lord is inside. You go call him."Ye Xi responded, hurriedly entering the room. When she saw the man lying on the floor, her lips twitched, and she covered her eyes as she rushed forward, "Your Highnes..."Thank you."

Feng Lingxi looked at the soil in Lu Nian's hand, not knowing what to say for a moment. Thinking of his previous attitude towards him, he was still like this towards himself now, he felt guilty.

"It's getting late, you should get some rest. I still have things to do."

Lu Nian heard her concern, and the displeasure in his heart instantly vanished. "I'm not tired, it's you. You haven't rested all day. Eat something first. Let me know if there's anything you need help with."

Wind Lingxi glanced at the roasted chicken, "If you don't eat it, just have a piece. I'll finish what I'm doing in my hands, and then we'll be done. We don't have enough manpower here. Later, I'll discuss with General Zhen Guo and see if he can find more people to replace these clerks."

“Just leave the task of finding people to me. If you need manpower, I can find someone……”

"No, let him go. This is the Great Yuan's affair, and it is his responsibility to handle it. Don't involve your people in this; he has his own way of dealing with things."

Lu Nian nodded, "I hear you."

Feng Lingxi responded and lowered her head to finish the task in her hands. Lu Nian, on the other hand, was busy deboning the chicken. Once Feng Lingxi was done, they could eat.

"My Lord, we received a message from Master Lu. He says that there are not enough people in Tumu Town now, and the Princess refused to let him recruit help. However, the Princess has already given them medicine for the plague, and the medicinal materials are temporarily sufficient."

"Why no letter"

獨孤城 frowned, coming straight to the point.

Lu Gongzi said that because of the plague in Tu Mu Town, it was contagious and all passed through word of mouth.

獨孤城 nodded, looking at the imperial edict in his hand, "Keep an eye on things. If Tu Mu town needs any aid, support them immediately. Also, go to Yi Pin Xiang and see if Luoli and Li Wu Yan are still there."

"My lord, are you going to see them"

Dugu Cheng nodded. "There's something I want to ask them."

"Now, go."

Dugu Cheng tightened his grip on the imperial decree, a hint of coldness in his eyes deepening.

"Go and fetch Yu Mo. Tell him that this king has something important to discuss with him and ask him to return to the mansion."

Feng Yu Mo rushed back to Chen Wangfu only to find out Feng Ling Xi had gone to Tu Mu Town to treat the plague. He was incredibly annoyed that they had kept this from him, causing him to learn about it only now.

"Brother-in-law, why did sister go this time with Lu Nian but not me Does he think I'm useless"

Feng Yu Mo has been busy training in the military camp lately, hardly returning to Chen Wang Fu. By the time news reached him, it was already too late.

"See, I'm still kept here by her."

Du Gu Cheng looked at Feng Yu Mo's flustered expression and soothed, "Xi Er did this for a reason. This time I came to you to ask you to investigate something."

Hearing that a mission had arrived, Feng Yu furrowed his brow. "Brother-in-law, is something the matter"

Du Gucheng nodded. "The Emperor has ordered Xi'er to go to Tumuwzhen to treat the plague outbreak this time, and he also allocated 500,000 taels of silver and 500,000 dan of grain. On the way, they were robbed by a group of bandits at Fengpoao. Until now, these silver and grain are still missing. You should immediately lead your troops to suppress the bandits, retrieve the lost silver and grain, and escort them personally to Tumuwzhen."

"How could there be bandits in Fengpo'ao I remember going there to suppress them once before, it hasn't been that long. How could a new group of bandits emerge, even daring to rob the imperial army's supplies"

Feng Po Ao's Wind Feather Ink is aware of this place. He once went there to quell unrest. The terrain was remote, and coupled with previous floods and droughts, the area became impoverished. Many people were driven to the mountains and became bandits. However, after he subdued the bandits and reported it to the court, he received recognition. Now that bandits have resurfaced, especially those who stole food allocated by the imperial court to Tu Mu Town, these bandits are directly challenging the authority of the court.

"That's why I'm letting you go on this trip. Remember to be cautious and not act rashly when you get there. First, make sure you understand the bandits' situation before taking any action. Also, I will arrange for several vanguard lieutenants to accompany you. They have extensive combat experience and are familiar with various bandit suppression tactics. Learn from them."

"Thank you, brother-in-law. Yumo will definitely learn earnestly from these seniors."

Dugu City patted Feng Yu Mo's shoulder, "This mission is especially important, you must be careful and prudent, don't rush for success."

"Don't worry, Brother-in-law, Yu Mo understands. It's just my sister's side..."

When it comes to Feng Ling Xi, Dugu City's eyes carry a hint of worry.

"This king has people watching in Tumuzhen. Once there is news, this king will be notified immediately, and besides, with Lu Nian by her side and the Lu family protecting her safety, nothing will happen."

I'm not worried about that, I mean this plague. Sister, are you really confident you can cure it When I came back, I heard Yu Mo say that this plague is much more contagious than the last one.

Feng Yu Mo thought that his older sister didn't bring him, and felt a sour feeling in his heart. Before this, she always brought him everywhere, but now she just left without saying anything.

Xi'er said she was confident, so you should rest assured and go suppress the bandits. When you have suppressed the bandits, you can go to Tumuzhen to see her. She is much stronger than this king, she doesn't even let this king find her, otherwise she will be unhappy.

Feng Yu Mo, thinking about being able to visit his sister in Tumu Town after escorting the military supplies, was full of energy. Hearing this from Dugu Cheng, he spoke up to comfort him on behalf of his sister, "My sister doesn't want her husband to go, it is natural that she is worried about her husband's health. This plague is so terrifying, Tumu Town is not safe, and her husband is the foundation of Linxi County, he cannot have anything happen."

"Xi'er told this king that she was rescuing people in Tun Town. If she needed help, this king would be outside to assist her. She sought him out for help, and he would save her. However, if they were both in Tun Town, when the time came for them to seek help, there might not be anyone available." Having said that, Du Gucheng let out a heavy sigh.

"This is our current situation."

"My sister is right, everything should prioritize the big picture."

Dugu Cheng nodded, "This is the reason why this king is willing to stay and wait for her message. Her reasons convinced this king."

What about half a million soldiers If they were truly trapped in Tumuzhen, who would be willing to lend a hand

Feng Yu Mo clenched his fists, his eyes filled with determination.

"Brother-in-law, rest assured. Yu Mo will retrieve the lost grain and silver as soon as possible and personally escort them to Tumu Town to pick up my sister."

"Yǔmò, come here."

Dugu Cheng walked to the desk and sat down, writing a letter to Feng Yu Mo.

"Please keep this letter and, when you reach Fengpoao, hand it to the local county magistrate. They will help you upon receiving it."

Feng Yu Mo was full of doubts, "Brother-in-law, since I'm going to suppress bandits, why do I still need this county magistrate to help me investigate"

Dugu Cheng looked at Feng Yu's puzzled eyes, "You are still young now, and you don't understand many things in the officialdom. Although this king is now sealed as the King of Chen, everyone in the world knows that this King of Chen was exiled here to guard the border by the court. I am a former prince who has fallen out of favor. This king asks you to take this letter to the county magistrate of Fengpoao. He might help you out of respect for this king's past reputation."n business. That's a funny thing to say.""Who is "Liu Wangye" referring to"Dugu Xiu looked at the disdain and coldness in her eyes, his dark eyes gradually frosted over. Feng Lingxi spoke again, "Sixt...
