Chapter 435: Revenge 79

k early this morning.""As long as my mother is safe, that's all that matters. No matter what happens, as long as my mother is unharmed, I will keep my promise and give the Third Princess the antidote....Du Gu Cheng looked at Feng Ling Xi's eyes, filled with ruthlessness. Thinking about how all her hard work was destroyed like this, he felt a bitter taste in his heart, but he could only do as she wished.

"General Li, do as the Princess wishes and see to this matter as quickly as possible."

General Li went to attend to the matter as soon as he heard, and only then did Dugu City ask Feng Lingxi, “With everything destroyed, you don’t feel any heartache”

Feng Lingxi looked at the situation inside the cave, she couldn't say she wasn't heartbroken. She had put so much thought into this, thinking she could help Dugu City achieve great things. But she was too young after all, and hadn't considered the consequences of these actions.

"Though it pains me, I must destroy them. If these explosives fell into the wrong hands, the consequences would be unimaginable."

Moreover, these things don't belong to this era, she can't change history.

Dugu Cheng nodded, "Without these, this king can still win battles. Xi'er, just rest assured."

Feng Lingxi responded and, with Du Gucheng, learned about the situation of the stolen explosives that day. The first to discover the incident was a soldier guarding the ammunition depot. Hearing the sound of the explosion, he rushed over and saw someone transporting explosives. He shouted loudly, and General Sun led people to chase after them. Those people dropped several bombs, forcing them back, and then carried away the explosives. According to the way they detonated the explosives in the cave, over two hundred explosives were transported away. The stolen amount was very large, posing a great threat to them.

"Fourth Sister, what exactly is this explosive Why does your face turn so pale when you hear about it"

Feng Yu Mo had noticed since he started following her that, because of this explosives incident, the Fourth Sister's face hadn't shown a smile. That worried expression made him puzzled. He kept it bottled up for a long time, and finally spoke out.

“The bomb is a weapon I invented, capable of fighting hundreds with one. Its killing power is particularly great; just one bomb can kill hundreds of people. If it falls into the hands of someone with malicious intent, if they manufacture more bombs to use in warfare, it would be no problem for them to conquer the world.”

Wind Ling Xi's explanation shocked Wind Yu Mo, "Fourth Sister, since this explosive is so powerful, why does the Empress Dowager still want you to retrieve the treasure Shouldn't she just take your explosives directly"

Feng Yu Mo's words reminded Feng Ling Xi, if Tai Empress knew she had explosives, she definitely wouldn't let go of such a good weapon. And there have always been the Tai Empress' eyes here, could it be that the person who stole the explosives this time was someone from the Tai Empress

"Yu Mo, you just reminded me, the one who stole the explosives is very likely someone from the Empress Dowager's side."

Feng Lingxi's beautiful eyes flashed with a cold light, "Like this, you now go and inform your sister-in-law. Tell her to have him follow Cen Taizi's lead in his investigation. I will notify the Yao clan people to conduct a covert investigation. This way, things will be quicker."

The Yao people are easier to hide in the city than the government finds them.

"I'm coming right away."

After Feng Yu Mo left, Feng Ling Xi rode out of the city on Purple Star, heading straight for the county seat of Linxi County. Along the way, Feng Ling Xi's appearance in Linxi County caused a stir. The people were overjoyed at her return, cheering and celebrating. In the midst of the jubilation, Feng Ling Xi caught sight of a figure, who, upon seeing Feng Ling Xi looking at them, turned and ran away. Feng Ling Xi jumped off her horse and chased after them.

Even if you dodge today, you can't dodge for your whole life.

Feng Lingxi quickly caught up to her, grabbing her arm.

This person, wearing a veil, looked at Feng Lingxi with tears in their eyes.

"Find a place, I have something to tell you."

Feng Lingxi looked at the innkeeper across from her, watching her tearful eyes. Feng Lingxi's heart was heavy with unease. When she had left before, she hadn't expected to meet her here now. She hoped the other woman would return to her side instead of hiding away.

"I don't know what to say to you."

Then let me tell you.

Feng Lingxi held her arm, refusing to let go. Seeing her nod, he took her to the opposite inn.

After sitting down, Feng Lingxi reached out to lift the veil from her face, but she stopped him with her hand.

"Don't look."

"What are you afraid of" Feng Lingxi looked at the veil covering her face, "You said you kept this scar to avenge yourself, but where have you been all this time Have you forgotten your great revenge"

"I haven't forgotten."

With a venomous tone, Bi Xiang said, "I hate him with all my being, I want to kill him so badly, but I can't bring myself to do it. I don't know why."

"Have you seen Dugu Xiu"

Feng Lingxi hurriedly asked, "Do you know where he is now"

Bi Xiang looked at Feng Lingxi, her eyes complex, and after a while, she nodded slightly.

"He was kidnapped by me. I thought about killing him many times, but I couldn't do it. My master was right, I'm a failed assassin, I don't deserve to be his disciple."

"Master"

Feng Lingxi looked at the arsenic, "When did you have a master I don't know."

"After you fell off the cliff, my master took me away. He taught me martial arts, gave me the ability to take revenge, but I couldn't bring myself to kill Dugu Xiu." Bi Shuang looked at Feng Ling Xi, the complexity in her eyes made Feng Ling Xi ache.

"You've fallen for him again"

"I fell in love with my master, but he told me that there was no future for us this lifetime because he, like me, hated someone deeply but couldn't bring himself to kill her."

Bi Shang looked at Feng Lingxi and sighed softly, "Do you think I'm stupid, pathetic Knowing it's impossible, yet still liking him"

"I don't understand, since you like your master so much, why can't you bring yourself to harm Dugu Xiu"

Arsenic took out a hairpin, “This was found in Dugu Xiu's arms, this is my hairpin. He always kept it next to his heart. Dugu Xiu told me, he always had me in his heart.”

If he truly had you in his heart, he wouldn't have tried to poison you again and again. Arsenic, are you truly naive or just pretending This is Dugu Xiu's scheme; all he wants is to survive. I'm not afraid to tell you, recently, he married Yao Fei Fei, a traitor from the Yao clan, as his sixth consort. For Yao Fei Fei, he didn't hesitate to defy the Empress Dowager. He loves Yao Fei Fei, not you.

Just because of what Dugu Xiu said, she let him go. How could she be so foolish Dugu Xiu had already lied to her countless times!

I don't have any desire for revenge now.

砒霜 looked at 風淩兮, "I came here today just to see you from afar, knowing that you are still alive, I am very happy. However, I will not seek revenge in the future, I will stay by my master's side, take care!"

Feng Lingxi watched her get up and leave, then got up to stop her.

"Dugu Xiu Tell me, where is he now"

Arsenic turned to look at her, "You said you had something to tell me, but you actually just wanted to know Du Gu Xiu's whereabouts, didn't you"

Feng Lingxi looked at the bitterness in Bi Xiang's eyes, she didn't quite understand why she asked like that. If she hadn't said that Dugu Xiu was in her hands, she wouldn't have known at all.

"Master was right, after all. Your kindness towards me is just a way to use me." wouldn't be safe either."Don't worry about that now, I'll give her medicine."Feng Ling quickly walked to the entrance of the cave and, looking at the weeds beside her, pulled a large handful, crushed...
