Chapter 311: Seize the Throne (66)

taken Wan'er to the Ghost Saint Nation. Luoli is rushing there now to grab them and bring them to the Ghost Saint Nation.Feng Ling Xi's face turned as pale as a sheet, "Looks like I have to go to the...Feng Lingxi saw Dugu Cheng return with empty hands, and hurriedly asked, "Dugu Cheng, weren't you catching mountain chickens Where are the mountain chickens"

"I didn't catch any just now, might as well go fishing."

But I want to eat roast chicken.

Feng Lingxi pestered Dugu City, batting her eyelashes at him. "Can you catch me one for me" she pleaded, staring at him hopefully.

Then, I have something to tell Huangfu Qingyun.

Feng Lingxi watched as Dugu Cheng walked to Huangfu Qingyun's side. The two of them didn't know what they were saying, and Huangfu Qingyun hurriedly came up from the water, becoming much more serious.

"Xier, stay here and don't wander off. I'm going out for a bit and will be back soon."

Huangfu Qingyun unhitched the horses from the carriage and rode away. Feng Lingxi saw him leave and hurriedly asked Dugu City, "What are you two doing Why are you being so secretive"

Just met a man in black in the woods. Sent him out to deal with it.

"Black-clothed people, were they coming for me Will Huangfu Qingyun be alright going out"

Feng Lingxi's face was full of anxiety, looking at Du Gucheng with worried eyes. She grabbed him and checked him over. Seeing that he wasn't hurt, she finally relaxed.

"Ye Xi has already brought people to support us. Huangfu Qingyun's martial arts are no weaker than mine, not to mention that he is the Crown Prince of the Huansha Dynasty. He is safer going out than me. We should find a place to wait for him to come back."

Dugu City picked up a stick from the ground and stabbed it into the lake. When he pulled it out, it was a palm-sized crucian carp. Feng Lingxi was dumbfounded, excitedly saying, "Dugu City, you're too amazing! You can even do this."

Dugu Cheng handed her the fish, "Here, I'm going to tie another one."

Feng Lingxi grabbed the fish, excitedly watching Dugu Cheng tie the bait. His handsome movements made her eyes shine. Suddenly, a figure charged towards Feng Lingxi, sword raised. Feng Lingxi looked at the person's sword and screamed in fright. Suddenly, she felt a tightness around her waist, and the whole person was hugged by Dugu Cheng. With a spin, they retreated several meters away, landing to stare at the masked black-clothed man across from them.

"Quite quick to react, aren't they"

The man in black stared at Feng Lingxi, the killing intent in his eyes made Feng Lingxi unconsciously move closer to Dugu City, fearing that the man in black would suddenly attack.

I've been waiting for you.

After Dugu City finished speaking, he lowered his head to look at Xi'er's frightened eyes and soothed her, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Feng Lingxi nodded and swallowed nervously.

"Give her to me, and I'll spare your life."

"Dream."

Duguxing embraced Fenglingxi and leapt into the air. The sword in his hand flashed, attacking the cloaked figure repeatedly. Fenglingxi felt dizzy, her ears filled with the clang of metal as she was tossed about by Duguxing's light movements. She couldn't see what was happening around her. Then, with a muffled thud, blood splattered before her eyes. Duguxing landed beside her, drawing his sword. Blood gushed from the chest wound of the cloaked figure who collapsed to the ground.

"Don't look."

Du Gucheng covered her eyes. Feng Lingxi nodded. Du Gucheng let go of Xi'er and looked around.

"I didn't expect them to arrive so quickly."

Feng Lingxi saw the man in black die and hurriedly asked, "Will Huangpu Qingyun be in danger He is the Crown Prince. If something happens to him, how will we explain it to the Emperor"

He'll be fine, Yexi's people should be here soon. We'll just wait a bit longer.

Feng Lingxi responded, her voice trembling. Looking at the body of the man in black, she felt a chill run down her spine.

"My Lord."

Ye Xi led a group of people over quickly, strode forward, and saw the corpses of the men in black on the ground. She hurriedly asked, "Your Highness, are you alright"

"It's okay, what's the situation outside Did you catch Yao Feifei"

Ye Xi shook her head, "Yao Feifei didn't appear. Those caught were sent by her, and they have all been taken care of."

And what about Huangpu Qingyun Is he alright

Wind Ling Xi urgently asked, Ye Xi looked at the Queen's worried expression and truthfully said, "The Crown Prince is fine, but he has already returned to question those assassins who were caught, and asked me to meet you."

"Well then, let's just wander around here for a bit."

Huangfu Qingyun went back, he didn't want to miss the opportunity to be with Xi'er.

"Ye Xi, bring some people to catch a few mountain chickens and wild rabbits. This king wants to have a meal outside with Xi'er."

"My subordinate obeys."

Ye Xi arranged for some people to protect the prince's safety around him, and she led her men into the mountains to hunt chickens.

"Dugu City, do we really not need to go back and help Huangfu Qingyun"

Feng Lingxi was not at ease leaving Huangfu Qingyun alone, and wanted to go back.

"This is the Ahua Xia Dynasty, he's the crown prince of Ahua Xia, these are political matters. We are people of the Great Yuan Dynasty, it's inappropriate."

Wind Ling Xi listened to what Dugu City said, and it seemed to make some sense.

"I'll make you some roast chicken later. You wanted that, right Since the crisis is over, let's eat something and then go for a stroll before heading back."

"Can we ride horses back then"

Feng Lingxi's face was full of anticipation as she watched Duguo Cheng nod, her excitement was palpable.

"So happy"

Feng Lingxi nodded. "I want to ride a horse and see the scenery along the way. If it were Huangfu Qingyun, he definitely wouldn't agree. Dugucheng, you are so kind to me."

Dugu Cheng gently tapped her nose, his eyes filled with tenderness. "There's no way around it, who made me get used to being bullied by you If I don't agree, when you recover your memory, I'll have to be beaten by you."

"Nonsense, I'm not that scary."

"Come and help."

Du Gu Cheng watched her standing there, hurriedly asking her to help gather firewood. Then he built a bonfire, cleaned the fish and placed it on top to roast. Feng Ling Xi looked at his skillful movements, "Du Gu Cheng, you can still do this"

"How can someone who has been in battle not know

that you actually do, you just forgot."

Wind Ling Xi let out a soft "oh," gazing at Dugu City with one look, and smiling brightly.

"Dugu Cheng, did we used to get along like this"

Dugu Cheng thought of the past, nodding slightly. "It's just that you weren't as gentle as you are now. You used to like bullying me."

Feng Lingxi smiled sheepishly, “Then I won’t bully you anymore.”

Dugu Cheng looked at the smile on her face, "After a while I have to go back. If you stay here, we may not even have a chance to meet in the future."

"Are you leaving"

Feng Lingxi's face was full of reluctance. Seeing him nod, her heart felt as if it had been pricked by something, a little painful.

"I am the Fourth Prince of the Great Yuan Dynasty, not from the Xia Dynasty. Leaving here is only a matter of time, Xi'er, are you willing to follow me"

"I…"

Feng Lingxi looked at the expectation in Dugu City's eyes, and for a moment she didn't know how to answer him.

"Fine, I get it."

Feng Lingxi was incredibly upset, "You know what, I didn't even say anything."

“Your mother is here, your home is here, how could you leave for me What’s more, there's also Huangfu Qingyun here. If you marry him, you will be the Crown Princess, and in the future, the Empress of the Arahxia Dynasty…”

"Who said I'm going to marry Huangfu Qingyun Duguo Cheng, don't talk nonsense."

As soon as Feng Lingxi finished speaking, Dugu City asked, "Would you be willing to marry me and be my fourth princess"eyes filled with confusion. "Who gave this"獨孤城 flipped through his luggage, and saw a small piece of paper folded inside. He opened it, read the words, and hurriedly handed it to Feng Lingxi.Please le...
