"…" Xu Tangran was dumbfounded. The Great Commander's hint couldn't be any clearer. He had already dealt with the higher-ups.
He found it hard to imagine why Madam Biyue would hand over her two trusted subordinates to Miao Yi. He was secretly surprised by Miao Yi's ability.
He also knew what to do. He nodded and said, "Don't worry, Master. I will definitely make sure that Gong Yufei and Li Huantang are dead. If there is a mistake, it has nothing to do with Master. I will take responsibility alone."
He knew very well what it meant to do such a thing. The Heavenly Court might not be fair, but the rules of the game were right there. Although it was easy for the higher-ups to kill the people below, they had to follow the rules. They couldn't just kill as they pleased. Without the rules, the people below would panic. Wouldn't the Heavenly Court be in chaos? Once the higher-ups found out, it would be very troublesome …
The invitation to the West District was sent out. Huangfu Jun? Y also came. The consequences were naturally to settle old and new debts.
He lied to her and said he wouldn't participate in the assessment. After participating in the assessment, he refused to contact her. After returning, he refused to see her. What happened to their secret lover relationship? She caught Miao Yi and scolded him. After scolding him, they did what they were supposed to do. The two rolled together again …
After the clouds and rain stopped, Huangfu Beauty's anger also subsided. Her hair was messy, and she lay on the bed naked, unwilling to move.
Slap slap! Miao Yi patted her butt and teased, "Didn't you blame me for not seeing you before? How about you stay with me in the City Guard Palace for a few days?"
She pushed his hand away. Huangfu Jun? Y sat up lazily, lying on his back and hugging his neck. "You wish. Disappearing for a few days without coming back for no reason. What if my mother gets suspicious?" Then she breathed in his ear and said, "Come to my place tonight …"
Miao Yi smiled and said, "I have something to do here."
"Who are you talking about? You're the one who's wild! " Y spat. But thinking of the madness from before, her cheeks secretly reddened. She gently bit his earlobe. "Mother Xu of the Heavenly Fragrance House asked me to be the matchmaker."
Miao Yi was stunned. "Matchmaker for what?"
Huangfu Jun? Y snickered. "She likes you."
Miao Yi shuddered at the thought of that woman in heavy makeup, "Are you kidding me?"
Huangfu was stunned for a moment before she burst into laughter. She laughed so hard that her snow-white breasts were shaking. Lying on his shoulder, she said breathlessly, "It's Xue Linglong. Mrs. Xu asked me to be the matchmaker between you and Xue Linglong, hoping to marry Xue Linglong to you. What do you mean by that? Don't tell me you don't mind my background? "
However, it would be a lie to say that he wasn't attracted to Xue Linglong. Xue Linglong's talents and beauty were there for all to see. Any normal man would be attracted to her. However, given his current situation, it was impossible for him to officially marry Xue Linglong. He could consider taking her in as a concubine, but Yun Zhiqiu would probably be a tough nut to crack. Not to mention, he had stopped Xu Tangran back then. If he were to make a move now, it would be unseemly. Xu Tangran …
After some consideration, Miao Yi shook his head and said, "Not interested."
"Even if you are interested, it won't work. Even if you agree, I can still ruin it for you. Stop dreaming about having two beauties. You don't have to worry about this anymore. I'll handle it." She poked the back of his head, then wrapped her arms around his neck and said, "Let's get down to business. It's not suitable for you to stay in this Heavenly Street anymore. Think of a way to move somewhere else?"
Miao Yi turned around and asked, "What? Does the Chamber of Commerce have any plans? "
'Huangfu Jun?' Y said, "I don't have any plans at the moment, but have you thought about it? Heavenly Street is filled with all kinds of powers. Not everyone can be magnanimous enough to forgive a petty person like you. You can compromise, but others might not let you go so easily. After all, you killed so many powerful people in the Land of Purgatory. On the surface, it might seem peaceful, but there might be people looking for a chance to deal with you in secret."
A cold light flashed across Miao Yi's eyes, then he smiled faintly and pulled the arm around his neck. "Ah!" Huangfu Jun? Y cried out in surprise and fell into his arms, lying on his lap and staring at him.
Miao Yi lifted her chin and said, "Where else can I go after leaving Heavenly Street?"
'Huangfu Jun?' Y's eyes flashed coquettishly, but it was obvious that she liked this tone. She reached out and pulled his ear, "I've already thought of a way out for you. Marry me! After leaving Heavenly Street and marrying into my Huangfu Family, no one in the court will dare to make a move on you. We won't have to be sneaky anymore. "
"Haha!" With the beauty in his arms, Miao Yi threw his head back and laughed, as though he had heard the funniest joke in the world.
'Huangfu Jun?' Y was stunned and stared at him in a daze, realizing that he was laughing so boldly. Unexpectedly, Miao Yi swung his arm and threw her to the side as though he was throwing a small object. He got off the bed and picked up his clothes to wear.
'A naked Huangfu Jun flipping around like a lamb?' Y immediately flew into a rage and grabbed a pillow to throw at him. Who would have thought that the usually noble and dignified Shopkeeper Huangfu would have such a shameful appearance today?
Miao Yi brushed away the pillow with ease, as though he was used to the other party throwing pillows. He said as he put on his clothes, "It's impossible to marry into the family. Let's take one step at a time! This time, I'm really showing my sincerity to turn hostility into friendship. That's why we're taking turns to treat you. However, I still have to hang around in Heavenly Street in the future. I've shown my attitude, so shouldn't your Chamber of Commerce show some attitude as well? If you really want to help me, then help me save some face … "
Among the flowers, Xu Tangran picked a flower and held it in his hand. He sniffed it from time to time, coldly observing the situation.
Gong Yufei and Li Huantang stood in front of Miao Yi.
Miao Yi didn't say a word and coldly stared at the two of them. The scene at the manor at the foot of Dong Hua Town Manor flashed in his mind. At that time, the two of them weren't so obedient.
Gong Yufei and Li Huantang also didn't say a word. The two of them had already paid their respects, but they didn't receive Miao Yi's reply. They didn't dare to look directly into Miao Yi's eyes. They felt uncomfortable under Miao Yi's gaze, and were worried that Miao Yi would act rashly.
After a while, Miao Yi slowly stepped forward with his hands behind his back. He stood in front of the two of them and stretched out a hand to touch Gong Yufei's face.
Gong Yufei was shocked. She instinctively leaned back and reached out to block Miao Yi's hand.
"Hmm?" Miao Yi made a sound of doubt, his gaze cold.
Li Huantang hurriedly gave Gong Yufei a look, as though he was hinting that a little impatience would spoil a great plan.
Gong Yufei also knew that once she was accused of insubordination, Miao Yi would find an excuse to attack her. Her lips tightened, and she slowly lowered her hand.
Miao Yi reached out and pinched her chin and cheeks. As though he was inspecting an animal, he tilted Gong Yufei's head left and right to admire her.
Gong Yufei's face flushed red. She couldn't bear the shame and anger. She had never had physical contact with a man before. She also knew that her abilities were limited, but she still had some charm. She was very clear that this was her last asset. She had always been waiting for a good price, waiting for a worthy and suitable man to appear before entrusting her life to him. Only then would she not have lived in vain.
Pinching her face left and right, Miao Yi said indifferently, "Why don't you stay and accompany me tonight?"
Xu Tangran, who was sniffing the fresh flowers, was startled. His eyes flashed as he looked over, revealing a thoughtful expression.
Gong Yufei was shocked. She shook her head abruptly and broke free from Miao Yi's evil clutches. She quickly retreated and cupped her hands, saying, "Please conduct yourself with dignity, Grand Commander!"
Miao Yi gave up and didn't mention this matter again. With his hands behind his back, he said, "You two are quite bold. You still dare to come to my place!"
Gong Yufei said, "The entire Dong Hua Main Town Manor is under the jurisdiction of the Main Town Lord. We have been transferred to this position. If the Grand Commander has any objections, we can return." This was a hint to Miao Yi. If he was dissatisfied with the decree from above, they could return.
"You two have been away for too long. Go to the West District and familiarize yourself with the situation first." Miao Yi left the two behind and turned to leave. As he walked, he said, "Xu Tangran, I'll leave them to you."
"Yes!" Xu Tangran cupped his hands and accepted the order. He immediately turned around and smiled at the two, saying, "The two of you can go to the West District Commander's Manor to rest first. I will be there soon."
The two couldn't wait to leave this place. They cupped their hands and left immediately.
Xu Tangran chased them into the main hall. He walked to Miao Yi's side and said in a low voice, "Sir, if you are interested in Gong Yufei, I will think of a way to arrange it."
Miao Yi gave him a sideways glance. Gong Yufei was indeed quite pretty, but he really didn't think much of her. Which of the wives and concubines in his family was inferior to Gong Yufei? What sneaky Huangfu Jun? Y could also surpass Gong Yufei by a few streets. Was it worth it? He was just humiliating Gong Yufei just now, but this bootlicker had his eyes set on him.
"Not interested. Mind your own business."
"Uhh …" Xu Tangran knew his attempt at flattery had gone too far. He quickly nodded and left. After he left, he was still puzzled. What was up with the Grand Commander? Why didn't he get close to a woman? Could it be with that Bao Lian? That couldn't be right. Based on Old Xu's judgment, that Bao Lian should still be a virgin …
City Guard Palace. It was another evening when the lanterns were lit. This time, the guests were the shopkeepers of the West District. The West District Commander, Xu Tangran, was personally welcoming the guests at the entrance of the City Guard Palace.
Gong Yufei and Li Huantang were also dragged along by him. These days, Xu Tangran would drag the two of them around whenever he had nothing to do.
This time, there were clearly more guests. Unlike last time, the shopkeepers of the hundred or so shops who received the invitation all showed up.
Spiritual Master Yuxu was here as well.
Huangfu Jun? Y was here as well. However, as she entered through the main entrance, her gaze was a little unfocused. She was already used to entering and exiting the City Guard Palace through the underground tunnels. She was used to sneaking around, so she felt a little uneasy when she was suddenly here.
That night at the banquet, the host and guest were once again in a joyous mood. Great Commander Miao gave them face, and the shopkeepers seated below him were also respectful on the surface. The atmosphere was quite good.
However, Mama Xu could only watch Xue Linglong dance outside through the window of the pavilion. Seeing how Xue Linglong was giving her all to perform in front of Miao Yi, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart. She had entrusted Huangfu Jun? Now that the matter with Y had fallen through, she didn't know how to break the news to Xue Linglong. She was afraid that the girl would be shocked. She knew that Xue Linglong was moved by her words, and was already mentally prepared to marry Great Commander Niu.
Little did she know that she had entrusted the wrong person!
