Chen Mu Mu Mu was slightly taken aback before he chuckled, "You woke up rather early."
His mental state was not bad. Other than his tattered clothes, it was hard to tell that he had experienced such a tragic event last night.
"It's not that I woke up early, it's that you woke up late. The morning is over, and all the cats and dogs have woken up." Feng Lingxi glanced at her with a smile that was not a smile, "Chen Mu Mu, you can't possibly wake up so late every day, right?"
"I would like to, but for the sake of a living, how can I control my sleeping time willfully?" Yesterday, she was really too tired. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been unable to get up.
However, she was truly a cripple. If Feng Lingxi was in the same room as her, who could be so heavy? What if Feng Lingxi wanted to harm her?
Fortunately, Feng Lingxi was still considered to be well-behaved.
He covered his mouth and yawned, thinking of what happened last night and asked, "The Feng Residence has already been burned down, what do you plan to do in the future?"
He had almost stepped into the gates of hell last night, how could he have forgotten? Hearing Chen Mu Mu Mu mention it, Feng Lingxiu's gaze darkened and after a moment of silence, she suddenly laughed and said: "You don't have to worry about that. There must be a road at the top of the mountain. I definitely won't suffer such a loss."
Although she was smiling, Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu could see a trace of imperceptible viciousness in her eyes.
His home was gone, as was his person. Feng Lingxi could not take this lying down, so she would definitely not let this matter rest.
However, the Feng Residence was gone. As a girl, even if she was angry and resentful, what could she do?
Chen Mu Mu's eyes darted around as Feng Ling Xi seemed to be able to read his mind. With a slight smile, he asked, "You must have a lot of questions, right?"
Of course.
Chen Mu Mu nodded her head, but Feng Ling Xian covered her mouth and yawned before heading to the bed. "I'm hungry, go get me something to eat. I don't like sweet food, so I'll take care of anything else."
Feng Ling Xi really didn't feel anything by relying on others.
Chen Mu Mu was amused by the sight, but she didn't bother too much about it. It was just a single meal, and it just so happened that she was hungry as well.
Opening the door, he saw Lu Jinfeng carrying a plate of food up to him, and was slightly startled.
"The room is near. I heard your voice and guessed you were up."
This brat had learned his lesson from listening in to the corner. She had to consider whether or not she should create a isolation zone to prevent eavesdropping in the future.
However, the food that had already been placed under his nose had a tempting aroma to it. His stomach rumbled as he planned for an empty city. He could just put everything else aside for now.
He opened the door wider and leaned over. "Come in."
When Lu Jinfeng entered and saw Feng Lingxi's tattered appearance, he was momentarily stunned before turning around, "You two continue to chat. The clothes that you asked the waiter to buy should have arrived already. I'll go downstairs to get them."
"Go." Chen Mu Mu Mu didn't stop them, after all, Lu Jinfeng was a man and she and Feng Ling Xi were women, so it wasn't convenient for them to do anything and speak.
With hot water for washing up at the door, Chen Mu Mu Mu simply washed up and dried her hands. She turned around to see that Feng Ling Xi had already wolfed down her food.
He couldn't help but find it funny, "Young Lady Feng, you're a girl from a famous family after all. How can you gobble down food like that, you're not afraid of losing face."
"There's no one else here other than you. Who would know if you didn't say anything." Feng Ling disapprovingly pointed at the other bowl of porridge on the plate, "That's yours."
Lu Jinfeng was an extremely stingy man, so the breakfast he prepared was naturally not too rich.
There was plain porridge and cabbage, two steamed buns, and a small dish of pickled vegetables.
It was just that the way the poor families ate, Feng Lingxiu ate with relish, as if what was placed in front of her was not some plain rice, but some precious delicacies.
Chen Mu Mu suddenly felt that Feng Lingxiu wasn't as she had imagined.
"Chen Mu Mu, do you really want to know what happened last night?"
After eating their fill, Feng Lingxi asked while stroking her plump belly.
"If you are willing to speak, then I will listen. If you are unwilling to speak, then I will pretend that I don't know." It had nothing to do with her.
"Aren't you curious?" Feng Lingxi felt that it was a bit strange.
"Curiosity can kill cats." Chen Mu Mu Mu replied.
"However, if the matter had already fallen on you, ignorance might not necessarily be a blessing." Feng Ling said.
Chen Mu Mu's heart sank as he stared at her. "What do you mean?"
Could it be that he had saved Feng Lingxi and planted the cause of disaster?
If that was the case, ignorance was indeed not a blessing, but a folly that had caused his death.
"Don't worry, my father will settle the matter soon. He won't implicate you." Seeing her strange expression, Feng Lingxi knew that she was overthinking it and quickly explained.
Chen Mu's expression faltered for a moment. "Your father and the rest?"
She remembered that she had spent almost the entire day at the Feng Residence, but she hadn't seen the other owners of the mansion. There were only two or three servants at the mansion, and there weren't even guards at the gates.
It was impossible for there to be only those few people in such a large general's manor. Although she did not see the guards at the entrance, she could feel the stifling pressure coming from within. What was going on?
"My father went to the White Cloud Mountain to kill bandits yesterday. I was alone at home." Feng Ling Xi quickly explained, and directly solved Chen Mu Mu's doubts.
The corners of Chen Mu Mu's mouth twitched, "Even if we went to exterminate the bandits, it wouldn't be enough to empty out the entire general's residence, right?"
Yesterday, the Feng Residence had been very clean, as if no one lived there.
"We, the Feng Clan, have been in the army for generations. Every family member is a soldier, so it is not strange for us to all go to war." Feng Ling disapproved.
Everyone was in arms. The Wind Hall was indeed powerful, but …
"Since everyone is fighting, why don't you go with your father?"
Speaking up to here, Feng Lingxi's expression collapsed as she gritted her teeth and said, "He thinks that I, a woman, am too much of a hindrance."
"That's not right, since I think that a woman like you can get in my way, then how can I take the other women from the Feng Clan with me?" Chen Mu remembered that he didn't even see the two ladies in the general's manor yesterday.
"There weren't many women in the Wind Hall to begin with. All of you, stay with me." "However, Father is also afraid that something might happen to me. Since he doesn't want me to go out, I'll just wait for him at home."
"But who would have imagined that the enemy was far too crafty, and that they would actually launch a sneak attack on the Wind Hall?" After contacting the situation last night, Chen Mu Mu nodded his head.
"They aren't trying to ambush the Feng Residence, but they are trying to teach my father a lesson." "I am the apple of my father's eye, my father's only weakness. My father went to exterminate the bandits and destroyed their homes, they naturally do not want to see my father again. Killing me is more than enough for my father to live in pain for the rest of his life."
This group of gangsters were quite nimble and straightforward, the wind general had destroyed their nest, and they killed his daughter, letting out a sigh of relief.
But, "Since your father brought people out to exterminate the bandits, and you're your father's weakness, why didn't he save more people to protect you?"
General, not just anyone can become a general, how can he have the courage to be unscrupulous. Did he not expect those evil people to turn around and kill his daughter?
"I won't allow him to protect us. The Wind Mansion is surrounded by the Mysterious Gate Escape Armor. Once the array is activated, ordinary people can forget about entering the vicinity of the Wind Mansion." Feng Lingxi said with a strange expression.
"You didn't get to the point. If your dad cared about you, why didn't he leave some people to protect you in case something happened?"
"How could anything happen to me at home? The Emperor didn't give my father any military authority, and my father didn't bring many people with him, so how could he return alive?"
Chen Mu choked on his words. "Isn't your father a general? You call him a general if you don't have any troops?"
"My father was guarding Lin City, but in the autumn, when the recruitment started, the military might of Lin City returned to the imperial government. The number of soldiers and horses that my father could mobilize was no more than a thousand." When Feng Lingxi mentioned this, her expression became somewhat angry, "There are over three thousand White Cloud Mountain bandits, and they occupy both the time and the space. Over a thousand soldiers want to know how my father is going to take down the White Cloud Mountain."
In her country's five thousand years of history, there were only a few powerful generals who were more talented than the others. This kind of military genius was not an ant, taking a bunch of them at a time, it was very normal for wind general to be one of them.
However, the wind general was too unlucky. As a general, he was so poor that he didn't even have a horse or army.
No, he just didn't have any soldiers, so he still had some money. Otherwise, where would he get his wealth from for Feng Ling to be defeated?
"By now, the wind general should have already taken down Mount Baiyun, right?" This was the information Feng Lingxiu had revealed just now.
"Of course. Including the soldiers from my Wind Hall, there are two thousand people in total. With my father's intellect, he will definitely take down Mount Baiyun." Feng Lingxiu had a face full of pride.
"Since we've captured Mount Baiyun, why is there still someone running to the Feng Residence to cause trouble?" Upon seeing the arrogant expression on her face, Chen Mu couldn't help but mock her.
"No one is perfect, even if my father is powerful, he can't do everything. Moreover, those bandits have been around for so many years. If it wasn't for the fact that they have some brains, they wouldn't even be able to defend themselves." Feng Lingxi stretched lazily with a face of confusion, "Yesterday was an accident."
"So many surprises." Pausing for a moment, Chen Mu Mu Mu seemed to have caught onto something important. "You said that the Wind Hall is surrounded by a maze?"
"That's right. Under normal circumstances, very few people would be able to leave the Feng Residence after stepping in. Otherwise, my father wouldn't have left me alone in the Feng Residence." Feng Lingxi said.
"Indeed, very few people can break this formation." Chen Mu Mu Mu gritted her teeth, "That weirdo from your family who escaped is also a talented person. Lu Jinfeng and I, the two normal people, trapped us in there, but none of the bandits from White Cloud Mountain were able to stop us."
"This..." "That was an accident, an accident. In any case, aren't you and Lu Jinfeng still fine so why bother so much about it?"
If not for that evil maze, she and Lu Jinfeng would have long ago returned to Xingyu Village. There was no need to be afraid here.
Chen Mu Mu was in a bad mood and wasn't in a good mood. "Didn't you say that your father had already won the battle? Where is he? When can he come to pick you up?"
"My dad came back yesterday at midnight, and he went out to cause trouble for those bandits after he saw the situation in the Feng Residence. After I woke up, I contacted him, and he soon came back to pick me up." Feng Ling said.
Just as she finished speaking, there was a knock on the door, accompanied by a man's rough voice. "Ling Xi."
