Chapter 469: Where is the human heart?
A rumble of drums suddenly sounded on the city wall, and even Young Master Liu was startled.
It was really a little too caught off guard.
The defenders of the city were like this, not to mention the rebels outside the city, who hurriedly began to form their troops.
Perhaps the Queen's previous contempt for these rebels was not conceited, but that was the truth.
The three rounds of drumming on the city wall have subsided. These rebels have not even found their commander, and they have formed a twisted formation to wait for their prince.
"What do you mean?"
The rebels were dispatching troops in full swing outside, and the four people in Wanyan Lie's royal tent said this sentence in unison.
Both looked at each other with expressions of deep caution and caution.
As expected by Liu Mingzhi, the four rebels, who seemed to be in harmony with each other, became nervous under the Queen's alienation plan. They all thought that one of the other parties had agreed to some of the Queen's proposals.
Otherwise, why had the messenger just left when war drums sounded on the city wall to signal the gathering of generals.
The human heart, this kind of thing that is invisible and intangible but does exist, who can say accurately?
"Second brother, look at the envoy who received that little girl, what kind of shameful things did you discuss?"
Wanyanchi looked at Wanyanlie nervously and asked the question in his heart. Wanyan Kemu and Jin Wutu also looked at Wanyanlie cautiously, wanting to know how Wanyanlie would answer.
Wanyan Lie's face turned red with anger: "Asshole, if I really promised something, would I still be chatting with you here? Besides, was I the only one who received the envoy of that girl? Didn't you guys meet too? By the way. Why are you questioning me alone?"
Wanyanchi and the other two looked at each other and fell silent.
Wanyan Lie looked at the three of them and became suspicious: "It's not like you agreed to some ulterior motives, and then came to this king to fight back, right?"
"How is it possible that we would break our oath? This is obviously the little girl's plan to alienate us and cause us to have civil strife. Don't be fooled."
Jin Wutu said through gritted teeth.
Jin Wutu hit the mark, and Wanyanchi and the others seemed to understand, but they had to believe it, and they couldn't believe it completely. The four of them kept their own thoughts to each other.
Wanyan Lie gently tapped the table: "In that case, how about we tell the messenger what that girl Wanyuan said?
"good."
"I agree."
"I agree too."
So the four of them told the truth or lies what the Queen's messenger brought. Although they were not the same, they were not far apart.
However, the thorns in the four people's hearts have arisen, so how can they be eliminated so easily? On the surface, the four of them are happy, but no one has let go of their guard.
Even more defensive.
The four of them knew each other very well that there was only one throne, and who would sit on that chair would depend on their ability. Any bullshit discussion on who would sit on the throne based on merit was just an empty promise.
Once the imperial city was breached, the person sitting on the chair was still a man with a big fist. Wan Yanchi and the three looked at each other as if they had reached some agreement.
Jin Wutu's heart tightened: "You three won't gang up on me, an outsider, just because you are a member of the same clan. You must think clearly. If it weren't for your instigation, I would still be living a leisurely life on the golden beach." In these small days, if the three of you dare to cross the river and demolish the bridge, don’t blame Jin Wutu for turning his back on you."
"King Jinsha is joking. The four of us brothers have been playing together since childhood, and we are the most capable men under the late emperor. How could we possibly commit fratricide?"
Wanyan Lie looked at Jin Wu and said with a smile that was full of hypocrisy.
"Second brother is right. Don't worry, King Jinsha. We brothers are sworn allies. We will never turn against each other until we conquer the capital."
Wanyan Kemu slapped the table: "Not only does this little girl not repent, she surrenders voluntarily, but she dares to drive a wedge between our brothers. She is simply asking for death. Since the war drums are already ringing in the capital, our army must be ready. As for defensive preparations, since it is no longer necessary to delay, it is better to attack in one fell swoop and capture the capital."
"Sixth brother's words make sense. Since the soldiers are already prepared, it seems that the little girl is ready to fight to the end. In this case, let's just attack the city directly because of the kindness of the Wanyan family."
"agree."
"I agree."
The four of them each thoughtfully agreed to the proposal to attack the city. The next step was how to send out troops.
"Your Majesty, the Turkic generals Spisi and Tai seek an audience."
Wanyan Lie was startled: "This guy doesn't set up camp properly, so why should he come to see me?"
"Second brother, you won't have reached any agreement with this guy Hetai, right?"
"Fart, why do you doubt everything about me?"
"You'll know if you call him in. The four of us brothers are 'working together' so they can't hide it from the three of us."
Wanyanlie looked at the few people angrily. Their peaceful coexistence was ruined by the Queen's envoy.
After all, it was the grandson who was so sinister and came up with such a trick. He should be exterminated.
Young Master Liu who was on the city wall sneezed several times, cursing that thing that had no descendants and scolding this young master.
"Call in."
Not long after the soldiers left, a middle-aged Turkic man spoke dissatisfiedly in a weird Jin dialect: "Several kings of the Jin Kingdom have already beaten drums on the city wall to declare war. Why haven't you sent troops yet?"
Spieth and Tai's words made everyone breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed that it was not what they had guessed.
"General Hetai, I and my three brothers are discussing the matter of sending troops to attack the city."
Hetai yawned and looked at the four of them: "I hope you will fight quickly so that I can get one hundred thousand taels of gold and rush back to the Prairie Royal Court."
"General Hetai, please rest assured. As long as your war horses hold back the reinforcements from southern Xinjiang, one hundred thousand taels of gold is nothing more than a trivial matter."
Hetai held the scimitar in his hand: "I hope you will keep your word, otherwise the anger of the children of this general's 50,000 cavalry will not be so easy to calm down."
"Bah, what the hell, a bunch of wolf cubs who have breasts are their mothers, they really think of themselves as characters."
"Yes, asking them to support the reinforcements in southern Xinjiang is just a temporary measure. Do you really think of yourself as a god who saves mortals?"
"How can a god be so greedy? One hundred thousand taels of gold is not a small amount."
"Okay, stop complaining and let's discuss how to attack the city."
"Second brother, the four of them and the King of Sands have the largest army. If we don't let them attack the city, we will definitely be able to capture them."
"No, my vanguard force has lost 10,000 people. It's your turn, Wanyan Lie and Wanyan Kemu, to take the lead."
Chatter came from the rebel king's tent.
On the city wall, the queen with her telescope folded moved lightly down the city tower.
Liu Mingzhi, you hide it so well. You took so much trouble to forge a non-existent willow tree. It's a pity that you made a friend you shouldn't have made. Your hands were placed on me...right under my nose. I know better than Hu Yanyu whether there is a birthmark.
"Master Liu, it's done, how can I thank you?"
The Queen walked up to Young Master Liu and spoke softly in a tone that made people's hair stand on end.
