C50 Wrath of the Sovereign King

On the morning of the next day, the three women successfully returned to Yun Feixue's side. In addition, they also brought a stack of extremely useful information.

In Yun Feixue's hands was a namelist. However, this list was different from the ones he had seen in Wen Ren and the others.

Every single one of these names were well-known figures in the imperial court. Some of them were even from the younger generation who had recently become the Central University Scholars.

However, why did the three shadows bring this name list to Yun Feixue? It was because each name was more or less related to Zhuge Lei's mother, Liu Yuehua.

These people were either Liu Yuehua's older brother or Liu Yuehua's relatives. In short, they were all inextricably linked to Liu Yuehua.

Even though it simply stated the relationship between these people and Liu Yuehua, it was sufficient to sentence her to death.

If not for King Zhuge Ming, these people would not have been able to appear in the Hidden Dragon City. With King Zhuge Ming's authority, they instantly rose from a commoner to an important official in the imperial court.

Because King Zhuge Ming had this ability, his status as the commander-in-chief of the three armies was enough for him to command more than half of the courtiers and officials in the imperial court.

"Liu Yong, five days from now, you will be ranked first in the National Education Examination. Five hundred thousand gold taels will settle this matter." Continuing to flip through, this sentence immediately attracted Yun Feixue's attention.

Even before the exam had begun, the first place had already been decided?

What kind of absurd thing was this?

If such a thing were to happen in the imperial court every year, the future of the Hidden Dragon Empire would be under the control of a bunch of ignorant people, and what would the consequences be?

Furthermore, Yun Feixue had also personally seen on Wen Renhe's list that the Golden Dragon Guards were powerful throughout the imperial court. Even the emperor did not know about the current development of the Golden Dragon Guards, not to mention that such a thing happened all the time. If the current situation did not change, Yun Feixue could already foresee the future of the Hidden Dragon Empire.

"Commander-in-chief, this position really makes you do everything you can." He could not be considered a patriot, and had never thought that he would be willing to serve the empire to the fullest extent of his abilities, just like his father. But now, seeing this, as the descendant of Yun Fei, if he were to continue to sit and watch, Yun Fei would probably crawl out of the soil to slap him a few times.

All of you can focus on your cultivation. There's no need for you to interfere in this matter. Yun Feixue said.

"Yes, young master." After sending away the Umbra, Yun Feixue continued his day of cultivation. Only in the evening did he take out this name list again, and then did he organize the detailed information.

When darkness enveloped the entire Hidden Dragon City, Yun Feixue had already blended together with the dark night sky like a fairy.

As the economic and trade center of the Hidden Dragon Empire, Hidden Dragon City was enormous. Even in a city, Yun Feixue had to advance for almost half an hour to reach the outskirts of the Hidden Dragon Palace.

During this process, he had fully experienced the benefits of his training these past few days. Now, every muscle in his body could be mobilized for his use. Even during high-speed movements, he could still smoothly exhale and catch his breath.

The huge amount of energy contained within his body could be used by him at any time. He was very confident that even if he did not take out his Blood Blade, he could defeat a Tenth Layer warrior with his bare hands.

Arriving outside the Hidden Dragon Palace, Yun Feixue's movements were much slower. What he needed to do now was to enter the Palace.

Every night, there would be countless patrolling guards guarding the Hidden Dragon Palace and the emperor Dongfang Jianxiong's safety. This was also why he didn't hand over the mission to others and didn't want the people around him to take the risk for him.

Yun Feixue had been to the Hidden Dragon Palace twice, so he was not familiar with this place, but he was not unfamiliar with it either. With the help of tall trees and buildings, Yun Feixue moved through the shadows of the buildings like a gecko.

Below him were the patrolling guards that consisted of twenty people. However, they no longer looked alert, but more of their fatigue and sleepiness came from the night.

After all, this was the Hidden Dragon Palace, and no one had the guts to come here and cause trouble for them for so many years. As time passed, the fighting spirit and vigilance in their hearts had long been extinguished.

Thus, even if Yun Feixue was not this cautious, he would not have been discovered. In everyone's minds, this was the Hidden Dragon Palace where experts were as common as the clouds. There was no one who dared to enter here alone, unless he was crazy.

Of course, Yun Feixue was not crazy. He used his calmest state of mind to continuously jump above the buildings of the Hidden Dragon Palace. Before long, the three words' Pure Heart Palace 'appeared in Yun Feixue's line of sight.

At this point, he also displayed the third level of the Soul Art to the extreme. His own aura was completely concealed by the Soul Art, and in addition to his recent success in training, he placed the control of his breathing and the rate of his heartbeat at an extremely stable rate.

At this moment, Dongfang Jianxiong had already fallen asleep, so it was naturally impossible for Yun Feixue to enter the Pure Heart Palace. He took out the letter in his hand and used the window's gap to shoot it in.

"Who is it?!" A dignified voice passed through Ali from the Pure Heart Palace, and the locked door suddenly opened.

Dongfang Jianxiong walked out of the Pure Heart Palace like a awakened dragon in a long robe. There was no one outside, and only a brand-new letter in his hand swaying in the air.

"Your Majesty …" A sinister voice rang out from not too far away as an elderly eunuch hurried over. Following which, countless soldiers and guards rushed towards the Pure Heart Palace.

When he saw that there was no one around and the letter in his hand, Dongfang Jianxiong's expression became a bit gloomy.

"Alright, it's alright now. You can all go now!" Dongfang Jianxiong looked at the surrounding soldiers with a tired expression before waving his hand.

After everyone had left, Dongfang Jianxiong once again returned to the Pure Heart Palace. With the help of the glowing pearls in the room, he gloomily opened the letter.

As his gaze swept over them, Dongfang Jianxiong's expression became even more gloomy. This was because the name and series of events in the letter made him tremble with fear.

Yes, Yun Feixue did not exaggerate anything. He only wrote out those names and when they were appointed to those positions, because he had clearly written out all the events.

However, the only thing was that there was no direct evidence written on it, but Dongfang Jianxiong believed that this sort of thing was definitely not groundless. For this person to risk such a huge amount of risk just to give him this list of names just to frame some people, that was definitely not a wise move, because Dongfang Jianxiong himself would definitely investigate this personally.

More importantly, at the very end of the page, Liu Yong would obtain the first place in the National Education Examination in five days. This made Dongfang Jianxiong's heart beat even faster.

The Imperial College Entrance Examination was the most authoritative system set by the late emperor. As long as you had a certain level of learning experience, you could participate in it. The former emperor's intention was to discover talents among countless commoners.

It was a blessing for the Empire to see that there were quite a few talents appearing in the National Education Entrance Examination every year. The top few talents had even prepared an unimaginably generous reward for them, so they could encourage even more people to participate in this examination.

But now tell me, there are only five days left before the exam, and the first place has already been decided?

How unfair was this to other people with true knowledge, and how many hidden dangers did it add to the future of the empire?

"Your Majesty, although I was able to easily enter from the outside of the Hidden Dragon Palace and haven't been discovered by anyone, I still haven't reached the cultivation of the Zhen Yuan secret realm. You should think about this, what are these patrolling guards and the many masters doing in the palace, if there really is an assassin who wants to assassinate you, do you think you can escape? In other words, all the soldiers and generals of the Empire are doing it every day. Could it be that because of the lack of war for quite some years, they have already lost the courage and combat ability that they had in the past. If the enemy Empire chose to attack us at this time, what do you think is the probability of us being able to withstand it?! "

These were the last few words that Yun Feixue had written. Since he could easily arrive outside of the Pure Heart Palace where Dongfang Jianxiong was, these words were not excessive at all.

Dongfang Jianxiong's cultivation was also very strong, but just as Yun Feixue had said, if someone really wanted to assassinate him, then no matter how high his cultivation was, as long as he was outside the Pure Heart Palace, then he probably wouldn't be able to survive.

To put it more seriously, with the way these soldiers were doing things, if the enemy countries were to attack them, they would only be able to run away, losing all courage to even fight for their lives.

"Pa …"

Dongfang Jianxiong smacked the table. The entire table that was carved with fine patterns had been shattered into powder. He wasn't angry. He was angry because he had said something that he had never noticed before.

Dongfang Jianxiong was by no means a monarch; he was only focusing most of his attention on the lives of the people. At least, during his many years in power, the Hidden Dragon Empire rarely suffered from famine or starvation.

However, this letter revealed the many hidden dangers within the imperial court. No matter how much he cared about the people's livelihood, there was a problem with the government and the army. To put it seriously, it was a sign that the kingdom was about to fall.

"In five days, we will see how you, Liu Yong, managed to get first place in the National Education Examination." Dongfang Jianxiong was not stupid; he would never reveal this matter right now. He would quietly wait for the results of the National Education Entrance Examination five days from now. That way, he wouldn't even need to send anyone to investigate if this list was real or fake.
