Chapter 1428: Smoke and Fire Part 249

, allowing him to hold her as she drifted off to sleep.Dugu Cheng didn't ask her, and she was grateful for that. After all, she didn't know how to explain her origins to him. He trusted her, and that..."Don't bull**, we don't have a father."

Feng Siyu patted Feng Siqi's small head, his voice full of warning. This little adult's tone made Feng Siqi feel wronged, but she didn't dare to argue back.

Feng Siyu always acts like an adult when he gets serious, so Feng Siqi doesn't dare to cause trouble.

"Master, we're back."

Wind Ling Xi jumped out of the carriage, lifted the curtain, and Feng Si Yu and Feng Si Qi came down. The siblings saw that their mother's face was unchanged, they looked at each other, and hurriedly helped move things.

"Grandpa, we're back."

A white-haired old man with a gentle smile walked out of the wooden house. He wasn't tall, but he approached them with a happy demeanor, looking at Feng Lingxi and her things, his eyes twinkling as he observed the three of them.

"Siyu Siqi, is it fun down the mountain"

"Fun."

The siblings shouted in unison. The next second, the old man lunged at Feng Siyu with a palm strike. Feng Siyu, small and agile, dodged to the side, using his sister's body as leverage to spring onto the old man's shoulders. He grabbed the old man's head and giggled uncontrollably.

"Grandpa, you attacked me."

"You little brat, you've made quite some progress in your martial arts."

"Grandpa, I want some too."

Feng Siqi grabbed Feng Siyu's foot, clinging to him and wanting the old man to carry her. The two little ones instantly became one, Feng Lingxi carried things down and put them away. The old man walked over and looked at Feng Lingxi, "Girl, I heard that you heard someone inquiring about you when you went down the mountain today"

"Every year there is inquiring, nothing special."

Feng Lingxi said lightly, as if it wasn't her business at all. This attitude made the old man's face darken.

"Five years have passed, and you're still not planning to leave the mountains There's nothing left for me to learn here."

Feng Lingxi was amused by her master's words. Looking at her master's serious expression, she couldn't help but chuckle.

"Master, are you planning to drive us three—me, my mother and child—down the mountain"

"It's not that we need to rush down the mountain. Master also wants to go down and have some fun. Now Siyu and Siqi are so grown up, if you don't come down, they won't know what the world outside is like."

Feng Lingxi heard her master's words, and her eyes dimmed.

"Master, do you think I should go down the mountain"

"Wan'er is almost eight years old, isn't she I remember you saying she would become the chieftain of the Yao clan at ten. Don't you want to spend two more years with her" He brought her back initially unaware of her identity, only knowing that she had medical skills and could inherit his mantle. Later, he learned about Feng Lingxi's background and understood her situation.

When Feng Lingxi mentioned Wan'er, her body stiffened slightly. After five years, what she missed the most were Wan'er and Xiao Li. She didn't know how they were doing now. Back then, Luo Li had taken Xiao Li away, and Wan'er followed Dugu Cheng. He had said he would treat them well. Now, five years have passed, and she didn't know if he was really as good as they said.

"Master, would you like to walk with me"

The old man smiled and asked, "Are you supporting me"

"Of course, I'll take care of you for life."

Master was like her reborn parents. She truly treated him as family. Back then, she always said that her master was a hidden master, and unexpectedly, she was right. After five years with him, she had already treated him as her own flesh and blood.

"Alright, you can keep me around forever then, since your cooking is so good anyway."

The old man looked at Feng Lingxi with a smile, he really wouldn't feel at ease if she didn't follow him down the mountain.

"Grandpa, when are we going down the mountain"

Feng Siqi hugged her grandfather's neck and coquettishly asked, "Grandpa, did you find my missing doll" Feng Siyu looked at her mother. Ever since her mother went down the mountain, she knew about the outside world and hadn't smiled as much as before.

"That depends on your mother."

Feng Lingxi touched her daughter's head and smiled, "When we finish tidying up here, we'll go down the mountain."

"Mother, will elder sister accept us if she sees us"

Feng Siyu suddenly asked, his small handsome face full of worry. His mother rarely spoke about his elder sister, but just now when his grandfather was talking, he saw the longing in his mother's eyes. He knew that his mother must be thinking of her sister, but their existence was a secret they kept from everyone. Would they be accepted

"Yes."

Dugu City, I, Fenglingxi, am coming back. Are you all ready

All the things you did to me back then, now that I'm standing before you, you might have many children, but I also have Siyu and Siqi, and she has Wan'er too.

Chen Wangfu

Du Gu Cheng stood with his hands behind his back in the courtyard, gazing into the distance. Luo Qinyi walked in. Over these years, she had followed her master, watching him relinquish military power and gradually establish his own influence in secret. However, what pained her most was still her master's frail body.

"Master, we haven't confirmed yet if the woman from Xi Gu Guo is indeed the Queen. I want to go there personally."

"Lu Nian has arrived. This king wishes to see him."

Dugu Cheng changed the subject, "You arrange it. And now that Wan'er has gone to Yipinxiang, you should have Ye Xi follow her. Don't let anything happen to Wan'er."

"My lord, rest assured, the county princess will be safe."

In this capital city, who dares to provoke Miss Wan She defied the imperial edict and still wasn't punished. With the Emperor and Empress Dowager supporting her, even a princess wouldn't necessarily have the upper hand against her, let alone these street ruffians.

"Has Luoli arrived in the capital"

Luo Qin'yi hummed softly, "The emperor has been unwell recently, always coughing. The Prime Minister has searched the world for famous doctors to treat him."

"The King of Reputation has endured for so many years, they have been fighting for so long, now it is time to decide the winner."

Du Gucheng's tone was flat. He had come to the capital and watched their intrigues for days. If he hadn't surrendered his military power, he would have been one of them. But this King Yu's ability was indeed a little stronger than Emperor Yuan Zhao's. Back then, Empress Cen poisoned Emperor Yuan Zhao, although she cured him, it still damaged his foundation. After several years, his body couldn't bear it anymore and started to have problems.

"The General Zhen Guo has been out of the capital these days to visit his aging colleague who is returning home. They say the old general's health has been failing lately, and he may not have much time left. So, he went back to be with him."

Luo Qin Yi's words pulled Dugu Cheng's thoughts back to when he was with the old general. Now that he thinks about it, he really owed General Feng an apology. He had promised to take good care of Xi Er, but now, how could he face the old man

"My lady, you cannot enter."

Sounds of commotion came from outside the door. Dugu Cheng heard footsteps and rushed out, only to see Wan'er striding in with an angry expression. Seeing Luo Qin'yi there too, her beautiful face was filled with coldness. Her tone was displeased as she said to Dugu Cheng, "I'm here to tell you, I'm going out to find my mother. Now that I've grown up, I'm leaving the capital today. You're not allowed to stop me."

Dugu Cheng heard that Wan'er was going to leave the capital, his expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly said, "Wan'er, you are still a child, you..."

My mother has news, I have to leave for a bit. Whether you agree or not doesn't matter, I just came to let you know today. If it weren't for my uncle insisting she tell him, she definitely wouldn't have told him.turned 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 fac...
