Chapter 415: Revenge 59
's ears."Even this much decorum the Fourth Princess lacks, kneeling before the Empress to speak."Feng Lingxi turned her head to look at the stout matron, whose fierce and menacing appearance seemed to..."No, I won't agree to that." Several of the house leaders who were hiding outside the door walked in, glaring fiercely at Feng Lingxi, "The Grand Leader's life is more important than ours, he can't die. If you absolutely must have someone go out to take the blame, just arrest me."
"That's right, we're just lowly lives, we're not afraid of death."
"I won't let him die. I'll have him join the army. I guarantee he won't be treated poorly and he'll even be able to get revenge, wouldn't that be good"
Feng Ling Xi's words surprised Bai Mo Bai, looking at the seriousness in her eyes, it didn't seem like a joke.
"The Fourth Princess wants me to join the army"
Feng Lingxi nodded, "Join the command of the Fourth King, but rest assured, I won't mistreat you, nor will I bury your talent."
Bai Mo blushed, "Fourth Royal Consort, you jest. I am but a commoner, where could I possibly have any talent"
"Master Bai, please don't be modest. Since the establishment of Mount Village, its current scale is a testament to your strategic brilliance. Master Bai, I believe your wisdom shouldn't be overlooked here. As long as you are willing to join Lord Four King's command, your great revenge can be avenged."
"Master, I think what the Fourth Princess said makes sense. You're wise and experienced, you'll surely make a fine strategist."
The Scarface man readily agreed. Seeing Feng Lingxi's attitude, he also thought this was feasible.
Bai Mo Bai fell into deep thought. It wasn't that he was unwilling to join the army, it was just...
"Master Bai, is there anything else you are reluctant to say"
Feng Lingxi inquired about the reason behind his heart's desire, Bai Mo looked at her honestly, and said, "To be frank with the Fourth Princess, when Mo Bai joined this tribe, he swore that he would never join the army in his lifetime, so…"
"Joining the army is a matter of choice. If it were Dugu Yan who asked you to join, don't say you wouldn't agree; even I wouldn't agree. You joined the army only to protect those you want to protect, and Heaven will not blame you for that."
"Sir, the Fourth Princess is right. We should observe the situation. Isn't the Fourth Prince the person you admire most Joining him would be better than fighting against the imperial court."
"You admire Dugu City"
Feng Lingxi looked at Bai Mo, seeing him nod, a twinge of jealousy arose in her heart. Was this Duguo City so formidable
"Should I introduce him to you"
Wind Ling tentatively asked, Bai Mo looked at her like this, and said with a smile, "Fourth Princess Consort, please allow me to consider this matter for a while. You can stay here peacefully for now. I know that the Fourth Prince's army is approaching soon, but I still have time."
"It's okay, even if he comes, I promise to give you time. I will convince Dugu City to give you time."
Bai Mo bowed his hands in thanks and said to Feng Lingxi, "Your Highness, the Fourth Royal Princess may do as she pleases. Bai Mo has something to attend to beforehand."
Windling saw him leave and instructed the scarred man to take care of her, waving at the scarred man, "Is the head of the Bai family so stubborn"
"The head of the house is hiding something in his heart, it's not really about being stubborn or not. Just wait for him to think about it, and it will become clear."
Feng Lingxi stood up, "Take me to the village. Maybe things will become clearer after a walk."
Xiao Li hurriedly followed the princess's footsteps. What she just said so loudly was clearly for Bai Mo to hear, but she didn't know if he could hear it.
"Your Highness, do you think Bai Da-jia will believe your words"
Little Li looked at the scarred man following behind her. He was actually quite kind to them, not spying on them because of their identities, but waiting far away instead.
"That he could speak to me so plainly and honestly means that he is trustworthy. The imperial court sent Dugu Cheng here to suppress bandits. If a real fight broke out, even if the stronghold had some chance of winning, there would be casualties. Perhaps Bai Mo Bai didn't want these casualties, which is why he came to ask for my help."
Feng Lingxi looked at the people here. They lived simply, men farming and women weaving, living a simple life, but also a solid one.
Although this is a counterfeit village, it's indistinguishable from a real one. Bai Mo Bai has allowed them to find a sense of belonging here. If the government really attacked this place, these commoners would surely give their lives to protect their homes. This is exactly what Bai Mo Bai worries about and finds unbearable.
"Your Highness, this Bai Dangjia is rather pitiful, but if he could truly be of use to the Lord King, he would be a fine military strategist."
Feng Lingxi nodded. Without any real skill, Bai Mo wouldn't have been able to build such a large-scale counterfeit operation in just a few months. Moreover, with the ability to confront the government, let alone ensuring the well-being of the local people, even those training outside the village weren't inferior to the soldiers in the army camps.
"If the Lord knows we've arrived here, I wonder if he would attack our mountain stronghold"
Xiaoli became worried, "Once we start fighting, Bai Dangjia will definitely think we did it on purpose."
"No, Dugu Cheng wouldn't make a rash move, or else he would have acted by now."
When it comes to Dugu City, Feng Lingxi's eyes soften considerably.
"He arrived yesterday and hasn't attacked the stronghold yet. He's probably investigating the situation there. Perhaps he even knows about our presence here. I believe him."
Feng Lingxi looked at the villagers training ahead, watching the large knives in their hands, and walked towards them.
"I heard the imperial court has sent troops to attack us. Tomorrow, if the big boss doesn't retaliate, we'll lead a team of soldiers down and kill their leader."
Feng Lingxi's brow furrowed slightly, killing the leader was indeed a bold move.
"If the head of the household knew what you were thinking, he'd probably be very disappointed."
Feng Lingxi walked up to the man, looking at the rough-looking man in his thirties. When the big man saw Feng Lingxi, he sized her up carefully, "Who are you We've never seen you before"
"You've been training here all this time, so naturally you haven't seen me. But I noticed you the moment I arrived."
Feng Lingxi watched them, these villagers, their training no less skilled than the soldiers in the camp. She found herself growing more and more interested in Bai Mo Bai.
"Fourth Mistress, who is she"
The rough-looking man saw the Scarface man walking over and immediately asked, his eyes filled with suspicion and impatience.
"Hurry and get help, Miss Bai is in labor."
A woman in the distance shouted, and immediately the faces of the people in the village changed, hurriedly running to tell each other. Feng Lingxi watched them all rush towards a wooden house not far away, curiously looking over, who was this white girl
"Your Highness, should we go take a look"
Feng Lingxi nodded and just as she walked to Bai Gu's room, she heard the midwife inside scream in terror, "Quickly go find the master of the house! Miss Bai is having a difficult delivery, quickly call for the doctor..."
"I'm a doctor, I can help."
Feng Lingxi heard about the difficult labor and hurried forward, but was stopped by someone.
"Don't cause trouble, if Miss Bai gets into any danger, you won't be able to handle it."
Feng Lingxi looked at the villagers coming and going, explaining, "I can really help..."
"Big boss."
Bai Mo arrived quickly, Feng Ling Xi saw him and hurriedly said, “Master Bai, I know how to heal. Let me go in and take a look, every moment counts for two lives.”"Aren't you tired I could sleep in a little later, but you still have to...""It's alright, I can't sleep well without you by my side."Feng Lingxi's heart warmed instantly at Du Gu Cheng's words. She n...
