Chapter 718: Yao's Chaos 88

Luoli."Have his words been investigated""You're talking about him, aren't you"Luo Li’s eyes caught sight of the man brought in. He was about the same age as her. When the man saw what she called her c...On the first day of the second month, Feng Lingxi had just returned to the Linxi County Lord's Mansion when she received an imperial edict from the capital. Empress Dowager Cen issued an edict, ordering her to return to the capital immediately. The military power of 500,000 troops in Linxi County was handed over to Dugu Xiu to manage.

Dugu Xiu also arrived at the City Lord's Mansion with Feng Lingxi. Holding the Emperor's edict in his hand, he smiled at Dugu City. That look of absolute victory made Dugu City displeased. He had just quelled the chaos surrounding them, and now the imperial court came to take away his military power, clearly testing him.

"Congratulations, Fourth Brother. You have quelled all the bandits in your vicinity this past period. You truly are the War God of our dynasty. Now that the war is settled, the Emperor has ordered you to return to the capital. Please hand over your military talisman, Fourth Brother. I will take charge of it for you."

Dugu Cheng sat at the top, expressionless. He seemed to have not heard Dugu Xiu's words. Dugu Xiu took out the imperial edict and hadn't even begun to read it when a figure swiftly snatched it from Dugu Xiu's hand. Dugu Xiu couldn't react in time. After being robbed, he angrily glared at Dugu Cheng, his eyes filled with fury.

"Fourth Brother, are you trying to defy the imperial decree The emperor has ordered you to return to the capital immediately and hand over your military command..."

Dugu Cheng's cold eyes swept over Dugu Xiu, his gaze even colder. "This king has said it before, military power will not be handed over."

"This is open defiance of the imperial order."

Dugu Xiu angrily pointed at Dugu Cheng, his hand waving, the soldiers behind him drew their swords and surrounded Dugu Cheng.

Such a scene did not make Dugu City feel fear. He coldly scanned the soldiers behind Dugu Xiu.

"Does the Sixth Prince think he can act so arrogantly in my lord's manor, truly believing I am easy to bully"

With a wave of his hand, Dugu City brought forth a cacophony of footsteps, quickly surrounding Dugu Xiu.

Dugu Xiu never expected Dugu Cheng to do this. He pointed at him, his eyes bloodshot.

"Fourth Brother, are you trying to rebel"

"The Sixth Prince conspired with Yelu Hong, the leader of the Dan Liao tribe, and captured him. He then brought him back to the capital to be judged by the Emperor."

Upon hearing Du Gu Cheng's words, Du Gu Xiu panicked. He looked at the approaching soldiers and drew his sword, pointing it at Du Gu Cheng. "Fourth brother, this king had no idea about any Dan Liao tribe..."

"Sixth Prince, you know best what you've done. Your accomplices will be caught soon. If you have anything to say, go back and explain it to the Emperor yourself. As for this imperial decree, I will return to the capital and explain it to the Emperor personally."

Dugu City drew his sword, and the scene was filled with flashes of blade light. Dugu Xiu's sword was knocked out of his hand by Dugu City, who then held his own sword to Dugu Xiu's throat, its cold light piercing the night. Ye Xi hurried forward and subdued Dugu Xiu, and all of Dugu Xiu's men were also taken down.

"Fourth Brother, you slander me so blatantly. It's clear you have long plotted to rebel! I will return and inform Mother Empress of the truth, and request she punish you severely."

"The Sixth Prince probably doesn't know, you came here because of the Empress Dowager's message to me. The Empress Dowager already knows your intentions and didn't expose you in the capital. She only wants to find evidence of your treason."

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu Xiu, the coldness in her eyes made Dugu Xiu seem to understand something.

"You're lying! I am the emperor's own son, how could she..."

"Lord Six, don't you know what you have done Even the Empress Dowager won't be able to protect you, let alone if the late Emperor were still alive."

Feng Lingxi's words made Dugu Xiu furious. He glared at her and said, "Feng Lingxi, do you think this king is afraid of you Let me tell you, Feng Yixuan will never let you go."

"Sixth Brother, perhaps you should go to prison and ask Feng Yixuan. The two of you could discuss things and figure out what the problem really is."

Du Gu Cheng's words made Du Gu Xiu's face turn ashen. Feng Yi Xuan was caught, no wonder he couldn't get in touch with him.

But how could Dugu City know they had all arrived, and he had just arrived in Linxi County.

"Feng Lingxi, Feng Yixuan is your younger brother. If you kill him, can your father spare you"

Dugu Xiu grinned ominously. Feng Ling Xi walked up to him, pinched his chin and stuffed a pill into his mouth. Dugu Xiu was forced to swallow it, then glared at Feng Ling Xi, "What did you give this king"

"Sixth Prince, it's best if you just mind your own business. Here, I am the Saint Lord of the Yao Clan. Sixth Prince, you are well aware of my abilities. It's best not to provoke me, or I might lose control."

Feng Ling Xi's cold eyes swept over, "Take him down and guard him well."

Dugu Cheng looked at Xi'er's anger, knowing that what Dugu Xiu had just said had angered her. This Feng Yixuan and her siblings' relationship made Xi'er furious. If it weren't for this relationship, Feng Yixuan would have probably been killed by Xi'er long ago.

"Xier, Feng Yi Xuan wants to stay"

Feng Lingxi took out a pill, a murderous intent flashing in her eyes. "No mercy," she said coldly. "He's already here to kill me. If I let him live, I'll only be asking for trouble."

Feng Yixuan tried to kill her three or five times. If he let him go, the next time he wouldn't be caught, or something unexpected happened, she would be the one who died.

After she descended the mountain, the Yaozhu people kept an eye on Feng Yixuan. They learned that he was staying at an inn in Linxi County and had ambushed several highly skilled assassins along her route back to the city with the intention of killing her. The Yaozhu people informed both her and Feng Yuemo. Dugu Cheng then instructed someone to capture Feng Yixuan at that location. If not for this, she wouldn't be able to stand here unharmed today.

Feng Yi Xuan sought his own death, so don't blame him for being ruthless.

Dugu Cheng snatched the pill from her hand, "Let Ye Xi handle this."

Feng Lingxi refused, taking the pills back. “During this New Year period, my hands haven't been very clean either. Doesn't he think I'm afraid to kill him Let him see clearly, it's not that I'm afraid, but that I've given him every chance to live.”

Holding the pills, he walked towards the cell. Dugu City quickly followed, but was stopped by Ye Xi.

"My Lord, I'll accompany the Lady to make arrangements. Please handle the matters behind and keep everything confidential."

Xiao Li followed the princess into the prison. The prison in Xining County didn't hold any prisoners. All the people and soldiers here supported them, except for Feng Yixuan and Dugu Xiu. There was no one else here.

Feng Lingxi's arrival caused Feng Yixuan, who was in the cell, to jump up, wishing he could rush over and kill her.

"Feng Yixuan, it's good to see you again."

Feng Lingxi walked to the cell door and looked at Feng Yixuan, whose eyes were bloodshot. "I really don't understand, why do you want to kill me so much Do I owe your brother and sister, or do your brother and sister owe me Do I need to list them one by one"

"Feng Lingxi, you vile woman, I, Feng Yixuan, will kill you. You are going to die."

Feng Yixuan's eyes turned bloodshot with rage, his ferocious expression earning him a white glare from Feng Lingxi. "Since you put it that way," she said, "I'll give you a chance to kill me now. If you can, I'll admit defeat. If you can't, then it's your death."

Little Li heard the princess say this, and hurriedly protected the princess behind her, “Princess, what are you going to do”ovoke the Great Elder, and he wasn't willing to take that risk.Furthermore, this water spirit often stirs up trouble for Feng Lingxi.
