Sure enough, after he returned to the palace, a secret guard told him that someone had been waiting for him for a long time and had brought a message.
Prince Xuan opened the letter with a bitter look on his face and looked at the nine names written on it. Behind each name represented a force.
He felt like crying. He had thought Fang Zhiyi was a loyal person, but it seemed that people would change after all. He regretted it so much!
Fortunately, Fang Zhiyi had no father, otherwise he would have told him. But his master never told him until his death.
Undercurrents surged within Tiancheng, and Emperor Tianyan was already deeply suspicious of Prince Xuan. Prince Xuan knew he couldn't clear his name, so how could he defend himself? Should he just say he'd cultivated a pawn to draw attention to his future rebellion? Wouldn't that be the same?
After thinking for a long time, he seemed to have only one choice left, which was to send someone to get rid of Fang Zhiyi, who had suddenly changed his temperament.
But it was strange that his secret disappeared after he left Tiancheng.
"Our business has been suddenly suspended by the higher-ups. Commander-in-Chief, what should we do?" a masked man asked his superior.
The boss took a sip of wine and said, "Wait for the prince's order."
"Could it be that Mr. Fang has noticed..." The subordinate lowered his voice.
The boss sneered, "So what if he noticed? Without the prince, how could a commoner like him build such a big business? He can only cover for us. Even if he knows, he will just be obedient."
After a pause, he sighed, "If only he could continue to pretend to be Mr. Fang, now... humph."
Suddenly, two coughs were heard outside the door.
Then the door opened and two faces poked their heads in: "Good evening."
"Death ghost! Drunken Sword Immortal! What are you doing here?"
"Come...silence them."
"What?"
At the same time, hidden strongholds everywhere were massacred in blood. Courtyards, restaurants, and backyards of gambling dens. The leaders of the killer organization, the leaders of the intelligence organization, and the leaders of the smuggling horse team all died suddenly and mysteriously overnight.
Fang Zhiyi rubbed his hands together as he looked at Jin Suanpan, who was reporting on the progress, and asked without thinking, "Can you play chess?"
Jin Suanpan was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
"Give me a handful."
Jin Suanpan looked at the adult in front of him, a little puzzled. He suddenly made such a big move, and the adult was not panicked at all? He had no idea that for the other party, cleaning was just the most common method.
Prince Xuan was discouraged as he hadn't received any response. He was not stupid and he immediately guessed that all the secret agents he had planted in Wanbao Pavilion were destroyed.
After guessing the problem, Prince Xuan was anxious and angry, but he had no way to deal with it. From a certain point of view, Fang Zhiyi and he were in the same boat, and if the matter got out of hand, no one would be in trouble.
Especially now that Emperor Tianyan is watching him closely.
Prince Xuan had no other choice but to give it his all. He jumped out from the darkness and began to frequently interact with some sects and families.
These were the four words Fang Zhiyi asked someone to convey to him.
"Borrowing to kill."
As expected, wherever Prince Xuan, who was always being watched, went, the sect or family would be sorted out and reported to Emperor Tianyan on the same day. Looking at the families that his disciples had visited the most recently, Emperor Tianyan became more and more suspicious.
"Sir, I really don't understand your move." Jin Suanpan placed a piece and said respectfully.
Fang Zhiyi glanced at it casually, then said, "You don't need to understand. Some things work better if you do them the other way around."
"Your Excellency is unfathomable..." The golden abacus placed a piece.
"Stop flattering me. One, two, three, four, five, I win!" Fang Zhiyi threw down the last piece.
Jin Suanpan's face twisted like a bitter melon: "Sir, this Gobang is too..."
