Lin'an Never Night

Chapter 484 Seven Directives

Shangguan Mingyue flew to the window, exerted force with her feet, and tried to use her shoulder to knock the window open and rush into the room.

At this moment, a huge roar suddenly came from the shadow of the corridor under the main house.

A dog suddenly jumped out.

It arched its back, dragged its tail, and called out loudly to Shangguan Mingyue.

This dog is not a rare breed, it is just a yellow local dog.

The dog was not very big, less than one meter long.

However, it has a big trumpet-like throat, and its cry is so loud that it hurts people's eardrums.

A dog's hearing is four times that of a human's, but Shangguan Mingyue's agility in climbing walls and running on rooftops is ten times that of an average person.

However, a dog's sense of smell is thousands of times stronger than that of a human.

At this moment, Shangguan Mingyue not only smelled of blood, but also of healing medicine.

When she was lying on the roof, the evening breeze blew her scent away directly from the height, and the local dog sleeping under the porch did not smell it.

But as soon as she landed, the dog noticed her.

It even sniffed hard before jumping out and taking on the responsibility of a watchdog.

"Damn it!"

Shangguan Mingyue was startled by the sudden barking sound.

The dog's barking must have alarmed Wanyan Hongkang in the room.

Should I take the risk and rush in or retreat immediately?
This thought flashed through Shangguan Mingyue's mind, and her movements paused for a moment.

Then, she wouldn't have to make any more choices.

The window frame broke with a bang, and a heavy wooden block flew out, carrying with it sawdust.

Shangguan Mingyue raised her arms to cover her eyes and stepped back.

A figure then jumped out of the window.

While in the air, Yang Yuan saw a person in the yard.

As soon as he landed on the ground, he tiptoed towards the man.

The moment before the local dog barked, Yang Yuan had actually noticed someone outside the window.

He did not rely on his sense of smell or hearing, but a keen intuition that was formed after practicing the Zhelong technique, which enabled his six senses to be generally superior to those of ordinary people.

He could sense someone outside the window, not because of Shangguan Mingyue's voice or smell, but because of her murderous aura.

This may sound a bit mysterious, but when you are concentrating on something, there is someone quietly watching you from behind you, and sometimes you will suddenly feel a sense of connection.

When you suddenly turn around, you can immediately meet his eyes accurately.

This was how Yang Yuan felt when he sensed someone outside the window.

Then, Yang Yuan put his big hands on the two delicate heads and immediately pushed them down along their shoulders, then jumped up and rolled off the bed.

His feet landed lightly and silently.

Immediately, he stretched out his arm and grasped the handle of a flat-headed machete on the wall.

Then, the deafening barking of the local dog came in.

"Oh no!" Yang Yuan immediately realized that the visitor had been alarmed.

Originally he wanted to sit back and wait for the man to rush in.

At this moment, Yang Yuan acted decisively, immediately threw a round wooden block in front of the dressing table, and then jumped out.

"Zhengzhengzheng~"

Shangguan Mingyue held the straight knife she had taken from Li You's mansion in both hands and fought with Yang Yuan for several times.

The two knives collided, sparks flying everywhere.

Shangguan Mingyue took three steps back and turned around and left.

She had fought with the young prince before and knew that she would have no chance of success if she had already alerted the other party.

What's more, this bastard little prince was naked and open-minded at this time.

Although Shangguan Mingyue's mind was blinded by hatred, she still found it hard to accept.

One step, two steps, three steps, similar to "The swallow skims the water three times", after three steps, she was already flying into the air.

It didn't leap into the air in an arc, but instead took steps forward, as if stepping on an invisible staircase, and "walked" up the wall at a 45-degree angle.

Yang Yuan raised his sword and started chasing after him.

Shangguan Mingyue was as light as a swallow and flew quickly through the Prince of Yue's palace.

Yang Yuan refused to give in and kept chasing after him.

Under the eaves, there is the sound of wind chimes.

Ding ding dong, ding ...

……

In the back courtyard of the palace, lights lit up one after another.

Soon, someone in small clothes rushed out with a knife.

Afterwards, Princess Li, the fourth aunt, the sixth uncle and others all came out after hearing the news.

Yingge and A'man came out even later than them.

After all, they need to rinse their mouths before putting on their clothes.

Yang Yuan chased Shangguan Mingyue out of the palace, and when he reached a bush on the left, he suddenly stopped.

Yang Yuan helplessly watched the slender figure quickly disappear into the forest, and looked down at his own body.

There were branches with thorns in the bush, and some were shaking violently because an assassin had passed by.

If Yang Yuan broke in at this time, he would probably suffer some unspeakable injuries.

"Who is it, stop!"

A patrolling group of soldiers rushed over upon hearing the news, some holding spears, some pulling hunting bows, and some holding torches.

"It's me, one of us."

Yang Yuan threw the knife to the ground in front of them, and with a "snap" sound, it went half a foot into the ground.

Then he walked over.

Just like the scene where the liquid metal robot T1000, played by Robert Patrick, just traveled through.

The two soldiers held up torches and shone them forward, then looked at Yang Yuan in surprise.

They slowly backed away in awe, making way to the left and right, and lowered the torches in their hands to shine on their...little prince!

Looking at Yang Yuan's muscular body under the firelight, all the Jin soldiers were stunned for a moment.

Yang Yuan suddenly stopped in front of a soldier of similar height to him, smiled at him, and said gently: "I need your clothes and shoes."

……

There is chaos on Huanxi Ridge tonight.

Soon, teams of soldiers began searching.

The lights of the houses on the hills and mountains lit up one after another.

As the voices grew louder, the dogs and geese in the town joined in the chorus.

Li You was pushed awake by someone.

He sleeps so soundly that he can't even hear the thunder.

Li You was pushed awake in a daze. When he heard that someone had sneaked into Huanxi Ridge with the intention of assassinating the prince, he jumped up quickly, drew his sword and followed the man out.

In the wing room, Forlana opened the door and timidly called out, "Master?"

Li You waved his hand and said, "Go back, it's none of your business, don't come out!"

Yang Yuan actually didn't have much hope of finding the assassin.

With the assassin's skills, he should have fled far away by now.

Even if she had not escaped, ordinary soldiers would not be able to stop her in this complex terrain with houses, streets, walls, firewood piles, and jungle bushes.

With the faint moonlight, Yang Yuan could tell that she was a woman, and therefore guessed her approximate identity.

After returning to the palace, Yang Yuan briefly explained to Li Taigong and others how he chased the assassin.

The fourth aunt then ordered the dispatch of troops to strengthen the patrol and protection of Huanxi Ridge and the Prince of Yue's Mansion.

The Sixth Uncle also asked someone to get a dozen large geese and released them in the Prince of Yue's mansion.

This thing is better than a dog at guarding the house.

The patrolling and searching teams kept bringing back news that the assassin had indeed not been found.

Yang Yuan asked the elderly people to rest first. He told Yingge and A'man to go to sleep first, and went to the east courtyard.

At this time, his broken window had been temporarily nailed shut with wooden boards.

Yang Yuan found Shangguan Luo in the East Courtyard.

"You're saying that the assassin tonight could very well be my sister?"

Under the lamp, Shangguan Luo asked in surprise and joy.

Although my sister's body was not found under the cliff, it proves that she is still alive.

But when you are not around, it is inevitable that you will still worry about others.

Now that he finally knew the news about her, Shangguan Luo was very happy.

Yang Yuan nodded and said, "It's almost certain. Judging from her figure, she is a woman. I have only seen one woman with such good skills in the Kingdom of Jin."

"Great!"

Shangguan Luo clasped his fists together and paced excitedly, "I knew that my sister would be blessed by good fortune."

He walked around happily for a few times, then suddenly stopped and said to Yang Yuan apologetically, "Although my sister didn't hurt the young prince, it's just... I hope the young prince will forgive me."

Yang Yuan shook his head thoughtfully: "It doesn't matter. No matter who it is, it's not that easy to sneak attack me. I'm just thinking...

Wanyan Yuanyun is already dead, which means that even if your sister kills me, she can't put a dead Wanyan Yuanyun on the throne of Dubojilie. Why would she take the risk of killing me?"

Shangguan Luo smiled bitterly and said, "Little Prince, you don't know that my sister...is deeply in love with Wanyan Yong, and she has always wanted to become Princess Ge."

Yang Yuan originally thought that the Shangguan siblings only joined Wanyan Yong for personal achievements and to glorify the Shangguan family.

Now after listening to Shangguan Luo's explanation, I finally understood.

Shangguan Luo said: "The King of Yue is resisting the imperial court's army in Dading Prefecture. If he is allowed to become the leader of the alliance, it will be a big problem for Wanyan Yong to unify the Northeast in the future.

Therefore, even if we lose Wanyan Yuanyun and cannot find a leader for our alliance, it would be better for anyone to take the position than for the King of Yue to be the leader of the alliance."

"I see."

After understanding Shangguan Mingyue's motives, Yang Yuan's doubts were resolved.

He also has a confidante who is willing to give everything for him, so she easily accepted Shangguan Luo's explanation.

Yang Yuan pondered, "Her assassination attempt tonight failed, and the security on Happy Ridge has been tightened. She probably won't attack again in the short term."

Shangguan Luo said: "I don't know where my sister is hiding, otherwise I can go and persuade her to be loyal to the young prince."

Wanyan Yong was accustomed to scheming and plotting, which Shangguan Luo disliked very much.

Wanyan Yong's wife was forced to death, but he was able to endure it until now and never got angry. He might be a hero who could accomplish great things, but Shangguan Luo still didn't like him.

The young prince in front of him was also plotting to take over the world, but the way the young prince behaved was completely different from Wanyan Yong's.

In Shangguan Luo's opinion, Wanyan Hongkang has the demeanor of a more heroic leader than Wanyan Yong.

Besides, Wanyan Hongkang was younger and more handsome than Wanyan Yong.

So he felt there was still hope of convincing his sister.

If his sister could really follow Wanyan Hongkang, this brother-in-law would be easier for him to accept than Wanyan Yong.

In this way, my sister has someone to rely on for the rest of her life.

He will also be more trusted by the young prince.

This will be good for his sister and his future.

But..., in this huge world, if my sister hides, where can I find her?

Thinking of this, Shangguan Luo couldn't help but sigh softly, feeling a little resentful towards his sister.

When you fell off the cliff, I was fighting with the young prince's men.

Did you come to see me after you escaped?

Won't you ask about my whereabouts?

You only work hard for the man you want to marry...

Yang Yuan said: "Your sister failed tonight, and she won't have the chance to take action again in the short term.

We will go to the Holy Mountain early the day after tomorrow, and she can either go with us or lurk nearby and wait patiently for our return..."

Shangguan Luo said decisively: "My sister will definitely follow me to the Holy Mountain."

He also didn't know what kind of love potion Wanyan Yong had given to his sister that made her so obsessed with him.

The elder sister has always wanted to replace Wulinda's position in Wanyan Yong's heart, so she must prove herself that she is more perfect and better than Wulinda, and more valuable to Wanyan Yong.

Although Wanyan Yuanyun is dead, it is better to let King Zhenzhu become the leader of the alliance than to let King Wanyan Luti of Yue become the leader of the alliance.

Therefore, she would definitely find a way to prevent the young prince from participating in the "Du Bojilie" conference, or destroy his chances of becoming the leader of the alliance.

Yang Yuan chuckled and said, "If she goes, I'll have to test her skills again."

Shangguan Luo said hesitantly: "My young prince, I have an unwelcome request..."

Yang Yuan understood what he meant and replied solemnly: "If it is possible, I will spare her life. But now she is the one who insists on killing me.

Swords have no eyes. If I have no choice, I hope you, Mr. Shangguan, can understand my difficulties. "

Shangguan Luo was silent for a moment, nodded gently, and let out a long sigh.

……

Today is the third day of August in the third year of Jin Zhenyuan.

It is suitable for marriage proposal, engagement, meeting relatives and friends, traveling, and trading. God of Happiness: Northeast; God of Fortune: North; God of Wealth: North.

Today is a good day for Yang Yuan who is in the north.

Everything went smoothly today, even smoother than yesterday.

Luck is just like the intuition Yang Yuan had last night. Although it is illusory, it really exists.

Just like the rise of the Jurchens.

The Jurchens founded their own nation twice, both times due to great luck, and somehow they became great events.

First, it was the Jin Kingdom, which grew slowly amid the confrontation between the two great powers of Song and Liao.

When it was first founded, it just wanted to build a small country relying on the Black Water and White Mountains.

However, the Liao Kingdom attacked with its entire nation's army, and the Jurchens were forced to fight back.

At the critical moment, a fire broke out in the Liao Kingdom's backyard, and the emperor hurried back to save the throne, resulting in the defeat of the three armies.

In a very short period of time, the Jin Dynasty seemed to have been blessed with a cheat code, annexing the huge Liao Dynasty and taking away half of the territory of the Song Dynasty.

It’s just that good fortune comes like the tide, and goes like a mountain collapses.

The process of its collapse was also extremely miserable and miserable, leaving behind no heroic deeds worthy of praise.

This was still the case during the Qing Dynasty.

They established a country, but still wanted to live in peace in a corner.

I had never thought that I would be able to rule China, but luck came to me again.

Just like the Jin Dynasty back then, it unified the world quickly as if it had been blessed with something special.

And its demise was so insignificant that it didn't even cause a ripple.

Yang Yuan's trip to the Nalanbuha tribe today went smoothly.

The pros and cons are there, and there is no choice but to be lazy.

Yang Yuan estimated that even if he had no contact with the other tribes now, he could still try to contact them privately when he arrived at the holy mountain.

He was confident that he could convince them one by one, including the Hesheli tribe which was now in a state of desperation.

……

Today's Huanxi Town and Huanxi Ridge are much stricter than before.

Population surveys are being carried out on the ridge and in the town.

Sentinels and patrolling guards can be seen everywhere.

When the old woman and the eldest sister arrived at Li You's house, they first made him breakfast and served him breakfast. Then they cleaned up the house inside and outside and there was nothing else to do.

So they called Forlana, and the three of them talked about things in the town and on the ridge while eating.

Forlana looked silent and just listened to them.

Forlana ate very slowly, as if she was afraid of disturbing the wound on her cheek.

The old woman and the eldest sister were kind-hearted. Knowing that she was in a bad mood, they deliberately made a fuss about the changes in the town and on the mountain. They also mentioned the female assassin from last night to help her ease her mood.

Forlana picked up a piece of pickled radish and chewed it quietly with brown rice porridge.

In my ears, the old woman and the eldest sister were talking vividly about the female killer of last night.

Of course, the person they talked about the most was the little prince.

The guards patrolling on the ridge last night were the royal family's trusted troops.

They had received strict orders that they must describe Master Yang as the little prince to the outside world.

According to the old woman and the eldest sister, they really believed that the person who chased the female assassin naked last night was Wanyan Hongkang.

Under the light of the torches, the young prince saw something astonishing, which had already been told by the guards.

Most people have a desire to share. Although they cannot reveal Yang Yuan's identity, this does not prevent them from exaggerating the matter.

Once a woman has been with a man, the way she speaks is even more shocking than that of a man.

What the mother-in-law and eldest sister said was very explicit.

The old woman chuckled and said, "Our little prince, when he was little, he liked to go fishing and crickets on the river beach in the town with his bare bottom.

When I was washing clothes by the river, I often saw the little prince's little bun.

Who would have thought that when he grows up, he would be so majestic, haha."

The eldest sister covered her mouth and laughed, "I heard that when the young prince was a child, he went out to play with his friends and saved a small black snake.

I guess that Liu Xian was grateful to the young prince for saving his life, so she blessed him."

The common people believe in the five great fairies of Northeast China: the fox fairy (fox), the yellow fairy (weasel), the white fairy (hedgehog), the willow fairy (snake) and the gray fairy (mouse).

Forlana just focused on eating, seemingly listening to them talking, but thinking about something in her mind.

The day after tomorrow, Wanyan Hongkang will go to the holy mountain, right?

In fact, Yang Yuan's schedule had been changed to tomorrow, but she didn't know about Yang Yuan's temporary change of schedule.

Most people in the town already knew Yang Yuan's original travel time.

Forlana thought, I failed in my assassination attempt last night, and even if I go again tonight, I will definitely not succeed.

By tomorrow night, I'm afraid the vigilance won't be relaxed so quickly. What should we do?
If he goes to the Duboji Conference, should I go with him?
If I follow him, all my efforts to sneak into Happy Ridge will be in vain.

But it doesn't matter, as long as I can kill him.

However, the Holy Mountain has convened a huge meeting, with tribes from all over the place gathering, so the security must be even stricter.

The scar on my face is too obvious. I will definitely not be able to get in if I show it openly.

Although I may not have no chance, Wanyan Hongkang has been assassinated once. After going to the Holy Mountain, the tribes may not be very friendly to him. How can he not be on guard? Do I have a chance to do it?

What if I stayed at Happy Ridge?
When Wanyan Hongkang goes to the Holy Mountain to attend the conference, the defenses on Huanxi Ridge will inevitably be relaxed.

When the time comes, I will kill his relatives one by one?
A hint of sternness suddenly flashed in Forlana's eyes: "No! I can't kill them all. I should only kill the people of the Wanyan family.

The Wanyan family is fighting for power with the Li family. If the Wanyan family members are assassinated one by one, but the Li family members are safe and sound, they will be very embarrassed in Huanxiling.

When Wanyan Hongkang returns, he and his maternal family might go to war..."

Obviously, it would be best for her to stay in Happy Ridge.

However, her hatred for Wanyan Hongkang could not be vented by transferring it to anyone else.

For a moment, she was in hesitation and struggle.

……

Wanyan Liang now lived in Yanjing, which was in the south compared to Shangjing.

Today the god of fortune is in the north, so Wanyan Liang's luck is not very good.

Early in the morning he received a piece of news that made him furious: a fire broke out in the Nanjing Palace, and all the palaces were destroyed.

The Nanjing of the Jin Dynasty was the Tokyo Bianliang during the Northern Song Dynasty.

When Wanyan Liang moved the capital to Yanjing City, he had already begun expanding the palace city in Bianliang.

Because, he planned to make the final capital of the Song Dynasty's capital, Bianliang City, during his lifetime.

Moving the capital to Yanjing is just the first step.

This step would destroy the foundations of the Jurchen tribal leaders, deprive them of their right to rule, and return all power to the emperor.

In the second step, he would lead his troops south to destroy the State of Song.

At that time, he moved the capital to Bianliang, with Nanjing and Kaifeng as the capitals, located in the center and radiating from the north to the south.

To this end, he designated Bianliang as the secondary capital of the Jin Dynasty and established Nanjing Road, which was under the jurisdiction of Kaifeng Prefecture, Guide Prefecture (Shangqiu) and Henan Prefecture (Luoyang).

Moreover, when the Yanjing Imperial Palace had just been completed and he had not yet moved there from Shangjing, construction of the Bianliang Imperial Palace had already begun on a large scale.

The Song Dynasty was the richest dynasty, but it also had the most shabby palace.

This was true in the Northern Song Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty.

It seemed that the pettiness of the Song Dynasty's imperial palace foreshadowed the difficult situation that the two Song dynasties would always face in their external affairs.

The imperial palace of the Southern Song Dynasty was built on a piece of land squeezed out of the city of Hangzhou. It was irregular and small in size.

Moreover, the Song Dynasty royal family could neither expand nor should it expand.

Because the Emperor of the Song Dynasty always designated Hangzhou as the temporary capital and never abolished the status of Bianliang as the capital.

In this case, if we lavishly expand the imperial palace, wouldn't we be laughed at by the people of the world?

As for the Northern Song Dynasty, the imperial palace of the Northern Song Dynasty was actually rebuilt on the basis of a government office. You can imagine how small its scale was.

The Imperial Palace of the Northern Song Dynasty was originally the official residence of the Jiedushi of Xuanwu Army in the late Tang Dynasty.

After Zhu Wen destroyed the Tang Dynasty, he proclaimed himself emperor in Bianliang and used this government office as his imperial palace.

Then, the Five Dynasties began.

The capitals of the Five Dynasties were also in Bianliang.

Moreover, the life of each small dynasty was very short.

With such frequent changes, each regime continued to use the previous imperial palace, and they did not have enough energy, time or financial resources to expand the palace.

In the Song Dynasty, the emperor of the Song Dynasty had money and he began to think about expanding the imperial palace.

However, Tokyo Bianliang had become a place where every inch of land was worth a lot of money, and the people were unwilling to relocate.

If the government forcibly demolishes houses, it will be branded as going against public opinion and competing with the people for profit.

The emperor of the Song Dynasty was unwilling to bear such a moral cost.

Therefore, the idea of ​​expanding the palace was shelved.

But this set of rhetoric is of no use to Wanyan Liang.

I have no morals, so you can't defeat me with morals.

Before Wanyan Liang moved to Yanjing City, he directly issued an edict to force planning, design, demolition, and expansion of the imperial palace in Kaifeng.

As a result, the imperial palace in Kaifeng, Nanjing, had only been under construction for over a year, and the main structure had just taken shape when it was burned down by a fire.

Was it due to carelessness in keeping the fire on the construction site or was it done intentionally?

It is difficult to judge this matter now.

However, according to Wanyan Liang's understanding, fire prevention has always been the top priority for such a large project.

Those flammable materials will not be piled next to the already built palaces.

Moreover, soldiers patrolled the already built palaces at night.

If there hadn't been arson, how could a fire suddenly break out that couldn't be put out in time, burning all those palaces to the ground?
I'm afraid that this matter was caused by arson.

Moreover, some local officials in Kaifeng must have been involved.

Once he realized this, Wanyan Liang felt a chill in his heart. He felt that the situation was beginning to get out of control.

At the beginning, he did not take Wanyan Luti and Wanyan Dari seriously.

In his opinion, all the dignitaries in the capital were just a bunch of clowns who could never achieve anything.

But now it seems that Wanyan Luti and Wanyan Dari are still not a big concern, but the fact that they have successfully established a foothold in Liaodong has inspired more rebels and given them the courage to fight against them.

Wanyan Liang, who has always loved women, did not call any beauty to accompany him today.

He looked at the huge map of the Jin Kingdom alone, pondered for a long time, and then issued an order.

The first decree stated that since the Song Dynasty envoys were abducted to Huining Prefecture by rebels, the originally planned peace talks could not be held.

Therefore, the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty took the initiative to send an envoy to Lin'an to negotiate and sign a new peace treaty with the Song Dynasty on the basis of the "Shaoxing Peace Agreement".

The "Shaoxing Peace Treaty" was originally signed by Emperor Zhao Gou. If it had the endorsement of the new emperor of the Song Dynasty, the peace treaty would have become more stable.

To this end, Wanyan Liang secretly gave some instructions to the envoys sent to the State of Song and explained the bottom line of concessions.

The second decree was given to Yelu Yuanyi who was attacking Xiangyang City.

Wanyan Liang originally thought that he could easily put out the rebellion in the north without recalling this trusted general.

It now seems that the threat from the north is becoming more severe and we can no longer be careless.

He decided to recall Yelu Yuanyi's army and ordered the existing Jin troops in Lianghuai to adopt a defensive stance.

This was the first time since the establishment of the Jin Dynasty that it switched from offense to defense when facing the Song Dynasty.

The third decree was to have the Ministry of Revenue allocate money and grain, concentrate merchant ships for transportation, and transport them to the Yalu River via the sea route and hand them over to Zhao Yijia, the confidant who controlled the area.

The fourth decree appointed Wanyan Yong as the Liaodong Army Commander-in-Chief, commanding all loyal armed forces in Liaodong to eliminate the rebels as soon as possible.

At the critical moment, Wanyan Yong could join forces with Zhao Yijia to abandon Jiuliancheng and even Dongjing Liaoyang City, concentrate all their efforts and attack Dading Prefecture from the flank.

As long as they can capture Dading Prefecture and open a route for the imperial army to march north to quell the rebellion, the threat from the north will no longer be a concern.

Afterwards, Wanyan Liang personally wrote a secret decree to Zhao Yijia, asking Zhao Yijia to urge Wanyan Yong to go to war.

If Wanyan Yong continues to evade the battle, he will be decisively killed and replaced.

When Wanyan Yong surrendered, Zhao Yijia was immediately promoted to the commander-in-chief of Liaodong and Shangjing, and was in charge of suppressing the rebellion in the north.

The sixth decree was to transfer the Lianghuai warships to Shandong.

If the land route is not open, or if Wanyan Yong pretends to obey but actually disobeys, and Zhao Yijia cannot find an opportunity to kill Wanyan Yong.

Then they would have to use warships to transport troops to Liaodong by sea, join Zhao Yijia, use superior forces to suppress Wanyan Yong, and then attack the two rebel kings.

As for the Nanjing Fire...

Wanyan Liang gritted his teeth and sneered for a long time, but finally suppressed the murderous intent in his heart and issued the seventh decree.

At this time, he could no longer kill people at will.

In the end, Wanyan Liang only issued an order to dismiss Feng Changning, the Nanjing governor, and Zuo Ying, the transport commissioner, from their posts with 100 swords each.

Deputy governor Guo Anguo and governor judge Daliangshun were each given 80 strokes of the cane and demoted three levels.

All the soldiers responsible for patrolling the palace that night were beheaded in public.

The Jurchens were a regime that relied heavily on luck.

When luck comes, it is like a roc taking to the wind or a dragon going out to the sea. When you raise your hands, the sun rises and the moon sets.

When good fortune is gone, everything will collapse and fall apart in the blink of an eye.

Ever since Yang Yuan inexplicably appeared in this world, the fortune of the Jin Kingdom has been lost at an especially fast speed.

(End of this chapter)
