Chapter 231: Palace Change 75

g down his face."My Lord, I truly don't know who the assassin was. I only guessed it might be someone from the Empress Dowager's side, but I really have no idea who came to assassinate me.""Don't you...Cave

Dugu Cheng woke up, looking at the surroundings, bearing the pain of his wounds and getting up. Ye Xi heard the sound and opened his eyes. Seeing that the king had woken up, he hurried forward.

"Where are we"

Ye Xi hurriedly told Duke Gu everything that had happened, including how the princess had saved them. Watching the surprise on the duke's face, Ye Xi chuckled, "Your Highness, didn't you expect the princess to be so capable She can even climb down from such a high cave"

Dugu Cheng hurriedly grabbed Ye Xi's sleeve, his face full of anxiety and asked, "Was she injured"

"Naturally, there's no need. The Princess is so capable, how could she be injured It's the Prince who was hurt this badly, and frightened the Princess."

And what about her

When Dugu Cheng heard that Feng Ling Xi was unharmed, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. He moved his arms, still aching. Looking at the bandages on top, his eyes were full of bitterness. This time, he had scared Xi'er badly, causing her to climb down the cave for him and suffering a lot.

The princess said that she would help you find the mastermind behind this and went back first. She will come again after daybreak.

"Isn't it already dawn Why haven't they come back yet Could something have happened"

獨孤城掙紮著走到岩洞口，看著外麵東方魚肚白的景色，眼睛滿是擔憂。

This night, Xi'er must have been sleepless.

"It's just dawn, the Princess needs to rest for a while, right Your Highness don't worry, the Princess will come. Let's rest for a bit and replenish our energy. We'll go up later and talk."

Ye Xi handed Dugu City the roasted chicken legs, "This was personally grilled for us by the princess."

Dugu Cheng took it, though it was cold, but Xi'er had roasted it. He took it and ate it, the corners of his lips slightly raised, what more could a husband ask for with such a wife.

"My Lord, before this, I thought the Lady Consort was either cold or stern. Now I understand, she's just outwardly cold but inwardly warm. My Lord was injured, and the Lady Consort worried more than anyone else. It's clear to me that she truly loves my Lord."

As Night Xi praised Xier, the smile on Dugu City's lips grew wider and wider.

He naturally knew Xi'er was a good person.

Ye Xi glanced at the lord, then sat on a large stone above the cave opening. She looked down at what was happening below. It was good to be able to see so far.

Suddenly, a swarm of shadowy figures from afar rushed towards Liu Xi's direction. Ye Xi stood up in shock, rubbed her eyes and looked closely, her face changed color, "Your Majesty, what is that"

Dugu Cheng followed Ye Xi's direction and looked out, his expression becoming serious. "At this time, how could so many people appear"

I want to see who it is, but they're a bit too far away. I can't make them out.

"Ye Xi, let's go up."

Dugu Cheng looked up at the cave ceiling, "We must hurry back and inform Xi'er. Otherwise, if the army attacks, things will be very troublesome when the time comes."

"My Lord, are you alright Your injuries..." Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"No problem."

Ye Xi hurriedly said, "That Your Highness please wait a moment, I'll send them a signal, the one the Princess left behind before she left."

Dugu City watched as Ye Xi took out a signal flare and threw it out. After a burst of sound, Feng Lingxi, who was about to go out, heard the noise, raised her head and looked at where the signal flare was launched, and hurriedly said, "Lei Song, quickly follow me to meet the king."

Lei Song hurriedly took a group of people to follow Feng Ling Xi towards the mountain valley above. When they reached the top, Feng Ling Xi, just like yesterday, tied the rope, but this time there were two more ropes, both thicker and sturdier than the one on her body.

"Xiao Li, you must listen to my orders later and be fully prepared to bring the Wangye up."

"Your Highness, please rest assured."

Feng Lingxi grabbed the rope and descended the cliff face. Xiao Li had someone keep a close watch on her while she herself stayed by Feng Lingxi's side, fearing for her safety.

"Little Li, what is that over there"

Lei Song raised his head and inadvertently saw the oppressive line of black soldiers, suddenly realizing the danger. He quickly said, “Oh no, the enemy army has arrived.”

"Are you talking about the country of Arahxia"

Xiao Li looked at the pitch-black expanse in the distance and urged, "Let's save the prince first, then figure out a plan."

"I'll send someone back to report, so we don't get complacent and be caught off guard when attacked."

Xiaoli responded and looked down at the rock wall, "It seems that the king and his men must have discovered the enemy's presence, which is why they are in such a hurry to come up."

Feng Lingxi followed the rock wall to the cave. Du Gucheng hurriedly supported her, helping her land safely. Watching her climb down, his heart hung in the air, filled with nervous anticipation.

"Xier, why did you come in person"

"Don't talk about it, just fix it and let them pull you up."

Feng Lingxi saw that they were all much better, so she hurriedly bound them up and said, "Let's go up first and then talk."

Dugu Cheng responded, securing the ropes and using his light kung fu skills, they climbed up quickly. Looking down at Xi'er carefully climbing up, Dugu Cheng felt a strange feeling in his heart. For the first time, he experienced the feeling of being protected by a woman.

"Your Highness, are you alright" Lei Song saw Dugu City and hurriedly knelt down. "It's all my fault for being careless that allowed Your Highness to suffer such hardship. Please forgive me."

Dugu Cheng watched Feng Ling Xi come up, and hurried forward to help her, pulling her to his side. Looking at her slender figure, his eyes were full of tenderness.

"Get up."

Dugu Cheng turned to look at Lei Song, "This matter has nothing to do with you. How is General Li's side Have all the grain supplies been transported back"

"Your Highness, the grain has been transported back. But the current situation is not good. Your Highness, please look over there."

Lei Song pointed to the large army of black figures approaching them. There were at least 100,000 of them.

"This king has already known, let's go back and talk later."

Feng Lingxi squinted, looking at the black and overwhelming army approaching. She opened her mouth and asked, "If the army attacks Liu Xi County, wouldn't this be a must-pass road"

"This is not the only way, but compared to the other path, this one is much easier."

Dugu Cheng looked at Xi'er's eyes, calculating. "Xi'er, do you have a way to fight back"

Feng Lingxi glanced at him, "I presume Your Highness already has a plan in place"

Dugu Cheng responded, "It wouldn't be easy to capture Liu Xi County. In the past, the Huang Xia Dynasty was successful because they had inside help. Now that we are defending it, attacking Liu Xi County will be much different."

Feng Lingxi’s eyes swept across the two sides of this valley. This terrain, if ambushed here, with a little calculation, wanting to attack the city would indeed not be easy. It seems that now we can only defend and wait for Dugu City's injuries to heal before talking.

Let's go back and discuss this. Both of you are injured. Even if we have to fight, we should wait until your injuries heal.

"This king agrees as well, but with a bit of arrangement, there will be plenty of time."

Du Gucheng ordered Lei Song to stay behind with his men to guard the place. Then, he followed Feng Lingxi back to the county town. Seeing them return, the soldiers in the city hurried out to greet them.

"Summon all the generals, I have matters to discuss."your mother about her return, but pretend you don't know about the fall."Feng Lingxi looked at Luo Li, seeing him nod, and continued, "Only this way can we expose their true colors. Tomorrow was suppo...
