The crown prince and the nine kings both said yes, only listened, Tuoba looked at the nine kings and said: "Yun'er, I am very pleased with you this time, not only is your health much better, but you have also done a lot of things to do your best to be happy for your father."

The Nine Kings smiled faintly and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Subsequently, Tuoba also said to the crown prince Tuoba Tao: "Tao'er also looks like a big brother this time, you are the prince, I ask more from you than others, you can't be like those noble sons and daughters behind, you have to endure hardships and be more resolute than anyone else, understand?" ”。

Tuoba Tao hurriedly replied: "Yes, father, the child remembers."

The whole team arrived at a place called Dalong Village outside Pingcheng around the evening, and the village chief prepared some food early and brought the people of the village out to welcome him. Emperor Tuoba did not expect the enthusiasm of the people for him, and for a moment he had mixed feelings, took an old man's hand, and asked, "How are you doing?" ”。

The old man smiled heartily: "Life is okay, I can eat enough, I can dress warmly, you see, my son has given birth to several grandchildren." As he spoke, he pulled one of the children over and showed it to Tuoba Hei.

Tuoba smiled happily: "Being well fed and clothed is my greatest wish."

At this time, an old woman came over with a cane and a few hot naan, handed them to Tuoba and the others, and said: "Great nobleman, the life of our people is okay, you can still eat this white naan, that is, don't fight, our babies will go to the battlefield in this war, if the dolls have three long and two short, our life will be difficult."

The crown prince Tuoba Tao said: "Old woman, but how can you live a peaceful life without fighting? If you don't hit others, they will come and beat you."

The old woman shook her head and said, "We can also understand that if someone comes to beat you, if you don't fight back, you will only be beaten, and there will be no such good days." However, if your baby dies on the battlefield, your heart will want to be torn apart, and you will not want to live."

At this time, the village chief hurriedly pulled the old woman away and said, "Don't talk about it,...... Don't be serious with the old woman, her two sons were killed in the war, and the eldest son left a grandson, and the old woman is alone with the child, sometimes it is still very difficult."

Tuoba Tao hurriedly took out a jade pendant from his body, handed it to the old woman, and said: "Old woman, we don't have too many valuable things with us, don't mind, take this to exchange some money and make up for the family." After speaking, he gave it to the old woman, and the old woman hugged Tuoba Tao with tears in her eyes and cried.

Looking at this scene, Xin Xigong sighed: "If there is really no war in the world, it will be a peaceful and prosperous era"

Tuoba also agreed: "Yes, isn't it your and my ambition to open up peace for all generations? But now that they are over half a hundred years old, they still can't fulfill this wish! ”。

Wang Luo'er smiled helplessly: "Your Majesty, do you still remember the scene when we met at Shengle Wine Workshop?" ”。

Tuoba Si nodded and said with a smile: "Of course I remember, at that time you were just a scholar in the restaurant who worked hard and studied hard, I was an unambitious prince, Fanghua was an illegitimate daughter of Yao Xing, by the way, and Uncle Sun Jun was a hunter, Tuoba Mohun was a loser......

Wang Luoer sighed: "Yes, although we had different backgrounds and different encounters at that time, we all had a common desire to open a peaceful and prosperous world, and it was also this wish that changed all our ......."

Tuoba looked into the distance with resoluteness and said, "I believe that for this wish, we must continue to work hard and work together, what do you say?" Little Lhotse".

Wang Luo'er smiled and said: "Your Majesty, you haven't called a minister like this for a long time, and the minister must feel that he is no longer a little Luozi."

At this moment, the crowd heard the sound of horses galloping in the woods, getting closer and closer, closer and closer. After a while, Xin Xigong saw a group of people appear in front of him. The team was dressed in purple clothes with silver filigree embroidery on their chests, with the pattern of night begonias. This is the famous secret guard "Night Begonia" in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and their leader is Xinxigong. Wang Luo'er said with a smile: "Your Majesty, our secret guard has arrived." After speaking, he greeted him first.

There are ten pairs of night begonias, each team of ten people, and the number of night begonia leaves on their chests represents their team number. At this time, Xin Xigong saw that there were one team, three teams, six teams and eight teams of leaves in the night begonias, and he couldn't help frowning, and said secretly: "Why is it so chaotic." When these secret guards approached, Wang Luo'er found that many of them still had scars on their bodies, and she was shocked.

Without waiting for Wang Luo'er to ask, the captain of the first team of Ye Haitang hurriedly dismounted, arched his hand and said, "Master, something happened to Sheng Le."

Tuoba Hei, who caught up at this time, was also surprised in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "What happened to Shengle?" ”

The captain replied: "Shengle was mutinied, and only a few of us were left in Yehaitang who did not mutiny, and the others ......."

Wang Luo'er asked in surprise: "Have the other people rebelled?" How can it be? ”

At this time, another Dark Guard replied: "It's the Ice Spirit Enchanter holding the Dark Guard King Ring, and most of the Night Begonias are ......."

Wang Luo'er's face became very ugly, and she kept saying in her mouth: "How is it possible, how is it possible, Wang Ring has disappeared for hundreds of years, how can it appear again, and the Ice Spirit Enchanter, how is it possible."

Tuoba hurriedly asked, "What Secret Guard King Ring?" What Ice Spirit? What happened to Shengle? ”

The captain of the first team of Night Begonia continued: "Master, not only the Secret Guard King Ring appeared, but even the Red Ying Ring also appeared, and the city was suddenly controlled by the Red British Army with the Golden Mask."

Hearing this, Wang Luoer sat on the ground with her buttocks, not knowing how to imagine this situation. Only Tuoba was shocked and regained his composure. He looked back at the people behind him and said, "Everyone, we may be homeless now, but I want to fight for it and risk my life to move forward. The women stayed where they were, and the men could stay where they were if they were afraid of the dead, and they were willing to follow me back to Shengle and stand beside me."

The crown prince Tuoba Tao and all the guards resolutely sided with the emperor, while the other young noble children were quite hesitant, only to hear the prince Tuoba Tao say loudly: "We are the men of the Northern Wei Dynasty, as nobles, are you not as good as these brave guards?" Isn't it just to show off your skills when you practice riding and archery on weekdays? If you want to strive for riches and glory, isn't now the best time? What are you waiting for? ”。

The words of the crown prince Tuoba Tao were quite powerful, and many noble children also drew their swords one after another, shouting: "Defend Shengle and live up to the Northern Wei Dynasty."

Seeing that more and more noble children joined the battle team, Tuoba Hei burst into tears with excitement and said, "Okay, good, this is our boy in the Northern Wei Dynasty."

Subsequently, Tuoba Hei laid out a plan on how to enter Shengle, and then said to the Nine Kings: "Yun'er, I want you to stay and protect these female dependents, if your father and the crown prince do not come back for three days, you will take these women to flee quickly, go to Huxia, and ask Emperor Helian to protect you, understand?" ”。

The Nine Kings frowned and said, "I also want to participate in the Battle of Shengle, I don't want to stay."

The crown prince Tuoba Tao said: "Ninth brother, although I, the prince, have always competed with you before, I really hope that you can take care of these female dependents, they are the hope of our Northern Wei Dynasty."

Helian Yunxiu also said: "Lord Wang, you better stay, don't make trouble for them."

The Nine Kings turned their heads and glared at her, and scolded softly, "I'm so unsuccessful? ”

Helian Yunxiu smiled and asked rhetorically, "Why can't you protect our women?" Didn't Your Majesty say that protecting us is a difficult task."

Tuoba Si smiled and said solemnly: "That's it, let's set off to Shengle now." After saying that, he stepped on the war horse, requisitioned many horses, and let everyone who went have horses to ride, and then, after three hours, led all the guards and nobles' children to rush towards Shengle.
