Chapter 541 Conspiracy 28

poisoned."Xier, mother is fine. Mother is happy to see Xier is well."Zhang patted her on the back, "You're almost coming of age. Your father promised that he would find a good match for you. If you ha...When Dugu City returned, it was already noon. He had bloodstains on his body and several skin injuries, but nothing serious. Seeing Feng Lingxi, he immediately asked her, "Lingxi, I told you to stay here and not go out, how did you run out"

"I'm worried about you, so I went to check on you."

Feng Lingxi did not hide anything. Facing Dugu City's questioning, she saw the scars on his body and directly spoke out. Dugu City, who was originally a little worried, now only had Feng Lingxi's words in his heart: "I'm worried about you."

His eyes softened, and he spoke in a gentle voice, "How could I possibly be in danger As long as you are all safe here, they are no match for me."

Feng Lingxi knew that his words sounded light, but it wasn't easy for him to win. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come back now.

“When I went out, I encountered black-clothed people who were scattered searching for me. I dealt with one on the spot. I originally intended to tell you, but I ran into another one unexpectedly. So I thought, since they are looking for us in a dispersed manner, we might as well lure them out and kill them one by one. That's why it took so long.”

Feng Lingxi pulled Dugu City down to sit, his clothes weren't soaked through. Feng Lingxi hurriedly started a fire and roasted his clothes for him. Xiao Li quickly handed over the grilled chicken they had saved, reheated it, and let Dugu City eat. He hadn't eaten all day, Dugu City was truly hungry.

Now the three of them depend entirely on him for support and protection. He can't afford to have any accidents.

"A total of twenty-five men in black died, who knows how many more. We'll stay here for the night, but we have to move tomorrow."

Feng Lingxi nodded, looking at Xiaoli's legs. She had to think of a way, at least not to worsen Xiaoli's injuries.

"My Lord, please take the Lady with you. I truly don't want to implicate you both. If there are more assassins here, this place will be very dangerous..."

"Don't talk nonsense, Xi'er said we're going together, she won't leave you behind."

Dugu City coldly said, dividing the grilled meat for them to eat, "This king will go out later to get some firewood and food. Xi'er, you help this king fetch it later. There is a lot of firewood over there."

During the day there was no snow, and it melted quickly. We could find some firewood and food, so we managed to get through the night.

Feng Lingxi watched Dugu Cheng skillfully gathering firewood, walking up to him, "Did you often do this during wartime"

Dugu Cheng hummed, "Even more bitter, so don't worry, with this King here, nothing will happen to you."

Feng Lingxi shook her head, "I'm not afraid, actually I..."

The words that were about to leave her lips, Feng Lingxi took back. Looking at Du Gucheng's introspective gaze, she suddenly remembered the sign she had received at the Guan Yin Temple, saying that she would return to where she came from. She didn't know what this meant, but she didn't want to.

She wanted to tell Dugu City that she wasn't the real Feng Lingxi, but she was afraid he wouldn't believe her.

"Actually, how are you"

Dugu Cheng saw her troubled expression, her eyes full of reassurance. "Xi'er, if you have anything to say, just say it. This king is your husband, there's nothing you can't say."

Feng Ling Xi heard these words from her husband and nodded, saying, "I want to say, actually I can take care of myself too."

"There's a man in black with a pinprick on his neck. Was it you who killed him"

Dugu Cheng looked at Feng Lingxi, seeing her nod, his eyes full of worry. "Did he hurt you"

"No, I tricked that man in black with a few words, and he came close to me. That's when I took the opportunity to kill him."

"Xi'er, aren't you afraid of killing"

Dugu Cheng's words made Feng Lingxi's beautiful eyes raise slightly, looking at him, "And you Are you afraid when killing"

"Since I came of age, I have known that my hands would be stained with blood, and killing is inevitable."

Feng Lingxi looked at him, "Do you think my hands are only for saving people A healer can also kill." If others wanted to kill her, would she just let them

She is fierce and not a saint, why should she be merciful

Clutching the firewood, Feng Lingxi returned to the cave. Dugu Cheng watched her figure, his black eyes filled with heartache. A healer, who saves lives can also take them. If they hadn't taken action, how would Xier have ended up killinghis Empress and Lan Fei was fierce. Day after day, they quarreled over Xier to this extent, let alone the competition for favor."All of you, withdraw. The empress is weary."Wind and Rain, Xi He, and M...
