but as long as he can be with Xi'er, even if it’s difficult, he believes he can overcome it. He has been on the battlefield for so many years, and there is nothing he hasn't seen, but he is uniquely afraid that Xi'er needs him and he is not by her side.

He is her husband, he can't let his wife shoulder all the burden for him. All he can do is share weal and woe with her, advance and retreat together. If he can't even do this, he truly doesn't deserve to be with her.

Then I'll go prepare first. Your Highness, you and the Princess can discuss it later. As for that town of Tumul, if it's truly impossible to go there, I won't force it. I'll set off tomorrow.

Feng Aotien looked at Dugu City. This time, he was truly determined. Regardless of whether Feng Lingxi went or not, he couldn't delay any longer. The medicinal materials were purchased, and he had to go. Otherwise, if something happened in Tumuwu Town, the entire Zhen Guojian General's Mansion would be finished.

Dugu Cheng nodded, "You go first, this king will follow shortly."

Feng Aotien bid farewell to Dugu City and left first.

"Feng Aotiān is actually quite clever. He's dragged you both into this, so whether you go or not, the court will punish you. But he, he's put on a good show."

"As Xi'er said, my last trip to Tumu Town with Xi'er meant we were destined to be caught this time."

>oked at Feng Lingxi, his eyes full of joy. He thought he had seen wrong, but unexpectedly, it really was her.Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu City, her eyes showing neither shock nor joy. She just stared at...
