Chapter 345 Meeting the Parents

Ling Fengxun put down the map and said directly: "There must be a lot of treasures among these things left in the Western Regions. A severe drought is coming soon. We are short of silver. It is a good opportunity to find all the things in it and use them."

An Yunxi: ""

She really didn't know what to say for a moment.

The sad atmosphere was broken.

Ling Fengxun looked around and finally set his eyes on the dagger.

Then he picked it up very carefully and pulled the dagger out of the sheath.

Silver light flashed.

It was slightly cold.

Under the flickering candlelight, the sharpness of the dagger could be seen more clearly.

Ling Fengxun touched the thin blade with his fingertips. It was as thin as a cicada's wing, but hard and sharp.

He narrowed his eyes, exerted force on his wrist, and chopped down at the box made of black iron. The next moment, he actually cut a gap in the box.

Even the dagger did not show any tendency to break.

You know, this box is made of black iron. If it was so easy to be damaged, the things inside should have been taken out long ago.

It was because others had no way to open the box without breaking the Tianshu lock that it could return to his hands smoothly.

The letter inside was written by my mother when she left the Western Regions. He did not exist at that time, and it is estimated that my mother did not know who would end up with this box.

However, judging from the words she wrote in the letter, she still hoped that someone from the Western Regions could get the box and then restore the country with the jade seal

. Now, there is no need to restore the country.

His son has become the true king of Beiling.

After confirming that the dagger was an extremely sharp treasure, Ling Fengxun immediately put it back into the scabbard and handed it to An Yunxi.

"Xi'er, this is for you."

An Yunxi was dumbfounded.

"Give it to me?"

Ling Fengxun nodded: "It is a treasure, keep it for you to use for self-defense, but be careful when you use it yourself, a sharp weapon can hurt others and yourself easily."

An Yunxi held the dagger tightly, but she didn't expect that the dagger was not very heavy, but very light, suitable for her use.

Her eyes were curved, full of smiles in her beautiful eyes, and An Yunxi's fair cheeks were a little more flushed.

She said with a slightly amused look: "People usually give rouge and powder to women, but Your Highness likes to give daggers to people?"

Ling Fengxun rubbed her head very gently, his eyes were even more gentle.

"Because my wife is different from ordinary women."

An Yunxi smiled and said, "I like daggers."

After all, this thing looks like the prince's heirloom.

After looking through the things in the box, Ling Fengxun put the useless things like the jade seal back, leaving only the map.

He called Yingfeng in: "Send someone to search according to the marks on this map. If there is something, bring it all back."

Yingfeng took the map carefully: "Yes, Your Highness!"

He was steady in his work and was considered Ling Fengxun's right-hand man.

Over the years, Yingfeng has never made Lingfengxun worry.

After handing over the matter, Lingfengxun and An Yunxi also relaxed a lot. The originally hot and stuffy summer was not so suffocating anymore.

It was late at night and the surroundings became quiet. Lingfengxun was obviously in a good mood at this time.

He picked up An Yunxi and said, "It's very late. I will accompany Xier to take a bath and change clothes."

"No, no, I will go by myself."

An Yunxi thought to herself that it was not good. She still had the red marks left on her body by Lingfengxun two days ago.

However, her struggle was like an itch in Ling Fengxun's arms, getting more and more itchy.

Ling Fengxun raised the corners of his lips. Today, Sang Luo appeared and solved a more anxious problem. He also got his mother's relics, which made him feel less anxious. Now that he was relaxed, he naturally wanted to do something else.

What to do?

He lowered his eyes and looked at the slightly panicked woman in his arms. The smile on his lips deepened a little.

Sang Luo and other people from Mobei became hostages and were detained in the capital. Ling Fengxun specially sent people to keep an eye on them, and then asked the army to go to Mobei as planned. He

also brought a letter written by Sang Luo himself, ready to send to the King of Mobei.

Because he was not sure whether a war would break out, Ling Fengxun did not leave the capital to personally lead an expedition to Mobei, but handed over such an important task to An Guohou who had volunteered to fight.

After all, it is safest to leave such matters to one's own family, and he can also know the reaction of Mobei more accurately.

An Guohou is also a veteran, and his achievements are all earned by himself, and they are very solid.

He was not allowed to take action before because Ling Fengxun felt that he was old and might be dangerous if a big war really broke out.

Now this kind of low-risk job was left to him.

When An Guohou left the city, he was in high spirits and led 100,000 soldiers and horses from Beifeng City to the Zhenbeiguan garrison.

Regardless of the final outcome of a fight or not, the army should first put pressure on the King of Mobei and increase his strength, so that the other party can understand the current strength of Beiling.

During this period, An Yunze, who had returned from the State of Southern Qi, finally rode to the capital at full speed.

When he arrived at the Prince's Mansion, he had no time to change his dusty clothes.

As soon as the guard at the gate saw him, he immediately went inside to report. It was noon at this time, and Ling Fengxun was not at home. An Yunxi personally entertained An Yunze who had come back from thousands of miles away

. An Yunxi still knew some simple contents of what happened in Southern Qi through letters, but there was not much news that could be brought back by pigeon messenger, and An Yunxi was also waiting for An Yunze's return.

Seeing that the young master looked tired, she felt a little distressed, and immediately asked someone to pour tea and arrange a chair for him to sit down.

She also sat opposite the tea table, without any airs, and asked like an old friend: "Don't worry, you can take a rest first and then tell me in detail."

An Yunze's eyes were clear, and he said stubbornly: "I'm not tired, I want to tell the princess as soon as possible."

An Yunxi did not hold back, but said in a serious manner: "Okay, go ahead and I'll listen."

An Yunze just took a sip of water and began to tell An Yunxi everything he had found out in Nanqi.

After An Yunxi finished listening, her face was also somewhat stunned.

"Was it taken away by a wolf?"

There was a bit of disappointment in her tone.

An Yunze pursed his lips, and a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes, as if he had failed the princess's trust in him. "Please accept my condolences, Princess. I still didn't get any useful clues during this trip."

An Yunxi's eyes flashed slightly, but there was a bit of relief in her eyes.

After searching for so long, she got such a conclusion. Although she was a little sad, she could only accept it.

"It has nothing to do with you. You have done a lot for me. I never thought that the old monk would force you to kill people and become a killer."

This was something An Yunxi had never thought of. It turned out that this was the reason why Huixin became a white-haired ghost in the previous life.

The old monk was a bad guy from beginning to end

. No, maybe the personality that raised Huixin was a good person, but he was eventually swallowed up by evil.

After An Yunze finished talking about everything, he did not plan to stay in the palace.

He stood up and said to An Yunxi: "Princess, I will not stay any longer tonight. I want to go to Lijia Village in Lin'an County to meet my biological parents."
