Chapter 654: Yao's Chaos 24

ess is unwell. Bring the food to her room. This King will accompany the princess to eat inside."Sniffing the scent of medicine in the room, Dugu City looked at the various bottles and jars on her desk...The little girl was very talkative and quick-witted.

Dugu Cheng looked at the smile on her face and continued, "Then do you know if anyone has been rescued recently Or if there have been any strangers"

"I don't know that. In winter, it snows more often. My mother goes to the riverbank to wash clothes, and my father goes into the mountains to hunt."

"Just set up some traps to see if there's anything in the mountains, and get something for the New Year."

The farmer chuckled and explained, looking at Dugu City, "Don't you guys have any friends I could go ask around for you."

"Could you please ask around and see if anyone else was saved About a month ago, was there a woman, maybe in her thirties or forties, who was rescued And also, in the past few days, was there a man, in his twenties, who was rescued"

"I'll go ask for you right away."

The farmer rushed out. Dugu City looked at the environment in this mountain, it was indeed hidden. If Yue Mu had also arrived here, she should have been saved like them. Whether they were still there or not, at least knowing they were alive was good enough.

"Young master, shouldn't we go back and report first, so our family won't worry"

Night Xi whispered, "Although the princess isn't in Linxi County, I'm afraid the news has already reached the Yao clan."

"Rest for a day, and return tomorrow. Don't get separated." Feng Yu Mo's eyes were inconvenient, he had to safely bring him back, couldn't have anything else go wrong.

Ye Xi responded, looking around at the surroundings, and said, "Master, I will go check the situation nearby."

"Be careful."

Dugu Cheng helped Feng Yu Mo back into the house. The girl hurried over to help as well, her eyes sparkling with a lively spirit, unlike the usual farm girls who were shy and timid. She possessed a refreshing aura.

"Brother, you're going back tomorrow, I can lead the way for you. Anyway, I'm going to the city these days to buy some things for the New Year. I'll take you with me so you don't get lost on the way."

What is your name

The little girl smiled sweetly, "My name is Tian Xiaomi, my brother just calls me Xiao Mi."

>

"I'll be fourteen during the Chinese New Year."

Tian Xiaomi looked at Feng Yu Mo, "Brother, his eyes aren't convenient. When we go back tomorrow, we can take a shortcut, but my father and mother don't allow me to walk that way. They say it's dangerous there, but I know how to avoid the danger and get through. I usually take shortcuts into the city myself, which saves two hours."

Tian Xiaomi smiled, while Dugu Cheng frowned slightly. This farm girl knew quite a bit.

"What danger"

Tian Xiaomi glanced in the direction of her mother and whispered, "That shortcut passes by a cliff. My mother said it's dangerous there and wouldn't let me go that way, but the path is easy to walk."

Dugu Cheng looked at Tian Xiaomǐ's serious expression, it didn't seem like a lie, but he also kept his guard up.

"It's okay even if it snows"

Of course, that's how it is on top.

Tian Xiaomi gestured, explaining that the terrain on top of the cliff blocked the path, making it difficult to cover the road when it snowed. Dugu Cheng understood roughly. Tian Xiaomi also told him about a few forks in the road and where they led, all very clear.

Dugu City was very impressed with this little girl's ability to discern things. It was rare to find such a clever girl.

"You're so smart, you could go work for wealthy families in the city after this. You shouldn't waste your talent here."

"Mother wouldn't allow it, saying my mouth is too direct and I easily offend people."

Tian Xiaomi looked at Dugu City, a mischievous smile on her face, "Brother, you're from a wealthy family, right Is there anyone you could introduce me to, someone a bit more generous I can do anything."

Dugu City nodded. "Come back with us tomorrow, and I'll introduce you to my wife. She'll probably like you, such a clever little girl."

Tian Xiaomi nodded happily and quickly bowed to Dugu City, "Thank you, brother."

"Brother-in-law, don't tell my sister about us, so she doesn't worry."

Speaking of his elder sister, Feng Yu Mo's eyes were full of worry. If she knew he was like this now, she would probably scold him to death and might even forbid him from joining the army in the future.

"Go back and have the doctor take a look. Your eyes can't afford to be in trouble."

Feng Yu Mo responded with a nod and fumbled his way toward the seat. Tian Xiao Mi hurriedly stepped forward to help him up. Dugu Cheng thought for a moment, then said, “You keep an eye on him for me, I’ll be back in a bit.”

Tian Xiaomi responded with a sound, looking at Feng Yu Mo, and asked in a low voice, "Brother, you need to remember to clean your eyes every day, don't neglect it."

Feng Yu Mo responded and sat at the table, fumbling to want to drink water. Tian Xiao Mi hurriedly poured him water, handing it to him, and reminded him, “Brother, the water is a bit hot, be careful.”

Feng Yu Mo said thank you, and took the water to his lips, feeling its temperature. Although this Tian Xiao Mi was their savior, he still felt uneasy about her, afraid she might do them harm.

Over the past two days, Tian Xiaomi's parents have turned out to be honest and hardworking farmers. However, Tian Xiaomi herself doesn't seem like a typical naive country girl. She's been particularly enthusiastic towards them, a level of enthusiasm that feels a bit excessive.

Du Gucheng walked around outside, coming to the river where he had been saved before. Looking around, he saw that the river was nestled in the mountains, a long one, likely flowing upstream and being pushed ashore downstream by the water currents.

I couldn't believe that beneath the pool was another exit, leading here. And the dozens of farmhouses here probably had no idea about this secret. Since the pool is located under the forbidden cliff of the Yao clan, I suspect there's a connection between the underwater mysteries of the pool and the Yao clan.

Fortunately, the weather is good today and most of the snow on the ground has melted. Tomorrow's journey should be more comfortable.

Nightingale returned to the Tian family. When she saw the King, she hurried forward.

"Master Wang, how did you get out"

"Go for a walk, what do you see"

Ye Xi pointed around, "As we can see, we are surrounded by mountains on all sides. My subordinates aren't quite sure how we got here, but it must have something to do with that river."

"This king walked around the riverbank, it must have been the current under the pool that swept us to this river. We were pushed ashore by the water. This king remembers before he fainted, his body being swept out by the rapids."

"The subordinates are like this too, it seems there's no other way back here, we can only go out their way."

Dugu Cheng nodded, "Pack up, go back tomorrow."

Ye Xi responded and the two returned to the house. Feng Yu Mo and Tian Xiao Mi didn't know what they were talking about. Tian Xiao Mi was very lively. Seeing them come back, she stepped forward to greet them, "Brother, I'm going to help Mother with the cooking."

Looking at her leaving, Dugu City asked Feng Yu Mo, "What did you talk to her about"

"Brother-in-law, has she left"

Feng Yu Mo's voice was low and cautious, "Sister-in-law, do you think this Miss Tian doesn't seem like a daughter from a farming family I feel like she might be deliberately getting close to us.""Since I've agreed to go with you, I'll do everything I can. Your Highness, please rest assured.""Your Majesty believes in you."Looking into his doting eyes, it seemed like he believed everything she...
