Chapter 310: Seizing Power 65
Only by letting Li Shang feel Bai Xiadie's hatred for him could he stop pursuing this matter.Li Shang nodded, "I'll listen to you. Can we go back now The civil and military officials are all waiting....Where are you headed
Feng Lingxi pointed at Dugu City, "You ask him, did he take me out"
Huangfu Qingyun listened to Xi'er's slightly coquettish tone, his brow furrowed. Dugu Cheng smiled, "Go see where you fell off the cliff, I wonder if His Royal Highness would be willing to lead the way"
"Alright, I promised to take Xi'er a while ago but never had the chance. Why not today then"
Huangfu Qingyun asked Li Nuo to prepare a carriage, and the three of them got into the carriage and headed straight for the bottom of the cliff.
As soon as the carriage left the city, a group of black-clad men followed it. They trailed behind it until they reached near the bottom of the cliff.
"Could the prince's rescue of Xi'er from that cliff have been more discreet"
Dugu City suddenly asked, raising the curtain of the carriage to look out the window, his dark eyes profound.
"There are forests all around, a large meadow below the cliffs, and a lake. What do you think this is for"
Feng Lingxi also joined in the fun, "Duguxing, are you thinking of going hunting"
"Since you're here, hunt a few wild animals to take back."
Dugu City glanced outside, and there were quite a few people who followed him. If he hadn't made arrangements in advance, I'm afraid he would have been defeated here today.
Huangfu Qingyun saw Dugu City staring intently outside. He casually lifted the curtain and looked at the shadowy figures lurking behind the trees in the mountains. His eyes narrowed.
"What are you looking at"
Feng Lingxi saw that Huangfu Qingyun was looking outside, and hurried over, but Huangfu Qingyun stopped her.
"Xier, sit down, the road ahead isn't easy to walk."
Wind Lingxi, hearing him say that, hurriedly sat up straight and looked at Dugu City watching outside. From the side view, his face wasn't bad looking either.
"Here we are."
The carriage came to a stop. Huangfu Qingyun stepped down, reaching out to help Feng Lingxi. However, Dugu Cheng had already taken the lead, supporting Feng Lingxi down. After yesterday's events, Feng Lingxi was too tired to struggle, lest she make a fool of herself again.
Below the cliff, it was just as Huangfu Qingyun said. It was surrounded by steep cliffs, and they were now standing on a large patch of green grass. In the distance, there was a lake with crystal-clear water. Mountain springs flowed onto its surface, creating a beautiful scenery.
"This is where I first found Xi'er." Huangfu Qingyun led them to the spot where he had rescued Xi'er. Feng Lingxi looked up at the cliff face, she couldn't believe that she had fallen so high and survived.
獨孤城 looked at the height of the cliff. This was where Xi'er had fallen off the cliff before. There were many trees on the steep cliff, it seemed that these trees had saved Xi'er's life. If she had fallen directly, Xi'er would have been dead long ago.
"How can I recover my memory"
Feng Ling Xi suddenly asked a question, Dugu Cheng and Huang Fu Qing Yun both looked at her. Seeing her staring at the cliff face, she walked in front of her, "Xi'er, when it's time to recover, it will naturally recover. Don't think about it, lest you get a headache."
Huangpu Qingyun soothed, looking at Xi'er like this now, he truly selfishly didn't want Xi'er to recover her memory. He felt that once Xi'er's memory recovered, he would have absolutely no chance.
"As His Royal Highness said, it's best not to dwell on it. There are benefits to having your memories unrecovered too."
Du Gucheng opened his mouth, his gaze fell on the bushes around him, estimating that there were also dozens of people who came this time.
"Dugu Cheng, you've been staring in that direction. What is there"
Feng Lingxi leaned in close to him, following his gaze, but saw nothing.
Just saw a few little rabbits, going hunting in a bit.
Dugu City cast a glance at Huanghu Qingyun. Their eyes met, and Huanghu Qingyun walked over to the carriage and instructed Li Nuo, "Go handle it, be careful."
Li Nuo left after acknowledging the request. Huangfu Qingyun returned to their side and, looking around, smiled and said, “Xi’er, the scenery here is beautiful. Let's go to the lake and catch some fish to roast and eat. We rarely get a chance to come out like this, so let's relax.”
"I'll go into the woods and hunt two grouse for lunch. We can eat right here."
Du Gu Cheng spoke, Feng Ling Xi immediately said, "Du Gu Cheng, I want to go hunting for mountain chickens with you in the woods too."
"Girls catch fish."
獨孤城 gently tapped her forehead, his voice full of affection, "The path in the woods is difficult to walk, you follow His Highness the Prince, I'll be back soon."
"Xier, let's go."
Huangfu Qingyun pulled Feng Lingxi toward the lake, while Dugu Cheng turned around, his eyes turning cold as he stared in the direction of the forest, walking towards the direction of the black-clad men.
Feng Lingxi trailed behind Huangfu Qingyun, but kept turning back to watch Dugu Cheng enter the forest. She was extremely downcast.
She wanted to follow Dugu Cheng to catch pheasants, but the fish were by the lake. She didn't like catching fish; it felt pointless.
"Huangfu Qingyun, and Dugu City, do you both think I'm in your way That I can't do anything"
"How could you say that If we disliked you, would we bring you out here"
Huangfu Qingyun drew out his dagger and gave it to her, "Here you take this. When I'm catching fish later, wait for me on the shore."
"Are you going to catch fish"
Feng Lingxi's eyes lit up, "I want to go into the water too."
"You wait for me on the shore, leave fishing to me."
Fei Ling's face fell, and she angrily said, "You don't let me follow when you fish, and you don't let me follow when you hunt mountain chickens. You won't let me do anything! What's the point of watching you if I can't participate"
Huangfu Qingyun was slightly taken aback, hearing her grumbling complaint. He quickly replied, "Then let's fish together."
Feng Lingxi only felt slightly happier, but her eyes still betrayed a hint of disappointment. In truth, she still enjoyed catching mountain chickens.
Dugu City walked into the forest, and the black-clothed man hiding in the darkness had already hid. Dugu City pretended not to know, searching for rabbits near them. After a few steps, he suddenly dodged behind a bush. The black-clothed man quickly caught up but didn't lose Dugu City. Just as he was looking, a figure suddenly appeared behind him, and a sword was placed on his neck.
"Who sent you to follow me"
Dugu City walked in front of him, his eyes sharp and staring at him. The man in black flashed his eyes, scanned the surroundings, and Dugu City directly wiped his neck with his sword pointed towards where he had just looked. The other party hurriedly dodged, avoiding a fatal blow, wanting to escape. Dugu City tapped his toes lightly, kicking the man in black flying to the ground with one kick, holding his sword at his throat, "Want to run"
"Don't kill me!"
The man in black spoke, his eyes full of fear, completely different from the previous man in black. Dugu City knelt down, pulled away his face covering, revealing a strange face.
How many of you are still here
More than a hundred people arrived immediately...
Before the man in black could finish his words, a dart pierced his chest with a whoosh. He spat blood, widened his eyes in disbelief, and glared at the direction from which the dart had been launched.
獨孤城 turned around, but there was nothing behind him.
Dugu Cheng rushed out, seeing Huangfu Qingyun and Xi'er by the lake hadn't encountered the black-clothed men. He searched the woods around them again, confirming that the black-clothed men had left before walking towards them.Pingxi was frightened. He hastily pleaded, "Empress Dowager, since things have come to this with the prince, please stop here. Don't let him die and become infamous.""If you dare to do it, you must da...
