Seven years ago, the previous king of Ding'an died on the battlefield, which greatly reduced morale and demoralized the army. And Donglinguo took advantage of this opportunity to take three cities in a month, pointing directly at Yongzhou, and on the other side, Beirong was eyeing the tiger, and the intention of taking advantage of the fire to rob was obvious, which made Jiuxuan Kingdom fall into an unprecedented crisis.

Therefore, when he had just reached the year of the weak crown, he inherited the prince's night and nine nights, and he didn't even have time to guard the spirit of his father, so he rushed to the battlefield with hundreds of thousands of Ding'an troops.

Ye Jiuxiao and Ye Jiuchen's mother concubine, Princess Ding'an went when Ye Jiuchen was two years old, so Ye Jiuchen, who was only eight years old at the time, was alone guarding the huge Ding'an Palace.

Fortunately, the previous King Ding'an had always been strict with Ye Jiuxiao's teaching, and he threw him on the battlefield at the age of twelve, and he has never relaxed his teaching and training in recent years.

Although Ye Jiuxiao was ordered to be in danger, he also resisted the burden of guarding the frontier, and it only took less than a month to take back all the five cities that were lost before.

All of a sudden, both inside and outside the government and the opposition, as well as the common people, all praised Ye Jiuxiao, the new king of Ding'an, and praised his youth out of the blue and better than the blue, and his demeanor was still flourishing in the previous generation of Ding'an King.

You must know that this is a three-year battle, and the only time there is good news, the emperor is happy, and with a wave of his hand, he specially sent the prince of the dynasty to reward the three armies.

On the surface, it was to reward the three armies, but in fact, he wanted this prince to stabilize the morale of the army, so as a vassal king sitting on the sixteen cities of Yongzhou, Ye Jiuxiao was going to meet him.

Although the crown prince does not go to the battlefield, he has been taught by Murong Xuyao, the first god of war in the Jiuxuan Kingdom, since he was a child, and he can naturally see from every war report sent to the capital that the situation on the border is far less optimistic than those who have never been on the battlefield in the court think.

Therefore, he didn't put on any prince's shelf, didn't he come to reward the three armies.

So, when the local Taishou proposed to hold a grand reception banquet for him, he was rejected by him in person, and even directly cut the person's official.

When the era was peaceful and prosperous, he couldn't care about luxury, but now that the border has been fighting for many years, even the palace needs to open up sources and reduce expenditure. Not to mention that the closer to the border, the more difficult the people become, as the prince of the country and the future emperor, he naturally has to play an exemplary role.

Other people who don't have crooked thoughts are naturally happy to see that they have such a prince who worries about the country and the people. But if he is the prince of a country, even if he doesn't hold a banquet, these local officials will be seen according to the rules.

Therefore, in the end, only a few tables of food were set up, and even the wine was not served, and the prince had a meal with these ministers, and after a general understanding of the situation at this pass, he let them go back.

Now that King Ding'an is the commander of the border army, he naturally wants to hurry back to the border camp, and before the sun sets, he set off with more than a dozen personal guards. And in order to be fast, they did not take the official road, but copied the shortcut of the mountain path.

The sky was getting dark, the wind was blowing, and when I looked up, there was not a single star, let alone the moon.

"Lord Wang, I'm afraid that a storm is coming, let's find a place to hide as soon as possible. His bodyguard, Guard, said in a loud voice.

Ye Jiuxiao frowned, but he also knew in his heart that it was dangerous to walk on mountain roads at night, let alone rainy weather.

"Walk a little longer and see if there's a place to stay in a cave or something. Ye Jiuxiao said in a deep voice.

"Yes. Wei Feng responded.

The guards slowed down their horses, trying to find a suitable place to stay before the storm approached.

"Lord Wang, what do you think of there?" Wei Feng asked as he grabbed the reins, reined in his horse, and pointed to a dark place.

Ye Jiuxiao shook his head, and just wanted to open his mouth to order someone to take a look, when he suddenly felt a tingling pain in his heart, his eyes were dark, and he lost consciousness.

"Lord Wang!" Wei Feng said hurriedly, carrying light skills, and dodged to catch him before Ye Jiuxiao landed.

After taking a closer look, he found that the prince not only had his eyes closed tightly and his teeth "gurgling", but also his big hands were clutching his chest, and his face was full of pain.

In a moment, a cold sweat broke out.

The two guards who knew how to heal hurriedly dismounted to check, and the other guards immediately pulled out their knives and protected the prince in the innermost, looking around vigilantly.

"How is the prince?" Wei Feng asked anxiously, he was fine just now, how could he suddenly fall off the horse, could it be that the food he ate before was poisonous?

The two guards looked at each other after checking the pulse, they had never seen such a strange pulse.

"What the hell, you say!" Wei Feng yelled anxiously.

"Stop yelling at them, they can't cure them. An old voice sounded, as if echoing in everyone's ears.

"Who! come out!" Wei Feng said coldly.

"No need to shout, the old man will naturally come out. ”

But it was too dark, and Rao was a specially trained guard who could only see a white blurred outline, and seemed to be carrying a huge burden on his hand.

"Who are you?" did you do it when our prince suddenly fell to the ground?" Wei Feng squinted his eyes and said, his eyesight was different from ordinary people, and he could naturally see clearly that there was an old man with gray hair in front of him.

The most important thing is that he is carrying a person in his hand, which is inexplicably weird.

Mo Li didn't pay attention to him, but looked at the sky, this storm was coming.

"I said, are you sure you want to say it here? It's going to rain soon, old man, I don't want to be watered. ”

With that, Mo Li walked towards the cave that Wei Feng pointed out before.

"If you rub it off any longer, don't regret your prince's death!"

"Lord Wei, are we going to follow?" asked the guard next to him cautiously.

Wei Feng gritted his teeth, "Go." ”

He had no choice at all, but he didn't believe that this old man, who didn't seem to have any martial arts at all, could do anything with so many of them.

When Wei Feng and the others carried Ye Jiuxiao into the cave, they unexpectedly found that the cave was really big, more than enough to accommodate more than a dozen of them, and the old man who came in earlier had already lit a fire in the innermost, and there was already some warmth in the cave.

And the person who was just carried by Mo Li in his hand was casually thrown aside, Wei Feng lowered his eyes, maybe this old man was not an enemy.

"Dare to ask seniors, this person is ......" Wei Feng asked tentatively with his fists clenched.

Mo Li took out his wine jug and shook it, there was not much stock.

"Senior ......"

Mo Li raised his eyelids, "This is the person who just attacked your prince, I can save your prince, but he must come up with a reward that satisfies me." ”

"Can you save?" It's not that Wei Feng judges people by their appearance, it's just that this person looks like he is alone except for the wine jug, what can he save?
