Nine Princes Struggle for the Throne: The Mad Prince

Chapter 86 Imperial Shadow Guard: The Southern Qi Overlord

"Your Majesty, the Southern Qi Grand Commander has arrived and is waiting outside."

Eunuch Yongfu entered the imperial study to report to Emperor Dong Qin.

"Let him in."

The Emperor of Eastern Qin said with a cold face.

At this moment, outside the Imperial Study, the Southern Qi governor had just arrived when he saw Prince Liuyun being flogged.

Some people were puzzled as to what crime Prince Liuyun had committed to warrant being flogged.

It should be noted that although King Liuyun was unreliable, he had never committed any major offenses.

Why would they be punished?

"The Grand Commander of Southern Qi, His Majesty summons you."

When Eunuch Yongfu came out, he happened to see the Southern Qi governor looking at Prince Liuyun.

"Yes."

Although the Southern Qi governor was curious, he did not ask any further questions.

After all, only His Majesty can punish the Prince of Liuyun; this is not a matter he can interfere in.

He exchanged a glance with Prince Liuyun and then followed Eunuch Yongfu into the Imperial Study.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to the Divine Martial King."

The Southern Qi governor bowed to the two men.

"No gift."

"I called you here today because I need your cooperation. You'll be going with the Divine Martial King later!"

Without further ado, the Emperor of Eastern Qin issued the order.

"Yes."

The Southern Qi governor did not know why the Eastern Qin emperor would issue such an order.

But he dared not disobey the imperial decree.

"Alright, the person has arrived, so I'll take my leave now. Come with me."

After Qin Wu finished speaking, he got up and walked out of the Imperial Study.

"My minister retire."

Upon seeing this, the Southern Qi governor quickly bid farewell to the Eastern Qin emperor and left with Qin Wu.

Qin Wu arrived outside the Imperial Study and saw that the execution of Prince Liuyun had just ended. He only glanced at Prince Liuyun before walking directly to his carriage.

Return to the palace.

"Qi Ye, please have the Southern Qi Grand Eunuch go to the Prince's Palace dungeon."

As soon as Qin Wu sat down, he gave instructions to Qi Ye.

"Yes, Commander of Southern Qi, please!"

Qi Ye looked at the Southern Qi Governor.

Upon hearing Qin Wu's words, the Southern Qi governor felt an even stronger sense of foreboding.

He had a bad feeling when the Emperor of Eastern Qin summoned him before.

Unexpectedly, upon arriving at the Divine Martial King's Palace, the Divine Martial King immediately imprisoned him.

"Your Highness, I don't know what I have done wrong?"

The Southern Qi governor was very dissatisfied.

He kept everything very secret; he didn't believe anyone would find out.

"What did you do wrong? You'll find out soon enough when you get to the prison. And don't even think about resisting; you have no power over me."

Qin Wu sneered.

He deliberately lingered for a moment when he left the Imperial Study.

They wanted to see how the Southern Qi governor would react.

Unexpectedly, he actually discovered something interesting: this Southern Qi governor probably had private connections with the Prince of Liuyun.

He originally just wanted to give it a try; if the Southern Qi governor and the Prince of Liuyun had no connection, then he would let it go.

We'll try other princes then, but to our surprise, we succeeded on the first try.

This can be considered his good luck, while Liu Yun Wang and the Southern Qi governor were unlucky.

If the Prince of Liuyun knew that his foolish actions had exposed his relationship with the Governor of Southern Qi, I wonder if he would regret it.

He had been pretending for so long, but he never expected that a single mistake would expose the secret he had kept hidden for so long.

"Your Highness, I am not convinced. You cannot treat me like this. I am directly under His Majesty. You have no right to treat me like this."

The Southern Qi governor was still unconvinced.

Their Imperial Shadow Guards are directly under the command of the Eastern Qin Emperor and are not controlled by anyone else.

According to the rules, even King Shenwu, who had the power of regent, was not qualified to arrest him.

"Tell me, why did Father Emperor send you and me to my Divine Martial Prince's Mansion?"

"Take it down."

Qin Wu revealed a mocking smile.

His smile sent chills down the spine of the Southern Qi governor.

Qin Wu's words also plunged him into an ice cave.

He never expected that the Emperor of Dongqin would hand him over to the madman, the Divine Martial King.

He also knew that his actions could not withstand investigation.

Once he's caught, he'll definitely not have a good ending.

He knew that his only option today was to find a way to escape.

Then, with a swift movement, he fled outside.

However, as soon as he reached the gate of the Prince's Mansion, Qin Wu blocked his way.

"Where is the Southern Qi governor heading?"

Qin Wu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, looking at the Southern Qi governor with a mocking expression in his eyes.

The Southern Qi governor had not expected Qin Wu to move so quickly.

He was always confident in his lightness skill, and even a grandmaster might not be able to catch up with him.

Unexpectedly, Qin Wu caught up with him in an instant and blocked his way.

However, he did not give up and turned to go in another direction.

But the next moment, Qin Wu stood in front of him again.

They blocked his way.

"Want to escape?"

Qin Wu sneered and attacked directly.

He has no interest in playing cat and mouse games.

One strike from a single bird severely injured the Southern Qi governor.

"Give him some muscle-relaxing powder and take good care of our Southern Qi governor. Don't let him die."

Qin Wu gave a brief instruction and then headed straight for the backyard.

He hasn't even looked at today's intelligence yet; there are still many things to deal with.

After administering the muscle-relaxing powder to the Southern Qi governor, Qi Ye personally carried him to the dungeon.

"Lord of Southern Qi, will you speak voluntarily, or will I force you to speak through torture?"

Qi Ye sat on the grand chair guarded by Tai Lai, coldly looking at the Southern Qi governor who was bound hand and foot.

The Southern Qi governor endured the pain without uttering a word.

He firmly believed that as long as he kept quiet, the Emperor of Eastern Qin would soon order his release.

After all, he now controls the intelligence of the entire Southern Qi, and the Emperor of Eastern Qin will not let him leave for too long.

Furthermore, they are all the Emperor of Eastern Qin's confidants. If the Emperor of Eastern Qin lets this go unchecked, it is very likely to discourage the others.

He believed that the Emperor of Eastern Qin would not take such a risk.

"It seems that the Southern Qi governor is unwilling to confess voluntarily."

"Brothers, serve the supervisor well."

Qi Ye sneered and waved his hand.

Then someone stepped forward to carry out the execution.

A scream immediately followed.

The mournful sound was chilling.

Many prisoners in the dungeon huddled in a corner, trembling, upon hearing this voice.

The Southern Qi governor was also surprised that they actually dared to torture him.

"Stop! Stop! You have no right to torture me!"

"what...."

"Once I get out, you will pay the price."

"Ah...stop, stop!"

The Southern Qi governor roared and shouted incessantly.

But they didn't budge.

He knew very well that he couldn't say anything.

"continue."

Qi Ye saw the executioner about to stop and gave an order in dissatisfaction.

"Oh, by the way, go and make me a cup of tea."

Qi Ye gave instructions to the people behind him.
