Don't panic, nephew. I will take this pot of evil star.

Saltpeter, fireworks, everywhere, three days, government office...

What are these people going to do?

Feng Tianxu leaned weakly against the door. If what Ali heard was true, combined with what he had just heard, Zechun City was probably going to be attacked.

Feng Xili was locked in the room until noon, but Tianxu didn't come back. She touched her hungry stomach, and the last flame of the brazier in the room was extinguished not long ago.

She is cold and hungry now. Where is Feng Tianxu doing?

This small room doesn't even have a window, only a small door, which is locked. Could it be that the door was smashed?

After waiting for a while, she became anxious and irritable, so she picked up a stool and smashed it against the wooden door. Unexpectedly, the door suddenly opened and Feng Tianxu's tired face appeared behind the door.

Staring at the round stool that suddenly appeared and was about to hit his face, Feng Tianxu tilted his head, and his big hands easily grasped the stool legs. He said helplessly: "Sorry, I was delayed by something. Are you hungry, Ali?"

He calmly put down the stool in his hand and took out meals from the wooden box he brought.

Feng Xili was embarrassed for a moment, but she was really hungry, so she sat down to eat obediently, and kept asking, "You've been out for so long, have you found out anything?"

As she ate, she casually put some food into his bowl and said, "I was paying attention last night, but I didn't hear any big noises. Is he not around here, or am I really overthinking it?"

She asked the question while eating in a very natural manner. Feng Tianxu looked at the food sticking out of his bowl and felt extremely upset.

"Last night, there wasn't much noise. Just a few people on the edge of town setting off fireworks for fun in the middle of the night, and a few kids accidentally set a haystack on fire."

Feng Tianxu spoke briefly and to the point, then ate his meal in silence.

Staying up late at night to set off fireworks, haystacks...

Do these things have anything to do with retreating and burying something?

She couldn't help but think of the flames rising into the sky, and lowered her head to chew her food silently.

The saying "Don't talk while eating and don't talk while sleeping" was finally followed by the two of them. After they had eaten and drunk their fill, neither of them spoke a word.

She looked up at Feng Tianxu who was looking down at his fingers, and knew that he might have guessed something.

"What do you think?" she looked at him inquiringly.

"It's still unclear. The soldiers on patrol last night discovered it in time and gave a few simple warnings."

Feng Xili pursed her lips, not wanting the flames in her dream to become reality. It would have been fine in a dream, but in reality she would never just watch Tian Xu close the heavy city gate.

"Tianxu, we'd better ask for help." It's better to be safe than sorry.

Deliberately ignoring his momentary stiffness, she continued, "Let's go to the government office and declare our identities. I'll use my status as a princess to have the government office go to the nearest city..."

It might take some time to prove my identity, so this matter cannot be delayed.

"No! I've already found their base. Their plan tonight can't be carried out!"

Feng Tianxu gritted his teeth and interrupted her proposal, his hands clenched tightly, his dark pupils looking as if he wanted to burn a hole in the table.

Feng Xili felt a lump in his chest and didn't know how to persuade him.

"I'll make arrangements. Don't go out. If Ali goes out without permission and gets into danger, I won't be responsible for Zechun City!" Feng Tianxu suddenly stood up, left a word, and rushed out like the wind.

"Tian Xu!" she called out. It was obvious that the boy had been running around all night. How would he plan his schedule alone? He wasn't an iron man, he needed to rest too!

Although his threats were fierce, they warmed her heart. However, she couldn't bear to let him run around alone.

When Feng Xili stood at the gate of the government office, she was troubled when she saw the soldiers guarding the gate.

She was penniless now, wearing ordinary people's clothes, and she probably couldn't even enter the government office. How could she ask to see the county magistrate?

She couldn't shout about this kind of thing loudly, and without the support of her status, no one would believe her.

She was looking worried when a man suddenly walked out of the government office gate. He was saying something to the person next to him with his fists clasped, and then said goodbye to the person with a smile on his face.

Feng Xili was originally standing next to the stone lion at the gate. When she heard some movement inside, she turned her head to take a look.

The person who walked out met Feng Xili's gaze before the smile on his face disappeared.

They were both stunned. She screamed inwardly: Oh my god! Why is it him?!

In an instant, she turned and ran as if a ghost was chasing her.

The man's mouth grinned even wider, and when she ran to a fork in the road, he rushed over, covered her mouth and kidnapped her.

The moment she was dragged away, she was furious: "What bad luck! How could I have met this person?!"

"What a coincidence, Princess~" As expected, that mean voice was filled with an undisguised smile.

"If you promise not to shout, I'll let go of your hand, how about that?" Feng Xili's hands were tied behind her back and her mouth was covered. She looked panicked and nodded impatiently.

Seeing this, the man loosened his grip and patted her cheek, smiling as if asking for a beating, "So good!"

This scoundrel! She could only stare at him.

"Why are you here?"

"Why are you here?"

The two asked the question almost at the same time. The man smiled playfully and said, "So you have such tacit understanding?"

"Who has a tacit understanding with you? All the people hired by Fenfang that day have been brought to justice. You'd better not commit crimes again, otherwise..." She saw a fierce look flash in his eyes and suddenly closed her mouth.

"I didn't take that order last time. Their life or death has nothing to do with me. Of course, your life or death has nothing to do with me either." As the man said this, he rubbed her chin with his fingers.

"But now..." Interest flashed in his eyes, as if he had seen something he hadn't seen for a long time.

"The fact that you're here shows that guy has some skills." He teased.

"Who are you talking about?" She slapped away the hand that was waving in front of her.

The man seemed to suddenly think of something and looked at her with a frown. The back figure from last night was very similar to that boy.

If that's true... is it possible that these two people have discovered something?

"Did your brother come with you?" he asked, his voice cold.

Feng Xili shuddered. How could this person change so suddenly?

"Does it have anything to do with you?" She looked away and said stubbornly.

"Haha, let me guess. You're a princess who was kidnapped and rescued, but you didn't stay back home and ran to this godforsaken place. You're not here for tourism, are you?"

Travel? His words...

"Your brother's determination is very impressive!" He laughed freely, but it did not show in his eyes.

"Have you seen him?" She raised her eyebrows and looked at him.

"Tsk, I don't care what you're doing here, stay where you belong and don't run into my hands. This time will be different from last time, don't accidentally come here and not come back."

He leaned close to her ear and spoke slowly, like a blunt knife cutting flesh, which made people shudder.

Feng Xili froze and dared not move. She could clearly feel the coldness from him floating around her in waves. His pupils, which were in the backlight, reflected a small spot of light, making her look more like being stared at by some evil spirit.

She slowly raised her hand and deliberately made an "OK" gesture to him, "Oh."

He grabbed her wrist which was gesturing "OK" and looked at her with a look of shock.

"You? You are?" he asked through gritted teeth.
