Chapter 177: Yu Yunxi Was Questioned
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Nanyue’s troops outside the city gate were in chaos because they were without a commander.
Li Song and his men quickly drove them back to their military camp.
When Feng Yili and Yu Yunxi appeared, the people inside quickly opened the gate and a few people came out.
“County Princess!”
“Yunxi…”
When they saw Yu Yunxi in Feng Yili’s arms, all of them wore different expressions on their faces.
In the end, Shen Hezhi coughed lightly, pulling everyone back to their senses.
Yu Yunxi quickly jumped down from Feng Yili’s arms before she asked solemnly, “Have Young General Ying and the others returned?”
Qian Jiao stepped forward and replied, “County Princess, they’ve returned safely.”
“How’s General Han and the others?” Yu Yunxi continued to ask. “The doctors are treating them now. We don’t know what’s going on.”
“I’ll go and take a look,” Yu Yunxi said, frowning worriedly.
At this time, Shen Hezhi said, “Yunxi, you just returned. Let the doctor take a look at you. Take care of yourself first.”
From the moment the city gate opened and he saw her, Shen Hezhi knew that something was wrong with Yu Yunxi.
Yu Yunxi coughed lightly and said, “Qian Jiao, help me brew some medicine for internal injuries.”
Yu Yunxi knew her body well. As long as she rested, she would be fine.
‘The County Princess is injured?’
Qian Jiao was extremely anxious. She hurriedly nodded as she said, “Yes. I’ll go brew the medicine now!”
Qian Jiao had been by Yu Yunxi’s side for many years. Although her medical skills were not as good as those of Qian Jing, she and Qian Mei still knew some common prescriptions. For this reason, she did not need Yu Yunxi’s instructions on how to brew the medicine.
Seeing that Qian Jiao was about to leave, Yu Yunxi suddenly said, “Wait a minute. Brew a portion for the Prince Regent as well.”
‘The Prince Regent is also injured?’
Qian Jiao looked at Feng Yili suspiciously. Although she was unwilling, she still followed Yu Yunxi’s order.
“Yunxi,” Feng Yili called out.
With her back facing Feng Yili, Yu Yunxi said stonily, “Prince Regent, you don’t have to thank me. Since you helped me earlier, I’m only repaying your kindness.”
With that, she left to see Han Na.
Feng Yili’s gaze gradually darkened as he watched her leave. In the end, it seemed as though his eyes were completely overwhelmed by darkness. What he feared the most was that she would draw the line with him by repaying his kindness.
Shen Hezhi looked at Feng Yili and said expressionlessly, “I’m busy so I won’t accompany the Prince Regent. Please do as you please.”
Shen Hezhi had received a letter from his father earlier saying that Feng Yili was a guest of Xinan and that he could not be driven away. However, even if Feng Yili was staying in Xinan, it did not mean that he had to treat Feng Yili as a guest. Considering what Feng Yili had done to Yu Yunxi and Yu Junjin, he really wished he could kill Feng Yili.
After Shen Hezhi spoke, he flicked his sleeves and left.
The others were also angry at Feng Yili. They lowered their heads and quickly followed Shen Hezhi.
Soon after, Luo Xiuran and Liu Xiaolan emerged from the shadows.
Liu Xiaolan touched her nose awkwardly and said, “Eldest Senior Brother, I didn’t expect you to be so unpopular in Xinan.”
“He’s not the only one who’s unpopular! I’m also implicated because of him!” Luo Xiuran complained. Qian Qing and the soldiers in Xinan looked at him as though they wanted nothing more than to kill him.
Suddenly, Feng Yili spat out a mouthful of blood.
Luo Xiuran stopped complaining immediately and asked worriedly, “Yili, are you injured?”
Feng Yili only pursed his lips and did not reply. After a long time, he finally said, “I fought with Nan Xun earlier. His martial arts are completely different from what they were a few years ago. His martial arts improved extremely quickly, and some of his moves are very familiar.”
“They’re familiar?” Luo Xiuran frowned.
“It’s similar to the forbidden technique that Master mentioned to me back then,” Feng Yili said in a low voice as he shook his head.
‘What?’
Liu Xiaolan’s expression changed upon hearing this. He asked anxiously,
“Could it be… Junior Uncle?”
Their master had once said that there were some martial arts techniques in their sects that could increase one’s martial arts greatly in a short time. However, it would make one disregard even one’s family, and it could also turn one into a demon. For this reason, these techniques had always been taboo in the sect.
Ten years ago, their master’s junior brother was driven out of the sect because he had done something wrong. Before he left, he actually stole those cultivation techniques. For more than ten years, there was no news about him If Nan Xun really learned those cultivation methods, it was likely that it was taught by him.
Liu Xiaolan shook his head and said solemnly, “Those cultivation methods are a scourge…’
“Nan Xun was also seriously injured by me… Ordinary people won’t be able to recover in a short time…”
Liu Xiaolan quickly finished Feng Yili’s words. “If he’s able to recover quickly, then there’s no doubt that he has cultivated the evil technique!”
“Send a letter to Master as soon as possible, and inform him about this!” Feng Yili said seriously.
“Okay!” Liu Xiaolan nodded immediately. He knew that the matter was serious.
“Also, investigate the Third Prince of Beixiao,” Feng Yili said to Luo Xiuran.
Luo Xiuran’s eyelids twitched. He said in a strange tone, “Didn’t they say that the Third Prince was forced to come here because he’s not favored by the
Emperor? What’s there to investigate?”
“He’s not simple,” Feng Yili said in a deep voice as he shook his head.
Luo Xiuran tensed up when he heard this. If Feng Yili said someone was not simple, the other party must be very terrifying. He said solemnly, “Alright, I’ll get someone to investigate him as soon as possible.”
“Summon all of our people near Xinan. Xinan cannot fall,” Feng Yili said.
Luo Xiuran scoffed and said, “Oh, so you know how to help Xinan now? Then what were you doing before?”
However, when Feng Yili’s stony gaze swept over, Luo Xiuran quickly fell silent.
On the other side…
Yu Yunxi lifted the curtain and walked into the tent.
Han Na was seriously injured, and Doctor Qin was applying medicine for him. Seeing Yu Yunxi, Han Na wanted to stand up and bow.
“General Han, there’s no need to be so polite!” Yu Yunxi hurriedly said. Then, she asked Doctor Qin seriously, “How’s General Han?”
“He’s seriously injured. He has to recuperate after this,” Doctor Qin said, shaking his head.
“County Princess, I’m incompetent. Xinan needs people now, but I implicated Xinan,” General Han said guiltily.
“General Han, you don’t have to blame yourself. There are always variables and accidents on the battlefield. We’re already lucky that you returned safely this time,” Yu Yunxi said patiently. She wanted to ask a few questions, but seeing how injured he was, she dismissed this thought for now.
“General Han, please rest well. We’ll deal with the rest,” Yu Yunxi said before she left.
As soon as she walked out, she saw Ying Siyuan waiting for her at the door.
Ying Siyuan tried his best to control his emotions before he asked, “County Princess, the plan tonight seemed to be different from what was relayed to me…
Did you deliberately hide it from me? Do you suspect me?”
