Queen's New Clothes

Chapter 132
It was only then that Su Xi remembered that today was the day Wei Feng returned to Beijing.

Maybe it's because too many things happened these days, Su Xi lived in fear every day, so she forgot about it.

The soldiers and horses in the distance are majestic and magnificent.Looking from Su Xi's direction, I saw thousands of troops and horses coming with iron hooves.The line at the back meanders endlessly, but she can only see the person at the front, riding a war horse, wearing bright armor, too far away to see his expression clearly, but she can feel the suppressed coldness around him .

Su Xi guessed that Wei Yan must have lowered his brows at this time, his face was expressionless, and he put away the usual smile on his lips, just like he did many times before when he was angry.

It was clear that they had only been separated for two months, but Su Xi felt as if she hadn't seen him for a long time.She was inexplicably aggrieved, she lowered her head and rubbed her eyes, but she couldn't bear to miss Wei Feng's every move.She lowered her arms and looked at him for a moment. If she hadn't been standing on the city wall with Wei Yuan beside her, she might have rushed down and jumped into his arms immediately.

Su Xi's heart gradually settled down, but she couldn't help but worry about Wei Wei.The city walls and the city are full of Wei Yuan's people, how should he enter the city?
The army in the distance gradually approached, and Su Xi could see Wei Feng's appearance more clearly.Unable to restrain her impulse, she turned around and was about to go downstairs.But just as he took a step forward, two soldiers in armor stood in front of him without saying a word.

Behind him, Wei Yuan's tone was almost cruel: "Look at Mrs. Jin Wang Shizi, don't let her leave the city wall."

Su Xi turned her head and stared at Wei Yuan fiercely, her pink lips tightly pursed.I don't know if it was because of anger or something else, his body trembled slightly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Let me go down."

Wei Yuan grinned calmly.It was as if Su Xi was a canary in his hand, with his wings bound, and he could do whatever he wanted. "Don't worry, brother and sister, I won't hurt you, and I won't touch the child in your belly. You just need to stand here and let Tingzhou see you."

Su Xi opened her eyes, only then did she understand his intentions, and subconsciously turned her head to look outside the city.As the team approached, the soldiers behind raised their bows and arrows and aimed at the top of the city wall.Before she could speak, Wei Yuan ordered coldly, "Close the city gate!"

The order was passed down level by level, and after a while, Su Xi heard a loud "boom", and the city gate was closed heavily.

Wei Feng's soldiers stopped on the opposite side of the moat, Su Xi looked hurriedly, looking for Wei Feng's figure.

Wei Yan stopped at the front, and when she lowered her head, she bumped into his pitch-black eyes.Her throat was a little tight, as if it was choked with a ball of cotton wool. She obviously wanted to tell him that she was full of longing and grievances, but because of the current tense situation, she had to bear it all down.Su Xi blinked, the more she blinked, the blurrier the picture in front of her eyes, Wei Yan was still standing there, but she couldn't see his face clearly.

Wei Yan's black pupils were like black ink, and he stared fixedly at the figure above the city wall.

It was midsummer, and Su Xi's clothes were thin, and her delicate green silk pleated skirt fluttered in the wind, like new shoots drawn from dead branches, slender, delicate, and pitiful, and her every move pulled people's heartstrings.Seeing Wei Yan's face sinking like water, his thin lips pursed into an indifferent arc, it seemed that there was no wave in the ancient well, but the back of his hand holding the rein was already showing veins.

"Master, are you attacking the city?" Chang Hu asked behind him, pulling out his long sword.He has been with Wei Feng for several years, and he is still used to addressing Wei Feng as his son.

The city gate in front of him was closed tightly, and Wei Yuan's archers lined up on the city wall, all pointing cold and gloomy arrows downward.

Wei Yan stared and remained silent.

On the way back, he had already learned about the affairs of the capital, so he hurried all the way, and he shortened the long distance in half a month by him.He was travel-laden, with a trace of tiredness in his expression, but the moment he saw Su Xi, the blood in his whole body froze.

Wei Yuan is not stupid, he knows that Su Xi is his weakness.But he probably didn't know that he did this just to make him finish him faster.

He didn't allow Su Xi to make the slightest mistake, even if he lost a hair, he would kill him.

Wei Yan narrowed his eyes, suppressed his voice, and said word by word: "Siege the city."

Chang Hu heard the words, raised the long sword in his hand, and led the people behind him to rush out first.

The bridge over the moat was closed by Wei Yuan, Chang Hu took off his armor without saying a word, jumped into the water, and swam to the other side.

The soldiers behind followed suit one after another, grounding water.

Arrows rained down on the city wall.The soldier beside Wei Wei raised his crossbow and was about to shoot an arrow at the city wall, when suddenly a hand stretched out in front of him and held his arrow.Wei Yan stared straight ahead, his voice was low, with a hint of warning, "No one is allowed to shoot arrows as the order continues."

As soon as the words fell, some soldier let go of his hand later, and an arrow shot straight towards the city wall.

The arrow was heading towards Wei Yuan, but because of the long distance and poor aim, it veered to the side.It just so happened that Su Xi was standing next to Wei Yuan.

Su Xi's body was stiff, her pupils dilated, she stared blankly at the arrow coming towards her, and forgot to react for a while.Someone pushed her from behind, she staggered back to the side, and the next moment, the arrow was nailed to the place where she was standing just now with a "clank--".

A thin layer of cold sweat dripped from Su Xi's back, and just as she stood firm, she felt a pain in her abdomen.She frowned, leaning on the city wall next to her, her slender fingers tightened slightly.This time the pain was different from the pain just now, she could feel that she might really be giving birth.

After Wei Yuan regained his senses, he looked down the city wall, with a mocking arc on his lips, "It seems that I misunderstood, Ting Zhou, your feelings for your siblings are nothing more than that."

Wei Yan's face was as cold as frost, and his voice was stern: "Who fired the arrow just now?"

The moment the arrow pointed at Su Xi, his heart stopped beating, and the rein in his palm was twisted into powder. He couldn't imagine Su Xi's injury.

When he looked towards the city wall again, Su Xi was nowhere to be seen.

Su Xi didn't go anywhere, she just leaned on the wall and fell down.She had severe stomach pains, and she felt a stream of warm liquid flowing out from under her body.She covered her stomach, raised her wet eyes to look around, and finally landed on the guard who pushed her lightly just now to prevent her from being shot by the arrow, opened her mouth, and begged: "Call me the midwife... ...in the carriage just below the city, please, help me..."

There are a group of old men on the city wall, and I have never seen such a formation.I just feel that Mrs. Jin Wang Shizi's face is unbelievably pale, and her long eyelashes are drooping tiredly, like the wings of a butterfly that can't fly, covering those black and clear eyes.Even such a distressed appearance can make people feel pity.

Someone yelled, "Damn, her water broke——"

Su Xi bit her lower lip tightly, closed her eyes, and kept silent.Except for the first sentence asking for help, I never spoke again.

It was unbelievably quiet under the city wall.At any other time, Wei Feng should have led people to attack, but this time he was quite calm, not only did he not let people shoot arrows, even the few people who attacked the city just now were missing.Wei Yuan thought about it for a second, Su Xi was in his hands, so Wei Yan naturally didn't dare to act rashly, so he didn't think about it.

Wei Yuan pondered for a moment, and soon had a measure in his mind.Su Xi couldn't go down, and he still wanted to keep her to threaten Wei Yan, so even though Su Xi had bitten his lower lip and the skirt of his lower body was soaked in blood, he still didn't let go, let alone asked someone to take Su Xi away. Send it back, but said to a guard: "Call the midwife in the carriage up, if she can't hold on anymore, give birth here."

A guard should be, and walked downstairs.

However, after a long time, the guard did not come up again.

Su Xi's sanity was already a little unclear. She was afraid that she would faint, so she gritted her teeth tightly.Her mother, Yin Shi, once told her that she should not take a break when giving birth, otherwise the child would be bored in the stomach.She didn't dare to rest, but she didn't want to live here, with so many people around watching.She raised her hand, opened her mouth and bit the back of her hand, thinking why Wei Feng didn't come up to save her, why didn't he come...

As soon as Wei Yuan lowered his eyes, he saw water droplets hanging from Su Xi's long eyelashes, trembling with the wind, and falling to the ground.

Wei Yuan frowned slightly, feeling an inexplicable irritability in his heart.He looked away, and saw that the guard hadn't come up yet, and was about to order someone to go down to check, when suddenly, the sound of swords and soldiers facing each other came from below the city.And there is a trend of getting closer.

A soldier wearing a crotch rushed to the city gate and said hurriedly: "My lord, the Zhongcheng Gate has been breached!"

Wei Yuan's expression changed, he took a step forward and said, "What?"

It turned out that what Wei Feng sent was to attack the east and the west.The reason why he was so calm was because he divided the army into two, one was here to distract Wei Yuan, and the other was going around the Zhongchengmen behind to attack the city.There were few soldiers in Zhongchengmen, and they entered the city in a short while.Right now they are coming this way, the two sides are fighting, Wei Yuan's army is like a broken bamboo, and there is a faint tendency to overwhelm Wei Yuan's people.

Immediately afterwards, another soldier went up to the city wall and said, "My lord, General Su led the troops to Donghua Gate—"

There is only one general in the Su family now, and that is Su Zhi, the second master of Su, who was appointed General Zhenxi by Emperor Zhao Yuan.

Wei Yuan's face was overcast, extremely ugly.Isn't Su Zhi far away from Yanmen Pass?When did you rush back?He kicked the soldier's heart, and said angrily: "You can't even guard a city gate, a bunch of trash!"

As soon as the words fell, the city gate below was opened by Wei Yan's people.Soldiers from outside the city gate poured in one after another, and iron cavalry stepped on the wooden bridge, drove across the moat, and entered the city directly.

Su Xi opened her eyes, and vaguely, she seemed to see a tall and tall figure coming to the city wall and walking towards herself.

Immediately afterwards, I fell into a familiar, broad embrace.
