ing to this, Bei Ping Wang's attitude further caused Dugu Yan's attitude towards Mo Huai Lan to shift extremely quickly.She has a pretty good understanding of the palace intrigues and power struggles....Feng Lingxi hearing Zhou Mu's words, her face also did not look good.

Zhou Mu saw Feng Ling being arrogant and dismissive, which made him even more domineering.

"Well, well, looks like I was right. Now you're regretting bringing me back"

Zhou Mu, in your mind, what do you desire To be served delicious food and drinks, to live in a grand estate, with young women attending to your every need, pampering you comfortably. Is this the life that a strategist like yourself should lead

"Well, do you find my request excessive Shouldn't other strategists be treated this way"

Zhou Mu looked at Feng Ling Xi, "Do you still say that we are old acquaintances Shouldn't old acquaintances be treated better"

"If you feel that way, I'm sorry, I can't do that, and I can't give you that."

Zhou Mu frowned, looking at Feng Lingxi's icy expression and sneering repeatedly.

"How interesting, you tricked me into coming here. Now I regret it. Well, I'm leaving. I'll go be someone else's guest." Zhou Mu turned around. He still didn't believe that anyone would refuse him as a guest. When he became successful someday, he would make her regret this.

"Stop!"

Feng Lingxi called him back, walking up to Zhou Mu's face. "Have I said for you to leave"

Zhou Mu held her arms across her chest, glancing at Feng Lingxi with a provocative look in her eyes.

"So, Your Highness, the Crown Princess of Chen wants to kill me and silence me, preventing me from going out and becoming someone else's guest"

Feng Lingxi looking at Zhou Mu's expression, it was truly a different person compared to yesterday.

Zhou Mu, yesterday I didn't see that you were this kind of person. Why didn't you bring up today's requirements yesterday, and now you bring them up Are you doing this on purpose

"Yesterday you led troops to besiege my mountain stronghold, and said so many kind words. I naturally thought you were truly wanting to be good to me. Who could have thought that you would be like this"

Zhou Mu still had a disdainful expression on his face and said to Feng Ling Xi's words, full of disdain.

If he knew Feng Lingxi's strategist was someone of such low status, he might as well be a military advisor in a bandit camp. At least he would be free to do whatever he wanted, unlike now where he is restricted by her.

Feng Lingxi looked at Zhou Mu's disdain in his eyes and said slowly, "I can arrange breakfast for you, but I can't afford the luxurious life you want. Here, there is only frugality. After all, I don't have that much money."

The people here are satisfied as long as they have enough to eat. If they want better food, they can get more, but it's absolutely impossible to have it as good as they say.

"Even if you can't give me what I want, where do you get the confidence to say you can settle the brothers in the village Don't tell me, you, the princess consort of Chen, are broke"

"As a princess, she had always relied on herself here. Having such decent food was already very good."

Xiaoli couldn't stand it any longer. If this person hadn't been brought back by the princess, she would have scolded him severely.

"What do you think you are, talking to me like that I'm the one invited by the Princess Consort of Chen..."

She is my personal maid, she grew up with me and we are like sisters.

Feng Lingxi interrupted Zhou Mu's words. Xiao Li looked at the princess in astonishment, she never expected her to say that they were sisters, for the princess, she was just the princess, her master.

Zhou Mu stroked his chin, squinting at Xiao Li with eyes that burned with a mixture of lust and creepiness. Feng Ling Xi's face darkened.

Zhou Mu, put away your gaze.

This was fine yesterday, how come it looks like a scoundrel today It's really making me nauseous to look at. The scholarly air from yesterday is completely gone. Feng Lingxi is somewhat regretful for bringing him back to the manor. Looking at his appearance, she can't help but worry about the days to come.

Zhou Mu looked at Feng Lingxi and said with a sinister smile, "Princess Chen, since these are sisters who are like close friends, why not introduce me You said that this Tian Xiaomi is your younger sister-in-law, so if I marry her, wouldn't I be closer to you"

Xiao Li heard this, her eyes panicked.

"My Queen, I cannot marry him."

"I've already arranged a marriage for her, she can't marry you. Besides, love at first sight isn't suitable for her."

Feng Lingxi's face was expressionless, her tone icy cold.

"Zhou Mu, if you only want a life of drunken revelry and material indulgence, then you are utterly unfit to be my strategist."

Zhou Mu raised an eyebrow, glanced at Xiao Li, then looked at Feng Lingxi, "So what the Crown Princess of Chen means is she wants to drive me away"

"It's impossible to get rid of you."

Dugu Cheng brought Ye Xi back, both of them covered in dust and grime. Their handsome faces were full of fatigue, but their spirits remained high.

Feng Lingxi, seeing Dugu City's complexion, thought that he must have stayed out all night last night.

"Xier, what happened"

Alone City walked to Feng Ling Xi's side, asking in a low voice, ignoring Zhou Mu's gaze at him. This time, he saw such a scene. Looking at Xiao Li's flustered eyes, Xi Er's displeasure on her face, and Zhou Mu's lecherous and disdainful look, Alone City already knew that this Zhou Mu matched what he had found out last night.

This person is a wolf in sheep's clothing. He simply relies on the bombs he invented to feel invincible and priceless, believing that everyone will treat him with respect.

Since he entered the counterfeit gang, relying on his homemade bombs and tricks to successfully rob, he used his skills to make life in the counterfeit world much better. He was promoted to the second-in-command. Although Wu Luo is the boss, he doesn't have as much brains as him, which is why after more than two years of managing, things are still in this state.

When Zhou Mu heard what Dugu City said, his eyes turned unkind toward him.

"Does the Crown Prince mean to keep me here"

Dugu Cheng waved his hand, Ye Xi stepped forward and held Zhou Mu down. Zhou Mu tried to resist, but was subdued by Ye Xi. After struggling several times to no avail, Zhou Mu gritted his teeth and glared at Dugu Cheng.

"Prince Chen, what do you mean by this"

Dugu Cheng stood with his hands behind his back, staring at Zhou Mu with furious eyes.

“In the past, when this king quelled bandits and dealt with those evil thieves, I would never have shown mercy. This time, Xi'er said you might be from the same place as her, and asked me to forgive you and take you under my command. Last night, after a thorough investigation, I found that your role as the second-in-command in the bandit den hadn’t made any real contributions. The only thing you did was make some firearms, using clever tricks during robberies to succeed a few times. However, over the past two years, you expanded your laboratory to satisfy your own desires, taking almost all the bandit den's property for yourself. But you are still not satisfied, wanting to mine ore and smelt iron. Mining without permission is a capital offense, and you knowingly committed this crime out of ambition.”

Hearing Dugu Cheng recount Zhou Mu's deeds, if it were yesterday, Feng Lingxi might have disbelieved. But now, she believed it, because today Zhou Mu's performance was truly disappointing. Zhou Mu was nothing but a greedy person who craved wealth and luxury.

"So the Heavenly King went to investigate me last night, huh"

Zhou Mu's face suddenly darkened, "What do you mean believe me, but behind the scenes you are investigating me"to Feng Ling Xi's room. He knocked on the door, and a voice from inside said, "Come in.""Xier."Feng Lingxi hadn't slept. She had said she wanted to rest, but in reality, she was having Yinge and the o...
