Chapter 204 Let me tell you the story in detail
Song Zhimian waved her hand in front of Xiao Huaijin.
"Do you think my hands are murderous hands?"
Xiao Huaijin took a closer look. It was quite white, dazzling to the eye. He didn't know if it was tender or not, since he hadn't touched it.
"My eldest sister always says that her hands are only for using an abacus, but she's killed quite a few people!"
You and she might be the same kind of people; you don't have to lift a finger to kill.
My eldest sister only needs to say a few words.
"As for you... just use your brain, and maybe that person will suddenly die for some reason!" Xiao Huaijin laughed.
Song Zhimian knew that Xiao Huaijin was referring to the time when he killed Cai Boju.
But Cai Boju's incident was really just a coincidence; a lot of things came together, and he just happened to seize the opportunity.
After giving Xiao Huaijin a disapproving look, Song Zhimian decided to go back to her own courtyard to rest.
I drank a bit too much and I'm a little dizzy now!
Xiao Huaijin, however, continued walking forward with Song Zhimin.
"Song Zhimian, you still haven't told me who my lovely elder sister asked you to kill?"
"The person she ordered to be killed, and who made you happy, must be the most heinous person next!" Xiao Huaijin continued to press.
Song Zhimian stopped and turned to look at Xiao Huaijin.
She knew that if she didn't tell him about this problem today, Prince Qi would definitely not give up.
Looking around, Song Zhimian spotted a small pavilion not far away and gestured with her chin toward it.
"Let's talk over there!"
Xiao Huaijin nodded and waved gently. Soon, someone went to the pavilion to tidy up.
Cushions, tea, and two plates of snacks were quickly prepared.
Song Zhimin also sat down in the pavilion, and Xiao Huaijin sat down opposite her.
A gentle breeze blew by, and Song Zhimian felt her head clear up considerably. After taking a sip of strong tea, her previously tense head seemed to relax instantly.
"Don't worry, no one but me can hear what you're saying!" Xiao Huaijin said with a smile.
Song Zhimian nodded, took another sip of tea, and then looked at Xiao Huaijin.
"Your elder sister, our Lord Ye sent me to kill Ruan Xingzhi!" Song Zhimian whispered.
Xiao Huaijin's eyes turned cold when he heard Ruan Xingzhi's name.
"Ruan Xingzhi? He came to the southwest... You mean he went to the Biao Kingdom?"
I know where Ruan Xingzhi went; he's with the Second Prince of Biao Kingdom!
No wonder the Second Prince of Biao Kingdom has been acting so well lately, even the First Prince who holds military power is no match for him. It turns out that Ruan Xingzhi is advising him behind the scenes!
"This Ruan Xingzhi, he really is a member of the Ruan family. He must have done a lot of things to betray his country for personal gain!" Xiao Huaijin quickly figured out where Ruan Xingzhi had gone.
Song Zhimian was a little surprised.
This Xiao Huaijin is quite something. I only said I wanted to kill Ruan Xingzhi, and he even figured out where Ruan Xingzhi was.
"Your Highness, do you mean you already know where Ruan Xingzhi is?" Song Zhimian asked hurriedly.
Xiao Huaijin nodded.
"You should be able to guess that just two days before you arrived, someone from the Biao Kingdom suddenly came to our door wanting to negotiate."
Moreover, the First Prince's troops, who were originally confronting us, were withdrawn and replaced by the Second Prince.
Now that I think about it, that time must have been when Ruan Xingzhi arrived in Biao.
This Ruan Xingzhi...
Song Zhimian, don't worry, I'll kill the people for you!
"Now that I know where he is, I'll arrange for someone to deliver his head to you within seven days. You can then take his head back to the capital to report back," Xiao Huaijin said calmly.
It felt like ordering your subordinates to slaughter a chicken for Song Zhimin as a snack with her drinks...
Song Zhimian thought about that scene...
A bloody human head lay before him, and he was determined to take it back to the capital...
Song Zhimian quickly waved her hand.
"Your Highness, can you tell me why you are so certain that Ruan Xingzhi is with the Second Prince?"
Without wasting any words, Xiao Huaijin told Song Zhimian about the recent events between Dayu and Biao Kingdom.
Song Zhimian listened and nodded.
But Xiao Huaijin shook his head slightly when he concluded that Ruan Xingzhi was helping the Second Prince.
"Your Highness, I think differently from you."
Although Ruan Xingzhi may have helped the Second Prince behind the scenes, it doesn't necessarily mean he was doing things for the Second Prince.
Just think, when Ruan Xingzhi was in the capital of Dayu, he was a famous gentleman, full of talent.
Although he was related to the King of Wu's maternal family, it would have been easy for him to join the King of Zhao's faction if he wanted to.
If I remember correctly, the King of Zhao admired him greatly. On many occasions when the young masters of the capital gathered together, he would talk a lot with Ruan Xingzhi.
To others, Ruan Xingzhi should be considered a follower of the King of Zhao, since the King of Wu had no hope of ascending the throne and could only follow the King of Zhao.
If Ruan Xingzhi were to truly follow the King of Zhao, then in this matter... the King of Zhao would definitely do everything in his power to protect him.
But Ruan Xingzhi did not do that. He chose to side with the King of Wu and even plotted to drag the King of Zhao into the mess.
From this perspective, Ruan Xingzhi has grand ambitions; he desires absolute power.
He had just arrived in Biao Kingdom and his foundation was not yet stable. How could he be qualified to stand out in front of the Second Prince, who had many advisors around him?
Why would the young master of a fallen family who fled from Dayu be regarded differently by the second prince of an enemy state?
Why should the second prince of Biao Kingdom trust Ruan Xingzhi?
"There must be someone who introduced us here!" Song Zhimian looked at Xiao Huaijin.
Xiao Huaijin's eyes narrowed as well.
Song Zhimian's analysis is correct.
This is like a stranger running up to the tent of the Southwest Army commander and shouting that he has a brilliant plan to defeat the Biao Kingdom.
Who would listen to him? He'd probably be riddled with arrows the moment he uttered his first word.
"Then who do you think introduced him to the Second Prince of Biao Kingdom?" Xiao Huaijin asked, looking at Song Zhimian.
Song Zhimian took another sip of tea before speaking.
"Your Highness, think about it, Ruan Xingzhi must know someone in Biao Kingdom since he ran all the way from Dayu to Biao Kingdom!"
Do you think anyone from Biaoguo has visited Chongqing in recent years?
After a moment's thought, Xiao Huaijin blurted out the answer.
"That year, the Kingdom of Biao sent an envoy to the capital. He was a Grand Master of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices of the Kingdom of Biao, and the third prince of the Kingdom of Biao also went with him."
Oh right, I remember now.
The third prince of that country stayed in the capital for about ten days before returning with the envoy's entourage.
While in the capital, he also participated in two poetry gatherings held by the local scholars.
Those two poetry gatherings were organized by King Zhao, and Ruan Xingzhi was also present.
Perhaps it was around that time that Ruan Xingzhi met the third prince of Biao Kingdom.
The third prince of Biao Kingdom, like the other two princes, was born to the empress, and he had a good relationship with his two older brothers.
If he were to make the introduction... the Second Prince would definitely look at him differently.
Ruan Xingzhi was familiar with all the families in the capital, and he was quite knowledgeable, which is why the Second Prince trusted him.
"Song Zhimian, do you mean the Third Prince deliberately introduced Ruan Xingzhi to the Second Prince?"
Song Zhimian nodded.
"Your Highness, I have read all the information that Lord Ye sent me."
Before the Third Prince of Biao Kingdom went to Dayu, he was a refined and gentle prince who loved poetry and literature.
But after returning to Biao Kingdom from Dayu, the Third Prince's personality changed drastically, and he spent his days eating, drinking, and having fun.
Don't you find that strange?
Xiao Huaijin...
"Is he possessed by a demon? Bewitched?" Xiao Huaijin joked.
Song Zhimian...
