Dressed as the last nine-tailed fox

Chapter 355: Destroying the City (2)

"Your Highness." Fu Rou frowned, her expression unprecedentedly serious, "Such a joke is not funny."

After saying that, Fu Rou bit her lip, and her idea of ​​choosing another wise master became more determined. She didn't expect that Pei Yan Tianjun, who was always in control of the situation, would give birth to a prodigal like Pei Enze.

After all, having worked with Pei Yan for many years, Fu Rou still had some feelings for him, so in this moment of silence, Fu Rou mourned for the future of the Celestial Clan in her heart, thus fulfilling her friendship with Pei Yan.

"You don't believe it? You still think I'm joking?" Pei Enze didn't understand how he gave Fu Rou the illusion that he was a joker, when he was obviously very serious.

Fu Rou said by analogy: "Your Highness, as long as it is a normal creature with no brain problems, it will not cut off an arm for no reason."

It's no wonder that Fu Rou is so sure. If someone else were in her position, they would have the same illusion. Over the years, Fuxing City has provided a steady supply of gold to the Celestial Clan and has long been deeply bound to the Celestial Clan, serving as the Celestial Clan's right-hand man.

If Pei Enze wanted to destroy Fuxing City, the Celestial Clan would definitely suffer a heavy loss.

Fu Rou looked at Pei Enze with some amusement. Even if this naive and kind-hearted nobleman in front of her had compassion for the wronged souls in the underground, as the prince of the Celestial Clan, he would not be stupid enough to do such a laborious and thankless task.

Fu Rou kindly reminded him, “Your Highness, if you want to achieve great things, you must throw away your conscience.”

"Cut off one of my arms?" Pei Enze rubbed his left arm up and down with his right hand, "But if the inside is already rotten, if I don't cut off this arm, I will lose my life."

Pei Enze slowly raised his eyes and looked at Fu Rou while speaking, "What do you think, Lord Fu, should I cut off my arm or not?"

Hearing this, Fu Rou's face instantly turned gloomy, "From what Your Highness said, do you want to be an enemy of the Emperor?"

Speaking of Pei Yan, Fu Rou felt more confident. She snorted and reminded him, "Even if Your Highness is the future successor of the Celestial Clan, the one in charge now is still the Celestial Sovereign! Aren't you afraid of being punished by the Celestial Sovereign for doing this now?"

"Lord Fu, you may not know me very well." Pei Enze smiled and shook his head, "I never do anything that I am not sure of."

Fu Rou's face changed, and she quickly took out a black token from her bosom.

The edge of the token was inlaid with gold, and a large word "Yan" was printed on it.

This token was handed over to Fu Rou by Pei Yan himself. Pei Yan and Fu Rou have always been in one-way contact, and the initiative has always been in the hands of the Celestial Clan. Fu Rou could only stay in Fuxing City, waiting for Pei Yan's orders.

Only this token can allow Fu Rou to contact Pei Yan actively. Fu Rou clearly remembers what Pei Yan said when he gave her the token: It should not be used unless it is a matter of life and death.

Now is the critical moment for the survival of Fuxing City. Fu Rou threw the token upwards, but the token did not fall down, but floated in the air.

Fu Rou knelt on one knee respectfully in front of the token, crying miserably and aggrievedly: "I beg you, my God, to make the decision for my Fuxing City! I beg you, my God, to make the decision for my Fuxing City!"

Pei Yan did not respond immediately, but Fu Rou did not care. She continued, "Please save me, my Lord! Please save me, my Lord!" Fu Rou wiped away the non-existent tears from her eyes while speaking. "Fuxing City has always been devoted to the Celestial Clan, and the entire clan has never had any second thoughts. But as soon as the Crown Prince showed up, they wanted to massacre the city without saying a word. I don't know what I did wrong to accidentally offend the Crown Prince. I am willing to use my life to make amends to the Crown Prince, but I hope the Lord can persuade the Crown Prince to let my citizens go!"

Yi Changle listened to Fu Rou's crying, pulled the corners of his mouth speechlessly, looked up at Pei Enze, and asked: "Pei Yan would believe such poor acting skills?"

"My father..." Pei Enze's eyes darkened, "He doesn't care about these things. In his eyes, he can only see what he wants."

……

Fuzhu lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. What happened in the gold mine always made her uneasy. Thinking of the face of Young Master Tian, ​​she even felt a sense of powerlessness, as if she knew a storm was coming but was unable to stop it.

After thinking for a long time, Fu Rou decided to get up and do something. She comforted herself that no matter what happened, Fuxing City would always be protected by the Celestial Clan. As a member of Fuxing City, she should remind Fu Rou and tell her that perhaps Fuxing City was not as hidden as they imagined.

Fuzhu walked towards Furou's study with a nervous mood, and did not notice that there was a shadow behind her, which had quietly followed her.

……

After crying for a while, Zhiyi's mood calmed down a lot. She didn't want to face Mu Xu's worried eyes, so she made an excuse and slipped out the door.

Zhiyi walked aimlessly, and unexpectedly walked back to Fuzhu's yard. She stared at the closed gate, with a strange light flashing in her yellow eyes, and her tone was even more persistent as if she was possessed: "I want to see the young master Tian with my own eyes, I must confirm with my own eyes whether the young master Tian is still alive..."

Zhiyi subconsciously clenched his fists, "Fuzhu, you'd better not lie to me, otherwise, even if I risk my life, I will definitely avenge Master Tian."

……

The light of day can illuminate darkness, but the light emitted by gold seems to be even brighter, reflecting people's hearts.

When the first light appeared in the sky, a woman was kneeling in a magnificent room that smelled of books. She covered her face and cried helplessly, but on the exposed lower half of her face, the corners of her mouth were strangely curved, as if she was smiling.

Standing opposite were three men of extraordinary temperament. They were indifferent to the woman's crying, and there was even a hint of undisguised disgust between their brows.

When Bok Joo opened the door, she saw this strange scene.

"Mother?" It was the first time that Bok Joo saw Bok Rou in such a miserable state. She stopped in shock.

Fu Rou didn't even glance at Fu Zhu, perhaps because she didn't care, or maybe she didn't have the heart to care at all, she murmured, "No, no, no..."

Fu Rou's voice helped Fu Zhu regain some of his composure. "Mother!" Fu Zhu trotted towards Fu Rou, squatted down smoothly, and reached out to support Fu Rou's shaky body. She asked with concern, "Mother, what happened to you?"

Without waiting for Fu Rou to answer, she turned around and glared at Yi Changle and the other two, and said in a bad tone: "Who are you?" "No... no... we won't be abandoned..." Fu Rou didn't even notice Fu Zhu's existence, and the only response to Fu Zhu was the words she kept repeating.

"Abandon?" Fuzhu grasped the key point. Anything related to the word "abandon" could never be a good thing. Coupled with Furou's current appearance, Fuzhu couldn't help but frown.

"Mother!" Fuzhu shook Furou vigorously, trying to wake her up, "What happened?"

"Zhu'er..." Fu Rou slowly raised her eyes, her gaze passed over Fu Zhu, staying for just a moment, then moved upwards little by little, until it stagnated in mid-air for a long time.

Fuzhu followed Furou's line of sight and saw a token floating in the air. Fuzhu felt familiar with the token and immediately thought, "This is..." Fuzhu was Furou's most valued daughter and her favorite successor, so Furou had mentioned the token to Fuzhu and had shown it to her before. Therefore, it didn't take Fuzhu long to recognize the token and said in a deep voice, "A token to contact the Celestial Clan."

Thinking of the word "abandon" that Fu Rou had been saying, Fu Zhu felt her scalp tighten, but she still held on to some hope in her heart, "Mother, what on earth could have made you take out this token?"

Fu Rou just stared at the token in the air.

"At this point, City Lord Fu still refuses to give up?" Yi Changle did not miss the glimmer of hope that still remained in Fu Rou's eyes.

"Who are you three?" Hearing the voice, Fuzhu noticed Yi Changle and the other two in the room. She looked at them all vigilantly, while remembering to protect Furou behind her.

Seeing Fuzhu standing in front of her, Furou's face showed a trace of relief. Then she patted Fuzhu and motioned Fuzhu to help her up. As the lord of Fuxing City, even if she lost the protection of the Celestial Clan, the dignity and respect of Fuxing City could not be lost.

After getting up, Fu Rou first straightened her clothes. After all the wrinkles from kneeling were smoothed out, Fu Rou looked at Pei Enze and introduced Fu Zhu, "This is the prince of the Celestial Clan."

As for Yi Changle and Kaitian, they were merely Pei Enze's attendants, and Fu Rou didn't bother to introduce them specifically.

"He is the Crown Prince of the Celestial Clan?" Although Fuzhu was puzzled by the atmosphere in the room, she had to admit that Pei Enze's demeanor was very consistent with this identity. "Mother, since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here, why do you still want to use this token?"

"Because..." Fu Rou was at a loss for words for such desperate news. After taking a deep breath, she continued, "He is here to destroy the city."

"Mother, stop joking." Anyone who heard the news of the destruction of the city would have the same reaction as Fuzhu. The Celestial Clan needed Fuxing City right at that time, and there was no reason for the Celestial Clan's prince to attack Fuxing City.

"Your mother wasn't kidding." Pei Enze looked at Fuzhu and asked in confusion, "Why are you so surprised? Aren't the things that Fuxingcheng did all damnable?"

"Everything that Fuxing City does is done for the Celestial Clan!" Fuzhu looked at Pei Enze fiercely, but the moment they met eyes, she was frightened by his aura and hurriedly avoided Pei Enze's sight.

"Zhu'er." Fu Rou saw everything, took Fu Zhu's hand and tried to comfort her, saying: "I don't believe it either, but Tian Jun didn't respond at all."

At this point, Fu Rou had to admit, "We have indeed been abandoned by the Celestial Clan."

Fuzhu felt the coldness in her palm, "But mother, this doesn't make any sense." Fuzhu calmly analyzed, "Everything we do is to obey the orders of the Heavenly Monarch. We do this for the future of the Heavenly Clan. There is no reason for the Heavenly Clan to abandon us."

Hearing this, Pei Enze changed his expression of indifference and seriousness, and clarified: "What you followed was never the Celestial Clan, but Pei Yan."

"We in the Celestial Clan would not bother to do such things." Pei Enze's tone was filled with contempt.

"You, the Celestial Clan, don't bother to do this kind of thing?" Fu Rou laughed as if she had heard a huge joke, and then retorted: "In the beginning, it was Pei Yan who came to our Fuxing City first!"

"Your Highness, do you think that our small Fuxing City has the ability to influence the underworld to change the fate book?" Fu Rou raised the corners of her mouth a little more strangely at Pei Enze, "Skinning, imprisoning souls to dig gold mines, and wearing skins to trick people into Fuxing City, these are all methods taught to us by the Heavenly Monarch."

"Now, you, the Celestial Clan, don't want to do this anymore and want to get out of this with a clean slate, so you want to throw all the dirty water on our Fuxing City. I tell you it's impossible!" Fu Rou pointed at Pei Enze's face and said fiercely, "Do you think you can rest easy if you let me call back all the citizens and then destroy Fuxing City?"

"You are still too young." Fu Rou sneered and threatened: "I have already prepared a backup plan. If you dare to attack Fuxing City today, the ugly deeds done by the Celestial Clan will spread throughout the Three Realms tomorrow. I wonder how the Celestial Clan can gain a foothold in the Three Realms in the future!"

Pei Enze's eyes darkened.

Seeing this, Fu Rou felt that her threat had worked. "Your Highness the Crown Prince is kind-hearted, I can understand that. How about the cooperation between Fuxing City and the Celestial Clan come to an end? You lead the Celestial Clan on the sunny road, and I lead Fuxing City on the single-plank bridge. We will not interfere with each other in the future. How about that?"

After saying that, seeing that Pei Enze's face was still not looking good, Fu Rou added: "I can assure you that even if the existence of Fuxing City is exposed in the future, Fuxing City will never mention the word "Tianzu"."

Pei Enze shook his head, "Wrong."

Hearing the answer that was not what she expected, Fu Rou said unhappily, "Your Highness, even a rabbit will bite when it gets angry. You pushed me to this point. Aren't you afraid that I will end up with a fight to the death with the Celestial Clan?"

"Just you?" Pei Enze raised the corner of his lips, "I don't care about it."

"you!"

"Your Highness, do you not care about the future of the Celestial Clan at all?" Fuzhu said unwillingly, "When I think about you taking over the Celestial Clan in the future, I feel sad for the Celestial Clan."

Pei Enze didn't care about the jumping Fu Rou mother and daughter, and turned his gaze to Yi Changle, and said calmly: "My purpose in coming to Fuxing City is just to atone for Pei Yan's sins and get things back on track."

Yi Changle nodded slightly at Pei Enze, indicating that he could do whatever he wanted.

After getting his consent, Pei Enze retracted his gaze and continued with his previous words, saying coldly: "You guessed wrong, Pei Yan did not abandon you as a partner."

Fu Rou showed a hint of joy on her face, and asked quickly, "Why didn't the Heavenly Monarch respond?"

"The reason why he doesn't respond to you is because he is in trouble now." After saying that, Pei Enze raised his hand and shattered the token in the air. The token turned into a puff of black smoke and then completely disappeared from everyone's sight.
