Chapter 635: Riot of the Jade >

ul to the Mistress. Why did the Princess suddenly ask about this"Fei Lingxi shook her head. "It's nothing."Perhaps she had overthought it. Just as Xiaoli said, the third sister wasn't as deeply hidden..."My Queen, do you truly believe Shadow Six"

Feng Lingxi looked at Xiao Li's worried eyes and held up the letter, "This is the best proof."

Xiao Li understood and nodded, taking the letter out to find Yingliu. She instructed her to personally deliver the letter to the King and not let the King bring back any news. The Princess's actions were also a test of these Shadow Guards' loyalty to her.

This letter, Xiao Li specifically instructed, must not be let known by anyone, including the chieftain.

Whether Shadow Six can do it depends on her ability.

As shadow guards, they had the freedom to enter and exit the Yao tribe at will. It wasn't long before it became clear whether or not they were qualified.

Linxi County

After Dugu City's departure, Feng Yu Mo learned that Feng Ling Xi had gone to Yao Clan, regretting it immensely. He wished he had stayed by his sister's side earlier, so he could have accompanied her to Yao Clan to protect her safety. Now, filled with remorse, he could only anxiously wait here.

"Aman, do you have any news"

Dugu Cheng was looking at the few letters that Ye Xi had sent him. These were all from the imperial court, with a letter from his mother asking if he had arrived safely, and a letter from Empress Cen reminding him of things, as well as a letter from Dugu Yan telling him about affairs in the court.

After reviewing and replying to each one, Dugu City's most worrying thing was the news from his mother-in-law.

Xi'er returned to the Yao clan. Along the way, Li had personally witnessed his protective abilities. Now, he had to find Yue Mu and return her to the Yao clan as soon as possible so that she could reunite with Xi'er. This was the fastest way to resolve the internal turmoil of the Yao clan.

Amman had been there for about ten days, searching for news of the Lord every day, but still found nothing.

They had searched the perimeter of the cliff but found no trace of the Saint Lord. Aman even considered looking into the pond, but the recent heavy wind and snow had frozen it solid. Even if they could break through the ice, going underwater wouldn't be possible for more than a few minutes; there was no way to thoroughly investigate.

"Luo Li said the water tank might hold some secret, waiting for the wind and snow to stop. Then, this king will go with you all to investigate."

Aman nodded, her brow furrowed. "Your Highness, the environment under the water pool is not good. Aman can hold on for at most a moment."

"My lord, I have also tried it, just for a moment."

Ye Xi's face turned pale. "The water is bone-chillingly cold, all thanks to my internal energy keeping me going."

"Expand the search area. We need to search everywhere around the cliffs, including the foothills below. Every cave must be checked, we need a complete mountain-wide search."

Dugu City looked at Ye Xi, "We can't let any possibility go uninvestigated."

Ye Xi received the order and the next second, worry clouded her face.

"My Lord, with such a large-scale search, the surrounding tribes and nations might suspect our motives. Will this have an impact"

If the enemy does not move, then stop.

Du Gu Cheng looked at Ye Xi, “This king believes they wouldn’t dare to attack us before we make a move.”

"I'll arrange it right away."

After Ye Xi left, Feng Yu Mo hurriedly asked, “Brother-in-law, Yu Mo requests to go together for the rescue.”

Dugu City nodded, "You and Aman go together. You are more familiar with the surrounding environment. You can greet those tribes and see their reaction."

"Yu Mo understood, "I'll go prepare now."

After Feng Yu Mo stepped back, he left Aman there, silent.

"Your Majesty, A-Man has something unclear and hopes your Majesty can enlighten him."

Dugu Cheng replied, and A Man looked at him, asking, "Is the Holy Maiden really certain that Luoli can help her What if Luoli has other plans Has the Holy Maiden considered her own situation"

"So, Xier asked this King to return. The Yao clan isn't too far from here. If Xier is safe, she will definitely find a way to send a message. No matter what the message says, this King can go to support her."

Amman frowned, "If we return to the Yao clan, we'll be controlled. What then"

"In ten days, if there is no news, this King will lead troops to the Yao Clan."

獨孤城的眼中堅定，看著阿滿緊鎖的眉頭，“本王曾經和嶽母去過瑤族，知道瑤族的大致位置。”

He not only knew the general location of Yaozu, but also the secret to its entrance. Yue Mu had told him and warned him that unless necessary, he should pretend he never knew about it. After all, once he entered Yaozu, it would mean the Great Yuan Dynasty would be at war with them.

If the Yao clan really detained Xi'er, he wouldn't care so much. He would lead his troops to the Yao clan and start a war. As long as Xi'er was safe and sound, he would pay any price.

Aman bowed to him, "Aman thanks the King. If in ten days' time you truly intend to attack the Yao Clan, Aman will lead the way and avenge the Holy Lord."

Dugu City nodded, "You go rest first. You've been going into the water frequently these past few days, your body must be chilled. Rest well, the rest is left to me."

Amman took his leave, and Dugu City sat alone at the desk, looking over the maps of the surrounding terrain.

"My Lord."

General Li shouted at the door, and Dugu City called him in. Seeing Dugu City in the study, General Li stepped forward, "Your Highness, I heard that you are going to send troops to search the cliff under the Yaozu forbidden land, is that true"

獨孤城擰眉，狐疑地看著他，“李將軍的訊息倒是靈通，本王剛和夜希說完李將軍就知道了。” Dugu City frowned, looking at him suspiciously. "General Li's news is quite swift. I just finished talking to Ye Xi about General Li and you knew."

"It was Yu Mo who said that."

General Li remained unfazed, his gaze fixed on Dugu City. "Your Highness, do you know where that location is It's at the intersection of several tribes. If Your Highness sends troops to search the mountains, such a large-scale search will certainly alert them. Have you considered the consequences, Your Highness"

"This king merely searched the mountains for information, I did not cross any boundaries. General Li, do you find this inappropriate"

Dugu Cheng stood up, pondered for a moment, and said seriously, "General Li, I know you have always been loyal to me and have always put my interests first. However, searching the mountains is for Xier's mother, my stepmother. This is a decision I have made."

"My lord, I believe it would be more efficient to have the late queen's portrait painted and presented to the tribal king for inquiry. If they haven't found her, they certainly wouldn't dare speak up."

"General Li wondered how many tribes Lady Yue would have visited if she were still alive."

Dugu City shook his head. "Mother Yue is the Holy Lord of the Yao clan. Even if she falls into the hands of the tribe, they won't let her go. General Li, don't forget that the Yao clan's treasure is now coveted by everyone in the world. If they capture Mother Yue, would they tell us"

General Li was speechless after what Duguling said, he didn't even think about it.

I just felt that the tribe couldn't offend the prince, but what the prince said was right.

Whoever obtains the sacred master of the Yao clan is equivalent to obtaining the treasure of the Yao clan. Would anyone fear the King and hand over the sacred master

"It was my oversight, but don't these tribal people know what the Sacred Lord of the Yao clan looks like"

Dugu Cheng looked at General Li, "As of today, how many people in the world don't know who the Saint Master of Yaozu is, and how many people don't know that Xi'er is the saintess of Yaozu" This year, the frequent appearances of the Yaozu, coupled with internal turmoil, probably meant that everyone in the world knew the secrets of the Yaozu.oken, and this prince remembers every word."Dugu Yu patted Dugu Cheng's shoulder and looked at him with satisfaction, "After so many years apart, Fourth Brother has really grown up. There's no need fo...
