He was putting on an act for the great commander to see, to express the indignation in his heart.
However, he was still a little afraid. If the Grand Commander had really died just now, not to mention how many people he had offended by raiding so many shops, if the higher-ups were to investigate the cause of Gong Yufei and Li Huantang's deaths, without the Grand Commander's backing, some things wouldn't be able to withstand the investigation.
Killing Gong Yufei and Li Huantang was too hasty. It was purely a spur of the moment plan, and there were still flaws. For example, the time of the fight didn't match up, and there were too many opportunists. Who knew if the higher-ups would talk nonsense when they investigated. As long as the Grand Commander was still standing, he wouldn't let it go. With the Grand Commander's deterrence, the people below wouldn't dare to speak carelessly, unless they wanted to die. If the Grand Commander didn't let them go, no one would be able to easily transfer them out.
Murong Xinghua couldn't help but roll his eyes. He couldn't stand this bootlicker. He didn't know how to restrain himself in front of so many people.
Miao Yi glanced at him. He was already used to Xu Tangran's flattery.
After venting his anger, Xu Tangran ran back with a storage bangle and presented it to Miao Yi. "Milord, the assassin's brain can't withstand Milord's torment. I'm afraid it will be difficult to identify them. I hope we can find some clues from the things inside."
Miao Yi took the storage bangle and put it away. After thinking for a while, he said in a low voice, "Open the four city gates!"
"Milord, there are still survivors …" Xu Tangran was just about to remind him, but when he saw Miao Yi's unquestionable gaze, he quickly changed his words. "Yes! Your humble servant obeys! "
Miao Yi retrieved the City-Guarding Palace's grand array activation transcendent artifact and activated it once more. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he strode in and immediately closed the grand array once more. In order to prevent any more assassination attempts, Miao Yi's figure disappeared from everyone's sight.
Fu Qing and the others who were sending him off turned around to look at the scene of blood flowing like a river. They looked at each other and guessed that the smell of blood wouldn't dissipate in a short time. The key was that blood wasn't like running water, it could easily coagulate in the underground drainage channels.
The four of them were busy. Cleaning up this area was a small matter. After raiding so many shops, just organizing and reporting the items would take a lot of time. Xu Tangran also had to think of a way to fabricate an impeccable cause of death report for Gong Yufei and Li Huantang.
Seeing Miao Yi enter the City-Guarding Palace, Qian Luo and the others, who were secretly on guard, heaved a sigh of relief. The City-Guarding Palace was protected by a grand formation, and it wasn't something that could be easily breached by just anyone.
Yun Zhiqiu also heaved a sigh of relief, and he transmitted his voice to the girls beside him, "Let's go back. Let's not disturb him for the time being. I'm afraid he's not in the mood to entertain us right now. "
The large crowd of onlookers looked at the large number of corpses being moved and cleaned up. Many people sighed, and the crowd gradually dispersed with all kinds of discussions. Soon, the news of Great Commander Niu being publicly assassinated spread like wildfire.
When Yun Zhiqiu returned to the upper floor of the Yunrong Restaurant, he was just about to enter his own room when he turned his head to look at the room next door. Suddenly, a wave of anger welled up in his heart, and he instructed, "Qian 'er, go to the room next door and tell her about what happened today. Let's see how she reacts."
All the women of the Miao Family had shown their faces just now, and only Fairy Hong Chen remained in seclusion as usual. She was truly more like a monk than a monk.
Qian 'er quickly returned. Sitting quietly in the pavilion, Yun Zhiqiu tilted his head and asked, "Did she tell her?"
"She did."
"What reaction?"
"She only asked if Milord was alright. When she found out that he was fine, she didn't say anything. Her reaction was very calm."
Yun Zhiqiu snorted, "She really raised an ingrate."
Qian 'er and Xue' er exchanged glances. They realized that Madam seemed to be in a very bad mood today.
In the small world, the Boundless Heaven. After receiving Qin Weiwei's message, Yang Qing, who was sitting behind a long table, put away the Star Bell and shook his head with a bitter smile. "Madam! That cheap son-in-law of ours sure is lucky. "
Standing to the side, Qing Mei and Qing Ju looked at each other in confusion. Qin Xi asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
"Just now, Weiwei sent a message …" Yang Qing explained the situation of Miao Yi's assassination.
Qin Xi was shocked to hear this. "He almost lost his life. How is that lucky?"
"You don't understand!" Yang Qing waved his hand. He didn't want to talk to her any further for now. Right now, he needed to strike while the iron was hot. Using this as an excuse to maintain a close relationship with Miao Yi, he took out the Star Bell.
Miao Yi was currently bathing in the City Guard Palace. He had to admit that he was not used to handling such trivial matters on his own, especially when he was deep in thought. For a person who could easily decide the fate of a group of people, he was no longer the small street vendor he used to be. A single mistake could lead to irreparable losses. It was indeed inappropriate for him to be disturbed by such trivial matters. He definitely needed someone to serve him personally. This was no longer related to putting on airs or enjoying himself. It was a matter of fact.
To put it bluntly, even when it came to women, they should be able to satisfy his needs at any time. It was necessary for him to have multiple wives and concubines. In any case, they shouldn't be the inducement to interfere with him. With Huangfu Jun, he shouldn't have such a messy relationship with Ys.
He did have Bao Lian by his side, but she was a woman. It was inconvenient for her to bathe. If it were any other woman, he might have ordered her around. However, he had a good relationship with the Sect Master of the Vital Energy Sect, Reverend Yuling. He didn't want to accept her granddaughter, yet he asked her to do such a thing for him. What was the point of ruining her innocence?
Although he had many wives and concubines at home, for their safety, it was best not to expose his relationship with them, especially after what happened today. Actually, in the eyes of outsiders, the matter between him and the Lady Boss of the Cloud Beauty Pavilion was already over. They no longer had any contact, and had become a joke.
Yang Qing sent a message. Miao Yi didn't delay in contacting him. After a series of events, it was proven that Yang Qing was indeed more thoughtful than he was. He took out the Star Bell and replied, "What is it?"
Yang Qing: Weiwei just told me about the danger you encountered. Are you alright, Sir? "
Miao Yi: It was a close call. I'm fine.
Yang Qing: Does Sir know who tried to assassinate you?
Miao Yi: I don't know yet. It's more likely that it was the nobles in the Heavenly Court. After all, I just raided so many shops!
Blood Demon? Even the Blood Demon himself didn't dare to do anything to him in the open, let alone instructing Cailian cultivators to do it in the open. It was possible that it was done in the dark. Otherwise, the Great Ensemble would have been the first to kill the Blood Demon.
Miao Yi was still a little suspicious of the traitors in hell. Although he had pretended to be a coward in hell for so many years, there were still many who disliked him. For example, it was very likely that the Five Sages had instructed the Six Dao's spies in the outside world to make a move on him. However, logically speaking, they shouldn't have done it so openly. Furthermore, it was unlikely that they could kill him without obtaining the complete cultivation arts of the Six Great Mystical Arts. Of course, he wasn't going to tell Yang Qing about hell either.
As for the nobles in the Heavenly Court, he was also suspicious of the possibility. Although his position in the Heavenly Court wasn't high, his status as the Grand Commander of this Celestial Avenue wasn't just for show. The assassination at the entrance of the City-Guarding Palace was different from the assassination at the Spring Flower and Autumn Moon Brothel. Once the Spring Flower and Autumn Moon Brothel had succeeded, they could have easily silenced the relevant personnel. There were too many people at the entrance of the City-Guarding Palace, so there was no way to silence them. They couldn't possibly kill everyone in the entire Celestial Avenue.
Secondly, there was the reason that Yang Qing had mentioned earlier. If the Spring Flower and Autumn Moon Brothel had worked together, then the law wouldn't punish too many people. That was why he couldn't figure out who would dare to do such a thing.
Yang Qing: If it was really done by someone related to the Heavenly Court, then I really don't know who could have made such a stupid move. But no matter what, they did help Sir a great deal at this time.
Miao Yi was quite surprised. He was worried that someone would disregard their bottom line and take his life. If that happened, he would be in great danger. He didn't expect Yang Qing to say that it was a good thing. He couldn't help but ask, 'Why do you say that?'
Yang Qing: To be honest, I actually wanted Sir to arrange for such an assassination before this. But sending a Golden Lotus cultivator to assassinate Sir is simply a joke. Sir's reputation of being able to move unhindered in the midst of a million-strong army is not to be trifled with. Not to mention, you also have many troops protecting you. Unless you arrange for a Colorful Lotus cultivator of a higher level. But I don't think anyone would be willing to let a Colorful Lotus cultivator do such a thing. Once they are found out, they will have to bear the consequences. We can arrange for a Golden Lotus cultivator to be one of our own. After all, we can quickly transfer them back to the small world. But it is not realistic for a Golden Lotus cultivator to assassinate Sir. Now it's all good. I didn't think someone would actually help Sir make up for it. '
Miao Yi: 'Why are you bringing this up?'
Yang Qing: 'Whether it's in the mortal realm or above the Nine Heavens, since ancient times, emperors have always been suspicious! Sir, you don't need to make any big fuss. It doesn't matter if it was done by the nobles of the Celestial Court. I'm afraid the Celestial Emperor will be the first to suspect the nobles of the Celestial Court. After all, he was at the bottom of the hierarchy, so it would be hard for him not to be suspicious. If someone below him publicly challenged his authority, it would be hard to say if it was a group of people, but if it was just one person, he would definitely punish the person as a warning to the others. Once he finds out, he won't let them go easily. Once this matter is out, anyone who jumps out to cause trouble for Sir will be suspected by the Celestial Emperor. As the saying goes, accompanying a ruler is like accompanying a tiger. As long as you can't prove your innocence, no one will be able to bear this suspicion. So, Sir, you don't need to worry about the consequences of today's bloodbath in the Celestial Street. But there is one thing Sir must be careful about. I heard from Weiwei that Sir obtained the storage bracelet from the assassin? '
Miao Yi: 'That's right!'
Yang Qing: 'I hope that the assassin doesn't have anything on him that will implicate the identity of the mastermind. If it was really done by the nobles of the Celestial Court, there might be people who will eliminate Sir at all costs and destroy the evidence. So, Sir, you must not give anyone the chance to make a move in the near future. You must wait until the Celestial Court has sent someone to investigate. I believe the people from the Celestial Court will be here soon. There is another possibility. Once the mastermind doesn't have the chance to make a move, he will very likely show himself and negotiate with Sir. Sir, you must be mentally prepared. The evidence cannot be handed over to the other party. Without any evidence, Sir will be in danger. But you can still fight for some benefits. '
Miao Yi: 'You also suspect that it was done by the nobles of the Celestial Court?'
Yang Qing: 'I can't confirm who did it either. After all, I don't know much about Sir's interactions with others in the small world, so I can't make a judgment. I can only remind Sir to be prepared. Also, after this incident, I'm afraid it will affect Sir's future. Sir's bloodbath in Heaven's Avenue will affect the interests of the nobles. A mere Heaven's Origin Planet is fine, but once Sir is promoted to the position of Heaven's Avenue's Main Town, then the interests involved will be even greater. If Sir keeps doing this kind of thing, I'm afraid no one will be happy to see him promoted. Even the Empress will have to consider the interests of the Xiahou Clan.
Miao Yi didn't need Yang Qing to remind him about this. He was well aware of this point. When he made up his mind to do this, he didn't expect to be promoted normally. He had never considered such distant matters. No matter what, he would always think about establishing himself in the present. If he was like Yang Qing, worrying about this and that, then he wouldn't be able to do anything at all. If he couldn't deal with the present, then there was no point in blindly worrying about the future. That was why he first defeated the people from the Chamber of Commerce in front of him, who were likely to shoot arrows at him. As for the future, he would take it one step at a time.
