e Princess."Grandmother Liu curtsied, Feng Ling responded with a sound, and looked at Grandmother Liu's fearful eyes, "Grandmother Liu, you've worked hard these past few days. This princess will remem...Feng Ling Xi ordered Sun Fujiang to work day and night producing gunpowder, while the large army of Carro Nation was also not idle. After setting up camp for three days, they marched towards Linxi County with their troops, shouting outside the mountain valley. General Zhang, following Feng Ling Xi's orders, only defended but did not attack. Regardless of how the Carro Nation army shouted, he refused to engage in battle.

The Gallo Kingdom also learned that Dugu City was not in the city, and they were prepared to attack.

Feng Lingxi, dressed in men's attire, stood at the front, looking down at the large army of the Galo Kingdom in the valley below, calm and collected.

"General Zhang, if the Gallo Kingdom attacks with full force, use this gunpowder to blast them back and hold them at bay."

She had to stall for time, waiting for Dugu City's forces to return and support her. She lacked the military capacity to fight, and the 200,000 troops defending the city were no match for their opponents. Moreover, she couldn't allow Linxi County to fall, especially with the internal threat of Feng Yu Xi still present.

"Your Highness, this subordinate would lay down my life to defend the city and will absolutely not allow the Gallo Nation to enter."

General Zhang guarded relentlessly, Feng Lingxi knew that Dugu City had entrusted the safety of Linxi County to him. But despite General Zhang's prowess, he was not their match.

"General Zhang, if you see anything here, please notify me immediately. I'm going to check the gunpowder storage."

Feng Lingxi took Xiaoli to the gunpowder storehouse, guarding against the great danger it posed. She had to do something about it.

"Your Highness, the people tracking Third Miss have sent word. Third Miss met a mysterious person at a tavern on the street and rushed out of town. Your servant is worried that Third Miss will inform Sixth Prince. If Sixth Prince gets involved as well, we'll be in trouble."

Feng Ling's footsteps came to a halt, "You said she left the city"

Seeing Xiao Li nod, Feng Ling Xi's face fell. "It seems she really doesn't intend to come back. Send people to continue watching her whereabouts and don't let her enter the city."

After giving the order, Feng Lingxi went to the mountain cave where the gunpowder was stored. Looking at the gunpowder made throughout the night, a cold light flashed in her eyes.

"General Sun, could you possibly do me a favor"

"My Queen, please speak."

Sun Fu has been very impressed with Feng Ling Xi's abilities during this time. Her skills and composure have earned his utmost respect, making her a loyal and capable right-hand woman.

Feng Lingxi picked up a stone from the ground and drew the shape of a kite on it. This kite, however, could carry people instead of being flown in the traditional sense. After finishing the drawing, Feng Lingxi looked at Sun, the deputy general beside her, “Can you make about thirty to fifty kites like this for me”

"Your Majesty, what will you do with so many kites"

After finishing his question, Sun, the deputy general, hurriedly explained that there was no wind now, and the kite couldn't fly.

"Then you help me, and I'll teach you how to do it."

Feng Lingxi didn't want to hide what she was capable of anymore. She had to make a move now, before Gallo Country acted. She needed to stir up some trouble and slow them down.

"This subordinate will follow the arrangements made by the princess."

Wind Ling quickly ordered them to chop down trees and find materials. She needed large kites. If they truly had to fight, she could use these kites to deliver gunpowder onto the enemy's airspace, striking from above. Or, she could locate the enemy's food supplies and destroy them. Only then could they achieve a victory with fewer troops and minimize casualties.

Feng Lingxi spent half a day making the first large kite. As the soldiers looked at the kite, everyone had doubtful eyes.

"Your Highness, can this really fly people What if someone falls from the middle of the air"

"In theory, there shouldn't be any problems, and I'll also configure a batch of landing pods for you."

She had even considered, if the kite went wrong, she could make a landing bag to safely land.

"Your Highness, what is a landing bag"

All the soldiers looked at Feng Lingxi with puzzled expressions. Feng Lingxi looked back at them and explained, “It’s something that can allow you to land safely. Once it's made, you'll naturally understand.” After finishing his words, he picked up the large wind kite and walked towards the valley, saying, "I'm going to test this kite's flying ability."

“My Lady, such a dangerous task should be left to me.” General Sun hurriedly stopped her. Such a kite, if unsuccessful, would fall from such a height, and the Lady wouldn’t die but would surely be seriously injured. He couldn't let his Lady take such a risk.

Feng Lingxi looked at Sun, the deputy general, who had a look of resignation on his face, and smiled, "Deputy General Sun, are you good at controlling this kite"

Seeing him shake his head, Feng Lingxi continued, "Just watch, I've got this."

"Your Highness, are you really confident"

Xiao Li's face was full of worry. The things the Princess had done now were truly unheard of, something she had never seen before. Gunpowder and kites were things she had never even heard of. She was truly afraid that something might happen to the Princess.

"Xiao Li, you've been with me for so long, when have you ever seen me do something I wasn't sure about"

Feng Lingxi checked the ropes on her arms, walked over to the kite, grabbed onto it with both hands, and looked at Sun Fubing and Xiaoli's worried eyes. Confidently, she said, "Don't worry, this height isn't that high. Even if the kite fails, I'll be fine."

Feng Lingxi grabbed the kite and, using its force, jumped down towards the mountain valley. Xiao Li rushed after her, her heart pounding, "Your Highness..."

The kite flew out and did not fall, but was controlled by Feng Lingxi to fly steadily above the valley. It flew safely to the opposite valley, a distance of ten meters. Feng Lingxi quickly flew back and landed in front of General Sun. Looking at them hastily pulling her, the cold sweat that she had been frightened with on her forehead, Feng Lingxi's smile at the corner of her lips became even more brilliant.

It wasn't just them, Feng Lingxi's move left the soldiers guarding the valley dumbfounded. No one had ever seen such a large kite, and one that could even carry people!

"Sun, deputy general, get me thirty kites made based on this one. Make them as quickly as possible, but ensure the quality is maintained."

Wind Ling Xi instructed, with these things, it would be much easier for her to break into the enemy's food stores.

"The last general obeys your order."

Sun, the deputy general, immediately ordered someone to take care of it. Xiao Li looked at the princess, her eyes full of worry and confusion.

“Are you going to ask me again, why I can even do this” Feng Lingxi glanced at Xiao Li and, seeing her silence, said faintly, “Xiao Li, just treat me as if I wasn’t the original Feng Lingxi.”

"My Queen, I meant no disrespect. I was simply curious and did not mean to imply any suspicion towards you."

Feng Lingxi patted her shoulder and stared ahead, "No matter how you feel about me, what we need to do now is survive the siege of Gallo's 300,000 army. Even if they don't attack the city, our supplies will eventually run out. The King doesn't know when he'll return, so we must be prepared to save ourselves. Everything I'm doing now is in preparation for self-preservation."

"My Queen, I know you're doing all this to resist the 300,000 army from the Gallo Kingdom. But Your Highness, have you considered that with gunpowder, we could win a head-on battle against them"out these things."My lady, I have struck it."Xiaoli shouted excitedly, ran over and lifted the fawn up, excited like a child.Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu Cheng with a smug smirk, "How is it My people ar...
