Chapter 438: Revenge 82
't even look at him"Your Highness, don't waste your effort. Do you really think I don't know your ulterior motives"She dared not forget, it was he who designed her marriage into the Prince's residence...The next morning, Feng Lingxi and Dugu Cheng went to the border of Tianqi together. The scouts sent out reported that they had seen Feng Yixuan come out from the border and return to the camp. Feng Lingxi asked Dugu Cheng to stay and watch Feng Yixuan, while she took Feng Yumuo to see Bai Xiadie.
Feng YiXuan was very cautious. After returning to the camp from Tianqi Kingdom, he saw Dugu City in the camp and remained indifferent to him.
"Fourth Prince, I am a subordinate of the Sixth Prince. Since you were sent by the court to rescue him, why haven't you searched for his whereabouts"
Before Dugu City could ask about his destination, Feng Yixuan struck first, accusing Dugu City.
"How could General Feng possibly know that this King didn't send anyone to look for the sixth brother Shouldn't General Feng be the one giving me an explanation Why is the sixth brother missing, and why isn't General Feng at the camp"
Du Gucheng took out the commander's seal. Feng Yixuan had already heard that Du Gucheng came here this time to take over the position of the Sixth Prince, but he didn't expect him to bring the commander's seal with him.
"Naturally, I would go to find the Sixth Prince."
"What happened to it"
Feng Yi Xuan was about to get angry, but when he met Du Gu Cheng's calm and deep black eyes, he took a breath and said calmly, "No."
"Then do you know where the sixth brother disappeared to"
Dugu Cheng's earnest expression made Feng Yixuan's suppressed anger rise. "Your Highness, the Sixth Prince disappeared from camp. When I received the news, there was no trace of the Sixth Prince left."
"This king and the imperial court have heard that the Sixth Prince was ambushed and taken captive."
Du Gu Cheng's words caused Feng Yi Xuan's face to darken, "Reporting to the court naturally needs to be said this way. The Fourth Prince should know the identity of the Sixth Prince."
“The Wind General should also know your own identity and this king's identity.”
Feng Yixuan frowned, "What does Fourth Prince mean by that"
"When I received the news that my sixth brother had disappeared, a batch of weapons went missing from Linxi County. General Feng, do you know anything about this"
Feng Yixuan's eyes darkened slightly as he looked at the suspicion in Dugu City's eyes. He raised an eyebrow and asked, "What do you mean by that, Fourth Prince This subordinate doesn't understand. How would this subordinate know about the lost weapons from Linxi County"
"Your Majesty is just curious to ask, after all, Your Majesty has just arrived and is still getting acquainted. General Feng here serves as the left arm of the sixth brother, I wonder if he could help Your Majesty retrieve the lost weapon"
Feng Yixuan's handsome face darkened. “My mission is to find the Sixth Prince. As for the Fourth Prince’s lost weapon, when we find the Sixth Prince, I will ask him first and then help retrieve it later.”
Looking at his expression, he did have a bit of an arrogant air about him. It's just a pity that following Dugu Xiu, he actually colluded with the Tianqi nation.
Has General Feng ever heard of the Tianqi Kingdom
Feng Yi-xuan looked at Dugu Cheng's eyes, which had become even darker. "How did the Fourth Prince suddenly ask about this The Tianqi Kingdom is a small country on the border. The Fourth Prince should be more clear than I am."
"Of course, this King knows about the Heavenly Revelation Nation. However, I'm unfamiliar with it, so I'd like to ask General Feng."
"As I have just arrived, my knowledge of the Heavenly Revelation Kingdom is limited. Forgive me, Fourth Prince."
Feng Yixuan's tone softened, sensing something unusual. He felt that Dugu City seemed to be deliberately testing him. Thinking of the masked man in black who had fought with him yesterday, that person's figure was unlike Dugu City's. He was much thinner than Dugu City, and the man had been injured by his slash on his arm, so it couldn't have been Dugu City.
Regardless, Feng Yixuan's heart was filled with a layer of caution.
Dugu City saw his expression change and explained, “This king was just asking. You're considered this king’s brother-in-law.”
"The last general doesn't dare to accept."
Feng Yixuan's arrogance and disdain in his voice made Dugu Cheng's eyes even colder. This Feng Yixuan and Feng Yumeng were indeed two very different people. No wonder Xi'er brought Feng Yumeng with her and treated Feng Yixuan so coldly. This bone-deep disdain of Feng Yixuan was incompatible with them, just like Dugu Xiu and Dugu Yan.
"Fourth Prince, this subordinate heard that the Fourth Princess has also arrived this time. I wonder if this subordinate could have the honor of seeing her"
"Of course, we're all family, there's no need to be so formal." Dugu Cheng's words caused Feng Yixuan's expression to darken slightly. He didn't know what Dugu Cheng meant. Calling him brother-in-law like this, saying they were family, he didn't believe for a moment that Dugu Cheng truly saw him as his brother-in-law.
Feng Lingxi's actions towards his siblings, he kept them all in his heart. If it weren't for Feng Lingxi, their mother wouldn't have died, and his second sister wouldn't have died either.
Then, thank you, Fourth Lord.
Dugu Cheng glanced at the time. "In a while, return to the palace with this king for a meal. Rest at the mansion tonight."
"The Fourth King still asked the Fourth Princess's opinion before making a decision. The subordinate was afraid that the Fourth Princess wouldn't agree with me."
"How could that be I'll have someone tell her right away. Don't overthink it, you're her brother. Xi'er wouldn't want to miss seeing you."
Du Gu Cheng's words made Feng Yi Xuan hard to refute. He began to wonder if Feng Ling Xi had told Du Gu Cheng the truth, otherwise how could he still address him as "big brother-in-law" Or was it that Du Gu Cheng had been testing him all along
Dugu Cheng didn't know what he thought of Feng Yi Xuan, but he did need to let Xi'er know in advance so that Yu Mo could avoid him and not be discovered by Feng Yi Xuan that Yu Mo was by Xi'er's side, knowing that Yu Mo was the person from yesterday.
After receiving the news, Feng Lingxi asked Feng Yumo to stay in his courtyard and told him not to go out so as not to run into Feng Yixuan and expose his identity.
As for Feng Yu Mo, Feng Yi Xuan was extremely unfamiliar with this younger brother. To be honest, he had bullied him a few times when they were young. After moving away, he never paid any attention to him again and even almost forgot that such a younger brother existed.
Feng Lingxi ordered a table of delicious delicacies to entertain Feng Yixuan. Such treatment made Feng Yixuan somewhat uneasy, fearing it might be a Hongmen Banquet.
“I have met the Fourth Princess.”
This was the first time Feng Yixuan had a direct confrontation with Feng Lingxi after she recovered from her illness. Looking at the former fool who used to be bullied by him, now exuding an elegant and captivating beauty, Feng Yixuan finally understood why she had become someone both the Emperor and the Sixth Prince wanted to get rid of.
Such a woman is both temptation and nightmare.
If you can't have it, then it must be destroyed.
"Fifth younger brother, you don't need to be so polite. We're all family, just call me Fourth elder sister."
"This subordinate dares not."
Feng Lingxi's words fell, and Feng Yixuan's distant attitude towards her caused the smile on Feng Lingxi's lips to gradually turn cold.
"Fifth younger brother, are you looking down on me, your fourth elder sister"
Feng YiXuan hurriedly explained, "This subordinate had no such intentions. The Fourth Princess is the legitimate daughter of the General's Manor, born to Madam. This subordinate is merely a concubine's son from the General's Manor. There is a difference between legitimate and illegitimate children, and this subordinate does not dare to overstep."
"What's the point of all this, Fifth Brother You are still the eldest son of General's Mansion, even if you are a illegitimate son. Now you are the Left Hand of His Royal Highness, Sixth Prince. This brings glory to our family! If Father knew, he might even bestow your mother with the title of Madam. Wouldn't that make your status as an legitimate heir secured Moreover, Eldest Sister is now the Imperial Concubine, the most favored by the Emperor. The Empress position is also within reach. Why does Fifth Brother have to be so humble"ch a thing happen""Mother, Wan'er was always with you before she disappeared. Don't you remember her at all"Dugu Cheng was really stifled. Even though this Wan'er was mischievous, her mother couldn't...
