expression also turned cold."When will we march"The time hasn't been set, and the Gallo Nation and Yao Clan rebels are near the Summer Heat Dynasty. They have pushed us to our limits. If we just sit...Dugu Cheng was surprised to hear that Xiaoli knew martial arts. Looking at Xi'er's determined eyes, Dugu Cheng frowned, "I have to ask Xiaoli before I let you out, otherwise, I won't feel at ease."

Feng Lingxi nodded, "Then okay, you'll ask later."

"Dugu City, let's go back to rest. You have to fight tomorrow, so you need to conserve your energy."

He didn't stay for long to rest, and she couldn't keep him company any longer. She needed a rest too; tomorrow's sulfur stones needed careful handling, no room for carelessness.

"Okay, let's go back and rest."

Finally, he could hold Xi'er to sleep. Dugucheng's face was full of happiness. Looking at Xi'er's slender body, he secretly vowed that after this battle, he would make up for Xi'er well. She was so thin, looking at her made him feel heartache.

"Xier, if we had a child, would you let it come naturally I'll protect both you and the child."

Feng Ling Xi's body stiffened slightly, looking at the expectation in Du Gu Cheng's eyes, she nodded, "Yes, if we have a child, we will keep it."

She knew that Dugu City had been searching for his mother's whereabouts all this time, under a lot of pressure. It had been so long, there was still no news of her mother, Dugu City's heart must not be feeling good either. If she refused him at this time, how much pain would he be in.

Wind Ling nestled in his arms, closing her eyes. She hadn't used contraception since the last time, and if she was pregnant, she would give birth. If not, it didn't matter; she was young anyway.

"Go to sleep."

獨孤城在她的額頭親了一下，明天還要出征，他不想讓她太累，等回來，他在好好地補償她。

He lowered his head to glance at Feng Lingxi. Seeing that she had already fallen asleep, Dugucheng's eyes were filled with heartache. She was truly exhausted and fell asleep so quickly.

Holding Xi'er in his arms, Dugu City looked satisfied.

As agreed, Dugu City organized three hundred thousand troops to provide support. Before leaving, he specifically asked Xiaoli if she knew martial arts and sparred with her a few times to confirm that she was not weak in skill. Only then did he agree to let Feng Lingxi go out to transport sulfur stones.

General Sun was also promoted to be Feng Lingxi's personal general before leaving Dugu City, protecting Feng Lingxi's safety.

Feng Lingxi led a thousand men to collect sulfur stones. Because Dugu City's army was in front, they were very safe along the way. When they reached Shilipo, they began work. Feng Lingxi taught the soldiers how to find sulfur stones and let them load the carts, trying to bring back all the sulfur stones nearby.

Feng Lingxi was leading Xiao Li to inspect the stones on the hilltops near Shilipo. They found that there were quite a few sulfurous stones in Shilipo, but most of the hillsides nearby had grass covering them, so some sulfurous stones might be hidden and unknown.

"Your Highness, please don't wander off. Although there are no people nearby, you still have to be careful."

Sun, the deputy general, cautioned with a worried frown. He watched as the princess searched everywhere. Recalling the instructions given by the king, he became even more cautious.

"General Sun, is there a lake nearby"

"The Queen asked, 'What is this for'"

Feng Ling swept her gaze around, recalling that the sulfur stones were said to be formed in relation to volcanic eruptions. She wondered if there was a nearby volcano, and if there were any lakes or similar bodies of water near the crater. She needed to confirm this; they weren't far from Linxi County, so she had to make sure their location was safe.

"Your Highness, there is a cliff on the mountainside, and below it lies a lake. Please do not go near that area if you have nothing to do, Your Highness, as it is dangerous."

Feng Lingxi looked at where Sun, the deputy general, was pointing. The cliff, the lake... If her guess was right, there must be a volcano nearby, but where exactly

"Deputy General Sun, could you please take me to the cliff I want to see where the lake is."

Sun, the deputy general, heard these words from the princess and was so frightened that he immediately knelt down. "Princess, please don't scare me, I am duty-bound to protect your safety. How can I allow you to take such a risk This cliff is incredibly dangerous, I absolutely cannot let you near it."

Wind Ling Xi heard Sun's deputy general's words and quickly explained, "I just wanted to see if there were any volcanoes nearby because the appearance of sulfur stones is related to volcanoes. You said there are lakes and cliffs, so I wanted to know if there are also volcanoes. If there really are, I want to find the location of the volcano."

"Your Majesty, what is a volcano"

General Sun was completely confused, he didn't understand what Feng Lingxi was talking about at all. Feng Lingxi looked at his bewildered expression and felt very frustrated. How could she possibly explain the volcano clearly

"It's a very dangerous place, I have to find it. Shilitupo is close to Linxi County. If there really is a volcano, at least let me know if it's an active volcano or an extinct one, you understand"

"Madam, and Little Li, do you understand"

Xiao Li shook her head, and she and Sun's deputy stared blankly at Feng Ling Xi. Feng Ling Xi felt like she wanted to bang her chest and stomp her feet.

"This is where it gets dangerous, I need to check it out, you understand"

"A dangerous place"

Xiaoli saw that the Princess was so angry she could hardly speak. She hurriedly asked, "Princess, where is that place"

“I just don’t know why I have to look for it, and I still have to find it. If I can’t find it, the consequences will be dangerous.”

Feng Lingxi looked at them, “If we let such a big danger lurk around us without looking for it, once the danger comes, there will be no escape.”

Sun the deputy general and Xiao Li looked at each other, they now understood, it was here that there was a very dangerous place, the princess wanted to find out.

"Your Highness, this humble servant will take you there at once."

Feng Lingxi responded and finally made it clear. It's truly tiring.

General Sun brought Feng Lingxi to the edge of the cliff. Feng Lingxi looked down at the bottomless abyss, with a dense undergrowth below, and couldn't tell how deep it was. At the bottom of the cliff, a large lake could be seen, but it was some distance away from the edge. It was located in the middle of the cliff.

Feng Lingxi observed the area for a while, but couldn't find the supposed crater anywhere.

"Isn't he here"

Feng Lingxi followed the edge of the cliff and looked out into the distance. After the volcanic eruption, how far would these rocks have rolled down

"Your Highness, did you see it"

Xiao Li and Sun, the deputy general, looked at each other for a long time. They weren't sure if the princess had noticed. The edge of this cliff was truly dangerous.

"Not found, maybe it's not nearby."

Feng Lingxi turned around, "Let's go back first, and I'll think it over carefully."

Xiao Li followed the princess, and the three returned to the sulfur stone. They saw soldiers lying on the ground in all directions. The three looked at each other and hurried over. Looking at the bloodstains, these soldiers had been killed just now, and they were all killed by a single arrow.

"Your Highness, run! There's an ambush!"

Sun, the deputy general, shouted loudly and hurriedly protected Feng Lingxi behind him. He looked around, and from the slope in the distance, a group of black-clad men emerged, each holding bows and arrows and walking towards them. the old lady interrupted, "Quickly go call Wan'er for me. I've arrived, but I haven't even seen my granddaughter yet.""Mother, it wasn't just..."Mrs. Lu swallowed the words that were about to come ou...
