wasn't like her usual style at all.Moreover, Feng Aotian needed her and Dugu City to speak for him, but there was no response so far. This really made her feel that the silence was excessive."Your Ma..."Of course, she's with the Prince. You haven't seen them standing together They have so much to talk about, it's really strange. When did the Chief become so close to the Prince"

When Xiao Li said this, her voice was laced with sarcasm.

"I don't mind, you're still jealous."

Feng Lingxi smiled, looking at Xiaoli's dissatisfied eyes, as if her man had been snatched away.

Little Li pouted, "I just think that the chieftain suddenly talks to the prince a lot more than before. It's so different from when I first met them, it feels like the chieftain stole your man, just like the prince is with another woman."

Pff...

Feng Lingxi was amused by Xiaoli's words, "Perhaps they have something to discuss Let's not dwell on this, it's good that they're fine."

Seeing that the Princess Consort was so at ease, Xiaoli didn't have much to say either.

Du Gucheng and Luo Li left the city. Their destination was a county town a hundred miles away. They had received news during the day that bandits were planning to rob the nearby county town, so they were sent there to handle it.

Such a thing shouldn't have fallen to Dugu Cheng, but for some reason, today both Empress Cen and Dugu Xiu specifically told Dugu Cheng to do it, as if they wanted to distract them. Knowing that Dugu Cheng had recovered his memory, Dugu Su originally wanted to accuse Dugu Cheng, but she held back and changed her mind, letting him off the hook as Dugu Cheng had expected.

Dugu Cheng didn't mention the Yao Clan's main residence. Empress Cen and Dugu Xiu seemed unaware of it, and with Dugu Su remaining silent, the atmosphere became strange. It passed like that, and because of this, Dugu Cheng was even more certain that all of this was Dugu Su's doing.

Dugu Cheng originally intended to hint to Cen Taihou about today's events, but he didn't expect Dugu Su to keep bringing up the matter of Huan Yue's miscarriage. He had no opportunity to speak, and with Dugu Yu's entry into the capital, Dugu Cheng put aside his thoughts and was instead dispatched out of the city to quell bandits.

"Speaking of which, this Dugu Su is truly cunning."

Luo Li and Dugu City rode side by side, their army following behind them. Ahead lay their destination, a place where they could set an ambush.

Dugu Cheng looked ahead, although the cold wind was biting, he didn't feel cold at all. Today's events made it clear that Dugu Su already had murderous intent towards him. His recovery of his memory had already posed a threat to him.

"Your Majesty, I feel like we've come here just to eat the Northwest Wind tonight."

"You mean there aren't any bandits at all"

Luo Li thought for a moment, and it seemed like she understood something.

"It's out, even without bandits, I have to carry on tonight, or else it wouldn't be interesting."

"There are no bandits, but there are assassins."

As soon as Duguyan's voice fell, many figures in black clothes suddenly appeared around them. Someone shouted, "There is an assassin!"

Immediately, the sound of fighting erupted. Dugu City and Luoli were attacked by figures in black. Their target seemed to be only Dugu City; they showed no intention of harming Luoli. These people possessed formidable martial arts skills and struck ruthlessly, aiming for vital points, clearly intent on killing Dugu City.

Dugu City fought back, engaging them in a fierce battle. Luo Li watched from the side, making no move to intervene.

These men in black seemed to ignore Luoli. Seeing Luoli remained inactive, more and more of them attacked Dugu City. A dozen or so men in black all went after his vital points.

Although their martial arts skills were not weak, they couldn't kill Dugu City. However, Dugu City let them off easy, intentionally letting himself be struck by a sword, cutting his arm and injuring his left hand.

"Three watch to, Yama arrives, congratulations you all, it's time for your journey."

Luo Li, lost in thought, suddenly narrowed her eyes. She drew a soft sword from her waist, moving like the wind. Her blade flashed, and dozens of black-clad figures fell to the ground instantly. Blood stained Luo Li's soft sword, which she wiped clean before sheathing it again.

"Why would you hurt yourself"

Dugu Cheng watched as the men in black were all wiped out, and he ordered in a low voice, “Search them, see if there are any clues.”

Luo Li squatted beside him, tending to his wounds.

"If not, wouldn't this king have come here for nothing tonight"

"You're right to some extent, but with you doing this, I'll have to do it again tonight."

Luo Li looked at Du Gu Cheng, "Obviously, you shed tears more intensely."

Dugu Cheng's lips twitched slightly. Faced with Luo Li's sigh of helplessness, he didn't say a word. Who was stronger didn't matter to him. Even if he was stronger, he still had to take the knife. Luo Li, on the other hand, didn't.

"There's another good show tomorrow."

Dugu City looked at the wound on his arm, "This time they wanted to kill this king."

"Aren't they just trying to see if you're the owner of Tianxianglou, the assassin Shezi Lei of the martial arts world They're fools, being with me, they would figure it out."

Luo Li helplessly shook her head, "Fool."

"My lord, I found this."

The soldier handed the found token to Dugu City. Looking at the swastika on the token, Dugu City's face was full of shock, and even Luo Li was frightened.

"This token, Your Majesty, I believe it belongs to the Yao Clan"

"No."

"Luo Li affirmed, "The Yao Clan wouldn't use this token. The Yao Clan's assassins all have marks, no tokens. Now, I begin to suspect that even the assassins of the Yao Clan might be starting to impersonate others."

“You mean these people are doing bad things under the guise of being Yao tribe killers”

Luo Li's eyes turned cold. "I didn't expect them to dare to plot against the Yao clan even though I'm supposedly dead."

Dugu Cheng grasped his wrist, signaling him to remain calm. After all, with so many soldiers watching, who could guarantee there weren't spies here

After bandaging his wounds, Dugu Cheng and the others set up camp in place. They waited all night according to the tip-off, but they didn't see any bandits. Dugu Cheng was even more certain that the bandit suppression was fake, and the real intention was to take this opportunity to get rid of him.

When dawn broke, Dugu City returned to the Yao Clan's main residence. Feng Lingxi watched them come back, noticing the bloodstains on Dugu City's arm, she rushed forward, "You're hurt"

Yesterday someone assassinated him, he got stabbed in the arm.

Luo Li looked at Feng Ling Xi's nervous eyes, "Intentional."

Feng Lingxi was stunned for a moment, seeing Du Gucheng nod, "Go back to your room and change your clothes first. I'll tell you later."

On his way back, Dugu Cheng told Feng Lingxi everything that happened last night. After hearing this, Feng Lingxi was also surprised. When did the assassins of Yao Clan attack Dugu Cheng She had already cleaned them up. There was no doubt about it, these assassins with the Manji token were all imposters.

"I immediately dispatched people to investigate this matter. The Yao Clan assassins definitely did not have any tokens."

"Luo Li has already said, Xi'er, you have to be careful. I'm worried these people are targeting both me and you. I can protect myself, but you..."

He was truly afraid. He didn't know how many potential threats still lurked around Xi'er. Yesterday's assassins were not weak in their martial arts. If it were Xi'er, he wasn't confident she could escape unharmed.

"What could I possibly have"

Feng Lingxi snapped her fingers, and a dozen figures appeared before them. Dugu Cheng looked at the group of women and suddenly smiled.

"It seems I underestimated Xi'er's efforts over the past year."Ling Xi scolded her.“Your Majesty, the words you spoke today are the most ridiculous I've ever heard. You want me to risk my life for you I think you overestimate yourself.” She, Feng Yuxi, hadn't ac...
