Peerless buns

Fu Tongxi was slightly taken aback, of course he had heard some rumors about the son-in-law Duan Xiaobai when he was in Jiangyun City.

It is rumored that Duan Xiaobai is both civil and martial arts, but he is not involved in the rivers and lakes. He is unrestrained and uninhibited, but he is born with love.He doesn't care about worldly affairs. After being a weak crown, he resolutely chooses to stay in Wuzhou, not to participate in government affairs, and only wants to keep that side of his so-called pure land.And the only time she left Wuzhou City was when she went to Beijing to marry Hua Xiran.

When mentioning Duan Xiaobai, one must first talk about his father, the old Wu Wang Duan Xuan.

Duan Xuan was originally a general who followed the late emperor Hua Jingyuan. He was loyal, brave and good at fighting, and was appreciated by the late emperor.When the first emperor was trapped in Qiyun Mountain, Duan Xuan only led a hundred soldiers to lure the rebels by risking himself. Later, he managed to break through the siege and rescue Hua Jingyuan, but he was seriously injured and lost his left arm.

After Hua Jingyuan came to the throne, he bestowed Duan Xuan in the area of ​​Wuzhou so that he could take care of him for the rest of his life, and named him King of Wu, which could be inherited by future generations.

Duan Xiaobai is Duan Xuan's only son, known as Mr. Baiyu.

Six years ago, Duan Xiaobai inherited the position of the old king of Wu, and later married the eldest princess Hua Xiran. A year later, he gave birth to a son, who was later named Duan Hanyu.

In the spacious car, the three of them sat quietly.

After a while, Meng E asked, "Master, what should we do next?"

Fu Tongxi also withdrew Piaoyuan's mind, turned her head slightly to look at Hua Xichen, and said, "Fengzhu, I think that Duan Xiaobai has never cared about the things between you, but now his actions, Could it be that something happened in Wuzhou City? Or he chose Hua Xiqi?"

A sneer appeared on Hua Xichen's face, and he said, "On the surface, Duan Xiaobai doesn't care about world affairs, and he never holds himself up, but his personality is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and he is more arrogant than anyone else in his heart, so he won't take it easy. Who to submit to. Over the years, he has been neutral and did not participate because he feels that the royal family affairs have nothing to do with him. But once his bottom line is touched, he will definitely become a brave tiger."

And Hua Xichen is that greedy jackal, but how can a brave tiger walk with a jackal?

Meng E also agreed, "Wu Wang has been familiar with military books since he was a child, and his military use is not inferior to that of the old Wu Wang, so he can be regarded as a general."

Fu Tongxi half-closed her phoenix eyes, and said softly, "Even if he has been familiar with military books since he was a child, how can those military books be able to explain the ever-changing battlefield?"

Meng E was speechless, looking down at the sword in his hand, he still couldn't face Fu Tongxi calmly, or maybe he couldn't face Fu Tongxi's stomach calmly.

Hua Xichen smiled, and said, "Whether he is a general or not, it has nothing to do with us. This king only knows that he has a knot in his heart and a fatal weakness."

"Hard knot? Weakness?" Fu Tongxi was curious.

"It's his weakness to regard his wife and children as his life. As for the knot in his heart, let's not mention it."

Fu Tongxi glanced at him and thought, why not you?

Hua Xichen smiled lightly, held his hand, and continued, "I think this weakness is in Hua Xiqi's hands right now, so he was forced to leave Wuzhou with his troops. But anyway, he led his troops here It’s true, we can’t underestimate it.”

Then he paused and sighed, "I'm afraid he won't let us go easily."

Hearing this, Fu Tongxi's heart trembled, "Fengzhu..."

Hua Xichen pondered for a while, and said, "Don't worry, I have my own plans. It's just that I need to abandon the cart and ride a horse. Can your body do it?"

Fu Tongxi nodded, the fetus has stabilized in the past three months, and after these days of recuperation, as long as the road is more careful and the medicine is taken on time every day, the problem should not be serious.

It was night, Fu Tongxi closed his eyes but couldn't fall asleep. After a long time, he sighed softly. Although the number of soldiers is not many, it's the quality, but now they have dozens of people, how can they resist thousands of troops and break through?

Now there is only hope, don't meet Duan Xiaobai on the road.

However, with Duan Xiaobai's character, how could they return to Fengshan so smoothly?

It's a pity that people don't count, five days later they met Duan Xiaobai in Mingyue Mountain.

Rather than calling it a mountain, Mingyue Mountain might as well be called a hill. Looking around, the hills are connected for tens of miles.

In April, there are no flowers and trees on the mountain, and it is still desolate.

Ten miles of hills, ten miles of barrenness.

"Master, Mingyue Mountain is just ahead." Meng E rode to the side.

Hua Xichen rode his horse and walked in the front, his eyes were cold and stern, "Cross the mountain."

Walking in the desolate Mingyue Mountain, the team was immediately enveloped by a desolate and chilling atmosphere, which made people feel extremely depressed.

Everyone immediately slowed down and moved forward cautiously.

At this time, Hua Xichen suddenly reined in the reins, and the moon rabbit neighed and stopped.Immediately afterwards, the fifty cavalry around also reined in their horses and stopped in unison.

Hua Xichen immediately pulled out the red silk, wrapped it around Fu Tongxi's chest, and tied it tightly to her, "Tongxi, this way we won't be separated again."

Fu Tongxi took the rein from his hand, felt a little pain in his heart, and said in a low voice, "With you, there is no need to fear life and death."

Meng E handed over a sword, "Sect Master."

Hua Xichen took the sharp sword, put one arm around Fu Tongxi's waist, and held the sword tightly with the other hand, looked around and sneered, "Prepare for battle, here we come."

At this time, there were waves of hoofbeats and human voices ahead, and as the sound of horses approached, dust began to fly, and within a short while, a five thousand army was in front of us.

Among the many soldiers, there was only one man riding a big red horse and wearing a simple blue gown. His hair was untied and loose, and he tapped the jade flute back and forth in an indescribably free and unrestrained way. This man was Duan Xiao white.

Duan Xiaobai pursed his lips, glanced lightly, and then fixed his eyes on the two people in front, pretending to regret, "Xichen, they have been with you for many years, even if you think about it, you don't want to see them die at the same time." So, as long as you are willing to dismount and accept the surrender, and follow me back to Jiangyun, you will be able to avoid harming the innocent, if you insist on resisting, then I will not be polite."

Fu Tongxi's mouth under the veil curled up, thinking in his heart, it's really shameless to say such words now that the swords are facing each other.

A sneer twitched at the corner of Hua Xichen's mouth, and said, "When did you learn to be hypocritical, but it really shouldn't be used between you and me."

After speaking, as soon as Hua Xichen raised his hand, twenty cavalrymen with crossbow arrows stepped forward immediately, forming a figure eight, surrounding Hua Xichen and the others in the middle.

Duan Xiaobai was not annoyed either, the words at the beginning were indeed just a scene.

"I had no intention of interfering in the government affairs. It has nothing to do with me who is the emperor of your Hua family. But now my wife and children are also involved. How can I stay in a corner and stay out of it!"

Fu Tongxi frowned impatiently, moved his mouth, and spit out two words coldly, "Shuo!" Then he bent down, took out a short crossbow from the saddle, raised the crossbow, let go of his index finger, and made two swishes , the arrow left the string and shot through the air.

It was just an instant, and no one reacted, including Hua Xichen who was behind him.

The two arrows hit the red horse's front legs impartially, and the horse neighed and fell to its knees.

Duan Xiaobai frowned slightly, with murderous intent in his eyes, he jumped up from his horse and lightly landed on the horses of the soldiers beside him, "Kill."

"Let's fire, defend." Hua Xichen hugged Fu Tongxi's waist and shouted loudly.

The sharp arrows shot straight over, directly piercing through the soldiers' bodies, wave after wave, without stopping.

Duan Xiaobai easily blocked the incoming arrows with a wave of his hand, his expression was still indifferent, the quiver would always be empty, so he was not in a hurry, and commanded, "Get on the shield, block forward, and surround them."

As the sound fell, hundreds of soldiers holding shields began to move and spread out from both sides, slowly forming a circle. The soldiers in the front were holding shields, and the soldiers in the back were holding spears to wait for the opportunity, layer by layer. They surrounded Hua Xichen and the others.

Hua Xichen watched all this calmly, raised his hand again, "Change the arrow, break it."

Duan Xiaobai wondered in his heart, what kind of person Hua Xichen is, how can he Duan Xiaobai not understand, so he never underestimated him, there is a huge difference in the strength of the two sides, and surrounded by groups, but he can still be orderly and calm To deal with it, he admired this courage and courage.But now knowing that bows and arrows are useless, he still can't figure out the behavior of firing arrows.

Fu Tongxi held the reins with one hand and the short crossbow with the other, and stared closely at the surroundings. Sure enough, within a moment, as he wished, the arrow hit the shield and fell to the ground. And it's getting thicker.

In an instant, the crowd began to scurry, the horses neighed uncomfortably, the dust was flying all over the sky, and the smoke enveloped Mingyue Mountain.

A stern look flashed in Fu Tongxi's phoenix eyes. He knew that when the enemy army was in chaos, he would take advantage of the situation to break out of the encirclement. This battle will only really begin now.

Hua Xichen turned his wrist to block the oncoming arrows. Duan Xiaobai in front of him was not easy to attack. He took a quick look around and looked for the weakest side. With his legs clamped on the horse's belly, he took the lead and walked ahead. , "Go left, ready to attack."

Weapons collided, people turned on their backs, corpses littered the field, and blood opened the way.

Hua Xichen hugged Fu Tongxi's waist tightly with his left hand, and swung the sharp sword mercilessly with his right hand. Before everyone approached them, they were injured by the sword energy and fell down.

After Meng E led some people to press down, the crossbow rockets shot and killed in turn, advancing sequentially, trying to avoid direct confrontation, while the rest escorted Hua Xichen to move forward slowly.

There was a faint sound of the flute in the air, and the sadness lingered in my ears for a long time.

The restless crowd suddenly quieted down, and then attacked Hua Xichen and the others.

Enemies rushed up from the side one after another. At this time, one of them took advantage of the chaos and stabbed the horse's leg with a knife.

Fu Tongxi was startled, the arrow in his hand had already been shot, and he quickly threw it away. He patted Moon Rabbit's neck distressedly, signaling it to be safe and calm.

There was a strong smell of blood in the air, and Hua Xichen's white clothes had already been stained red and stuck to his body with sweat.

In fact, with his skill, even thousands of troops can come and go freely, but now he has to take care of Fu Tongxi, it will inevitably be a little more difficult.

Two hours later, Hua Xichen and the others finally came down from the heavy attack, opened a hole, and broke out.

This battle lasted for more than two hours, Hua Xichen's side was almost wiped out, and Duan Xiaobai's side also lost more than 2000 soldiers.When they left Mingyue Mountain, there were less than ten people left, and both Hua Xichen and Meng E were injured.

Hua Xichen frowned slightly, secretly recalling everything just now, if Duan Xiaobai's sword hadn't been blocked by Meng E, he might not have hurt his arm.

At this moment, Fu Tongxi suddenly fell forward feebly, biting his lips tightly, the pain in his lower abdomen made him unable to speak.

"Tong Xi..." Hua Xichen pulled the horse rope and stopped.

"Don't worry...it's okay. Well...medicine, you'll be fine after taking the medicine...don't stop...go quickly."

After Hua Xichen fed him the next pill, seeing that his face was still pale, she was a little flustered and hugged him helplessly, until the person in her arms was getting colder and colder, Hua Xichen suddenly recovered, Busily input the internal energy into his body slowly.

Behind them, the cavalry led by Duan Xiaobai was quickly approaching them.

Meng E's expression changed immediately, and she urged, "Sect Master, you and Young Master hurry up."

Hua Xichen also glanced back, smiled and said, "I didn't expect him to catch up so quickly, after all, people are not as good as heaven."

Fu Tongxi slowly opened his eyes, "Fengzhu?"

Hua Xichen kissed his hair lightly, and said softly, "Well, don't worry, I will take care of everything. You are too tired and need to sleep for a while."

As soon as he finished speaking, Hua Xichen wanted to touch Fu Tongxi's sleeping hole with a flick of his hand, but Fu Tongxi was already prepared, and when he raised his hand, he firmly grasped his hand, and the sticky feeling came from the palm of his hand. The thick feeling made Fu Tongxi's heart ache, but he still stared at him, gritted his teeth and said word by word, "Hua Xichen, if you dare to leave me alone again, I will let you live in peace."

Hua Xichen frowned slightly, and made a decision in just an instant.

Hand him the reins in your hand again, and then embrace him with open arms. If there is an afterlife, I only wish not to be born into an emperor's family, but to live the most ordinary and simple life with you.

However, within a few moments, Duan Xiaobai and the others had rushed forward.

With such a disparity, no matter how resourceful Hua Xichen is, it will be of no avail.

As more and more people fell down, Hua Xichen's eyes were reddened, and the white clothes on his body had also turned into red clothes, so he couldn't tell whether it was his own or the enemy's.

Because of his protection, Fu Tongxi in his arms was not injured at all.

At this moment, Fu Tongxi seemed to sense something, his body trembled, completely ignoring the soldiers rushing up around him, he tightened the reins suddenly, and the moon rabbit neighed and stopped.

Then, he turned his head and looked in another direction.

After Hua Xichen swung his sword to chop off the rushing person, he followed Fu Tongxi's gaze.
