"You almost lost your life, yet you're still thinking about your official position!" Xue Linglong was both angry and amused at the same time. She reached out and pinched his thigh.
She would never have dared to do this when she was still in Heavenly Fragrance House. Now that they had been married for so many years, things were different.
Xu Tangran gritted his teeth and begged, "My dear wife, I'm already in this state. How could you still be so cruel?"
Xue Linglong smiled through her tears. She let go of him and continued to blow out wisps of nebula...
In another room, Qing Ju was also wiping away her tears. She was also treating Yang Qing, who was lying on the bed. She was also blaming Miao Yi, "How could the Grand Commander be so cruel to Milord? Even if he doesn't care about old friendships, does he not care about Miss's face? He wasn't like this before. How did he become so ruthless now? "
Yang Qing sighed as he lay there, "It's not that he doesn't care about old friendships. When a person reaches a certain point, they will unknowingly give way to the bigger picture. This is the helplessness of a superior. Take this time for example. If he didn't disregard my feelings and forcefully stop me from acting smart, the matter of pacifying Black Tiger Banner wouldn't have gone so smoothly. The consequences would have been unimaginable. I have no complaints about this whip. "
Qing Ju felt bad, "How can Milord humiliate himself and scold himself for acting smart? In terms of intelligence, the Grand Commander may not be able to compare to Milord."
Yang Qing smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I used to think so too. But after this incident, I have to admit that I'm not as good as him in some matters. If I were in charge of the Black Tiger Banner's situation, I wouldn't be able to do as well as him. Qing Ju, you understand me. You saw what happened yesterday. If it was me yesterday, would I have dealt with it as decisively as he did? Would I have been able to show his boldness? I know my personality very well. Even if I had to do it all over again, I definitely wouldn't take the same risks as him. I don't have that resolute and ruthless spirit of his. Even I am amazed by the series of methods he used to deal with situations. "
Qing Ju wiped away her tears and snorted, "I think he's just impulsive and reckless. He let the Ten Eagle Banners go just like that. So what if they've reorganized? They can bring them back as soon as they return. What if they make a comeback?
Yang Qing sighed, "The Black Tiger Flag is just a small unit under the Left Supervisory Guard. It's not like they're some independent feudal vassal state. There are still layers of restrictions above them. They had followed Kang and Yao to stir up trouble in order to protect themselves. Now that everyone's interests had been protected, and the Great Commander's goal had been achieved, how could they possibly make a comeback? The Ten Commanders had publicly written statements against Kang and Yao, which was tantamount to publicly declaring their loyalty to the Grand Commander. The Great Commander gave them another whipping in front of everyone. The ten commanders no longer had the cohesiveness to gather people to resist. In the future, they just had to mind their own business. No one would listen to them even if they wanted to resist the Great Commander. Everyone has seen the deterrence that the Grand Commander has over the Ten Eagle Flags. This is the prestige that the Grand Commander commands over the Black Tiger Flag. With the morale of the army, no one in the Black Tiger Flag can shake the Grand Commander's position. If the Ten Eagle Flag Commanders have any other thoughts, they will just be looking for trouble. As long as they gather their men, there will definitely be people who will report them in order to gain merit. "
Qing Ju asked curiously, "Why?"
Yang Qing replied, "The reason is very simple. When the Grand Commander had just arrived and had yet to gain a firm foothold, none of them were a match for him. His subordinates did not believe that they would still be a match for the Grand Commander after he gained a firm foothold. In addition, the Grand Commander has the righteousness of his position. He holds a greater power of appointment and dismissal than the Ten Eagle Flag Commanders. With the hearts of the people supporting him, it was easy for him to make a decision. Of course, the Grand Commander also wanted to get rid of them in the beginning. However, the situation changed, so the Grand Commander changed his strategy. After all, he didn't have many people on his side. Even if he killed them, they would be people he wasn't familiar with and would be given the position of the Ten Eagle Flag Commanders. That was why he changed the 'kill' to 'beat', and publicly whipped us to establish his prestige. This ability to adapt to changing circumstances is also the Grand Commander's forte. "
Qing Ju looked pensive, but it was obvious that she was still angry at Miao Yi for ordering Yang Qing's execution. She scoffed and said, "I'll see how he explains this matter to the Young Miss later."
Hearing this, Yang Qing's heart was filled with bitterness. How could a mere concubine be able to influence Miao Yi's path to where he was today? If he couldn't gain a firm foothold by Miao Yi's side, then Qin Weiwei wouldn't be a match for Miao Yi's other concubines at all. He was afraid that her fate would be miserable.
"Don't mention this matter to Weiwei. I … "Yang Qing was halfway through his warning when he couldn't help but sigh," I'm afraid we won't be able to hide it anymore. The Grand Commander's reputation is out there. What happened here will definitely spread out. Even if we don't tell Weiwei, the other branches of the Grand Commander's household will definitely take the opportunity to inform Weiwei. Once Weiwei finds out, she will definitely look for you first to confirm it. Remember, tell her not to quarrel with the Grand Commander because of this matter. The Grand Commander still feels pity for her. Hurting the relationship between her and the Grand Commander isn't a good thing, but the other branches will be happy to see it. You only need to tell Weiwei that this is a two-man act put on by Miao Yi and I. Tell her not to worry. Also, tell her to reveal this to Madam Yun Zhiqiu. Yun Zhiqiu is a woman who knows what she's doing. According to my observations in Heaven's Avenue these past few years, there is currently no one who can replace Yun Zhiqiu's position in the Grand Commander's heart. Don't be fooled by the Grand Commander's decisiveness in killing outside. The fact that Yun Zhiqiu was able to imprison Zhuge Qing for so many years while the Grand Commander didn't dare to make a sound is proof of this. Do you understand? "
Qing Ju trembled at his words. "Milord, you mean to say that the Young Miss and the other branches are going to fight for his favor?"
"Sigh!" Yang Qing continued, "Since she didn't listen to advice and chose this path, then she will have to face it. This is something that can't be avoided since ancient times. The Grand Commander hasn't reached that position yet, so things aren't that bad yet. But once the Grand Commander reaches a certain level, this will happen sooner or later. It's unavoidable, and the fight for more than just his favor is inevitable. There are some things that I can't tell her, but you have to think of a way to make Weiwei understand that one good word from Yun Zhiqiu in front of the Grand Commander is worth a hundred bad words from someone else. For now, don't think about fighting for the limelight with Yun Zhiqiu. Instead, think of a way to build a good relationship with her. For now, we also need Yun Zhiqiu to keep the other branches in check … "The last sentence sounded like he was muttering to himself.
Qing Ju understood and nodded slightly, but her face was filled with bitterness. Back then, Milord and her sister didn't approve of Weiwei marrying Miao Yi, but she did. Now, it seemed like Weiwei marrying Miao Yi wasn't a good thing at all …
It wasn't until noon that Miao Yi and Fei Hong finally walked out of the sleeping quarters.
Seeing Yan Xiu standing outside the door step aside, Fei Xiu's cheeks flushed red from the night's debauchery. She felt a little awkward, and secretly grumbled about Yan Xiu's problem. Every time she and Miao Yi were in the room doing it, Yan Xiu would stand guard outside the door. Whenever they did it, there would always be times when she couldn't control her emotions and lost her voice. How embarrassing would it be for others to hear?
Yan Xiu acted like nothing had happened, and Miao Yi didn't seem to mind.
Miao Yi asked, "Have you finished checking the statements in the main hall?" Yan Xiu replied, "I've already informed them. They're all done. The evidence is with Hai Pingxin."
Miao Yi left Fei Hong behind and strode away. Yan Xiu was about to follow when he suddenly heard Fei Hong whisper, "Yan Xiu."
Yan Xiu stopped and turned around, asking, "Is something the matter, Madam Ru?"
Fei Hong bit her lip and said, "Yan Xiu, when Milord and I rest in the future, it's not appropriate for you to stand guard outside. It's not appropriate for you to stand guard outside. "
Yan Xiu glanced at her and knew what she meant. However, this was Yun Zhiqiu's order. She had completely entrusted Miao Yi's safety to him. Yun Zhiqiu had made it clear. Even if she and Miao Yi were having sex, he still had to stand guard outside to protect Miao Yi. Yun Zhiqiu didn't care if he overheard any embarrassing noises. Especially before coming here, Yun Zhiqiu had repeatedly reminded Yan Xiu that when a person was in a state of forgetfulness, their reactions would be the slowest when danger approached.
Actually, Miao Yi wasn't used to it at first, but when he heard that it was Yun Zhiqiu's order, he didn't say anything else.
"Understood!" Yan Xiu nodded. He couldn't be bothered to say anything else, and quickly followed Miao Yi's footsteps. From now on, he would still do what he needed to do. Did he need to choose whether to listen to Fei Hong or Madam?
Fei Hong followed suit.
After receiving the items from Hai Pingxin, Miao Yi summoned the Six Fingers School's Sect Master, Bai Lan, to discuss the matter.
Soon, the Six Fingers School's disciples retreated from the defensive formation. However, this time, they didn't chase Bai Lan and the other higher-ups out. They left behind a few disciples to rebuild the grand hall on the mountaintop. Reality was cruel, but there was no helping it. It was a little crowded with two groups of people in the same place. Currently, there were still quite a number of people meditating in the wilderness in the middle of the army. It wasn't appropriate for them to dig holes and randomly build structures here and cause destruction. As the Grand Commander, Miao Yi had to find a safe place for his subordinates. After all, they wouldn't be staying here for just a day or two. Furthermore, there were too many outsiders in the army, and it was easy for secrets to be leaked. Thus, he had no choice but to put up with the Six Fingers School.
However, he didn't mistreat the Six Fingers School. In front of Bai Lan, Miao Yi contacted the Grand Commander of Heaven's Avenue on Heaven's Origin Planet, Fu Qing. He agreed to help the Six Fingers School get a shop at a low price.
This made the higher-ups of the Six Fingers School ecstatic. A shop in Heaven's Avenue wasn't something they could get even if they had the money. The key was that the supply was scarce. Everyone wanted one. Now that Miao Yi had helped the Six Fingers School get a connection, he could be considered to have fulfilled his initial promise. However, Miao Yi told them to keep it a secret. He had offended too many people, so he didn't want the Six Fingers School to get into trouble.
With Miao Yi's handwritten letter in hand, Bai Lan led a few of the Elders away in a hurry. To think that the famous Vitality Sect in Heaven's Avenue would rise so quickly just by getting a shop. After that, Bai Lan specially ordered two Elders to bring money and Miao Yi's letter to personally meet Fu Qing at Heaven's Avenue. He didn't feel at ease leaving such an important matter to his subordinates.
Meanwhile, Miao Yi officially reported what happened here to the Black Dragon Division.
When the Black Dragon Division heard the news, they were shocked because they didn't know about it.
If Miao Yi didn't settle the matter here, the subordinates wouldn't report it to the higher-ups. It was too embarrassing. Kang and Yao didn't report it even if they wanted to. The key was that after the incident, all the people who could communicate with the higher-ups were killed by Miao Yi. The Ten Eagle Banners Commanders were too ashamed to report the matter to the higher-ups. Moreover, the incident happened too quickly.
Of course, some of the subordinates of the Black Dragon Division also caught wind of the commotion. After all, some of the subordinates and the subordinates of the Black Tiger Banners were in contact. It was just that the higher-ups hadn't heard about it yet, so the subordinates thought that the higher-ups already knew about it.
Actually, Miao Yi could have just delayed it a little longer and reported it to the higher-ups.
The Black Dragon Division's Head Commander, Nie Wuxiao, called for the Deputy Head Commander, Bo Yue to ask about the situation. In the end, he didn't know anything and lost control of his subordinates. He didn't even know about such a major incident. Nie Wuxiao immediately scolded Bo Yue.
Soon, Nie Wuxiao personally rushed over. He had no choice but to rush over. The Black Tiger Banners below were the focus of the Big Dipper Legion's Yu Zhongzhen. Bo Yue, who was in charge of the Black Tiger Banners, naturally couldn't escape. He definitely had to rush over to see what was going on.
That night, the two of them personally rushed over with their subordinates and summoned Miao Yi to ask him what was going on.
Miao Yi explained the situation and pushed all the blame onto the few dead people. He then pushed a pile of confessions in front of his two superiors.
How could he finish reading over ten thousand confessions in a short time? However, it was enough for him to only read a small portion. They wouldn't just read this alone. They even personally contacted the subordinates of the Black Tiger Banners to ask about the situation. When they found out that Miao Yi had spent two days to completely settle the Black Tiger Banners, Nie Wuxiao and Bo Yue were speechless.
