Peerless buns

The sun shines through the branches and leaves, the light and shadow on the ground are mottled, and there is a breeze blowing from time to time. I saw a person lying on a soft couch under the tree. The hem of his white clothes was gently blown by the wind. Impatiently, he gently pressed down the hem of the clothes with his fingers, then narrowed his phoenix eyes, covered his mouth and yawned lightly.

As soon as Wang Xi'er entered the backyard, she saw this appearance and sighed, "My lord, if you are tired, go inside and have a rest."

Fu Tongxi frowned slightly, moved her body and said, "Help me up. Get the carriage ready, and we will go to patrol the city and pick up Tsing Yi back home."

Wang Xier shook his head, stepped forward and slowly helped him up.

Following his movements, there was a clear and pleasant bell sound. Fu Tongxi stood up straight, covered his forehead with his hand, looked up at the sky, and sighed, "Xi'er, how long has it been since Fengzhu left?"

Wang Xi'er glanced at him and replied, "It's almost half a month."

"It's been half a month in a flash, is there any news today?"

"Yes, Feng Wang wants you to rest assured that everything is fine."

Fu Tongxi nodded weakly, it was like this every day, how could he feel at ease and well.

In the capital city, the once prosperous streets are now in a depression. Most of the people fled to the neighboring counties before the army attacked the city. Most of the people who stay in the city are old, weak, young and disabled. The order in the city was once It fell into chaos, but fortunately there were no wars these days, and the city returned to its former stability.

Standing on the city tower, Fu Tongxi looked at the empty streets and sighed, "When the prosperity has come to an end, who remembers the prosperity at the beginning."

Suddenly there was a pain in the abdomen, and Fu Tongxi hurriedly stroked it gently with his hands. These days, the child has grown too much, and he would push him in it from time to time, but it is not as restless as today. After touching it for a long time, the baby is not quiet , a trace of uneasiness slowly rose.

Looking up at the distance, the anxiety that suddenly rose became stronger and stronger and lasted for a long time.

"Xi'er, from today onwards, the army will start to prepare a large number of rolling stones, wood, and arrow feathers. If you don't have them in the city, go out of the city to find them."

Wang Xi'er was puzzled, "My lord, why did you prepare these?"

Fu Tongxi shook her head, "I don't know, I just feel uneasy, maybe it will be needed soon."

"...Sir, are you worried that someone will come and attack you?"

"Now that the city is empty, how can we not guard against it. We only have thousands of soldiers left, even if we add the people in the city and the wounded soldiers, there are no more than [-] people. If Hua Xiqi really sends someone to attack secretly, then we will not be the turkey in the urn. At the mercy of others."

"If he sent troops at will, wouldn't he care about King Feng and the others?"

Fu Tongxi supported his waist with one hand, and walked slowly downstairs, "Because he still has chips in his hands, he has nothing to worry about. Fengzhu has not moved now, and I am afraid that he has not yet found a long-term partner. The princess and their hiding place."

Wang Xi'er sighed, "I didn't expect his heart to be so vicious. To achieve his goal, he would not let his own sister go."

Fu Tongxi glanced at him, and said with a smile, "Xi'er, since ancient times there has been no family ties to speak of in the battle for the throne. Now that Hua Xiqi has ascended to that position, she has come here on the back of thousands of corpses. It's just that Among tens of millions of people, there are also close relatives, best friends, and true love. However, Feng Zhu has always had no intention of these power struggles, and he is not as vicious as Hua Xiqi. You have to bear all this. You have been following Fengzhu until today, seeing how cruel and cold-blooded Hua Xiqi is, you should also understand that if you don't resist, you will only die."

Wang Xi'er turned her head to look at him, "My lord, it is precisely because everyone understands this truth that they have been following Feng Wang all the time."

Fu Tongxi smiled politely, "Yes, he is always so convincing."

The days passed peacefully like water, Fu Tongxi continued to patrol the city every day, and if he was not tired, he would go to the big courtyard to have a look.

It's just that this kind of life lasted for a few days. When Zhao Qian's army came, the entire metropolis returned to chaos.

It was late at night, and the deafening sound of horns instantly broke the originally peaceful night, followed by several days of non-stop killings, and finally turned the metropolis into a hell on earth, with dirty blood and corpses everywhere, and the air was filled with thick blood. taste.

On the tower, a figure with a touch of red stood out. He stood and looked around blankly, muttering incessantly, "Why am I the only one left? Why didn't I die? Why didn't I die?"

A woman in yellow came out slowly from the dark place, pointed to the corpses everywhere below and said, "You are a monster, you have implicated everyone, look, the people who died under this tower were all to protect you .But why don't you die? Because you are a monster."

Hearing the sound, the young man in red looked up at her blankly, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't see the face of the person coming.

The woman in yellow nodded, showing a very gentle smile, "Fu Tongxi, you actually think that a man is pregnant, you are a monster... the thing in your belly is also a monster..."

Fu Tongxi was startled, looked down at the high swollen belly, and repeated blankly, "Monster..."

Then he tilted his head and looked down, feeling something was wrong in his heart, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.Suddenly some blurred pictures flashed in his mind, he wanted to explain, but when he opened his mouth, he found that his throat could no longer make any sound.

A woman's low laughter came from next to her ear, and Fu Tongxi looked at her puzzledly. After seeing her face clearly at this moment, fear slowly welled up in her heart, she shook her head violently, and took a step back.

Because of the low laugh, the woman in yellow's shoulders began to tremble slightly, her originally gentle face suddenly became ferocious, and then she raised her sword and stabbed at her.

Seeing the sword piercing his body, he was powerless, leaned back and fell straight down.

"Ah..." Fu Tongxi sat up abruptly, then gasped for breath, her hair and clothes were already wet with sweat. With a steady beating, he exhaled slowly.This messy dream made him feel more and more uneasy, and he frowned slightly, but this feeling of uneasiness seemed to be similar, just like...just like when he first learned that Hua Mofei was surrounded.

Thinking of this, Fu Tongxi was startled, then picked up the clothes at the side and hurriedly put them on before walking outside the house.

"Xi'er, Tsing Yi!"

Tsing Yi hurriedly ran out of the house, "My lord, what's wrong?"

"Quick, go up to the tower."

At this time, Wang Xi'er also came out of the room and looked at Fu Tongxi blankly.

Fu Tongxi rubbed the aching brows, slowly closed her phoenix eyes, and said softly, "I'm afraid, we will be surrounded."

Hearing this, Wang Xier suddenly woke up, "My lord, you stay in the mansion, Qingyi and I go to the tower first."

Tsing Yi also nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, Dadu City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so don't worry. It's late at night, if someone really attacks, Xi'er and I will go up."

As the uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger, Fu Tongxi didn't bother to argue with them, and walked straight out, "Pass on my order and prepare for war. Let people guard the gate of the city. From now on, no one can enter or leave. Protect the safety of the people in the city."

Fu Tongxi led Wang Xi'er up the tower, while Tsing Yi led a thousand elite soldiers to take charge of the other side.

Torches were already lit on the tower. As the sound of horseshoes approached, Fu Tongxi clenched his fists and stared at the distance. Also ready to stand together in a row.

In less than a moment, tens of thousands of cavalry led by Zhao Qian arrived at the city.

After Zhao Qian looked up and saw the people on the tower, he was slightly taken aback. He didn't expect that Fu Tongxi would be waiting for him on the tower at this time. This feeling made him feel that he was the meat that was offered to be slaughtered.

And Fu Tongxi just sneered when he saw who was coming.

Wang Xi'er was sweating from shock, if it was half an hour late, wouldn't they be about to die here at this moment.Turning his head to look at Fu Tongxi, now that the army is attacking, he still looks calm, unmoved, and can't help secretly admiring.

Zhao Qian made a light move, and a soldier immediately stepped forward and shouted, "The traitor, Fu Tongxi,..."

When Fu Tongxi frowned impatiently when he heard the word traitor, he said with a smile in his heart, when did I, a man from Da Zhou, become a traitor of your Xuan Kingdom?

"Hua Xichen has been captured, and the other rebellious officials have surrendered. If you surrender now, Lord Taiwei will..."

Fu Tongxi squinted her phoenix eyes slightly, took the longbow of a soldier beside her, nocked an arrow, and the arrow whizzed away and shot straight out.

The soldier who was shouting just now suddenly fell down, and the surroundings were immediately silent.

Fu Tongxi breathed a sigh of relief, secretly wondering why I would turn against you if I wanted to surrender, and why I was so sloppy every time I fought.

Wang Xi'er looked at Fu Tongxi in surprise, and praised, "My lord, you are good at archery."

The corners of Fu Tongxi's mouth twitched slightly, "Well, in fact, I only learned how to use a bow and arrow in the battle at the Imperial Tomb. This...is really lucky."

The corner of Wang Xi'er's mouth twitched, and he said, "My lord, Xi'er will fight in close quarters. If you attack later, you must follow behind Xi'er."

Fu Tongxi smiled, "Don't panic, they won't be able to enter the city in a short time, and naturally they won't be able to come up today."

Zhao Qian was stunned on the horse for a while, until a person next to him called him, and then he came back to his senses, thinking that he had fought countless battles, and this was the first time he encountered such absurd things, no wonder he couldn't help but I was stunned.

Zhao Qian narrowed his eyes slightly and ordered, "Siege the city."

Fu Tongxi took a step back, and with a wave of his hand, countless rolling stones and trees fell like raindrops, with boiling water and hot oil pouring down from time to time.

As the rolling stones fell down one after another, the ladder broke immediately, and none of the soldiers rushing to the front of the ladder was spared. Someone kept screaming that it had fallen, and someone immediately repaired it.

After Rolling Stone made an attack, he switched to crossbow arrows and started attacking again.

In an instant, the sound of killing, screaming, and falling of rolling stones and trees broke the peaceful night, the ground was stained with blood, and the entire outside of the capital city was full of killing scenes.

"Young master, this kind of people who only play sneak attacks in the middle of the night, they deserve to be served with rolling stones and trees. It would be great if the old fox could die in a panic at this moment."

Fu Tongxi shook his head and said unhurriedly, "Although this is good, it is not a long-term solution after all. If it goes on for a long time, we will definitely be trapped in the city."

Wang Xi'er was taken aback for a moment, and her originally relaxed mood immediately became tense again, her eyes fixed on the bottom.

Seeing him like this, Fu Tongxi felt a little funny, patted him on the shoulder, and said softly, "Don't worry, Xi'er, I will definitely protect you."

Wang Xi'er groaned, and suddenly remembered what the soldier said just now, and couldn't help asking, "My lord, what that man said just now..."

"Mo Xin." Fu Tongxi only said two words lightly, and then stopped talking.

The battle didn't last long, and it ended with Zhao Qian's defeat and retreat.
