release the statement, return immediately."Dugu Cheng instructed, General Li responded and led a contingent away."General Zhang, you lead a detachment of troops to the rear pass of Liu Xi County. Sec..."It's simple, someone captured people from the Chen Wangfu, chopped off their fingers and sent them here because they knew they were coming back today. As for the purpose, I have no idea."

Luoli patted Wan'er's head, "Good girl, don't look."

Wan'er remained silent, her eyes fixed on the bloodstain on the ground. There was no fear in her large eyes.

"People from the Chen Wangfu"

What could make Feng Lingxi so nervous Could it be Yu Mo

Feng Yixuan hurriedly shook his head, dismissing the answer. It was impossible. Yu Mo was a general; he had so many people around him. How could anything happen to him If something did happen to him, there was no reason they wouldn't have received any news.

Feng YiXuan the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt, looking at Tian XiaoMi.

"I want to go to the military camp and see if I can help."

"I advise you not to go. The princess has just left, and if you were to leave now, if something were to happen on the way, the princess would be even more distressed. It's best to wait for news."

Luo Li urged, watching Li Wu Yan walk out the door, and hurriedly stopped him, "Ayan, where are you going"

"I'm going to take a look."

Luo Li watched Li Wu Yan leave, handing Wan'er to Feng Yi Xuan, "Take care of Wan'er, I'll go help."

Only the two of them remained in the manor. Looking at the blood on the ground, Feng Yixuan hurriedly ordered the steward to clean it up, but he had no appetite and his heart was in turmoil.

"Butler, do you remember the person who brought the food box Could you describe them for us"

Tian Xiaomi hurriedly asked, Zhang You thought for a moment and nodded.

Tian Xiaomi hurriedly asked someone to bring her pen and ink. Zhang You was a scholar after all, and soon he drew a portrait of the man. However, Tian Xiaomi had been in this place for some time, yet she found this man's face utterly unfamiliar.

"Put the portrait away and wait for the princess to come back. See if you can help her."

Tian Xiaomi instructed Feng Yixuan, and told Zhang You to get them some more food. She took Wan'er back to the room to rest.

Feng Lingxi galloped her horse all the way, rushing to the military camp throughout the night. Upon seeing the princess's reappearance, the soldiers in the camp immediately rushed forward to help with the reins.

"Where is the Lord"

"Your Highness, the King is in his tent."

Feng Lingxi saw the soldiers pointing at Feng Yumo's tent. Her heart was filled with anticipation, and she quickly walked towards Feng Yumo's tent, hoping to see Feng Yumo.

As soon as I stepped outside the tent, I heard Dugu City's voice.

"Did Yuwmoke have any disputes with surrounding tribes before his disappearance"

Feng Lingxi's footsteps came to a halt, her mind filled with Dugucheng's words, "Yu Mo is missing." Yu Mo is missing Could that finger really have belonged to Yu Mo

"My lord, the princess has arrived."

The soldier had already gone in to report. Duguling watched Feng Lingxi standing outside the tent, looking up, his face full of astonishment.

"Xier, how did you come here"

Feng Lingxi walked past, looking at General Li beside Dugu City, but she didn't see Feng Yumo.

"Something has just happened at my house, so I rushed here to consult with you."

Feng Ling Xi placed the lunchbox in front of him. Dugu Cheng glanced at the lunchbox and, with his sharp eyes, noticed the bloodstains on it. His gaze narrowed as he looked at Feng Ling Xi, "What's inside"

"A finger, and Gül's jade pendant."

Feng Lingxi's words shocked Dugu City. He hastily opened the food box and looked at the bloody finger inside, "This is..."

I don't know, I only confirm that this is a man's finger. Does Yu Mo disappear

Dugu City nodded. At this point, she couldn't hide it any longer.

Feng Lingxi heard this dreadful news, feeling dizzy and unable to believe that Yu Mo had truly disappeared.

“The guards on patrol at the east gate had gone missing these past few days. Gu Li wanted to investigate and went missing as well. Yu Mo, who was on patrol three days ago, also disappeared.” Dugu Cheng looked at Feng Ling Xi's clenched fists and soothed, “This king is currently investigating the situation of the soldiers who have gone missing these days. In addition, tomorrow during the day, we will go to the east gate to investigate the reason.”

"Tomorrow, I'll go too."

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu City, "If you're going, you must take me with you. I can help you."

Dugu City looked at Feng Ling Xi's pleading eyes. He wanted to refuse, but he didn't know how to say it. He knew Feng Xi'er's temperament; if he said no, she would probably get angry. But this time was really too dangerous. What if he couldn't come back either If he brought Feng Xi'er along, what would happen to Wan'er then

"Xier, could you..."

Before Du Gucheng could finish his words, Feng Lingxi interrupted him, "Trust me, this must have been done on purpose. This very thing is the best evidence. They've already come knocking, we can handle it."

"So, have you thought about it What will happen to Wan'er if we fail this time"

"If we still have each other, why are we so depressed"

The sound of falling leaves came, and the soldiers immediately drew their swords and pointed at them. Dugu Cheng looked and saw it was Luoli and Li Wuyan. He raised his hand and motioned for the soldiers to stand down.

Since it was man-made, there were traces to follow. If they had kept up their pretense, they might have actually fooled us. But the fact that they couldn't contain themselves and sent this food box has eliminated that possibility. They are not demons, but humans.

Luo Li walked up to them, her face full of confidence that made people feel comfortable and strangely convinced.

"You continue."

Dugu Cheng gestured for Luo Li to sit down. After Luo Li sat down, she looked at Dugu Cheng.

"It's obvious they calculated the time well and knew when you would arrive at the palace. They were meticulous in their planning, meaning the other party has been tracking our movements all along. Whoever this finger belongs to, this jade pendant definitely belonged to Gulì. Sending it is nothing but a warning to you. As for what warning, I believe you will know soon enough."

Luo Li's analysis is very clear and thorough.

Because Feng Yu Mo went missing, Du Gu Cheng was only focused on searching the mountains, but he ignored the blood-soaked finger and ancient jade pendant that had just been delivered. It was a warning from the other party, clearly intended to stop them from searching the mountains.

"So, we can only wait for them to find us"

Feng Lingxi looked into Dugu Cheng's eyes, seeing the coldness within. He was contemplating Luo Li's words. Hearing this, she understood clearly, and even more so, Dugu Cheng.

"That's all we can do for now."

Luoli looked at Dugu City, "Today they sent you severed fingers and Guli's jade pendant under the cover of night. If they continue to search the mountains tomorrow, I fear what will be sent next won't be just a severed finger."

This time, they were all passive. The other party had caught them in a favorable position, and Feng Yu Mo and Gu Li, Feng Ling Xi and Du Gu Cheng could only passively wait for their orders and do as they were told.

"My lord, for Feather Ink's safety, we should call off the search and see what they are planning. We must not act impulsively and risk Feather Ink's life."

General Li was filled with worry. He treated Yu Mo like his own son. This time, when he disappeared, General Li worried for days. Now that he saw this severed finger, even such a tough and seasoned man as General Li had broken down.
