It was obvious that everyone here knew what kind of situation Miao Yi was currently in. The news of him not being able to enter the door for half a day had probably already spread here. The people under the Black Tiger Banner would definitely not protect the reputation of the new Grand Commander.
"How dare you!" Xu Tangran shouted angrily, "How dare you be so impudent in front of the Great Commander!"
Ai Moqing said indifferently, "This lowly one is speaking the truth. Am I wrong?"
"Are you courting death?"
Just as Xu Tangran was about to step forward, Miao Yi raised his hand and waved it off, stopping him from overreacting. He tilted his head and glared at Ai Moqing, coldly saying, "Stinky and hard. No wonder your future is bleak if you're trapped here!"
Ai Moqing cupped his fists and said, "Great Commander is right. Why don't you just treat us as a fart and let us go? Why make life difficult for small figures like us?"
"Release?" Miao Yi scoffed, and said bluntly, "You guys are really not worth it for me to make life difficult for you. In my eyes, you are just pawns that I can use!" He then abruptly turned to look at Prynne and the others. "I'm not afraid to tell you, since I've found you, you have no choice! If I can't even protect myself, believe it or not, even if the Black Tiger Flag doesn't annihilate the Six Fingers School, someone will come and raze it to the ground! If you submit to me, I will be able to control the Black Tiger Flag, and naturally, I will be able to restrain the Black Tiger Flag from touching you. After that, I will get a good shop in the Heavenly Street for your Six Fingers School as a reward. I will definitely win! This is the only way for you to survive. What does the Six Fingers School think of it? "
As soon as he said this, Sect Leader Bai Lan and the four Elders' faces turned pale. Their faces were ashen. Who did we offend? You came and we hid obediently. We even gave up the sect's territory. Just because we had a little bit of value, we were dragged into the internal power struggle of the Black Tiger Flag. What an undeserved calamity!
East River Mountain God Sha Jinbiao, West River Mountain God Zi Wuli, Upper Nine Creeks River God Ai Moqing, and Lower Six Creeks River God Bu Lianrong. The four of them looked at each other dejectedly. Their strength and background were not even worth mentioning in front of Miao Yi, even if Miao Yi had yet to gain control of the Black Tiger Banner. He wasn't someone they could afford to offend.
They had been friends with the Six Fingers School for so many years. Risking their lives to speak up for them was already the limit of what they could do. However, as soon as Miao Yi said those words, the four of them knew that the Six Fingers School was now embroiled in the Great Maelstrom. There was no way for them to escape even if they wanted to. It was just as Miao Yi had said. Once someone of his status and power sought them out, the Six Fingers School had no other choice. Even Sect Master Bai Lan's father and grandfather only had an idle position in the Celestial Court. There was no way they could compete with someone like Miao Yi, who had once ruled over the Celestial Avenue.
In the eyes of Yang Zhaoqing and the others. The Great Commander was still very domineering.
On the other hand, Yang Qing didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He realized that Miao Yi's style was still the same as always — to cut through the Gordian knot with a swift knife. Once his goal was set, he would rush forward. Whenever he encountered a mountain, he would open a path, and whenever he encountered a river, he would build a bridge. He didn't care whether or not the path in front of him could be passed, he would just move forward and think about it later.
It was just that he didn't quite understand. He asked via voice transmission, "Sir, I can understand why you pulled the Six Fingers Gate in. Why did you pull these four River Gods and Mountain Gods in as well? "
Miao Yi replied, "We only have these few of us. We don't have enough manpower. We should try to get as many as we can. It doesn't matter if they are useful or not. As long as they aren't from the Black Tiger Banner, we'll pull them in first and tie them to our side. Even if we can get them to guard the house or patrol, that would be good too. These four bastards are stubborn. If we don't want to implicate the Six Fingers School, we can only listen obediently. "
He thought he had some brilliant plan. So this was the reason. Yang Qing was speechless …
After secretly communicating with the four Elders, Bai Lan stared at Miao Yi with a bitter expression. He cupped his fists with great difficulty and said, "The Six Fingers School is willing to obey the Great Commander's orders."
They also knew that since they were here. If they didn't agree, they wouldn't be able to leave this grand hall alive.
"A wise man submits to circumstances!" Miao Yi praised. He tilted his head and said, "Yang Qing, go invite Kang and Yao over."
"Yes!" Yang Qing had no choice but to obey Miao Yi's orders since he was being stubborn.
After Yang Qing left. Miao Yi immediately discussed with Bai Lan and the others how to deal with the situation later.
After waiting for a short while, Kang and Yao arrived, with Yang Qing following behind them.
As soon as they entered the grand hall, they saw Bai Lan and the others. Kang and Yao looked at each other, feeling a little strange. They walked to the center of the hall and cupped their fists in greeting. Kang Zhilu asked, "Great Commander, may I know what orders do you have for us?"
"Sigh!" Miao Yi sighed. He pouted his lips at Bai Lan and the others and said, "It's not that I have any orders, but the Six Fingers School came to me to complain."
"Oh?" Kang and Yao turned around in surprise. Yao Yuanchu furrowed his brows and asked, "Sect Master Bai, why are we bothering the Great Commander?"
Bai Lan was probably cursing Miao Yi's eighteen generations of ancestors in his heart, but he had no choice but to obey. He braced himself and ignored the two of them. He cupped his fists towards Miao Yi again, as though he was continuing his speech, "Great Commander, ever since the establishment of the Six Fingers School, this is the first time we have been expelled from the school. The disciples of the school have repeatedly asked when we will return. We are too ashamed to face them. I hope that the Great Commander will show mercy and allow us to return."
Miao Yi didn't say a word. He only nodded his head at Kang and Yao, indicating for them to answer.
There was no need to say anything more. Kang and Yao understood the moment they heard it. They were still wondering what the matter was, but it turned out to be this.
Kang Zhilu said indifferently, "Sect Master Bai, are you muddle-headed? Expelled? When did we expel you from the school? We are only staying here temporarily. These are things that we can't bring with us. We will naturally return them after we leave. This was also what you promised us back then. "
Bai Lan cupped his fists towards Miao Yi again, "I hope that the Great Commander will grant us our wish."
This uncaring attitude made Yao Yuanchu's expression turn sour. He shouted, "All lands under the heavens belong to the king, and all those who rule the land belong to the king. As of now, the Heavenly Court's army is only temporarily borrowing your Six Fingers School's territory to stay. You should be polite. Why are you so persistent? Are you all tired of living?!"
"Hey!" Miao Yi raised his hand, and advised kindly, "Vice Leader Yao, if you have something to say, just say it. Why are you trying to scare them? How about this? This is their territory after all. They have the right to make the decisions. Since their master is unwilling to let us stay here anymore, then let's just leave. It's not like there's no space on the riverbank outside. We're just moving a little. It's not a big deal. "
As soon as he said this, Kang and Yao immediately realized that something was wrong. Kang Zhilu said in a deep voice, "Great Commander, you are wrong. Our army has already set up camp. How can we allow a mere Six Fingers School to move around and cause trouble as they please? This Six Fingers School doesn't know what's good for them. They should be punished severely!"
Sect Master Bai Lan and the others immediately tensed up, and stared at Miao Yi's reaction.
Miao Yi didn't even bother answering, and immediately ordered, "The Six Fingers School has been commended by the Heavenly Court. This planet is also a private land bestowed to the Six Fingers School by the Heavenly Court. This is their territory. It is already unjustifiable for us to forcefully occupy their school. If we were to punish them for this, it would be inappropriate. I have always been a benevolent person. Pass down my order. The troops of the Black Tiger Banner are to immediately withdraw from the Six Fingers School. "
Kang and Yao's expressions darkened slightly. Their eyelids drooped slightly, and they didn't respond.
Miao Yi's gaze suddenly turned cold. He narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "What? Are you trying to defy a military order? "
No one would easily bear such a crime. Yao Yuanchu sighed, "Great Commander, it's not that we want to defy a military order. The troops of the ten Eagle Banner Divisions are all stationed elsewhere. The ones stationed here are all from the Middle Division. They are Milord's personal guards. We have never been able to interfere, and we can't command them. It would be better if Great Commander personally gave the order."
Miao Yi wouldn't give such an order. He clearly knew that these people were ganging up against an 'outsider' like him. If he gave the order, and if he couldn't command them, he wouldn't be able to take care of anyone. If he dared to make a move, he would immediately provoke a group of people to retaliate. Punish all the troops from the Middle Division? Miao Yi would have to have the strength to do that. If he was really forced to take back his order, then he would be asking to be humiliated. He was very clear in his heart that the two in front of him were the leaders. As long as they didn't relent and continued to suppress him, no one from the Black Tiger Banner Division would listen to him.
Miao Yi said, "It's fine if the two of you can't command them. You just have to bring my decree and persuade them with kind words. Those who are unwilling to follow my orders are fine as well. Every one of you, sign and mark the decree. I will see if there are any who are unwilling to follow my orders. If everyone wants to monopolize this place and not leave, then I can't do anything about it. Both of you, this won't be difficult, will it? "
His words were spoken with a hidden meaning. Yang Qing silently praised him. He couldn't help but admit that Miao Yi did have his own way of doing things. However, this method of caring for the head and not the tail was simply asking to be humiliated.
Kang and Yao looked at each other speechlessly. Even if they were to go against each other, there had to be a reason. If they didn't even listen to such words, then it would be too unreasonable. Then the other party would really have a reason to report them to be punished.
"Yes!" The two of them could only accept the order and leave.
Yang Qing and the others observed Miao Yi's reaction. They only saw Miao Yi standing with his hands behind his back, expressionless as he watched the two of them leave.
"Milord, once the central army leaves, I'm afraid it will damage Milord's prestige even more. It will be detrimental to your control of Black Tiger Banner in the future!" Yang Qing transmitted his voice over to remind him.
Miao Yi replied, "We can't care so much now. We'll take it one step at a time. It's better than being surrounded by a group of enemies and making us unable to eat or sleep in peace."
Outside the hall, the two of them walked side by side. Kang Zhilu sneered, "Isn't it embarrassing enough to not be able to enter the door? I'd like to see how he'll get out of this situation when everyone from top to bottom is against his decree and doesn't even sign the decree! "
Yao Yuanchu said, "Aren't you just saying this out of anger? It's not like you can't see through his intentions. He just feels that the central army is hard to control and feels unsafe by his side. He just wants to separate himself from everyone else. Don't you think it's a big joke to chase away even his own central army to maintain a distance? Don't even think about controlling the central army in the future. Our brothers in Black Tiger Banner all know this. Where is Niu Youde's prestige? He can't even get close to his own central army. How can he command the entire Black Tiger Banner in the future? He's just getting caught in his own trap. He won't be able to stay in Black Tiger Banner for long! "
Kang Zhilu was taken aback, but soon laughed heartily, "You're right. I was so angry that I almost lost my mind. Fine, we'll go along with his wishes!" His gaze darkened, "Six Fingers School doesn't know what's good for them. I'll deal with them later!"
The two of them made a detour around the central army and quickly returned to the hall. Miao Yi reported to them that the central army was willing to obey the Great Commander's decree. As long as the Great Commander gave the order, they could withdraw from the School of Six Fingers at any time.
Miao Yi smiled, "Good job. I knew the central army wouldn't let me down. Then, pass down the order to withdraw."
Kang Zhilu cupped his fists and teased, "Will the Great Commander withdraw with the central army as well?"
"We wouldn't dare!" Six Fingers School's Sect Master Bai Lan hurriedly added, "Our disciples only wish to return to the sect. We wouldn't dare to let the Great Commander sleep in the wilderness. As long as the Great Commander and the two Vice Commanders don't mind, the three of you can still use the best house in our sect."
