Chapter 1259: Smoke Signals Arise 70

ake things difficult for this king""Then let me ask you, about the matter of Shui Yin Rou, was it you who did it, or was the guard Shui Yin Rou truly feeling something"Feng Lingxi's question made Dugu...Feng Lingxi stared at the little beggar, struggling inside for a long time, and nodded.

"Of course I'll go, this is the third time already. If I don't go, there will be a fourth, fifth, until I agree to see him."

"The Princess Consort of Chen is indeed intelligent. My master said that such an intelligent woman as the Princess Consort would certainly go to meet him."

Feng Lingxi turned to look at Zhang You, "When the prince returns, tell him that I will be back soon."

"Your Majesty, I will accompany you."

Xiao Li looked at the little beggar, her eyes full of suspicion. She couldn't let the princess take risks; it was too dangerous.

Feng Lingxi wanted Xiao Li to go with her, but since Xiao Li hadn't agreed yet, the little beggar spoke up to stop her, "That won't do, my master said he wants to see only Princess Chen."

Then I'll wait outside. Otherwise, I won't allow my wife to follow you.

Xiao Li was determined not to yield, blocking Feng Lingxi's path. She refused to believe it, she would lose to this little beggar.

Your master wouldn't mind her waiting outside, would he Besides, if he had no intention of harming me, why would he worry about me bringing a maidservant with me.

Feng Lingxi spoke, the little beggar thought for a moment, and shrugged.

"Alright, since the Princess Consort of Chen has said so, then let's go with her. You can wait outside and come back when the Princess Consort comes out."

Xiao Li let out a breath. As long as she was allowed to follow, she would find a way to leave clues for Ye Xi, and wait for the butler to report back so they could provide support.

"Butler, when the Master returns, tell him I've gone out of the city to meet someone."

Zhang You's eyes were full of worry, Feng Lingxi's eyes soothed him, letting him rest assured.

"My Queen, please be careful."

Feng Lingxi nodded and said to the little beggar, "Let's go."

Zhang You watched the Princess leave and immediately entered the manor to inform the servants to find the Lord. He asked Feng Yi-Xuan to try his best to go to the military camp and give the Lord a message.

Feng Lingxi, with Xiao Li following behind, trailed after the little beggar towards the city exit. The little beggar wasn't shy at all along the way, greeting passersby with a cheerful smile and never forgetting to beg for alms.

When the commoners saw Feng Lingxi following the little beggar, they politely greeted her and asked about her destination. The little beggar answered for Feng Lingxi, saying they were going for a walk outside the city, without concealing their intentions at all.

To this, Feng Lingxi was quite surprised. This little beggar took her outside the city, as if taking her out to play.

At the city gate, the guards saw Feng Lingxi leading Xiao Li out of the city and immediately stepped forward to ask, "Princess Consort Chen, are you leaving the city"

"I'm going out of town to run some errands, I'll be back soon."

The guard looked at the little beggar, "Your Highness, should I have someone escort you there"

"No need, it's not far. If you see Prince Chen, tell him I'll be out of the city for a while and return."

"The Crown Prince has left the city."

The guard looked at Feng Lingxi, "It's unlikely that the Crown Princess will see the Prince Consort any time soon. He's been out for a while."

"He left the city"

Feng Ling Xi's eyes were full of surprise, what kind of trouble had he run into Or perhaps he should be at the military camp.

The guard nodded, seeing the worry in Feng Ling Xi's eyes, and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, when Wang Chen left the city, he brought the night guards with him."

Feng Lingxi nodded. “I know, when he comes into the city later, tell him I left. That way he won’t worry.”

The guards responded, Feng Ling looked at the little beggar beside him, "Let's go."

Feng Lingxi walked out of the city, looking at the little beggar's grinning face. He didn't seem to worry at all because she was talking to the guards. This open and honest attitude made Feng Lingxi curious about his master's identity.

Where is your master

"The land temple outside the city, the old dilapidated temple couldn't be lived in anymore, now we are at the land temple."

"Didn't your master tell you to only bring me If you tell me his location, aren't you afraid I'll send people to arrest you all later"

The little beggar, hearing this, didn't get angry at all. Instead, he shrugged his shoulders casually.

"The master said, you won't."

Feng Lingxi smiled, "Your master does understand me."

The little beggar smiled without speaking, and continued walking with the wind whistling around him. After walking several miles outside the city walls, they reached the Land Temple mentioned by the beggar. This place was sparsely populated; behind the temple lay mountains, and there were no houses nearby.

Wind Ling followed the little beggar behind, he didn't speak either, just led the way, walking forward all the time. After about an incense stick of time, they arrived at the land temple.

This ancestral temple has been abandoned, with weeds growing everywhere. It feels desolate and uninhabited.

"The master is inside, Princess Consort Chen you go in yourself. I won't go in with you, wait for me outside."

Then I'll accompany the Princess inside.

Xiao Li refused and rushed forward, but she was pulled back by the little beggar.

"Rest assured, Master will not harm Princess Chen."

"I don't believe you."

Xiaoli was full of caution, reminding her, "Your Highness, don't be careless."

Wind Ling stared at the dilapidated temple before her. If not for the little beggar leading the way, she wouldn't have even thought anyone lived here.

"Since you're all here, why not give it a try"

Feng Lingxi looked at Xiaoli, "Wait for me here, isn't she still here"

The little beggar still smiled, “I swear to the heavens, my master will not harm Princess Chen.”

Feng Lingxi had already strode inside. Xiao Li wanted to catch up, but was stopped by the little beggar. The two engaged in a fight, and the little beggar's martial arts were no less skilled than Xiao Li's. Moreover, his techniques bore a striking resemblance to Xiao Li's.

"Are you from the Yao people"

"Aren't you also from the Yao tribe"

The little beggar raised an eyebrow, a smile playing on his lips that left Xiao Li confused. His martial arts were superior to hers, yet he only defended himself, never attacking. Could he be telling the truth Would his master really not harm the princess

"The Princess Consort of Chen is not a pushover either. Why not believe her once It's not like she always does bad things."

The little beggar looked at Xiaoli and winked at her, “The princess has gone in. If the master really wants to harm her, she'll call out, won't you go in then”

Xiao Li clenched her fists. This little beggar was so skilled in martial arts. If they really fought, she might not even win. How could she possibly go in to save the princess

Feng Lingxi walked into the land temple, looking at the dilapidated temple inside. The statue of the Earth God seemed to still be there, but everything around it was already in disrepair. Feng Lingxi looked around, her eyes full of confusion.

Who is the master that the little beggar spoke of

Who is the mastermind behind that “卍”

"Come in."

A cold voice came, Feng Lingxi's body stiffened, this familiar voice.

Feng Lingxi quickly walked past the curtain, heading towards the back of the land temple. Behind it was an open space, with a few pieces of tattered cloth covering the walls on all sides.

"Mother."

Feng Lingxi looked at the woman sitting in the corner. That face, was it not her mother's But why was she wearing black and her complexion so pale Feng Lingxi quickly walked forward and knelt down, her nose stinging with emotion.cked unconscious.Feng Lingxi and Dugu Cheng arrived just in time to see the unconscious wet nurse. Looking at the traces of fighting around them, they were so worried that tears welled up in their eye...
