Standing on the roof, Miao Yi seemed to be deep in thought. He seemed to have just noticed their arrival.
Snapping back to reality, he looked at the four people in the courtyard and floated down. He waved his hand and said, "Come in!"
The four people followed him into the main hall of the Grand Commander's Residence.
When he reached his seat, Miao Yi did not sit down. Instead, he turned around to face the four people. With a wave of his hand, he threw four jade plates at them.
The four of them received the plates and saw that they were all shops in their territories. Some of the shops were even circled, indicating that they were to be 'taken care of'.
The other three were easier to understand. They more or less knew what was going on. Xu Tangran was only surprised that sixteen shops became so many. Just the shops in his territory were marked on the jade plates.
Murong Xinghua was confused. She couldn't understand what was going on. She counted the number of shops on the jade plates. It was close to eighty. What was going on? She raised her head and asked, "Grand Commander, what is the meaning of this?"
Miao Yi replied coldly, "Some shops are restless! They think that just because they have money, power, and a bit of background, they dare to go against the authority of the Heavenly Court. They look down on the Grand Commander who is overseeing this place. How arrogant! I don't have the time to argue with them about their background. If necessary, I will use a thunderous method. I want to see if their necks are harder, or if my blade is harder. If one doesn't submit, I will kill one. If two don't submit, I will kill a pair. If a group doesn't submit … I don't mind killing them all! "
"..." Murong Xinghua could hear the murderous intent in his words. Her mouth was agape. Her eyes were filled with disbelief. What was this madman trying to do?
When Miao Yi began to unhurriedly explain the deployment of the plan, Murong Xinghua's eyes widened even more when the blood-stained words entered her ears one by one. She then looked at the name list in her hands. 'Who are the people behind all these shops?'
She had been overseeing the North City District for a long time. Naturally, she could tell the connections behind these shops with just one look. None of them were simple. These shops were only on the surface of the North City District. She then looked at the jade plates in the hands of the others. How many shops were he going to attack?
Heavens! Murong Xinghua screamed in her heart. This guy was actually going to massacre the shops of the influential families in Heaven Street. Crazy! Crazy! This guy was crazy!
"Great Commander, please reconsider!" Miao Yi cut him off. Murong Xing Hua immediately cupped his hands and said, "You mustn't do this. Most of the people behind these shops are important figures who are on the Celestial List and are participating in the Heavenly Court's Imperial Assembly. If you really do this, I'm afraid it'll be too late for you to regret it! Your humble servant sincerely requests … "
"Commander Murong!" Miao Yi interrupted with a deep voice, "After all, Commander Cao's reputation is at stake here. If you feel that it's inconvenient for you to take action, I won't force you. Let your two deputy commanders do it for you! However, before this matter is resolved, I hope that you can cooperate with me and temporarily stay in my Grand Commander's Manor for a while! "
Previously, when he had just been promoted to Great Commander, he had already placed two Yao Kings from the Sea of Constellations under Murong Xing Hua as Deputy Commanders. The reason why he had sent his own people over was to prepare for emergencies. He wasn't afraid that there would be no one left to command the troops in the North City District.
This was the benefit of having subordinates. Otherwise, no matter how many subordinates Miao Yi had, he wouldn't be able to carry out this plan.
When Murong Xing Hua heard this, she quickly looked at Fu Qing, Invincible Eagle, and Xu Tangran. She wanted to persuade the three of them to persuade the Great Commander together. However, she realized that the three of them were staring at her, as if they weren't surprised by the Great Commander's decision at all. She was the only one who looked anxious.
Fu Qing and Invincible Eagle were fine, but why wasn't she afraid of the cowardly Xu Tangran as well? This … Murong Xing Hua was stunned. She immediately understood that the three of them probably already knew about this.
She wasn't even afraid of Xu Tangran. When she thought about how Miao Yi wasn't an impulsive person, she fell silent. Even if something happened, she would only be following orders and wouldn't be implicated. Even if the sky collapsed, there was someone taller to hold it up. There was nothing for her to be afraid of!
Actually, she wasn't afraid of anything. She was just thinking about Miao Yi and didn't want anything to happen to him. However, things had already come to this … Murong Xing Hua's lips twitched. She cupped her fists and said, "Great Commander is worrying too much. Since the Great Commander has given his orders, it doesn't matter if I'm Madam Cao or not. I will obey and not obey!"
Miao Yi immediately gave Fu Qing a look. Fu Qing nodded slightly. He understood what Miao Yi meant. This was just in case. He would have Murong Xing Hua's two Deputy Commanders keep an eye on Murong Xing Hua. If anything went wrong, they would immediately contact him.
"Very well!" Miao Yi nodded after reaching a consensus. He solemnly warned again, "All the goods in the shops on the list are to be confiscated as stolen goods. Don't leave a single hair behind! All the people in the shops are to be arrested as suspects. If anyone resists, kill them on the spot! Seal all the shops on the list and confiscate them! "
"Yes!" The four of them cupped their fists in response. This was too much.
"Great Commander …" After receiving the order, Xu Tangran suddenly added weakly. He didn't expect things to go this far. It was far bigger than he imagined. Sixteen shops had actually become so many. He had never done something so crazy in his life.
Miao Yi swept a cold glance over and said coldly, "You still have something to say?"
"No! I just wanted to ask. " Xu Tangran spread out the jade disk in his hand and said, "The Morality Sundry Goods Store. Great Commander came from there. Are you going to seal it as well?"
After years of development, the Morality Sundry Goods Store could be ranked among the top hundred business forces in Heaven's Street. That was why it was also on the list.
Miao Yi was unmoved. He only said two words, "Do it!"
"Then … what about the Hall of Heroes?" Xu Tangran probed again. If he remembered correctly, it was impossible for him to be wrong. The last time he robbed Xue Linglong, Huang Fujun was the one who made an appearance. Don't make trouble and vent your anger on me again. You've shown up after Y found you.
The Hall of Heroes and the Morality Sundry Goods Store were both in his territory in the West District.
But from Miao Yi's perspective, the Hall of Heroes was something that he had to deal with. Only by dealing with the Hall of Heroes would he be able to reach Tian Ting at the fastest speed possible. Xu Tangran didn't know the situation inside, but he did. So Huang Fujun? Y would not be able to escape!
Moreover, the general plan had already been set and could not be easily changed. He would not let any of the top hundred shops go. There was no reason to favor one over the other.
Didn't a group of merchants want to work together to fight back? Then he would let the people of Heaven's Street see what true power was. He would let them know who was in charge here. How dare a group of small merchants think they could overturn the heavens!
That was why … Miao Yi's eyes were resolute. "Treat everyone equally!"
"Understood!" Xu Tangran cupped his fists. He had no more questions.
Miao Yi ordered, "Go back and gather the troops immediately. The sun will be up in an hour. When that time comes, the troops of the four districts will gather together. Be quick. We have to clear all the shops on the list as fast as lightning. Move out! "
"Understood!" The four of them quickly accepted the order and left.
In the empty hall, Miao Yi was the only one standing there with his eyes closed.
Until the sound of armor clattering in the East District Governor's Office could be heard. Miao Yi could also hear the rumbling footsteps of troops being mobilized. Only then did he abruptly open his eyes. He strode into the courtyard and once again lay down on the recliner beneath the vine rack, closing his eyes to rest.
Bao Lian quickly walked into the courtyard and reported to Miao Yi. "Milord, Commander Fu Qing seems to be mobilizing the troops of the entire East District."
"Mm! I heard it. It's fine! Go get me a cup of tea. "Miao Yi waved his hand.
Bao Lian quickly brought him a cup of hot tea. Miao Yi opened his eyes and smiled at her. "You've been with me for many years now. Sit down. Let's sit down and talk."
Bao Lian did as she was told and sat down on the bench under the vine rack. Miao Yi took a sip of his tea and smiled. "I promised to go to the Vitality Sect last time, but I never had the time. I hope you can explain this to Sect Master Yu Ling."
Bao Lian nodded. "My grandfather knows about the situation here. The Commander is busy and can't leave."
Miao Yi nodded and sighed. "Time flies! Back when we first met, you were so unruly. You are very unruly, forcing me to compete with you with your sword. "
Bao Lian said awkwardly, "Bao Lian didn't know any better at the time. I hope the Commander doesn't mind."
"It's all in the past. I don't care about it. I just feel like it was peaceful back when I was in the Vitality Sect. Why did so many things come knocking on my door? I had no choice!" Miao Yi had a helpless look on his face. He waved his hand, then took out the token and handed it over. "This is the token to open my Blessed Paradise. Madam Bi Yue of the City Guard Palace might send someone to look for me later. Please invite the guest to my Paradise … "
At the East District's Gate, a figure descended from the sky and landed on the tower. It was none other than Hu Fei. It was the golden-armored Hu Fei.
When the City Guard Commander saw her, he quickly came over to greet her. Unexpectedly, Hu Fei threw a jade disk at him and smiled coldly. "Commander Fu's decree. Immediately close the East District's gate. Without his decree, no one is allowed to enter or leave the city. Anyone who disobeys will be executed! "
After the City Guard Commander read through the contents of the decree, he cupped his fists and said, "Commander's decree!"
He then dashed to the side of the city wall and waved his hand at the people below. "Commander's decree. Immediately close the East District's gate. No one is allowed to enter or leave. Anyone who disobeys will be executed!"
The soldiers guarding outside the gate immediately retreated and quickly dispersed the people entering and exiting the gate. The gate let out a whimper and rumble as it was closed.
This gate was connected to the formation that sealed off the entire Heavenly Street. Once the gate was closed, the formation at the East District's gate was sealed as well.
Hu Fei, who was wearing heavy armor, twisted her waist as she walked back and forth on the tower. She was in charge of guarding this place.
On the West District's gate tower, King Bi Hai descended from the sky and flashed his decree. "Commander Xu's decree. Immediately close the West District's gate. Without his decree, no one is allowed to enter or leave the city. Anyone who disobeys will be executed!
At the same time, on the North District's gate tower, the King of White Bones descended from the sky and flashed his decree. "Commander Murong's decree. Immediately close the North District's gate. Without his decree, no one is allowed to enter or leave the city …"
Groups of celestial soldiers and celestial generals spread out in all directions.
In the South District, the Invincible Eagle, who had an aquiline nose and a sinister expression, descended from the sky in golden armor. He personally led a group of people and landed in front of a shop.
Ling Xian Garden! The Invincible Eagle raised his head and looked coldly at the shop's signboard.
"Commander Eagle, this is …" A shop assistant ran out and asked.
Bang! Before he could finish speaking, the Invincible Eagle did not say anything. Without even a word of explanation, he directly kicked at the shop assistant's chest at an extremely fast speed.
Pfft! The shop assistant, who spat out a mouthful of blood, did not even have time to react. The Invincible Eagle's kick was simply too fast. His entire body flew into the shop and smashed the counter inside before letting out a scream.
