Chapter 189 This is a suicide bomber
System: [Hey, this guy is interesting. He is actually a fake. Ah Ruan, do you know who he really is? ]
Crowd: !!!
What?! Someone could actually go to court under a false identity?!
The court officials from the Ministry of War immediately took a few steps closer.
Yuanruan: [Hiss, who is it? ]
System: [He is the second prince of the Xiongnu.]
Everyone: ???
What?! The second prince of the Xiongnu? Isn't he a partner of the crown prince?
The court officials all looked at the prince, but found that his expression was even more confused than theirs, and he even asked himself, "Who is this?"
Yuan Ruan: [Ah? The second prince of the Xiongnu? Wait, isn't my nephew cooperating with him? He pretends to be so good? My nephew doesn't see it? What does he want to do by hiding his identity? To assassinate?]
System: [Stop, stop, stop! Ah Ruan, wait, I will answer them one by one. First of all, the second prince of the Xiongnu has a reversion gene. His mother was worried that the Khan would think she was cheating on him, so she dyed his hair black and made his skin yellow.]
Yuanruan: [Huh? People could dye their hair in ancient times?]
System: [Of course, why do you think his hairline is so high? He dyed it too much, so he is bald. Okay, I will continue.]
The courtiers' eyes unconsciously drifted towards the sparse blond man's head.
The blond man sensitively protected his head, paused, and put on his hat silently.
The system continued: [Because he has been pretending since he was young, he is sensitive and suspicious. When he did business with your nephew, he arranged a substitute, so your nephew didn't find out. This time, when the Chen State and the Xiongnu prince went to war together, he took off his disguise and was active outside with a new identity. Seeing that the Xiongnu and the Chen State were losing ground, he came here this time to get some benefits without any effort.]
Yuanruan: [What do you mean by getting something for nothing? ]
Courtiers: !!!
Wait, let's put the other news aside for a bit, can you tell me in detail about the battles between the Xiongnu and the Chen Kingdom where they were losing ground? !
Unfortunately, neither the system nor Yuanruan can hear their voices.
The system continued: [This time, he came to see you as a merchant from Dayuezhi, and was going to paint a big cake for your brother, and wanted your brother to use the army to escort him back and forth to Dayuezhi for business. As for the money he sent to bribe him, well, it was all the sponsorship that your nephew had given him before.]
The prince took a deep breath and looked strange.
The other court officials glared at each other: You barbarians from the grassland are so careless. How could you do this? You are ungrateful to the trust of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Yuan Ruan: [If this guy were in the 21st century, he would be very suitable for playing with finance. Expose him! ]
The system suddenly laughed: [I will expose it. But Ah Ruan, this second prince can never beat your eldest nephew. ]
The emperor raised his eyebrows and looked at the prince.
Yuanruan's voice was almost rising, and he was very interested: [Oh! Tell me about your nephew's great achievements. ]
System: [For example, the route of the Silk Road, haha, it was actually someone your nephew planted next to the second prince who specifically recommended it to the second prince. He kept saying how powerful the Great Yuezhi was and how they could protect the Xiongnu. In fact, your nephew had already sent people to investigate. The Great Yuezhi now had money but no military force, but there were several small countries on the way from Daxia to Daxia that particularly liked to block the road and rob. Your nephew wanted the second prince to explore the way for Daxia and clear the obstacles. Anyway, the Xiongnu could not defeat Daxia. This trick of "driving away the wolf and swallowing the tiger" and "borrowing the chicken to lay eggs" was really well used. Your nephew is very cunning.]
Yuan Ruan immediately defended the prince: [Tong'er, this is not treachery! This is intelligence. Fight the enemy with the enemy, understand! Wow, my nephew is so amazing, he might be able to create a Silk Road that will be remembered for generations, he has a long-term plan! ]
The emperor narrowed his eyes. The Silk Road? How could the merchant route for doing business with the countries in the Western Regions be so highly praised?
System: […Aruan, this is double standard.]
Yuan Ruan: [Hmm? Where am I being hypocritical? No matter what, the things that my nephew gave to the Second Prince of the Xiongnu are real benefits!]
The prince was serious. Yes, he still gave some benefits.
At this time, the expression on the emperor's face was slightly strange.
System: [Ahem. Your nephew did give you the things honestly, but they were not obtained legitimately.]
Yuanruan: [Ah?]
The court officials were also curious, wondering how could he have such an illegitimate background?
System: [Before your brother met you, wasn't he leading the army on a tour? He happened to encounter a robbery by mountain bandits. After your brother ordered people to rescue the merchant, he found out that the merchant was not from Dasha but from the Xiongnu, and was a confidant of the Xiongnu prince, responsible for transporting the sponsorship money sent to the Xiongnu prince by the Chen and Shu kingdoms. Your brother took advantage of the situation without saying a word. Then, your nephew took part of the money to the Xiongnu and used it to help the second prince establish connections.]
Civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty: ...Pfft.
Yuan Ruan sighed: [Brother is so smart. There is a saying, "If we don't have guns or cannons, the enemy will make them for us..."]
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty all looked at Yuan Ruan in agreement: "We are borrowing arrows with straw boats. If we don't have guns or cannons, the enemy will make them for us. That's right! You are absolutely right."
The system was shocked: [Aruan, what is the difference between your brother's behavior and that of the second prince of the Xiongnu? ]
Yuan Ruan: [Of course. My brother’s spoils of war, of course he can use them as he pleases. The second prince received a gift from the master family and gave it back to the master family, so the nature is completely different.]
System: [……6]
Yuan Ruan: [Hehe, is there any other wise and powerful operation by my brother and nephew? ]
System: [No. Ah Ruan, do you still want to expose him? How do you plan to expose him? ]
Yuanruan did not answer.
She simply stretched out her little finger, gestured at the blond man, then closed her eyes and silently chanted a spell.
Suddenly, she made a heart shape with her hands, and a bolt of lightning exploded above the blond man's head.
Yuan Ruan suddenly narrowed his eyes, pointed at the man and said, "Father!"
The emperor and the prince looked over very cooperatively.
Just when Yuan Ruan was about to say something mysterious, the second Xiongnu prince suddenly asked tremblingly: "This, is this the Great Xia, the Great Xia Imperial Master?"
The courtiers nodded.
The second prince of the Xiongnu suddenly cried: "Shouldn't the Imperial Master be casting spells to bless the soldiers of Daxia at the front line? Who would have thought that the Imperial Master would be so powerful that he could cast spells from a distance of thousands of miles."
Yuan Ruan was completely confused. What was going on? He was suddenly praising her?!
She won't be soft-hearted because of this!
Thinking of this, Yuanruan moved the hand that was about to shock the other party a little further away.
The next second, Yuan Ruan saw the other party kneel down with a thud, and said with a tearful face: "Your Majesty, I am a villain who has no eyes and does not recognize the great man. I am guilty, please do not curse me..."
Then he recounted his plan in a rush, and finally did some deep self-reflection, hoping that the young master would give him a chance to start over.
The emperor, who was just about to signal the crown prince to take over, said:
The court officials who were just about to watch the prince's performance: ...
The prince, who was just thinking about how to cleverly take the blame, said: …
Yuan Ruan was choked back at the thought: […Tong'er, look at this suicide hero, what's wrong with him? Is he drunk?]
System: [Don't worry, look at me, the melon is coming! ]
The courtiers also pricked up their ears curiously.
