Chapter 129: Chapter 129: Wait for my return, I will surely prove it to you

Chu Qianli didn’t know why she had such a strong sixth sense.

The bandits of Phoenix Mountain were infamous for their ferocity and brutality.

If an enemy general fell into their hands, it surely meant an immediate demise.

They would even hang the bodies of these generals in the most conspicuous places, just to provoke the Imperial Court.

In light of this, if Qin Xiao had been captured by them, he would have been killed quickly.

So why was there only silence, with no news whatsoever?

"A trap?" Feng Yexuan turned back, looking at the disheveled young girl.

Even though she appeared somewhat unkempt at the moment, those clear, bright black eyes of hers were filled with wisdom and composure.

She truly resembled a soldier who remained unflustered in the face of change!

Feng Yexuan was momentarily stunned. How could he detect the air of a soldier in this young girl?

"Several generals have died at Phoenix Mountain before, their corpses displayed by the bandits to mock the Imperial Court. But why has Qin Xiao merely disappeared?"

The words of Chu Qianli caused a slight frown to appear on Feng Yexuan’s brow.

But he remained silent.

"Prince, the Imperial Court has been abuzz lately; the Emperor seems intent on appointing a Crown Prince. And you, with your powerful military forces, are the Prince he favors most at the moment."

"You mean someone has colluded with the Phoenix Mountain bandits? This time, to use Qin Xiao as bait, to ensnare me and take me down?"

Feng Yexuan wasn’t slow-witted; with her hint, he immediately grasped the underlying rationale.

He was just surprised that Chu Qianli, a lady raised in the seclusion of a noble family, could think matters through with such meticulousness.

"It’s not an impossible scenario."

Chu Qianli also descended from the bed, walked up to him, and lifted her gaze—the difference in their heights made it necessary to look up: he appeared to be nearly 1.9 meters tall while she estimated herself to be just over 1.6 meters.

She truly had to look up.

Quite helplessly so.

However, these were just trivial matters; they were at a juncture of life and death.

"Prince, caution will protect you for a lifetime. It’s better to be safe than sorry."

Feng Yexuan was the War God of Beiming Country; if anything befell him, the entire Beiming Country would be thrown into chaos.

And it was the citizens who would suffer most!

"Are you worried for me?" In Feng Yexuan’s eyes, a flash of an unusual gleam appeared.

When they were no longer at odds with each other, she was, in fact, quite endearing.

Chu Qianli rolled her eyes at him: "Now is the time for discussing life and death matters."

"What’s the difference?" However, he no longer had too much time to enjoy the pleasures of her company.

Feng Yexuan said indifferently, "If Qin Xiao is in trouble, those people also know that even if it’s obviously a trap, I will definitely go to rescue him."

How could he, Feng Yexuan, stand idly by if Qin Xiao was in trouble?

Thus, as soon as they got a hold of Qin Xiao, Feng Yexuan had already stepped with half a foot into their snare!

"I know you must go!"

If he didn’t, he wouldn’t be the War God Prince of Beiming Country!

"I have only one request."

"What is it?" Military matters could not be delayed. Outside, Qing Ming had already ordered everyone to get ready; he had to set out.

Chu Qianli took a deep breath before speaking, "Take me with you, I can be of help!"

"No way!"

Feng Yexuan flatly refused: "Your injuries haven’t healed; you should not be traveling."

Though he refused, his heart involuntarily warmed because of her request.

In the end, he gave her a look, one that wasn’t as cold as before, but rather, carried a trace of warmth.

"Rest assured, I will be fine! When I return, I can prove to you that in this lifetime, I need only you and no so-called harem of consorts!"
