The Great Commander of the Left Supervisory Guard commanded at least a hundred thousand soldiers. The Celestial Emperor's Imperial Guards had been fighting all over the place for a long time. They were all elite soldiers and well-equipped, which was not something the people in Sky Avenue could compare to.
Imagine this, if Niu Youde used the excuse of 'suppressing bandits' to search Sky Avenue, who would dare to resist? Even if you knew he was trying to stir up trouble, would you dare to touch the Celestial Emperor's Imperial Guards? He held great authority over the army. If he purposely tried to harm you, would you be afraid he wouldn't kill you?
Other people might not dare to do it, but this guy had already done it twice. Who could guarantee that this lunatic wouldn't do it a third time? Just as he said, he would die sooner or later. He didn't care at all. He was just throwing caution to the wind.
The group of shopkeepers was truly frightened. Many of their eyes were filled with fear, and their intestines were green with regret.
Even when they knew that Miao Yi was going to be transferred, they didn't dare to gloat over his misfortune for safety's sake. Instead, they kept a low profile, afraid that Miao Yi would make a comeback. It was only now that they were sure that Miao Yi was going to leave that they finally steeled themselves and came to 'send him off'.
Everyone would be courting death! The surrounding guards were watching the scene. Seeing how Great Commander Niu was able to scare the shopkeepers with just a few words, they were secretly amused and a little regretful. He was probably the only one in the entire Sky Avenue system to have such a powerful Great Commander. Naturally, he brought his underlings along with him, causing all the major shops to treat them with respect. Once Great Commander Niu left, everyone would no longer be able to live as comfortably as before.
Fu Qing and Invincible Eagle looked at each other and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. They both sighed, 'Ol' Five, can't you leave us a way out? You're going to leave, and you're still scaring us like this. If the people below compare us to you in the future, how can we endure that?! '
The scene suddenly fell silent. Zhan Ruyi turned around and saw how frightened everyone was. She immediately shouted, "Don't listen to his nonsense. How can the Left Supervisory Guard's troops be mobilized as he pleases?!"
She didn't know if her advice was effective, but Miao Yi's angry shout was very effective. "Get out of my way!"
The sound of footsteps was like a tide, starting from the shopkeepers in front of them. At the back, the crowd that was watching the show quickly parted to the two sides, creating a path. No one dared to block their way.
What a bunch of good-for-nothings. How could they be so easily scared? Zhan Ruyi gritted his teeth in anger.
Seeing this scene, Xu Tangran was secretly envious. He sent a sound transmission to Xue Linglong, "If you can't get people to listen to you, then it's not prestige. If you dare to do something, then it's called courage! Madam, do you see that? This is the prestige and boldness that everyone in power hopes to have. In this land, the Great Commander's words are absolute! "
His original intention was to let Xue Linglong see her own choice. Choosing to follow the commander should be the right choice.
Xue Linglong looked at Miao Yi with a complicated look in her eyes. Which woman didn't want to marry a hero and not a coward … If it wasn't for the veil covering her face, she wouldn't have dared to reveal such an expression. It wasn't that she had any other thoughts, but she couldn't help but feel a little regretful that they had brushed shoulders before. She knew in her heart that it was impossible for her man to be so domineering in the face of adversity!
Fei Hong, whose face was also covered by a veil, looked at Dao Dao who had shouted for them to move aside. Then, she looked at Miao Yi with a complicated look in her eyes as well.
Miao Yi glanced at Zhan Ruyi with disdain and said indifferently, "Let's go!"
He led his men and flew away. He didn't even take the path that everyone else had given way to. He was purely letting Zhan Ruyi see whose words were more effective. He was slapping Zhan Ruyi's face.
He actually didn't take the path that everyone else had given way to? The shopkeepers who had given way felt their faces burning. They couldn't help but feel humiliated. This was a slap to their faces.
They had originally come to humiliate Miao Yi. In the end, they were humiliated to the point where they couldn't even show their faces. That empty path in front of them was like a loud slap to their faces.
Yang Qing, who had followed Miao Yi into the sky, secretly smiled bitterly. He realized that this was the biggest difference between him and Miao Yi. Miao Yi liked to act recklessly. If it were him, he wouldn't have said such words. The situation was against his will. He had to endure it for now. At most, he would come back to settle the score later. However, he had to admit that sometimes, Miao Yi's recklessness was better than his meticulous planning. Just like now!
There were five people with official positions: Miao Yi, Xu Tangran, Yang Qing, Yang Zhaoqing, and Yan Xiu. There were eight family members accompanying them. Fei Hong led two maidservants, Xue Linglong led two maidservants, Qing Ju, and Lin Pingping.
There were a total of 13 people, plus the 20 Heavenly Generals sent to escort them. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, they quickly left through the east gate and flew into the sky.
Fu Qing and Invincible Eagle didn't go out of the city to see them off. Miao Yi had advised them to sever ties in front of the public so that the two of them could control Sky Street in the future.
Gone … Huang Fujun who had sent them off? Y's eyes were filled with confusion.
Suddenly, Zhan Ruyi's voice rang in his ears. "How courageous! It's rare to see a subordinate like Xu Tangran in this world to be able to give up the generous conditions of Heavenly Street. It's a pity that he's dead set on following that dog Niu Youde! "
'Huang Fujun?' Y turned to look at Zhan Ruyi, who had a sorrowful expression on her face. He was speechless. This sister seemed to admire Xu Tangran more than usual. 'Huang Fujun?' Y really wanted to ask her how much she knew about Xu Tangran. However, Xu Tangran was the husband of another of her sisters. She couldn't say anything bad about him.
When Zhan Ruyi arrived and asked her who was going with him, she was already deeply moved. Now it was the same.
Zhan Ruyi had other plans and wasn't in the mood to stay. The two ladies left first. As soon as they left, Spring Flower and Autumn Moon Brothel's shopkeeper, Xiao Qizhen, was already at the bottom of the stairs. He cupped his fists and said, "Commander Fu, you heard what Niu Youde said just now. If he really brings people to massacre Sky Street in the future, will you stop him or not?"
"This …" Fu Qing stroked his beard and revealed a troubled expression. He deliberately made things difficult for Jiang Chen.
A group of people immediately rushed over from below. A group of people quickly moved to the front to block off the crowd. A group of shopkeepers were talking to Fu Qing on the stairs.
"Commander Fu, you're the one in charge of Sky Street now. How can you allow outsiders to do as they please?!"
"That's right! Commander, if Niu Youde really barges in and causes trouble, you'll have to bear the blame as the commanding officer here! "
"If Niu Youde really dares to be so arrogant, Commander should seal the four city gates to stop him. We can't let him wreak havoc in Sky Street."
"That's right, seal the great city sealing formation!"
The people below were all talking at once. They knew very well that if Miao Yi really led his army to massacre Sky Street in a dignified manner, the merchants in Sky Street would not be able to retaliate against the Left Governor's troops. The only ones who had the right to point at their own territory and refuse the Left Governor's troops from entering were the Celestial Court's troops stationed in Sky Street. However, this new commander just had to be the madman's former subordinate. If he cooperated and let them in, there would be no way for them to survive.
The onlookers had long heard of Niu Youde's name. Today, they finally got to witness his might. Even though he had left, the tiger's might that he had cultivated for many years was still there!
Fu Qing was both angry and amused at the same time as he looked at the shopkeepers who still had lingering fear on their faces. Their previous leader had just left, and these merchants had already recognized him as their leader. It saved him a lot of trouble. However, it wasn't because he had a lot of prestige, but because he was frightened by Old Fifth. He didn't even know what to say to these bastards who needed his help. Old Fifth had actually given him a swift and decisive answer before he left, and had done him a great favor.
But then again, based on what he had done in Sky Street, Fu Qing couldn't be sure if what he said before was just to scare people or if he was serious. Logically speaking, he shouldn't have made things difficult for him, right?
"Second Brother, Old Fifth's scare has helped you straighten things out. You've saved yourself a lot of trouble. Old Fifth is like a sword hanging over their heads. I don't even know what will happen on my side." Invincible Eagle transmitted his voice to Fu Qing, sounding a little envious.
Fu Qing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but on the surface, he calmed the excited shopkeepers down below and said loudly, "Everyone, don't panic. Since I'm in charge of this place, I definitely won't let anything happen here. I don't want to see this place in trouble as soon as I take over. I will definitely communicate with Commander Niu to resolve this. Everyone, please return first and choose a few representatives from the Chamber of Commerce. Once I have officially appointed them, we will discuss the rules of Sky Street in the City Guard Palace!"
He was still the acting representative right now, and Invincible Eagle's appointment hadn't been officially announced yet. The candidates for the assessment hadn't been officially announced yet, and everything was still being adjusted.
The people from the small and medium-sized shops didn't come. Otherwise, they would definitely be sad to hear this. Letting these rich and powerful shopkeepers choose representatives from the Chamber of Commerce was no different from restoring the previous system. Some businesses would definitely be monopolized again, and it would greatly harm their interests. However, even if they came, it would be useless. Fu Qing would still announce it. He couldn't act recklessly like Miao Yi, and he didn't have the ability to resist.
Such a compromise was a clear indication of his attitude. Before the official appointment was made, he didn't want to offend so many influential people. Instead, he wanted to close the distance between himself and everyone, letting them know that he wouldn't harm their interests. This was to prevent the higher-ups from causing trouble and causing his appointment to change.
He stated that he would ensure everyone's safety, and also wanted to let these people understand that if someone else was in his position, they might not be able to stop Miao Yi from acting recklessly.
In short, he wanted to ensure that the people on his side would be able to smoothly ascend to the position, and completely seize control of Sky Street.
The group of shopkeepers exchanged glances. They hadn't even started discussing this matter, and they didn't expect Fu Qing to take the initiative to remove the shackles on them. They immediately cupped their fists and said, "Great Commander is wise!"
