Chapter 413 Revenge 57

ced at the direction Dugu City left. Her brother said he would leave, and he did so without looking back. He was truly heartless."No need to send me off, this palace will go by myself. Tell the Fourt..."State your name, we don't associate with nameless individuals."

Feng Lingxi bowed and said, "I am Feng Lingxi, the new Saint Lord of the Yao Clan."

"Yao Clan Saint Master What is that Has anyone here ever heard of such a person"

The scar-faced man at the front asked the bandits behind him, and when they all burst into laughter, he said, "Fourth in command We've never heard of anyone by that title."

"Today, all the Empresses Dowagers are cooperating with me. Wouldn't you, as the head of everything, like to"

As soon as Feng Lingxi spoke, the crowd who were just laughing fell silent and stared at her. They started whispering among themselves, their suspicion about Feng Lingxi's identity growing.

"Should the Fourth Master inform the First Master"

The Scarface Man looked at Feng Lingxi and said in a low voice, "You go back and tell your big brother, see what he says."

Feng Lingxi saw the people who had seen him leave, looked around, and said lightly, "Cooperate with me, you won't be treated badly."

The Scarred Man looked at Feng Lingxi, his eyes clearly suspicious. However, due to her stated identity, he temporarily didn't arrest her. Judging from their clothes, they were made of high-quality silk – a fat sheep. He decided to play it safe first.

Feng Lingxi saw that they were silent and looked around, asking, "When I came from the town just now, I heard that the imperial court sent troops to suppress bandits. Do any of you know about this"

"Suppress bandits"

The scarred man burst into laughter, which left Feng Lingxi puzzled. Was it that funny

"Don't talk about the imperial court coming to suppress bandits, even if the emperor himself came, we wouldn't fear him."

The arrogant tone made Feng Lingxi's heart slightly surprised. It seemed that these bandits were really inflated. Otherwise, how could they be indifferent to hearing about the suppression of bandits, and even mocking the power of the court

"Do you know that the one sent this time is the War God, Fourth Prince Dugu Cheng"

The scar-faced man's smile gradually disappeared, and he looked at Feng Lingxi with a nervous expression. "Who are you talking about The War God, the Fourth Prince You're saying that the court sent him to suppress the bandits"

"Good, that's him."

Feng Lingxi was very satisfied with the Scar Man's reaction. He didn't know that this meant that Dugu City hadn't arrived here yet, which meant it was very possible that he had set up camp somewhere nearby. As long as Dugu City was fine, she still had some time on her side.

"How do you know this so well Are you really the Saint Lord of Yao Clan"

Feng Lingxi wore a helpless expression. “Didn’t I just say I am the Saint Master of Yao Clan, even the Empress Dowager has to cooperate with me. Naturally, I am from the capital city. The news in this palace, of course, I know it. Otherwise, how dare I come to see you all, the big bosses, with only a follower”

Feng Lingxi's confidence made the Scarred Man question, not fully believing but also not daring to disbelieve.

"Didn't the Fourth Prince get demoted to the border by the imperial court How did he come back"

The Scarfaced Man looked at Feng Lingxi, "Don't tell me, the God of War allowed himself to be manipulated by that dog emperor for this prince's position."

"What's your opinion of Dugu Yan"

Wind Ling Xi raised an eyebrow. The scarred man's face softened slightly when he heard her call the emperor "dog emperor".

"If it weren't for that dog emperor, we wouldn't be in this situation today."

"Let me tell you."

The scar-faced man was about to speak, but suddenly thought of something and glared at Feng Lingxi, "Why would I tell you these things Don't change the subject, just wait for our big boss's news."

After finishing his words, he instructed his brothers to guard Feng Lingxi and Xiao Li, forbidding them from leaving even a step.

In the time it took to brew a pot of tea, that person returned and, seeing Feng Lingxi, hurriedly said, "The big boss said to have you come see him."

Let's go.

The scar-faced man gestured for Feng Lingxi and Xiaoli to dismount, commanding, “Don’t play tricks, or you’ll regret it.”

"Be more polite to our master."

Xiao Li's guardian, Feng Lingxi, stood behind her, his cold and sharp eyes making the bandits question their gaze. Though they didn't know what the Yao Clan Saint Lord was, they could tell from the entourage's bearing that she held some status.

Since the master has spoken, treat these two ladies well.

The scarred man spoke, and Feng Lingxi and Xiao Li's expressions changed slightly. He actually saw that they were women

Their outfits are already very masculine.

"Your eyesight is pretty good."

Feng Lingxi's generous praise, her keen observation skills. For a bandit to possess such abilities is indeed commendable.

The Scarred Man smirked, wiping his lips. "If you can't even do this much, how can you be a mountain bandit Come on, Yao Clan Holy Master."

Wind Ling gestured to Xiao Li, letting her know not to be too nervous, and followed them to the bandit's lair.

Chenjiatun

Upon hearing the scout's report, Du Gu Cheng's face changed drastically. "Are you sure you didn't see things wrongly"

"Reporting back to Your Majesty, this subordinate has been following the Princess for so long, how could I possibly be mistaken It truly is the Princess and her personal maidservant, Xiao Li."

Dugu Cheng's handsome face darkened, "How did Xi'er end up here"

"It must be that they heard about the king coming to suppress bandits, so they came here to find him. They just didn't expect to be captured first." Ye Xi looked at the king's gloomy handsome face and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, why don't we go up the mountain now and force them to hand over the princess"

"Since it's a woman's version of men's clothing, naturally there is preparation. If we go up the mountain now, we will definitely fight, making it even harder to ensure Xi'er's safety. Ye Xi, you have people continue to watch them. Tonight, the two of us will sneak into the village after dark."

This is all we can do for now.

"My lord, this is too dangerous. There are so many bandits in the mountains, and if you go to their stronghold like this, what if something happens How can we explain it to the Imperial Dowager"

"Raven's mouth, the two of us going there, wouldn't we be drumming and beating gongs Otherwise, why go at three o'clock in the middle of the night"

"Ye Xi reprimanded the guard angrily. Looking at the King's worried eyes, she comforted him, “Your Highness, the Queen is incredibly intelligent. It’s just a bandit’s den. She can’t possibly be trapped there. Your Highness, please rest assured. We’ll go take a look tonight."

Dugu Cheng replied, "Go prepare."

Ye Xi gave the person a wink and instructed them to prepare.

The Scarface man brought Feng Lingxi up the mountain. Looking at the environment here, there were many women, the elderly and children. When they saw the Scarface man, they smiled and greeted him, and even some children would run over to greet him. Looking at it, he didn't look like a bandit at all.

The counterfeit goods were plentiful, and there were quite a few bandits who had trained hard. They also lived in good conditions, with game drying everywhere.

"These girls won't be the ones you kidnapped from the mountains, will they"

Feng Lingxi purposely asked, the man with the scar glanced at her, a smile still playing on his lips, "Does the Holy Lord think they were forced to be here"

“This place resembles a village, but lacks the domineering and arrogant air of a bandit den. It feels more like a peaceful rural settlement.”

"The Lord has good eyes. Since you're here, come in and sit."

A gentle voice reached her ears. As Feng Lingxi walked in, she saw a young man dressed as a scholar in plain clothes. Several rough-looking men were sitting beside him, looking completely out of place. Feng Lingxi glanced at them and her gaze fell on the scholar

Couldn't he have also been arrestedok at Xiao Li guarding the door. Her expression was pitiful."Come on, what's going on"Dugu Cheng stretched out his hand, "Xi'er, do you know what the soldiers say about you"Feng Lingxi saw that he did...
