General

The desert in the far northwest is still a desolate scene, the land full of yellow sand is covered with a layer of mottled frost and snow, and the roaring cold wind blows by, slashing the frontier soldiers in the middle like knives.

"General Tuoba, I heard that Longxiao Kingdom removed Li Xuan's military power and sent an incompetent person to guard the border, but is it true?" Nang, respecting another man in armor, said in a somewhat mocking voice.

"That's true." Tuoba Han also picked up his own cowhide wine bag, raised his head and took a big gulp, wiped his mouth and continued, "Although it's not so stupid, but both bravery and strategy are worse than that Li Xuan I don’t know how much, but this time, I, Xuanming, will definitely win, and I will definitely break through the capital of Longxiao Kingdom in one fell swoop!”

"No wonder, I heard that the eldest prince and the second prince in the court were going to ask for a personal conscript yesterday, and they are fighting for life and death." The lieutenant laughed, shaking the wine bag that had already bottomed out mockingly, and shook his head slightly Said, "In a battle that must be won, as long as you come and show off, you can get military merits and lay a good foundation for future competition for the crown prince. How can you not grab such a beautiful thing that falls from the sky?"

Tuobahan also smiled, with his arms resting on his raised knees casually, but his eyes fell on the red-hot coals: "Then guess... who will get the power of warlord in the end?"

"I guess it's the second prince." The lieutenant raised his eyebrows proudly, "His riding and shooting are even better."

"I guess...it's the eldest prince..." Tuoba Han curled his lips slightly, lowered his voice and smiled softly, "Recently, there have been rumors in the court that he has a close relationship with Fei Yan, the leader of the Blood Pavilion, so don't underestimate this pillowy guy. role~"

"Hahaha, then let's take a gamble, and whoever loses will be compensated with a good meal of wine and meat, how about it?" The deputy general looked at the empty ground, except for the burning charcoal fire, there was not even a snack, So smash it, smash your mouth, and raised an eyebrow at Tuoba Han.

"It's a deal." Tuoba Han touched the wine bag with the wine bag in his hand as a promise, but the corner of his mouth evoked a smile that was inevitable...

……

As the night fell, there was already a clump of shadows outside the Xuanming Hall. In the bitter cold wind, a slender figure staggered along the green brick path, and a long sword wound on his chest was still faintly oozing blood. .

"Fei Yan!"

A soft call came from the shadow not far away, Fei Yan, the leader of the Blood Pavilion, endured the severe pain that penetrated into the bone marrow, and slowly stopped, looking for his reputation.

"Are you going to see the emperor?"

The eldest prince Nanli leaned out half of his body from the shadow of the trees, with a slightly unfathomable smile on his face.

"...Yes, First Prince." Fei Yan painfully moved his steps towards Nanli, gritted his teeth and responded.

"Are you injured?" Under the cool moonlight, Nanli saw the blood oozing from his clothes, his eyes suddenly froze, and he walked forward a few steps, grabbed his strong wrist and said in a low voice, " Your complexion is so bad, is it serious?"

"No." Fei Yan was taken aback by his sudden movement, and tried hard to shake off the confinement between his fingers, but because of his lack of strength, he couldn't break free after all, "It's a blood oath, there is still half a day left." It's going to happen in an hour."

"So, you're going to court Father..." Nanli's dark eyes suddenly deepened, and even the fingers holding Feiyan became more and more forceful unconsciously.

"Blood."

Fei Yan panted for a moment, resisting the pain of lingering pain all over his body, raised his head, looked at Nanli's gloomy face, and corrected him coldly.

"What did the father give you... I'm afraid no one will know it!" Nanli snorted displeased, but there was a trace of resentment in his words, "I also have his blood flowing on my body, you don't even know what it is!" Don't you even try?!"

"No need...if the First Prince wants his subordinates...to suffer less pain, let them go...Go to Xuanming Palace earlier..." Fei Yan clenched his fists tightly, his whole body began to tremble desperately, Even maintaining a standing posture gradually became difficult.

"Okay...okay..." Looking at his stubborn and forbearing eyes, Nanli could only let go of his arm unwillingly, and whispered close to his ear, "For the attack on Longxiao Kingdom, remember that when Father Fight for me in front of the emperor, if I get the throne in the future, I will definitely not make you suffer again."
