Kang and Yao glanced at each other from the corner of their eyes. The meaning behind Prynne's words was within their expectations. Great Commander Niu had taken such a huge detour in order to separate from the main army. It would be strange if he retreated together with the main army. Pretending to be a good person for the sake of the Six Fingers School and being charitable was nonsense. Only a ghost would believe that. His next step was probably to go with the flow.
Miao Yi pondered for a moment, then said, "Since Sect Master Bai is doing this out of goodwill, then Vice Commanders, I will say the same thing again. Why don't we follow the rules of the host?"
Sure enough, Kang and Yao both smiled and almost laughed out loud. Yao Yuanchu smiled and said, "I'll follow Commander's orders."
The two of them were also pushing the boat along with the current. They wanted everyone to see what kind of person the commander, who kept his distance from them, was. He did not look like someone from the Black Tiger Flag at all.
Miao Yi didn't stand on ceremony either. "Then the two of you, please send a message. Order the middle troops to withdraw from the School of Six Fingers immediately. The middle troops will be stationed along the river downstream." He then turned to Bai Lan and said, "Sect Master Bai, inform the disciples of the School of Six Fingers to return."
"Yes!" Both sides acknowledged the order.
Kang and Yao smiled as they left to carry out his instructions. However, Bai Lan and the others were not released. Before he achieved his objective, Miao Yi would not let them go. He had Bai Lan use the Star Bell on the spot to summon back the disciples of the School of Six Fingers who were stationed along the banks of the river.
Yang Qing couldn't help but ask, "Sir, are you thinking of making a move on Kang and Yao?"
Miao Yi narrowed his eyes. Seeing the anxious look on his face, he advised, "You're thinking too much."
"..." Yang Qing was speechless. If Miao Yi didn't want to admit it, he couldn't force him to say that it was definitely the case. However, his eyes were filled with worry. He knew that once Miao Yi had made up his mind, he wouldn't be able to change his mind.
And how could Miao Yi not know about him?? Gather? Excuse me, you don't want to serve the salt. How dare you make a fool out of me? The Prince of Cistanche Spear Temple
Soon, the first military order issued by the new commander of the Black Tiger Flag began to be carried out. The central army surrounded the Black Tiger Flag and did not hold the eagle flag. Wolf flags were raised from the surrounding mountains. More than twelve thousand men from the Middle Army emerged from the mountains, divided into eleven groups of more than a thousand men. Ten groups carried the eagle flag, and one group usually guarded the black tiger flag, which was also the Great Commander's personal bodyguard, but did not carry the flag empty-handed.
The eleven troops left the Six Fingers School's territory in an orderly manner. It was a stark contrast to the disciples of the Six Fingers School who had gathered outside and were preparing to enter.
Standing at the top of the mountain, Miao Yi and the others observed the movements of the evacuation below. The mighty black tiger flag fluttering high behind them seemed a little lonely and desolate.
Ke Shouyi and Qu Yin, the two elders, were sent to the mountain gate to receive the people of their own sect. Kang and Yao, who were leading the group of people out of the mountain, gave the two elders a sidelong glance. The look in their eyes clearly showed that they wanted to settle the score. The two elders were in great pain.
Kang and Yao followed Miao Yi out of the mountain gates. The two of them weren't prepared to stay inside. It was more than enough for Miao Yi to have the 'treasured land of Feng Shui' inside. The two of them didn't want to be associated with Miao Yi, so it was more suitable for them to stay together with the brothers from the Black Tiger Banner.
Wu Feng turned around and looked at the figure at the top of the mountain. Humph, he said, "The grand Black Tiger Flag Commander is so afraid of his own soldiers and horses. This is the first time I've seen it."
Heng Guangling sneered, "A good place for an outsider to stay, but he wants to drive his own brothers into the wilderness. This is also the first time I've seen a Great Commander who favors outsiders."
Crossing his arms over his chest, Pei Laiming calmly said, "He still has the qualifications to be a Deputy General of the Black Tiger Banner. After all, a person's reputation is like a tree's shadow. With his illustrious reputation of dominating an army of a million, no one will say anything about it. It's a pity that a mere Golden Lotus cultivator came here to be a Great Commander. I wonder what the higher-ups are up to, to send such a disgusting person here."
The three of them were the three remaining Deputy Generals of the central troops who hadn't been taken away by the previous Great Commander. Walking in front of the three, Yao Yuanchu of Kang and Yao Yuanchu smiled and said, "Isn't this a good thing? It's good for the higher-ups to see what he's doing now. He's the one who did something that angered the masses. He can't blame us if anything happens. "
Over ten thousand Celestial Court troops left the mountain gates, and the ten thousand Six Fingers School troops followed suit. As they entered and exited, the troops on both sides were swapped. However, the Black Tiger Flag still fluttered in front of the Six Fingers School's grand hall. The disciples of the Six Fingers School guarded the Celestial Court's Black Tiger Flag, while the Black Tiger Flag's central troops had become the Black Tiger Flag's outer troops.
Elder Ke Shouyi and Elder Qu Yin were arranging for the disciples to return to their respective residences. However, many of the disciples came back to report that their residences were a complete mess.
"Clean it up and repair it yourself!" Elder Ke waved his hand helplessly. They were unhappy that they were chased out. Who could say anything if they smashed something?
Standing on the mountain, Miao Yi saw that the troops on both sides had been swapped. He calmly said, "Sect Master Bai."
Prynne hurried forward. "What orders does the Great Commander have?"
Miao Yi stared at the movements of the Black Tiger Flag's central troops outside. He looked straight ahead and said, "Now that I have no guards around me, how about the Six Fingers School temporarily take charge of guarding and patrolling?"
Could Prynne refuse? He smiled bitterly in his heart and cupped his fists, "Of course!"
Miao Yi said, "Yang Qing, I'll leave this matter to you and Sect Master Bai to coordinate and handle." The matter of arranging and guarding the troops naturally had to be handed over to someone with experience. In this aspect, Yang Qing, who had led troops for many years, was definitely more experienced than the Six Fingers School. In addition, Yang Qing was a meticulous person, so he would definitely take more precautions. He then added, "I'll leave the two Mountain Gods and two River Gods to you as well."
Behind him, Sha Jinbiao and the others were speechless. He didn't even ask for their opinion and immediately made the arrangements.
"Yes!" Yang Qing accepted the order, and extended his hand to ask Prynne to make the arrangements together.
Miao Yi then threw a transcendent artifact that could activate and close the great defensive array to Yang Zhaoqing. "Find the Six Fingers School and ask for a few Golden Lotus cultivators to guard the gates. The array gates are sealed, and no one is to enter or leave without permission."
"Yes!" Yang Zhaoqing accepted the order and quickly chased after Prynne, wanting to ask for the people.
After he was done, Miao Yi extended his hand. Fei Hong, who was beside him, immediately placed a teacup in his hand. She watched as the man before her slowly drank the tea. She had witnessed everything today with her own eyes, and she wondered how this person would overcome the current crisis.
She then secretly looked around for any signs of activity.
Yan Xiu was still like Miao Yi's shadow, quietly standing behind him without moving. He was a quiet person of few words, almost never uttering a word if there was nothing important. And Miao Yi indeed treated him like a shadow, rarely ordering him around.
Xu Tangran, on the other hand, had a cautious look on his face. He widened his small eyes and tried his best to be vigilant of his surroundings, as though he was guarding against all dangers. When he met Fei Hong's gaze, he quickly squeezed out a coy smile.
Hai Pingxin was pacing back and forth outside the main entrance of the hall, looking a little bored. His gaze would occasionally fall on Fei Hong, causing her to secretly be on guard.
To Fei Hong, Hai Pingxin was even more of a reason for her to be on guard than Yan Xiu. When she was guarding the City Palace, she had already realized that as soon as she stepped out of the bedchambers, she would most likely be watched by this woman called 'Little Girl'. Her innocent and harmless smile was very convincing. During her secret training, there was a rule in the secret agents' code of conduct: the more one was like this, the more one had to be careful.
She had a rough understanding of the people around Miao Yi.
Yang Zhaoqing was a very normal person, a trusted aide who ran errands, and did his work efficiently and efficiently. Yan Xiu's shadow-like bodyguard was not to be trifled with. It was written all over his face, so there was nothing to be afraid of. Hai Pingxin seemed to be a blabbermouth and innocent, but in reality, she was the one around Miao Yi that he had to be the most careful of. If she was really a 'Little Girl', how could she have become Miao Yi's personal attendant? How could Miao Yi use a blabbermouth 'Little Girl' for a position that allowed him to have access to confidential information? She was a typical hypocrite. This little girl was obviously always trying to get close to him, so he needed to be wary of her!
The sky was filled with twinkling stars. Without taking off his armor, Miao Yi stood in the cold wind, observing the movements around him.
The night here was a little cold. Fei Hong took a black cloak out of nowhere and tied it around Miao Yi's shoulders. When the wind blew, the cloak fluttered along with the Black Tiger Flag fluttering in the wind.
In the dark of the night, Yang Qing returned to report on his mission.
Knowing that he had already arranged the guards to monitor the surroundings, and after confirming that the most uncontrollable dangerous factors around him had been isolated, Miao Yi heaved a sigh of relief. He then ordered Yang Qing and Xu Tangran to work harder tonight, and ordered them to patrol throughout the night.
After the two of them received their orders, Yang Qing glanced at Fei Hong's two handmaidens who were waiting in the distance, and secretly transmitted his voice to Miao Yi.
Miao Yi nodded slightly, then flung his cloak and turned to return to his courtyard to rest.
After walking through the courtyard where the Six Fingers School's Sect Master lived, and when he entered his sleeping quarters, Miao Yi suddenly turned around and said, "Tonight, I will go to Xing 'Er and Yue' Er's to rest."
Fei Hong's footsteps froze. She stared at him blankly, and replied in a low voice, "Yes!"
No matter what her motive was for appearing by Miao Yi's side, the feeling in her heart was still indescribable.
She turned around and gestured to Xing 'Er and Yue' Er, who were following her, to bring Miao Yi to rest, and even instructed them to take good care of the Master. The two handmaidens were really submissive, their faces filled with anxiety, not knowing what would happen next.
What the two girls were worried about still happened in the end. Unable to refuse, they could only shyly comply, and the night was unbearably romantic …
The next day, as the two girls followed Miao Yi out of his bedroom, they saw Fei Hong waiting in the courtyard outside. Miao Yi, who had bloomed two buds in one night, only nodded and smiled at Fei Hong, then strode away. At the same time, he said to Yan Xiu, who was standing guard outside, "Have Yang Qing inform Deputy Commander Kang and Deputy Commander Yao to come see me."
As she watched him leave, Fei Hong saw how heartless the world of men was. These men seemed to only have the world in their eyes, and had no place for the women by their side.
