Winters in Pingcheng are colder than in Luoyang.

There are no red lanterns and silks, no flowers growing in greenhouses, only the howling north wind and snow, which is so desolate and cold that it seems to extinguish all the enthusiasm in people's hearts.

More than a dozen riders ran wildly on the snowy streets.

"Master, it's not good!" Dugu Lie took the lead, and when he saw the shallow horseshoe prints in front of him that had not yet had time to be covered by the wind and snow, he shouted in a low voice, abandoned his horse and went to the eaves.

The three or four riders behind him jumped up at the same time, and they all rushed up to the courtyard wall with their blades, and when they saw the situation in the small courtyard, they were all stunned.

Dugu Lie took the lead in returning to his horse and greeted a man in a fancy suit who was galloped by six or seven horsemen.

"The Third Prince—" he raised his hand to his neck and made a one-size-fits-all motion, and said in a low voice, "all dead." ”

The man is sturdy, with short and heavy eyebrows, and he is the third son of the Northern Emperor Tuoba Yan, Tuoba Qi.

Hearing this, the young prince breathed a sigh of relief, but he felt more incredible, looking at the gray wall under the wind and snow.

"Wait for me here." He decided not to bring troops into the hospital.

Dismounted alone, stepped on knee-deep snow and walked to the gate of the small courtyard.

There was no copper ring on the door, and a crack opened up with a gentle push of his hand, but it was not closed.

Tuoba Qi walked in through the hidden door.

Heavy snow and winter months, the cold froze the bloody gas in the courtyard. It was only when I walked to the center of the pile of corpses that I could faintly smell a faint breath of death.

The knife technique is very neat, cutting the throat through the chest, and there is no excess blood.

The scene was also so clean that it didn't look like a massacre, like a group of drunks who came here and happened to be sleepy, and fell asleep on the spot.

Tuoba Qi was really shocked in his heart, and he stumbled over something under his feet, but if he looked closely, he was a half-cut snowman.

The snow was so intense that the snowman was covered with only a thin layer of floating snow.

Guess the owner was building a snowman before the killer arrived. The murder defeated the interest, and let it stand here alone and mutilated.

Thousands of miles of yellow clouds and daylight.

The room was dimly lit, and on the side of the door sat a tall man who was wiping a knife.

There was no bloodstained knife, and he rubbed it very carefully and carefully, as if there was only one thing left in the world to do.

The back of the cold wide knife flashed between the man's high forehead and cheekbones, and his face was as white as jade but full of masculinity.

- This is indeed a face that can turn the women of the world upside down.

"This king has just learned the news and hurried here." Tuoba Qi said, with a ruthless voice in his words, "Tuoba Fu is too vicious, this king must have avenged this revenge with his son." ”

After Jin Yanchen appeared openly in Yunyan for the last time, he was nowhere to be found for a year, and when he found him, his popularity was very different, and he no longer regarded himself as the sixth son of the Jin family.

People who come and go with him call him "Childe".

At the beginning, Tuoba Fu was still the same as before, bent on competing with him, seducing him with gold and silver beauties, trying to bring Jin Yanchen under his command.

Later, with the help of Jin Yanchen, he worked steadily and steadily, from Tuoba Yan's unfavored son to being valued step by step, and becoming a hot prince, Tuoba Fu finally became murderous.

There are not once or two assassinations like this today.

It's just that this time the men and horses dispatched are more elite, and one of them is said to have been to Jiankang last year and fought with Mu Cangping.

It was because he was so nervous, and he personally led the master of Hefu and hurried over.

Obviously, Jin Yanchen's knife technique has improved again.

Tuoba Qi even suspected that every time he came to Pingcheng, he deliberately showed his traces in order to test the sword with the martial arts masters under Tuoba Fu.

After beheading these people, Tuoba Fu has a lot of inconvenience in acting in Beijing, and he is happy to see it, but decent words always have to be said, and he also values Jin Yanchen's safety.

"This place is not clean, and although those pigs, dogs, eagles and dogs can't help their sons, they are always annoying to disturb them. This palace has prepared a good guest room for the prince......"

"The three princes have a heart." Jin Yanchen stopped, put the knife back into the sheath, and said, "I'll leave today." ”

"Leave so soon," Tuoba Qi was a little disappointed, "why don't you stay a few more days?" The king is still looking forward to drinking and chatting with his son for three days and three nights. "Love the Book House

He still has a lot of things to ask Jin Yanchen.

The wisdom of the Han people is indeed good, and his father Tuoba Yan has admired the Central Plains culture for a long time.

At first, he only thought that Jin Yanchen was a charlatan, and he was interested in soliciting, but he just loved his bravery.

But he doesn't want this person to fight against the army, and he is also proficient in court affairs.

The northerners are not good at power, and the suggestions that Jin Yanchen made to him were mostly puzzled by his staff at first, but later proved to be correct.

For more than a year, he occasionally came to Pingcheng to live, and he was extraordinary as soon as he made a move. Tuoba Qi wanted to keep people many times, but Jin Yanchen didn't seem to have much interest in being his advisor.

I don't know what I'm interested in.

Tuoba Qi decided not to rashly open the price code before thoroughly figuring out Jin Yanchen's intentions.

"The envoy of the Southern Dynasty will soon be on the road, and he wants to mention the old things of the past. I opened the first half of the game for the three princes, and how to go in the second half of the game depends on the three princes themselves. ”

Jin Yanchen sat on his knees and did not sit straight, probably because of his height, he had a feeling of majesty. The silhouette silhouette is very trim.

Tuoba Qi only reacted for a moment, and immediately said, "Princess Xianfu? ”

Princess Xianfu is not a true princess of the royal family, but the daughter of the Jiankang Rong clan, and it is said that she was famous for her extraordinary beauty and talent.

The former prince Tuoba Kui is good at writing and ink, and he once saw a poem brought back by the envoy from Jiankang at the flower banquet of the Rong family.

Later, with great difficulty, I got this female portrait, and I was shocked at first sight, and I was unforgettable from then on.

At that time, the two countries had been reconciled, the northern country had an earnest attitude, and the southern dynasties were not easy to refuse, and there was a rift between the two countries. Therefore, the princess of the Rong family was given the title and sent to the north to marry the crown prince Tuoba Kui.

Not wanting to send the wedding procession was still on the way, Tuoba Kui was assassinated and killed.

The marriage alliance between the two countries has been decided, but it is true that the marriage has not yet been consummated, so it seems that it is not very appropriate to say it.

- Whether it is an ordinary woman, the two emperors don't care if there is an extra widowed woman in Pingcheng.

At that time, the Rong family was full of flowers, the Son of Heaven relied on it, and the people loved it. Rong Yi retreated from the Northern Army at the border pass, and it was only a few years since he became a nightmare in the hearts of the soldiers and civilians of the Northern Kingdom.

The Rong family's willingness to send their daughter and relatives has already made concessions for the overall situation, and they will never be wronged again.

Tuoba Yan said that she could first usher the princess to Pingcheng, live in the palace, and be raised with the specifications of the crown princess.

No matter who becomes the crown prince in the future, the daughter of the Rong family is the crown princess of the northern kingdom.

At that time, it seemed that the Northern Emperor Tuoba Yan, who had just experienced the pain of losing his son, had already been benevolent and righteous.

But surprisingly, the Rong family refused. Rong Yi, who is accustomed to spring breeze and rain methods, acts mildly, but rarely shows a tough side.

At his insistence, the Rong girl was finally welcomed back to Jiankang.

However, the national book is still there.

The position of the crown prince of the northern kingdom has been vacant for many years, and the daughter of the Rong family has never been married.

This incident is gradually forgotten by many people.

But there are always people who remember, such as Tuoba Qi, who has always been thinking about that throne.

Although he didn't know what means Jin Yanchen used to pry Fang Rong's rock-like boulder, Tuoba Qi could vaguely guess something.

Recently, the northwestern border of the Southern Dynasties has been frequently disturbed, and several small battles have been fought, each with its own victory or defeat.

At this time, Tuoba Yan took heavy troops to patrol the wilderness at the junction of the two countries, which was quite deterrent.

Maybe he himself has this will, or maybe it is the great eunuch of Zong Qi who has already been bought by Jin Yanchen beside him.

However, there is no doubt that the combination of these two events caused uneasiness to some of the timid and fearful lords and parties of the Southern Dynasties.

Jin Yanchen must also have helpers in the south, such as Ning Xiangye, who has been fighting against Fang Rong for a long time.

- The relatives of important ministers and foreign clans, although they are noble princesses, this identity is embarrassing after all. It doesn't matter if the years are peaceful, but once the war between the two countries starts, this is not a good thing.

Being able to do such a big thing quietly, it can be seen that no matter how much he feels that he attaches enough importance to this Golden Gate, he still underestimates Jin Yanchen's strength.
