Chapter 1430: War Smoke Rises (Part 251)

"Mother, what do you want from me"獨孤雁擰眉，看著風淩兮的眼神帶著幾分質疑，卻見風淩兮勾唇一笑，“皇上若是想要知道，不如親自去問太後好了，她老人家不讓我告訴第三個人，恕我難從命。”Dugu Yan's face grew increasingly grim. She couldn't believe that her mother was now keeping..."Good, as long as you don't bother her."

Ye Xi's heart suddenly tightened when Luo Li spoke those words. She replied with a smile, "Thank you, Chief Luo. I understand."

This is the disparity of identity. Back then, neither he nor Xiaoli was able to be together. How could they possibly be together now

Wan'er and Lu Nian met outside the city. This time in Beijing, Lu Nian stayed for the shortest amount of time. He originally planned to finish his business and meet Dugu Cheng, asking about his sister's whereabouts. However, he learned that his sister was in Xigu Kingdom. Lu Nian immediately decided to turn back and head to Xigu Kingdom.

This trip following Lu Nian to Xigu Kingdom, Wan'er didn't think about it so much either. And of course, Lu Nian was happy to bring Wan'er back. If his sister knew Wan'er had appeared, she would definitely come out to see her, and he could find his sister.

Five years have passed, and just thinking about seeing her younger sister made Lu Nian's heart pound with excitement.

On the mountain path, a horse-drawn carriage was moving at a leisurely pace. The driver was an elderly man with white hair but a spirited appearance, humming a tune cheerfully. On either side of him were two delicate dolls, about four or five years old.

Keep walking along this mountain path, and once you leave the path, you'll arrive at Xigu Kingdom's capital. Their plan is to first circle Xigu Kingdom before heading out.

"Grandpa, Siyu wants to pee."

Feng Siyu shouted, "I drank a big bowl of water when I went out this morning, and now I have to pee urgently."

The carriage screeched to a halt. The old man jumped down, and Feng Siyu hurriedly followed suit. He glanced around and loudly shouted to the back, "Don't peek!"

"Who wants to watch you."

Feng Siqi retorted with a face full of disdain, hurriedly grabbed the dry rations and ran into the carriage, shouting, "Mother, should we rest here for a while and eat some dry rations before continuing"

"Alright then."

Feng Lingxi got out of the carriage and sat down under a large tree nearby. It was hot weather, and it was cool under the trees. After resting for a while, she would continue on her journey. She hoped to find an inn to stay at before dark.

"Well hello there, you little one. You're quite a looker, aren't you"

Feng Siyu had just finished relieving himself when he heard a laughing voice beside him. He looked up to see the scar-faced man standing in front of him, and screamed in fright. Just then, a figure emerged from the grass, brandishing a large knife and walking towards them.

"Siyu."

Feng Lingxi heard the sound and ran over. Seeing dozens of men in front of Feng Siyu, each holding a large knife, approaching them with malicious intent, Feng Lingxi's eyes widened. These men's eyes lit up when they saw her, some licked their lips and stared at Feng Lingxi with lustful eyes.

"Mother, I think we've run into bandits."

Feng Siyu stared at these bandits, unconsciously taking a step back. There was no fear in his eyes, but rather a strange excitement.

"Brother, did they see you peeing"

Feng Siqi ran over and, seeing the bandits, took a glance and seriously counted them.

"There were only twenty-seven people, not enough to go around."

Feng Siyu gave her a glance and said, "Shut up and get out."

"You two little ones, you're so pretty, you're sure to sell for a good price."

"Second brother, this woman is really pretty. Take her back to the eldest brother as his main wife."

"No way, no way. The boss said we can't rob women back, or we'll get beaten up."

Feng Lingxi listened to their back-and-forth arguments, her brows furrowed. Were these people really robbers

"Robbery!"

The man with the scar leading the charge bellowed, his broadsword resting on his shoulder as he glared menacingly at Feng Lingxi and her two children. "Hand over your valuables!"

Feng Lingxi guarded Feng Siyu and Feng Siqi behind her, watching them warily. "What if you don't surrender"

"Don't... Don't... Don't think... that... you... you... because you... look... good looking..."

“Shut up!”

The fat man next to the scarred man stuttered, unable to finish a sentence for half a day. The people behind him all shouted at him in unison, and even Feng Lingxi couldn't stand it anymore, this stutter was too severe.

"Mother, are all robbers like this"

Feng Siyu crossed his arms, a puzzled expression on his small face. His demeanor, that of a little adult, and his innate nobility made people want to look at him more than once.

"Bandits are mostly driven to a life of crime out of necessity, and few are truly evil."

Feng Lingxi said lightly, her eyes sweeping over the crowd, "This mountain road is sparsely populated. If you rob here, you won't even get a single victim in ten or half a month."

"You...how did you...know."

The fat man stammered, and the group of people behind him watched Feng Lingxi curiously. They hadn't gotten anything in a long time, after all.

"I really don't know how stupid your boss is to bring you bunch of fools along."

"You're not allowed to slander our boss. Bind her up and take back their carriages."

As soon as the Scarface finished speaking, he was struck by a dark force and sent flying. He landed hard on the ground, rolling like a dog eating **.

"You bunch of scoundrels, you don't even look at who you're robbing, think I'm already dead"

"Grandpa."

Feng Siyu and Feng Siqi saw the grandfather walking over, and hurriedly ran to him, pointing at the group of bandits in front of them. "They're so stupid, they don't even know how to rob!"

"It's really embarrassing for the robbers, you two kids are better than them."

The brother and sister nodded, then heard the old man say, "Show them a demonstration."

Feng Siyu's small body leaped up, swiftly taking down the Scarred Man. With a leap, he landed on the big tree before them and declared, "If you don't want to die, hand over all your wealth!"

"You...you..."

Feng Siqi looked at the frightened group of people, crossed her arms, and said with a look of disdain, "What are you, what are you Hand over your things, or I'll let you die."

The Scarface man crawled up from the ground, stunned by the aura of the two little kids in front of him. He couldn't believe his eyes; they had actually robbed him, those two children!

Feng Ling leaned against a large tree nearby, taking shelter from the heat, watching the two children without any worry.

After all, the master had taken them both to do things like this before. She was used to it, even a bit of "birds of a feather flock together," and occasionally participated as well.

"What are you standing there for Are you going to die"

Feng Siqi shouted loudly, her tiny body darted back and forth in front of them like the wind. When she returned to her original position, several money bags appeared in her hands, which she waved in front of them. However, the look in her eyes was genuine disgust.

"It's so poor, and you still have the face to come out and rob"

"Our purse."

Someone shouted, and the gang of bandits hurriedly reached for their money pouches. There was none left! They saw Feng Siqi waving their money pouch in her hand—wasn't that theirs

"It's not even as much as my allowance, what a joke! Here you go!"

Feng Siqi threw the purse in her hand to the scar-faced man. A figure flew over, quickly catching the purse and landing gracefully, dressed in white, like a celestial being. saying this, she felt a pang of guilt."Do you have a sense of your own worth"Feng Yixuan looked at Tian Xiaomi, "She doesn't hit or scold me every day. She's afraid that if I leave, no one will work...
