Eleven, twelve, thirteen …
The criminals were pulled out one by one, and there seemed to be no signs of stopping. Some people's expressions were getting uglier and uglier.
The sadness on Xu Tangran's face had long dissipated and was replaced by surprise. From time to time, he and Murong Xinghua looked at each other.
The two of them, especially Xu Tangran, were quite clear on how many criminals Miao Yi had caught. They had all been given to Qiu Danghai and the others. He couldn't believe that Miao Yi had so many criminals in his hands.
Putting this aside for now, Xu Tangran couldn't hide the joy in his eyes. He and Miao Yi were in the same team. The results didn't belong to the individual, but to the entire team. The more criminals they caught, the more credit they would get, and the more he would benefit.
Twenty-seven, twenty-eight, twenty-nine …
The criminals were still being pulled out one by one. Countless people were hoping that it would stop soon. Countless people were shouting in their hearts, 'It's about time, isn't it?'
Other than Kou Wenlan, the commanders couldn't take it anymore. They were all hoping that they wouldn't cross the line of thirty. That number was an unbearable weight in their hearts.
However, reality was always cruel. When the thirtieth fugitive was pulled out, many people looked back at the people still fighting in the starry sky. Kou Wenhuang's facial muscles twitched. He felt like he was about to go crazy. He looked at Kou Wenlan as if he wanted to swallow him whole.
Kou Wenlan had a smile on his face. He stood there quietly and watched the criminals being checked.
Beside him, Kou Wenqing tilted his head and glanced at him. He seemed to understand why Old Six could so decisively ignore Old Third's pressure. It turned out that he had the confidence to compete with Old Third and didn't need to care about his feelings anymore!
Standing on the steps in front of the hall, Gao Guan was also quite surprised. He didn't expect Kou Wenlan to be able to catch so many criminals.
Thirty-one, thirty-two, thirty-three …
This time, it wasn't just Kou Wenhuang who was going crazy. The other commanders were also going crazy. If this went on, how were they going to compete?
Murong Xinghua was naturally happy with this result, but he was still calm.
The corner of Xu Tangran's mouth was already crooked. He smiled stiffly, revealing half of his teeth. He was laughing wildly in his heart. Not only did he survive the hundred-year assessment, but he also had such a result. It was really unexpected! Not to mention getting promoted and getting rich, at least his position was stable. As long as he didn't make any mistakes and had such solid results, no one could touch him. No matter who wanted to take his position, they had to think twice. That Xiahou Longcheng wouldn't dare to do anything to him. Glory of wealth was in sight!
In fact, that was indeed the case. This was a battle achievement, a hard and solid battle achievement. Moreover, it was a battle achievement directly organized by the Heavenly Court. At all times, battle achievements were the most solid. This thing was obtained by risking one's life. If it disappointed the people who fought for the Heavenly Court. In the future, the Heavenly Court would not be able to make others risk their lives for them. The consequences would be severe, so the Heavenly Court had always given preferential treatment to such meritorious subjects.
Even if he slept with a woman, the higher-ups wouldn't say anything. There was no reason for them to blame a hero of the Heavenly Court for an actor. Even if Y complained to the higher-ups, it would be useless.
When he thought of this, he thought of Xue Linglong's beauty. And that graceful and soft body, he would be able to enjoy her at any time in the future. Xu Tangran suddenly realized that his injury was no longer painful. His lower abdomen was even a little hot. He felt that the injury was worth it.
When the examination of the 35th person was completed, there was no more follow-up. Xu Tangran was about to go mad with joy. He screamed, 35, 35! That was more than 30% of the number of fugitives captured in this assessment! This was a sign that they were going to get first place!
The commanders around them all had ugly expressions as they turned and left. Kou Wenhuang stared at Kou Wenlan.
Feng Yuan communicated with Kou Wenlan for a while. Kou Wenlan turned around and asked, "The Deacon asked if Yang Tai and Zheng Rulong were in the same group as you?"
Murong Xinghua and Xu Tangran looked at each other. It seemed that if they were in the same group, Yang Tai and Zheng Rulong would be rewarded after their deaths. If they had family members, they would also receive preferential treatment from the Heavenly Court. This was an old rule of the Heavenly Court.
Miao Yi rejected it without hesitation. He said calmly, "Yang Tai and Zheng Rulong betrayed the team when they first joined the assessment. We don't know if they are alive or dead. The captured fugitives have nothing to do with them."
He had already reported the truth to Kou Wenlan. Since Kou Wenlan came to ask for their opinion, it meant that he would do as they said. However, to Miao Yi, one of them betrayed him, and the other wanted to kill him. If they had family members, it would be a good thing if he didn't eliminate them. Why would he let those two get the credit?
Kou Wenlan looked at the other two. Murong Xinghua and Xu Tangran immediately replied, "Commander Niu is right." The two of them were now following Miao Yi's lead. Moreover, they were completely convinced. The situation was completely different from when they first joined the assessment.
Kou Wenlan nodded and didn't say anything else. She turned around and informed Feng Yuan.
"Reporting to the Overseer. Niu Youde, Murong Xinghua, and Xu Tangran from the Yizi Domain's Tianyuan Planet assessment team have captured a total of thirty-five fugitives. There are no mistakes!" Feng Yuan went up the steps and presented the verified list with both hands. He immediately kicked Yang Tai and Zheng Rulong out of the list.
Gao Guan was still expressionless. He took the jade disk and examined it. He then imprinted his transcendence seal on it. Miao Yi and the other two's results had been verified and officially confirmed. All that was left was to wait for everyone's final results to be announced.
At the moment, Miao Yi and the others had nothing to do. The other commanders who had returned still had to report. Bu Yi stopped them. After bowing to Gao Guan on the steps, they retreated.
After leaving the field, Miao Yi and the other two removed their armors. Miao Yi was still in a better state. One of Murong Xinghua's arms, as well as one of Xu Tangran's arms and one of his legs, were already badly mutilated. They were shattered into pieces of bone and flesh. They couldn't be used anymore.
Seeing this, Kou Wenlan was moved. He was deeply moved.
Miao Yi personally chopped off their crippled arms and legs. This way, it would be easier for them to grow new ones. The two injured people couldn't avoid suffering.
Without another word, Kou Wenlan took care of their injuries. Needless to say, he provided resources to help them recover. He told them to rest and recuperate. Then, he personally sent them to a cave.
"Great Commander!" Turning around, Miao Yi caught up to Kou Wenlan at the entrance of the cave.
"What's the matter?" Kou Wenlan patted his shoulder and asked with a smile. His attitude was very friendly. This was his great hero! He was happy to see him.
However, Miao Yi changed to a voice transmission. "Great Commander, you may not know this, but when we first came for the assessment, we were alone and weak. We had no choice but to seek help from others. When we arrived at the Sorrowless Forest on the Star of Survival …" He roughly explained how he convinced the Duke of Ban Yue and his wife to help him. Then, he cupped his fists and said sincerely, "At that time, my cultivation was only at the Golden Lotus First Grade. In addition, Su Lu 'er's crime was indeed pardonable. In order to complete the task Great Commander entrusted to me, I had no choice but to act on my own and act on my own. But if it weren't for the couple's devoted protection for the past hundred years, I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to return to see Great Commander again."
"Overturning the verdict for that Su Lu 'er isn't a big deal …" Kou Wenlan muttered to himself for a while. Then, he frowned and said slowly, "But you have to think this through. Once the couple divulges the fact that you colluded with them during this period, I'm afraid you'll have to bear the responsibility of colluding with fugitives from the Heavenly Court alone."
Miao Yi understood what he meant. If something really happened, with Kou Wenlan's background, he naturally wouldn't be the one to bear the responsibility. He would have plenty of connections to push the blame onto others. At that time, the only one who would be in trouble would be him, Miao Yi. Xu Tangran and the others wouldn't know about this. Those who didn't know wouldn't be punished.
"I've already promised them, and the couple has kept their promise. How can I go back on my word?!" Miao Yi cupped his fists again and asked for help.
At this time, as long as the request wasn't too excessive, Kou Wenlan wouldn't refuse. In addition, seeing how loyal Miao Yi was, he didn't say anything else. He nodded and said, "Fine! I'll remember this matter. I'll immediately make arrangements after this and give you an answer as soon as possible! "
"Thank you, Great Commander!"
Just as Miao Yi expressed his thanks, a figure flashed over. It was Kou Wenhuang. With a gloomy expression, he said, "Niu Youde, were these thirty-five criminals given to you by Chou Danghai? Chou Danghai threw a beast sack to you in front of everyone. Everyone heard what he said! "Hearing this, Miao Yi was stunned.
Kou Wenlan, on the other hand, was overjoyed. His eyes burned with unconcealable rage as he put on a fake smile and said, "Third Brother, don't be so unsightly. The Old Master isn't a fool. You can't hide what happened here from him. If you want to take credit for this, you'll have to ask Grandfather if he can pry open Chou Danghai's mouth and make them speak the truth. Grandfather has plenty of ways to uncover the truth. If you dare to lie to Grandfather and treat him like a fool, then I have nothing else to say. Go ahead and take it if you can!"
A hint of fear flashed across Kou Wenhuang's eyes. He didn't expect his Little Brother to use Kou Tianwang's name to pressure him. Gritting his teeth, he slowly turned around and left.
Unexpectedly, Kou Wenlan wouldn't let him go. He said to his back, "Third Brother, I've given you four criminals. If you still don't get a good ranking, then you'll be letting down your little brother's kind intentions!"
This was a blatant humiliation! Now that he had the confidence, his words were immediately different. Kou Wenhuang stopped in his tracks, clenched his fists, and slowly left.
Unexpectedly, just as one person left, another person came in and asked, "Niu Youde, did the criminals you obtained belong to Qing Yu Lang and the others?"
The newcomer was Ying Yao. His face was ashen. Miao Yi didn't recognize him, so he looked at Kou Wenlan with a puzzled expression.
Kou Wenlan chuckled and continued, "Ying Yao, my subordinates did manage to snatch some from Qing Yu Lang. Those were all taken from my subordinates during the hundred-year examination. I merely snatched them back this time."
This was what Ying Yao had said to Gao Guan when the Qing Yu Lang's First Battle took place on his own 'doorstep'. Now, Kou Wenlan was giving him a taste of his own medicine. Ying Yao was so angry that he couldn't help but tremble. However, he didn't lose his temper. Instead, he gritted his teeth and turned around to leave.
