Chapter 284
[Oh my, didn't you say before that when you're away from home, you give yourself your own identity. Who can blame the people here for believing in ghosts and gods!]
Yue Fuguang shook her head, not arguing with it about what was more scientific, but asked, "How did Luo Feng and Luo Yu die?"
The two were the Pavilion Master and Vice Pavilion Master after all, how could they lose their value so quickly?
[Last night someone broke into the prison. After failing, they conveniently slaughtered the two brothers. The prison breakers also all committed suicide, leaving no survivors.]
The Wind and Rain Pavilion not only had assassins, but also death warriors?
"System, do you know who the mastermind behind this is?" Although she asked this, Yue Fuguang actually already had a guess in her heart.
[Host, the mastermind behind yesterday's action is...]
"Little Bead, who masterminded the prison break last night?"
The system was stunned by her call for a moment before reacting, immediately saying, [Master, the mastermind behind the prison break is the old Pavilion Master, Feng Yang.]
"Feng Yang? Last time I heard Wei Ping and Cai Xian say he escaped. This person didn't return to Xiqiang to take refuge, but dared to come back to the capital to stir up trouble?"
[Master, Feng Yang sneaked into the capital in disguise three days ago. He had only been here for a day when he heard that Wu Lao'er, who had infiltrated the Right Guard New Army Camp from the Wind and Rain Pavilion, and his 'family' in Xiashan Village had all been arrested.
Because of Wu Lao'er's identity and mission, only he and Luo Feng knew.
Therefore, Feng Yang immediately suspected that Luo Feng had mutinied. But due to his daughter's pleas and the sake of his two grandchildren, he sent people to risk a prison break the following night.
Seeing the prison break fail, the assassins killed Luo Feng and Luo Yu before committing suicide.]
"So this prison break is still a continuation of the incident caused by calling the parents the other day? Feng Yang's people didn't know that Wu Lao'er was caught because his attempt to poison me was exposed?"
Looking at it this way, although this Luo Feng deserved to die, dying in such a way was indeed a bit wrongful!
Hearing that Yue Fuguang had accompanied her grandfather and second uncle to the military camp to see her second brother the day before yesterday and was actually subjected to a poisoning attempt, Yu Ningxuan and Yu Ningxin both turned pale.
Although Yue Fuguang was now sitting safe and sound in front of them, the fear in the little sisters' hearts could not be calmed no matter what.
The Seventh Prince and Eighth Princess, Yue Fuguang's two little companions, were also full of shock.
Because the Junior Preceptor had helped the imperial court, she had narrowly escaped assassination many times, and this time she was almost poisoned. The brother and sister both felt terrible.
The Junior Preceptor's kindness to Great Yan was as heavy as a mountain. Her repeated encounters made the pure-hearted young brother and sister feel that their Xie family had greatly wronged the Junior Preceptor.
A perfectly good immortal, dragged into this mortal power struggle, it was truly their Xie family who had let her down.
Yue Fuguang: The conscience of the Xie family is probably all grown on these two little ones!
However, this was truly a beautiful misunderstanding!
She, Yue Fuguang, a cheat-like existence from another world, was not some innocent chess piece dragged onto the board.
She was the true chess player standing behind the players, actually playing the game.
She took the world as her chessboard, saving the common people, and even more so, achieving her own goals.
Those who heard her inner voice were momentarily speechless, while the conversation between Yue Fuguang and the system continued.
[Master, because the New Army Camp is strictly controlled, the sand mixed in is only a few stray cats.
These people are all ordinary soldiers. The incident happened suddenly that day, Wei Shouyi dealt with it quickly, and later blocked the news. The camp was only allowed to enter and not exit.
So up to now, not a single bit of information has leaked.]
Although their group appeared at the training ground, because both sides had a gentle attitude, those who saw them only thought that the big shots had come to the military camp on official business and dropped by to visit the younger generation of their families.
After all, stealing chickens and touching pigs was not glorious. To cover up for the respected, considering the face of the elders in the family, Wei Shouyi would not ruin the reputation of the playboys, although they had no reputation to speak of.
What's more, there was Yu Boming inside, who couldn't be touched.
This single sentence from the system, however, made Yun Tianxing, who was teaching, unable to remain calm.
The Director of the Imperial Astronomy Bureau, who was just passionately speaking and talking eloquently about the stars and the moon, suddenly slowed down his speech.
Although he did not participate in the entire process of training the New Army Camp, he was indeed an onlooker.
Naturally, he knew how much hope and effort everyone, from His Majesty down to his colleagues, had placed in it.
The ten thousand people in the Right Guard New Army Camp were the testing ground for Great Yan's brand-new military management and training model.
Once successful, countless new recruit camps would be established all over Great Yan, and these people would also be one of the main forces for Great Yan to expand its territory in the future.
Now he was told that despite their thousand and ten thousand precautions, someone had actually mixed sand into them!
It was not hard to imagine how furious His Majesty would be upon learning of this!
Swish! Bang! Soon Yun Tianxing witnessed with his own eyes their furious Emperor, like a tiger whose lifeblood had been injured.
Wishing he could catch anyone and take a bite out of them to vent the hatred in his heart!
"Qian Gui, tell Huo Ying and Wei Shouyi to roll over and see Zhen!" Emperor Mingxi roared at Eunuch Qian below, holding the Son of Heaven's sword in his hand.
"Summon Wei Ping, Cai Xian, Feng Tang... and Elder Yu into the palace!"
Regardless of how angry Emperor Mingxi was at this time due to the chain reaction caused by an assassination and a prison break, Yue Fuguang was also dealing with the aftermath brought about by the prison break.
"Villa Master Luo, my condolences!"
For a moment, Yue Fuguang could not find more comforting words for Luo Xue, whose only son had died.
In the eyes of outsiders, no matter how much Luo Feng deserved to die, as a mother, Luo Xue inevitably had to bear the piercing pain of losing her son.
Luo Xue, whose face was visibly more weathered than when they first met, shook her head and said, "To be honest with Your Excellency, ever since I knew what he had done, I had long prepared for this day."
Only, she never expected this day to come so quickly. From his capture to his death, it had only been a month.
Yue Fuguang nodded. She really could not bring herself to say against her conscience that Luo Feng's crimes did not warrant death.
Luo Xue continued, "Not to mention the human life trade done by the Wind and Rain Pavilion, just the intention to assassinate Your Excellency is an unforgivable crime. He chose this path back then, and he can't blame anyone for this outcome."
If you ask who Luo Xue hated the most for Luo Feng's death? Besides hating herself for not teaching her son well, she only hated one person the most, and that was Feng Yang.
Feng Yang led her perfectly good son onto this path, and the person ultimately died at his hands.
Whether for the dead Luo Feng or for her Dongxue, Feng Yang had to die!
"What are Villa Master Luo's plans next?"
"I came to see Your Excellency this time to bid you farewell. Tomorrow I will send Luo Feng back to our hometown for burial."
Yue Fuguang nodded, "As you should. Then Dongxue..."
Hearing herself mentioned, Shen Dongxue, oh, Dongxue who would soon change her name to Luo Shendong, immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Excellency, your subordinate requests half a month's leave from you. After safely escorting my mother back to the Sunset Villa, your subordinate will rush back as soon as possible."
Yue Fuguang smiled and shook her head, saying, "Dongxue, there's no need to rush back. When you get to the Sunset Villa, spend some good time with Villa Master Luo. I will be fine here."
Shen Dongxue did not dare to leave Her Excellency's side for too long.
Every position by Her Excellency's side was highly sought after. Not to mention those far away, just those old acquaintances from the Guest Courtyard, who wasn't jealous of their current lives?
