Some people lived in the lower rooms, some set up stalls nearby, and a few went out to inquire about the imperial estate.
It is expected that they will make their move against Huangzhuang within the next couple of days.
"Targeting the Imperial Estate? Songshan secretly returned to the capital for something inside?"
As soon as Yue Fuguang uttered those words, the Great Yan court fell into complete silence! Only heavy breathing and the rustling of clothes as someone shifted uncomfortably could be heard.
Emperor Mingxi, who was performing a stand-up comedy routine, suddenly became like a goose with its neck being choked; no matter how fierce or brave he was, he couldn't make a sound for a moment.
Several people's faces turned pale instantly, and cold sweat dripped down their foreheads. They all knew what the contents inside meant for the people of Dayan now and three years from now.
If something goes wrong with what's inside, not only will we have to worry about how the emperor will deal with them, but even the Junior Tutor, who has gradually changed his opinion of them, will probably run away with the bucket.
After all, he said he wouldn't play with trash!
While the emperor and his ministers of Dayan were filled with fear, everyone couldn't help but ask the same question in their hearts: How did the Dongyi people know that good things were growing in the imperial estate?
Although the private fields of emperors in various countries were planted with exotic flowers, rare herbs, and unusual fruits and trees that were not commonly seen in the outside world.
Because of its 'uniqueness,' it was destined to be enjoyed by only a few. Therefore, even if one was curious, no member of the royal family would easily touch the things in the royal estates of other countries.
Since Songshan wants to take over the imperial estate, it must be because he's after the high-yield, high-quality seeds.
So the question is, who told him this news?
At this point, Emperor Mingxi, who had calmed down a little, saw problems in everyone.
He sat upright on his high throne, his somber gaze slowly sweeping over the officials who bowed their heads and lowered their eyes.
The emperor's majesty was overwhelming, pressing down on the hundred or so people, making the air so still it seemed as if you could wring water out of it.
The cold sweat on the foreheads of Wang Shoushen, Huo Ying, Cai Xian, and others was even more intense than the three-day-long spring rain outside the palace.
The silence at this moment is more unsettling than thunder; it is the calm before the storm.
Ignoring the tense atmosphere, Moonlight and the System continued their conversation, "[It really is for the potatoes inside.]"
These idiots have no idea that besides potatoes, there's something else in there that's just as good as potatoes.
However, with only a dozen or so under his command, stealing potatoes from Chen Jian and his men's tight security was still a rather challenging task.
"Little Bead, you're actually worrying about him!"
【Oh dear, Master, life's been so boring! I'll livestream those shorty bastards from Songshan stealing the imperial estate!】
Everyone was both helpless and confused, as the divine artifact was speaking in a language they couldn't understand.
Even if they don't understand, what is live streaming?
Listening closely, it seemed these two old men talked for ages, but not one of them thought to give them a heads-up. Could it be that they were incompetent and disappointed the little immortal lord again?
"Watching the Dongyi people steal vegetables? Sounds pretty fun!"
Since the system was upgraded to level four, Yue Fuguang has not used the live streaming function, but this time she can give it a try.
It's unclear whether Wei Ping and his group will arrest the person now or play the long game to catch a bigger fish.
Everyone: So "live broadcast" means "watching"? The Junior Tutor is going to watch? Should they arrest that person now or not?
Wei Ping and Cai Xian cautiously looked at their emperor.
The two men felt a great weight lifted off their shoulders, because their emperor's expression was much better than before.
Emperor Mingxi saw the two's little actions and wanted to snort, but he was afraid that Yue Fuguang would misunderstand, so he held back.
"Little Pearl, now that you've talked about Songshan, tell me where Feng Yang is hiding?"
【Master, Feng Yang is even better at hiding. He's currently hiding in the Great Buddha Temple.】
Dafosi Temple? Wei Ping and Cai Xian exchanged a glance. They had led their men to all the temples and Taoist monasteries near the capital.
No suspicious persons were found at the Great Buddha Temple. Could it be that they overlooked it again due to negligence?
"Are you talking about the temple that's as famous as the Baoye Temple, where my grandfather stole the Golden Lotus Seeds?"
Yu Chongshan: Alright, the secret that has been hidden for decades is now known to the entire court!
What a wonderful granddaughter! She's so filial to her grandfather!
Yu Chongshan couldn't help but blush; he hadn't felt this embarrassed in a long time!
The three Yu brothers couldn't help but twitch at the corners of their mouths. They had unexpectedly learned their father's secret today. Would the old man take his anger out on them?
After all, Grandpa Jin Geda wouldn't complain at all.
"That's the place. This time, his method of hiding is different from before. Now, Feng Yang has taken the Dharma name Feng and is a licensed, legal wandering monk."
By temporarily staying at the Great Buddha Temple under the guise of a guesthouse, he not only received free food and lodging but also evaded numerous searches by the imperial court.
"Mortals don't value their hair much. He shaved himself, but he can't grow flowing long hair like us immortals with magic.
He made quite a sacrifice to find refuge!
Can a deity really grow hair with a single spell? This is something that middle-aged and elderly people, whose hair has grown short from excessive mental exertion and can barely hold a hairpin, are now incredibly envious of!
Many others felt that it was another day the young master's focus had gone astray.
Feng Yang's public identity in Xiqiang was that of a monk, but he always used a stand-in.
He is now doing this for the sake of convenience, hiding in the Great Buddha Temple not only to cover his identity, but also because the temple keeper of the Great Buddha Temple is also an undercover agent of the Wind and Rain Pavilion.
Master, besides dealing with Luo Feng's capture and rebuilding the headquarters of the Dayan Fengyu Pavilion, Feng Yang has another purpose in coming to the capital. Can you guess what it is?
Yue Fuguang stroked her chin, recalling the chaos in the capital before the Crown Prince's wedding, "Is it aimed at me?"
[Yes and no. Tonight, Feng Yang will order all the assassins from Fengyu Pavilion in the capital to split into three groups. One group will set fire to the East Market to attract the attention and defense forces of the entire city.]
They will wait for an opportunity to sneak into the mansion and kidnap you. If they can't take you alive, they'll take you dead.
Finally, he led a group of men to sneak into Xuanwei Prefecture and steal potato seedlings.
"Well planned! But he's too audacious, daring to covet my life. Well then, let him not leave alive!"
"Little Pearl, keep an eye on things tonight. Once everyone from the Wind and Rain Pavilion has come out, if the Dayan soldiers are incompetent and can't capture Feng Yang, remember to finish him off."
Yue Fuguang had already opened his eyes and saw the sunlight filtering through the windows of the main hall, casting dappled patterns that added a touch of vibrancy to the purple, scarlet, blue, and green official robes.
"The spring scenery is so beautiful, it's the perfect time to send him on his way."
Everyone detected a hint of killing intent in the Junior Tutor's calm words.
Master, Little Bead will be live-streaming for you!
Wei Ping and Cai Xian exchanged a glance. Feng Yang could not be allowed to stay.
At this moment, Emperor Mingxi's anger was also rising rapidly. It was one thing for these two people to covet his potatoes, but they had actually tried to kidnap his family's young tutor time and time again.
