Half a year later, Xiangling City, inside the mansion of the fourth prince Tuoba Yu.

Lin Xiao tasted the most precious tea tea in the south of the Hanhai Kingdom, his eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a wisp of essence, it is said that this kind of pre-rain incense is only produced in the deep mountains where wild beasts are rampant in the south of the kingdom, and it is extremely rare, and every year it is necessary to lose a lot of masters and brute beasts to fight to get a little bit, and most of them are paid tribute to the palace.

"Mr. Lin, what do you think of this pre-rain incense?" Tuoba Yu asked with a smile.

"Well, it is elegant and indifferent, like a fragrance after the rain, it is indeed a good tea. Lin Xiao said with a smile, although this pre-rain incense is not as rich and ethereal as the superb tea cultivated by Ling'er's grandfather, it is not bad, "I just don't know where these four princes got it from, and it must have taken a lot of effort." ”

"Since Sir likes it, I'll have someone send you some tomorrow. Tuoba Yu changed his words and said: "Speaking of which, if it weren't for the heart of the three royal brothers, I wouldn't have been blessed with this pre-rain incense." ”

"Oh?"

"Originally, this rain incense was a tribute to the palace, and we princes couldn't get half of it, but the third royal brother had a big trouble with the eldest prince brother recently, and the situation seemed to be a little tense, so Baba deducted some of the tribute and sent it to me. Tuoba Yu rolled his eyes and said, "Oh, there are some coral pearls, although they are not precious but they are still beautiful, I think Miss Ling'er and Miss Li must like them, and let people send them to Mr. tomorrow." ”

Tuoba Yu's attitude naturally will not just be attentive and give Lin Xiao good things.

Lin Xiao knew in his heart, looked at Tuoba Yu and laughed: "What kind of detour is the fourth prince going around with me, let's just say it, what does the third prince say?"

Tuoba Yu slapped his face and said with a smile: "My brothers are not fuel-efficient lamps, eighty percent know about my private soldiers, but they don't dare to let me send troops directly, after all, the old man above has not swallowed his breath, and he is afraid that my mercenaries will be self-respecting, and they will stab them behind their backs." ”

"This time, the old man sent these things, and promised to give me the two cities, in order for me to unite with him and suppress the eldest brother together. Speaking of this, Tuoba Yu suddenly sneered, "Actually, in the end, none of us believe in anyone, the so-called alliance is just a show, is he really relieved that I will take the army to the north?"

"Hehe, I'm not interested in your royal battles. Lin Xiao took a sip of the rain incense and said, "But even if it's just for show, it's hard to guarantee that the eldest prince won't be too careful, and when the time comes, we will be in the cracks, I'm afraid it's not a good thing." ”

"Well, I also thought of this, so I asked my husband to discuss. ”

"What do you want me to discuss? I'm not interested in this kind of political intrigue and step-by-step thing, so the fourth prince might as well ask his staff, isn't this what they do? Lin Xiao said with a smile.

"This" Tuoba Yu's face was slightly red, "Those guys have a hand in calculating, but most of them lack a sense of the overall situation, acting as a dog-headed military advisor, it's okay to come up with ideas, but none of them can really strategize." ”

Speaking of this, he paused, looked at Lin Xiao's face, and said: "Moreover, if I mobilize troops and horses and make an appearance of standing on the side of the third child, then the eldest and second child will definitely have some ideas, and no matter how bad it is, they will also find me some trouble in the future." But the strategic location of the two cities that the third child promised to give us is very important, this is a rare good opportunity, as long as we get those two cities in our hands, we will have a better chance of winning when we start an army. ”

"You mean to let me help the third prince?" Lin Xiao's heart moved.

Tuoba Yu nodded and said, "I can't move the army here, but I can't miss those two cities, I think about it, and I can only ask Mr. to go out." ”

Lin Xiao frowned slightly, it was not a big deal to help the third prince, but the hundred militarized cultivators of the Heavenly Expeditionary Army were still waiting for him to teach, and he was also busy cultivating, and it would be a few months or half a year to go out, which was really delaying.

But thinking about Tuoba Yu, he is quite benevolent to himself, and the two are originally helping each other, so it is not easy to refuse, so they can only nod and agree.

"Thank you, sir. Tuoba Yu was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Tomorrow I will send someone to Mr.'s house to tell Mr. about the situation on the third child's side, and by the way, I will pick up some tributes and send them over." ”

At noon the next day, the silver armor beside Tuoba Yu sent several carts of pearl jade and tea elixir to Lin Xiao's mansion, and at the same time sent a secret letter, which recorded in detail the situation of the three princes and what happened this time.

Sitting in the courtyard, Lin Xiao pinched the secret letter in his hand and laughed with interest, and said to himself: "There are actually other cultivators involved in it, the peak realm of Jindan, well, it is just right for me to sharpen my edge, and maybe I can step into the late stage of Jindan in one fell swoop." ”

Lin Xiao flicked his wrist, and a wisp of flame suddenly rose, turning the secret letter into ashes.

The third prince Tuoba Lin is located in the north of the Hanhai Kingdom, and there are 100,000 private soldiers on the surface, but in fact, he also privately raised 700,000 elite soldiers, a total of 800,000 soldiers and horses, and has a huge power in the north, called the king of Zhenbei.

The king of Hanhai, Tuoba Yuanshan, had a total of four sons and one daughter, among which the daughter Tuoba Rui was the youngest, now only fifteen years old, and was deeply favored by Tuoba Yuanshan, so he was not divided into four directions like his four elder brothers, and still stayed in the palace to be her proud and noble princess.

The four princes were divided into four directions, the eldest prince Tuoba Hao was in the east, called the king of Zhendong, the second prince Tuoba Man was in the west, called the king of Zhenxi, the third prince Tuoba Lin and the fourth prince Tuoba Yu occupied the north and south respectively, the four princes secretly raised private soldiers, supported the army and stood on their own, everyone coveted the throne of the king of Hanhai, and the two sides fought constantly.

That is, some time ago, the private soldiers raised by the third prince Tuoba Lin clashed with the men of the eldest prince Tuoba Hao at the junction of the northeast, and the small battle at the beginning has developed to tens of thousands of people, and in the end it is extremely tragic, and neither side has been able to please him, and the losses are huge.

His private soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and neither Tuoba Lin nor Tuoba Hao could stop there.

After the careful planning of his staff and the personal authorization of the two princes, a battle between you and me began.

At the beginning, the two sides still had each other's victories and defeats, forming a stalemate, but it didn't take long for the eldest prince Tuoba Hao's side to suddenly appear as a cultivator, and the cultivation was extremely strong, so that the third prince's side suffered a big loss, and one after another masters were killed, the soldiers' morale was low, and the situation was about to collapse.

Of course, the four princes have their own means, and the third prince Tuoba Lin also supports cultivators, but his strength is only in the middle of Jindan, and he is not much worse than the peak of Jindan on the other side, and he almost lost his life after a fight.

Since then, the third prince has been completely suppressed, and the eldest prince relied on the power of the cultivator to be extremely wanton, winning many battles, and finally almost forcing the third prince to flee. If it weren't for that, he wouldn't have pulled down his face and asked Tuoba Yu for help.

Silently recalling these things in his mind, Lin Xiao's figure flashed, and the next moment he had disappeared into Xiangling City, crossing the void, and stepping out was dozens of miles away

In a city in the north of the Hanhai Kingdom, a group of soldiers with distinct armor and solemn expressions spooked, and a faint murderous aura overflowed from them, startling the surrounding pedestrians to retreat one after another.

In the north palace of the central town of the city, the third prince Tuoba Lin was drinking wildly with a wine jug in one hand, and rubbing wantonly on a charming woman with an upper body chiluo with the other hand.

"Tuoba Hao, if you don't have a master of cultivation in your hands, I will definitely kill you, throw away your armor, hum" Tuoba Lin snorted angrily, the more he thought about it, the more he felt aggrieved, and threw the wine jug with a "bang", and hugged the charming woman to vent.

Tuoba Lin finally found a cultivator at the beginning, and wasted countless money and painstaking efforts to envelop the cultivator in the middle of the golden pill, but now, he was defeated by someone else.

Humiliation, this is the humiliation of Chiluoluo!

Thinking of this, Tuoba Lin was even more angry in his heart, and began to roll frantically on the woman, suddenly, his body stiffened, jumped up from the woman's body with a bang, quickly pulled out the long sword, and pointed diagonally behind him.

"Who are you?" Tuoba Lin Jiu also woke up, looking at the man who appeared quietly behind him in front of him, his vest was full of cold sweat.

There were people who silently came behind him without knowing that none of the guards arranged outside and the masters hidden in the shadows appeared, such a situation made Tuoba Lin feel furious, "What if the other party has the intention to kill himself?"

Lin Xiao stood in front of Tuoba Lin, glanced at the woman who was full of horror and shrunk at the head of the bed, and frowned slightly: "Are you Tuoba Lin?" He didn't have much affection for this kind of YL merry palace nobles, and looked at Tuoba Lin coldly, even saving the three words 'third prince'.

"I am, you were sent by Tuoba Hao?" Tuoba Lin's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and the long sword in his hand trembled slightly, "Being able to ignore the many masters under me and easily enter the palace, if I guess correctly, you should be a cultivator." ”

"I'm a cultivator, but I wasn't sent by Tuobahao. Lin Xiao flicked his fingertips, and a streamer burst out, and the Xuantie long sword in Tuoba Lin's hand was broken with a jingle bell, and said, "I'm from the south, Zhennan Wangfu." ”

Tuoba Lin breathed a sigh of relief and laughed excitedly: "You were sent by the third child? It's really good, now I see that he Tuoba Hao can still show off his might." ”

Thinking of the happy place, Tuoba Lin couldn't help but dance, until he noticed Lin Xiao's displeased gaze, he stopped, bowed slightly, and said, "May I ask Mr. for his name." ”

"Lin Xiao. Lin Xiao replied lightly, then turned around and left, "Let's get dressed first, besides, I wasn't sent by Tuoba Yu, he doesn't have the power to dominate me, and you don't." ”

Watching Lin Xiao grandly push open the door and walk out, Tuoba Lin's face was slightly pale, and then he remembered that the other party was a cultivator, high up, disrespecting heaven and earth, and not afraid of ghosts and gods, how could he be at his disposal?

"Most cultivators are arrogant, well, you have to lower your body in the future. After all, Tuoba Lin was born into the royal family, and soon calmed down, indifferently waved away the charming woman, and dressed himself.
