Chapter 1201: War Drums Beat

mething the Holy Master would do, how could they all be left to choose.This elder's selection is a good one. If this isn't good, then if something happens in the future, this will implicate himself. W...Upon questioning, the women's answers were all the same. A month ago, their husbands had been taken away, and they themselves had been occupied by these men, forced to cooperate and act in their play.

If not for Feng Lingxi discovering something amiss today, these people would have remained here for who knows how long, and we'd still be in the dark about their true intentions.

After Feng Lingxi finished asking, the women pleaded with her to take charge and find their husbands, so that their families could be reunited.

"Rest assured, my lord has promised to investigate this matter thoroughly and will keep following up on it."

Feng Ling comforted the crowd, looking at the tears in their eyes, his heart ached.

"Xiao Li, take care of them and make sure they don't wander off. I'm going to see the King."

Feng Lingxi instructed, Xiao Li hurriedly gathered the women together and brought over several soldiers to watch them, to prevent any accidents.

"My Lord."

Feng Lingxi walked to Dugu City's face. This "Your Highness" in front of others was Feng Lingxi's biggest address for Dugu City. She usually called him by his name directly, and she had never even called him "husband".

As for address, Feng Lingxi has always been like this. Dugu Cheng is her man, her husband. Calling him by his name is remembering his name, not a disrespect to him. Since their marriage, it has always been like this.

Dugu Cheng had never felt that her title was inappropriate. Perhaps it was because of this that she had been able to be called this way all along.

Dugu Cheng walked to Feng Lingxi's side, leaned in close, and whispered, "Did you get the answer"

Feng Lingxi lowered his voice and said, “Just like what Big Sister-in-law said, these are all bandits. Take them down and bring them all back for interrogation.”

Dugu Cheng looked up and saw Feng Yu Mo who was still interrogating. After exchanging glances with Dugu Cheng, Feng Yu Mo said in a cold voice, "Come here, arrest them all."

The soldiers rushed forward, and the bandits disguised as shepherds were caught off guard and all apprehended.

"Prince Chen, what are you doing"

獨孤城 walked up to the former owner, looking at the panic in his eyes. His gaze swept over these bandits, roughly about thirty of them. There weren't many villagers here, but almost all the young women had been violated by them.

"Xier, you tell me."

Feng Lingxi nodded, looking at the women, "Don't pretend anymore, we all know, you are in cahoots with the bandits who appeared today. Tell me, where did their husbands go"

The women, emboldened by a surge of courage, stepped forward and pointed at the bandits, "Release our men..." But before they could finish their plea, the menacing glare of the bandits sent them scurrying back. Undeterred, they persisted in their accusation from a safe distance.

"I didn't expect to be found by you."

The previous male homeowner, looking at the woman who had been sleeping beside him for over a month, glared at her menacingly, "You wait for me..."

Before he could finish his words, someone kicked him in the knee. The pain caused him to kneel down and groan.

"What are you waiting for Do you think you still have a chance"

Dugu Cheng glanced around, "Take them all back and interrogate them strictly."

"Yes!"

Feng Yu wielded his pen, and the soldiers bound all the people before escorting them back to camp.

Feng Yu Mo left behind a thousand soldiers to protect the safety of the herdsmen.

"This matter, this king will investigate clearly and will definitely bring back your men. Tell this king in detail what happened during this time." Dugu City looked at the old people and children among the herdsmen, and told his soldiers to settle them down.

“My Lord, this is what happened. A month ago at night, they suddenly arrived here, taking all our men away and leaving behind these bandits with us. These bandits pretend to be our men, staying with us every day and not letting us out of their sight. If we dare speak out of line, they threaten to kill our children. One man already spoke up and was killed right there on the spot. We are terrified. What can we do We are all just women and children here, no match for them. There are no patrol soldiers around to protect us, so we have no choice but to submit to their demands.”

"No wonder we haven't received any information here, it seems they were well-prepared."

Dugu Cheng looked at Feng Lingxi, it seemed they had truly underestimated the surrounding bandits, allowing them to take advantage.

We are all powerless. For the sake of our children, we dare not resist them.

The women began to weep, recounting their misfortunes. For over a month, their husbands had been taken away, and they themselves had been violated without being able to resist. Had it not been for the appearance of Prince Chen and his wife today, they didn't know how much longer they would have endured.

"Did those bandits say anything when they took your men Did anyone come by during their journey"

The women shook their heads, "No, it's just that these people remained here to replace our men. No one else has come since then. We just need a normal life."

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu City, "It seems that if you want to find out where the abducted villagers were taken, you can only start with those people."

This matter, this king personally investigated, they captured all were males. This bandit's lair should be nearby.

Dugu Cheng ordered, "You all guard this place and ensure the safety of the herders here."

Feng Lingxi told all the women to go back home and wait for news with peace of mind.

Dugu Cheng took Feng Lingxi back, sending her to Chen Wang's mansion before going to the military camp.

"Xiao Li, if there's any news about the ranch, let me know."

獨孤城 went to investigate, and we believe news will arrive soon.

Xiaoli walked forward with the roasted leg of lamb, "Your Highness, Yexi just said that Your Majesty will get to the bottom of this, so don't worry too much. This was brought back by me from the eldest sister-in-law, she said it can be eaten hot."

Feng Lingxi, where could she still have an appetite With such things happening, they were oblivious and truly didn't care about the people around them.

These pastoralists belonged to tribal groups, and their territories were planned on the land of Dugu City. There were many other tribal groups nearby. Although they submitted to the Yuan Dynasty, they were not considered citizens of the Yuan Dynasty.

All the men who were taken away were young and strong. She worried about their purpose.

"Mother, this is from Youyou."

Waner took a piece of paper and gave it to Feng Lingxi, "What's this"

Feng Lingxi only glanced at it, her expression suddenly tightened, and she hurriedly took it over. Looking at the drawing on it, wasn't this a bomb diagram It was more powerful than the gunpowder she had made before, and the proportions and formulas on this bomb diagram were very precise. Who drew this

Could there be other time travelers

Feng Lingxi hastily crouched down and asked Wan'er, "Wan'er, did Youyou say who gave this to him"

"It was that bad guy who fell down."

"How could he..."

Feng Lingxi thought of that person, could he be a time traveler just like her

It's impossible, there can't be so many time travelers in the world.

Feng Lingxi couldn't believe she kept running into so many people like this. But no matter what, she had to question them personally and find out where this bomb diagram came from. Lingxi, "So, about going to the Yao Clan, I can't help you."They know we're here, they'll naturally send someone to pick me up.If their goal was her, how could they not know she had arrived.Feng Ling...
