478: The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch follows
If Nalan Jinxiu didn't know what kind of goods this Liu Chengjin was at this time, it would be really stupid. He brought so many people, as well as archers, that his father would definitely suffer.
"Don't be afraid, I can save the prince from it. ”
Nalan Jinxiu nodded, she knew Mu Li's skills. Although there are many people on the other side, it should be within his control. Besides, the people with my father were all good at marching and fighting, and they were not easy to get along with.
"Don't move then, just hide here. ”
"Yes. She is also self-aware, knowing that if she is exposed, Mu Li will have to be distracted to save her, so it is better not to add to the chaos.
King Zhenbei naturally didn't want to do it, if he tore his face with Liu Chengjin at this time, and his sister moved a little in the court, then Beijiang was really hopeless. It's a pity that he has a bright and upright life, but he doesn't want to be subject to villains.
"Lord Wang, those who know the times are Junjie. Haven't you considered your own problems if you weren't for your high achievements and no one in your eyes, how could you arouse the suspicion of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty?"
Liu Chengjin is still smiling, but the smile is not very pleasant. When he saw that the king of Zhenbei was silent, he became even more energetic: "So, this person can't be too proud, otherwise it will be easy to offend people." ”
The king of Zhenbei was calm and didn't take his words to heart, but the people around him couldn't get used to hearing them, and said loudly: "The prince has been fighting horses for half his life, and he has countless military exploits, how can he be criticized by Rong Er!"
"Yo! The prince is really a royal master, this master speaks, and the servants dare to interject! This is also in a wild place like Northern Xinjiang, if it was in Jinling, he would have been killed with a rod. ”
Liu Chengjin is from a good background and the only male in the family, so he has been raised by his grandmother like golden branches and jade leaves since he was a child. So much so that his every move and vitriol are very much like a woman.
King Zhenbei didn't intend to deal with him, but he insulted his subordinates again and again, they were all people who were born and died with him, how could he tolerate it?
"Northern Xinjiang is a wild land, but the sons and daughters of Northern Xinjiang all value the word affection. As for the minions and masters you are talking about, that is also relative. For example, in front of Liu Guifei, you should be a slave first, then a brother! ”
Liu Chengjin was so angry that he gritted his teeth, he always thought that the king of Zhenbei was a martial artist, but he didn't expect that he was still sharp-toothed. He said to the people around him: "King Zhenbei keeps, I want him to be useful, and the others are killed." ”
Without hesitation, the archers shot at the retinue of the king of Zhenbei, and some of them were killed by arrows on the spot. As soon as King Zhenbei made a move, Mu Li also appeared. He passed through many obstacles and held Yoo Sung-jin hostage.
Don't look at Liu Chengjin's usual spirit, he is actually the most afraid of death. At this time, I saw that Ming's dangling sword blade was against his neck, and he couldn't say a complete word.
He also has henchmen around him, and when he sees the situation, he asks people to stop, and says in a sinister manner: "How are you willing to let go of my family?"
"Retreat. Mu Li still cherishes words like gold at this time.
The man had probably never seen anyone who spoke so little, especially when he was so nervous. He could only say loudly: "If you have any conditions, just put them forward, as long as you don't hurt my family, everything is negotiable." ”
"Let your people stop and let us go. ”
At this time, the king of Zhenbei came over, and those people didn't dare to act rashly because Liu Chengjin was being held hostage, so they let him pass.
"You take this pill, and I'll let you go. ”
Liu Chengjin looked at the black pill in the hand of King Zhenbei, his eyes widened, and he trembled and said, "Is this highly poisonous, and you will die if you eat it for a few days?"
"This is indeed poison, and if you don't get the antidote within half a month, your internal organs will ulcerate and die. If we hurry up, we will definitely be able to reach Jinling within half a month, as long as I can face the saint safely, I will naturally give you the antidote. ”
Liu Chengjin's expression was very hideous, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Why should I believe you? If I bring you to Jinling, and you deny it then, then won't I still die?"
King Zhenbei sneered, and his tone was not without sarcasm: "First Concubine Liu is deeply loved by the saint, do you think I am willing to be the enemy of your Liu family?"
"So you're not going to kill me?"
"You are the only seedling of the Liu family, if I kill you, I am afraid that the people of your Liu family will want to die with me. I don't want to make a fuss. ”
Liu Chengjin gradually believed what he said and swallowed the pill. The medicine was naturally bitter, and as soon as Mu Li let go of him, he leaned on the tree and vomited.
"You can't spit it out. Mu Li said coldly, he calculated the time.
Liu Chengjin was held by his subordinates, and felt that his feet were weak, but he still pointed at Mu Li and scolded: "You cheap slave, today's enemy will never forget it, you just wait to die......!"
Before Liu Chengjin finished speaking, he was shot into his mouth by a feather arrow that broke through the air. The archer's strength was so great that the arrow shot directly through the mouth and peeked out from the back of the head.
Yoo Sung-jin died in an extremely strange posture, and he didn't even have time to exhale in pain. When everyone was shocked by the scene in front of them and didn't react, the sky was full of feather arrows, surrounding everyone.
Mu Li and King Zhenbei reacted the fastest, and the Xuanjia Army had always been well-trained, and after turning back from the initial shock, they hid on the spot.
Nalan Jinxiu saw these things clearly from the outside, and she knew that someone wanted her father's life. When she saw Liu Chengjin's tragic situation and heard the dense sound of arrows, she was not panicked, but she forcibly held back.
When the arrows finally stopped, there was a dead silence in the air. At that density, even if there are survivors, they are bound to be injured. This group of people here, except for Mu Li and the King of Zhenbei, as well as the three people in the shocking clouds, almost had no ability to resist.
"King Zhenbei, Xu Huaiyu, we haven't seen each other for a long time. ”
After a rough male voice, a young man dressed in a Beiyan beard walked slowly. He wasn't born extremely handsome, but he was very wicked.
His long black hair was scattered, and only a small braid was braided on the left side, and a blood-red bead was tied at the end of the braid. The bead was about the size of a fingertip, and it exuded a yin and evil aura.
"Tuoba Tao, it's you. "The king of Zhenbei also reacted at this time, this is a praying mantis catching cicadas, and the yellow finch is behind.
"It's not me, who else can have such scheming and lead such a good show?" Tuoba Tao still smiled evilly, his eyes like a demon crawling out of hell.
"You're very patient. ”
"No! I'm the most impatient, especially when dealing with your Xuanjia Army. Tuoba Tao stroked the red bead at the end of his hair with his fingers, and said lazily: "But as soon as I thought that this would save you from disaster, I had the patience to wait." ”
Liu Chengjin and the people he brought were in northern Xinjiang, and this was a responsibility that the king of Zhenbei could not get rid of. The saint was already suspicious of the Zhenbei Palace, and now that this incident happened, he would definitely think that he had bad intentions and would not help again.
Tuoba Tao's trick is not ruthless.
"But I have to thank this Lord Liu, he's really a straw bag. He took my money and the woman, and left me at my mercy, but he didn't know that what I gave him was his talisman!"
Tuoba Tao said that he seemed to be happy, he raised his head and laughed, and the laughter always maintained a frequency and did not go for a long time. It sounds evil and terrifying.
"Aren't you Daning virtuous? With such a straw bag, you can hold such an important position, isn't it that the heavens are going to kill you? So, ah, your Daning's good days have come to an end. ”
Although King Zhenbei was protected by Mu Li just now, he was still injured. He knew that he was coming to an end, but he had nothing to be unwilling in his heart.
He has been a horse for half his life, he has enjoyed victories, and naturally he has also tasted defeat. The only thing he is worried about now is whether his daughter can control her emotions and not expose herself.
Since Mu Li has already come, then he can be sure that Sheng'er must be not far away. It should have been cruel for her to witness his death, but things were out of his control.
Tuoba Tao didn't expect that the king of Zhenbei could be so calm until now. He had been planning for so long to get to where he is today.
He hoped to hear the lord of the northern frontier, who was worshiped as a god by the people of northern Xinjiang, to be able to whisper in pain and be unwilling. That's how he gets a sense of accomplishment. Otherwise, he is not salty or light, then he feels that his efforts have not been rewarded accordingly.
"Don't you Ning Dynasty have a saying? It is said that the goose beater was pecked by the geese, and I think you are now. ”
King Zhenbei's attitude was very calm: "Are you saying that I am the one who hunts geese, and you are my prey?"
"Heh!" Tuoba Tao sneered: "Death is on the verge of death, and you have to compare your mouth with me, and you really deserve to be the famous king of Zhenbei." Your bearing alone is incomparable to ordinary people. ”
"Thank you for the compliment. ”
Tuoba Tao originally thought that after the king of Zhenbei knew everything, he should be a trapped beast. I didn't expect to say a few words, but I still fell into disadvantage. This made him feel uncomfortable for a while.
"As soon as you die, if something happens to Xu Jince again, will your Zhenbei Mansion completely collapse?" Tuoba Tao's eyes were crooked.
Tuoba Tao was the highest-ranking person in the court of the Northern Yan Dynasty, and was once known as a young genius and ambitious.
He fought Xu Jince in his early years, and he failed miserably every time. And after every failure, he has to suffer the cynicism of others. So he especially hated Zhenbei Wangfu and hated each and every one of them.
They were born luxurious and have always been sought after. Where can we understand how painful it can be for a person from a noble birth to be trampled in the mud?
The Northern Yan people worship the strong man and cannot accept his defeat at all. He had sworn more than once that one day, he would trample the people of Zhenbei Wangfu under his feet......
