Why My Domineering Prince Regretted Filing for Divorce?-Chapter 598 - 487: Some Things are Unsolvable_3
Shen Tu Tai glanced up at Yu Wenye sitting across from him, his cold, sharp eyes reflected even more deeply by the flickering firelight. He smiled and then said, "After you left, we stayed in Yanyue City for a while longer."
"Why?" ππΏπ²ππ°πππ§πππ²π₯.πππ
"We wanted to see what would happen after Wanggang Villageβwhat would happen next."
Upon hearing this, a trace of bewilderment appeared in Shantongβerβs large eyes, though there was also a hint of sadness within. He softly said, "So, what happened to the village later?"
"After that, the people in the village more or less dispersed."
"..."
"Xiao Yuansui took those who were left, those still willing to follow him, all to the Eastern Capital, leaving only a few people still guarding there. But without a Chief, thereβs hardly any grain leftβWanggang Village, in fact, has already disbanded."
As he spoke the last two words, his rough and loud voice also became hushed, eventually turning into a sigh.
Upon hearing this, Shang Ruyi couldnβt help but sigh softly.
To think, Wanggang Village was once a rebel force that caused the court much headache, even occupying the Xingluo Granary and advancing fiercely towards the Eastern Capital, yet in less than a year, it had come to this end.
What complicated her feelings even more was that the disbandment was not during Wang Quyiβs time, but during Xiao Yuansuiβs.
To think, he was originally a talented and shrewd person, yet he couldnβt lead Wanggang Village to prosper, instead allowing this once-mighty rebel village to fall apart under his leadership; even though they had been enemies, one couldnβt help but sigh with regret.
Shang Ruyi murmured, "How did it end up destroyed in his hands?"
Although there was a clamor around, the people by the bonfire had good hearing and were close enough for everyone to hear. Shen Tu Tai smiled immediately upon hearing this, "Wasnβt it because the Second Young Master took action?"
A glimmer of light flashed in Yu Wenyeβs eyes.
Shang Ruyi also subconsciously looked at him.
Yu Wenye remained silent for a while, picked up a dry twig, and stoked the fire to make the bonfire burn brighter. The flames flickered in his eyes, as if something was boiling within, yet when he spoke, his voice was as calm as frost, "Wanggang Village ended up like this, and it doesnβt have much to do with me."
"...!?"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at him in astonishment.
Not only those around the bonfire, but even Mu Xiancheng Bridge and some other soldiers nearby showed surprised expressions when they heard it.
Wasnβt Wanggang Village falling apart because of his solo attack?
Why did he say it has nothing to do with him?
Facing the puzzled gazes of everyone, Yu Wenye said calmly, "Wanggang Village indeed started to disintegrate after my attack, but my attack was not the reason for Wanggang Villageβs disintegration."
"..."
"In other words, even if I hadnβt attacked, or if it wasnβt me who attacked, Wanggang Village would have disbanded sooner or later."
"..."
"Or to put it another way, if not for one thing that happened in Wanggang Village first, I wouldnβt have brought a single blade to Wanggang Village at that time."
Hearing this, everyoneβs eyes widened even more.
Shen Tu Tai furrowed his thick black brows, thought for a moment, and said, "Are you saying that Xiao Yuansui killed the head leader?"
Yu Wenye nodded calmly.
He said, "Wang Quyi, in terms of talent, was not as good as Xiao Yuansui, and in terms of strategy, not as wise as Xiao Yuansui. It should be said he was inferior to Xiao Yuansui in many ways, but he did make one correct decision, albeit just one mistakeβtaking in Xiao Yuansui."
"..."
"And it was this decision that doomed that after Xiao Yuansui killed him, Wanggang Village was destined to fall apart."
Upon hearing this, Shen Tu Tai and Shantongβer instinctively exchanged a glance.
They both nodded silently.
In many matters, they might not agree with Wang Quyiβs approach, but the manβs sense of justice was indeed the reason Wanggang Village could gather them; and Xiao Yuansui was taken in when he was most downtrodden, and in the end, he repaid kindness with betrayal.
Just this one event made it difficult for everyone in Wanggang Village to accept.
Yu Wenye continued, "In this world, some things are unsolvableβif you donβt act, you face death; if you do, you become utterly devastated in beliefs, despised by the world."
"..."
"For example, brotherly strife."
