"Milord, this general has failed in his duty."
The Six Fingers School was a temporary lodging place for the Chief Mayor. In a study room, Bo Yue presented the details of the Black Tiger Flag that he had collected with both hands to express his self-reproach.
Sitting behind the desk, Nie Wuxiao took the jade archive and examined it. "You can't be blamed for this. Both sides were fighting amongst themselves with ulterior motives. No one reported it to the higher-ups. It all happened too suddenly, out of everyone's expectations." After reading through the jade archive, she tossed it to the side. "This Niu Youde … really isn't someone to be trifled with."
Bo Yeu also shook his head. "Reorganizing the Black Tiger Flag in two days is indeed unexpected! Sir, I would like to ask, were you purposely making things difficult for Niu Youde by setting up the Black Tiger Flag like this? "He had been opposed to doing this earlier.
Since the matter involved the higher-ups, there were some things that Nie Wuxiao really couldn't tell him. Changing the topic, he asked, "What's the situation with the Blue Tiger Flag? Keep a close eye on them. Don't let the situation with the Black Tiger Flag happen again."
Bo Yue smiled bitterly and said, "How would I dare to be careless? I've already contacted the Blue Tiger Flag before coming over. The Blue Tiger Flag is already fighting with Zhan Ruyi and the others. It's just that their actions aren't as fierce as here."
Nie Wuxiao turned serious and asked, "What's the situation over there?"
Bo Yue said rather helplessly, "After Zhan Ruyi took office, he wanted to arrange for the people he brought to be commanders of the Ten Eagle Flags. This naturally met with opposition. Initially, Zhan Ruyi had wanted to send one person to take over the command of the central army, and the other nine to take over the nine flags of the Ten Eagle Flags. However, his subordinates strongly objected, and Zhan Ruyi could not change any one of them. Thus, he flew into a rage. His Missy's temper flared, and he wanted to use force, wanting to change the people forcefully. In the end, he almost provoked a military remonstrance. Only then did he shrink back. He also realized the predicament of being surrounded by the central army. Her men were not enough in front of the tens of thousands of men in the central army, and naturally did not dare to act rashly. Zhan Ruyi's current actions are rather conservative. He's currently investigating the Blue Tiger Flag's situation in detail. He's probably looking for an opening to strike. "
Nie Wuxiao nodded slightly. Fortunately, the two sides were not the same kind of lunatics. Heaving a sigh of relief, he leaned back on the chair and sighed. "That Zhan Ruyi came at a different time from Niu Youde. Once they get wind of this, they might be provoked. Keep an eye on the situation over there and don't interfere. "
"Do not interfere?" Bo Yue said in surprise, "Zhan Ruyi is the granddaughter of Heavenly King Ying after all. It's not a big deal if something happens to her. What will we do when the higher-ups come after us? "
Nie Wuxiao didn't feel it was appropriate to explain it to him, so he waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, there's someone taller to hold the fort. If anything happens, they won't blame you. How about this, you don't have to interfere with the matters of the Black Tiger Flag and the Blue Tiger Flag. If anything happens, just let me know and I'll take care of it myself. You just need to keep an eye on the situation on both sides and report in detail in time."
Boyue was speechless. This was tantamount to cutting off his authority to control the Two Tiger Flags. After a moment of silence, he asked, "The two Black Tiger Flag Vice Commanders have vacated their positions. May I know who Milord intends to send to fill the vacancies?"
The position of Vice Grand Commander was appointed by the higher-ups. Miao Yi only had the authority to recommend suitable candidates to his superiors. He had no authority to directly appoint them. This was also to make it easier for the higher-ups to control the troops below them. It was to prevent a situation where one person's words were the law and no one was aware of any mishaps.
Nameless Nie smiled. "Let's wait and see. If Niu Youde doesn't have a suitable candidate to report, it won't be too late to assign him then."
After confirming some matters, Nie Wuxiao dismissed Bo Yue. She took out the Star Bell and immediately contacted the higher-ups, the Big Dipper Army's Governor Yu Zhongzhen.
After learning about the situation on Miao Yi's side, Yu Zhongzhen was also shocked, 'You just said two days ago that he had just been appointed. How did he manage to take over the Black Tiger Flag so quickly? Are you sure you're not mistaken? '
Nie Wuxiao: 'I'm currently at the Black Tiger Flag. I've personally confirmed it.'
Yu Zhongzhen: 'What's the specific situation?'
Nie Wuxiao immediately reported the details of the situation that he had learned.
After listening to the report, Yu Zhongzhen was silent for a moment before replying, 'I'm about to inspect the situation at the base. I'll go there tomorrow to take a look first.'
Nie Wuxiao: 'Understood!'
She put away the Star Bell and sighed. Some things couldn't be explained clearly through the Star Bell. Governor Yu's reaction was probably the same as hers. The inspection was fake. They wouldn't believe it unless they personally confirmed it.
Outside the courtyard, Miao Yi was waiting outside with Yan Xiu and Xu Tangran. When Boyue came out, his expression wasn't too good. He called Miao Yi over and reprimanded him, then warned, "Seeing as you're new here and don't know the situation, I won't pursue the matter. But if something like this happens again and you dare to conceal it, you will be severely punished!"
Miao Yi was disdainful. A General had the power to make decisions on the spot. Only a ghost would report something like this. Did those dead people report it? On the surface, he still respectfully cupped his fists and said, "Understood!"
Boyue said with a stern face, "Currently, the two Vice Commanders' positions are vacant. I have two suitable candidates here. Since you're new here, if you don't have any suitable candidates to recommend, why don't you consider them?"
'Damn it, you already said' suitable candidates'. How can I say I'm not suitable? ' Miao Yi cursed silently. He cupped his fists in surprise and said, "May I know who has chosen them? I'm all ears!"
Boyue said, "Their cultivations aren't bad. They're both at the Colored Lotus Second Grade. They're both Second Section Generals, and they're quite capable as well. They're the two Commanders of the Earth Tiger Banner. One is called Mu Yulian, and the other is Qu Yahong."
Xu Tangran, who was standing respectfully to the side, secretly glanced at Miao Yi's expression. As expected, Miao Yi frowned and asked, "Judging from their names … are they both women?"
Boyue nodded and said, "That's right. They're both women."
Miao Yi was a little troubled. "Both Vice Commanders of the Black Tiger Banner are women. Isn't it a little …"
Boyue interrupted, "Niu Youde, this is where you're wrong. As the Black Tiger Banner's Grand Commander, you should appoint people based on merit. How can you favor men over women?"
Miao Yi nodded and said, "Vice Commander is right. Alright, I'll choose the two of them."
Boyue nodded and said, "After you've reported the candidates, I'll put in a good word for you with the Head Mayor. Coincidentally, you're also short on manpower here. If they're here, they can also bring some people with them. "
This was clearly urging him to report the candidates. Miao Yi nodded and said, "Understood!"
At this moment, another person walked out from the garden. Miao Yi and the others quickly moved to the sides. The person who came was Nie Wuxiao.
"Milord!" Miao Yi and the others bowed.
"I won't be going back for now." Nie Wuxiao said to Boyue, then turned to Miao Yi and said, "Niu Youde, Governor Luo will be coming here to inspect tomorrow. You've just taken over the Black Tiger Banner, so you must be prepared to welcome him. Don't make any mistakes."
"Understood!" Miao Yi replied.
Nie Wuxiao waved his hand and gestured for him to immediately make preparations. Just as he was about to continue instructing Boyue, Miao Yi cupped his fists and said, "Milord, I have a request."
Everyone looked at him. Nie Wuxiao asked, "What is it?"
Miao Yi said, "Both Kang and Yao of the Black Tiger Banner have been executed for their rebellion. Currently, the positions of the two Vice Commanders are still vacant. I recommend Mu Yulian and Qu Yahong of the Ground Tiger Banner to take over."
"Mu Yulian, Qu Yahong?" Nie Wuxiao was taken aback. He glanced sideways at Boyue, who was standing calmly with his hands behind his back, as if this matter had nothing to do with him. Nie Wuxiao turned his gaze to Miao Yi and asked, "You didn't recommend someone from your own Black Tiger Banner, but to the Ground Tiger Banner. Do you know them?"
Miao Yi said, "I heard that they are quite capable. I want two capable assistants."
'Capable assistants?' Nie Wuxiao didn't have to guess to know that Bo Yue was pressuring Miao Yi. Nie Wuxiao didn't know if the two women could become Miao Yi's right-hand men, but he had heard rumors that Bo Yue had an affair with the two women. Relying on Bo Yue's backing, Miao Yi was a little presumptuous, causing the Earth Tiger Banner's Grand Commander to complain. Last time, he had already tested Bo Yue's intentions and was prepared to get rid of the two women. He didn't expect Bo Yue to target Niu Youde.
Nie Wuxiao asked, "Are you sure you want them?"
Miao Yi replied, "Yes!"
Nie Wuxiao was secretly amused. Miao Yi didn't even know who they were and yet he dared to ask for them. He really didn't find it troublesome. He had helped the Ground Tiger Banner's Grand Commander solve his problem, so that he wouldn't have to complain to him all the time. Unfortunately, Boyue was the assistant recommended to him by his superiors. He didn't want to embarrass Boyue too much and incur the displeasure of his superiors. Now, Niu Youde was no saint. He wanted to see how Boyue would deal with the matter between Niu Youde and the two women in the end.
"Approved!" Nie Wuxiao agreed immediately. He said to Boyue, "You will handle this matter." After saying so, he left with his hands behind his back.
"Yes!" Boyue cupped his fists and watched him leave. After a while, a smile appeared on his face. He turned around and patted Miao Yi's shoulder with a look of admiration on his face. He didn't expect Miao Yi to be so straightforward. He had just mentioned the matter and Miao Yi had immediately recommended him to handle it. Miao Yi had solved the problem that had been troubling him recently without any hesitation. He said in a cheerful tone, "In the future, if Black Tiger Banner encounters any difficulties, you can contact me immediately. You are the Black Tiger Banner's Grand Commander after all. I will naturally be on your side. Alright, the Governor will be coming tomorrow. You should hurry up and prepare. If there is anything you need to coordinate with the higher-ups, you can let me know. "After saying so, he quickly walked inside. Nie Wuxiao probably had something to say to him.
Since there was nothing else, Miao Yi also left with his men. As he descended the mountain, he instructed Xu Tangran, "Go and find out what's going on with Mu Yulian and Qu Yahong."
"Yes!" Xu Tangran accepted the order. Even if Miao Yi didn't say anything, he would still find out about the sudden appearance of two Vice Grand Commanders.
In this world, some things were considered open secrets, especially the rumors between men and women. They were the easiest to spread. Xu Tangran didn't need to spend much effort. He asked a random person in the central army and then asked a few more people. Soon, he had a clear understanding of the situation of the two incoming vice commanders.
After receiving the report, Miao Yi was speechless. Before this, he had only guessed that the person who could trouble Boyue must be Boyue's trusted aide. He didn't think that the person was involved with Boyue. Moreover, the person was quite arrogant and domineering in the Ground Tiger Banner, giving the Earth Tiger Banner Commander a headache.
