Chapter 1039: Metamorphosis 113

'er, you are getting married soon, it is not suitable to go out in public. If there is anything you need, just tell the servants to do it."The Liu family was afraid that if the news of King War God's..."I know General Li and the others are here. I'm talking about the court. If you leave, if they want to use your mother against you, you'll have to rush back from thousands of miles away."

Dugu Cheng looked at Feng Ling Xi's eyes, firm and unwavering. He had thought about this question.

"Then we'll send her to the Yao tribe. I must go with you."

He was afraid that if he didn't go this time, Wan’er and Xi'er would never return.

"Your Highness, you have the King accompany you. I swear to you with my head on the line that as long as I draw breath, I will protect Lady Shu and County West Lin."

Sun Cheng knelt down, his eyes resolute, and the soldiers behind him followed suit. "This general is willing to protect Imperial Concubine Shu and County Princess Linxi together. Please, Your Highness, take the Prince with you and head out to rescue the little princess."

"Fourth Sister, I know you have doubts about me, and I know what I say you might not believe. But Feng Yixuan is willing to swear to heaven here, just like them, to protect Princess Shutai and County Lady Linxi with their lives, waiting for your return."

Feng Yixuan raised his hand and swore to the heavens, "If I break my oath, I shall be pierced by a thousand arrows."

"You silly child."

Wind Lingxi hearing his oath, hastily grasped his hand, "I believe you, just don't swear randomly."

For so long, the imperial court in Xincun County had been keeping a close eye on her. She worried that if Dugucheng left, it wouldn't be a matter of loyalty or disloyalty. It would be their inability to protect Xincun County.

"Xier, let's go."

The carriage arrived, and Dugu Cheng urged.

"We still have to hurry."

Feng Lingxi nodded, stepped forward and hugged Tian Xiaomi, "Wait for me to come back, I will definitely make up a grand wedding for you."

Tian Xiaomi nodded, looking at Feng Lingxi's eyes filled with reluctance, and urged, "Let's go, it's getting late."

Feng Lingxi got into the carriage, and when everyone saw the carriage drive away, they reluctantly looked away.

At the top of the Xianshang city wall in Linxi County, a dark figure stared at the direction where the carriage had disappeared. A low voice came from him, "Tell Dugu Su that they have already left Linxi County and are heading to Gui Shengguo."

In the carriage, Feng Lingxi lifted the curtain and looked at the city gate behind her, her eyes full of worry.

"This trip away, I don't know when I can come back. Dugu City, do you want to think about it again, me…"

"Xi'er."

Dugu Cheng held her hand, "Wan'er is our daughter. We will find her together. I know what you're worried about. Trust me, even if we reach the Ghost Saint Country, I can still know what's happening here. Don't forget the intelligence from Tiangxiang Building"

When it comes to Tiangxiang Lou, Feng Lingxi's eyes well up with moisture.

"I forgot."

Dugu Cheng reached out and touched her head. This whole night he hadn't closed his eyes, Xi'er was truly tired.

"Wǎn'er will be fine. They took Wǎn'er simply because you didn't want her to become the clan leader. Since they say she's the destined successor, nothing will happen to her. Let's go quickly, we'll figure everything out. Besides, I've already instructed people to spread the news about Wǎn'er being taken away. If my mother-in-law finds out, she'll definitely come to help. I believe she has a way."

Feng Lingxi nodded slightly, praying in her heart that Wan'er would truly be alright.

Du Gucheng looked at Feng Lingxi's dark circles, reached out and pulled her into his arms, pressing her head against his chest.

"Don't think about it, just sleep."

Feng Lingxi responded and fell silent, perhaps truly exhausted, falling asleep in a moment. The carriage ride wasn't bumpy, and following the address Ye Xi relayed, Du Gucheng arrived at the inn Ye Xi mentioned. Seeing Ye Xi there surprised him greatly.

"My Lord, My Lady."

Feng Lingxi didn't see Luoli, and a sense of foreboding arose in her heart.

"Where is Luoli"

“He left first, leaving his subordinates here to await the Lord and Lady. He instructed them to meet with you all. This is a map of the Ghost Saint Nation, which he drew up all night and gave to his subordinate to deliver to the Lady. He said that without this map, even if you came out, you wouldn't be able to find the Yao Clan in the Ghost Saint Nation.”

Feng Lingxi looked at the map on the table. The ink was fresh, so it must have been drawn by him. Looking at the location on the map, this Ghost Saint Kingdom was a thousand miles away from them. Even with horses galloping day and night, it would take two or three months to get there.

This journey, so far away, why does each departure and return feel so fast

"Look at this map, I have a feeling something's not right."

Wind Lingxi handed the map to Dugu City, looking at the markings on it and quickly calculating the distance of the route.

"The Ghost Saint Kingdom is in the south. According to the map above, it would take at least three months to get there. Each trip back and forth takes a month and a half. Something's not right about this."

"Will it leave us deceived"

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu City, "We walk and then try to find a map of the Ghost Saint Nation. I don't believe the map Luo Li gave me."

"My lord, my lady, it is all the subordinates' incompetence that allowed them to be deceived."

This further proves our guess, Wanzhen's disappearance and Luo Li are definitely related.

Feng Lingxi looked at Ye Xi kneeling on the ground, "Get up and speak. This matter can't be blamed on you. If you had followed us, we would have been the ones to apologize."

Given Luo Li's personality, if Ye Xi followed her, there wouldn't be anyone left alive. Giving her a map was the only way to save Ye Xi's life.

Night Xi stood up and looked at the coldness in the queen's eyes. He remained silent and stood aside.

"Let's rest for the night. I'll find someone to inquire about the Ghost Saint Country's map."

Dugu City glanced around, "Yexi, does this place have any information from Tianxiang Building"

"No," Ye Xi shook her head, "Although Tianxianglou has branches all over the world, there isn't one here."

"That's right. Luoli knows my identity, he wants to get rid of us, naturally, he will act outside our sight. This way, we won't get any intel and the time delay will be enough for them to escape."

"Xiao Li, go and see if there are any members of the Yao clan here."

“It doesn’t matter anyway. The Yao people here probably all have their fates changed by Luoli, and even if you found them, they wouldn't listen to you. Once you leave Linxi County, your title as the Holy Lord will be meaningless.” This wasn't a dismissal of Xier's position as the Holy Lord, but rather that Luoli had already taken control of everything.

This map, he still has to find one.

"So what do we do now We need to get the map to find the Yao people of the Ghost Saint Kingdom and find Wan'er in the shortest amount of time."

She certainly didn't want to wait until Wan'er was two years old before seeing her.

"Take a rest for the night. Wait until tomorrow to reach the next location, and have my people try to get their hands on the Ghost Saint Kingdom's map."

Feng Lingxi nodded. The sky had already darkened, and they were traveling all night. Even if they could hold on, the horses needed to rest.

“I wonder if Wan'er will fuss about us leaving.”

Feng Ling xi gazed at the night sky outside, wondering if the little girl was thinking of her mother.

At this moment, Feng Lingxi truly regretted giving birth so quickly. If she had been patient and waited another two years, until things calmed down, perhaps all of this would not have happened.will definitely come and rescue us."Tian Xiaomi thought of Feng Ling Xi falling into her arms, and she didn't know how she was doing now.These people are most likely conspiring to kidnap her and Wan'e...
