What? Miao Yi, who was cupping his fists, suddenly raised his head and stared blankly into Lady Biyue's eyes. He wasn't sure if he had misheard. Ying Yao's death was indirectly related to him, yet she still wanted to promote him to Grand Commander. Was that true?
Murong Xinghua and Xu Tangran looked at each other in dismay. They were also doubting whether it was true or not. How could Niu Youde be promoted to the Great Commander of Heaven Street after offending Madam Bi Yue of the Ying Clan? Besides, he was the Great Commander of Heavenly Avenue! This was a very lucrative position. How could someone without a considerable background sit in this position?
Bao Lian, who was in the crowd, was shocked.
The heavily guarded Eastern City Gate was completely silent. Today's weather was pretty good. The sky was blue and the wind was gentle.
Lady Biyue, whose dress was gently swaying in the breeze, said indifferently: "What? You want to defy the decree? "
Miao Yi hurriedly stepped forward and received the Jade Disk of Appointment with both hands. After carefully examining it and making sure there were no mistakes, he cupped his fists and said, "I accept your orders!"
Lady Biyue didn't say anything else. After the appointment was made, she threw the Great Commander's token that Kou Wenlan had handed over to Miao Yi, and then left with her entourage.
Miao Yi slowly turned around and watched as the figure entered the city. He still felt like he was dreaming, and that it was a little unrealistic. He had thought about becoming a Great Commander after leaving with Kou Wenlan, but he never expected to become the Great Commander of Heaven's Avenue. This position was simply too lucrative!
When he came back to his senses, he heard the voices of thousands of people cupping their hands in greeting. "Greetings, Great Commander!"
He stood there alone, like a crane in a flock of chickens, a little dazed as he accepted everyone bowing to him.
He saw the surprise in Murong Xinghua and Xu Tangran's eyes, as well as the joy in Fu Qing and Invincible Eagle's eyes.
The eyes of many Heavenly Generals were filled with eagerness. After the death of Commander Yang Tai in the south city, the position had been empty. It had always been managed by two deputy commanders. Countless people coveted this position. Now that this Senior Commander had been promoted, it meant that there were two vacant commander positions. Once they were promoted from the bottom up, they would have to fill the positions one by one. This meant that a series of people would have to be promoted. They did not know if they would be able to get a share, so it was easy to imagine how anxious they were.
"Rise!" The Grand Commander was a little baffled by his actions. Miao Yi motioned with both hands, his mind still trying to figure out what was going on.
Only now did he remember that Cao Wanxiang had once said that he would promote him to the position of Great Commander. However, who would take it seriously back then? From the looks of it now … could it really be related to Cao Wanxiang? There was no need for Cao Wanxiang to take care of her like this, right? If he really wanted to take care of someone, the first person he should take care of should be Murong Xinghua right?
"Eastern District Commander Niu Youde has been promoted to Heavenly Street Commander …"
The news quickly spread in Heaven Street. After all, Lady Biyue announced it in public on purpose, so it was hard for it not to spread quickly.
Kou Wenlan was leaving. Huangfu Jun? Y and him were considered friends. Of course, she had to come to see them off. However, she was not an official, so she could not mingle with the heavenly soldiers and generals outside the city to see them off. She only cupped her hands to show her respect on the street inside the city. At this time, she was stunned when she heard the news, and her expression was quite complicated!
"Lady Boss! His Excellency has been promoted to Heavenly Street's Great Commander! "
Back at the Cloud Beauty Restaurant, Carpenter Xing, who had been sent to keep an eye on Kou Wenlan's departure, rushed to the backyard and found Yun Zhiqiu.
Qian'Er and Xue'Er were working on a list in the pavilion. Miao Yi had obtained the Earth division's Boundless Art and the treasure map for the Earth division's Nine Tribulations Art. It was like searching for a needle in a haystack. It was too difficult. Yun Zhiqiu suspected that something else might appear after he found the Earth division's Nine Tribulations Art. Hence, he decided to compile a list of Huangfu Jun's coordinates. For example, there were a few auxiliary stars near the main star. It would be much more convenient to use the list when the time came. It would save them the tiredness of searching for a needle in a haystack over and over again.
It was not convenient to leave this task to others, so he could only entrust it to his trusted aide. He had no choice but to trouble Qian'Er and Xue'Er.
Miao Yi was used to being a hands-off boss, so he could not be bothered with such trivial matters. Furthermore, he had other matters to attend to. He could not spare too much energy to take care of everything on his own, so he left it to his wife to handle.
Carpenter Xing's news came. Qian'Er and Xue'Er raised their heads in shock.
Yun Zhiqiu, who was holding a jade disk and looking through the list, was also shocked. He frowned and said, "What nonsense are you spouting!? How is this possible? How can someone without a certain background become the Heaven Street Commander? Report to me after you figure it out! "
The carpenter chuckled and said, "Lady Boss. It's true. When I was in the city, I heard Lady Biyue announce the promotion decree. I also heard Sir's reply. I also heard the voices of all the people paying respects to Sir. Right now, the news is spreading everywhere in the city. Just go out and you will hear it. There is no mistake. "
"…" Yun Zhiqiu was dumbfounded. 'Is this for real? I was already preparing to retreat to the Lesser Realm if the Ying family came for revenge. How did I become the Heaven Street Commander in the blink of an eye? Isn't this sudden change a little too drastic?'
Without another word, she quickly took out her Starbell and contacted Miao Yi. 'Niu Er, what's going on? I heard you were promoted to Heaven Street Commander? '
Miao Yi: 'I don't know what's going on either. That's enough. I'm already at the City-Guard Palace. I'm going to find Lady Biyue and find out what's going on. I'll tell you the details later.'
Miao Yi had indeed arrived at the City-Guard Palace. The palace guards were now open to him. No one stopped him. Instead, there were people paying their respects to the Heaven Street Commander. He had already received the decree and knew that this person was now the number one figure in Heaven Street!
Miao Yi wasn't prepared for this sudden change at all. He was a little uncomfortable.
When he arrived at the rear palace, he was notified and was led to the pavilion in the rear garden, which was filled with exotic flowers and herbs.
Lady Biyue held the pink fox in her arms and gently stroked it. She smiled at Miao Yi, who was walking over to greet her, and said, "There's no need to be so courteous, Great Commander. I can't accept a Celestial Emperor's favor!"
'Is this sarcasm?' Miao Yi smiled bitterly. "Lady, to be honest, there's something I don't understand. Why did you promote me to Heaven Street Commander?"
Lady Biyue smiled. "You didn't expect it, did you?"
Miao Yi said, "I didn't expect it. I heard Governor Cao mention it when I was at the Governor's Manor in Yizi Domain, but I don't think it's possible …"
Lady Biyue interrupted, "Are you worried that you'll be leaving with Kou Wenlan?"
"…" Miao Yi hesitated for a moment, then reluctantly said, "Yes! There are some things that everyone is well aware of. Even if I were to be promoted, Governor Cao's priority would still be Murong Xinghua. Why would he let me be Heaven Street's Great Commander? "
"Could it be that you still think your promotion to Great Commander was Cao Wanxiang's idea?" Lady Biyue narrowed her eyes and sneered. "Do you think that without my approval, Cao Wanxiang would dare to interfere with the appointment of my subordinates?"
This was equivalent to making it clear that promoting you had nothing to do with Cao Wanxiang. It was purely my personal idea. You should find someone to be grateful to. To put it bluntly, when dealing with Kou Wenlan, Cao Wanxiang would be the bad guy, and she would be the good guy who made people feel grateful. This was all arranged by Marquis Tian Yuan.
Miao Yi was stunned. After a moment of silence, he asked, "Why does Lady Biyue care for me so much?"
Lady Biyue said seriously, "I saw your performance during the examination with my own eyes. I think highly of you, so I put you in an important position. I hope you won't let down my painstaking efforts in nurturing you. As long as you don't let me down, I won't let you down either. In the future, if there's a chance, I will speak up for you with Marquis Tian Yuan. Even though the Kou family is a big tree, the burden is also heavy. Following me might not be any worse than following Kou Wenlan. I'm sure you understand this! "
'Is she treating me as her confidant?' Miao Yi hesitated for a moment, then probed, "I heard that the Marquis has a close relationship with the Ying family!"
Lady Biyue smiled. "Isn't that good enough to eliminate your worries? If the Ying family wants to touch my people, how can they not go through the Marquis? The Ying family still has to give the Marquis some face! Alright! Don't think too much. You just need to focus on running Heaven Street well. I will support you in everything. I only have one request for you. The winds in the Heavenly Court have changed. The people in Heaven Street cannot continue like before. If something happens, pull them out … just like the examination this time. You must be able to do it! "
As he left, Miao Yi didn't feel the slightest bit of excitement. He felt a little uneasy about this sudden event that wasn't within his expectations.
As she watched Miao Yi leave, Lady Biyue seemed to have thought of something. Suddenly, her eyes were filled with lust. She stroked the pink fox in her arms and whispered, "Tonight, it shall be him!"
The fox in her arms immediately closed its eyes in pain …
Outside the City Guard Palace, Murong Xinghua and Xu Tangran were waiting for Miao Yi. When they saw Miao Yi come out, they had a questioning look on their faces.
Miao Yi stood between the two of them. With his hands tucked into his sleeves, he glanced at Xu Tangran and said, "The damned Grand Commander you mentioned is indeed me."
'Ugh! Who would've thought of this! ' Xu Tangran hurriedly cupped his fists and said, "I misspoke. Please forgive me, Milord!" He was worried that Miao Yi would settle old and new scores at the same time. Insulting his superior in front of him was not a small matter.
Murong Xinghua pursed his lips and smiled.
Miao Yi said, "I'll let it go this time. Next time, don't do something like snatching a woman in public. If something like this happens again, I won't mistreat you. There are many temples in Heaven's Origin Planet. You can choose one to stay in."
"Yes! I'm a fool. I won't do such a stupid thing again. "Xu Tangran was terrified. A higher ranking official could crush a man to death!
"We'll follow the old rules for now. I'll think about the rest after I've thought about it. Go back to your own business!" Miao Yi laughed bitterly. He threw down these words and flew away in a flash.
"Yes!" After cupping their fists, the two of them stood up and looked at each other.
Xu Tangran heaved a sigh of relief. He looked around at the vast city and sighed, "Comparisons are odious. It has only been a few hundred years since the Morality Goods Store opened. In the blink of an eye, this person has become the master of this Heaven's Street. How fast!"
Murong Xinghua smiled and said, "You don't have to be envious. If you can kill Qing Yu, the position of Grand Commander will be yours."
Xu Tangran shrunk his neck and muttered, "I don't have that ability! I just want to keep my current position. You don't have to worry, but I'm in danger. Once Grand Commander Kou leaves, who knows how many people will be eyeing my position. When the time comes, I'm afraid there will be a lot of people looking for Grand Commander Niu to plead for me. I'm nothing! "
