empty interior, her eyes showed confusion."Isn't this a farm Where are the people"“I sent them all into the city. Today, this place belongs to me.”Yao Wan'ying looked at Feng Lingxi, "Xier, mother wi..."Xi'er, tell me about it."

Ye Xi also chimed in, "Your Highness, you should tell us. Perhaps your method will work."

"Does Your Highness know that there is a medicinal herb called Jiangzi growing on this mountain"

"Jiangzi"

Du Gu Cheng frowned, looking at Ye Xi. Seeing his confusion, Feng Ling Xi explained, "It's just croton."

"Your Highness, is it a type of laxative that could kill horses and camels after eating"

Upon seeing the Queen's nod, Ye Xi hurriedly said to Dugu City, "Your Highness, this method is not despicable. I remember that on this battlefield, this tactic was often used in the past. Although it is a bit damaging, it is controllable and effective."

"So that's Jiangzi."

Dugu Cheng raised an eyebrow, "This king remembers, three years ago, when this king led his troops to attack Lichi City, he suffered a loss just like this once. The city guard of Lichi City used this very method to make the horses and soldiers lose their ability to fight."

"So someone used this before. This city's garrison commander is quite capable, to actually use such a method to repel the enemy."

It's a pity that in the end, the city of Lì fell into my hands. It's a shame for the officer who defended it.

獨孤城感傷地說，回想起來，如果當初守城官員聽從他的安排，或許能夠為他獻計獻策。

Feng Lingxi looked at the regret in Dugu Cheng's eyes, "You killed him"

"It wasn't I who killed him, but he committed suicide because he refused to surrender. He took his own life when the city was breached."

"It's a pity, though."

No wonder Du Gucheng felt regret, if she were in his position, she would also want to keep it for herself.

Dugu City looked at Feng Lingxi and continued to discuss the topic they had just talked about, "Xi'er, this army of 300,000 requires a large amount, and moreover, once the army enters the mountain valley, if there is a crisis, it will immediately retreat. I'm afraid your method won't work."

"So we need to take a risk."

Feng Lingxi's words caused Dugu City's eyes to narrow slightly, "What do you mean by that"

There are two options. Either we risk sneaking into the Gallo Kingdom's military camp to drug them, or we drug them as they enter the mountain valley. Going to the camp is very dangerous, but the effect will be much better. If we drug them as they enter the valley, there might be some risks, but after the drug takes effect, the results will also be very good.

Feng Lingxi told Dugu City her thoughts, "Blending into the military camp will take some time, the second method is easier and will be much better."

"Ye Xi, does the Galo nation's army have any intention of attacking"

"Not yet."

獨孤城思忖會，“兮兒覺得哪個辦法容易就用哪個辦法，實在不行，本王在迎戰。”

"Now we need to grind Jiangzi into a powder, the more the better."

Dugu Cheng nodded, "Leave this matter to the apothecaries in the city. Let Vice General Sun assist."

Wind Ling, at the sound of his name, responded and instructed Xiao Li to handle this matter. She remained behind to continue discussing with Dugu City, explaining her plan in detail. After hearing her elaborate strategy, Dugu City expressed some doubt about its feasibility.

Three hundred thousand soldiers, not three thousand, a slight misstep could lead to the entire army's annihilation. However, this could also be a good strategy.

According to Feng Lingxi's instructions, all the river snails collected from the people were ground into powder. Some newly harvested river snails were also taken out to dry by Feng Lingxi's people. With the strong sunshine now, they would continue to be ground into powder after drying, replenishing the stock.

Feng Lingxi would load finely ground Jiangzi powder onto special arrowheads. When the bow was released, the Jiangzi powder would explode, scattering and being inhaled. While the effects took slightly longer to kick in, they were just as potent. This way, not only were their own soldiers unharmed, but the enemy forces were also repelled.

Dugu City looked at the characteristic arrows Feng Lingxi had made, quite puzzled. However, she didn't say anything, and he didn't want to ask.

Following Feng Lingxi's instructions, they began making arrows with Jiangzi powder. Feng Lingxi supervised the entire process, while Dugu City assisted her. Looking at the arrows she made, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't believe she knew how to make them.

Feng Lingxi hadn't thought this much. She took out everything she had learned. She knew that Dugu Cheng dared to use this method, risking so much. Although the method was somewhat despicable, she had already reduced the effect of Jiang Zi Fen's medicine and wouldn't take their lives.

After a day and night of frantic work, nearly 10,000 arrows were manufactured. Feng Lingxi specially cleared a space to store them, preventing the river sand from getting damp and hindering its dispersal.

After finishing the poisoned arrows, Feng Lingxi also made some special poison powder, but she didn't tell Dugu City. This was something she planned to use only as a last resort.

"Xier, is there anything else this King can help you with"

Dugu Cheng walked in and looked at the piles of bottles and jars on Feng Lingxi's table, "How come there are so many"

Feng Lingxi hurriedly put away the bottles and jars, "I was just making some backups. Is there something you need"

Dugu Cheng watched her skillfully place the bottles and jars in separate locations. Seeing that she was unwilling to speak, he didn't press further. "The large army from the Gallo Kingdom is stationed ten miles outside. They don't seem to have any intention of attacking. Your Majesty, I was thinking, perhaps General Li's side has had some effect."

Feng Lingxi's eyes narrowed slightly, "If that's the case, then it's a good thing."

"This king thinks the same way. The Gallo Kingdom turning its back on the court is a good thing for us, but...Mother Empress hasn't returned yet, and we don't know where she is or if she's safe."

Speaking of her mother, Feng Lingxi's heart was not in a good place. Her mother treated her exceptionally well, and now that she was in trouble, she couldn't even find anyone from her own people.

"I'll take you to see someone."

Feng Lingxi thought of the group of people she had caught two days ago. She had wanted to ask them yesterday, but Jiang Zifen's matter delayed her. Now she should go and ask them, perhaps there was news about her mother.

Dugu Cheng watched her hurry out and quickly followed, "Xier, who are you going to see"

"Those who assassinated you have been caught. The leader of the group might know something, we'll go ask him."

Feng Lingxi and Dugu Cheng walked into the dungeon. The man saw her arrive and snorted coldly, his eyes full of arrogance.

It seems like you forgot everything I said to you that day.

Feng Lingxi walked in front of him, "I'll give you a few days to think about it. Are you going to tell me everything you know, or are you going to stay here and watch me bring your whole family here to bury with you"

Dugu Cheng looked at the man in black who was tied up, walked to his face, pinched his chin, and looked at his face with some surprise, "It's you"

The man in black looked at Dugu City, angrily roared towards him, "Dugu City, I didn't kill you this time, next time I will definitely not let you escape..." Before he could finish speaking, Feng Lingxi punched his abdomen fiercely. The man in black let out a muffled groan, glared at Feng Lingxi unwillingly, and sneered coldly.

"I wouldn't have thought the War God, the Fourth King, would ever come to this. Hiding behind a woman What a shame."s, inside are all the most important things from Mother.”Feng Lingxi looked at the bracelet, her eyes full of doubt."Could this be the reason why the Ghost Saint nation's Yao race has been pursuing yo...
