"Yes, yes, yes. That is exactly what I mean." Zhongli Kuai quickly agreed.
The three of them jumped up and down to explain. Their reasoning was not wrong. Qian Luo finally let go of Meng Zigao's ear and pointed at Zhongli Kuai's nose. "If you want to do something, do it properly. Quickly contact them and see how we can cooperate."
"Yes, yes, yes!" After Zhongli Kuai repeatedly agreed, he revealed a cautious and probing look and said, "Elder, why is our Skyway Palace helping that guy in secret?"
"Ah!" Zhongli Kuai screamed. Qian Luo grabbed him by the neck and violently beat him.
How dare you ask about this? Meng Zigao and Jing An felt a chill run down their spine. They immediately ignored it and retreated to the wall. They had no intention of saving Zhongli Kuai. Instead, they were afraid of being dragged into this mess.
Half a month later, the twenty-nine stewards of the Chamber of Commerce gathered together again.
Hu Yuyuan, the shopkeeper, threw a jade plate to Zhou Ran, who was seated at the head of the table. He said, "This is the invitation from Commander Niu."
Many people looked at each other. Huang Fujun? Y looked at the jade plate in Zhou Ran's hand, as if he wanted to see the contents.
After Zhou Ran looked at the item in his hand, he looked at the others and asked curiously, "Why didn't I, the president, receive an invitation? Who else received one? "
"I received one."
"I received one too."
Shopkeeper Han, Shopkeeper Mei Shao, Shopkeeper Shen, Shopkeeper Shen, Shopkeeper Liao, and Shopkeeper Guan each took out a jade plate and waved it in their hands.
Want to see it? Seeing the others staring, the five of them did not hide it and threw it out.
"I have one here too." The vice president in charge of the Eastern District, Wu Hanshan, also took out a jade plate and shook it, then placed it on the table in front of him. His master was one of the Four Heavenly Kings, the Kou family.
Huang Fujun? Y took the plate and looked at it. It was indeed an invitation to a banquet. It said that there had been many misunderstandings in the past, and that he hoped to bury the hatchet. He invited Liao Xiuchun and Shopkeeper Liao to a banquet three days later. The seal was also from Niu Youde. She recognized Niu Youde's seal.
Everyone took turns to look at it. After reading it one by one, they all had different expressions.
"Hmph!" Manager Tian Fenghao tossed the jade disk back to the original owner and said disdainfully, "Now you know? Are you afraid? What have you been doing all this time?" He didn't like Miao Yi at all, and the reason was obviously because of the mistress behind him. Mischievous and destitute
Zhou Ran shook his head and said, "Weird. The invitations were all from the east side of the city. Did no one from the other districts receive an invitation?"
"We haven't heard of anyone receiving an invitation. Have you heard the news?"
The vice president in charge of the West District, Wu Cong Gong, Manager Wu, looked at the person seated below him and asked. His master was one of the Four Heavenly Kings, the Ying Family.
"Never heard of it." Someone shook his head.
This situation puzzled everyone present. Huangfu Jun? Y frowned, not knowing what Miao Yi was up to.
"What is Niu Youde playing at?" Shopkeeper Hu Yuyuan looked around at the crowd and couldn't help but tease, "Could it be that because he's from the Eastern District, he only wants to bury the hatchet with the people of the Eastern District, but doesn't want to reconcile with the rest of you?"
"That can't be!" Wu Hanshan looked at Spiritual Master Yu Xu, who was sitting below, and said, "Shopkeeper Yu Xu and Niu Youde are friends. He didn't receive an invitation either."
Tian Fenghao chuckled and said, "The Sect Master's granddaughter is Niu Youde's personal attendant. It's possible that Niu Youde has already taken her in as his mistress. Why would he need an invitation to resolve the conflict?"
'Huangfu Jun?' Y glanced at him with an unfriendly gaze. She didn't like what he said.
Spiritual Master Yu Xu slowly said, "Shopkeeper Tian, please watch your mouth!"
Tian Fenghao laughed coldly and said, "I'm not wrong! A man and a woman alone in a blazing fire. The slightest spark will set them on fire. Who can guarantee — "
"That's enough!" Zhou Ran interrupted. "Shopkeeper Tian, don't stray from the topic."
Tian Fenghao smiled and leaned back in his chair. "Chairman Zhou, I just feel that when we're discussing certain matters, shouldn't some people avoid suspicion? Don't go back and say that we've wronged someone if something happens. "
Everyone glanced at Spiritual Master Yu Xu. The latter did not say anything. He stood up, straightened his robe, turned around, and left.
Everyone looked at each other, but no one asked him to stay.
With Spiritual Master Yu Xu gone, everyone's conversation became more relaxed. 'Huangfu Jun?' Y's eyebrows twitched. There seemed to be a hint of smugness in her eyes. The reason was simple. She felt that the person closest to Niu Youde was her, not Spiritual Master Yu Xu. She was quite proud of her secrecy.
Tian Fenghao said bluntly, "Those in the East District, don't blame me for not reminding you. Since ancient times, there has never been a good banquet or a good meeting. Be careful of whatever trap Niu Youde has set up, waiting for you to walk right into it."
'Huangfu Jun?' Y said, "Only targeting the people in the East District and scaring the people in the other three districts. Niu Youde can't be that stupid, right?"
"That's true!" Many people nodded and muttered.
Wu Hanshan smacked his lips and asked in confusion, "What do you guys think Niu Youde is trying to do?"
'Huangfu Jun?' Y pointed at the invitation in front of him and said, "Didn't he say it very clearly? He wants to bury the hatchet."
Wu Hanshan pointed at the table in front of him. "Could it be that he only wants to bury the hatchet with the people in the East District and continue to go against the people in the other three districts? Isn't showing his attitude like that just asking for trouble? "
Yang Qing's suggestion seemed normal, but it was actually messing with people's minds. It could be said that the group was completely confused. All sorts of reliable and unreliable guesses were made, but in the end, they all felt that it was unreliable. The group was having a toothache. 'What the hell is he doing?'
"If it's up to me, everyone should just forget about it." Tian Fenghao slapped the table and said, "Let's just be straightforward! Let's all work together and kill our way into the Guardian Palace and kill Niu Youde. This will completely eliminate any future troubles and we won't have to waste our energy thinking about it. We'll be on tenterhooks all day long! To put it bluntly, if one or a few of them do this, they might incur the wrath of the higher-ups. If we all work together, then the law doesn't punish the masses and everyone will be fine. "
The group of people rolled their eyes.
'Huang Fujun?' Y looked at him coldly. She realized that Tian Fenghao was trying his best to kill Miao Yi to avenge his master, and kept egging him on. For a shopkeeper to say such bold words, it was likely that there was someone behind him. How could a shopkeeper make a decision on such a huge matter? In any case, she didn't believe that Tian Fenghao had the guts to do so. Just these words alone could easily cause trouble. She knew it from the way Tian Fenghao tried to force Spiritual Master Yu Xu out.
'The current Huang Fujun?' Y integrated herself into Miao Yi's personal standpoint and began to worry for him. Back then, Miao Yi had beheaded thousands of people in Heaven's Avenue. After all, those were the heads of servants. However, he had killed so many nobles' children during the assessment. He might not be able to get away with it. It was evident from Tian Fenghao's attitude. From now on, there would be many people secretly plotting against Miao Yi in Heaven's Avenue. Their goal was obviously to kill Miao Yi. It was unlikely that they would go against Miao Yi's authority openly. After all, Miao Yi represented the Heavenly Court here. However, once those people found an opportunity in the dark, Miao Yi's fate would be obvious!
Even if Miao Yi's invitation was to bury the hatchet, Tian Fenghao's attitude made Huang Fujun cautious. She didn't think it was suitable for Miao Yi to stay in Heaven's Avenue. There were too many nobles with all kinds of backgrounds here. Their children were killed. Not all nobles were so magnanimous. They couldn't figure out who was harboring evil intentions in the dark. She was prepared to go back and persuade Miao Yi to leave Heaven's Avenue as soon as possible. She wanted to find another place with less influence.
However, when she thought about it, Miao Yi's foundation all these years was in Heaven's Avenue. Huang Fujun … Y didn't even know where Miao Yi could go. What's more, there were so many of his trusted subordinates here!
They didn't know that Miao Yi wanted to leave too. He even contacted Gao Guan, but he couldn't leave!
Wu Hanshan sneered, "Shopkeeper Tian, you make it sound so easy."
"No, no!" Zhou Ran hurriedly waved his hand to stop him, "If Niu Youde really forced us to that point, it would be reasonable for you to do what you did to protect yourself. However, if nothing happened and we took the initiative to kill him, what kind of character would that be? Just because of our background? Just because we joined forces to kill our way into the City-Guarding Palace? The City-Guarding Palace represents the Heavenly Court here. Niu Youde is the Great Commander of His Majesty's territory. We joined forces for no reason. If we can do it today, won't others be able to do it tomorrow? What do you think His Majesty will think? You don't even follow the basic rules of the game. Are you trying to rebel?! "
Seeing that no one agreed, Tian Fenghao chuckled, "I'm just joking. That guy is just too annoying. Anyway, the banquet is for the people of the Eastern District. It's up to you whether you want to go or not! "
In the end, the discussion didn't come to a conclusion. It could only be said that if something happened, everyone would advance and retreat together. However, no one knew if that promise could be kept until there was a possibility of a threat.
After the meeting, Huang Fujun? Y immediately contacted Miao Yi when she returned to the Hall of Heroes. She wanted to meet Miao Yi, but Miao Yi dismissed her by saying he had business to attend to.
Who knew if he really had business to attend to! Huang Fujun? Y was so angry that she wanted to verify it with him directly. Unfortunately, the City-Guarding Palace was protected by a great array. She couldn't even go underground. If Miao Yi didn't activate the protective array, she would definitely trigger the alarm if she forced her way in. So, as long as Miao Yi didn't agree, she couldn't enter the City-Guarding Palace.
And Miao Yi indeed had official business to attend to. He had already sent out over a hundred invitations to the top shopkeepers of the Eastern District. The next step was naturally to organize the banquet. Miao Yi handed this matter over to Xu Tangran.
"Don't worry, Great Commander. I will definitely take care of this matter." Xu Tangran patted his chest as a guarantee.
"There's one more thing I need you to do."
"Please instruct me, Great Commander."
Miao Yi switched to telepathy, "Go think of a way to get some poison. It's best if it's colorless and odorless, the kind that can't be found in food."
"Ah!" Xu Tangran was shocked. He looked around and switched to telepathy, "Great Commander, do you really want to make a move on those shopkeepers at the banquet?"
"Make a move? If I want to make a move, I won't just target the Eastern District. Just do it. I have other uses."
Xu Tangran thought about it and nodded, "Alright! Leave this matter to me. "
Miao Yi warned, "Don't let anyone know about this, and don't let anyone know that you have anything to do with it. The moment the news gets out, bring your head to me!"
Xu Tangran said sneakily, "Don't worry, Sir. I promise I'll do it without anyone knowing!"
"Go!"
Miao Yi waved his hand and dismissed Xu Tangran. He watched Xu Tangran's departing figure and narrowed his eyes.
