with a bang, Xiao Li rolled to the ground, tumbled, and quickly stood beside Feng Ling Xi, warily eyeing the black-clad figures before them."Protect the Queen."Dugu City held Feng Ling in his arms, d...Du Gu Cheng swallowed the words that were about to leave his lips. Looking into Xi'er's eyes, he saw her unwavering determination. He knew, no matter how much he wanted to return to Yaozu with her, it was impossible.

"Your Highness, the Fourth Princess, actually since you and the Fourth Prince are already married, it is possible to go to the Yao Clan together."

Luo Li explained, looking at the reluctance in Dugu City's eyes, and added, "What I mean is, he has the right to go back with you to Yaozu."

"I've made up my mind. He has his own things to do, and didn't you say you could protect me If that's the case, I'll go back to him after I'm done." Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu City, "Right"

Dugu City nodded. Could he say no

Xi'er's meaning was so clear, and as she had said before, if something happened to her, he would go with her. It would be no more than sending another life out, and they wouldn't even have a chance to call for reinforcements.

He remained outside, ready to attack the Yao clan should they dare make a move. With 500,000 troops at his disposal, even if the Yao clan were powerful, they wouldn't be fearless.

"Since you have all made up your minds, I won't say any more, lest you think I have ulterior motives."

Luo Li got up, "I'll go deal with this first, you guys clean up in a bit."

Feng Lingxi nodded, "I've taken care of things at the inn. I've greeted the staff, and we can leave anytime."

After Luoli left, Dugucheng looked at Feng Lingxi, his eyes were very complicated.

"Don't you think I shouldn't have left you out here"

"Xier..."

Dugu Cheng looked at the helplessness in her eyes, "Actually, I also want you to accompany me, but I have to make these preparations. What if the Yaozu's situation is not as Luo Li said My mother has already encountered an accident and her life or death is unknown. If I take you back, once something happens, how can I explain it to my mother"

"And what about you Aren't you afraid something might happen to you"

Has she ever thought about what would happen to him if she got into trouble again

He had already tasted the pain of losing her, and he really didn't want to experience it again. This time, he really wanted to be by her side, through thick and thin.

"There are no so many ifs and buts, I will make full preparations. If anything is wrong, I will have Xiao Li notify you. You've been to the Yao Clan, you should know the general location. Even if not, isn't there A Man outside She can bring you back."

Aman is the mother's shadow guard, she must know how to enter the Yao clan.

Dugu Cheng grasped her hand, his eyes filled with worry. "Promise this king, take good care of yourself. No matter what, remember that preserving your life is the most important thing."

"I know I'll keep living, especially since I've already died once. God wouldn't be so cruel. You stay out there and handle things around us. Wait for me to come back, and we'll celebrate the New Year together."

Dugu Cheng responded with a nod, looking at Feng Ling Xi's smile on her face, but he couldn't bring himself to smile.

In less than a year of their marriage, so many things had happened. On her, he truly saw too much that he couldn't control. The upheaval in the court, the death of his father, everything followed suit. Xi'er followed him, enduring so much hardship.

And he, couldn't even protect his own woman.

Dugu City, you are truly useless.

Closing his eyes, Dugu City took a deep breath, his heart filled with helplessness.

The next day, the weather was overcast. Although it didn't snow, it was extremely gloomy and damp. A fine drizzle mingled with the cold wind, making the road difficult to travel. However, they did not stop their journey. They encountered no assassins along the way and arrived at the inn arranged by Luo Li on schedule.

Good times don't last. A day later, the weather wasn't as good as the day we went out. Snow fell in the cold wind, getting heavier and heavier. Over the next few days, everything was covered in a blanket of white, from the roads to the surrounding forests. Even the mountains were buried under thick snow.

Despite the harsh winter, the carriage showed no sign of stopping. They had enough rations for the journey, and after five days, they still had over a hundred miles to go. In another day, they would reach Linxi County.

"Fourth King, tomorrow we will return directly to the Yao Clan. You don't have to send Fourth Queen off any further, just return directly to Linxi County."

These past few days of rushing around have really taken a toll on me, I'm exhausted.

Although it was a bit of a journey, Feng Lingxi was able to breathe a sigh of relief when they finally reached their destination.

"Could we give Xier some time to return to Xicun County She hasn't slept well these past few days, and it would be good for her to rest a bit before continuing on."

"There's no time left, the day after tomorrow is the day to elect the Holy Lord. The Fourth Princess must get to the Yao Clan, otherwise, once the Yao Clan's Holy Lord is elected, I won't be able to protect the Fourth Princess."

"Dugu City, listen to him, you go back first."

Feng Lingxi opened her mouth, “Tell He Yu Mo to rest assured, I will return safely and celebrate the New Year with him. Tell him to listen to you and wait for me to go back.”

Du Gu Cheng nodded, "Rest assured, this king will take care of him and wait for you to come back together."

Feng Lingxi smiled slightly at him and said, "Okay."

Luo Li politely gave them time and went to prepare herself.

"Dugu City, everything I said to you, you have to remember. Don't act impulsively."

"This king knows, Xier rest assured."

These days, Xi'er had some free time and she told Feng Lingxi about the Yao Clan. She went into great detail, sharing everything she knew, including the location of the entrance to the Yao Clan back then. She even gave Feng Lingxi a rough map of the location leading to the Yao Clan.

Feng Lingxi had all her previous bows and crossbows repaired by Dugu City and equipped them for her. To be on the safe side, Feng Lingxi also carried some powder with her. If she couldn't guarantee a victory in terms of combat power, she could only use the medicinal powder. It wouldn't be fatal, but it would disable them.

Feng Ling Xi's preparations this time were very thorough, and it was precisely because of this that Dugu Cheng was even more worried about her safety. What exactly was the situation with the Yao Clan Perhaps only Xi'er would know after she arrived.

The next day, Feng Lingxi and Dugu Cheng parted ways. Only Xiao Li and Luoli returned to the Yao clan with Feng Lingxi, while Dugu Cheng headed straight for Linxi County.

"Can we go to Yao Clan today"

Feng Lingxi looked in the direction the carriage was traveling. It was indeed the Yao tribe, but it was already noon. The Yao tribe's road wasn't too close either. It was going to be very difficult to get back today.

It's already quite late, and there's no time to rest along the way.

Luo Li's expression turned serious. "Fourth Princess, after you return this time, just listen to me. My people will report. Now all the elders of the Yao clan want to be the Holy Master and are vying for the position. The most difficult one to deal with is Elder Yao Zhi among them."

What does it mean to listen to you

Feng Lingxi frowned, looking at Luo Li, "You wouldn't have brought me back without a plan to deal with these people, would you"

"Once I arrive at the Yao tribe, my identity will be revealed. The rest is up to you. However, when you return to the Yao tribe, don't immediately inquire about your mother's whereabouts. I want you to settle all the internal strife within the Yao tribe first."

"Clean up is a few meanings, rebels, kill"is not leaked, it's not a big problem.Feng Lingxi's beautiful eyes drooped, "I'll go find Luoli, you stay here and watch General Sun.""Your Highness, Little Li cannot leave you. The King is away, and...
