132. There are no waves in the ancient well
Only then did Su Xi remember that today was the day when Wei Feng returned to Beijing.
Xu is that there are too many things that have happened in the past few days, and Su Xi lives in fear every day, and he forgets about it.
In the distance, the soldiers and horses are magnificent. Looking from the direction of Su Xi, I saw thousands of troops and horses coming on iron hooves. The team behind was endless, but she could only see the person in the front, riding a war horse, wearing bright light armor, too far away to see his expression clearly, but she could feel the suppressed coldness around him.
Su Xi guessed that at this time, Wei Feng must have low eyebrows, expressionless, and put away the usual smile on his lips, just like many times before when he was angry.
It was clear that it had only been two months apart, but Su Xi felt as if he hadn't seen him for a long time. She was inexplicably a little aggrieved, lowered her head and rubbed her eyes, but she was reluctant to miss Wei Feng's every move. Lowering her arms and looking at him for a moment, if it weren't for herself standing on the city wall with Wei Yuan standing beside her, she might have rushed down immediately and threw herself into his arms.
Su Xi's heart slowly settled down, but he began to worry about Wei Feng again, the city wall and the city were all Wei Yuan's people, how should he enter the city?
The army in the distance gradually approached, and Su Xi saw Wei Feng's appearance more clearly. She couldn't resist the urge and turned to go downstairs. But he had barely taken a step when two soldiers in armor stood in front of him without saying a word.
Behind him, Wei Yuan's tone was almost cruel: "Looking at the wife of the prince of Jin, don't let her leave the city wall for half a step." β
Su Xi turned his head and glared at Wei Yuan fiercely, his pink lips pursed. I don't know if it's because of anger or something else, my body trembled slightly, and I gritted my teeth and said, "Let me go down." β
Wei Yuan grinned and smiled quite calmly. It was as if Su Xi was a canary in his hand, with his wings bound, and he could do whatever he wanted. "Brother and sister, don't worry, I won't hurt you, and I won't touch the child in your belly. All you have to do is stand here and ask Wei Feng to watch. β
Su Xi opened his eyes, only then did he understand his intentions, and subconsciously turned his head to look outside the city. The team approached, and the soldiers behind raised their bows and arrows, aiming at the top of the walls. Without waiting for her to speak, Wei Yuan coldly ordered: "Close the city gate!" β
The order was passed down one by one, and after a while, Su Xi heard a loud "boom" and the city gate was closed.
Wei Feng's soldiers stopped on the other side of the moat, and Su Xi looked at it in a hurry, looking for Wei Feng's figure.
Wei Feng stopped at the front, and as soon as she lowered her head, she crashed into his inky eyes. Her throat was a little tight, as if she had choked on a ball of cotton wool, and she obviously wanted to say it to him with thoughts and grievances, but because of the tense situation at the moment, she had to endure it all. Su Xi blinked, the more she blinked, the more blurred the picture became, Wei Feng was still standing there, but she couldn't see his face clearly.
Wei Feng's black eyes were like ink, and he looked at the figure above the city wall fixedly.
It is the height of summer, Su Xi's clothes are thin, and the delicate green silk pleated skirt hunts with the wind, like a new shoot drawn from a dead branch, slender, delicate, and pitiful, and every move tugs at people's heartstrings. I saw that Wei Feng's face was sinking like water, his thin lips were pursed into an indifferent arc, it seemed that there were no waves in the ancient well, but the back of the hand holding the reins was already covered with green tendons.

"Lord Shizi, are you attacking the city?" Behind him, Chang Hu drew his long sword and asked. He has followed Wei Feng for several years, and now he is still used to calling Wei Feng the prince.
The city gate in front of him was closed, and on the city wall, Wei Yuan's archers lined up, and the cold and gloomy arrows pointed downward.
Wei Feng stared and was silent.
On the way back, he had already learned about the capital, and he had worked hard all the way, and it took half a month to walk far, and he shortened it by half. He was dusty, and there was a hint of tiredness in his demeanor, but the moment he saw Su Xi, the blood all over his body coagulated.
Wei Yuan was not stupid, he knew that Su Xi was his weakness. But he probably didn't know that he did this just to get him to finish him faster.
He didn't allow Su Xi to have the slightest mistake, even if he was missing a hair, Wei Feng would kill him.
Wei Feng narrowed his eyes, suppressed his voice, and said word by word: "Siege." β
Hearing this, Chang Hu raised the long sword in his hand and led the men and horses behind him to rush out first.
The bridge of the moat was put away by Wei Yuan, and Chang Hu took off his armor without saying a word, jumped into the water, and swam to the opposite bank.
The soldiers in the back followed suit, one by one.
Arrows rained down on the walls. The soldier beside Wei Feng raised his bow and crossbow and was about to shoot an arrow at the city wall, but a hand suddenly stretched out in front of him and held his arrow. Wei Feng looked straight ahead, his voice was very low, with a hint of warning, "If the order goes down, no one is allowed to release arrows." β
As soon as he finished speaking, some soldier behind him let go of his hand, and an arrow shot straight towards the city wall.
The arrow was heading towards Wei Yuan, but because of the long distance, the accuracy was not good, so it was deflected to the side. It just so happened that Su Xi was standing next to Wei Yuan.
Su Xi's body stiffened, her pupils dilated, and she looked at the arrows coming towards her in a daze, and forgot to react for a while. Behind her, who pushed her, she staggered to the side and retreated, and in the next moment, the arrow was nailed to the place where she had just stood.
A thin layer of cold sweat soaked out of Su Xi's back, and as soon as he stood firmly, he felt a pain in his abdomen. She frowned, leaning against the wall next to her, her slender fingers tightening slightly. This time it was different from the pain just now, and she could feel that she might really be giving birth.
After Wei Yuan came back to his senses, he looked under the city wall, and his mouth set off a mocking arc, "It seems that I misunderstood, Ting Zhou, your feelings for your younger siblings are nothing more than that." β
Wei Feng's face was as cold as frost, and his voice was cold: "Who released the arrow just now?" β
The moment the arrow pointed at Su Xi, his heartbeat stopped, and the reins in his palm were twisted into powder, and he couldn't imagine Su Xi's injury.
When I looked at the city wall again, Su Xi was gone.
Su Xi didn't go anywhere, just leaned against the wall and fell. Her stomach hurt terribly, and for a while, she only felt a warm liquid flowing from under her. She clutched her stomach, raised her wet eyes and looked around, and finally landed on the guard who had gently pushed her just now to avoid being shot by the arrow, opened her mouth, and begged, "Help me call the midwife...... It's in the carriage under the city, please, help me ......"
The city walls are full of big men, and they have never seen this kind of formation. I only felt that Mrs. Shizi of the King of Jin's face was so white that she couldn't speak, and her thick eyelashes hung tiredly, like butterfly wings that couldn't fly, covering those black and clear eyes. Even the appearance of such a wolf bèi can also make people feel pity.
I don't know who shouted, "Damn, her amniotic water brokeβ"
Su Xi bit her lower lip, closed her eyes, and didn't snort. Except for the first words of help, I didn't open my mouth again.
*
It was a little quiet under the walls. At any time, Wei Feng should have led people to attack a long time ago, but this time he was quite calm, not only did he not let people release arrows, but even the few people who were attacking the city just now were nowhere to be found. Wei Yuan thought about it, Su Xi was in his hands, Wei Feng naturally didn't dare to act rashly, so he didn't think about it carefully.
Wei Yuan pondered for a moment, and his heart quickly had a measurement. Su Xi couldn't go down, he still had to keep her to threaten Wei Feng, so although Su Xi had bitten out the blood on his lower lip and the skirt on his lower body was also soaked with blood, he still didn't let go, let alone ask someone to send Su Xi back, but said to a guard: "Call the midwife in the carriage up, if you can't hold on, you will give birth here." β
One of the guards should be, and go downstairs.
But after a long time, the guard did not come up again.
Su Xi's mind was already a little unclear, and she was afraid that she would be unconscious, so she clenched her teeth. Her mother, Yin, once told her that she couldn't rest her breath when giving birth, otherwise the child would be suffocated in the stomach. She didn't dare to rest, but she didn't want to be born here, and so many people around her were watching. She raised her hand, opened her mouth and bit the back of her hand, thinking to herself why Wei Feng hadn't come up to save her, why hadn't he come yet......
As soon as Wei Yuan lowered his eyes, he saw that Su Xi's long eyelashes were hanging with water droplets, and they trembled with the wind and fell to the ground.
Wei Yuan frowned slightly, and an inexplicable irritability surged in his heart. He looked away, and saw that the guard had not yet come up, and was about to order someone to go down to check, when suddenly there was the sound of swords facing each other and fighting each other from under the city. And there is a tendency to get closer and closer.
A soldier wearing a crotch rushed to the city gate, and said with a hurried expression: "Lord Shizi, the Zhongcheng Gate has been breached!" β
Wei Yuan's face changed, and he stepped forward and said, "What? β
It turned out that Wei Feng was planning to attack the east and the west. The reason why he was so calm was because he divided the army into two groups, one here to attract Wei Yuan's attention, and the other to go around the Zhongcheng Gate to attack the city. Zhongchengmen had few soldiers, and it didn't take long to attack the city. Right now, they are coming this way, the two sides are fighting, Wei Feng's army is like a bamboo, and there is a faint tendency to overwhelm Wei Yuan.
Immediately afterwards, another soldier went up to the city wall and said, "Lord Shizi, General Su led the troops to Donghua Gateββ"
The Su family now has only one general, that is, Su Zhi, the second master of Su who was named the general of Zhenxi by Emperor Zhaoyuan before.
Wei Yuan's face was cloudy and extremely ugly. Isn't Su Zhi far away in Yanmen Pass? When did you rush back? He kicked the soldier in the heart and said angrily, "I can't even stand a city gate, a bunch of waste!" β
As soon as the words fell, the city gate below was opened by the guards of Feng. Soldiers poured in from outside the city gates, and iron horsemen stepped on wooden bridges, drove across the moat, and went straight into the city.

Su Xi opened his eyes, and in a vague way, he seemed to see a tall and tall figure coming to the city wall and walking towards him.
Immediately after, he fell into a familiar, wide embrace.
