. She was still planning how to get Feng Yixuan out, it seems Dugu City took the lead before her."The Lord is truly foolish, not telling his Lady Wife about such a thing. How could she know of his eff...Feng Ling Xi grabbed his arm, her gaze sweeping over his wounded limb. "I'll go out with you," she said, "you protect me."

Dugu Cheng wanted to refuse, because her words behind this sentence, one before and one after, went out, the scene outside the camp was chaotic. Dugu Cheng looked at the black-clothed men fighting, seeing that they were ruthless in their attacks, killing dozens of soldiers. He snatched the long sword beside him and flew towards the black-clothed men.

Feng Lingxi took quick steps forward, but was protected by the soldiers beside her, "Your Highness, be careful."

Looking at Dugu City fighting with the men in black, Feng Lingxi saw him showing his strength for the first time. Seeing his agility and sharp swordsmanship, she stopped her steps. He was truly a war god, these men in black were no match for him.

"Encircle them all."

Ye Xi arrived with her people and joined the fight, quickly subduing the black-clad men. Feng Lingxi saw Dugu Cheng stop fighting, and seeing his arm sleeve stained red with blood, she quickly stepped forward, grabbing his arm, "Your wound has opened."

Dugu City glanced at the wound on his arm, his sharp eyes swept over the captured black-clothed men, and he questioned in a stern voice, "Who sent you to assassinate this king"

Just as Ye Xi was about to step forward and pull the face coverings off their faces, the men in black had already bitten their tongues and committed suicide, all of them dead.

"My Lord, he committed suicide by biting his tongue."

Ye Xi stepped forward and tore off the black cloth covering one of the black-clad men's faces, allowing the soldiers to search him. They found nothing on him.

"It seems they have no intention of returning alive."

Feng Lingxi walked up to the man in black and reached out to rip open his shirt. There was a swastika tattoo on his left chest. Dugucheng saw this and motioned for Yexi to check if the other men in black had such a tattoo. As he expected, each of the men in black had such a tattoo.

"Strange, how could someone use religious text for a tattoo What does it mean"

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu City doubtfully, "Do you know the origin of this tattoo"

"This is the first time I've seen this, just now Xi'er said that this is religious writing"

Dugu City's eyes were suspicious. This symbol was a religious text, which he really hadn't paid attention to.

“This word is pronounced 'wan'. In ancient times, many tribes used it as a talisman, symbolizing the sun and fire. It meant good fortune and eternity. These people in black all have this tattoo. If I'm not mistaken, this should be an organization related to fire.”

An organization can't be the sun, this tattoo is a religious symbol, so it must be fire, but what does it mean She wasn't sure.

"Ye Xi, are there any evil cult organizations in the martial arts world that are related to fire"

"My lord, I have never heard of it."

Feng Lingxi stared at the man in black for a long time, "What if they weren't sent by the Great Yuan Dynasty at all"

"You mean spies sent by other countries"

Seeing Dugu Cheng's brows furrowed, Feng Lingxi was uncertain, "I'm just guessing."

"Your Highness, are you alright"

Xiao Li rushed over, grabbing Feng Ling Xi and checking her over. Seeing that she was fine, she finally let out a sigh of relief.

Where did you go

Xiao Li looked at the princess, her face full of grievance, "Didn't the princess order the maidservant to take care of General Sun"

"My bad."

Xiao Li glanced at the black-clad man on the ground, her eyes timidly scanning over Dugu City, "Your Highness, Sun's deputy general learned of the assassination and asked me to come take a look."

"Ye Xi, please clean up here and investigate if this swastika could exist in Aohua."

"Yes."

Yexi received the order and with a wave of her hand, the black-clad man's body was dragged away. Xiaoli couldn't help but glance at the tattoo on the black-clad man's chest and hurriedly said, "Wait a moment."

Looking at Xiao Li run over to check the tattoo, Feng Lingxi curiously walked up to Xiao Li's face, "Do you recognize this tattoo"

Little Li stood up and, looking at everyone staring at her, nodded.

"Go on in and speak."

Dugu City gave a command, indicating Ye Xi to handle matters outside. Feng Lingxi and Xiaoli entered the tent, having someone guard outside.

"Xiao Li, are you sure you saw that tattoo"

Xiao Li, upon being asked by the Princess, didn't want to hide anything from her.

"I once saw someone with this kind of tattoo in the mistress's room. Although it was just a glimpse, because the character was so strange, I asked the mistress when I was young. I remember the mistress saying that it was their family's mark."

"Imprint of the maternal family"

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu Cheng, seeing his eyes lost and confused. She was also puzzled.

"If these marks belong to the maternal family, wouldn't these black-clothed people be related to mother"

Maybe it's related.

Xiao Li's words stirred Feng Ling Xi's heart. Since arriving here, she had been lost in thought about how to find her mother, but she hadn't expected the appearance of these black-clothed men would give her a clue. It's just that if they were really related to her mother, then their assassination of Du Gu Cheng was possibly connected to her mother as well

"Xiaoli, what else do you know"

Dugu City pursued, seeing Xiaoli shake her head. He grabbed Feng Lingxi's hand and comforted, "Xier, since these black-clothed people are related to Yue Mu's family, let's follow the black-clothed people to investigate. We will definitely find news about Yue Mu."

Feng Lingxi responded and pulled Dugu City down to sit, "Let me treat your wound first. Xiao Li, go get some water."

Dugu Cheng saw Xiaoli leave, and then said, "Xi'er, are you doubting your mother"

"I just want to know, why would my mother's clan have such markings I never saw such markings on my mother when I treated her."

She had treated her mother's ailments many times, and she was certain that there were no such tattoos on her mother's body.

"Xiaoli said it was a mark from her mother-in-law's clan, perhaps her mother-in-law had hidden it."

Feng Lingxi shook her head, "This tattoo can't be hidden..." Suddenly, she thought of something, her eyes filled with disbelief, could it be that, did Mother really have such a tattoo on her body

Could it be that someone gave her medicine and hid this tattoo for her

"Xier, what's wrong"

Seeing her expression change abruptly, Dugu City hurriedly grabbed her hand. Feng Lingxi came to her senses and shook her head, “It’s nothing, I’ll help you apply medicine first.”

It seems she needs to investigate the origins of this Zi Xing. Perhaps when she finds out about Zi Xing, she'll also understand what this mark means.

“These assassins in black who came to assassinate this king certainly weren’t done by my mother-in-law. This king will find out the source of this mark, and we will surely find my mother-in-law.” Dugu City lowered his head and looked at Xi'er's worried face, comforting her. Feng Lingxi just responded, without speaking.

After bandaging his wounds, Feng Lingxi glanced outside. "It's getting late. You should rest early. You still have to go to Liu Xi County tomorrow."

Then you stay with this King.

Dugu Cheng held her hand, not letting her go out.

Feng Lingxi looked at the wound on his arm, then glanced outside. "I'll go and see about the arsenic, I'll be right back."response, Feng Lingxi fell silent. It seemed she had underestimated Dugu Cheng; this man was truly not someone to be trifled with.Upon returning to the Prince's Manor, Feng Ling Xi was informed of Fen...
