But how can a woman who is so frightened move flexibly?

Digunai immediately stepped forward and stabbed the man's chest with his knife from the back, but he was too lazy to chop more. He rested for a while before drawing his knife to chop off the man's head. Then he tied the two heads together, returned to the middle courtyard, and placed them next to his father's ear.

The others were fine. Xi Yin looked at it and immediately urged: "So, is it possible to get back on track?"

This time no one said anything.

Since the so-called Qin Xianggong and his wife have betrayed their country and nation and relied on the Jurchens for everything, they are now nothing more than a bargaining chip for a crazy Jurchen noble to vent their anger.

Who cares about them?

They themselves don't care.

Back to the present, since Qin Hui and his wife were killed for no reason, Xi Yin did not deliberately come to prove the body of Hela, but just found a Khitan man, asked him to see Yelu Ma Wu, and asked him to return the Sixth Prince Eluguan and scold him... Everyone knew that this was because of Yelu Ma Wu's loyalty and bravery for many years, so he was asked to stay away for a while and not really chase them, which would then cause such embarrassment to Qin Hui and his wife.

Then, the only remaining husband acted as if nothing had happened. He gathered his troops, assembled the team, and desperately urged the exiled team to cross the river to the north and then turn east.

Of course, he had to make an agreement with everyone to arrive at Huanglongfu to discuss the matter of the new emperor and seek peace with the south.

After twelve days, the exiled court of the Jin Dynasty finally crossed the wasteland north of the Huangshui River in the midsummer of May and arrived at Huanglongfu (now Nong'an area), the heartland of the Jin Dynasty.

At this time, the size of the exile team was only one-tenth of what it was when they left Yanjing.

However, there was another thing that made some of them feel even more uneasy. That was that as soon as the team arrived in Huanglong, Wanyan Wulu, the fourteen-year-old son of the deceased Third Prince Erlido, led the remaining people of the Wanyan tribe to greet them.

Moreover, after Erlido's death, his wife was a devout Buddhist and did not want to remarry according to the Jurchen customs, so she returned to Liaoyang to become a nun. Wanyan Wulu also returned to Liaoyang... Now the Song and Goryeo troops have arrived together. Liaoyang, as the capital of Liaodong, has no chance of survival. As a member of the Wanyan family with the most noble status outside the Great Wall, it is normal for him to lead the people back to Huanglongfu to meet Xi Yin and his party.

But, aren’t Wanyan Ouben and Wanyan Hela dead?

Wasn’t it agreed that the new ruler would be decided at Huanglong Mansion?

Wanyan Wulu's well-rested, strong and timely appearance made Wanyan Digunai, whose power was greatly reduced after his father's death, and the Hesheli clan, who had already made preparations, feel uneasy.

This anxiety soon reached its peak because there was evidence that Wulu's appearance here, including his timely return to the north with the Jurchen tribes in the southern part of the Great Wall, was due to direct orders from Xi Yin.

But no matter how uneasy they were, no one dared to resist.

This is because Xi Yin himself is recognized as the wisest man of the founding of the Jurchens. He has all kinds of qualifications and prestige, and is the person with the highest rank at the moment... He is the only prime minister... and a distant branch of the Wanyan clan. Now that he has returned to Huanglongfu, where the Wanyan clan has great influence, almost no one can resist him.

Apart from anything else, Wanyan Loushi's second son, Wanyan Mouyan, the hereditary Meng'an of Huanglongfu, stood on Xi Yin's side without hesitation.

It was even because Wanyan Loushi entrusted Mou Yan to Xi Yin that he was able to inherit the hereditary Meng'an of Huanglongfu.

Therefore, when they arrived at Huanglongfu in the afternoon, they had no time to greet each other or even to ask about the situation on the front line. Following Wanyan Xiyin's order, the Jurchen nobles outside the Great Wall and the remaining Jurchen nobles in Yanjing gathered together.

"I have a few words to say."

Wanyan Xiyin didn't even change his clothes, and stood in the middle of the hall of the Huanglongfu Military Command with a stench of sweat all over his body. Wanyan Mouyan stood behind him like a guard.

The rest of the people, whether they were close or distant relatives of the Wanyan clan, such as Talai, Yin Shuke, Pu Jianu, or leaders of other Jurchen tribes, such as Hesheli, Peiman, Pucha, Wulinda, Tushan, Shima, etc., or direct military generals such as Elubu, Pucha Huzhan, and Jiagu Wulibu who actually survived, could only sit and listen.

"Three things."

Wanyan Xiyin was brief and to the point. "First of all... is there any objection to negotiating peace with Song?"

It’s not that there were no small tribal leaders outside the Great Wall who were ready to make a move, but in the end no one said a word… The peace talks were decided by the Battle of Huolu, and as long as Emperor Zhao left a door open, this would be the only way.

The rebellion in Yanjing and the rebellion in Huangshui were inevitable.

Now that the eldest prince is dead and the king is also dead, there is no need to worry about peace talks...peace talks have long been a consensus.

"Well, then, let's negotiate peace." Xi Yin nodded. "The second thing is actually connected to the peace negotiation... The king died on the road, killed by the Khitans, so we have to elect a new king... Who has any ideas about electing a new king?"

"The new king should marry my daughter." This was not a surprising statement made by the father of the young Queen Pei Man.

"Okay." Xi Yin stood there calmly. "Anything else?"

"My father is Taizu's eldest son, and I am his eldest surviving son. It is the right time for me to succeed to the throne." Wanyan Digunai knew that the critical moment had come, and he stood up without hesitation.

"Not bad." Xi Yin nodded in response. "Are there any other suitable candidates?"

"How about Wulu?" Wulinda Zanmo pointed out a candidate who was no less qualified. "Although Digunai is a descendant of Taizu's eldest son...but Wulu's family background is not bad, and he often lives outside the Great Wall, so he is more familiar with the local situation than Digunai."
