wardsI've always been out of favor in the General's Mansion. Before I fell seriously ill, my elder sister used to bully me. Now that she's married, she hasn't found a better husband than I have. When..."Yingliu has seen the Holy Master and reported to the Holy Master, Aman passed on the message, confirming that the Madam appeared in the Ghost Saint Country. She has already gone to the Ghost Saint Country and specially sent Yingliu to tell the Holy Master."

"Mother is really in Gui Sheng Nation." Feng Lingxi heard Ying Liu's news and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

Having news of her mother meant at least knowing where she was. She could finally breathe a sigh of relief. As long as her mother was safe, that was the best news possible. She had taken care of everything on her end with the Yao Clan, so her mother could come back anytime.

"Yingliu replied, 'Ah Man said that. But Yingliu also heard news from the clan members outside. They said that Dugu Xiu had already come here to escort Shengzhu back to Dayuan Dynasty. Shengzhu should be cautious. Additionally, Shengzhu ordered Yingliu to investigate Feng Yixuan's whereabouts. He was found in Dan Liao tribe near Yaozu three days ago, but his current whereabouts are unknown. During Shengzhu's travel, please be more careful.'"

"The Dan Liao tribe"

Feng Lingxi raised an eyebrow, "Is Li Linxi County very close"

Ying nodded, "About less than a hundred kilometers. The Dan Liao tribe has a lot of power and ambition around here. However, the Dan Liao tribe did not participate in the Four Kings' campaign this time, nor did it cause any conflict."

"In that case, this Dan Liao tribe is quite the discerning lot."

It seems that Yao Zhi failed to persuade the Dan Liao tribe to ally with him. Since the Dan Liao tribe is ambitious, they would certainly covet the Yao clan's territory. It appears that Du Gu Xiu is behind the Dan Liao tribe after all, otherwise, why would Feng Yi Xuan be there

"Yingliu, continue to monitor Feng Yi's whereabouts. Also, since the Dan Liao tribe has contacted Feng Yi, keep an eye on them. If Dugu Xiu contacts anyone from the Dan Liao tribe here, inform me immediately. Be careful and don't let them discover you."

"Yes."

Feng Lingxi finished her instructions and then took Xiao Li out. Since Duguo City was not at home, Feng Lingxi went to find Feng Yum墨 and asked him for the terrain map of this area to learn more about the Dan Liao tribe.

Although they are a tribal group, the Dan Liao tribe is the most populous in the region. Their leader has never actively provoked war, but anyone who dares to covet the Dan Liao tribe or provoke war with them will be retaliated against and eventually destroyed. They dominate the surrounding tribes.

"Sister, if Feng Yixuan is really colluding with the Dan Liao tribe and joining forces against you, don't show any mercy."

Wind Feather Ink worried, she shouldn't have saved Feng Yi Xuan back then. He's truly a dog that can't change its nature, after her sister spared him, he dared to stir up trouble again.

"I know, if he seeks his own death, I can't be blamed."

Feng Lingxi's voice was extremely cold, to Feng Yixuan, she had been patient enough.

This man does not want to live, even the gods cannot save him.

"Just take care of him here. No matter what we do for them, the General's Mansion people won't be grateful. They'd rather see us all dead. There's no need to show them any mercy."

He had seen through it, he and his sister no matter how hard they tried, would never be looked at by that person, as if they weren't his own. Since that was the case, why bother humiliating themselves, showing him kindness, hurting themselves.

"Feimo, don't worry, sister knows what to do."

Feng Yu Mo was finally at ease. Once he became stronger, even if Feng Ao Tian begged him, he wouldn't return to the General's Mansion. There wasn't anything there worth him returning for.

Dugu Cheng was back very late, Feng Lingxi had already fallen asleep. He gently lay beside her and Feng Lingxi woke up.

"Did I wake you"

Feng Ling xi shook her head, sat up, and caught a whiff of the earthy scent on him. Her brows furrowed slightly, “Just back Not even wash up”

Just finished washing up, a little tired, bath in the morning.

Feng Lingxi looked at the fatigue on his face, "Then rest early."

"No need to go out tomorrow, Xi'er. Do you want to go out and play tomorrow This king can accompany you for a walk."

Feng Lingxi thought of the Dan Liao tribe and asked, "Dugu Cheng, do you know about this Dan Liao tribe"

Dugu Cheng looked puzzled. "Why are you asking about the Dan Liao tribe Has something happened"

"Yingliu said Feng Yixuan appeared in the Dan Liao tribe three days ago. I'm worried he's cooperating with them."

"Is it Dugu Xiu"

Dugu Cheng clasped his hands over his head, leaning against the pillow, his handsome brows slightly raised. "This Dan Liao tribe isn't a troublemaking one. They dominate this area, minding their own business as long as they aren't provoked. Their power is formidable, making them one of the best tribes in the clan."

"You're saying that if the Dan Liao tribe had cooperated with Dugu Xiu, it would explain why they didn't cooperate with Yao Zhi to oppose me"

獨孤城搖了搖頭，目光落在了風淩兮身上，“這丹遼部落的首領叫耶律宏，本王與他有過一麵之緣，睿智過人，丹遼部落本來是小部落，在他的領導下，雖不主動挑起戰火，卻迅速的吞併，並且在部落族周圍獨霸一方，若真有心，周圍的那些小國也未必是他的對手。”

"If Dugu Xiu could lend him a hand, he might transform the Dan Liao tribe into the Dan Liao nation"

Dugu Cheng nodded, "This king has paid attention to him for many years. There is indeed this trend. What he lacks may only be an opportunity."

Feng Lingxi probably understood. This Dan Liao tribe and Dugu Xiu cooperated. With Dugu Xiu's current status, if they colluded secretly, Dugu Xiu became emperor and helped the Dan Liao tribe annex border tribes and small countries, this Yao clan would be their last target.

Although Yao Zhi's conditions were tempting, they were now under Empress Cen's scrutiny. If they allied with him, their intentions of rebellion would be too obvious, and it wouldn't be a wise move.

It seems we need to keep a close eye on this Dan Liao tribe, lest they turn around and bite us.

As long as the Dan Liao tribe doesn't provoke us, there's no need to confront them. The current situation is already unfavorable for us. Provoking too many enemies would make us stand out too much in the eyes of the court. Who knows what kind of trouble that might bring After all, your identity is special.

Dugu City soothed Feng Ling's agitated heart, "Leave this matter to this King. Don't act."

Windling responded, her gaze fixed on the weary handsome features of Dugu City. "It's getting late, you should rest early and talk about it tomorrow."

獨孤城 responded, embracing Feng Lingxi and falling asleep.

When dawn broke, Feng Lingxi was woken up by Dugu Cheng's restless hands. The sweet fragrance that tickled her nose made her hazy eyes clear up.

"Dugu City, don't make such a fuss early in the morning."

"Your Majesty just finished bathing, Xi'er. Shall we sleep later"

Dugu Cheng's hand moved restlessly over her body, the flames in his eyes surging upwards, making even the early spring morning feel scorching.'t know if he could hear it."Your Highness, do you think Bai Da-jia will believe your words"Little Li looked at the scarred man following behind her. He was actually quite kind to them, not spying on...
