Murong Yefeng is two years younger than Zhang Ruochen and is also extremely talented. He is the number one genius in the Murong family.
The head of the Murong family sent him to Zhang Ruochen to be a bookboy. In fact, he wanted to take this opportunity to train him, to get him close to Zhang Ruochen, to cultivate a good relationship with Zhang Ruochen, and to take over the position of the head of the family in the future.
If the future head of the Murong family can become friends with the future monarch of the Shengming Central Empire, it will naturally be of infinite benefit to the Murong family.
The relationship between Murong Yefeng and Zhang Ruochen was indeed very good, and Zhang Ruochen had never regarded him as a book boy.
At that time, Zhang Ruochen, Chi Yao, Murong Yefeng, and Kong Lanyou were in the academy, attended classes together, and practiced martial arts together. Among them, Murong Yefeng was the youngest, so he naturally received the most care.
If Zhang Ruochen had one friend in his previous life, it was probably Murong Ye Feng.
Therefore, when Zhang Ruochen learned that Orange Moon Star Envoy was a descendant of the Murong family, he immediately thought of his old friend.
Eight hundred years have passed, and I wonder if he is still alive?
After a long time, Zhang Ruochen came back to his senses from his thoughts and asked: "Who are you, Murong Ye Feng?"
Orange Moon Star Envoy saw that Zhang Ruochen had a strange look on his face, and then recalled her speculation about Zhang Ruochen. She immediately took back the holy energy in her hand and said, "He is the supreme ancestor of the Murong family."
"Is he still alive?" Zhang Ruochen asked.
"I am not sure as well."
Orange Moon Star Envoy shook his head and said: "The Supreme Patriarch has not appeared for more than three hundred years. Even some elders of the Murong family don't know whether he is alive or dead."
After hesitating for a moment, she finally expressed her suspicion and said, "Zhang Ruochen, actually, I have always had a question in my mind that I want to ask you."
"Ask!" Zhang Ruochen said.
Orange Moon Star envoy said: "Your name is Zhang Ruochen. Eight hundred years ago, the crown prince of the Shengming Central Empire was also named Zhang Ruochen. Isn't it just a coincidence between the two?"
Zhang Ruochen asked: "What do you think?"
"Eight hundred years ago, there was a public case. The mysterious death of Crown Prince Shengming shocked the world for a while."
"At that time, there were two kinds of rumors. In one of them, some people said that he was killed by his fiancée, Princess Chi Yao. Therefore, the battle between the Shengming Central Empire and the Qingchi Central Empire lasted for fifty-seven years."
"Another theory is that he was killed by his cousin Princess Peacock. Therefore, after Emperor Ming disappeared, Peacock Villa immediately took over the power of the Shengming Central Empire and became the controller of the empire."
"Even the history books have records that Crown Prince Shengming and Emperor Ming were killed by a conspiracy carefully designed by Peacock Villa. Emperor Qing and Princess Chi Yao of the Qingchi Central Empire attacked the Shengming Central Empire solely to avenge them."
"Although there are different opinions, no one has found the bodies of Crown Prince Shengming and Emperor Ming. No one knows what the truth is."
Orange Moon Star Envoy continued: "Our ancestor of the Murong family spent hundreds of years tracing the truth, but in the end he did not find any results."
"In the end, Taishang Patriarch had no choice but to lead the ruined Murong family and flee into the black market to avoid being pursued by the imperial court and Mingtang."
Zhang Ruochen's eyes shrank, he suddenly raised his head and said, "Why is Mingtang going after the Murong family? Isn't Mingtang formed by the old members of the Shengming Central Empire? Why don't you unite and fight against Chi Yao together?"
Orange Moon Star Envoy snorted coldly and said: "Back then, Emperor Ming disappeared, the prince was assassinated, and the entire Shengming Central Empire was in chaos. The owner of Peacock Villa, Kong Shanling, united with a large number of courtiers, took over the government with thunderous power, and entered
Lord Ming Emperor’s Palace.”
"At that time, the head of our Murong family, Murong Chengde, was one of the three princes of the Shengming Central Empire and was worshiped as the 'Taifu'. The head of the Murong family was very dissatisfied with Kong Shanling's behavior and thought that he was treasonous and should support the head of the Zhang family.
A new member is the new king. Unfortunately, he was suppressed by Kong Shangli, and I don’t know how many disciples of the Murong family were persecuted."
"Later, the Shengming Central Empire was eventually defeated by the Qingchi Central Empire's army, and both the Peacock Villa and the Murong Family became slaves of subjugation."
"The army of the Central Empire of Qingchi broke through Ming Emperor City. The children of the Murong family fought until the last moment. More than 70% of the clan members were killed in the battle. In the end, they had no choice but to retreat to the evil land of the Eastern Region and hide in the black market."
"Kong Shanngling and the clansmen of Peacock Villa led some remaining old tribes to form Mingtang and continued to fight against Queen Chi Yao in the Central Region."
"At the beginning, if it were not for the protection of the Evil Emperor, the Murong family would have been completely destroyed long ago. Di Yi is a descendant of the evil way, and the reason why the Murong family fully supported him as the young master is to repay the kindness of the evil emperor."
Although Orange Moon Star Envoys have never witnessed the glory of the Holy Ming Central Empire in the past, they often hear their ancestors mention it and pass it down from generation to generation.
Zhang Ruochen had been observing Orange Moon Star Envoy's eyes from beginning to end, and it could be seen that she was not lying, and every word she said should be the truth as she knew it.
If what she told is true, then could the disappearance of her father, Emperor Ming, really be related to Peacock Villa?
But Zhang Ruochen had met Kong Lanyou once, and he could see that she still remembered her past feelings, and it didn't seem like she was being hypocritical.
After all, Orange Moon Star Envoy is just a junior member of the Murong family, and what she knows may not be the truth.
Eight hundred years ago, Kong Lanyou was just a teenage girl. Even if Peacock Villa coveted the imperial power and really devised a conspiracy to assassinate Emperor Ming, it would definitely have nothing to do with her.
However, she was indeed by the side when Chi Yao killed Zhang Ruochen.
Who is telling the truth? Who is covering up the truth?
Or is it that what Orange Moon Star Envoy and Kong Lanyou told are all facts, but there are some unknown secrets behind the facts?
"The human heart is really difficult to understand."
Eight hundred years ago, the public case of "The Crown Prince was assassinated, and Emperor Ming remained the same" in the Ming Emperor's Palace is still confusing eight hundred years later.
Zhang Ruochen's eyes were full of fog. If he wanted to find out the truth, he could only rely on himself to dig slowly.
With his current level of cultivation, both the Murong family and Mingtang are giants and can easily kill him.
Before finding out the truth, if he rashly reveals his identity, it is very likely that he will fall into an irreversible situation.
"At least we have to wait until the semi-saint realm before trying to contact them proactively." Zhang Ruochen secretly made a decision.
Only when you reach Half-Saint can you truly have the ability to protect yourself.
Orange Moon Star Envoy stared at Zhang Ruochen closely and said: "Eight hundred years ago, Crown Prince Shengming was assassinated, but his body was missing. Zhang Ruochen, you are the descendant of time and space. Since you can control time and space, will you be able to control time and space from eight hundred years ago?"
A hundred years ago, eight hundred years later?”
Zhang Ruochen smiled and said: "Do you really think that the power of time is so easy to control? With my current level of cultivation, it is impossible to do it even across a moment, let alone a span of eight hundred years."
"So, where is your master?" Orange Moon Star envoy asked.
"My master?"
"That's right. You are a descendant of time and space. Since you are a descendant, there must be a master who taught you the secrets of time and space, right? Can his power span the long river of time?"
Zhang Ruochen suddenly fell silent.
If he really wanted to find a master who taught him the power of time and space, I'm afraid that person should be Saint Monk Sumeru.
With Saint Monk Xumi's attainments in the power of time, it is really possible to transport his soul eight hundred years into the future.
Is it really him?
Zhang Ruochen took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and said, "What exactly are you asking?"
Orange Moon Star Envoy continued to ask: "Are you Crown Prince Shengming?"
"If you think it is, then so be it!" Zhang Ruochen murmured.
Orange Moon Star made his whole body tremble slightly as if he was electrocuted.
Although Zhang Ruochen only said something specious and did not directly admit it. However, the Orange Moon Star Envoy knew that if Zhang Ruochen was not the Shengming Crown Prince, he would definitely deny it immediately. Instead of answering like this now.
The Crown Prince Shengming eight hundred years ago was not dead.
If this news spreads, it will definitely attract countless old members of the Shengming Central Empire, and the entire Kunlun world will probably be shaken.
"Boom"
Orange Moon Star Envoy immediately knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists with both hands, saluted Zhang Ruochen, and said: "Meet the Crown Prince."
Zhang Ruochen glanced at her and said: "You don't need to salute me. I never said that I was the Crown Prince of Shengming. Besides, even if I were, there would have been no Shengming Central Empire in this world, and there would have been no Crown Prince for a long time.
"
"No."
Orange Moon Star envoy said: "Although the Shengming Central Empire has been destroyed, there are still many old ministers and officials active in the Kunlun Realm. If they know that you are still alive, they will definitely be very happy."
"At least, our Murong family has always been loyal to the Shengming Central Empire without any second thoughts. As long as the prince says a word, we will follow him to the death and rebuild the Shengming Central Empire together with the prince."
The Shengming Central Empire has a history of 63,000 years, and has always been ruled by the Zhang family. Such a long period of time has of course produced many loyal ministers and servants.
Zhang Ruochen believes that even if eight hundred years have passed, there will still be many people who are still loyal to the Zhang family.
But with his current level of cultivation, is it really a good thing to reveal the identity of Crown Prince Shengming in such a big way?
Zhang Ruochen shook his head, but still insisted on his previous idea. Before finding out the truth about eight hundred years ago, his identity must not be exposed.
"You get up first." Zhang Ruochen said.
Orange Moon Star Envoy stood up, still quite excited, and said: "Your Highness, please come back to the Murong Family with me. If the elders in the family know that you are still alive, they will definitely be very happy."
Zhang Ruochen shook his head and said: "Without my permission, you cannot tell anyone my identity, including the old people from the Murong family."
"Why?" Orange Moon Star Envoy was quite puzzled.
Zhang Ruochen said: "There is no reason. You must swear to the gods now that you will never reveal a word about my identity to the outside world. Of course, you can also choose not to swear. However, in order to keep the secret, I can only tell you
Imprisoned in the picture scroll world."
"Okay, I swear."
Orange Moon Star Envoy was not a stupid person. He quickly understood Zhang Ruochen's concerns and immediately made a vow.
When Zhang Ruochen saw Cheng Yuexing finished his oath, he nodded slightly and said unhurriedly: "Now, I have two things that I need you to do."
Orange Moon Star Envoy stood aside and listened carefully.
"The first thing I want you to do is go back to the Black Market Yipin Hall and compete for the position of young master."
"After Emperor Yi's death, the Black Market First Grade Hall will definitely select another young master. You and the Red Desire Star Envoy have the best chance. Relatively speaking, I hope that you will become the young master."
"The second thing is that the undead vampires have broken the seal and escaped from Manji Island."
"I hope that when you return to the black market, you will spread the news immediately so that all the major forces in Kunlun Realm will be alert in advance."
