In 538 years of the Great Wilderness, a shocking case occurred in the southern overlord of Southern Chu, the monarch Gao Qiang and the prince Gao Lixi died violently, it is rumored that the third prince Gao Fei was self-assured of his talents, and wanted to usurp the throne and poison his father and brother, and fled after the conspiracy was revealed.

However, there is also another saying among the people, because the third prince who intends to rebel is a rare young genius in the Southern Chu Kingdom in a hundred years, and he is extremely famous, even if there is a prince above, but this third prince is still the most powerful contender for the future heir to the throne, and there is no reason to do such a rebellious thing as killing his brother and killing his father.

When a person is good enough to become a model in the minds of the people, people often imagine him to be more perfect: the first day of the royal city, the tone of the law, Xiao Shishu, at the age of fifteen, read the first three pavilions of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion 800 volumes of ancient books, the annotated military book more than 30 volumes, poems and texts spread in the world, up to the Tai Academy, down to the folk song music workshop, are all amazed and praised, and not only literary talent is unparalleled, martial arts are also very good, at the age of seventeen he followed his father Gao Qiang to fight in the south and the north, overthrew the tyrannical monarch Xiong Yu at the time, at the age of twenty, he defeated the first master of the inner army Yin Donglie, shocked the whole country, almost everyone who practiced martial arts in Diyun City remembered his name, and now Gao Fei has been recognized as the highest person in the martial arts of the young generation in the Southern Chu Kingdom。

People don't want to believe that such a proud son of heaven would do such a thing, in comparison, Zhu Ning, the national teacher who acts as the government of the government, is more like the mastermind behind everything.

As a result, in the streets and alleys of the national capital Emperor Yuncheng, another statement that is completely contrary to the official version has spread: since the national teacher Zhu Ning followed the former king Gao Qiang to overthrow the Xiong clan and assisted Gao Qiang to replace him as the monarch of Southern Chu, he has always had a ghost in his heart and was unwilling to be subservient, so he designed to kill the monarch and the crown prince, and blamed the third prince Gao Fei, who was the most threatening, and then recalled the fourth prince Gao Yuan, who had been sent to the border since he was a child and far away from the center of the country, to become the new king.

And as soon as Gao Fei dies, the fourth prince will become an isolated and unthreatening puppet, and it won't be long before Zhu Ning will replace him, thus realizing his ambition to usurp the throne.

So the young girls in the market began to worry about the safety of this young genius, and the young men with strong blood were also indignant about this matter, and even the uncles and aunts on the streets couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh......

As the third prince Gao Fei, who was the party concerned, was wearing a dark gray cloak at the moment, he was lying on the roof of a restaurant at the gate of the south of the city, quietly watching the guards patrolling back and forth around the city wall.

At this moment, Gao Fei has mixed feelings in his heart, especially the grief and hatred of losing his parents and brother, like poison ivy growing and entwined in his heart, but now he has lost the opportunity to be preempted by the other party, the second sister is under house arrest, the fourth brother is likely to be used without knowing the truth, and he is also wanted by the whole country.

"Luckily, I still have some friends. ”

Gao Fei quietly looked at an inconspicuous dark post on the city tower, there was a faint figure shaking inside, it was the spy sent by the Zhu family to monitor the city gate, he looked up at the sky again, the moon was just covered by dark clouds at this time.

Suddenly, there were several sounds of breaking the air, and a guard on the city wall fell to the ground with a muffled snort, and a masked man in a night suit threw out a hook lock from under the city wall to hang on the city wall, and flew up the city wall as light as a swallow, as if he was going to force his way out of the city defense by himself, but the soldiers of the city defense quickly reacted and gathered from all sides.

Seven crossbowmen fired arrows at the Assassin from different directions, but the Assassin was so small and fast that he easily dodged the arrows fired at close range, and the Assassin had just climbed the city wall, and a dozen spears pierced him, and although he was narrowly avoided, the guards quickly surrounded him, and the Assassin entangled with him for a while, and finally he was outnumbered, and finally hung a large branch in the city with a hook lock, climbed down the wall, and escaped in the twilight.

"No need to chase," guard captain Ling Xuan waved his hand to stop the guards who were about to pursue, "It's running into the city, our task is not to let people out of the city." ”

He glanced in the direction of the secret sentinel again, where there was a spy sent by the palace to monitor, he glanced at a guard beside him in the direction of the dark post, and said softly: "Please monitor the secret agent to report what happened to the palace just now." ”

At this time, the assassin who raided the city defense unknowingly climbed onto the roof of the restaurant.

Gao Fei looked back at the other party's figure, with a somewhat complicated expression on his face: "You're still here." ”

The assassin tore off the mask on his face, revealing a delicate face, and his voice sounded as quiet as the cold moon on the horizon: "It's not difficult anyway, I'll do it myself, it's more assured." ”

Gao Fei looked back at the other party's thin and expressionless face, and couldn't help but show a little pity in his eyes, but he didn't speak.

Although he is a king, he usually deals with market rangers, Lin Yuebai, the master of Mingfeng Hall, the largest gang in the south, once intersected with him, Lin Yuebai did not know Gao Fei's royal identity at that time, but only felt that this young man was talented in martial arts, and his temperament was free and easy, and he had a good conversation, so he became a New Year's friend with him.

And Gao Fei himself also met Lin Qianyuan, the only daughter of the Lin Hall Master, in the Demon Forest because of an accident. Because of that chance encounter, Miss Lin admired Gao Fei's talent and generosity, and secretly promised him, but later learned that Gao Fei was the third prince who moved the world, and thought that it was difficult for him to enter the temple deep in the mountains and rivers, so she was lonely and gloomy, and her attitude towards Gao Fei was deliberately cold.

Although Gao Fei himself has a good impression of Miss Lin, he is also aware of the difference in the identities of the two parties, and since the other party is deliberately estranged, he has no choice but to hide this feeling in his heart.

However, this time the incident happened suddenly, Gao Fei had to turn to Mingfeng Hall for help in order to escape from Diyun City, he originally didn't want to involve Lin Qianyuan, so he only went to find Lin Yuebai, but he didn't expect Lin Qianyuan to hear the news from somewhere, and insisted on helping himself, no matter how much the Lin Hall Master persuaded him, he couldn't stop it, so he had to arrange the safest task for her.

After being silent for a while, Gao Fei said slowly: "Go back, if you don't go back, your father should be worried." ”

Lin Qianyuan didn't listen to him, but walked up to Gao Fei's side, sat down, and asked, "What are you going to do next?"

Seeing that Gao Fei didn't answer, a ray of worry began to appear in her originally cold eyebrows, "As soon as I break through like this, I will immediately send more people, and the city defense will definitely be more solid." ”

Gao Fei smiled comfortingly, "Don't worry, I have a way, originally I just asked you to go to the grass and scare the snake, and branch the secret sentinel in the palace to report the news to the palace." You go back first, and I'll leave it to you. ”

"You deliberately let the dark sentinel go to the palace to report the news, aren't you afraid that they will send more people to keep an eye on here?" Lin Qianyuan said in surprise.

Gao Fei smiled slightly, "On the contrary, I think they will send more people to the north of the city to keep an eye on it." ”

Lin Qianyuan didn't understand it even more, but she knew that the person in front of her must be more resourceful than her, so she didn't plan to dwell on this issue anymore.

For some reason, when she saw Gao Fei this time, she suddenly felt a strange strangeness to the man in front of her who she had been thinking about for a long time.

In those deliberately avoided days, although there were fewer meetings with him in reality, I often recalled the time we had spent together in my mind, and the high flying in those pictures had both the chic and heroic of the chivalrous men of the rivers and lakes, and the debauchery of a gentleman, the corners of his mouth were always filled with a confident smile, and it seemed that there was no difficulty in the world to hold him.

She had imagined the scene of the two meeting again countless times, but she never expected to meet again in such a way, although his smile was still warm now, but it also revealed a trace of imperceptible bitterness.

Lin Qianyuan believes that he still has a way to break through the siege and get out of the city, but after leaving the city, from a prince to a public enemy of the world, from a father and son to a broken family, even if he is famous in the world, after all, he is only a young man in his early twenties, how can he bear such a heavy national hatred?

Thinking of this, Lin Qianyuan's resentment and misery for many days disappeared along with the coldness on his face, and he actually left behind the reserve of his daughter's family on weekdays, hugged Gao Fei from behind, and said softly: "You must come back alive." ”

Gao Fei's body trembled slightly, it was the throbbing of the nerves that had been tense for days suddenly stimulated and soothed, and he looked back at the woman's clear eyes, nodding slightly.

Suddenly, the light in his eyes flickered, and when he turned around, he finally saw that the faint figure at the dark outpost of the city tower had disappeared, and Ling Xuan, the captain of the city guard, walked to the city wall near the restaurant at some point, and slapped the city railing boredly, although the sound was not loud, it was extremely clear in Gao Fei's ears.

At the same time, on the other side of Diyun City, a group of about eleven or twelve people were gathering at a restaurant near the city gate to drink and eat meat.

They each occupy a favorable terrain, forming a formation that echoes each other and covers each other, and the place occupied by these people is either a weak place in the city's defenses, or a blind spot that is not easy to detect.

But all their actions are under the close monitoring of the spies arranged by the Zhu family, these spies are all weathered veterans, and it can be seen that this group of people are all top masters with superior strength, and it seems that they are likely to ambush here to help Gao Fei escape from the national capital.

In the palace, Zhu Lan had just received information from the secret agents in the south of the city, and his face was slightly solemn.

"What's wrong?, is there any news?" asked his eldest brother, Zhu Long, on the side.

"Someone in the south of the city tried to force their way through the border and fled. ”

"Could it be Goofy?" Zhu Long wondered, "Is he planning to escape from the south of the city?"

"No, no,......" Zhu Lan shook his head, "Father said that with Gao Fei's current situation, it is most likely that he will go to the north to win over the Yan family, and he will definitely leave from the north gate." ”

Zhu Long's eyes lit up, "In this way, someone at the south gate forcibly broke through, it must be a trick he deliberately arranged to divert our attention!"

"It's a good move, it's worthy of being the first day of my Southern Chu. Zhu Lan sighed, "If my father hadn't expected it, we might have really been deceived by him." ”

At this moment, the spy from the north of the city also returned, and the spy whispered a few words in Zhu Lan's ear, and Zhu Lan's face suddenly changed greatly, "What are you talking about?"

Of course he knew what kind of people were in Mingfengtang, that was the largest gang in the entire southern part of the Great Wilderness, judging from the information reported by the secret agents, the aura of the more than ten people was strong, and their cultivation was unfathomable, and almost all of them were people at the level of Mingfengtang's helmsman.

With so many extremely strong people gathered in the north of the city, if they attacked at night, plus Gao Fei himself was known as the strongest of the younger generation in Southern Chu, with the existing city defense troops, even if they added the forbidden army, they would not be able to stop so many masters from attacking at the same time.

Zhu Lan's forehead began to ooze sweat, "Sure enough, sure enough, he wanted to go from the north of the city, and he actually invited so many masters...... However, how could this Gao Fei be involved with the Mingfeng Hall on the rivers and lakes?"

He didn't have time to think, and hurriedly instructed the secret agent: "You go and ask my father, after raising those people for so many years, it should come in handy." ”

The spy hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Is Childe talking about those people outside the mansion?"

Zhu Lan gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "You know who I'm talking about, I haven't directly mobilized their rights yet, but this matter is not trivial and can't be delayed, so you should immediately ask my father to transfer them to the north of the city as soon as possible!"

Soon, people began to gather towards the city gate from all directions near the north of the city, these people were dressed in the clothes of ordinary people, but they had ghostly bodies and solemn faces, which were killers and dead soldiers that Zhu Ning had secretly raised for many years.

In addition to the guards on duty on the tall city wall, in the shadows of countless dead corners of the city wall and stone pillars, the yellow-robed forbidden army wearing strong armor and holding spears and broadswords also waited for the opportunity to move, just waiting for Gao Fei to leave the city at night and throw himself into the net.

And those knights in the Mingfeng Hall in the north of the city didn't seem to know that their tracks were completely exposed to Zhu Lan's surveillance, they stayed in their respective positions as if nothing happened, but their own strong aura spread wantonly, bringing a trace of invisible coercion to the guards, forbidden soldiers and killers near the city gate.

These knights seemed to be waiting for something, and the two sides seemed to have formed a wonderful tacit understanding, and the two sides were deadlocked, silent, like the calm before a storm.

And the person they were all waiting for was far away on the other side of the capital at the moment.

Gao Fei stood up, took off the cloak on his body, and draped it on Lin Qianyuan's body, "It's cold at night, go back." ”

Lin Qianyuan realized that what he was wearing under Gao Fei's cloak turned out to be the clothes of the city gate guards!

Without waiting for her to react, Gao Fei stepped forward to hold her shoulder, his eyes affectionate and determined, and he said word by word: "I will be back." After speaking, without waiting for her to answer, he jumped off the restaurant and walked towards the city tower with a swagger.

And Ling Xuan, who was patting the railing on the city tower, also seemed to be a little tired, he rubbed his hands, turned around and walked down the city tower as if nothing happened.

Seeing this, Lin Qianyuan finally understood, and the worry in her heart finally disappeared.

The evening breeze was light, bringing the fragrance of the grass and soil outside the city, and also bringing a slight chill in early spring, Lin Qian tightened the cloak on his body, and there was the residual temperature and breath of that person on it. She stared at the vanishing background, then turned and quietly disappeared into the night.

Outside the south gate, the captain of the guard, Ling Xuan, was telling something with one of his guards, and while instructing, he personally led a red horse, and a captain of the guard took such good care of his subordinates, which showed that this captain was indeed a good leader who was considerate of his subordinates.

The guards were still carrying baggage, as if they were going out of the city on a mission. After a few words, the guard folded his fists and rode south, and the captain of the guard stopped for a long time.
