Of course, he did not want to do anything to Lady Biyue unless he had no other choice. Now that he had her under his control, he wanted to study her a little. It would be a waste to destroy her right away.
Miao Yi also didn't wish for Murong Xinghua to go against him to the point of going against him.
After the arrangements were made, the three of them left to prepare.
After returning to the West District Commander's Office, Xu Tangran brought a few people with him to the Spring Flower and Autumn Moon Tower. He was there to communicate with the Chamber of Commerce.
When it was almost evening, President Zhou Ran and the four vice presidents were waiting at the entrance of the Spring Flower and Autumn Moon Tower. Xu Tangran, who was in charge of communication, was there as well.
The shopkeepers of the shops in the Fourth District arrived one after another. Some of them actually didn't want to come, but when they saw that everyone else had gone to support Commander Niu, it seemed inappropriate for them not to come. Others were willing to reconcile, but they didn't want to. So, they still had to put on a show. Even Tian Feng, the shopkeeper who disliked Commander Niu the most, reluctantly appeared behind Zhou Ran and the others.
As for those who were not presentable, had no relationship with Commander Niu, and had no grudge against him, they did not want to get involved in this mess.
The Spring Flower and Autumn Moon Tower was called a tower, but it was actually a large garden. To be able to purchase such a large garden in Sky Street, where every inch of land was worth its weight in gold, one could only imagine its background. It was the property of the Xiahou family, managed by Shopkeeper Zhou Ran. It was also the Chamber of Commerce's clubhouse.
More than five hundred shopkeepers were gathered at the entrance of the Spring Flower and Autumn Moon Tower. It was a grand scene.
"Commander Xu, are you satisfied with the dishes I have prepared? If there is anything wrong, I will send someone to adjust it. "
"Shopkeeper Zhou, you are too serious. You know that this is how we do things. We cannot let our superiors have an opinion. I will not be at ease until I take a look. I hope you will not take it to heart."
"Commander Xu is a conscientious man. There is no doubt that you will have a bright future."
"I hope Shopkeeper Zhou's words will come true."
Zhou Ran and Xu Tangran stood in front of the crowd, complimenting each other.
After a while, Zhou Ran looked around, cupped his hands at Xu Tangran, and found an excuse to leave with the other shopkeepers.
"Send a few men to keep an eye on the Fourth District Commander's Office. If there is any movement, report to me immediately."
"Guild Leader Zhou, aren't you overthinking things? If we really fight, how can the people guarding this place be a match for us? If he dares to touch us for no reason, I guarantee that he will die a miserable death. "
"President Zhou, to tell you the truth, we've already arranged for a few Colorful Lotus cultivators to be on standby in your garden. If there are any changes, we won't hold back."
"President Zhou's words are right. There's no harm in being careful. It's better to send a few people to the governor's manor in the fourth city district to monitor things."
Seeing so many shopkeepers gathered there, Zhou Ran and the others were a little worried. They stepped aside to make arrangements.
Xu Tangran also took the opportunity to retreat to the side and met up with the subordinates he had brought along. He asked telepathically, "Did you see it clearly?"
His subordinate replied, "It's been verified. All the reputable shopkeepers on Sky Street are here. Sir, why are you checking this? "
Xu Tangran: "Of course it's to see if there's anyone who doesn't want to reconcile with the commander so that we can be more careful in the future. Oh right, check the kitchen more often. See if Old Wu has left her post. If there's no one keeping an eye on her, be careful that someone might tamper with the food. "
Actually, he was the one who had tampered with the food. He used the opportunity of checking ahead to secretly tamper with the food. He also arranged for someone to keep an eye on the kitchen to prevent anyone from changing the food he had tampered with. When Zhou Ran heard that Miao Yi had arranged for someone to keep an eye on the kitchen, he thought that Miao Yi was afraid that someone would tamper with the food. He laughed at Miao Yi for gauging the heart of a gentleman with his own mean measure!
"Don't worry, Sir. Old Wu has been watching over there."
Xu Tangran nodded. As he turned around, he took out the Star Bell and contacted Miao Yi, "Sir, everything is ready. We can depart now."
Small World, Boundless Heaven. The sky was just beginning to brighten. Yang Qing stood on the observation deck with his hands behind his back, gazing into the distance. The dew was heavy, slightly dampening his clothes. It was obvious that he had been standing there for a long time.
Qin Xi gently climbed up the observation deck. When she saw Yang Qing, she took out a cloak and draped it over his shoulders.
No matter how she had been in the past, it was only after following Yang Qing that she truly felt like a married woman. She truly felt what it was like to be a married couple. Perhaps it was because the two of them already had a daughter between them.
"Is there still no news from that side?" Qin Xi asked as she pulled on the cloak.
Yang Qing narrowed his eyes and said, "Looking at the time, it should be about time for them to make their move."
Qin Xi pondered for a moment, then asked, "Are you waiting here because you're worried that Miao Yi will fail?"
Yang Qing shook his head and said, "Our cheap son-in-law's adaptability is quite good. In this aspect, perhaps even I am not as good as him. As long as the plan is formulated, even if something unexpected happens, he will have the ability to deal with it. There shouldn't be any problems. I'm just afraid …"
Qin Xi asked curiously, "Since you said he has the ability, what are you afraid of?"
Yang Qing smiled bitterly and said, "That guy has always listened to my suggestions selectively. I'm afraid he won't listen to me completely. I don't know what he will do in the end. After all, Weiwei is on the other side. I won't be able to rest easy until I receive confirmation. "
His guess was right. Miao Yi really didn't listen to him completely. For example, when it came to Madam Bi Yue, he told Miao Yi to use words to scare her. However, Miao Yi was more honest and almost scared her to death.
Inside the Citadel Palace, Fu Qing, Invincible Eagle, and Murong Xinghua stood in the courtyard, waiting.
After a while, Miao Yi walked out of the room and said, "Let's go!"
The three of them quickly looked to their left and right. They saw two strangers coming out from the corners of the corridor. Bao Lian also came out and quickly followed behind them.
After the group left the palace, they took to the skies and flew directly over the sky street, landing in front of the Spring Flower Autumn Moon Tavern.
"Commander!"
The sound of people cupping their hands in greeting immediately filled the air. The Spring Flower Autumn Moon Tavern was bustling with activity.
"The Spring Flower Autumn Moon Tavern is honored by your presence, Commander. Please come in!" Zhou Ran turned around and extended his hand in invitation. The shopkeepers blocking the entrance immediately parted to make a path for them.
Miao Yi and Zhou Ran walked in front, chatting cheerfully as the group of shopkeepers followed behind them.
There was a lake in the middle of the garden of the Spring Flower Autumn Moon Tavern. The scenery of the lake was man-made, and there were pavilions on top of the lake. The pavilion in the center had four sides, and it had three floors.
Lanterns were lit, and the lake reflected the neon lights. Inside the pavilion, a group of scantily clad women could be seen twisting and turning their bodies seductively as they danced.
The Chamber of Commerce was naturally generous. They had invited three singing and dancing troupes, and the Heaven Incense Pavilion was only one of them.
The group of people followed behind Miao Yi. Miao Yi only glanced at the coquettish dancers in the hall, then walked around the hall. Xu Tangran, who had fought before, was already familiar with the situation. He led the way and sent Miao Yi to the seat of honor high above.
The distance from the entrance of the Spring Flower Autumn Moon Tavern to the center of the lake was a short distance. In the time it took for the group to walk, the food and drinks for five hundred people had already been prepared. The food was steaming hot, and the efficiency was extremely high.
Xu Tangran looked at the four people standing behind Miao Yi, and secretly transmitted his voice to Miao Yi, "Milord, the thing is in the wine."
Miao Yi gave him a sidelong glance, and realized that this guy was indeed good at doing shady things. He was actually able to add something to the wine in someone else's territory, right under their noses. Miao Yi nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.
Xu Tangran retreated, and together with Fu Qing and the other two, they took their seats to the left and right of Miao Yi. Below them were Zhou Ran and the others.
At this time, someone ran to Zhou Ran's side and transmitted his voice, "Everything is the same over at the Fourth District Governor's Manor. I don't see any troops being mobilized."
"Keep watching. Report to me immediately if there's anything out of the ordinary!" Zhou Ran replied, then waved his hand to signal the others to leave.
More than a hundred people sat in a circle inside the huge loft. Another two hundred people sat at the bottom of the steps outside the loft, and the rest sat at the bottom of the outermost steps. The people sitting outside the loft could no longer see the situation inside. Clearly, it had something to do with their status, and they were only there to serve as a foil. However, they could still see Miao Yi sitting at the highest point inside.
Dong! A melodious bell chimed, and the music immediately came to an abrupt stop. The thirty or so seductive women dancing in the hall immediately stopped and lined up in a square formation. They all knelt down and bowed their heads to Miao Yi, who was sitting at the highest point. They stuck out their buttocks and kowtowed to the ground, motionless.
No matter how respectful they were, or how revealing their outfits were, none of the guests paid them any heed. Not many of them even looked at them. Everyone's attention was on Miao Yi. 'They look like Huangfu Jun? ' Y and the other female shopkeepers frowned when they saw the dancers' outfits. Putting aside the fact that they were immoral, the problem was that they were women. It was too shameful for them. At the same time, they cursed in their hearts, 'There's no good man out there!'
Zhou Ran stood up and raised his cup to the crowd. After the five hundred or so shopkeepers stood up and raised their cups, Zhou Ran raised his cup and laughed, "The Great Commander has taken time out of his busy schedule to grace the Spring Flower and Autumn Moon Tavern with his presence. Let us toast to the Great Commander!"
"To the Great Commander!" the crowd said in unison, raising their cups and drinking.
Miao Yi, who was sitting at the highest point, also raised his cup and said in a clear voice, "As the Great Commander of Sky Street, I will inevitably need your help in the future. No matter what happened in the past, after this cup of wine, let us forget our differences!"
'Let bygones be bygones after a cup of wine? Who do you think you are? ' Many people laughed coldly in their hearts, but on the surface, they still gave him face. They quickly filled their cups and raised theirs again, saying in unison, "Let us forget our differences!"
Miao Yi drank first. He glanced at the crowd and drank another cup, then smiled and extended his hand to invite them to take a seat. Everyone happily thanked him and sat down.
Zhou Ran raised his hand.
Dong! A melodious bell chimed again.
