Chapter 1277: Flames of War Arise

even the Consort of Wind has said so, then let it be this way. This king is a bit tired, so I'll leave the matter of Feng Lingyu to the Consort of Wind to handle. I believe the Consort of Wind will ac..."You..."

Xiao Li's face turned ashen. She was furious with Xinshui's words, her gaze fixed on the mocking smile playing on her lips. Xiao Li felt a surge of anger that made her want to slap her across the face and silence her nonsensical chatter.

"Little Li, don't argue with her. It only plays into her hands. She wants to anger us, but this cheap trick is laughable."

Feng Lingxi's words made Xinshui's eyes colder. "Don't you have a grasp of the situation"

If that were the case, any man would care.

"Your words are truly astonishing. Perhaps this king should ponder carefully if the daughter Axi gave birth to is truly his own."

獨孤城 suddenly opened his mouth, the expression on his handsome face unreadable.

Xiaoli seeing this, hurriedly said, "Your Highness, the Crown Princess has never..."

"Xiaoli, don't talk too much."

Feng Lingxi tugged at Xiaoli's sleeve, signaling her to stay silent. She wanted to see how Dugu City would react to this. This kind of thing, if it were any other man, would harbor resentment. Even more so since Xinshui was telling the truth. After she became pregnant, she did spend a lot of time with Luo Li, even giving birth to Wan'er while with him.

How many men in ancient times could accept their wives spending so long with another man without questioning whether the child was their own

"The Crown Prince, you must see clearly. Your princess is uneasy, her maid is anxious, what does this mean It means…"

"You did a great job explaining things, you really scared them."

Du Gucheng snatched her words, looking at Xin Shui's smug smile, a smile curled his lips, making Xin Shui couldn't help but be distracted. This Du Gucheng was indeed the most handsome man in the Great Yuan Dynasty. Such an appearance among many princes was indeed the most outstanding. This Feng Lingxi was really lucky, she got all the good things.

"I'm just speaking the truth, Prince Chen has his own conclusions in mind."

"This is natural, I'm not a fool. Is this Wan'er my daughter or not It can't be decided by just a few words from others." Dugu Cheng's words caused the smile on Xinshui's face to slowly disappear. He didn't believe what she had said at all.

What's so good about Feng Lingxi that he defends her like this.

"Everything you said today, this king will tell Luo Li truthfully. I'll also ask him for clarification and see what he says. After all, you, an outsider, wouldn't know the relationship between me and Luo Li."

"You..."

Xinshuiqi's eyes were bloodshot, staring at the sneer on Dugu City's lips, gritting her teeth and glaring at him, "Are you playing me"

"Everything this King says is true. While you do possess some beauty, and your seduction techniques are somewhat effective, you're still far from being able to deceive this King."

"Not even the Prince would look at you, and I wouldn't have the stomach to either."

Ye Xi retorted mercilessly, "At your age, you have the audacity to preen and pose before us"

"You..."

Xinshui, hearing Ye Xi curse at her, couldn't bear such insults. Her figure moved swiftly forward, launching an attack against Ye Xi. Ye Xi hastily retaliated, and Dugu Cheng pulled Feng Lingxi back, signaling her not to approach so as not to get hurt herself.

Feng Lingxi was seeing Ye Xi actually make a move for the first time. Her movements were agile, quick, and precise. Against Xinshui, she didn't even draw her sword, executing clean and efficient strikes that kept Xinshui on par.

"Can Yexi defeat Xinshui"

"Just see for yourself. Her martial arts aren't weak, and her kung fu seems a little off. Just be careful dealing with her, alright Later, you be careful yourself." Feng Ling Xi nodded, but her eyes never left the two fighters.

"Xiao Li, protect the princess well, don't let her get hurt."

Dugu City ordered, watching the swarming female assassins, drew his sword and flew forward to meet them in battle, pulling the battlefield to the front. His movements were more agile than Ye Xi's, and his fighting moves were even faster, fiercer, and more precise. He was ruthless in his attacks. Thirty-odd people surrounded him, but he didn't show any weakness, handling them with ease.

Wind Ling watched them fight, very nervous, fearing that Dugu City would be outnumbered and outmatched. The arrow under her sleeve was twitching, ready to help.

"Your Majesty, please step back."

Xiaoli warned, drew the twin short swords from her waist, and prepared to fight.

Feng Lingxi was still seeing Xiao Li's short sword for the first time. She had never seen her take out a weapon until today.

"Xiao Li, do you want to help them I can take care of myself."

Xiao Li didn't look back, "The Wangye asked this servant to protect the safety of the princess. These people, the Wangye and Ye Xi can handle."

Feng Lingxi looked at the over thirty people surrounding Dugu City, feeling uneasy. She subconsciously touched the medicinal powder in her arms and suddenly her eyes lit up, "Xiaoli, soft tendon powder."

Xiaoli glanced but didn't take it.

"Your Highness, there's no need. These people are not their opponents at all."

Xiao Li's affirmation left Feng Ling Xi puzzled, was Dugu Cheng that amazing

This treasured martial arts is so powerful, standing for long will surely lead to defeat, they are outnumbered.

Fei Ling raised her hand, but Xiao Li grabbed her.

"Your Majesty, don't bring people here, lest you invite trouble."

Feng Lingxi could only let go of her hand and helped the village head enter the house, allowing them to hide inside.

More than thirty people attacked Dugu City but gained no advantage. Instead, within a short time, several were killed. Seeing this, the others swarmed Dugu City and attempted to sneak attack Feng Lingxi's side. Feng Lingxi watched as an assassin raised his sword toward her. Before she could react, Xiaoli leaped into action, her short sword already slashing across the assassin's neck. The assassin fell, and Xiaoli was back beside Feng Lingxi.

"My lady, do not be afraid. I am here to protect you. They cannot harm you."

Feng Lingxi nodded silently, putting away her sleeve arrows. It seemed she was indeed superfluous.

After fighting for a while, more than half of Xinshui's people were dead. Xinshui and Yexi fought for a long time, unable to kill each other or gain the upper hand. When Xinshui wanted to kill Feng Lingxi, Yexi stopped him again. Seeing that he couldn't kill Feng Lingxi today, Xinshui sheathed his sword.

"I really didn't see it, the martial arts of the little guards around Prince Chen are so good, it seems like I won't be able to get anything today."

Ye Xi looked at Xin Shui's unwilling eyes and corrected, "It's not that you can't get it today, but you won't be able to get it in the future either."

Having finished speaking, he raised his sword and launched another attack. This time, he was going to eliminate this threat for the sake of the princess, so she wouldn't have to deal with him repeatedly.

Xin Shui didn't expect him to attack again, and this time his moves were even more vicious. She realized he hadn't gone all out before, and she couldn't help but panic. Her skill hadn't fully recovered, and the injury from losing a finger affected her. She was simply no match for him.

Ye Xi's sword thrust toward her chest, Xinshui dodged his attack, but her arm couldn't dodge in time, leaving a gash. Blood flowed directly from the wound, and Xinshui stumbled back several steps, covering her arm with her hand and glaring fiercely at Ye Xi.

"You little guard, this grudge this Miss will remember!"

Then go to Huangquan and remember.

Ye Xi was serious this time, with no mercy. He struck again, swiftly aiming to assassinate Xin Shui. Just as he was about to succeed, a figure flew over and rescued Xin Shui. Ye Xi was also repelled by the other party's internal force.let him go, just leave."Su Su handed her a stack of silver notes. “Take this money and find a good family to live with.”Huan Yue looked at the silver note in her hand, looking at the Du Gu Cheng who h...
