Chapter 869 Falling Frost Flower 59

opportunity to train properly.""What name should I use from now on"Feng Lingxi looked at her, at the firmness in her eyes, and said softly, "Arsenic."Feng Lingyu heard these two words and couldn't hel..."Lord, it's been ages. You're starting to look more and more like the Fourth King every day."

Luo Li stepped forward and jokingly said, "This reminds me of the time I spent with the Yao Clan. She seemed to act this way back then as well."

Feng Lingxi smiled thinly, not reaching her eyes, and said, "Chief, it's been a long time. Your tongue isn't getting any less sharp."

"It seems the Lord is in a foul mood, speaking to me with such harshness."

There was still a degree of respect in the past, but now there's only a trace of anger in the tone.

Feng Lingxi did not refute him, but turned to look at Dugu City, "You just said that the person behind Feng Yu Xi was not Dugu Xiu, but King Su"

"Not sure yet, could be the Three Kings."

Feng Lingxi frowned. This Duguyu wasn't in the capital, could he still be causing trouble

However, they all knew of Dugu Yu's rebellious heart. Perhaps it was just a matter of time; who knows, he might rise again one day.

"These royal brothers are really ruthless, for a throne, they fight and struggle for power, is this interesting"

Luo Li sat down, while Dugu Cheng had someone bring tea. The atmosphere was a bit cold.

"Brother Lu, how is the investigation into the matter I asked you about Have you found any trace of Dugu Xiu"

"Your sixth younger brother is no ordinary person."

Luo Li drank some tea and slowly said, "A few days ago, he appeared near Linxi County. The Yao people chased after him, and he was discovered, then quickly disappeared again. After that, he appeared in Yanglin County."

Dugu Cheng frowned, "What is he doing in Yanglin County"

Feng Lingxi also followed in confusion, watching Luo Li take out an account book and throw it in front of him. "This was taken from the hands of the county magistrate of Yanglin County. You can have a look yourself."

Dugu Cheng held the ledger and flipped through it, looking at the accounts listed on it. This was not the wealth that a county magistrate should have, and furthermore, all the expenses were paid to Yun City, near Linxi County, and given to Yun City's lord, Yun Song.

This Cloud Pine is no ordinary one. The reason why the Cloud City can act with impunity there, is because of this Cloud Pine. He excels in both literature and martial arts, is exceptionally intelligent, adept at strategy, and therefore has brought about the Cloud City of today.

Loli held the ledger, pointing at the weapons being transported to Yun City. "Why does Yun Song need so many weapons And they were sent by the county magistrate of Yanglin County. If my investigation is correct, Yanglin County is the hometown of your old friends, isn't it"

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu City, "What do you think of this matter"

"Need I ask The county magistrate of Yanglin County supplied Yun Song with weapons and military supplies, according to the amounts listed above. It's likely that Yun City now has a strength comparable to a small country."

"This Cloud City's father emperor once mentioned, this king also knows about him. He and the King of Su were born-and-death good brothers, they called each other brothers. After the King of Su had an accident, he settled in Cloud City. With his family's influence, he has been leading troops to guard Cloud City, protecting the safety of the people. Every year, the court would give him military pay. Because Cloud City never sought credit, worked diligently and conscientiously, and because he was calm and low-key in Cloud City, after the King of Su had an accident, this person gradually faded from memory."

"Since this Cloud City belongs to the King of Su, this matter must be related to him."

"The King of Su is deeply hidden, if I hadn't investigated here, I wouldn't believe that the King of Su was like this, with such ability." Luoli looked at Dugu City, "Now do you understand what's going on"

"Is there evidence that King Su's legs are all right"

Dugu Cheng looked up at Luoli, his eyes a bit conflicted. This matter, it seemed, was not as simple as he had imagined.

"I have a way, but it requires the cooperation of the Four Kings."

Luo Li looked at Dugu City, her eyes holding a meaning that Feng Lingxi found intriguing. She watched Dugu City as he furrowed his brow in thought, and couldn't help but wonder what Luo Li meant by "cooperation."

"This matter, allow this King to think about it."

Feng Lingxi hearing Dugu City say this, hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, still needs to think about it carefully"

Dugu Cheng looked at Feng Ling Xi's worried eyes, wanting to speak but stopping himself. He couldn't tell Xi'er about his identity, otherwise, he would be exposed.

Luo Li watched the exchange in their eyes, a smile deepening at the corner of her lips. She took a sip of tea, moistened her throat, and continued, "The Fourth Prince only needs to accompany me on a trip."

"Accompany you on a trip, what do you mean"

Feng Lingxi looked at Luoli, "If Dugu City's identity is inconvenient, I can..."

"Your martial arts will hold me back."

Luoli interrupted Feng Lingxi without mercy, "This matter must be done silently, with no one knowing except him. No one else can cooperate with me."

Feng Lingxi, hearing this, thought of the fact that Luo Li Jiang Hu, known as 'Smiling Hell,' could cooperate with him. Shouldn't it be the owner of Tianxianglou, who is called 'Tears of a Disciple'

Feng Ling Xi's eyes narrowed as she surveyed the two of them, her gaze making Dugu Cheng frown.

"This matter can be discussed later. Right now, this king still needs to investigate one thing first."

獨孤城 looked at Luoli, "The whereabouts of Dugu Xiu must be confirmed now. Now that the Empress Dowager doesn't punish him, what happened to Luo Juzhou is aimed at this king, which means Dugu Xiu's target is this king."

Dugu Xiu's whereabouts are unknown. We will turn our attention to King Su, but such a large-scale action may cause dissatisfaction and be detrimental to us.

Dugu Cheng's words made sense, but Feng Lingxi felt that he was intentionally or unintentionally avoiding the issue of Luo Li. Moreover, it seemed like he was deliberately concealing it from her.

"This is also reasonable."

Luo Li glanced at Feng Ling Xi, "Since that's the case, then I would trouble the Holy Master to help investigate Du Gu Xiu's whereabouts. I'll keep an eye on King Su, so that we can divide our attention."

Wind Ling Xi nodded, "I'll have more people on hand to continue investigating Dugu Xiu's whereabouts. As for the Su Wang side, leave that to you guys to investigate."

After Feng Lingxi left, Dugu City finally spoke, "There are some things that it's best not to say in front of Xi'er, lest she become suspicious."

"Are you worried she knows your landlord's identity"

Dugu Cheng made no attempt to hide his feelings, he responded with a nod and carefully began to speak, "You should know, there are some things that this king cannot let Xi'er know yet."

"Don't you think it's necessary for her to live such a hard life Besides, she isn't an impulsive person. Even if you tell her, there's no harm."

"I just don't want her to know about those past things."

Dugu Cheng's words made Luo Li laugh.

"It's really stubborn, your past isn't shameful. If she knew, maybe she would love you even more."

Although I know Luo Li didn't mean it, for some reason, my heart ached.

Only some of the people around him knew how he, the master of Tianxiang Building, came to be and why he was called Shezi Lei.

"This king does not need Xier's pity, this king hopes that she can be well. The past matters, needn't be mentioned again."

Luo Li let out a light sigh, "That's right. We may seem glamorous, but only we know the heartache behind it all."ople. Feng Lingxi heard the sound and lifted the curtain of the window, watching the crowd running towards this side. Her eyes were slightly cold."What's going on Why are there so many people outside"...
