Chapter 305: The Assassination of Yan Ningjie
Wanyan Zongmei paced alone in the wide courtyard, each step was heavy and powerful, as if measuring the anxiety and expectation in her heart.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on his face, reflecting a resolute gold. Since Yan Zonghan's usurpation of the throne, his life has been like this sunset, full of gloom and unease. that
The faces of some relatives who were brutally slaughtered by Wanyan Zonghan often appeared in front of his eyes, becoming his lingering nightmare.
Now, he is eagerly awaiting news from the Great Song court.
This powerful neighbor may be the key to their revenge. As long as the Great Song is willing to support, he and his imperial brother Wanyan Zongyi will have the opportunity to join forces to regain the throne and avenge their relatives.
At this time, a guard hurriedly ran over and conveyed the summons of the Great Song court.
Wanyan Zongmei's heart tightened, knowing that this was a critical moment related to the revenge plan.
He quickly returned to his room and straightened his clothes in front of the bronze mirror, making sure that his image was impeccable.
Then, hurried to the palace hall.
The ministers stood on either side, their eyes focused on Wanyan Zongmei's body, as if assessing his every move.
Wanyan Zongmei took a deep breath and stepped forward, and saluted Zhao Yingluo respectfully: "The foreign minister has seen Her Royal Highness the princess. ”
Zhao Yingluo groaned for a moment, and then said, "After careful consideration, the Great Song Dynasty decided to help Yan Zongyi. ”
Hearing this, Wanyan Zongmei's heart swelled with ecstasy.
He looked up at Zhao Yingluo, his eyes shining with gratitude.
At this time, Zuo Xiang Lu Yihao stepped forward and explained to him in detail the aid plan of the Great Song Dynasty.
Although Wanyan Zongmei was a little disappointed that Da Song was reluctant to send troops directly, when he saw the solemnity that flashed in Lu Yihao's eyes, he understood that this plan was well thought out.
Wanyan Zongmei took a deep breath and tried to calm her excited mood: "On behalf of Jin Guo, the minister thanked the Great Song Dynasty for his support!" If the imperial brother can regain the throne, we will definitely maintain peaceful coexistence with the Great Song Dynasty. ”
Zhao Yingluo smiled slightly, and her eyes revealed an unfathomable wisdom: "Wanyan Zongmei, you must understand that the reason why the Great Song Dynasty is willing to support you is because we also want to see a stable and peaceful Jin country." After Yan Zongyi regains the throne, we will discuss the relationship between the two countries. ”
Wanyan Zongmei nodded in understanding: "Your Royal Highness the princess, rest assured, the minister will definitely convey your meaning to the imperial brother." We believe that under your rule, the Great Song Dynasty will become more and more prosperous. ”
Zhao Yingluo nodded with satisfaction after hearing this: "This is very good, and I look forward to our future cooperation to bring more peace and prosperity." ”
After bowing deeply again to express his gratitude, he withdrew from the main hall, his figure looked more determined and confident in the afterglow of the setting sun, he knew that with the support of the Great Song, their path to revenge would be smoother.
After learning the news that the Great Song princess Zhao Yingluo had decided to aid Wanyan Zongyi, the sworn enemy of the Dajin Imperial Court, Wanyan Ningjie, the envoy of the Jin Emperor, the envoy of Wanyan Zonghan, the anxiety in his heart burned like a raging fire.
He was well aware that this decision was a huge threat to Dajin and that he had to act as soon as possible.
However, Wanyan Ningjie is not an impulsive person.
He knew that it was too risky to carry out an assassination in Kaifeng City, and if it failed, it would cause a diplomatic storm between the Great Song Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom.
Therefore, he decided to choose to do it outside the city, on the way back to the capital after Yan Zongmei.
Wan Yan Ning Jie orchestrated an assassination attempt.
He selected a group of skilled and tenacious Assassins, and personally led them to ambush them on the path that Wanyan Zongmei must pass.
In order to ensure the success of the operation, he also deliberately drew up a detailed map to mark the best assassination sites.
On the day she left Kaifeng City, Wanyan Zongmei was in a good mood.
Dressed in gorgeous armor and riding a tall horse, he led a team of elite horsemen and galloped along the official road.
They traveled extremely fast, and soon came to a desolate wilderness.
At the same time, Wanyan Ningjie and the Assassins had already laid an ambush in the woods on both sides of the field.
They were cloaked in black cloaks, veiled over their faces, and their bodies were tense like arrows ready to strike.
When Wanyan Zongmei's team entered the valley, Wanyan Ningjie felt that the time was ripe. He waved his hand sharply, and the assassins rushed towards Wanyan Somei's team like arrows off the string.
Their movements were swift and fierce, as if a black whirlwind swept in.
Wanyan Zongmei heard the movement behind her, turned around suddenly, and was immediately shocked.
He saw a group of men in black approaching rapidly, and his heart couldn't help but sink. He hurriedly drew the long sword at his waist and shouted loudly for his men to fight.
However, the assassins brought by Wanyan Ningjie were the best of the best.
Their skills were agile and their moves were ruthless, and they quickly broke through Yan Zongmei's defense.
Wanyan Zongmei was in danger, but he did not give up resistance. Wielding his sword, he engaged in a fierce fight with the Assassins.
The sword light flickered, and the iron armor collided with each other with a piercing sound.
Somi struggled to fend off the Assassins' attacks, but his strength gradually depleted and his movements became sluggish.
The Assassins took the opportunity to launch an even more violent attack, attempting to kill Somi Wanyan in one fell swoop.
At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly came from a distance.
Wanyan Zongmei was secretly happy in her heart, knowing that reinforcements had arrived.
Sure enough, after a while, an elite cavalry of the Imperial City Division led by Wen Boyuan galloped over.
Dressed in armor and armed with a spear, Wen Boyuan led the elite cavalry into the battlefield. Their arrival immediately changed the tide of battle, and the Assassins were caught off guard by the elite cavalry of the Imperial City Division.
Seeing this, Wan Yan Ningjie couldn't help but be shocked in his heart.
He didn't expect that the Great Song Dynasty would send an escort team to protect Yan Zongmei, which disrupted his plan. However, he did not abandon the assassination operation.
He brandished the long sword in his hand and personally rushed towards Wanyan Zongmei, trying to kill him in one fell swoop.
Wanyan Zongmei saw Wanyan Ningjie rushing over, and her heart tightened.
He knew that this was a life-or-death situation, and he had to do everything in his power to resist it. He brandished his long sword and engaged in a fierce confrontation with Wan Yan Ningjie.
However, Wanyan Zongmei's strength is limited after all.
Under the fierce attack of Wanyan Ningjie, he gradually felt powerless.
At this moment, Wen Boyuan arrived in time to block Wan Yan Ningjie's attack.
Wanyan Zongmei took the opportunity to step aside, gasping for breath.
At this time, the battlefield has become chaotic. The Assassins fought fiercely with the elite of the Imperial City Division, and the two sides went back and forth, not giving in to each other.
Seeing this, Wan Yan Ning knotted that the assassination operation had failed. Wielding his sword, he led the Assassins in battle and retreat, trying to flee the battlefield.
However, the elite of the Imperial City Division pursued closely and chased all the way through. Wanyan Ningjie and the Assassins fought and retreated, and eventually lost their trace in a dense forest.
Wen Boyuan ordered people to search for a long time, but they could not find their traces, so he had to return to Kaifeng City to resume his life.
Wanyan Zongmei looked at the escort team in the distance, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in her heart.
