"Don't worry, I'm fine, just flip it like this."
Although the minor official was still somewhat worried, he had no choice but to comply since Zhao Yuan had made the request.
After relaying Zhao Yuan's words to the Jin people in Jurchen,
The minor official quickly hid to the side.
really,
The gazes of a dozen or so golden figures lingered above and below the arena.
Instantly, everyone's eyes were fixed on Zhao Yuan.
"Was it your brother who killed my companion, Boshuru?"
A Jurchen man with a long sword at his waist spoke menacingly in broken Chinese.
"That's right,"
Zhao Yuan nodded expressionlessly.
Upon hearing this, the golden man immediately roared at his companion wielding the iron hammer on the arena.
Even if Zhao Yuan couldn't understand Jurchen, he could still guess what it was.
This guy must have ordered his comrades to kill him immediately!
Because the golden man wielding the iron hammer, upon hearing the roar...
Immediately, 190 brandished his hammer and charged towards Zhao Yuan!
The dozen or so golden figures surrounding the arena roared in unison, seemingly cheering on their companion.
However, most of the Song civilians watching the battle showed reluctance on their faces.
Many of the more timid ones simply lowered their heads or closed their eyes.
The reason for this is,
It's because they couldn't bear to see Zhao Yuan's brains splattered everywhere!
One was unarmed, the other wielded a hammer.
The outcome of this contest was already anticipated by everyone!
Both on and off stage, it's fair to say that people had confidence in Zhao Yuan.
Only Jiao Ting!
As the commander of the guards of the Liangshan chieftain, Jiao Ting had the clearest understanding of Zhao Yuan's martial arts skills!
So many capable leaders on Liangshan were no match for Brother Zhao, let alone a mere Jurchen warrior!
Just as Jiao Ting was thinking this,
On the arena, in the blink of an eye...
A winner and a loser were decided.
The golden man wielding the iron hammer rushed to Zhao Yuan's side.
He had just raised the hammer, ready to smash it down on Zhao Yuan's head.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Yuan showed no fear whatsoever.
Instead of retreating, they took a step forward.
He hooked his ankle sharply at the heel of the Jin man!
The golden man immediately lost his balance and was about to fall forward!
But this fellow truly lived up to his reputation as a warrior of the Jin tribe.
Seeing that he was losing his balance,
Despite all this, he still swung the hammer at Zhao Yuan!
This iron hammer weighs at least three or four pounds; if it hits you, it's a serious weapon.
Even if it's not a vital area, I'm afraid it'll still result in broken bones and tendons!
Zhao Yuan did not flinch at all, but directly reached out and grabbed the Jin man's wrist.
Twist it hard!
Zhao Yuan's strength was even greater than that of Lu Zhishen, who uprooted the willow tree.
He twisted the golden man's wrist.
In excruciating pain, the hammer immediately came crashing down!
Before it even hit the ground, it was firmly caught in a hand!
"Pfft!"
The Jin soldier fell to the ground, and was about to get up and fight again.
Suddenly, his companions around him cried out in surprise.
Before he could react, he felt a sharp pain in the back of his head.
Then everything went black, and there was no more movement.
Zhao Yuan glanced at the iron hammer with some disdain at the bloodstains on it.
The area around the arena was completely silent.
Neither the Jurchens nor the Song people expected this.
In the blink of an eye, the golden man wielding the iron hammer died at Zhao Yuan's hands!
After a while,
The Song people present immediately erupted in thunderous cheers!
The golden figures, however, were clearly somewhat panicked.
They looked at each other for a while, and finally focused their attention on the golden man who had just asked Zhao Yuan about his identity!
The Jurchen man with a long sword at his waist is named Wanyan Zongwang, the second son of Wanyan Aguda, the leader of the Jurchen tribe.
However, apart from the golden statues present, no one else knew his identity.
These were Cai Jing and Tong Guan, who were responsible for negotiating the alliance with the Jin dynasty during the Song dynasty.
It's unbelievable that such an important figure would be hiding his identity among the Jurchen envoys.
Wanyan Zongwang was known for his ambition.
Today, most of the Jurchen tribes have only one primary goal: to overthrow the Liao Dynasty and establish their own Jurchen state.
But Wanyan Zongwang's gaze had already shifted from the Liao Dynasty in the north to the Song Dynasty in the south!
The current emperor of the Liao Dynasty is incompetent, officials are corrupt, and the people are living in misery.
In Wanyan Zongwang's view,
Compared to the Liao Dynasty, which was like a setting sun,
The golden statues, like the rising sun, are slowly rising from the horizon!
Speaking of radiance,
How can the afterglow of the setting sun compare to the rising sun!
In Wanyan Zongwang's eyes,
The Liao people were destined to be defeated by the Jin people sooner or later.
The Song people were the ones the Jin people should have conquered!
The Song territory was populous and wealthy.
Compared to the bitterly cold Liaodong, it was like paradise!
Wanyan Zongwang concealed his identity this time, hiding among the envoys as he came to the Song Dynasty.
Firstly, it was to form an alliance with the Song Dynasty to attack the Liao Dynasty.
Secondly, they also wanted to find out the true strength of the Song people!
But the result filled him with ecstatic joy!
In less than a month,
Wanyan Zongwang had completely seen through the true nature of the Song court.
Like Emperor Tianzuo, the emperors of the Song Dynasty were mediocre and incompetent.
Just like the Liao Dynasty, the court officials of the Song Dynasty were rife with corruption.
However, the common people and soldiers of the Song Dynasty were not even as good as those of the Liao Dynasty.
If we are talking about the Liao people who have died today,
Like a toothless old man who has lost his teeth, he has acquired a fierce tiger.
The Song people and soldiers were all a flock of weak sheep.
Wanyan Zongwang had already made up his mind.
After the mission returned to Liaodong,
He then privately advised the tribal chief of the Jin people.
That is, his father, Wanyan Aguda, instructed him to make the Song territory the next hunting target for the Jin people after the Liao dynasty.
Historically,
It was also this Wanyan Zongwang,
About ten years later, they first attacked the Liao Dynasty, and then the Song Dynasty.
Two attacks on the Song Dynasty,
He not only destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty,
They also captured two Song Dynasty emperors, Emperor Huizong and Emperor Qinzong.
They brought them, along with more than 3,000 members of the royal family, including concubines, princes, members of the imperial clan, and nobles, back to the Jin Dynasty.
Other than that,
Wanyan Zongwang led his troops to plunder Bianliang, leaving it completely empty.
The Jurchens wantonly burned, killed, looted, and raped women in the capital of the Song Dynasty, turning Bianliang, a city that had been prosperous for over a hundred years, into ruins.
It can be said that Wanyan Zongwang was the mastermind behind the humiliation of the Jingkang Incident in the Northern Song Dynasty!
Chapter 280 Chen Liqing's Assistance
This trip to Song territory to forge an alliance with the Song Dynasty has been fraught with difficulties.
What Wanyan Zongwang found most unacceptable was...
Or perhaps it was the death of his companion, Boshuru!
The Jin people were already a small population, and those selected to guard the delegation were...
They are all warriors selected from thousands!
If Boshulu died on the battlefield, then he died a worthy death!
But Boshulu died on the arena, killed by a Song person whom Wanyan Zongwang looked down upon!
Originally, out of consideration for forming an alliance with the Song people,
Wanyan Zongwang only wanted to wait for the Song people to hand over the murderer before settling the matter.
Unexpectedly, the Song court was utterly incompetent.
It's been over ten days, and there's still not a single trace of the murderer.
The other golden warriors in the delegation were all indignant and dissatisfied with this.
To appease everyone, Wanyan Zongwang reopened the arena!
Originally, he wanted to force the dark-faced man who killed Boshulu to reappear!
