Heartless Phoenix Queen - C188
The next day, no one could have expected that a fierce wind would blow from all directions, bringing with it endless amounts of yellow sand. Under normal circumstances, even if there were to be a war, they would have to cancel the agreement between the two countries. The Purple Garden looked at the yellow sand outside and said to Feng Lingxue who had come over, “There’s too much yellow sand outside. The wind is too strong, so it’s not appropriate for us to travel. I don’t mind staying in the Eastpan Kingdom for one more day!”
“To be honest, my wife said, the reason I came this time was to tell her that we must leave, not to mention that I promised the two generals from the Northern State of Yue, I also promised her that you must deliver it today, and it is impossible for me to keep my word. Secondly, our East Peak Kingdom has never reneged on our promises, and I, Feng Lingxue, am no exception!”
Zi Yuan saw how he became a blockhead again. Feng Lingxue continued, “Princess, don’t worry. Although there is a lot of yellow sand outside, I have prepared a sedan for Princess, so you definitely won’t feel any wind or sand outside. In addition, I will bring more people with me to ensure her safety.”
The Violet Garden saw how serious he sounded, and on top of that, in someone else’s country, she was indeed unable to eat and rest properly every day. Thus, she agreed to his request.
This surprised Zi Yuan a little, but she could see that Feng Lingxue was very resourceful in this matter. He only wanted to let her see the sincerity of the Empire of Dongping so that she wouldn’t talk too much into the ears of the King and that she could protect the Kingdom of Beiping. However, Zi Yuan was very happy to accept this kind of etiquette.
However, before she got on the carriage, she looked at the dozens of black clothed men, she ordered the person beside her to call Feng Lingxue over, and said in a low voice, “This time, none of them can go with us, as long as you and I as well as this palanquin are fine.”
Feng Lingxue was very surprised, “Reporting to the imperial concubine, they are all ordered to protect your safety, Feng Lingxue can use her life as a guarantee, they definitely have no ill intentions towards the imperial concubine, and they will listen to my arrangements!”
“You think too much, Feng Lingxue. You should know that even though Xi Li is now a vassal state of Beiyue, as a medium country, it is inevitable that he is not convinced by his subjects. Xi Li is not like many people in the country who start to study and abide by the customs of Beiyue, and they want to take advantage of this chaos to make a bigger war. Yesterday, you placed me under house arrest, and Beiyue came here with almost half of their troops. If it were any other time, I would not be afraid of them. However, this time, there is simply too much yellow sand.
After hearing what Zi Yuan said, Feng Lingxue sincerely admired this woman even more. Not only did she have a unique aura, she had such thoughtful and meticulous questions.
Ziyuan ordered, “Now, follow my instructions and let them take an empty sedan chair and walk down the road! Moreover, it was extremely loud. And the two of us will take the small road and try our best not to make any noise! ”
Feng Ling Xue cupped her hands: “Everything will be done according to the princess’ wishes!”
Soon, everything was ready. Amidst the bustling noise of the gongs and drums rising into the sky, many soldiers of the East Pingguo Country carried an empty sedan chair out. The sedan was already placed on top of a rock as Zi Yuan had intended, so even the bearers of the sedan didn’t know that Lady Zi Yuan was not in the sedan. They set off in a vigorous manner, heading towards the direction of the State of Northern Yue.
After everyone had left, Feng Ling Xue rode a horse, and Zi Yuan sat in a palanquin as they slowly walked along the small path. Originally, Zi Yuan also wanted to ride a horse, but she really wasn’t used to sitting in a palanquin. “However, the wind was too strong today, and there was too much yellow sand. Thinking about her skin, she decided to endure the sedan!
The Violet Garden felt that this arrangement should not be unexpected and was more at ease as she sat in her sedan, thinking about things. She thought that she should return and tell the King to temporarily forgive Feng Lingxue’s life. It would not be that easy for him to forgive his life. Furthermore, the reason why he was allowed to live was so that he could use him to snatch the Eastern Ping Kingdom!
She still wanted to think of how she could manage this Western Paradise.
She knew that the people of Xilai were very angry. If their leader had not been ambushed that day, they would never have surrendered in the Northern State of Yue! Furthermore, there was a difference between the Western Kingdom and the Northern Ping Kingdom.
She knew that the wind was too strong and that the whole palanquin was twisted. Furthermore, the direction they were going to the Northern State of Yue happened to be towards the wind, so it was very difficult for them to move. Although Feng Lingxue was riding a fine horse of the Eastern Ping Kingdom, and he himself was using a lot of strength to supervise the horse, the situation still did not look good!
The Violet Garden flicked a glance at him and didn’t forget to provoke him. “What, you can’t pull it out anymore, Marquis Feng?” “I, Zi Yuan, am in a bad mood. If I don’t get sent to Bei Yue State in time, then I really won’t be able to help Marquis Feng!”
Feng Lingxue apologized repeatedly, “Lady Ziyuan, I also don’t know why the wind is so strong today. I really put a lot of strength into it, I know Lady Ziyuan’s kung fu is excellent, and she also has all kinds of superpowers and abilities. I wonder if you would be willing to come down and help me.”
Without waiting for Feng Lingxue to finish speaking, Violet Garden immediately jumped out with a ‘shua’ sound and extended her hand to pull the sedan. However, the horse was probably frightened because it refused to move forward. This was the war horse gifted to him by the King. In the past, no matter how sinister the military circumstances were, it would still gallop forward without any hesitation. This time, it was only a gust of wind, how could it not use force?
Zi Yuan also noticed that it was the problem with the horse. She suggested that the two of them should stand in front and pull the horse, and that they should wait for it to take a few steps forward before daring to take a step forward. Thus, the two of them each pulled the rope on the horse’s nose, walking towards the front of the horse and exerting their strength together.
The two of them struggled a little, but the horse was almost able to lift the whole palanquin. Fortunately, Zi Yuan’s superpower martial arts was very good, so she used a great amount of strength to pull the rope on the horse, forcing it to be rich. Finally, the horse was pulled forward, one step at a time.
The two of them smiled as they flew through the yellow sand. However, before their smiling faces faded away, Zi Yuan suddenly felt that she had lost her center of gravity as her feet hovered in the air. She shouted in surprise. His entire body actually fell down.
Feng Lingxue hurriedly tried to hold her hand, but the superpower she released just now had not disappeared, and when Feng Lingxue came into contact with her, it gave him a great suction force. Feng Lingxue could not control it and followed the Purple Garden down. A few seconds later, both of them fell to the ground.
After an unknown amount of time had passed, when Feng Lingxue finally woke up, she felt very hungry, and her body was in prick pain. He quickly looked around and saw that Zi Yuan was also here, but her expression was surprisingly dignified.
“He hurriedly got up, but he discovered that his bones were hurting.” Lady Violet Garden, where did we fall!? Am I unconscious? “How many days has it been?”
Lady Violet Garden said indifferently, “You’ve been unconscious for two days.”
“Then what’s wrong with us? Don’t you want to go out? Why don’t you look a bit flustered. ” For the first time, Feng Ling Xue felt that she was less like a man. Zi Yuan was more like it, and women should panic and say that they were scared, shouldn’t men actively think of ways? It seemed like Zi Yuan really wasn’t an ordinary woman, he thought.
However, he didn’t know if they could still be saved. He only felt that the atmosphere here was strange, especially bleak. It was as if there were many souls floating around!
“Where are we? “Were we really discovered by the people from the west? Did they set up a trap here?”
“You are too responsible. The people from Western Paradise are not that smart, and if they were so smart, they would not have thought to ally with you and deal with the Northern State of Yue.” If Xi Li’s men were to attack us, they would be dealing with that empty palanquin on the road. They wouldn’t have thought to come here! ” Zi Yuan finally answered Feng Lingxue’s question!
“Then where are we? Why are we unconscious for two days? “Miss Zi Yuan, are you alright? Why do you look so different from usual!” Feng Lingxue’s face was filled with anxiety, but he was no longer as free and unrestrained as he used to be. In fact, he was truly afraid, not to mention that it was very possible that he would starve to death in this cave that had just shown a bit of light, even if he successfully got out, he might not be able to save his own life. He had promised Bei Yue to send his wife back to the country on time, otherwise, there was very little chance that he would be able to keep his life. Earlier, Lady Violet Garden had said that he had been unconscious for two days — did she not mean that he had already broken his promise with Bei Yue? In other words, he was destined to die now?
“What we fell into was a hunter’s cave. I just found traces of animals falling into the cave, as well as nets and some clips. It’s just that we weren’t caught in the clips, or else our limbs would have been damaged!” According to common sense, a hunter should come here to inspect the cave in one day. However, he didn’t come yesterday, which meant that this place was either an abandoned cave or the wind outside was too strong. But no matter what the possibility is, no one will come to discover us. I have been checking this cave all day yesterday, although there is a faint light here and there is a little air, but the cave is too deep, the walls are hard, and we cannot climb out at all. We can only wait for outside for help.
The more Feng Lingxue listened, the more despair he felt. Was he going to wait here for his death? His ambition had yet to be fulfilled, and the mission given to him by his close friend had yet to be completed. Even if he did not think that far, he had still not achieved what he had promised Bei Yue State.
He lowered his head in silence. Suddenly, he abruptly raised it again. “Lady Ziyuan, I just woke up a moment ago and don’t quite understand the situation here. Perhaps the fall was due to something more severe. I want to know, is there no other way? Is there no one else here besides the hunters? “
