Chapter 636
Murong Yefeng, who was two years younger than Zhang Ruochen, was also very talented, and he was the first genius of the Murong family .
The leader of the Murong family sent him to be Zhang Ruochen's apprentice . He wanted the boy to take this opportunity to train with him . He hoped he could get to know Zhang Ruochen and cultivate a good relationship with him . Then, one day, Murong Yefeng could take over as family leader .
If the future leader of Murong family could make friends with the future Sacred Central Emperor, endless benefit would definitely be brought to the whole family .
Murong Yefeng had a really strong relationship with Zhang Ruochen, and he never regarded him as a servant .
Zhang Ruochen, Chi Yao, Murong Yefeng, and Kong Lanyou were listening to classes and practicing Martial Arts together in the academy . Murong Yefeng was the youngest and received the most care .
If Zhang Ruochen had a friend in the last lifetime, then it certainly was Murong Yefeng .
Therefore, when Zhang Ruochen learned that the Orange Star Emissary was a descendant of the Murong family, he thought of his old friend immediately .
Eight hundred years had passed . Zhang Ruochen wondered whether Murong Yunfeng was dead or alive .
It took a long time for Zhang Ruochen to collect himself . Then, he said, "What's your relationship with Murong Yefeng?"
The Orange Star Emissary noticed the strange expression on Zhang Ruochen's face and remembered her earlier speculations about him . She recalled the Holy Qi on her hand at once, replying, "He is the Highest Elder Lord of the Murong family . "
"Is he still alive?" Zhang Ruochen asked .
"I have no idea . "
She shook her head and added, "The Highest Elder Lord hasn't presented himself physically for over 300 years . Even some Murong elders don't know whether he is alive or dead . "
With some hesitation, she finally decided to speak the doubt in her mind . She said, "Zhang Ruochen, actually, I have a question to ask you . "
"Go ahead!" Zhang Ruochen replied .
Orange Star Emissary said," Your name is Zhang Ruochen . Eight hundred years ago, the Crown Prince of the Sacred Central Empire was also named Zhang Ruochen . It's not just a coincidence, is it?"
Zhang Ruochen asked, "What do you think?"
"Eight hundred years ago, the Crown Prince died mysteriously . The world was shocked with consternation for a little while .
"At the time, two rumors appeared . One said he was killed by his fiancee, Princess Chi Yao . So, it led to a 57-year battle between Sacred Central Empire and Qingchi Central Empire .
"The other rumor was that he was killed by his cousin, Princess Peacock . Soon after the diappearance of the Emperor, Peacock Mountain Village took over the power of Sacred Central Empire and became the ruler of the Empire .
"It's even recorded in the history books that the Crown Prince and Emperor Ming were killed by schemes of the Peacock Mountain Village . Emperor Qing and Princess Chi Yao of Qingchi Central Empire attacked Sacred Central Empire to avenge the murder of Zhang Ruochen .
"Although there are many opinions, the dead bodies of the Crown Prince and Emperor Ming were never recovered . No one knows what actually happened . "
The Orange Star Emissary continued . "The Highest Elder Lord of our Murong family spent hundreds of years pursuing the truth, but it was in vain .
"In the end, the he had no choice but to lead the broken Murong family to flee into the Black Market in order to avoid being killed by the imperial court and Ming Hall . "
Zhang Ruchen narrowed his eyes and suddenly raised his head . He said, "Why did Ming Hall chase and kill the Murong family? Wasn't Ming Hall built by former subordinates of Sacred Cental Empire? Why didn't all of you join together to defy Chi Yao?"
Orange Star Emissary snorted and said, "At that time, Emperor Ming disappeared, and the prince was killed . The whole Sacred Central Empire was left in chaos . Kong Shangling, the Manager of Peacock Mountain Village, allied with a crew of courtiers to take over the administration and occupancy of Emperor Ming's Palace . "
"The leader of the Murongs, Murong Chengde, was one of Three Ducal Ministers of Sacred Central Empire . He took the title of 'Grand Preceptor . ' Murong Chengde was totally disgusted with Kong Shangling's behavior . He reprimanded him for treason and heresy, and he proposed that a new member of Zhang family should be a new king . Unfortunately, it was suppressed by Kong Shangling, and countless disciples of the Murong family were persecuted .
"Later, the Sacred Central Empire was defeated by the army of Qingchi Central Empire . Everyone, whether Peacock Mountain Villager or Murong family, became enslaved and subjugated . "
"When Qingchi Central Empire's army force breached the wall of Emperor Ming's city, all the descendants of the Murong family fought to the end . More than 70% of them died . Finally, the rest were forced to retreat to Eastern Evil Land and hide themselves in the Black Market .
"Kong Shangling and the members of Peacock Mountain Village led some remaining subordinates to form Ming Hall to fight against Empress Chi Yao in the Central Region .
"Without the shield of the Evil Emperor, the Murong family would have been destroyed completely . Di Yi was the descendant of the Evil Emperor . The reason why the Murong family fully supported him to be the young master was to repay the kindness of the Evil Emperor . "
Although the Orange Star Emissary had never witnessed the glory of Sacred Central Empire, it had been mentioned by her grandparents and passed down from generation to generation .
Zhang Ruochen had been observing the Orange Star Emissary's eyes . She did not appear to be lying, and every word she said was the truth as she knew it .
If what she said was true, had the disappearance of Emperor Ming really been related to Peacock Mountain Village?
However, Zhang Ruochen had only seen Kong Lanyou once . He knew that she held her former feelings, and she did contrive them falsely .
After all, the Orange Star Emissary was just a junior of the Murong family . The things she knew were not necessarily the truth .
Eight hundred years ago, Kong Lanyou had just been a teenage girl . Even if Peacock Mountain Village had cast greedy eyes on imperial power and plotted to kill Emperor Ming, it had nothing to do with her .
However, when Chi Yao killed Zhang Ruochen, she had been there .
Who was telling the truth? Who was hiding?
Or maybe both sides were right, but some unknown secrets lurked behind the scenes .
"It is very hard to undertand a person's heart . "
The case of "The assassinated Prince and missing Emperor" had happened eight hundred years ago, and it was still complicated and confusing .
