She couldn't stand these two! Murong Xinghua sighed secretly.
If it was in the past, she might have learned from Xu Tangran. Women had an advantage in gaining sympathy in this aspect. But now, she didn't because she wanted to turn over a new leaf!
It was always difficult to turn over a new leaf. She had to be prepared to face things that were disadvantageous to her!
One of her hands was also crippled, so there was no need for her to cup her fists. She simply placed her palm on her chest and replied, "I have just returned from the examination and am reporting to the Great Commander!" She was neither servile nor overbearing, exuding a heroic aura.
Kou Wenlan cast a spell to forcibly disperse her tears. She nodded and said hoarsely, "Good, good, good! It's good that you're back! "
She lost her composure in public, but her emotions were really a little out of control because of her two subordinates.
If it wasn't for the fact that she saw other people returning to resolve her emotions, Kou Wenlan's emotions would have been hard to calm down. It wasn't without reason that they called her a sissy.
Under the crowd's charge, Qiu Danghai and the others really couldn't stop so many people. In addition, Hui Qingyan and Fan Yufei fought to the death. How many could Qiu Danghai, Pang Linggong and the others stop at one time? As expected, many commanders who participated in the assessment took the opportunity to rush back. It was a blessing in disguise.
Naturally, their masters also rushed out of the crowd to personally welcome them. However, what made those masters sick of it was that they didn't see the heart-warming scene of Kou Wenlan and her subordinates meeting. Their subordinates seemed to be a little timid, as if they didn't dare to see them. Compared to Kou Wenlan's subordinates, it was like heaven and earth.
The scene of them following Kou Wenlan's lead and going forward to welcome them warmly became awkward. The masters and subordinates were really estranged. They couldn't act even if they wanted to.
A few masters felt a little embarrassed because of this. Look at Kou Wenlan's real subordinates. What kind of people were their own subordinates? They were obviously not as loyal as Kou Wenlan's subordinates. It was really a joke.
Little did they know that because of the criminals, they were 'short of money'! The commanders who were lucky enough to return were afraid that they wouldn't be able to report to their masters! Naturally, they were a little timid. But they had no choice. The enemy was fierce. It was good enough that they could come back alive. Being able to come back alive was naturally the first priority.
Speaking of which, because Xu Tangran offended Xiahou Longcheng, he had no choice but to cling to Kou Wenlan. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable. Unlike the others, not being able to complete the mission was not a crime worthy of death. However, without Kou Wenlan's protection, it was very likely that he would lose his life. In order to survive, he could only put on an emotional performance, so that Kou Wenlan would know that even if he did not get any credit, it was still very hard work!
Miao Yi and Murong Xinghua turned to look at the returning troops, then exchanged glances with each other again. It was a tacit understanding.
Miao Yi was secretly praising Xu Tangran in his heart, 'Xu Tangran is really a f * cking rare genius in this world. Today, I've finally seen what it means to put on a passionate performance!'
When he turned around, he unintentionally met Xiahou Longcheng's murderous gaze.
Seeing Miao Yi and the others greet each other lovingly after returning from a bloody battle for Kou Wenlan, especially after seeing how Miao Yi had helped Kou Wenlan and caused his brother's troops to be trapped, Xiahou Longcheng wanted nothing more than to tear Miao Yi apart. The person he hated the most immediately shifted from Xu Tangran to Miao Yi.
This person's brain was a bit simple. As long as it was related to his brother's future, Xu Tangran beating him up wasn't a big deal at all. The person who ruined his brother's future was truly hateful!
Miao Yi cursed in his heart. Ever since he threw the Glorious Star immortal herb, he had never seen this black bear look at him with such a vicious gaze. It seemed that the woman who led a group of people to fight with him was really someone from the Xiahou family. It seemed that he had offended this black bear badly again.
There was no other way. In order to save his life, he couldn't just not fight back. It was inexcusable to let others kill him. Since things had already come to this, Miao Yi could only laugh bitterly in his heart. When the situation came to this, this was the only thing he could do. He couldn't take care of everything!
After Kou Wenlan controlled her emotions and comforted him with a few words, Kou Wenhuang suddenly stepped forward. He extended his hand towards Miao Yi and said, "How many criminals have you captured? Let me see."
Miao Yi was startled, but he quickly guessed who this person was. He pretended to be confused and asked Kou Wenlan, "Great Commander, who is this person?"
Kou Wenhuang's face darkened. Kou Wenlan's touched emotions were immediately destroyed by this Third Brother. He said indifferently, "My cousin, who is also Qiu Danghai's superior."
"My apologies!" Miao Yi immediately cupped his fists towards Kou Wenhuang and began to complain, "Great Commander, your subordinates, Qiu Danghai and the others, are inhumane. I gave him the four criminals that I risked my life to capture, and he didn't even bother to help us when we were in trouble. This person has ulterior motives. I hope Great Commander will punish him severely!"
Kou Wenhuang said solemnly, "We'll talk about this later. First, let me take a look at the criminals you captured."
"This is not up to me to decide." Miao Yi took off the beast sack at his waist and handed it over to Kou Wenlan. He didn't want to get involved in the Kou family's internal affairs. He would let Kou Wenlan decide for herself. He didn't want to be the bad guy, and he couldn't afford to be.
If Kou Wenlan didn't care about the rankings, then he didn't care either. Earlier, he had listened to Kou Wenlan's orders and handed the criminals over to Qiu Danghai, so he didn't plan on stealing anyone else. It was just too unexpected. He didn't think that Qingyu Lang had captured so many criminals and picked them up along the way. Whether Kou Wenlan wanted to or not was up to Kou Wenlan. He wouldn't interfere.
As soon as Kou Wenlan received the beast sack, Kou Wenhuang immediately reached out for it. Unexpectedly, Kou Wenlan stopped him and asked, "Third Brother, are you trying to steal it in front of everyone?"
Kou Wenhuang wasn't in a position to steal it in front of everyone. With Gao Guan watching, he didn't dare to do so. However, his heart was burning with anxiety. The Heavenly Court's ambush assessment was related to his future in the Kou family. He immediately stopped and transmitted his voice over to Kou Wenlan, explaining, "Old Sixth, this isn't the time to fight over personal feelings. Protecting the Kou family's reputation is the most important thing.
It'll be safer for us to work together. "Kou Wenlan gritted his teeth in anger. However, as a descendant of the Kou family, he had no choice but to bear this burden. His own interests were insignificant in the face of the family's interests. Otherwise, he would be abandoned by the family, and if he really was abandoned, then he would have no future.
As he hesitated, he invoked his arts to check the number of criminals in the beast sack.
It was fine if he didn't look, but when he did, he was shocked. His eyes widened. 'How many? Thirty-five? '
He counted again. 'There's no mistake. There really are thirty-five?'
More than a third of the results of the centennial assessment was actually in his hands? Kou Wenlan's expression twitched as his heart raced. He slowly lifted his head to look at Miao Yi in disbelief. 'Could this guy have been hiding the number of criminals in his hands?'
Miao Yi smiled faintly and gave him a slight nod. He transmitted his voice over and said, "Grand Commander, I'm surprised as well. These were all taken from Qingyu Lang. I didn't expect that grandson to have so many criminals in his hands. I just happened to grab a few in passing."
"Old Sixth, what's wrong?" Kou Wenhuang asked again.
Without saying another word, Kou Wenlan turned around and walked down the stairs in front of the hall with the beast sack in hand.
Seeing this, Kou Wenhuang immediately became nervous. He transmitted his voice over and shouted, "Old Sixth! What are you trying to do? Are you crazy? Old Sixth! Old Sixth … "
Kou Wenlan didn't even bother to shout at him. Kou Wenlan was not an idiot. With more than a third of the results in his hands, he would definitely be in the top two. Moreover, he had a high chance of getting first place. He wouldn't want to bother with his Third Brother who always tried to bully him, unless there was something wrong with his brain.
What he regretted the most now was that he shouldn't have given the four criminals in his hands to Kou Wenhuang. Otherwise, his results would be much better, and he would have a higher chance of getting first place!
But what he didn't know was that if Miao Yi hadn't come out and given the results to Fan Yufei, he wouldn't have caused Hui Qingyan and Fan Yufei to fight to the death. He wouldn't have attracted the attention of the Senior Commanders either, and Qingyu Lang wouldn't have been there to set up the formation. If Qingyu Lang wasn't there to set up the formation, Miao Yi wouldn't have been able to get the results from Qingyu Lang. At the very least, if he didn't mess up Hui Qingyan and the others, Miao Yi wouldn't have been able to bring the items back so easily.
As the saying went, 'Karma is retribution.'
There was also a saying that went, 'If you are too smart, you'll end up hurting yourself'. Speaking of people like Kou Wenhuang, Miao Yi had to thank Kou Wenhuang for getting the rewards. However, no one would think about the cause and effect in this situation.
Kou Wenhuang could only grimace and clench his fists tightly as he watched Old Sixth walk down the stairs in front of the hall.
"Lord Supervisor, my subordinate has returned from the assessment!" Kou Wenlan stood at the bottom of the stairs and cupped his fists in greeting.
Gao Guan stared at him for a while longer, then turned to look at the person beside him. Feng Yuan understood. He floated down the stairs and asked, "Was the assessment focused?"
Kou Wenlan presented the beast sack with both hands and said, "Please examine it, Lord Supervisor!"
Feng Yuan waved his hand and a few people immediately came over. Kou Wenqing and Xiahou Longcheng took the opportunity to come over. In order to be fair, Feng Yuan took the beast sack from Kou Wenlan's hands in front of everyone and handed it over to his subordinates for verification. He supervised from the side, while Kou Wenhuang and the other commanders also came over to observe.
A prisoner who had been tied up was taken out. After invoking their arts to wake him up, they pulled his hair to the back and revealed his face. Immediately, someone checked the list of wanted fugitives and drew an image to compare. After comparing him to the suspected criminal, they immediately carried out a series of confirmations. Finally, they forced him to imprint his transcendence seal and compare it with the remains of the suspect that they had found from who knew where. After confirming that there were no mistakes, someone cupped his fists towards Feng Yuan and said, "Fugitive Guo Lichun, verified to be correct."
Guo Lichun had been on the run for many years. He thought he could get away with it, but now that he had finally fallen into the net of the law and witnessed the might of the Heavenly Court, he realized that it was impossible to defy the will of the heavens. He was so frightened that his face turned ashen. He fell to his knees and kowtowed, begging for mercy.
Feng Yuan waved his hand expressionlessly. Immediately, people rushed out from the left and right and dragged him away without any consideration for his feelings!
Next, the fugitives were dragged out one by one. Some were dead, some were alive, and some were half-dead. Feng Yuan had his own ways to verify them. After one was dragged away and handed over, Feng Yuan made a mark on the list.
When there were more than ten fugitives dragged out of the beast sack, Kou Wenhuang's face turned green. He didn't expect Old Sixth's subordinates to get so many fugitives.
