Chapter 239 Spies Never End Well
The third prince slumped down from his throne, his face contorted in despair.
It turns out that everything was caused by Ruan Xingzhi.
He was originally a spy for the Great Yu, and his family was raided, and the King of Wu he followed was poisoned...
Yes, according to Mr. Bai's findings, the King of Wu was poisoned and the Ruan family was raided, but all of this was done by Ruan Xingzhi.
Ruan Xingzhi had always been a spy for the Dayu royal family...
Later, Ruan Xingzhi used this as an excuse to flee all the way to Biao Kingdom.
As for everything after arriving in Biao Kingdom, it was all arranged between Ruan Xingzhi and the Da Yu side...
The Third Prince dared not think about it anymore. It was he who sent Ruan Xingzhi to the Second Prince's side, and it was he who protected Ruan Xingzhi in the Kingdom of Biao.
If it weren't for him, Ruan Xingzhi wouldn't have been able to gain a foothold in Biao Kingdom, and none of what happened later would have occurred.
Thinking of this, the Third Prince suddenly stood up and led his men to his villa in a menacing manner.
The forgotten Mr. Bai watched the Third Prince's departing figure, a cold smile tugging at the corner of his mouth before turning and leaving.
Mandalay is in chaos right now; he has plenty of ways to leave if he wants.
...
The third prince soon arrived at his villa.
Although Mandalay city was in chaos, the villa area, located on the outskirts of the capital, was not so chaotic.
In addition, since the Third Prince had previously valued Ruan Xingzhi and sent many people over, the situation here was quite different.
Pushing open the gate of the villa, the Third Prince immediately saw Ruan Xingzhi pacing in the courtyard.
"Brother Xingzhi, what a refined taste you have! Are you still thinking about composing poetry?" the Third Prince asked with a sneer.
Ruan Xingzhi, who was originally thinking about how to get out of the situation, was taken aback for a moment, and then quickly bowed respectfully to the Third Prince.
"Greetings, Your Highness!"
The Third Prince did not make Ruan Xingzhi get up as usual, but simply sat down on the stone bench in the courtyard.
Those who came with him stood behind the Third Prince.
The Third Prince just stared at Ruan Xingzhi, who was bowing deeply.
Ruan Xingzhi also sensed something was wrong, so he kept bowing and maintaining the bowing posture.
"Brother Xingzhi! You must be suffering so much from enduring such humiliation."
I wonder what the emperor of Dayu will give you after you've done so much!
Should we grant him the title of Marquis? Or the title of Duke?
"I think it wouldn't be too much to bestow upon you the title of a king of a different surname, after all, your silver tongue is comparable to that of the entire Southwest Army!" the Third Prince said slowly.
Ruan Xingzhi...
He was a little confused; what was all this about?
"Your Highness, I, Ruan..." Ruan Xingzhi was about to ask what was going on when someone behind the Third Prince suddenly appeared and pressed him to the ground.
"Your Highness, what do you mean by this? Are you abandoning me after I've served my purpose, or has someone spoken ill of me?"
"Your Highness, I, Ruan..." Ruan Xingzhi's head was pressed to the ground as he tried to argue.
The third prince walked over and kicked him.
"What else do you want to do? Your greatest strength is your tongue. Didn't I fall for your tricks?"
"Guards, cut his tongue out!"
Soon, Ruan Xingzhi's tongue was cut out by the Third Prince's men.
With his tongue cut out, Ruan Xingzhi curled up on the ground in excruciating pain, blood gushing from his mouth staining his clothes red. Soon, he was covered in mud, his former refined appearance gone.
The Third Prince was still not satisfied, so he kicked Ruan Xingzhi twice more.
"You're quite capable! You claim to be joining me, but what are you really doing here? Are you here to be a spy?"
I was wondering why your initial plan was so good and why it went so smoothly!
You said the Southwest Army wouldn't send troops, and sure enough, they didn't!
You said the Southwest Army could negotiate, and they did indeed negotiate.
So all of this was planned by you? The Southwest Army cooperated with you so much just to send you to my side, didn't they?
Furthermore, you were the one who stirred up the conflict between your eldest and second eldest brothers.
You say it's for my own good, to help me stand up for myself, but actually you're thinking of throwing the Biao Kingdom into chaos.
Now it's all over. My eldest brother is crippled, my second brother is dead, and I'm the crown prince, but what good is that?
You secretly relayed all these things happening in Biao Kingdom back to Dayu, didn't you?
What good will it do you to do this?
You've messed up the country and now you want to run away? Have you been thinking about how to leave Mandalay these past few days?
No wonder you were so full of ideas before, but this time you're completely silent?
You've already ruined the Biao Kingdom, and you still want to give Da Yu one last push.
You instigated me to have the government issue a notice, causing all the nobles and wealthy families in Mandalay to flee to Sigyi. Those people are taking away the wealth of the Bhai Kingdom.
That wealth just automatically ended up in Da Yu's hands.
"Ruan Xingzhi, you really have a clever plan!" After saying that, the Third Prince kicked Ruan Xingzhi several more times.
Overwhelmed with pain, Ruan Xingzhi could only whimper incoherently, trying to signal that he hadn't done any of it.
The Third Prince's eyes were filled with disgust as he looked at Ruan Xingzhi.
He threw the stub of the secret passage that Mr. Bai had sent in front of Ruan Xingzhi.
"Still not giving up, huh? Open your dog eyes and take a look at this!"
No wonder you, a frail scholar, were able to escape all the way from the capital of Da Yu to the Kingdom of Biao.
"You actually managed to get this far? So someone's been protecting you!" The Third Prince got angrier and angrier as he spoke, and kicked Ruan Xingzhi several more times with great force.
Despite his trembling pain, Ruan Xingzhi picked up the secret customs clearance document that had been lying on the ground and looked at it.
this……
He doesn't have these things! Where did this come from...?
Suddenly, Ruan Xingzhi thought of something.
It turns out that the people of Dayu had known all along that he had arrived in Biao Kingdom. They not only knew that he had come to Biao Kingdom, but they also knew what he wanted to do there...
They have everything under control...
They used their plan to throw the country into chaos, and then took the opportunity to reap the benefits!
Ruan Xingzhi suddenly felt despair; it turned out that the clown had always been him!
He thought his plan was flawless, but in reality... everything he did was within everyone else's expectations.
No wonder things went so smoothly recently, and the two princes fought so fiercely. It turns out that the people of Dayu were stirring things up behind the scenes!
The question is... who is behind all of this?
The Prince of Qi? General Huangfu? Or perhaps Wei Yanli from the Wei family...
"Roar roar roar..." That was all Ruan Xingzhi could make.
The Third Prince gave Ruan Xingzhi a look of disgust. This was the man who had ruined the Biao Kingdom like this...
"Cut off pieces of his flesh and feed them to the dogs!"
"I want him to know that there is no good end for spies!" the Third Prince said with a sinister grin.
Soon, screams of agony echoed from the courtyard...
