I have no grievances with you, so why do you hate me so much Are you not Feng Yu Xi”"Hate you"Mo Bing's eyes were icy cold as he scanned her stunning features."Just you You think you're worthy of my h..."Yǔmò, don't you think your mother is quite foolish Back then when Fēng otiān treated her like that, she still trusted him."

Feng Yu Mo glanced at his elder sister and said calmly, "I just don't understand why it has to be him. Couldn't someone else help her" Even if they found him, he would be willing to help.

"That's the difference between us and our mother. She chose Feng Aotian for a reason, and he has changed a lot over the years. He's always been trying to make amends for what he owes us, even though we don't need him to."

Feng Lingxi paused when she got to this point, “Yu Mo, more friends, more paths. When you walk the rivers and lakes, have you ever heard this saying”

"Sister, I understand what you're trying to say, but I can't do it yet."

Feng Lingxi smiled, “I know, and I don’t want to force you to do something you don’t want to do. This time going on the campaign, facing is Huangfu Qingyun. Remember, don’t be rash, don’t risk your own life.”

"Sister, will he really resort to violence" Feng Yumo struggled in his eyes. "He used to like you so much, wouldn't he really turn against you like the rumors say That because you rejected him, he would lead his troops to attack Linxi County."

"I don't know about that either. Go back and have Dugu City teach you how to fight. Learn from him a lot. The Empress didn't let Dugu City go this time, I don't know if she was afraid he would regain military power or if she didn't want him to take risks."

She'd rather it be the latter, but she knew that the Empress Dowager no longer cared about Dugu City's life or death.

"Just listen to your sister, Yumo won't be impulsive."

Seeing the worry in his elder sister's eyes, Feng Yu Mo secretly vowed that he must find a way to control the military forces of the Great Yuan Dynasty this time. Now that the Empress Dowager was in charge and the emperor was seriously ill, there would surely be a power struggle within the court. He could take this opportunity to emerge victorious.

Back at Lu Mansion, Feng Lingxi took Feng Yumò to find Dugu City and told him about Feng Yumò's impending expedition. Although this imperial decree bore the emperor's jade seal, everyone knew the emperor's current predicament—this was all the empress dowager's doing.

"To be sent into battle with no title or reward, you are nothing but a pawn."

After reading the imperial decree, Lu Nian became very angry, "How could the Empress Dowager do this."

"It's always like this when setting out on a campaign. Only if you achieve a decisive victory and return in triumph will there be an award of titles." Dugu City glanced at Lu Nian, "No matter what country, it's the same. Even more so for Yu Mo, who wasn't even considered a general before."

"He's right, this time I was only brought out because I am Feng Aotian's son. There's nothing to say about it." Feng Yumò didn't have much of an opinion on Dugu City anymore. These days he had been keeping an eye on him, and it was clear that he was truly putting in effort.

He knew they were doing this to control the army of the Great Yuan Dynasty, so they would have enough strength to fight against the Yao people. He didn't make things difficult for them because, after all, their goals were the same.

"This time, Huang Xia's attack on Linxi County should be related to Xi'er refusing his marriage proposal. He used the failed betrothal as an excuse to raise troops and invade. Moreover, with Huangfu Qingyun coming to the capital, he is well aware of the current situation of the court. It is not impossible that they had planned this all along."

This is just a matter of time, and the troops of this chaotic summer morning have arrived. It goes without saying that they were well-prepared.

Huangpu Qingyun must have known you wouldn't agree to this marriage. Besides, the Emperor and Empress were too confident before, thinking they could force you into this engagement. They never expected that you would become a princess of Xigu Kingdom, so they fell for it.

Feng Ling Xi agreed with what Du Gu Cheng said. She guessed this attack on Lin Xi County was aimed at her. However, even if they attacked Lin Xi County, she and Du Gu Cheng were no longer there. With 500,000 troops, the court had already taken control. Without soldiers or power, Du Gu Cheng wouldn't be a threat. Even if Huang Fu Qing Yun captured Lin Xi County, he would still be unable to force her to marry him.

"You're acting like a beauty that brings calamity."

Lu Nian stared at Feng Lingxi, but there was not a hint of blame in his tone. He was rather relieved that Xi'er had not chosen Huangfu Qingyun back then. Otherwise, if she had become his sister-in-law, she would definitely be far worse than Dugu City.

"This Huangfu Qingyun insists on clinging to my sister. What does it have to do with her" Feng Yu Mo said unhappily. He told Lu Nian that Feng Ling Xi was a beauty that brought disaster, and he was very dissatisfied. Furthermore, even if his sister was a beauty that brought disaster, not everyone had such beauty to be called a beauty that brought disaster.

"What advice do you have"

Lu Nian looked at the silent Dugu City, "This Huangfu Qingyun, you were quite close to him back then, was his move this time real or fake"

Yu Mo led his troops out on campaign, needing only to hold back Huangfu Qingyun's forces. As for when to engage in battle, if they could delay, they would; otherwise, they would abandon the city and return.

獨孤城的言語讓所有在場的人都目瞪口呆。

“What do you mean by that, Prince Chen Do you think little of my martial arts and abilities Abandon the city What a joke! Even if I die in battle, I would never abandon the city.” Wind Feather Ink angrily rebuked him. He had been thinking about his well-being just moments ago, now he deeply regretted it.

Dugu City looked at the dissatisfaction and confusion in their eyes, and said faintly, "This is all arranged by this king. You might as well cooperate. If you are unwilling to abandon the city, then wait to be caught by him, but he will not do anything to you."

"When did you arrange this with Huangfu Qingyun"

Feng Lingxi asked, her voice laced with concern, "Could it be that they've still been in contact all these years"

"Xier, Emperor Huofeng Qingyun is not as bad as you think. He has truly been waiting for you all these years. If he couldn't wait for you, he wouldn't have turned against you and tried to kill you. This is something I didn't want to tell you, but this king is worried that Yu Mo might act recklessly on this campaign and cause trouble."

"So, you knew this would happen all along"

Dugu Cheng nodded, "The whereabouts of Yu Mo were also revealed by this king. Beside the Empress Dowager, only Wang Yu has the ability to lead troops. The other soldiers are not trusted by the Empress Dowager. She is unwilling to use the officials of the prime minister. As for this king, the Empress Dowager would never use him. Once she allows this king to go on campaign, it means that she acknowledges the imperial decree granting this king the title of Marshal of Military Horses. She will definitely not agree to this. The only remaining option is Feng Aotian, but Feng Aotian was framed and the Empress Dowager would think of his son, Feng Yi Xuan. He is currently involved in business. Feng Yi Hao has disappeared for many years, leaving only Feng Yu Mo."

Dugu City looked at Feng Yu Mo, "You have experience in marching and fighting, you've been with this king for several years, and you are General Li's disciple. You excel in every way. If the Empress Dowager knew you were back, she would definitely find a way to send you on an expedition."

"Was it you who caused Feng Aotian to break his leg"

This explanation from Dugu City caused everyone's eyes to change when they looked at him.

As it turned out, everything they had seen was orchestrated by Dugu City.

"That's not quite it. This king had such thoughts, but the prime minister acted faster."re complicated than I imagined. I can only plan for the long term."He Ming nodded and took out a letter from his bosom, handing it to Feng Lingxi."This is what the Wangye asked me to give to the Crown...
