Looking at Emperor Mingxi's somewhat resentful yet hesitant back, wanting to urge him to update but not daring to, I couldn't help but laugh!
Yue Fuguang lay back in the carriage. After seeing the emperor off, she could finally go home!
Seeing her smug expression, the system couldn't help but say, "Host, isn't it a bit too much of a nuisance to stop updating here?"
Yue Fuguang said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, they wouldn't dare retaliate against us, would they? At most, they'll just subtly urge us to update!"
Before she even landed, the system in her mind sounded an alarm: [Enemy attack! Shield activated!]
As the system finished speaking, Yue Fuguang heard a clattering sound in her ears, and then the carriage began to sway.
At the same time, the voices of Wei Shouyi, Huo Ying, and others rang out outside, "Protect the Junior Tutor!"
Yue Fuguang remained calm, mainly because the system gave her courage.
He even had the mind to ask, "System, was that 'thump-thump' sound just now the sound of an arrow hitting the carriage?"
Yes, what's wrong?
"Were their aim a bit off? Why didn't any arrows come in through the window? But luckily, my second sister and the others didn't ride in the same carriage as me on their way back."
Otherwise, wouldn't we become the target of everyone's criticism?
The windows were covered by my rain cover, so of course they couldn't shoot in. We're supposed to be playing ordinary people, and we're also trying to fish, so of course we can't reveal our strength too early.
That's why they deliberately let some arrows slip through, allowing them to hit the sturdy parts of the vehicle.
Moonlight praised, "You've really thought of everything, haven't you!"
The system continued, "[Host, guess whose people are coming this time?]"
"Could it be someone from the Four Nations Alliance Moon-Picking Organization that escaped last time?" he said, preparing to get out of the car.
She could see her grandfather, father, and others surrounding her carriage, protecting her.
Speaking of this alliance, Yue Fuguang felt frustrated. Last time, after she gave Wei Ping the True Word Pill, he did manage to get those people to talk after using the pill.
Because of their identities, they didn't know much of the truth.
But that was enough for Wei Ping and his team to make a rough deduction.
That assassination attempt involved three groups: a group of assassins from the Qi Prince's mansion, a group of assassins from You Tan, and a group of spies and assassins sent by the four kingdoms.
They also gave the organization a temporary name, "Moon-Picking Alliance," and called the assassination attempt on her "Operation Sunrise."
Because of the 'new moon', the moon rises and sets almost at the same time as the sun, making it difficult to see the moon at night; she is that moon.
Without the moon, there is no existence for her. This meaning is both metaphorical and clear. The person who named her, Moon Floating Light, is praised as a talented person!
According to the two men, their organization had nearly a hundred assassins involved in the operation, and even including the two of them, the loss was only sixteen or seventeen people.
That means there are still seventy or eighty people eyeing her life, so Yue Fuguang's first guess was the Zhaiyue Alliance.
The situation outside was chaotic, especially near the carriage with the moonlight, where dozens of people were fighting to the death.
The other adults' cars looked fine, which alone proves that the killer was indeed after her.
The assassin chose a good location, far enough away from the palace. Even if the emperor received the news and came to the rescue, it would take him two or three cups of tea's time.
This place is located in the middle of East Street, and both ends are guarded by assassins with crossbows, who want to trap us like turtles in a jar!
Their escorts for this trip were almost all the Emperor's Imperial Guards. They withdrew once they entered the Imperial City. No one expected that among the dozen or so civil and military officials in the court, someone would dare to carry out an assassination attempt in front of so many people!
Assassin: We're targeting your 'unexpected' moments! The leader said this is called a surprise attack!
Moonlight: Your leader is quite cultured!
The moment Yue Fuguang saw the scene outside, she instantly switched into her dramatic persona, "Little Pearl, judging from the situation, they're coming for me?"
At this moment, the number of people on both sides in the field was roughly equal, around seventy or eighty, plus a dozen or so horse-drawn carriages, blocking the fairly wide street from front to back.
The innermost layer consisted of the Yu family father and son, who were mainly responsible for blocking crossbow bolts and arrows. The next layer consisted of Wei Ping, Cai Xian, and a group of civil officials.
Leading the charge with military force were Huo Ying, Wei Shouyi, and a group of other military officers... Among them was also an imperial censor named Feng Tang!
"Master, they came for you. Master, guess who sent them this time?" The system replied smoothly, restarting their previous conversation.
"Is it the Four Nations Alliance or the You Tan Organization?"
No, that's not it!
"No? I have a new enemy. Who is it?"
It couldn't possibly be one of the four great families that were just wiped out, but apart from those who can hear the inner voices, no one knows that this matter is related to Yue Fuguang!
Those people were all carefully selected. Even if they had some problems, they wouldn't collude with foreign powers, and their high level of goodwill towards her further indicated that they wouldn't betray her.
Finally, and most importantly, they couldn't say much.
Although Wei Ping, Huo Ying, and the others at the front were unaware of the favorability rating system, their basic thoughts were the same as Yue Fuguang's.
Wei Ping said to Huo Ying and the others, "Minister Huo, General Wei, please spare their lives!"
Despite being an imperial censor, Feng Tang is no pushover; he's a formidable figure with both martial prowess and sharp wit.
With a swift movement, he slashed at his opponent's limbs, and in no time, he kicked the man away, sending him flying into the inner circle at Wei Ping's feet.
"Lord Wei, keep him alive!"
Seeing his swift and skillful movements, Yue Fuguang didn't hesitate to praise his loyal fan, "Lord Feng, your kung fu is truly superb!"
The system also commented, "Master, this Fengtang is quite good. He's always respectful to you. You can take him on as a subordinate!"
Yue Fuguang said, "We'll talk about that later. First, tell me how I guessed wrong!"
Upon hearing their words, Feng Tang's face flushed with excitement, and he was now as energetic as if he had been injected with chicken blood, his martial arts skills instantly skyrocketing.
If there were an emoji to describe him at this moment, the most fitting one would be "Hunting Moment!"
The inexperienced Wu Yong was so envious and jealous that his eyes turned red.
This enshrinement was first a contest with his own father, and later a contest with himself for the position of the most important person in front of the Junior Tutor.
Both of them are praising him now, and they almost accepted him on the spot!
Wu Yong looked at his own obese figure. Although he considered himself a nimble fat man, his fighting skills were no match for his opponent's.
Then we'll have to find another way!
[Master, this assassin is one of King Qi's men!]
"King Qi? Wasn't he dead? Has he risen from the dead?"
[It's not a case of the corpse rising from the dead. Is it possible that King Qi is not actually dead?]
"No, he died of poisoning. Wei Ping and the others personally examined him. How could they mistake him for someone else?"
This has to be said that King Qi was lucky. Ten years ago, he met someone who looked almost exactly like him, even though they weren't twins.
The two looked so alike that even Princess Qi might not be able to tell them apart in person.
To maintain consistency, King Qi removed all the obvious moles from both his own and his companions' bodies, so it's not surprising that Wei Ping and his group were able to mistake one for the other.
