On the second night spent in Nantong City, Tuoba Lie tossed and turned, sleepless for a long time, and the huge difference in Wang Lin's performance before and after made him realize that Shen Fei was unfathomable and could not be controlled by himself. As a king, although it is a good thing for such a strong person to accompany him, it is also a bad thing, and he can't do it as a puppet emperor like his father.

As we all know, in order to sit on the throne of the emperor, the old emperor Tuoba Gui tried his best to please the Buddha, during which he made all kinds of actions that insulted the dignity of the emperor. However, the facts presented in front of him seemed to be extremely cruel, and if he did not rely on external forces, he would not have the slightest hope of winning the throne.

Tuoba Lie is very entangled, Tuoba Lie is very helpless, he has always been above the top, unwilling to go along with the dirt, while refusing the fate of being manipulated, and on the other hand, he is helpless about the reality in front of him. The only thing that can fight against people with strange arts is those who also have strange arts, and mortals like themselves seem to be able to do nothing but please those around them who have strange arts, so that they can do their best to assist them.

What a helpless reality, just like all the innate sorrows that I was forced to have when I was born in the emperor's mound, the gap between mortals and immortals and Buddhas seems to be insurmountable.

Leaving An Linglong, saying goodbye to An'er, Tuoba Lie returned to a lonely state, he felt a little uneasy, this feeling had never appeared before, it was completely different from the bravery he showed when he marched and fought, he lost his wife's supervision, he was very confused about his future, and doubted whether he had taken the wrong path, he was originally a clear and high person, because of Qinggao, he was far away from the imperial capital, and he was unwilling to tear his face with his brothers and brothers for the sake of the throne; 。

How can there be a man without ambition in the world, it is just whether the time is ripe or not, Shen Fei has a sentence that is right, for most of the past time, he Tuoba Lie as the youngest son of His Majesty, even if the queen mother is a noble concubine, he has no chance of winning in the imperial war, and he will not be supported by others, in this case, he can only enter the frontier, expand the territory, and make contributions to attract the attention of his father, gain the recognition of the princes and ministers, and obtain the support of the army. Now, the long wait has finally paid off, and the opportunity is in front of him, how can he give up casually. Knowing this, the hurdles in my heart are really insurmountable, and I am worried about the excessive amount of Shen Fei's energy.

In the dark, Tuoba Lie tossed and turned, sleepless for a long time, and when he turned around again, he suddenly touched something slimy, sat up in shock, pulled out the dagger under the pillow, raised his hand and stabbed, without hesitation, this is a habit developed in the army for a long time, Tuoba Lie has a strong sense of vigilance, because he is on the border, he may be attacked by the enemy at any time.

"Poof!" must have stabbed something, Tuoba Lie rolled out of bed, lit the lampstand, looked closely, and found a toad-like beast pierced by his own short dagger and nailed to the bed.

"Toad?" Tuoba Lie got closer, and saw that the limbs of the little beast were like the roots of plants, sharp and sharp, with protruding eyes, and the open mouth and tongue were not long and sticky like toads, but ordinary and short, and the whole body was a piece of green, even if it was pierced by a dagger, it could continue to struggle, and its vitality was extremely strong.

Suddenly realizing that the little beast caught by himself might not be an ordinary frog, but a demon beast, Tuoba Lie felt a chill in his heart, and immediately called: "You guys, come in quickly." "Guarding the outside are Tuoba Lie's personal guards, these guards are in groups of four, divided into two shifts in the morning and evening, the inseparable guardian Tuoba Lie is the soldier he brought from the border, and the guards on the king's palace are all on the outside of their protective circle.

For these people, Tuoba Lie has absolute trust.

"Hey, do you hear me, come in. "The men who had always been well-trained took much longer to respond to their orders than before, much to the displeasure of Tuobari.

When the subordinates pushed the door into the house, they immediately wanted to get angry, but suddenly they found that their eyes were blank, their right hands were clutching the hilt of their knives, and there was something similar to the little beast on the bed lying on their necks, and the displeasure in their hearts immediately turned into uneasiness. Without hesitation, he stepped back and pulled out the saber standing beside the bed: "Hey, what's the matter with you, can't you hear my orders!"

Sure enough, the most trusted personal guard responded to his suspicions with the long knife in his hand, and the long knife passed away, and the coffee table was cut in half, and Tuoba Lie quickly dodged backwards, slammed open the window, and swept out of the back of the house.

Before he landed, he felt the cold killing intent coming from behind him, and he returned to the house without raising his head, and the saber in his hand slashed through the semicircle without hesitation, cutting off the necks of the four personal guards. In the royal family, ruthlessness is innate, the knife in his hand falls, the head falls to the ground, and the four closest guards are just pigs and dogs in his eyes, and they can take their lives at any time.

Finally gaining time to breathe, Tuoba Lie raised his eyes to look out of the house, and saw a long row of torches from far and near, entering the courtyard where he was, and under the torches, there were a pair of eyes that had lost their lustre, and on the neck of each Imperial soldier, there was a small frog-like beast lying on its stomach, and the limbs of the small beast pierced into the soft skin of human beings, as if to manipulate their minds.

Faced with such a scene, Tuoba Lie immediately felt that the situation was not optimistic, he suddenly missed Shen Fei very much, he missed him very much, this longing came from the subconscious, because he knew deeply that only Shen Fei could save his life in a desperate situation. The confusion in his heart was immediately relieved, and Tuoba Lie immediately understood that in the face of the brutal war of Kowloon for the heir, there was no doubt that it would not work without Shen Fei's help.

Without waiting for the army to stop, Tuoba Lie rushed out of the house first, the saber in his hand was slashed horizontally, killing all directions, as a soldier, he had an obvious difference from the pampered imperial princes, that is, he was not weak, and had a certain self-defense ability, but this self-defense ability was limited to the scope of manpower, and his power was limited.

Tuoba Lie was decisive and ruthless, which was also the will honed by his long military career, and he soon cut off the heads of many people, and rushed straight out of the courtyard, seeing that he was about to rush out, but just in time for Wang Lin to personally lead the troops to arrive, and held the way forward.

Seeing that Wang Lin also had a frog-like beast lying on his neck, Tuoba Lie knew that everything that happened in front of him was controlled by someone behind the scenes, and he didn't care too much, he just wanted to save his life, and retreated again, hoping to kill from the exit on the other side, but unfortunately there were already heavy troops outflanking the past, Tuoba Lie was attacked by the enemy, even if the martial arts were strong and killing people was not counted, but in the face of the soldiers who continued to attack, he began to be stretched.

At the critical moment, Chief Manager Yue led the other four personal guards to kill out of the oblique stab, converged with Tuoba Lie, and kept him fighting a bloody way, several people were struggling, if it weren't for Tuoba Lie and Chief Yue's strong martial arts, several personal guards were carefully selected, but I was afraid that they would have died long ago.

As a result, he killed and hid at the same time, and finally fell into a desperate situation, surrounded by a group of soldiers in a courtyard, with his back to a rockery, barely facing the enemy. The so-called manpower is limited and outnumbered. The power of mortals is different from that of immortals, it has its limits, and it may be possible to defeat one against a hundred, but it is impossible to fight one against a thousand, or even with one against ten thousand.

Tuoba Lie had his back against the rockery, and there was no way to retreat, facing the soldiers who kept coming up, like locusts, with many injuries on his body, and he was on the verge of collapse.

The black wind gusted, the world was cold, Tuoba Lie suddenly gave birth to a sense of despair, he had been in the army for many years, only once the experience of being besieged by the enemy, at that time he had been in command for a long time, leading three thousand soldiers to be surrounded by foreign iron cavalry on a dilapidated Gobi, for two whole days, if it was not for the general Wang personally led the army to help, I was afraid that he would never come back, that was the closest he was to death, that kind of despair from the depths of his heart is still fresh in his memory.

After many years, he experienced the same feeling again, and was surrounded by his own army, Tuoba Lie deeply felt the cruelty of the internal struggle, and deeply felt the bad feeling of the nest. He knew very well that there was only one person who could save him now, so he raised his head at an inopportune time, looked at the dark clouds in the sky and silently read out the name of that person: "Shen Fei, if you don't show up again, our ambitions will come to an abrupt end, and all plans will come to naught, how can you bear to see this! Appear quickly, quickly realize the danger of this king, and rush to rescue this king, quickly!"

It's a pity that there is no response in the slightest, the world has never sympathized with the weak, there has never been a coincidence in the world, and God will not have mercy and sympathy for the weak.

With another fierce charge from the soldiers, the bodies of the four guards were pierced by dozens of spears, bleeding profusely, and they fell to the ground miserably, leaving only Chief Yue to defend Tuoba Lie desperately. Mr. Yue used a pair of special weapons with three teeth and two blades, named Yue. This kind of weapon has teeth and hooks, can be attacked, retreated can be defended, is a kind of short weapon, heads-up can also, not suitable for war, let alone with many people with long weapons, so although the head of Yue is strong in martial arts, but always unable to perform, was stabbed from all directions spears fiercely suppressed.

He is a person who has been carefully selected and cultivated by the empire, and he ranks among the "Yue" characters among the governors, and all the meanings of life are to protect the safety of his master. At this moment, in the face of the enemy's siege and killing, he was forced into a desperate situation, and Chief Yue couldn't help crying, "Master, wait for the old slave to kill and fight to the death with that group of thieves, master, no matter what, take this opportunity to escape and find Shen Daozun, only he can help you." Manager Yue's voice was sharp and thin, but the words he spoke were impassioned, much like a gentleman.

Tuoba Lie has been accompanied by Chief Manager Yue since he was a child, and he was very moved by his perseverance at the critical moment, and stopped: "No need, just hold on to the current one acre and three points of land, and leave your life to wait for Shen Fei's rescue, it doesn't matter if you are injured, he has the elixir in his hand, and the injury can be healed in the blink of an eye." ”

"I can't hold the master, the so-called inch long and inch strong, the enemy has a large number, and the weapons are superior, only the two of us can't hold the position, only by killing out, can we get a chance. In Mr. Yue's slender eyes, there were two lines of blood and tears, and large and small wounds on his body could be seen everywhere, some were shallow, and some were deep and boneless. Ordinary people can't condense immortal power, and they should have been unable to support such a serious injury a long time ago, and they have been able to survive until now, all because of their loyalty to their master. As a eunuch, his body is crippled, and he should have been submissive all his life, because of the importance of the prince of Lie, he has obtained the status of one person and above ten thousand people, and he has sincere feelings for the prince of Lie.

"In the end, this king is the master or you are the master, this king said to defend the position, you need to defend the position, grinding and chirping what to do. Once again, Tuoba refused.

"Lord, lord, the old slave knows that you are righteous, and knows that you are different from other princes, and your kindness and righteousness are appreciated by the old slave. It's just that the life of the old slave originally existed for you, the prince, and it is a matter of course to sacrifice your life for you, just ask you to see the old slave's loyalty, send the old slave's "baby" to your hometown, and die without regrets. After that, the left and right Yue buzzed and rotated, and there was a chilling Gang Qi condensed on the Yue, which was the internal force that people who practiced martial arts had cultivated after a long period of training, a kind of power that was completely different from the immortal power and came from the depths of the heart.

Immediately afterward, Chief Manager Yue stepped forward and rushed out, spinning two axes vertically and horizontally, cutting off the tips of countless spears, and killing a bloody path in the crowd.

Tuoba Lie sighed, although he couldn't bear it, he couldn't let Manager Yue's efforts go in vain, and fled along the gap he killed, and finally saw some hope of escaping and ascending to heaven, but was blocked by the overwhelming rain of arrows. The rain of arrows covered the sky like a fine net, blocking all retreats.

Seeing that there was no way forward, there were pursuers behind, and the glorious life was about to end at the threshold of the battle for the succession of Kowloon, Tuoba Lie was disheartened, scolded the injustice of the sky, and raised his saber to fight the enemy. At this moment, bursts of light radiated from the sky, and the cold sword intent was like a mang's back, the person who should come is finally here, he, the eleventh prince's life!
