After Lu Xingkong respectfully knelt down to pay his respects, he answered aloud: "Your Majesty, old minister did not know about this."
"Starry Sky Academy sends students to the illusion every year, the loss this time is the biggest in thousands of years." Chu Xianda said in a low voice, but the corners of his mouth were curved in a mocking smile. "I just received the name list, Li Muyang, the top student of my West Wind Kingdom's imperial exam, died in the illusion, it really is — — heartbreaking. If you knew this would happen, why did you do it? If he had come to my Westwind University to study, would such a thing happen? "
Lu Xingkong's heart suddenly sank, taking advantage of the moment he bowed his head to calm himself down, he said aloud: "Your Majesty is right. If Li Muyang had come to Westwind University to study, would such a tragedy have happened? Such a great talent had died young, it really is a shame to the Imperial Brush's selection. "
"Yes." Chu Xianda condescendingly looked at Lu Xingkong's expression. He was the Emperor, there was no way he could completely kick Lu Xingkong aside in terms of military power, but as long as it was in front of him, if he did not let the old guy get up, he would not be able to get up by himself.
Chu Xianda did not know when he started to like this kind of prank. Perhaps it was when he had tried many times to regain his military power but to no avail?
"Before I was very optimistic about this Li Muyang. I originally wanted to send him to Westwind University to further his studies for a few years. True gold also needs to be tempered by fire, and with the education and guidance of highly respected teachers, he will certainly become a pillar of my West Wind. Unfortunately, I don't know what happened in the middle, but this boy was admitted to Starry Sky Academy. "
Chu Xianda smiled meaningfully, looking at Lu Xingkong. "Defence minister, do you know about this?"
"Old minister knows that Li Muyang was admitted to Starry Sky Academy, but I don't know why he was admitted to Starry Sky Academy." Lu Xingkong said in a low voice. "Starry Sky Academy has its own rules, ordinary people cannot affect the results, Your Majesty should be clear about this."
"Is that so? But as far as I know, Li Muyang's parents and relatives have been taken to the Lu residence. I heard that your two families had a good relationship a few years ago? "
Lu Xingkong looked up at Chu Xianda and said calmly and fearlessly: "Li Muyang is indebted to West Wind, it was he who stepped forward bravely when the country was being framed. If it were not for his help, our West Wind Kingdom would have lost another General. General Xu Da is also a good friend of mine. I am very happy that he is able to live and serve the country. "
"Li Muyang saved Xu Da for the country and the people, but he was also hated by some bad people. Regardless of the country's situation or human feelings, I should take care of Li Muyang's family. However, it is quite a coincidence that Li Muyang's mother was a maid who left my Lu Residence over ten years ago. The maidservant had an affair with the family's coachman, which was not tolerated by the manor's rules. She should be punished severely. In order to protect them, his daughter-in-law was kind and quietly drove him out of the Lu Mansion to find a way to survive on her own. Later, when I heard that their family was in trouble, my daughter-in-law personally went to Jiangnan to bring them back to the manor. The relationship between master and servant is so deep. "
Chu Xianda knitted his brows in a frown.
He already knew about the things that Lu Xingkong said. Someone had already inquired about the details and reported it to him.
Including that the daughter-in-law of the Lu Mansion personally went to Jiangnan City to pick them up, that family was now living in the Lu Mansion, and that even the Cui family could not retaliate.
He felt that there must be something hidden, but what kind of secret was hidden, it was not something he could guess.
Thinking that he had been deceived by these people, he felt that he, as the Emperor, was somewhat tasteless and suffocating.
"This group of old dogs — —" Chu Xianda cursed in his heart. "Do you think I'm stupid? Sooner or later I will slaughter you and eat your meat. "
Of course, he naturally would not show it on his face.
Lu Xingkong insisted that Li Muyang was the hero of the country, and that even his Monitoring Division could not hold him accountable for his crimes. Who told Cui Zhaoren to not do things well and let him escape and leave behind such a big tail?
Chu Xianda did not want to argue with Lu Xingkong on this matter. This was the truth, and everyone had their own conclusions.
Looking at Lu Xingkong kneeling in front of him, he said: "He is after all a student of my West Wind Kingdom, I have to send a message to inquire. Who does Defence minister think should be assigned to handle this matter? "
"Your Majesty will decide."
"Well. The dead cannot be brought back to life. Although it's a pity, but there's nothing we can do. " Chu Xianda gently sighed. "I will hand this matter over to someone else, Defence minister do not have to worry. It's more important to take care of yourself. By the way, why did Defence minister come here? You see, because of the news of Li Muyang's death, we almost forgot about the important matter. "
From the beginning to the end, Lu Xingkong had been kneeling and replying.
Of course, Chu Xianda dared not be too domineering. Lu Xingkong was an important minister of the country, and had a huge influence on the army of the Kingdom. If he were to be humiliated, he would most likely gain the notoriety of a 'ruthless ruler'.
Chu Xianda seemed to have just remembered this matter, hurriedly bent down to help Lu Xingkong up, saying apologetically: "Defence minister, please get up. Why are you still kneeling on the ground? Xianda has said this many times. These formalities can be avoided, you and I know each other, we are not outsiders? "
"There is order in the hierarchy, etiquette cannot be abolished." Lu Xingkong tidied up his robe and wanted to get up from the ground.
Just as he got up, he suddenly felt dizzy.
Plop!
Everything turned black, and Lu Xingkong's body suddenly plopped to the ground.
"Defence minister — — Defence minister — —" Chu Xianda hurriedly shouted.
Lu Xingkong did not respond.
Chu Xianda shouted: "Someone, quickly call the imperial doctor, quickly call the imperial doctor — — Li Fu, you're dead? Quickly call the imperial doctor. "
Li Fu and a group of servants hurriedly rushed in, and then several people hurriedly ran out.
Looking at Lu Xingkong lying on the ground in front of him, Chu Xianda's face was ashen.
"This old dog, this old dog — — dares to harm me."

Inside a luxurious carriage made of fine iron. There were experts guarding him from all directions, protecting him tightly in the middle.
Although this was the foot of the Emperor, an important place in the capital, but the identity of the owner of the carriage was extraordinary, and naturally could not be careless.
Lu Xingkong sat on the soft mattress of the carriage, his eyes flashing with lightning.
The wheels rolled, but did not say a word.
The convoy sped all the way, and when they arrived at the Lu mansion, there were already dozens of generals and soldiers waiting at the door.
Seeing the carriage coming, the dozens of generals quickly sprinted over to the carriage, tightly surrounding Lu Xingkong's carriage.
"General, are you all right?"
"General, is there anything wrong with your body? General — — "
"That man insulted General, I feel the same way, I must — —"
※ ※ ※
Hua!
The curtain was forcefully pulled open, and Lu Xingkong bent over and squeezed out.
His tall body stood on the shaft of the carriage, sweeping a cold glance across the crowd, and said in a low voice: "Let's talk in the mansion."
With that, he strode down the carriage.
More than a dozen generals followed behind, escorting Lu Xingkong toward the Lu mansion.
In the distance, two black-robed servants, upon seeing this scene, turned and walked deeper into the alley.
