479: Tiger's mouth
King Zhenbei knew the whole story, and he also knew the origin of Tuoba Tao's resentment, so he knew how to stab and provoke him: "You are a very strong person, and when you treat people who are on your par, all you think about is to defeat them." ”
"Of course, you should be proud that I can treat you as an opponent. ”
"You don't know if people see you as an adversary. ”
"What do you mean by that?"
"You have always been compared to Xu Jince, always hoping that you can beat him. But do you know that you are inferior to him in everything whether it is your appearance, your character, or even the strategy of leading soldiers. King Zhenbei paused deliberately when he said this, and then said proudly: "I will never be able to compare with him." ”
Tuoba Tao usually hates others the most when he talks about Xu Jince, and he just took the initiative to mention it, also to suppress the arrogance of King Zhenbei. Who knows, it was still countered by someone.
He was furious, shook his sleeves, and said coldly: "The general of the defeated army, how can you speak bravely? ”
King Zhenbei also laughed, his laughter was heroic and broad, and his tone was also heartfelt: "I am not defeated by you, but by the hearts of the people." ”
I misestimated the squalor of the Jinling court, thinking that they would fight only when they had nothing to do; I also misestimated the suspicion of the saints, thinking that they would never abandon the northern frontier when they were at stake......
There are always two things in the world that make people feel particularly powerless and desolate, that is, the twilight of beauty and the unpaid ambition. How could he not care about the constant war in northern Xinjiang and the displacement of the people? It's just that he doesn't have the ability to stop this.
These words were buried in his heart, and he didn't say them, because he didn't want his relatives to be painful and his enemies to be happy.
"People's hearts. Hahaha, you have to attribute your failures to people's hearts, that's not bad either. ”
King Zhenbei looked at Tuoba Tao, looked intently, and saw him deeply in his eyes like that. Then he said clearly: "Do you think that with the support of Nan Chu, you will be able to achieve what you want? Don't forget to seek skin with the tiger, and in the end it is very likely to become someone's meal." ”
"I said that you are really doing your best for the northern Xinjiang, and it has come to this time, and you are still thinking about provoking. ”
"Whether I'm stirring up trouble or not, you should know best. Nan Chu pretended to be friendly with Daning, and now he has bought off important officials, do you think he is willing to get a piece of the pie with you?"
Tuoba Tao was still playing with his pigtail, but if he was careful, he could see that he clenched his fists very hard. It can be seen that he is also not at ease with his current allies.
"Northern Xinjiang and Northern Yan could have coexisted peacefully. You have always been like a plate of scattered sand, if I wanted to break you all, Beiyan would have ceased to exist for so many years. Because of the little resentment in your heart, you chose to form an alliance with Nanchu, but you were afraid that you would end up ruining Beiyan. And you become the sinner of the ages. ”
"Do you think I'll be afraid?" Tuoba Tao looked at King Zhenbei and said in a sarcastic tone: "I'm not as hypocritical as you, and I even worry about my reputation after death." I live, and it is enough for them to respect me. By the day I die, even if they like to whip corpses, it will have nothing to do with me. ”
"Beiyan has you, it's a big disaster. ”
Tuoba Tao This is the first time he has really come face to face with the king of Zhenbei. In his understanding, King Zhenbei was a talented and handsome talent, and he didn't know that his words were so sharp. Let him continue, for fear that it will shake the morale of the army.
"How do you want to die? Do you want to be hanged with an arrow, or do you want to be hanged? Or if you don't want to die, I can also consider making you my slave. Tuoba Tao's tone was frivolous and unruly to the point of disgusting.
"Shut up!" At this time, a person stood up, it was the entourage of the king of Zhenbei, he was hit by an arrow in the lower abdomen, and he looked not lightly injured.
"I hate it when I talk and have dogs barking around me, which is a bump in the fun. Liu Chengjin took the bow of the person next to him, pulled the bow and shot the arrow very slowly, and the entourage was directly pierced through the chest by an arrow and died on the spot.
"Stop!" Before his arrow could be fired, King Zhenbei had already shouted loudly, "Your purpose is only to humiliate me and let them go." ”
"Let it go?" Liu Chengjin raised his eyebrows, looking worried: "I'm a murderer, but whoever has passed under my hands has never lived." This request you are making now makes me feel very embarrassed. ”
"What the hell do you want!"
"It is said that the king of Zhenbei is heroic by nature, I want you to live, and I must not die before I let you die. Where there is life, there is hope. Don't you want to kill me, as long as you live, there is hope. ”
To live, you will inevitably be humiliated.
The king of Zhenbei is the soul of the Zhenbei Palace, the lord of northern Xinjiang, and the god that the people of northern Xinjiang look up to. How can a noble born and a frank man be reduced to human hands and be bullied?
It was precisely because of this that Tuoba Tao threatened him with the lives of the remaining people. What he wants is absolute submission, and he wants the people of northern Xinjiang to be afraid when they hear it. The best way to do that is to trample the God of their hearts under their feet.
"Since we joined the Xuanjia Army, we have put life and death aside. Now we must not become a burden to the prince, and we must die frankly and fight. ”
As soon as these words came out, those who were hit by the arrows stood up.
Tuoba Tao looked at them with interest, as if he was looking at a swarm of ants. He made people withdraw their bows and arrows, trying to strangle them slowly, as if he was having fun.
Then he sneered and said: "I brought 6,000 elite soldiers, and you are only a few dozen people, how can you be invincible." Moreover, now that you are all wounded, this act is tantamount to striking an egg against a stone. I didn't expect you people in the Ning Dynasty to be so stupid. ”
"You have no loyalty, so you don't understand our preciousness. ”
Nalan Jinxiu watched in the woods, feeling deep despair. She watched those wounded people turn into souls under the knife one by one, and she did not give up resistance until she died, and her heart was not shocked. The Xuanjia Army turned out to be like this, so not afraid of death, so heroic.
watched Mu Li and the King of Zhenbei try to rush out, but they were blocked by many obstacles. These two people were so important in her life if they died in this ......
She didn't dare to think about it anymore, so she only turned her eyes to Tuoba Tao. He sat on the step and walked leisurely, as if watching the king of Zhenbei and others fight as trapped beasts, which was very interesting.
Nalan Jinxiu found that the state of the Beiyan people was not very good. Maybe because they were bound to win, they underestimated the enemy, and even Tuoba Tao made a nap.
Here's your chance!
She wandered around and found Ming Hong, the mount of the King of Zhenbei. Ming Hong is a famous horse, with great aura, and is trying to rush into the crowd at this time.
She looked at her Lingbao and Mu Li's shadow again, and just as they were about to hide in the woods, she abandoned them. Normally they would follow not far away, but now they were mixed in with the other horses.
The war horses used by the Xuanjia Army are all trained. She had followed her brother to the Xuanjia Army Cavalry Regiment and knew the whistle of taming horses.
She put her finger to her lips, and the whistle sounded, and the horse became fierce at once, trying to cross the obstacle and find her master. Lingbao returned to her side.
Nalan Jinxiu turned over and got on the horse without hesitation, clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and rushed over as fast as he could. She lay down on the horse's back, and when she got to the side of King Zhenbei and Mu Li, she pulled King Zhenbei onto the horse.
At this time, the Northern Yan people also reacted, and they mobilized archers to shoot them. It's a pity that the formation of the archers just now has long been messed up, and Lingbao is a spirit horse, so it is already difficult to stop it.
Mu Li also recalled the Shadow, the Shadow was larger than Lingbao, and its speed was faster than Lingbao. Mu Li followed them closely, clearing the way for them.
As soon as he got on the horse, the advantage was completely apparent, at least now that the offensive of the Northern Yan people was suppressed, and they were getting closer and closer to the edge of the encirclement.
The Northern Yan people used a tripping horse rope on the periphery, and Nalan Jinxiu found it, and pulled the reins violently, and the Lingbao suddenly stood upright, almost throwing the king of Zhenbei off his horse.
"Father, hold me tight!" Nalan Jinxiu said loudly.
At this time, the long sword in Mu Li's hand had already stabbed to death the person who put the horse rope. And the Northern Yan people also got on their horses and began to pursue them.
Lingbao is a mare, which is sensitive in its agility, but it is not suitable for long-term vigorous running, especially when there are two people on the horse's back, which greatly reduces its speed.
King Zhenbei also blew his whistle. Ming Hong has been approaching them, and he and Xu Jince's snow treading should be the fastest war horse in the entire northern frontier. King Zhenbei chose to vault at the moment when Minghong came to his side.
As soon as he went, Lingbao's speed also increased. Nalan Jinxiu looked back at the Beiyan people not far away, they were good at riding and shooting, and they were also chasing after them at this time.
"Father go first, don't wait for us!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a feather arrow hit the king of Zhenbei. This arrow is different from ordinary arrows, with a strip of red cloth tied to its tail, and it is fierce and has a tricky angle.
"Father, let's go!" Nalan Jinxiu blocked in front of King Zhenbei, and the ensuing arrow was swept away by Mu Li's long sword when it was only a foot away from her.
Although the King of Zhenbei was seriously injured, Ming Hong still picked up his speed and left them all behind. The arrows with red ropes on their tails, one after another, slowed down Mu Li's speed.
Nalan Jinxiu knew that she should go first, only if she was not threatened by others, Mu Li could control the enemy wholeheartedly. But with so many people chasing after her, she was worried that something would happen to Mu Li, so she turned around and fought back.
Her control of Butterfly Shadow is already very mellow, although it is not as lethal as Xu Jince's, but her attack power is already very strong.
She aimed at Tuoba Tao and pulled the mechanism on her wrist, because she was running, so her accuracy was a little worse, but it gave him no chance to shoot.
Mu Li didn't expect her to make a move, and he was anxious. The people of Beiyan know about Butterfly Shadow, and now that they have seen it, they will definitely focus on her.
He caught up with her and reached out and tugged at Lingbao's tail. They all know that Lingbao has a problem, that is, it doesn't let people touch its tail. But anyone who touches them will go crazy......
