Chapter 1211: Smoke Rises 22

place for me to stay in the General's Mansion, is there""Yu Mo!"Feng Ao's beard was practically flying in the wind, and looking at Feng Yu Mo's cold and hard expression between his brows, it really r...Zhou Mu looked at Feng Lingxi, her eyes complex.

“To be honest with you, the gunpowder I invented before was targeted by some people. I personally destroyed all the thousands of gunpowder I made. You should know how terrifying the power of thousands of gunpowder is. Once a war breaks out, if his 500,000 army really fights, it will be a firestorm, and the world will be devastated, with countless casualties and people losing their homes.”

Feng Lingxi said these were her thoughts when she was destroying gunpowder before. She was afraid that people would find out about the gunpowder and steal her method of making it, that's why.

Now, faced with a similar situation, all she can do is stop it.

If persuasion proved futile, she would ruthlessly take his life, extinguishing all his hopes and dreams, leaving nothing but ruin in her wake.

Dugu City looked at Feng Lingxi, her words touched him deeply.

He didn't expect that in Xi'er's heart, her thoughts were so numerous and distant.

He felt that a woman like her, so strong-willed, wouldn't think so much, but he didn't expect that her concerns were more than his.

"Xi'er is right. The second in command should think carefully about this, as should the chieftain. Since you are all commoners who were forced into this situation, now that I am willing to make a concession, as long as you agree to stop being bandits, I will arrange for you. No matter where you came from before, as long as you are willing, you can settle down on my territory and become citizens of the Yuan Dynasty."

Wu Luo listened to Dugu City's words, and was moved.

He didn't care one way or the other, but could his brothers now agree to submit

"This king believes that among the tens of thousands of you here, there must be many with families. You should discuss this well. If you are willing to surrender, this king will arrange for you."

Dugu Cheng walked to Feng Lingxi's side, "Xier, let's wait for them here for an hour."

Feng Lingxi looked at Zhou Mu, "Zhou Mu, I want to talk to you for a moment."

Feng Lingxi handed the gunpowder from her body to Dugu City, raised her hand, and shook it, indicating that she had no weapons on her body. Zhou hesitated for a moment, took off the bomb, and handed it to Wu Luo.

"Second brother, do you really believe her"

Zhou Mu looked at Feng Ling Xi, "She won't make a move."

Feng Lingxi smiled and walked away with Zhou Mu.

What did the Crown Princess of Chen want to tell me

Zhou Mu looked her up and down, she wasn't obviously older than him, yet he had a feeling that she was.

"Zhou Mu, I called you here just to tell you one thing: Me and you, we're not from the same world as them. Just like your bomb and my gunpowder, they don't belong here either."

"Don't belong here"

Zhou Mu was taken aback, her brows furrowed slightly, not understanding.

"Yes, not belonging here. I can tell you this much, we are all people who have died once, but we are different from the dead. We have been reborn here."

Zhou Mu heard Feng Lingxi's words, and looked at Feng Lingxi with eyes as if she had seen a ghost, her face full of disbelief.

"Your Highness, are you alright" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"You're the one who's crazy, I'm telling the truth."

Wind Ling looked at Zhou Mu, her expression serious and solemn, "Do you think I'm joking"

Zhou Mu nodded, meeting Feng Ling Xi's cold eyes, she hurriedly shook her head.

"Zhou Mu, I'm not joking with you, everything I said is true, it's all true. When you recover your memory, you'll remember everything, and then you'll know if I lied to you."

"As you say, if you're not lying to me, then I have forgotten it completely. Can you help me remember"

"I will do my best to help you."

Zhou Mu looked at Feng Ling Xi's serious expression, not like she was joking at all. He couldn't help but believe her words a little bit.

If he really said what he said to her, and they knew each other, then recalling it might bring back some memories of the past.

Feng Lingxi took a deep breath, "Zhou Mu, I truly hope you won't bring this bomb into the world. For our own sake, and for the people of the land, if this weapon is meant to exist, then it will come forth in its destined time. If not, forcing it into existence is defying fate. Our lives are gifts from heaven, I hope you will think about this carefully."

Zhou Mu fell silent. Feng Ling Xi's words had indeed moved him.

Everything she said sounded so real, as if he had truly spoken to her in that way, like someone not from this world.

Dugu Cheng's eyes were always on Feng Lingxi and Zhou Mu, watching Xi'er's expression change. Even from a distance, he could feel Xi'er's displeasure.

He knew Xi'er was trying very hard to persuade Zhou Mu, but he didn't know if Zhou Mu would ultimately submit.

"This Wu Luo is actually alright, though he's a rough character, he's loyal and values his brothers. You can tell from his expression that he's considering what they're saying."

"Wu Luo, are you worried that if you don't become a bandit, your brothers won't be able to support their families"

"This is definitely something to consider. Although we are growing crops here, most of our resources come from looting. After descending the mountain, what we eat and whether there's a guarantee of sustenance are all factors to take into account."

"As long as you are willing to work, the people under my rule have land to farm and pastures to graze. You will not be treated unfairly. If you wish to join the army, my barracks will accept you, treating everyone equally. Don't worry about life after you come down the mountain."

"Is the Crown Prince truly saying this"

U Luo listened to Dugu City's words, looking at him with half belief and half doubt.

This king's word is worth a thousand gold, consider it carefully yourself. This king is confident that in these years on the border, this king's reputation is still good.

Uluo fell into thought and walked over to discuss with his other brothers.

Dugu Cheng's gaze returned to Feng Ling Xi, seeing that she was also waiting. It seemed like they were now just waiting for Zhou Mu and Ulu's answers. As long as they nodded, it would be settled.

"How is the Crown Prince going to guarantee our safety and livelihood after we descend the mountain We certainly don't want to live worse than bandits once we're down."

Outside Linxi County, there is a piece of land near the Dan Liao tribe. That's where the border of my Great Yuan Dynasty is. There are several villages and pastures there. I can settle you there. You can bring everything you have in the stronghold to that place, buy cattle and sheep from the surrounding pastures, and be treated the same as other places.

"Do we still need to buy it ourselves"

Ulric frowned, somewhat unwillingly.

"Wu Luo, this king does not want a single copper from you. I am giving you such a large piece of land to settle your people. Do you still feel wronged"

獨孤城's eyes were sharp, and Ulu looked at the other brothers. Seeing them nod, Ulu nodded too.

"Alright, if my brothers agree, I, Ulu, have nothing more to say."

"The land of the Dan Liao tribe is in a prime location, with many merchants passing through. It's also fertile land, yet no one has ever been treated so generously. Ulu, Your Highness has really given you quite the face this time."ns, he took good care of the person and didn't ask any questions."I thought Xier would come down the mountain and meet me on the second day, but I waited for several days and didn't see her come to de...
