"Huh, huhu, huhu!" "Together, several white wolves appeared from the sky, grazing low overhead, like white ghosts, the city patrol chief could no longer hold himself, and shouted: "Retreat, retreat, retreat to the city, retreat quickly." He took the lead, dragged his heavy armor and weapons and fled to the city, and came to the city in embarrassment, but the city gate was closed, and waved his hand to the city: "Open the city gate, open the city gate, open the city gate quickly, there is an enemy attack." It's a pity that no one paid attention to him, and Wang Lin, the general guarding the city, had already come to the city, looked down with cold eyes, and didn't say a word.

The patrol officer immediately understood the meaning of his gaze, no longer begged to open the city gate, and led more than fifty soldiers to form an array, shrinking under the city, not daring to make a slight move.

But he saw the three people riding forward and walked leisurely to the city, and the man in military uniform took the initiative to come out and shouted to the city: "General Wang Lin, in the eleventh son of the lower emperor, Tuoba Lie, escort the felons passing by here, please open the door." ”

"Is it really His Royal Highness the Prince, why did you come so soon, say it early, and my subordinates will go down ten miles away to greet you. Wang Lin shouted in the city.

Tuoba Lie knew that he hadn't seen him, and he couldn't be sure of his identity, so he immediately took out his personal waist card and showed it to him: "General Wang, open the city gate, the team is behind, we need supplies and rest." ”

"How is it a wooden waist card, as far as I know, His Royal Highness the prince's waist card should be made of gold. Wang Lin watched intently and found that something was wrong.

But he heard Tuoba Lie say: "The personal waist card given by my father and the king is not carried by the king, and this wooden waist card is enough to explain the identity of the king." ”

Wang Lin still couldn't believe it, he always maintained a cautious and cautious attitude and Tuoba Liela's "drawer" was unwilling to open the city gate, even if he knew that His Royal Highness the prince might escort the prisoner to settle here in the near future, but without seeing the prince's personal waist card, he was still extremely cautious, even if he offended the other party, he did not hesitate.

In fact, although Tuoba Lie's personal waist card was not brought with him, but in Shen Fei's hands, in order to win over Shen Fei that day, he deliberately gave the personal waist card to Shen Fei, which was the highest token symbolizing the identity of the prince, and the status of the wooden waist card held by the eunuch was several layers higher. Shen Fei could have taken out the prince's waist card at this moment, but he didn't want to do it, after all, others saw that the prince's waist card was in his hand, and his reputation was not good, so he waited patiently and waited for the arrival of the thousand-man army.

After listening to the conversation between Tuoba Lie and General Wang Lin, the city patrol chief felt apprehensive in his heart, and said secretly: Tuoba Lie? Is it the eleventh prince who has been in the army since childhood? No wonder only generals can wear military uniforms. It's just that with his identity, why does he stand in a biased position instead of being right, and what is the identity of the person in the middle?

The prefect of the city patrol was convinced of Tuoba Lie's identity, after all, not everyone could wear the uniform of the imperial general, and he also knew very well that his own general had always been known for being cautious and cautious, and only he could not allow him to pass even if he had already seen the prince's waist card. In fact, although the wooden waist card is not as convincing as the gold waist card, it can not be faked casually, it can be regarded as a kind of personal waist card, in addition to General Wang Lin, the second person has already opened the city gate, and came out to greet him, after all, Tuoba Lie is likely to be the future His Majesty the Yellow Emperor.

Thinking that he had just ordered the soldiers to form a battle formation to "greet" His Royal Highness, the city patrol chief felt that his future was bleak.

Tuoba Lie is in the army, for several generals have heard of the temperament, General Wang Lin has always been known for being cautious, almost everyone in the army knows, it is said that when he was a thousand commanders in the border army, the general Wang Shangguan Hongri went to the army to investigate, he actually refused to open the gate of the fortress on the grounds that Shangguan Hongri did not carry the commander's order flag, Shangguan Hongri said that it was useless, and was actually blocked outside his own fortress for more than an hour, and finally his subordinates took the order flag to be able to enter the tent, Shangguan Hongri was furious, and ordered to escort Wang Lin to the imperial capital for trial, I thought he could be executed, but I never thought that His Majesty would know about it, Thinking that Wang Lin was not wrong, His Majesty said: The order is forbidden, it is the mission of the soldiers, and the general Wang did not carry the order flag, so Wang Lin, as a party guard, should not be allowed to let go. In this way, Wang Lin was not only exempted from the death penalty, but even promoted him to a general, so that he could defend Nantong City, an important town.

Wang Lin's position as the city guard of Nantong City was obtained in this way, and it was indeed not easy to let him open the city gate easily.

Tuoba Lie knew this very well, and while continuing to negotiate with him, he waited for the thousand-man army to come forward. The Thousand Men were infantry, and were not able to ride high horses like him, and marched much slower.

The city patrol chief looked at Tuoba Lie tirelessly negotiating with General Wang Lin, and said in his heart: This prince is indeed different from other princes, no wonder he was able to defend the border for so long, and even became a general.

In sight, the orderly march of the army emerged from the darkness, and the glow of the flames could only reflect their full picture when they were close enough. Previously in the dark zone, slow movement and wolf howl, like a moving zombie horde, now suddenly appeared in sight, only to find that it has nothing to do with zombies at all, they are all Imperial soldiers wearing the same armor as themselves, and several of them are very familiar with themselves.

"It turned out to be the army that was transferred to Jinling City before. The Governor muttered to himself.

Tuoba Lie waved his hand to the city: "General Wang Lin, your own brothers should always know each other, this king is the eleventh prince Tuoba Lie, and the army behind you is a general, you were sent to Jinling by the will of your father to assist this king in arresting the suspect, yes, open the city gate quickly." ”

"It's really His Royal Highness the Prince, it's unreasonable, please forgive your sins. Wang Lin showed a look of sudden realization, quickly walked down the city, and led the soldiers out to greet him.

Wang Lin is a little short, very stocky, the kind of small but sturdy type, wearing a horned helmet, wearing chain mail, carrying a meteor hammer at his waist, and walking like a fully armed little rhinoceros. Quickly approaching, his hands tightly clasped tightly with the dismounted Tuobarye.

"I am late to greet you, please forgive your highness. "Wang Lin did not kneel to Tuoba Lie, because according to the imperial decree, all high-ranking military officials above the rank of commander of a thousand commanders are loyal to His Majesty alone, and only kneel to the present long live.

Tuoba Lie shook his hands with him and said with a hearty smile: "General Wang, what are you talking about, conscientiously defending the city, what is the mistake at all, it is the king's negligence that he did not carry the waist card given by his father and the prince with him." ”

"Your Highness, don't say that, it's a torment for a king. Wang Lin's whole body was almost covered by chain mail, and only a round face with high cheekbones was revealed, which was the face, the skin was red and black, like a monkey's buttocks, which made people want to laugh.

Tuoba Lie knew that Wang Lin was able to get mixed up to this day because of his absolute loyalty to his father, and he did not hesitate to offend the general Wang for this, and his father promoted him precisely because of this, and it was impossible for him to show respect for him, and after a few brief and polite words, he went straight to the point: "General Wang, the brothers are tired, hurry up and let us go in and rest." ”

"Not yet, there's still something to deal with! Who is the guy who just defended the city, stand up for me. Wang Lin's voice instantly became very cold and cold, so cold that people's hearts trembled, and after a while, the city patrol commander who dared to stop Tuoba Lie walked up and knelt down on one knee, "General, you are here." ”

Wang Lin let go of Tuoba Lie, turned to look at him, and squeezed out a voice from between his teeth: "As a patrol guard, what crime should you be guilty of escaping from the battle!"

"The general knew that the enemy army was strong, and he didn't want to sacrifice the lives of his brothers in vain, so he retreated to the city, not because he had the intention of escaping. ”

In the case of difficult identification, the patrol guards need to confront the enemy outside the city, delay as much time as possible, and provide more guarantees for the completion of the city's defenses, which is written in the discipline of the army, you as the commander of the city patrol should know better than anyone else, and dare to quibble with me. ”

Seeing Wang Lin's angry face, the prefect of the city patrol knew that no matter how much he quibbled, it was useless, so he simply knelt down and begged: "Humble and wrong, please punish the chief." ”

"The punishment is certain, according to the military law, the rod is a hundred strokes. With a wave of Wang Lin's hand, several soldiers immediately stepped forward and tied up the city patrol chief, who lowered his head and did not say a word, so he could only consider himself unlucky.

"Wait. When he was about to take it away, Tuoba Lie suddenly spoke, "General Wang, although the city patrol envoy is at fault, but after all, the adjustment of the queue has had a confrontation with this king, and he successfully awakened the soldiers in the city to light the beacon fire, so you can consider a lighter punishment." ”

The city patrol chief raised his head, facing Tuoba Lie, his eyes were full of gratitude, the army staff was a hundred, if he was not dead, he was crippled, and he also lost his existing official position, which was equivalent to ruining his life, and the city patrol chief who was secretly scolding Tuoba Lie suddenly heard the other party interceding for himself, and immediately had a good impression.

Unexpectedly, Wang Lin said: "Your Royal Highness, you have also been in the army, and you know the truth that military orders are like mountains, and the system set by the army can only be implemented 100 percent. ”

"General Wang, this king thinks that it is really wrong for him to say that he escaped from the battle, after all, this king is not an enemy, are you right? ”

"This ......" Wang Lin was silent, and after a long time, his eyes rolled, his tone softened, and he changed his words: "What His Highness said is reasonable, and he has accepted the humble position, so let's do it, the staff is twenty, and the position will be demoted by one level, and the deputy envoy of the city patrol will be demoted, you can see it." ”

"Thank you, General Wang, for your mercy. ”

"Pull it down. ”

Ignoring the obstruction of the soldiers, the chief of the city patrol knelt on the ground and kowtowed again and again: "Your Highness Xie, General Xie, Your Highness Xie, General Xie, from now on, I will definitely do my best for Your Highness and the general, and I will die." ”

His voice was getting farther and farther away, he was pulled down by the soldiers, and twenty canes were already the lightest punishment, and the city patrol chief really should be grateful to Tuoba Lie.

Wang Lin nodded, and turned his eyes to look at Shen Fei, who was still sitting on horseback, he had already discovered that when they were riding together, the eleventh prince Tuoba Lie was not in the middle position, which was obviously abnormal.

"Your Royal Highness, these two are. Shen Fei heard him ask himself, and took the initiative to get off the horse and stepped forward, "In the envoy of the Lower Dao Sect, Shen Fei." ”

Shen Fei was dressed in green clothes, dismounted gracefully, and when he reported his identity, General Wang frowned, looked the other party up and down suspiciously, and said in his heart: "Daoist envoy, why is His Royal Highness the prince so close to the people of Daozong?"

Wang Lin is a general who guards the city, and he knows more about the affairs of the human kingdom, and the princes compete for the throne, and there are abnormal forces behind them, but judging from the current situation, he still does not dare to do too much, because Buddhism is the faith of the people, even the ten princes who are the most powerful, do not dare to get too close to any pagan sect in public.

However, His Royal Highness Lie, who came back from the war, actually gave up the throne to a person who claimed to be the envoy of the Taoist Sect, does this already mean that he has an alliance with the Taoist Sect, in other words, Wang Zilie formed an alliance with the Taoist Sect in order to join the war between the princes, and made enemies with the Buddhist Sect.

Princes, he is the first one who dares to openly say that he does not believe in Buddhism, whether the newborn calf is not afraid of death, or whether he thinks foresightily, I don't know.

smiled and said, "I am Wang Lin, the general guarding Nantong City." ”

"Hello General Wang. Shen Fei smiled and bowed his hand to him, "I have heard the name of General Wang for a long time, and when I saw it today, I knew that the fame was more than the rumors, the military discipline was strict, and the actions were steady and steady, which is really admirable." ”

"You're overly praised. Wang Lin thought about it for a long time, but he didn't come up with what to call Shen Fei, so he simply omitted the title.

"That one is ......" finally asked Chu Xie, but unfortunately Chu Xie was unwilling to deal with him, sat on horseback and looked down, and said to himself: "I am Chu Xie, Chu is Chu of Chu Overlord, and evil is an evil spirit." ”

Chu Xie didn't even give face to the immortals, let alone an ordinary person, sitting on a horse and talking to Wang Lin, looking high.

After all, Wang Lin is a general, and his face is a little unbearable, but Shen Fei still has the eyesight to see it, and takes the initiative to relieve the siege: "General Wang, don't blame, that is my brother, born with divine power, his eyes are above the top, I will make amends to you on his behalf." ”

"Hmph, I have long heard that immortals are arrogant, and I only know that the rumors are true when I see them with my own eyes, and Wang has also accepted it. ”

"General Wang, you don't care about villains, don't mind too much. Shen Fei apologized with a smile, and Chu Xie's pot could only be carried by himself.

Unexpectedly, Chu Xie didn't appreciate it at all, and after listening to Wang Lin's reluctant complaint, he clamped his legs, jumped up from the horse's back and rose into the air, and rushed forward with a punch.

"Boom!" "Boom!" The fist strength is like a substance, rushing forward, hitting the city wall to cause the effect of shaking the ground and shaking the mountains, and the soldiers defending the city are staggering, unable to hold themselves, and the dust falls: "I am not afraid of the evil sky, I am not afraid of the earth, what can you do." The roaring sound caused a storm and caused pain in the eardrums of those present.
