The three daughters of Wanyan Shili left Beijing and were escorted by the Yulin Army and Jinyi Guards to the Five Kingdoms City to unveil the newly built Jindi Temple and complete the sacrifices to Aguda.
Wang Lin chose this moment to let the three women push forward the matter with great fanfare, which of course has a strong political overtone.
Although this move will arouse some opposition and national sentiments in Dayan, it is mainly for the Jurchens.
After all, Wang Lin's recognition of Aguda's political status is equivalent to opening a way for the Jurchens who are willing to submit to survive.
The north wind is howling. As a small city north of Yanjing near Gubeikou, Wuguocheng is actually not inhabited by Han people. It is mainly the Aguda disciples and their retinues and servants. They live in the center of Wuguocheng. This city
There is also a 100-household station where Jin Yiwei is stationed.
On the outskirts of the city, there are inns and shops where passing merchants stayed.
The driving team of Wanyan Shili's three daughters, numbering over a thousand people, slowly drove into the Five Kingdoms City. Both sides of the wide street were filled with merchants who came to watch the excitement. At the gate of the inner city, Wanyan Zongbi and Wanyan Zongwang led A Gu to attack the Zhuge River.
The son and his family members are waiting here with respectful expressions.
Today's Aguda disciples no longer have the majesty and magnanimity of the past.
They were imprisoned in the Five Kingdoms City and had no worries about food and clothing. They had long since erased their past vigor and sharpness, and began to accept their fate and settle for the status quo of wealth and comfort.
The luxurious carriage in which Wanyan Shili and the three girls were riding gradually approached. When the curtain opened and a young woman in a gorgeous palace dress, a thick cloak and a veil got out of the carriage first, Wanyan Zongbi and Wanyan Zongbi
Yan Zongwang took a deep breath and bowed down together with his disciples: "Welcome the three empresses!"
The cold wind blew, and a figure suddenly emerged from the crowd behind Wanyan Zongbi, and a sword light passed across the air. Along with the screams of everyone at the scene, this sword light had already rolled towards the woman in palace clothes.
Wanyan Zongbi's face turned pale.
But something unexpected happened, and he had no idea how one of his followers was mixed into the assassins.
And if... I thought that if something went wrong with Wanyan Shili and the three girls in Five Kingdoms City, and Emperor Yan was furious, they would not be able to save their lives, Wanyan Zongbi's mouth twitched violently.
There were endless exclamations on the field, and then several figures rose up from the ground. They were in mid-air, and several swords were gleaming, and they struck at the carriage in the field.
…
The three imperial concubines Wanyan and Shili were assassinated!
The Jin Yiwei and the Royal Forest Army immediately surrounded the Five Kingdoms City, detained Wanyan Zongbi, Wanyan Zongwang and other disciples, and screened the foreign merchants and related persons one by one.
In the Five Kingdoms City, in front of the mountain gate of the Jindi Temple, Wanyan Shili sighed quietly, took off the veil on his face, and slowly walked up the steps of the mountain gate.
After her, Wanyan Wulu and Wanyan Yongning also walked out of the crowd of palace maids one after another, walked up the steps, and stood side by side with Wanyan Shili, staring at the life-size Aguda statue inside the mountain gate.
"Two sisters, I didn't expect that Your Majesty was right again. There is no peace in the Five Kingdoms City. Some people actually want to kill me. I wonder which brother is responsible for this?"
Wanyan Wulu frowned. Suddenly, more than ten skilled killers suddenly appeared in the crowd that had just welcomed them. After the operation failed, they immediately committed suicide. They looked like dead soldiers. If the emperor had not made arrangements and prepared substitutes for them, they would not be able to do this.
Even if you don't die, you will still be injured.
"It must be Zong Bi! He has always been evil-minded, and he still has the luck to escape back to the Jin Kingdom and regain power. He doesn't even think about it, even if he kills us, will he be able to escape from the Five Kingdoms City?"
Wanyan Yongning said quietly: "No matter who wants to kill us, it is chilling. We are close relatives. Moreover, I doubt their intentions."
Wanyan Shili said angrily: "Kill you and me three to vent our anger? They don't even think about it. If something happens to us in Five Kingdoms City, will Your Majesty be able to spare them? I'm afraid none of them will survive!"
The Jin Yiwei escorted Wanyan Zongbi and more than a hundred people. The group of people were tied up by the Jin Yiwei, and then they knelt down in a mess in the empty field in front of the temple gate under the Jin Yiwei's scolding.
Wanyan Shili's angry eyes passed over Wanyan Zongbi and others one by one. He couldn't help but pull out a long sword from the hand of the female Jin Yiwei next to him. He jumped forward with a strong step, approached Wanyan Zongbi's throat and said angrily.
: "Brother Six, you did a good job, but you actually wanted to assassinate three of our sisters!"
She stamped her feet and said sadly: "We are close relatives! How could you do this?"
Wanyan Zongbi was the most thoughtful among the scholars, and Wanyan Shili subconsciously believed that the mastermind of the assassination was Wanyan Zongbi.
Wanyan Zongbi's bleak expression twitched, and he said in a trembling voice: "To tell you the truth, Zongbi would not dare to do such a thing. Zongbi had no idea when an assassin had sneaked into Five Kingdoms City."
Wanyan Zongbi is still in a state of confusion.
Wanyan Zongbi subconsciously glanced at Wanyan Zongwang, who was silent next to him, from the corner of his eye.
Wanyan Wulu took two steps forward and said calmly: "Zongbi, Zongwang, in front of the father's ancestral temple, please tell the truth. Although we three sisters are committed to your majesty, we have not done anything to harm the people of the tribe. And to tell the truth, if not
We three sisters are exhorting each other so nicely in front of His Majesty, how can we have the wealth and comfort of you people in Five Kingdoms City? Do you want to repay kindness with enmity?"
Wanyan Zongwang said in a low voice: "Wulu, I, Zongbi, and all my brothers have absolutely no intention of assassinating you. Moreover, as you said, our wealth and life are all in the hands of the three of you. How can I
Can you destroy the city wall yourself?
I think that Uncle Wu’s beggar must have been sneaking into Five Kingdoms City recently.”
Wanyan Wulu's expression changed: "Uncle Wu Qimai? What does he want? Now that the two countries are at war, the only option is to fight to the death. He sent people to sneak into Dayan to assassinate our sisters..."
Wanyan Zongwang gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "I think they intend to instigate Emperor Yan to kill us... Wu Lu, think about it, if the three of you really die in Five Kingdoms City, how will Emperor Yan deal with our brothers? Wu Lu
Uncle Beggar has such a poisonous heart!"
Wanyan Yongning frowned slightly: "But even if Uncle Wu Qimai borrowed a knife to kill people and used Your Majesty to wipe out all of my father's lineage, what good would it do to him and Dajin?"
Wanyan Zongbi sneered: "It's nothing more than taking a desperate risk and grabbing chestnuts from the fire! In the wilderness of Wuchuan, I still have 30,000 soldiers who have surrendered to the Emperor Yan to herd horses. If these soldiers heard that we were slaughtered by Emperor Yan, they would definitely get up.
And rebel! And Wu Qimai uncle plotted, should
It was these people who wanted to bring chaos to the country of Yan so that he could profit from it. Unfortunately, he really underestimated the methods of the Emperor of Yan. He stationed heavy troops in the fields of Wuchuan to protect the army and open up wasteland, not to mention the two to thirty thousand unarmed soldiers.
, even an army of 100,000 people cannot make a big wave!"
