Chapter 1422 Don't come any closer!
As dawn broke, the atmosphere in the Jin Kingdom's camp was very strange.
Wanyan Wosai and Wanyan Zhamu are now in charge of all the scheduling within the entire camp.
They were both completely bewildered. What happened last night was so sudden. To put it simply, they went back to their respective tents to sleep last night, and when they woke up, the sky had fallen!
What? Yin Shu can seriously injure someone to the point of near death? No problem, no problem, we still have Brother Lou Shi.
What?! Brother Lou has been killed?! Wait, go tell the Emperor immediately!
What?! The Emperor has been beheaded too?!
No, we only slept together for one night. Was it really that eventful?
So when the two of them arrived at the camp surrounded by a large group of Jin soldiers, they looked at each other, genuinely unsure of what to do.
"Sixth Brother, what should we do?"
Wanyan Zhamu said, "You are the older brother, so it's time for you to make the decision."
"You ask me, how would I know?"
Wanyan Wosai was now at a loss. Should he first hold a funeral for Wanyan Aguda? Or stabilize the morale of the army? Or go to the Yi people to ransom the heads that had been taken away?
"Tsk..."
For a moment, the two stared at each other, each hoping the other would come up with some brilliant plan.
"Your Highnesses, what should we do next?"
Seeing that the two remained silent, the crowd urged them again, their meaning clear: now you two princes have the highest status, don't try to pretend you're deaf and dumb!
"How is Yin Shuke now?"
Seeing that staring at each other was pointless, Wanyan Wosai had no choice but to speak.
"Your Majesty, the physicians are doing their utmost to save him, but the General was already weak after losing his arm, and now he has been stabbed in the chest. Now, now..."
The soldiers said that even if Silver Sage wasn't dead now, he couldn't be of any help.
"How many people in the camp know about the Emperor's assassination?"
"The camp was in complete chaos last night, with all sorts of news spreading everywhere, including the news of the Emperor's assassination. At least half the army knows about it now!"
"This is getting complicated..."
Wanyan Wosai shook his head repeatedly. He had originally thought that if not many people knew about it, he would simply find someone to impersonate the emperor and stabilize the morale of the army first.
Unexpectedly... half the camp knew the emperor had been killed, so how could they continue pretending? What was the point of pretending then?
Wanyan Wosai fell into deep thought. Now, every decision he made was for the sake of hundreds of thousands of people here, so he could not act rashly.
But seeing that he remained silent, Wanyan Zhamu didn't want to wait any longer and took the initiative to ask him:
"How did Brother Lou die?"
Wanyan Zhamu and Wanyan Loushi had a very good relationship, so after learning of Wanyan Loushi's death, the thing Wanyan Zhamu wanted to do most was to avenge Wanyan Loushi.
"Among the people of Yiguo, there was an assassin, the one who tried to assassinate the emperor. He seriously injured the Grand Marshal. Then a man with a long spear came over and, taking advantage of the Grand Marshal's inattention, killed him from behind."
"What a cunning assassin! He severely wounded Brother Lou and even killed the Emperor! Others might swallow this insult, but I won't! Come, gather your men! Let's go get revenge!"
Wanyan Zhamu declared, "How dare someone ambush my elder brother Lou Shi and even kill the Emperor! I cannot tolerate this! I must muster my men to avenge him!"
"Eleventh brother, what are you doing?"
Wanyan Wosai was startled from his reverie by his words and immediately stopped him.
"I want to avenge my elder brother Lou Shi and the Emperor!"
Wanyan Zhamu said, "How can we not avenge such a great grudge!"
"How do I report it? Tell me how to report it?"
Wanyan Wosai slammed his hand on the table, making it shake!
"That person can kill Lou Shi, so he can kill you!"
"Besides, you know how strong the Yi Kingdom's army is! Are you trying to send your men to their deaths by leading them into battle now?"
"What should we do then? Sixth Brother, are we just going to do nothing?"
Wanyan Zhamu asked, "Are we just going to sit here like this?"
"What we need to do now is maintain the stability of the army! We can't let the army break out of camp!"
After thinking it over, Wanyan Wosai had a general idea in mind.
"I will issue an order in a moment: all generals must keep their troops in check. The matter of the Emperor's death and the Grand Marshal's murder is to be put to rest. The soldiers must not be allowed to discuss it in private!"
"Furthermore, immediately send someone back to the capital by express courier to tell Fourth Brother to ascend the throne immediately!"
"What? Fourth Brother has succeeded to the throne?"
Wanyan Zhamu was taken aback. "Sixth Brother, do you want to hear what you're saying?"
"His Majesty has passed away, but my Great Jin still stands! My Great Jin still needs to wage war against Yi! A country cannot be without a ruler for a single day! Fourth Brother is now Anban Bojilie, and he is qualified to succeed to the throne!"
Wanyan Wosai stated that, according to the laws of the Great Jin Dynasty, his fourth brother, Wanyan Wugumai, was the most suitable successor!
"Sixth Brother, the Emperor has children!"
But Wanyan Zhamu disagreed, pointing out, "Zonggan! Zongwang! Zongfu! Zongbi! Zongjun! They can all be chosen!"
"Didn't you hear the military report just now?! Zongwang has been captured! Zongbi has lost an eye and is still recuperating in the capital!"
Wanyan Wosai stated that none of the current imperial nephews are as suitable as Wanyan Wuqimai.
"...That's true, but Sixth Brother, you have to get Fourth Brother to guarantee that after his death, the throne will return to the Emperor's direct bloodline!"
After pondering for a moment, Wanyan Zhamu made her request.
"Forget about whether Fourth Brother lives or dies. Let's just leave it at that."
Wanyan Wosai said, "Let's leave it at that for now."
"What about the army?"
"Tell Fourth Brother the truth about the situation here. After Fourth Brother ascends the throne, whether to fight or make peace, we will listen to Fourth Brother!"
Wanyan Wosai cleverly shifted this heavy responsibility from himself to Wanyan Wuqimai, who was still in the capital.
"……it is good."
After thinking about it for a while, Wanyan Zhamu finally agreed.
However, what they did not know was that the distant capital of the Jin Kingdom was not peaceful at this time either!
From the city gate of the imperial city, the bloodstains on the ground never stopped and extended all the way to the palace!
"No, don't come any closer!"
"He's not human, he's not human!"
……
The Jin imperial guards protecting the palace and the capital are now retreating!
They've been fighting since last night. A killing god who escaped from the imperial prison has gathered a lot of desperados and has been attacking the imperial city!
The leader, armed with two swords, fought his way from the gate of the imperial city all the way to the gate of the palace city without even blinking!
At this moment, Wuyan Guang, who was charging at the forefront, was only wearing simple leather armor. He was covered in blood, and several arrows were still stuck in his body.
As for his face, Wuyan Guang's face was covered in blood and grime, and there was even a long wound left by a commander of the Imperial Guard who fought to the death. It looked very horrifying at the moment.
"Wuyan Guang, shall we kill him again?"
Behind Wuyan Guang were seven or eight ruthless men who had come out of the prison together. They were very powerful today, and they were almost at the Jin Kingdom's palace!
"kill!"
Wu Yanguang wiped the blood from his face! The murderous intent in his eyes did not diminish in the slightest!
He knew that only by breaking through could he possibly see his daughter.
Moreover, if they could kill members of the Jin royal family, it would be a way of giving the Liao Kingdom an explanation...
