he kept Feng Yixuan as a last resort, to expose Duguxiu in the end.Just not sure if it will be useful at the time.After finishing those tasks and returning to the front hall, Dugu City was still discu..."Go to the gunpowder storehouse."

Feng Lingxi, dressed in men's clothing, left with Sun, the deputy general, heading straight for the gunpowder depot.

She needs to check the gunpowder in the arsenal, see if it's gotten damp over these past few months and if that would affect the explosion.

If Feng Aotian really doesn't repent and even kills his mother, she will blow him up with gunpowder at that time, so as not to hurt her mother.

Yao Wan'ying arrived at the hall. Upon seeing her, Feng Aotian was shocked and stood up, quickly walking towards Yao Wan'ying.

"It's you."

Feng Aotian's eyes widened in disbelief, afraid that he would blink and miss it.

Yao Wan-ying gave her a cold look. "What Are you disappointed that I'm still alive"

Feng Aotien hurriedly said, "No no no, Wan Ying, I don't mean that. Seeing you are still alive, I am really happy. I heard they say Xi'er was followed by a woman who looked very much like her, so I came to have a look, and it turns out it really is you."

Yao Wanting looked at Feng Aotiān's joyful face and let out a cold snort.

Enough talk, I have one question for you: When you attack Linxi County, are you serious

Feng Aotiān’s smile disappeared from his face, he looked at Yao Wan'ying, his expression was embarrassed.

"Wanying, I am not in control of my own destiny. I don't want to attack Linxi County, but the emperor's orders are difficult to disobey..."

"The emperor's orders are hard to disobey" Yao WanYing glared at him coldly, "So, you're even willing to kill your own daughter"

Feng Aotian hurriedly explained, "Wan Ying, I didn't want to kill Xi'er. I came here just to persuade her to surrender. I will plead for her and save her life..."

"Tsk!"

Yao Wan Ying couldn't bear it anymore. Looking at Feng Ao Tian's embarrassed expression, she truly didn't know how she could have gone blind and fallen for a man like this.

For his own power and status, he even wouldn't spare his own daughter. What face does such a man have to say such things to her

"Feng Aotiān, don't forget, Xi'er still has the charge of being poisoned by the current emperor who you are loyal to, planted on her. She hasn't been cleared of that. If she submits, she will surely die. You really can say such things! For your power and status, you even want to harm my daughter."

Yao WanYing pointed at him, "Get out of here, or I'll be rude to you."

She had imagined Feng Aotien saying all sorts of things, but she never expected to hear none of them. Instead, she heard the very things she didn't want to hear.

Feng Aotian wanted to step forward, but Yao Wan'ying drew her sword and placed it at his neck, shouting fiercely, "Guards, take him away from me and don't allow him to set foot here."

The soldiers surrounded Feng Aotian, making a gesture towards him.

"General Feng, please."

Feng Aotien looked at Yao Wan Ying's excited emotions and sighed.

"Wan Ying, think carefully about what I said. Where is Xi'er I want to see her."

"You have no qualifications."

Yao Wan Ying glared at him, "If you don't get out of here, I'll tie you up and throw you out."

Feng Aotien was being escorted out, and as he looked at Xiao Li guarding the door, he hurriedly spoke, "Xiao Li, where's Xi'er I want to see her."

Xiao Li's eyes turned cold, "General Feng, it's best if you return. The Princess is too busy to see you, and she wouldn't want to."

"Xiao Li, you are not Xi'er. How do you know Xi'er doesn't want to see me Besides, I have important business to discuss with Xi'er."

Feng Aotian's expression was cold, his gaze fixed on Xiao Li with evident displeasure.

Xiao Li let out a cold snort. "Does the Wind General intend to persuade the Princess Consort to submit to the court, awaiting the court's bestowal of three feet of white silk before surrendering Zi Xing"

Feng Aotian was taken aback by Xiaoli's words. It turned out that Xi'er really had the purple star that everyone in the world desired. Then Wan Ying wasn't their so-called Yaozu Saint Master

"Is Wan Ying the Holy Lord of the Yao Clan"

Xiao Li heard his words, the coldness at the corner of her lips deepened.

"Farewell."

Feng Aotian watched Xiaoli's leaving figure, remorseful to the extreme.

He only just now found out about Wan Ying's true identity. The world-renowned treasure of the Yao Clan was right beside him all along, and he had been completely oblivious. He really was…

Feng Ao, with weather-beaten anger, banged his forehead and quickly left.

Feng Lingxi had just finished checking the gunpowder in the ammunition depot, confirming that it was dry. As soon as he came out, he saw Xiao Li striding towards him with an imposing air.

"He left"

Xiao Li's qi was straight and her teeth were gritted.

“My Queen, do you know what he told the Lady He actually asked you to submit to the imperial court, not even caring about your life or death. On his lips, he said such sweet words to the Lady, promising to plead for you after you submitted. Does he even know if he can get you a pardon”

Feng Lingxi heard Xiaoli's complaint, and a fire ignited in her heart.

"This is the person Mother loved too much."

Now she's nothing, and with such a charge against her, Feng Aotian probably sees her as a plague. To put it nicely, he wants her to submit; in reality, he wants her to commit suicide and atone.

This is her biological father. He has always acted only in his own self-interest and never considered her as his daughter at all.

"The mistress is half dead with anger, and the slave girl is angry too."

Xiao Li looked at the sadness in the Queen's eyes and quickly said, "Your Highness, we absolutely cannot surrender. Dugu Yan will not let you go."

Feng Lingxi looked at Xiaoli, a coldness flashing in her eyes.

"Who said I have to surrender We both have 300,000 troops. Why would I think I'd lose to him Besides, even if I wasn't his match, I wouldn't admit defeat so easily." She could die, but that was nothing compared to the lives of these 300,000 soldiers. Dugu Yan definitely wouldn't let them go.

"This servant would even give their life to protect the safety of the Princess. This time, we absolutely cannot lose to them."

Feng Lingxi tapped her forehead. "Who said you had to throw your life away If it really came down to a fight to the death, could we possibly lose to them"

Looking at the gunpowder storehouse, Xiao Li was surprised, "Your Highness, are you planning to use gunpowder"

"Depending on the situation, I wouldn't want to reveal too much unless absolutely necessary."

If this gunpowder were to be exposed, the scrutiny that would follow would only increase. Greed is human nature, and she wouldn't want to use the gunpowder unless absolutely necessary.

"Go get some Jiangzi noodles, and have the horse pull a cart of them."

Feng Lingxi took Xiao Li away, and as soon as they returned, they heard the soldiers discussing the latest news. Feng Aotiān's army was heading towards Linxi County, moving slowly but estimated to be stationed outside the city, likely to start a battle tomorrow.

Feng Lingxi found her mother and called upon all the generals to discuss strategy, preparing for war.

As the battle in Linxi County was imminent, Dugu City rested for a day on his journey and arrived fifty miles outside Linxi County. He learned that Feng Aotian had clashed with forces in Linxi County and immediately led his army to provide support.

As they neared Linxi County, Dugu City saw Feng Aotiān's army camped outside the city. The fighting had ceased, and the reason was unknown.

"Your Majesty, a report from Linxi County: the Crown Princess successfully stopped the imperial army led by Rao He Dao from attacking the city."

On hearing the good news, Dugu City finally broke into a smile after his tightly clenched face.

"Report, frontline report, Feng Aotian's army, tens of thousands of horses, all diarrhea during the night and can't stand up, heavy losses, already cease fire." please don't involve her in your plans.""What's the plan"Luo Li looked at Dugu City, "Our Ghost Saint Kingdom doesn't have any plans over there, we just want to confirm some things. If you don't beli...
