Peerless buns

It's snowy outside, but warm inside.Fu Tongxi sat by the stove and quietly flipped through the medical books. It had been a few days since Hua Xichen left, but there was no news about him during this period.Rubbing the center of his brows lightly, he sighed lightly, why did he faintly feel worried.

Pan Shisi came over and patted him on the shoulder, "Tongxi, today is the annual Ice Lantern Festival in Snowland City, let's go and have fun later."

Fu Tongxi smiled slightly, "If I go, I'm afraid I will disturb you and Mr. Xie."

"How could it be? I heard that there are not only fun things to do, but also a lot of delicious food. It's hard for us to come here once, so we can't do nothing and stay in the house all day long."

Xie Xiangsheng walked out from the house, wearing a purple fur coat, looking extremely dignified, and holding a similar purple fur coat in his hand.He embraced Pan Shisi, scratched her nose lightly, his eyes were full of doting, "My lady is right, but we have to tell the elder brother first, so that the elder brother won't be worried. Tong Xi, go get ready and see you at the door later. "

Long Yuejun wanted to stay in the manor to accompany Bai Ran, so it was naturally inconvenient to go with him, so he arranged dozens of servants to accompany him.I just told Tongxi to have fun and buy whatever you like.Fu Tongxi nodded, and the group went out.

In Xueyu City, the streets are brightly lit, the gongs and drums are noisy, and it is very lively.People wear bright headdresses and their faces are filled with joy.A luxurious carriage passed by slowly, and a head poked out from inside the carriage, "It's so beautiful, look at it, sir."

Xie Xiangsheng smiled, "Yes. The Ice Lantern Festival is a traditional festival in Xueyu City for hundreds of years. On this day, all the ice sculptors in Xuanguo will gather in Xueyu City to complete a work at the same time. It’s spectacular. There will be lantern riddles guessing and couplets to add to the fun later on.”

At this time, the carriage stopped, the curtain was lifted, Xie Xiangsheng walked down first, followed by Pan Shisi in purple fur and Fu Tongxi in red fox fur.Xie Xiangsheng turned around and gave some instructions, then led Pan Shisi and the others towards the crowd.

All kinds of ice lanterns and ice sculptures along the way complement each other, which is dizzying. Pan Shisi and Fu Tongxi were amazed.Because there were too many people, their appearance did not attract much attention, which reassured Xie Xiangsheng a lot.All the worries at the beginning have been left behind, and I can devote myself to admiring the beautiful scenery around me.By the time they arrived at the ice sculpture lake, the ice sculpture production had been completed.Suddenly there was a loud noise, the broken ice slid down, and 'Silver Dragon Going to Sea' was born out of nowhere.The body of the dragon is crystal clear, pure and lifelike.I saw the 'Silver Dragon' standing on the surface of the lake, about to soar into the sky and fly to the sky, and everyone present was amazed.

After admiring the ice sculptures, Xie Xiangsheng led them to another place.Because there were too many people, Xie Xiangsheng kept holding Pan Shisi's hand, "Tongxi, the lantern riddles are ahead, let's go and have a look."

"Sir, is there any reward for guessing correctly?" Pan Shisi asked.

Xie Xiangsheng chuckled, "Of course, do you want it, lady?"

Pan Shisi nodded, and turned her head to look at Fu Tongxi.Fu Tongxi shook her head, "You guys go, I'll look around and come back here to find you later."

Seeing that he was really not interested, Xie Xiangsheng didn't force him anymore, agreed to meet at a good time, and left with Pan Shisi.

Turning around, quietly staring not far ahead.The pavilion with the cold wind, the old man in gray clothes, and the chessboard are so out of place.Fu Tongxi twitched his lips and walked forward.

He stopped and said with a slight smile, "Old man, the chessboard is empty, I don't know why?"

The old man in gray reached out and brushed off the thin snow on the chessboard, and said with a smile, "How can someone play chess without a predestined relationship. Would you like to play a game with me?"

Fu Tongxi smiled and sat down on the other side of the chessboard.

The two sat facing each other, Fu Tongxi was holding white, and the old man in gray was holding black.Fu Tongxi held the white chess in his hand, and lightly pressed the chess piece on the board, "Old man, please."

On the second floor of the Snowy Inn, a man in white stood by the window with his hands behind his back, his dark eyes were fixed on the people in the pavilion.

"Master, do you want your subordinates to go over?"

The man in white shook his head, "No need. You have to remember that when you go back, you must not show any flaws, and you must gradually gain his trust."

"My subordinate understands."

"Well, back off, I will contact you when I return to Jiangyun City."

A black figure flashed, and only the man in white was left in the room, muttering, "Tongxi, let me see the real you, let me get to know you little by little, don't let me down. "

On the small chessboard, the black and white chess pieces are scattered in perfect order, and there is a hidden murderous intent everywhere.The chess game is not over yet, Fu Tongxi is already at a disadvantage.The old man in gray said with a smile, "My lord, life is like a game of chess, every move must be counted. If you make a wrong move, you will lose the whole game."

Fu Tongxi raised her phoenix eyes and said slowly, "If everything is calculated like this, wouldn't it be too tiring." After a pause, he continued, "Besides, the chess game is not over yet, it's too early to judge the winner or loser."

The gray-clothed old man stroked his beard, and said with deep meaning, "That's the case. But winning and losing, it's all in the son's mind."

"Oh? How do you say this?"

"Win to live, lose to die."

Fu Tongxi picked up Baizi and lowered it lightly, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, "The road to life is also the road to death, and there is one road in the end. If you walk well, you will turn around and return to life. If you walk badly, you will die. Three possibilities, half life, half death."

The gray-clothed old man nodded in agreement.

Fu Tongxi chuckled, "What about you, why have you been looking for me?"

Hearing this, the old man in gray sneered, "Young master must have misunderstood. This is the first time this old man meets you today. Why do you keep talking about this?"

Fu Tongxi raised his head and said after a long time, "Next time remember to change your appearance, apply warm water to the base of your ears. There is still this kind of place where you appear so abruptly. Did we know each other before? Is there a grievance or a grudge?"

The gray-clothed old man shook his head, "I don't know him. There is no grievance or enmity."

After Fu Tongxi heard the words, he had already planned in his heart how to pay back all of these, so as to be worthy of what he had suffered.There was a sly look in his eyes when he raised his head, "Well, that's good. From now on, we will have both grievances and enmities, and this fate must never be broken."

The gray-clothed old man sneered, no longer covering up, and asked directly, "What's the relationship between you two? What did he promise you, rights? Money?"

Fu Tongxi didn't refute, but said calmly, "I'm afraid it's not just because of this that you sent someone to assassinate you along the way?"

The old man in gray nodded, "I want more, and no one can stop me. Why do you detoxify?"

Fu Tongxi asked back, "Why not?"

The old man in gray showed a hint of anger, "You are No.1 who dares to talk to me like that."

"Actually, I don't want to see you, and naturally I don't want to be this so-called No.1." Fu Tongxi blinked innocently, and continued, "But seeing you working so hard and taking so much trouble, I How can you fail your intentions? Besides, you have been staring at me, facing such longing eyes, how can I refuse? "

The old man in gray had anger in his eyes, and he turned his head and glanced in the direction of the opposite inn, "Should I kill you first or him first?"

he?Fu Tongxi's heart tightened, and he brushed the chessboard lightly with his left hand, and slowly straightened his sleeves.Although Hua Xichen is conceited, distrusts people, and is indifferent to others, it is true that he saved himself.Even if he is Concubine Ying's substitute, it's true that he treats him well.No matter how good his martial arts are, it will be difficult for him to defend against sneak attacks again and again.With an inaudible sigh, he frowned, "What if I kill you first?"

The old man laughed suddenly, and said in a disdainful tone, "It's up to you? You don't have the strength to restrain a chicken."

Fu Tongxi was not moved by his words, raised the corners of his mouth, and his tone was as calm as the wind, but he could not tolerate any doubts, "So what if you don't have the strength to restrain a chicken? If you know me before, you should know my I like it. I don’t need a soldier, a general, a knife and a sword, and I can kill you, so why care about other things.”

The old man in gray was shocked, but there was a murderous look in his tone, "Could it be that you used poison?"

Fu Tongxi neither admitted nor denied.A person who doesn't even have a memory, why would he like to talk about it.What he would say was just to create an illusion to confuse the other party so that he could make a move himself.If he really wants to kill him, he is afraid that he will lose his life before he makes a move.

"I wanted to keep you for a few more days, but now it seems that the only way to be at ease is to kill you."

The sunspot falls, and the chess game is over.White loses, black wins.

Fu Tongxi slowly picked up the white chess and put it into the chess jar, his tone was full of sarcasm, "You have been deliberately hiding your identity for so long, making everything so mysterious, and you plan to see the light of day again today? Hehe, I guess your men will take a while I'm afraid you won't be able to last this moment. Besides, there are people from Lord Long Yue around here, so how can you deal with it?"

But at this moment, he was already furious and wanted to strike Fu Tongxi with his palm.Fu Tongxi lifted the chessboard, took out a packet of medicinal powder from his sleeve, and waved it away.An unknown medicinal powder rushed towards him, and the man in gray hurriedly covered it with his hands.Fu Tongxi quickly bent over / went down, and the silver needle went straight into the man's knee.The man in gray let out a muffled groan, and slashed at Fu Tongxi's back with his palm.
