An hour later.
The carriage arrived at the city gate.
The guards on the city wall had already lined up to welcome them.
The people inside and outside the city never expected that Empress Dowager Xiao, whom they had always respected, would personally drive the carriage!
Many people were instantly enraged.
"What's wrong with our Liao Kingdom?"
"Our dignified Empress Dowager is actually driving a carriage for someone else."
"Jiang Tian, this bastard has gone too far. He killed my son, and now he wants to insult my country."
"We swear we will not be human if we do not avenge this."
"Where have all the offspring of our Khitan men gone?"
“Brothers, check your own testicles. Are they still there? Let our Empress Dowager bear this shame. Who can swallow this insult?”
"Even if it costs us our lives, we must kill Jiang Tian today."
"Yes, otherwise, the people of the Great Xia Dynasty will be able to ride roughshod over us from now on."
“We will never have a chance to get ahead.”
These Khitans had always regarded the people of the Xia Dynasty as easy prey.
They can humiliate you however they want, and slaughter you however they want.
Now.
Jiang Tian's series of actions were like breaking their spines.
These are things that no one else can tolerate.
"Brothers, Jiang Tian is quite strong, and so are the guards around him."
"We need to think of a way to achieve a decisive victory."
"We absolutely cannot engage in a real fight on the street; the chances of winning are slim."
Soon, some people in the crowd hid to the side and whispered among themselves.
Fifteen minutes later.
Murong Xingchen ran up to Murong Hanyue and said, "Jiang Tian went too far."
“These Khitan people have risen up in anger.”
"This time we must go all out," Empress Dowager Xiao said, personally leading Jiang Tian's horse and whipping him.
When you kill Jiang Tian, don't spare Empress Dowager Xiao.
Upon hearing this, Murong Hanyue said, "Our Commander Murong Chui has a close relationship with Empress Dowager Xiao. If we casually shoot and kill Empress Dowager Xiao, the Commander will definitely not spare us."
Murong Xingchen said coldly, "Our commander is surrounded by beauties, when will he ever give Empress Dowager Xiao, this middle-aged woman, a second glance?"
Our commander-in-chief was merely putting on an act with Empress Dowager Xiao.
They killed Empress Xiao.
The Khitans and the people of the Xia Dynasty thus forged a deep-seated enmity.
"And we Xianbei can reap the benefits without lifting a finger."
Murong Hanyue nodded: "Don't worry, our wolf guards are all hidden in the shadows, and they are all excellent marksmen."
"Were poisoned on the arrows and crossbow bolts?"
"They've already been fed deadly snake venom, which is lethal upon contact with blood."
They would surely die if they were hit by an arrow.
Upon hearing this, Murong Xingchen looked towards the direction of the Xianbei.
"To be on the safe side, we must strike decisively and kill the target."
"Regardless of success or failure, retreat quickly after firing the arrows."
"The commander-in-chief's mission for us is to do everything we can to kill Jiang Tian."
Only by protecting yourself can you better complete your mission.
After Murong Xingchen finished speaking, he waved his hand.
These Xianbei wolf guards quickly disappeared into the crowd.
It turns out that these were the wolf guards who were stirring up trouble and inciting the people in the city.
...
Empress Dowager Xiao's face was red from the cold while she was in the carriage.
"Lord Jiang, the carriage has arrived at the city gate."
[Ding, Murong Xingchen's rage value from the Xianbei Wolf Guard has increased by 1253]
[Ding, Murong Hanyue's rage value from the Xianbei Wolf Guard has increased by 1953]
[Ding, Murong Chong's rage value from the Xianbei Wolf Guard has increased by 953]
[Ding, from the Xianbei Wolf Guard...]
The system notification sounded continuously, and Jiang Tian heard the system notification for the Xianbei Wolf Guard for the first time.
"Your Majesty," Empress Dowager Xiao jumped down from the carriage and walked respectfully to the window, "Your Majesty, shall I continue to drive for you, or..."
"Come up here. Have Huo Qubing lead his cavalry to protect both sides of the carriage, and have your men drive it."
Empress Dowager Xiao was shivering from the cold.
However, the woman was still somewhat uncomfortable sitting in the same carriage as Jiang Tian.
Huo Qubing rode over on his horse.
"Huo Qubing, open your eyes wide. There are Xianbei wolf guards nearby. They are plotting something and could very well be a threat to me."
Empress Xiao was quite surprised when she heard the words "Xianbei Wolf Guard".
Empress Xiao was in charge of the Liao Dynasty, and she was not unfamiliar with the term "Xianbei Wolf Guard".
"Yes..." Huo Qubing quickly cupped his hands and said.
"Heavy cavalry protected the flanks of the main attack wagon."
"Light cavalry shall be on guard duty. Whether on rooftops or in the crowds of the streets, anyone who plots against our lord shall be shot dead."
"promise……"
Empress Dowager Xiao's expression changed, and she quickly shouted at the soldiers around her: "Khitan warriors, clear the streets and let all the people go home immediately, or you will be killed without mercy."
Send men to inspect every corner along the way, whether on rooftops or behind windows, and nail it shut for me.”
"Khitan warriors, you must be on guard every five steps and sentry every ten steps. I do not wish for anyone to pose the slightest threat to me or Lord Jiang."
Empress Dowager Xiao keenly sensed that the Khitan Wolf Guards were not only targeting Jiang Tian, but also very likely to target her as well.
With a command given.
The 5,000 Imperial Guards sprang into action, rushing into the city through the gates and shouting along the streets, “Listen up, all you people, hurry home! There are assassins among you!”
