Nine Princes Struggle for the Throne: The Mad Prince

Chapter 93 The Brutal King Liuyun, the Betrayal of the Secret Guards

Liuyun Prince's Mansion.

After awhile.

The problems surrounding King Liuyun remain unresolved.

During this period, King Liuyun's temper became more and more irritable.

He had always been fond of women, but now that his injuries had almost healed, he still lacked any sense of male dignity.

How could he bear this?

During this period, he killed many of the physicians in his household and also sought out many doctors from the common people, but no one could do anything about his illness, or rather, no one could find the cause.

It is evident that Jiang Pingle was indeed quite skilled in poisons.

Not only that, during this period, he could be said to have had everything go wrong.

Not only could he not leave the manor, but several of his men had also run into trouble. He could only worry anxiously inside the manor.

Furthermore, he has also lost a lot of his secret guards during this period, and those were secret guards that he had trained at great cost.

Each loss is a huge loss for him.

"Useless, are you all useless?"

Just as King Liuyun received the news, two of his Grandmaster-level bodyguards had fallen.

The body was thrown back.

This loss left him feeling extremely frustrated.

"Your Highness, it is likely that it was the Divine Martial King who did it. In Eastern Qin, apart from His Majesty, only the Divine Martial King has the power to do this."

The leader of the secret guards said in a low voice.

According to their investigation, the people monitoring them from the outside were the people of the Divine Warrior King.

The two sides have clashed no less than ten times, but they have always come out on the losing end.

Last night, they wanted to go out on business, but unexpectedly, they were blocked by the Divine Martial King's men.

Although both sides suffered losses in the battle, their losses were far more severe, with two Grandmaster-level experts dying.

He also suffered serious injuries.

"It's that damned Divine Martial King again. What is he up to?"

"Does he really have to keep targeting me? Does he really think I have no temper?"

After hearing the report from the leader of the secret guards, King Liuyun smashed a lot more things in a fit of rage.

He never expected that even after he had yielded to this extent, Qin Wu would still keep a close eye on him, and now even his men were being prevented from going out.

This is simply too much bullying.

The leader of the secret guards silently took a few steps back, not wanting to be accidentally injured by the wrath of the Flowing Cloud King.

If it weren't for the two Grandmaster-level experts who perished last night, he wouldn't have come to report in person.

These days, unless it's something important, he won't personally appear before King Liuyun. Although he's a secret guard, he doesn't want to be seriously injured by his master at the drop of a hat.

Although his master's temper was strange before, it was much better than it has been lately; at least he wouldn't act recklessly.

But now, with this temper, the people below are starting to complain.

It took a full cup of tea's time for King Liuyun to finish venting his anger.

"What's going on outside now?"

King Liuyun inquired.

"Your Highness, we are receiving very little intelligence right now. It is estimated that the Divine Martial King's men are secretly intercepting our information, and our people dare not transmit messages to the outside world at will."

The leader of the secret guards reported.

Unfortunately, the more they clashed with those monitoring them from the outside, the harder it became for them to communicate with the outside world.

It's not easy for messages to get in from the outside.

He tried many methods, but with little success.

"Your Highness, it's not just that. Nowadays, we can only compile a list of our daily expenses and hand it over to the Imperial Guards, who will then be responsible for purchasing them. Our people are not even allowed to leave the palace."

The leader of the secret guards delivered another piece of bad news.

"His Majesty only ordered me to stay at home. What? Now even the people in my residence are not allowed to leave?"

This was something King Liuyun had never expected.

His mansion was so grand that even the servants were not allowed to leave.

This is not just a simple house arrest; it's a form of house arrest.

He couldn't understand why he had suddenly been placed under house arrest.

"Yes, I heard it was His Majesty's decree that the Prince is involved in a corruption case and we need to cooperate with the investigation."

"The prince was injured before, so we didn't report it."

After the leader of the secret guards finished speaking, he lowered his head.

They are even prepared to retreat at any time.

As expected, Rang's guess was right; a teacup was thrown at him.

He slightly dodged, avoiding the teacup that was thrown at him.

Otherwise, even if it were him, if a teacup were hit on the head, he would be bleeding profusely.

King Liuyun never expected that the leader of the secret guards would dare to hide.

"Useless trash, how dare you hide."

Upon seeing this, King Liuyun immediately stepped forward and gave the leader of the secret guards a sound beating.

He only vented his anger after severely injuring the leader of the secret guards.

"Guards, throw this piece of trash out of here!"

After venting his anger, King Liuyun shouted loudly towards the door.

He just didn't expect that this beating would have such consequences for him.

After all, the secret guards are not suicide soldiers; they have their own ideas.

This beating and humiliation shattered the last shred of loyalty the head of the secret guards had for him.

After the leader of the secret guards was sent back.

"Boss, the prince actually treated you like this, and you sacrificed so much for him."

One of the guards applied medicine to his leader's wounds while speaking indignantly.

They were grateful to King Liuyun for nurturing them, but they had also done a lot for him in return.

During this period, King Liuyun has killed many of their brothers, and now he has even seriously injured their leader. They already harbored resentment, and now they are filled with hatred.

"I never expected him to treat me like this. I risked my life for him, and he showed me no mercy at all."

The leader of the secret guards said in a sinister tone.

He recalled all the things he had done for King Liuyun over the years.

That's enough to repay the kindness of King Liuyun.

"Boss, more than twenty of us brothers have died at the hands of the prince during this period."

The guard said viciously.

"Hmph, since he's so unforgiving, don't blame me for what I'm going to do."

"Go and tell the brothers to find a way to rescue our families."

The leader of the secret guards said in a sinister tone.

Since King Liuyun is unrighteous, then don't blame him for being unjust.

"Yes."

"But boss, what do we do next?"

The guard inquired.

"Contact the Divine Martial King."

The leader of the secret guards spoke each word clearly.

Now, the only thing they can do is to pledge allegiance to the Divine Martial King and help him kill the Flowing Cloud King.

Only in this way can they have a way to survive.

Otherwise, given their strength, once King Liuyun survives this calamity, they won't have an easy time either.

They are not alone; they have their own families.

They cannot allow their families to live in danger.

"Yes, I'll contact them right away."

The guards accepted the order and withdrew immediately.
