Lady Biyue had to give in to him. No matter what, he was right, and he had a set of reasons. She didn't want to argue with him as she couldn't win. She said bluntly, "I'm already like this, why are you still talking so much nonsense?" Let me ask you, aren't you afraid that he will set a trap for me? "
Marquis Tianyuan: "I'm not as simple-minded as you! How? Not to mention you're still the Dong Hua Headquarter. As long as the Dong Hua Headquarter hasn't changed masters, he won't dare to do anything to you! Even if something happens to you in hell, although it is not convenient for me to directly intervene in the matters of Sky Street, I can still instruct Lan Xiang, who is in charge, to make up a crime to arrest him. Lan Xiang can kill him directly and then make up a crime for him afterwards. Would he dare to do anything to you? He's smart. He knows that if you die, he won't be angry if you don't follow the rules. Will the higher-ups blame a dead man like you? "
Lady Biyue: "You're the dead man! Don't you want me to die early? Is it more convenient for you to hook up with others after I die?
Even if you don't die, I'll still hook up with others. What can you do to me? " Of course, Marquis Tianyuan only kept this in his heart. He couldn't say it out loud …
In the back garden of the Dong Hua Headquarter.
As soon as Deputy Chief Steward Lan Xiang issued the decree, Gong Yufei and Li Huantang, who were standing in front of them, felt as if they had been struck by lightning.
Both of them stared blankly for a while. When they finally came to their senses, Gong Yufei suddenly pleaded with a frightened expression, "Second Chief Steward, we can't join Niu Youde's team. We have offended him. If we join his team, he will take our lives!"
Li Huantang nodded with a pale face, "Deputy chief steward, if we did something wrong, just tell us. You can hit and scold us, but we can't go to Niu Youde's place. Niu Youde is a vengeful villain. If we go to his place, we'll die miserably!"
Lan Xiang was holding Lady Biyue's pink fox in her arms. Looking at the two, she sighed in her heart. "If you knew this would happen, you shouldn't have done it. They just gave you some benefits and you just followed them. Why did you follow them when you couldn't afford to play? If you were really good at playing, you would have gotten the Marquis's help for you after following Madam for so many years. Now that someone wants to settle the score, you can't blame others for your own death!
On the surface, he maintained his composure and smiled. "You're thinking too much! I've already given him a decree. If anything happens to the two of you, he can forget about his position as commander. If anything happens to the two of you, I'll put the blame on him. "
When the two of them heard this, they felt slightly relieved. However, they still couldn't figure it out! Gong Yufei's expression was unsightly as she asked, "Second Chief Steward, why do you want us to go to his place?"
Lan Xiang said, "Recently, Niu Youde's side seems to be a little strange, so I want you to be his informants. If you discover anything strange, report to me immediately! And the reason why I'm letting you go is because the two of you have a grudge against him, so it won't be easy for him to bribe you. Back then, Madam had given him up. Who knows if he harbored resentment or had ulterior motives? Do you understand what I mean? "
So that was the reason. However, the two of them were still a little worried. Li Huantang tried asking, "Second Chief Steward, can you send someone else?"
Lan Xiang's gaze shifted, and her expression instantly darkened. She sneered and said, "It seems my words no longer matter now that Madam has left. She's already starting to bargain with me!"
"No, no!" Li Huantang panicked. He quickly waved his hands and said, "That's not what I meant. It's just that my abilities are limited. I'm afraid I'll disappoint Second Chief Steward. Since Second Chief Steward thinks highly of me, I, Li Huantang, will definitely do my best!"
Seeing that there was no turning back, the two of them could only resign to their fate and take their leave.
As she watched the two of them leave, the Second Chief Steward gently stroked the pink fox's glossy fur in her arms. She shook her head and sighed. She didn't know why Madam would suddenly order the two of them to go to Miao Yi's place, but she was definitely going to be the scapegoat for this.
After leaving the back garden, the two of them stopped under a large tree and conversed with each other via voice transmission.
Li Huantang cupped his fists and said, "Deacon Gong, that Niu Youde isn't a pushover. Even though he has the Second Chief Steward's support, even if he doesn't dare to kill us, I'm afraid he'll still try his best to make things difficult for us! I'm afraid we won't be able to avoid some humiliation. "
Gong Yufei's face darkened. She gritted her teeth and said, "We can only endure it for now! However, I'm sure you understand what Second Chief Steward is trying to say. Madam already has a grudge against Niu Youde. Why don't we use this to our advantage? We can think of a way to accuse him of some crime and prevent any future troubles! "
Li Huantang looked around and gave her a thumbs up. "Good idea! Once we get there, I will definitely obey Deacon Gong's every command! "
Having reached an agreement, the two of them smiled at each other. Then, they turned around and left, ready to endure the humiliation and leave …
Back at Heavenly Origin Planet's City Palace, Xu Tangran walked briskly into the palace. After notifying Miao Yi, he immediately entered the harem.
When he saw Miao Yi in the pavilion, he happened to see Commander Miao handing over a pile of invitations to Bao Lian, asking her to deliver them to the shopkeepers of the shops in the western district.
Xu Tangran sighed inwardly. The Commander was going to have to lower his head and invite those merchants to a banquet again.
Miao Yi didn't slow down either. He immediately took the initiative and accepted the task. "There's no need to trouble Miss Bao Lian. Just leave it to me. It just so happens that I'm in charge of this area. I'll have my subordinates deliver the invitations later. That way, Miss Bao Lian won't have to make the trip."
"Since he's here, then give it to him." Miao Yi gestured. After Bao Lian handed over the invitations, Miao Yi asked Xu Tangran, "Is there something you need?"
"Haha! There is indeed something … "Xu Tangran rubbed his hands together, smiling humbly and mysteriously. He just didn't want to say what it was.
Miao Yi understood and said to Bao Lian, "You may leave now."
As she turned around to leave, Bao Lian shot Xu Tangran a disdainful glance. Out of all the people under Miao Yi's command, Bao Lian hated Xu Tangran the most. In her eyes, Xu Tangran was nothing more than a bootlicker. For the sake of flattery, the mighty Commander of the Western District would come to the kitchen to cook for no apparent reason. He was even more attentive and attentive to his needs than she was, which disgusted her greatly. He made it seem as if she was not doing her job properly.
Of course, the person she hated the most was Xu Tangran. Whenever he appeared in front of Miao Yi, he would put on a disgusting, obsequious face. He would bow and scrape to Miao Yi, and the moment he stepped out of the City Palace, he would immediately put his hands behind his back and act all high and mighty, as if this Celestial Street was his territory.
She had told Miao Yi about this many times, but she couldn't understand why the Commander still valued that despicable person so highly. The number of times he summoned this despicable person to the City Palace was more than the other three Commanders combined.
Miao Yi didn't know why either. He didn't like people like Xu Tangran either. If this was in the past, Miao Yi would have kicked Xu Tangran far, far away. He wouldn't have kept him by his side. However, Miao Yi found people like Xu Tangran to be very useful. Xu Tangran might not be very capable, but he would do whatever he was told to do. If he had the right conditions, he could do it well. If he didn't, he would try his best to create the right conditions.
After Bao Lian left, Xu Tangran quickly went up to Miao Yi and refilled his teacup with the pot on the table.
Miao Yi glanced at him and said, "What is it? Speak."
Xu Tangran put down the pot and said sneakily, "Milord, I have brought you what you wanted." As he said this, he took out two black and white porcelain bottles the size of a fist and placed them in front of Miao Yi. Without waiting for Miao Yi to ask, Xu Tangran pointed at them and explained, "The Fallen Immortal! This is a good thing. The only flaw is that the effects of the poison are a little slow. It will take some time for the poison to take effect. However, it definitely meets your requirements. If you put it in food, it will be colorless and odorless. Most importantly, after the victim dies from the poison, there will be no signs of poisoning. The black bottle contains the poison, while the white bottle contains the antidote. I have already tested it on the prisoners on death row. The effects of the poison and antidote are absolutely fine! "
'The Fallen Immortal?' Miao Yi seemed to have heard of this before. He asked suspiciously, "Why does this sound like a poison unique to Traversing Moon Palace?"
Xu Tangran chuckled and said, "Milord, you are wise! It is indeed a poison unique to Traversing Moon Palace. "
Miao Yi was surprised. "I heard that this is something that Traversing Moon Palace doesn't distribute to outsiders. How did you get it?"
"The cultivation world is filled with violence. Traversing Moon Palace disciples will always leave their belongings in the outside world after they die. How could they not distribute it? It was very easy to get my hands on it. I had someone buy it from the black market."
"Then you must have spent a lot of money on it, right?"
"It was quite expensive, but I didn't spend a single cent! Milord has instructed me not to leak this information. I have already dealt with the relevant personnel. No one will know that I have anything to do with this. "Xu Tangran made a gesture of cutting his throat.
Miao Yi was speechless. 'Then why did you say you bought it?'
Miao Yi smiled and put it away. He was prepared to test the effects of the poison later. He couldn't just listen to this guy's words. "There is another matter I need you to handle."
"Please instruct me, Milord." Xu Tangran listened respectfully.
"I have just received news from the East Flower Town Headquarters. Gong Yufei and Li Huantang will be coming to our place soon. I will send them to where you are after this."
"Uh …" Xu Tangran was stunned. Back then, the incident of Miao Yi being humiliated had been purposely spread by someone with ulterior motives. How could he not know about the matters between Gong Yufei, Li Huantang, and Miao Yi? With a face filled with righteous indignation, he said, "Those two still dare to run here? Are they courting death?"
Miao Yi replied, "You are right. They are indeed courting death. I did not mistreat Gong Yufei back then. Aside from not giving her any authority, I have never withheld any benefits from her. You know what happened after that. They are quite bold. They think that I can't do anything to them just because they escaped from my hands! Think of a way to deal with the two of them. Do it cleanly. Don't make it impossible to report to the higher-ups. Do you understand what I mean? "
Xu Tangran was shocked. He hesitated and said, "They are Madam Biyue's trusted subordinates. They have followed her for many years. Is this appropriate?"
