Wu Guangping was surprised that Su Diya, in such a sorry state, could still remain calm and composed in front of him, saying in a low voice, "The princess is living quite happily here."
His tone was indifferent, but the sarcasm was instantly palpable.
Upon hearing this, Sudiya's expression changed drastically, but she dared not make the first move.
She still has lingering poison in her body, and she doesn't know what strange poison Ye Lin used on her that even witchcraft can't cure it.
Thinking of this, she regretted not having silenced Ye Lin sooner.
Wu Guangping slowly drew his sword without saying a word, and Su Diya knew that only one person could leave this room alive today.
So she quickly threw off the quilt, took out the long whip hidden under the quilt, and used all her strength to wield the whip and attack Wu Guangping.
"Overestimating yourself!"
Wu Guangping snorted coldly and flicked his whip with his sword.
The long whip and the long sword collided with a deafening roar.
The sounds of crackling and popping kept coming from the side room. The madam hid behind the pimp. Both the front and back yards were surrounded. Even if she wanted to escape, she had nowhere to run.
The sounds of porcelain shattering, door frames banging, and heavy objects collapsing kept coming from the side room.
The madam's heart was bleeding, heartbroken over what she had lost, while she trembled with fear, terrified that she too would perish there.
The commotion inside the room ceased, and a man dressed in black and shorts emerged from the room, followed by a group of armed servants.
The man in the lead was covered in blood, and his face was filled with a fierce look, like a demon who had just crawled out of hell.
Seeing this, the men and women in the hall dared not even breathe. Even the musicians playing the zither held their instruments tightly, not daring to move for fear of attracting attention and becoming victims of the knife.
Fortunately, the group didn't linger and rushed out the door.
Seeing that all the men with knives had left, the madam ordered her pimp to go upstairs and check the situation.
The male customers in the brothel, upon hearing the madam's shouts, seemed to wake from a dream and filed out, running for their lives as if fleeing the brothel.
No sooner had Wu Guangping led his men away than the Shadow Guards arrived at the brothel.
Rather than saying they rushed to the brothel, it would be more accurate to say they followed in Wu Guangping's footsteps all the way to the brothel.
The madam saw another group of people arrive and inwardly groaned, but she dared not say or do anything, so she could only find a room next door and hide there.
As soon as An entered the room where the fighting had started, he saw a scene of utter chaos.
Bloodstains were splattered on the walls, door frames, and floor.
The screen was overturned, a deep whip mark remained on the table, and the round stool was broken into several pieces. It was easy to see that this room had experienced a fierce fight.
As soon as An entered the inner room, he saw a woman lying peacefully on the bed.
If it weren't for the bloody hole in her chest and her wide-open eyes, it would be hard to believe that she had already died.
The Shadow Guard walked to An Yi's side and whispered, "I didn't expect General Wu to let Su Diya die so gracefully."
An Yi didn't say much, ordered his men to dispose of Sudiya's body, and then went back to report.
The main camp, the commander's tent.
The news of Sudia's death brought back by An Yi was definitely something to celebrate for Song Yanqing and Lu Qiqi.
Lu Qiqi said, "Things will be much easier once Sudiya is dead."
The Shadow Guards discovered that Ajitai, Sudiya's older brother, had learned that Sudiya was trapped in the border city, and thus instigated the Tatar king to attack the Great Jin.
Now that Sudiya is dead, the Shadow Guards have also wiped out all the Tatar spies in the border town.
As long as the message cannot be passed out, Wu Guangping is useless, no matter how capable he is.
After a moment of contemplation, Song Yanqing said, "An Yi, go and tell General Qin to get ready."
An Yi accepted the order and replied, "Yes!"
......
Wu Mansion.
Wu Guangping stabbed Su Diya to death, leaving her body behind to tell Song Yanqing that he had killed her.
With the suspicion cleared, Song Yanqing had no reason to confine himself to his residence and remain immobile.
With the agreed time drawing ever closer, Wu Guangping feared that something might go wrong, causing the Tatars to fail in their attack on the Great Jin and shattering his dream of becoming a vassal king.
He changed his clothes and swaggered back to Dongying.
Back in Dongying, Wu Guangping continued as before, except that Ye Lin was no longer by his side to do things for him.
However, he soon received unexpected news.
When he climbed the Dongying city tower again, the firelight around him flickered, and he saw shadowy figures.
He stood on the city gate for a long time, thinking it over and over, and finally came to one conclusion.
That means the plan has been moved up.
He didn't know why the plan was brought forward, but it was a good thing for him.
Song Yanqing has now sent people to keep an eye on his whereabouts, and given enough time, they will eventually find something out.
Instead, we should cooperate with the Tatars from within and without to change the dynasty.
With this in mind, he sent a message out of the pass, so that Ajitai would arrive as promised.
It was the dead of night, and all was quiet.
Wu Guangping led a group of men to the city wall. When they saw several torches lit on the distant grassland, they knew that success or failure would depend on this night.
As the torches drew closer to the border town, Wu Guangping made a decisive move, leading a group of men down from the city wall and to the gate of the East Camp.
Just a door separates the 30,000-strong army stationed in the Great Jin military camp from the boundless grasslands.
Once this gate is opened, the Great Jin Dynasty will be overthrown and replaced by a new dynasty after tonight.
Wu Guangping had been looking forward to this day for a long time. A year ago, Tadar attacked Da Jin, but did not point his sword directly at the new capital.
It was because the Tatar king was short-sighted and only thought about immediate gains.
They looted gold and silver treasures in the border town, then stopped and even forced Tadar to withdraw his troops.
If Tadar hadn't been in a position of power yet, he would probably have already ascended to the throne and become king.
All his efforts to stab General Feng in the back were for nothing!
This actually benefited Qin Shiyu, who became a gatekeeper general.
Thinking this, Wu Guangping ordered, "Open the city gates!"
