out to speak when Ye Xi followed in and pulled him aside."My lord, don't provoke the princess." Today, he didn't wait for Yao Feifei, and after spending another day wandering around, he could feel the...Dugu City looked at General Li's weary face, "General Li, you've worked hard. But have you made any discoveries here"

General Li saw Lu Nian, hesitated for a moment, and seeing Du Gucheng nod, said, "This morning, the bodies of the missing soldiers were found again. They were the same as those found the day before yesterday, with their tendons cut and multiple wounds all over their bodies, causing them to bleed to death."

"Who could be so cruel"

Lu Nian was taken aback by General Li's report and angrily questioned him.

Dugu City nodded, "This king already knows who is responsible. Yu Mo has returned to the palace."

"Yu Mo is back, how did he come back"

General Li was very excited. Gu Li walked forward from the crowd. When General Li saw Gu Li, he hurried forward and asked, "Gu Li, you're back too, that's great, you're alright."

"General Li, this time it's all Guli's fault. She shouldn't have acted on her own. I will bring the prince to catch the culprit and then come back to take the blame. I am willing to accept any punishment."

Gu Li was about to kneel, but General Li quickly helped her up. "What are you saying, child It's a blessing that you're back."

Gu Li's eyes were red. She knew General Li cared deeply for Feng Yu Mo, just like his own son. If she hadn't insisted on coming here to inspect, this wouldn't have happened. So many soldiers had been affected, and she felt a deep sense of guilt in her heart.

"General Li, Lady Guli has brought back Feather Ink. Now Feather Ink is being cared for by Xi'er in the Prince's Manor. This Prince will go to apprehend the culprit. Military affairs will be a bother to General Li."

After Du Gucheng finished speaking, General Li hurriedly said, "Your Highness, please rest assured, I will definitely handle military affairs well. If you need anything, Your Highness, just speak up."

Du Gucheng explained to General Li and then, leading five thousand soldiers, entered the mountains. Soon they found the cave mentioned by Gu Li. After surrounding the cave, Du Gucheng led his men inside. The cave was empty.

"I'm too late."

Du Gu Cheng watched as Gu Li searched everywhere inside the cave. The cave wasn't very big, capable of holding a hundred people, and there were several smaller caves within it, but none led outside. Du Gu Cheng had his soldiers search every nook and cranny, but unfortunately, they found nothing.

"My lord, no one was found."

"My lord, we haven't found anything here either."

Gu Li looked around, the disappointment on her face quickly vanished, and she ran quickly to the place where she and Feng Yu Mo had been before. There was no bloodstains on the ground, not even a trace of dirt, as if a whole new piece of land had been laid down.

"It seems she knew we were coming to cause her trouble, so she left early."

"I shouldn't have let her just run off like that."

Gu Li wore a look of unwillingness, "If we didn't catch her, the soldiers died in vain."

Who should she and Feng Yu Mo seek revenge from for their injuries

Lu Nian crouched down, scooped up some dirt and held it to her nose. She sniffed, then a sneer curled her lips.

"This soil is from outside. It seems like the person who was here processed it before leaving, deliberately not wanting you to find any evidence. There's nothing left here to catch them."

When there was no one here, she knew she couldn't find them.

This heart is so clever, how could it let them catch it.

"I'll leave this to Luo Li. Since the person is gone, let's go back first."

This matter, I will certainly seek justice. Since he has already made a move, he naturally won't just let it go. This Luo Li must also give him an explanation.

A group of soldiers returned to the camp. General Li looked at them, disappointed that they hadn't caught the culprit. However, he quickly regained his composure.

"General Li, we need to reinforce the eastern front. Tomorrow, lead your troops to search the surrounding forests. Check every mountain cave thoroughly. Make sure to clear the forests and ensure the safety of our soldiers. I already know who these murderers are, I will definitely catch them and get to the bottom of this."

"The last general will obey."

Dugu Cheng dealt with things here and then took Gu Li back to Linxi County. She didn't say a word along the way, her face full of unwillingness.

"You guys wasted this trip, weren't you very unwilling"

Lu Nian glanced at Gu Li. At first, he was worried that this girl would fight with his sister for Dugu City. After observing her carefully along the way, he found that Gu Li didn't even look at Dugu City. All she talked about was Feng Yu Mo, his sister's so-called brother. Only then did he speak up and plan to help them.

"Definitely not reconciled, that woman is so bad, she hasn't even been caught."

Gu Li clenched her fists. If her father were here, he would definitely kill that woman and avenge her and Feng Yu Mo.

There are ways to catch her.

When Dugu Cheng heard Lu Nian's words, he looked at him curiously. Lu Nian smiled confidently and said, "Since the murderer has already been identified, it shouldn't be difficult to catch her."

"It's not that easy. This woman is from the Yao tribe, her martial arts skills are not weak, and with the strong backing of the Yao tribe, she is also the granddaughter of the Great Elder of the Ghost Saint Kingdom's Yao tribe. Her identity is different from ordinary Yao tribe members. It's not easy to make her submit."

"That's not easy for you, you have to consider all of these things. I don't need to."

Lu Nian heard so much from Dugu Cheng, he was getting impatient.

They Lu family wanted to kill someone, do they still need to greet them, and need to consider the other party's status

"You don't know the origin of the Ghost Saint Guoyao clan."

Dugu Cheng felt it was necessary to make things clear to him. Lu Nian was after all Xi'er's biological brother. If he got into danger because he wanted to help, Xi'er would be worried. Moreover, this matter didn't require his involvement.

“Of course I know about the Yao Clan, you don't have to tell me. I’ve traveled all over, and this world, this Yao Clan has been quite prominent these past few years, with many rumors spreading. Isn’t my younger sister the Saintess of the Yao Clan Look at how poorly she’s living, she’d be better off returning to our Lu family.”

Even if you gave her just a plot of land, it would be more powerful than being the Yao Clan's Saint Master.

Lu Nian's words caused Dugu Cheng to frown. "You know the Yao Clan, then you also know Xi'er's Yao Clan identity"

"Yao Clan's Saint Lord, but it's useless. It's not as good as being the Miss of the Lu family."

Li Nian's confidence made Dugu City nod. Indeed, since Empress Cen passed away, the value of the Yaozu Saint Lord's identity had vanished. The current emperor didn't want to cooperate with the Yaozu, so naturally, there was no use for Xi'er.

Now that Luoli's identity has been exposed by the Yao Clan of Ghost Saint Nation, those who want to cooperate with the Yao Clan naturally seek out Luoli instead of Xi'er. This Yao Clan Saint Master is nothing more than a decoration.

"Your family sounds really impressive."

Gu Li's words echoed the thoughts in Du Gu Cheng's heart. Indeed, every word Lu Nian spoke revealed the invisible declarations of the Lu family's wealth and influence. Even the Yao clan was not looked upon by the Lu family. Furthermore, Lu Nian was not from the Great Yuan Dynasty, so Du Gu Cheng naturally didn't understand the Lu family.

"Our Lu family should still be quite wealthy, right"
