gye promised me one request.""Okay."Dugu Cheng readily agreed without hesitation. Feng Ling Xi glanced at him, the smile on her lips widening, "Your Highness is so generous, truly worthy of being the..."May I have a word with you"

Du Yue looked at Feng Ling Xi, pondered for a moment, and her expression turned serious.

"Good."

Feng Lingxi gestured for him to rise and pointed to the chair beside her, "Have a seat."

Du Yue looked at Dugu City. Seeing that he didn't stop her, she walked over and sat down on the chair, looking at Feng Lingxi, "How did you know this thing is called a bomb"

"First, tell me, is this drawing yours"

"No."

Du Yue's answer made Feng Ling sigh and wrinkle his brow. If it wasn't Du Yue, then who else could it be

"Who gave you these blueprints"

"The Crown Princess hasn't answered my question yet." Du Yue wore a serious expression, unlike his previous demeanor.

“I’ve always known, and besides, I know what the bomb recipe is.”

Feng Lingxi looked at Du Yue, "Can you tell me now who gave you these blueprints"

“He’s the military strategist of our village. He gave me this.”

"Military advisor" Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu City. Could this military advisor be the person she was looking for However, the workmanship of this bomb wasn't simple, and the materials required needed to be refined. It seemed like she really needed to meet this military advisor.

"What is the name of your military advisor"

"Your Highness, the Crown Princess, then you tell me first, how did you know the formula for this bomb"

Feng Lingxi suddenly smiled. This Du Yue was quite smart, indeed not willing to suffer any losses.

"Let me tell you this, your military strategist knows about this, I know eight out of ten, and what I know, your military strategist may not necessarily know." Feng Lingxi's confidence made Du Yue scoff.

"The Countess doesn't know the military strategist's abilities. Don't talk nonsense here."

"Whatever you think, I'm very interested in your strategist."

It seems that there are quite a few people in the world just like her. When we meet, it's fate. Maybe we can even recruit her to our side.

"Xier, what are you going to do with him"

Dugu City looked at Du Yue, wanting him to surrender was impossible, he could only temporarily imprison him and wait until the bandits were eradicated before making a decision.

"Lock him up, we'll deal with him after we take the village."

Du Yue, hearing that Feng Lingxi was really going, hurriedly said, "Princess Consort Chen, are you really not afraid of this bomb I saw it with my own eyes, this thing is extremely powerful, it's not something martial arts can escape. Even a mountain would be destroyed by it."

"Thank you for telling me, but I know about this thing very well."

Feng Lingxi waved the drawing in her hand, strode out of the tent, and Du Yue shouted behind her, but was dragged away.

"Xi'er, do you really understand this bomb"

“It’s roughly similar to how gunpowder is made, just with different formulas and processes. After all, this dangerous gunpowder isn’t something I’m professionally trained in, so I wouldn’t know the specifics. I only have some understanding from books. Compared to gunpowder, it’s more powerful.”

"If we were to attack by force, wouldn't it be very dangerous given that this is more powerful than gunpowder" Let me know if you have anything else you need translated!

Feng Lingxi nodded, not concealing anything from Dugu City.

“This thing is like gunpowder, if it’s really made, it can take on thousands or even tens of thousands with ease, it just depends on how he does it.” I hope no experts came here, otherwise, facing her as an enemy would truly be a headache.

"Xier, do you have a way"

Feng Ling stopped her steps, “The only way now is to lure this strategist out and see who he really is. I have to meet him face-to-face and find out what kind of person he is.” Only then can she confirm his identity. If he's like her, able to speak, there might be a chance for a turnaround.

"It won't be easy to get him out."

Dugu Cheng's expression was solemn, he couldn't let Xi'er take risks.

Feng Lingxi revealed a confident smile at the corner of her lips.

"Of course I have a way."

"Xier, come here and listen. If it's dangerous, this King won't let you go."

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu Cheng's furrowed brows and smiled, "Do you know why Xiao Mi and I hit it off immediately It's because we both came from the same place. If this strategist is like me, he would definitely want to get to know me, naturally, we wouldn't be enemies."

"What if he's ambitious"

"At least when we met, he wasn't."

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu Cheng's worried expression, "Even if he has ambitions, I can retreat unharmed. Don't forget, I am still a doctor. A weak woman like me, venturing out alone, naturally needs to carry some self-defense medicine."

"You still don't trust me," Du Gucheng said. "Are you going to go yourself tomorrow"

"You lead the troops, but I won't put myself in danger. Besides, I can't go tomorrow. I still need to make some gunpowder as a gift for me and the military advisor. Otherwise, how could I meet him"

Feng Lingxi's smile widened, she didn't feel any fear because of this military strategist's bomb at all, on the contrary, she was a little excited. If it really was her fellow villager, maybe she could take him for herself, and if not, she could at least make a friend.

Then how do you want this king to help you Just speak up.

“Make sure the location of the bandit stronghold is confirmed, and keep watch on the information from the herders. Don't let any news leak out, and make sure nothing suspicious happens there. If anything changes, notify us immediately so we can make arrangements.”

"These I have already arranged."

Feng Lingxi nodded lightly, and she knew that Dugu City would handle it well.

Glug...

Her stomach rumbled, reminding Feng Lingxi that she hadn't eaten dinner. Thinking of the fragrant roasted lamb leg, she couldn't help but swallow her saliva; her hunger intensified.

"Hungry"

Feng Lingxi nodded and met Dugucheng's gaze, awkwardly smiling. "I came too hastily just now, so I didn't eat."

Dugu Cheng held her hand, his eyes gentle, "Come on, let's go get something to eat. We'll go back later."

"Aren't you going back quite late"

Feng Lingxi ran to catch up with Dugu City's footsteps, a little looking forward to spending the night in the military camp. This time back to the mansion to sleep, she didn't think much about it.

Then we won't go back, I'll have Yexi go back and relay the message later.

Feng Lingxi hummed in response, following Dugu Cheng behind him. Looking at his handsome back, her smile widened.

"Sister, brother-in-law, come over and eat together."

Windfeather Ink greeted, just as he came out, he saw Gu Li and the soldiers roasting a whole lamb for him. He was about to go find them to eat together when he saw them arrive.

"The food in this camp isn't bad, is it"

Feng Lingxi walked to the campfire and sat down. Gu Li saw her and happily cut a piece of meat for Feng Lingxi. "Princess Chen, this is the lamb that the herdsmen gave us today. They're grateful that we helped them get rid of—"

"Gu Li, you're so talented! Yu Mo is truly a lucky guy."

"Your Highness, I've taught him so much! I taught him weaponry, light footwork, and even how to barbecue. I'm incredibly skilled."

"Yes, yes, yes, you're the best. Eat quickly, and then go to sleep after."

Feng Yu Mo almost wanted to worship her as his master upon hearing Gu Li's boastful tone.swept away by the current."Your Majesty."The people on shore were startled by the scene before them. They hurriedly sent someone over, but they discovered that Feng Yu Mo and Ye Xi had also been swept...
