Chapter 1205: War Drums Beat

eated there, couldn't say a word, only hearing that the Empress still wanted Yao Hua Princess to marry the Fourth Prince. She kept her silence."Noble Consort Yun, please return first. This palace has...獨孤城看著風淩兮突然變得嚴肅的表情，連忙解釋，“本王知道，不會輕易開打。”

"Actually, I've been thinking about one thing these days."

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu City, "You said why would gunpowder be discovered by so many people Is it true that someone from my hometown appeared, or was the information stolen from there, or is it that people in this world already knew how to make it"

"This king has spent many years on the battlefield and has never heard of gunpowder. It is certainly not something known here."

Dugu City grew serious, "Xi'er, are you worried that someone deliberately made gunpowder"

"Luo Li and Li Wu Yan know something about us, he's such a smart person, I'm afraid this has something to do with him." Feng Ling Xi frowned, "He said not to touch Wan Er, but he didn't say anything about us."

Du Gu Cheng replied, "This king has been keeping an eye on him. I'll pay attention."

Feng Lingxi glanced at Dugu City, yawned, and felt a little sleepy.

"Dugu Cheng, when will I be able to talk love and romance with my man like other women do, without so many worries"

Dugu Cheng's brows furrowed at the sudden complaint. He lowered his head and looked at Feng Lingxi's wronged eyes, a tender hand reaching out to gently stroke her cheek. His tone softened considerably, "This king wants to know too, why do other women try to please their men, but you seem to always be busy with this and that, worrying about everything."

"You think I want to"

Feng Lingxi muttered, "I wish I could just ignore it, but who am I to blame Back then, I was meddling and made gunpowder for no reason."

Now that there's more and more talk about gunpowder, and with the special status of the Yao Clan's Saint Master, if she wants to stay out of it and have a sweet romance, that would be truly asking for trouble.

"Then don't worry about it. The affairs of the world can still run without you. Rest assured and be my Queen, stay by my side, and stay by Wan'er's side."

Then what's it to you

Feng Lingxi retorted, seeing him nod and take a serious expression, "I'll take care of it."

Feng Lingxi suddenly smiled, nestled in his arms, and closed her eyes.

"You said so, you take care of it."

獨孤城 hugged her shoulders, watching Feng Lingxi close her eyes. He held her even tighter.

Half an hour later, Feng Yumo returned. Dugu Cheng and Feng Lingxi were already gone. After inquiring, he learned that they had returned to their tents. Looking at the roasted mountain chicken, Feng Yumo hesitated for a moment but still sent it over.

"Xier has just gone to sleep, this is here for you. You should also get some rest."

Dugu City received the items and then let Feng Yu Mo return.

"You're so good to the princess, she's not even your own sister. Don't you have feelings for her"

Gu Li suddenly asked, Feng Yu Mo glanced at her, "What nonsense are you talking about, how could Sister not be my biological sister."

"Then you're so good to her."

Feng Yu Mo looked at Gu Li's aggrieved expression, "You don't understand. My sister takes care of me like a biological brother. Without my sister, there wouldn't be Feng Yu Mo today. So the relationship between me and my sister is something you won't understand."

Gulì bit her lip, his words made her feel like she was on fire.

Feng Yu Mo glanced at Gu Li, "I only have respect and love for my elder sister, not what you think."

"Really"

Gu Li's eyes lit up, seeing Feng Yu Mo nod, she was so excited.

Feng Yu Mo smirked, "It's getting late, you should get some rest. I have a lot to do these days."

"Then can I still go with you"

Gu Liwen's careful and tentative gaze, that of a girl blossoming in love for the first time, deepened Feng Yumo's smile at the corner of his lips.

"If you don't sleep now, you won't be able to get up tomorrow."

Gulì excitedly rushed forward and hugged Feng Yumo, saying excitedly, "Yumo, thank you."

After finishing his words, he ran away, leaving Feng Yu Mo standing there. His mind was filled with Gu Li suddenly hugging him. His heart felt like it had been struck by something, a strange feeling washing over him.

The next morning, Sun Cheng came to look for Feng Lingxi. His face was full of innocent smiles. Feng Lingxi got up and saw him, a little surprised.

"Your Highness, we've successfully made the gunpowder. When shall we depart to suppress the bandits"

Feng Lingxi, hearing about the gunpowder being made, looked at Sun Cheng's dark circles and said, "Last night you guys didn't sleep all night, were you making gunpowder"

"Your Majesty, I slept for two hours. My brothers and I take turns resting; we don't need to stay awake all night. We are all very familiar with the production of gunpowder, from south to our region."

"What about the gunpowder Let me take a look and see if it's up to standard"

Sun Cheng hurriedly took out a firework from behind and carefully handed it to the princess.

Feng Lingxi took a closer look and found that the workmanship was indeed much more refined than before.

"Your Highness, please be careful. The wires are exposed and the power is stronger than before."

Feng Lingxi looked at Sun Cheng, "Have you made any improvements"

Sun Cheng scratched his head sheepishly, “Didn’t the princess say to make it more refined I was thinking about how theirs was big and round, so I thought I’d improve it, making our gunpowder explode with even greater power and intimidate them.”

Feng Lingxi, hearing this, her eyes were full of admiration.

"Not bad, this improvement is quite suitable. You go get the gunpowder, I'll go find Dugu City and we'll meet here in a while."

Sun Cheng received praise from the princess, overjoyed like a child, and hurriedly responded by running away.

"Sister."

Feng Yu Mo in a suit of armor stepped forward, watching Sun Cheng leave, and quickly walked up, "General Sun asked you to make gunpowder"

"It's all ready, I was just about to ask your brother-in-law when we should leave."

"My brother-in-law went out early this morning, saying he wanted to check the situation on the mountain before making a plan."

Feng Lingxi heard that Dugu City had left, her brows furrowed. "Why didn't he tell me This acting on his own, what if someone finds out, wouldn't that ruin the plan"

"My brother-in-law didn't bring anyone, just him and Ye Xi. He said it was just to check the situation and he'd be back soon. Don't worry, sister."

"To do things himself, that's really not like him."

She still thought she was bringing troops up the mountain to investigate, but it turned out to be just her.

"Sister, your brother-in-law went up the mountain to relieve you of worry. Everything he does is to make sure you don't have to stress. He even told me to prepare breakfast for you before he left, saying that you slept so soundly last night that you didn't eat the meat I roasted for you."

Feng Lingxi thought about her conversation with Dugu Cheng last night. They had only said a few words, but he wouldn't really let her be like ordinary women, thinking only of romance, accompanying her husband, and being a good wife at home, would he

At the thought of that scene, Feng Lingxi frowned, very displeased. She still felt she was better suited to hard work.

"Your Majesty, the King has returned."

Ye Xi's voice came, Feng Lingxi watched Dugu Cheng and Ye Xi walk over, and hurriedly stepped forward, "Weren't you discovered"

Du Gu Cheng gently tapped her nose, a smile full of helplessness on his lips.

"Is this all I am in Xi'er's heart"

"My Queen, please don't forget, the King is a war god. Before he met you, he was a figure that struck fear into people's hearts."uspect she was the one who stole the treasure this time.""How is that possible Where did she get such skills, the Treasure Pavilion..."Before he could finish his heartfelt words, his face turned extre...
