Another counselor said:
"Your Majesty, at the same time, let's do it once and for all. Send someone to intercept and kill him! Since His Majesty cannot return to the capital, you can ascend the throne naturally."
King Jin closed his eyes and thought for a long time before saying:
"Go and invite the couple "Sword Masters". They owe me a favor. With their skills, the chances of winning will increase a little." Everyone nodded.
The people sent by King Jin to invite the "Sword-controlling Twins" couple set off quickly.
At the same time, the Emperor of Song was not idle either. The scouting personnel he secretly arranged disguised themselves and rushed back to the capital at full speed.
The confidant of the King of Jin brought a generous gift to find the "Sword-controlling Twins" couple and explained their purpose. Although the couple were highly skilled in martial arts, they also knew that this matter was of great importance.
After much hesitation, they finally decided to take on the task of killing Emperor Song in order to repay the favor of Prince Jin.
In his tent, the Song Emperor continuously received the latest news about the situation in the capital, and his worries grew stronger. While awaiting the report from the scouts, he also strengthened his own guard, in case the Prince of Jin became desperate.
Although the Emperor of Song was heavily protected by the Imperial Guards and the Embroidered Uniform Guards, he was ultimately unable to escape and was successfully captured by the Imperial Swordsmen.
One of them rushed from the front like a ghost, and the long sword in his hand pierced Emperor Song's heart, while the other one attacked from behind like lightning, also holding a long sword, and broke through the chest.
This sudden change shocked everyone present, especially Emperor Song himself, who had never expected to encounter such a brutal attack.
As two dull thuds rang out, Emperor Song's body trembled violently, and blood gushed out of the wound like a fountain, splashing onto the ground, forming a shocking pool of scarlet.
The emperor died on the spot, and the murderous couple did not escape punishment. The moment they succeeded, the surrounding imperial guards and Jinyiwei reacted quickly, and countless arrows rained down on them.
Although the couple was agile, they were ultimately unable to escape the dense rain of arrows. They were pierced through the hearts by thousands of arrows and died tragically on the spot.
Emperor Song reigned for less than ten years, but he became renowned for his wisdom, bravery, and strategic vision. During his reign, he implemented a series of reforms that led to political clarity, economic prosperity, and military strength.
However, God is jealous of talented people. It is really regrettable that this wise ruler met with a tragic death in his prime.
Later historians had a high opinion of Emperor Song, believing that if he could have reigned for another 30 years, with his outstanding talents and leadership ability, he would have had a high chance of achieving the great feat of unifying the country.
Unfortunately, fate played a trick on him and the early death of Emperor Song became a great regret in history.
