"Commander." Fu Qing cupped his hands.
"Great Commander Fu." Miao Yi returned the greeting.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the two former superiors and subordinates, who had not been separated for too long, happily greeted each other.
Many merchants in the city wanted to see what was happening outside, but they were blocked by the high city walls. The city gates were also temporarily sealed.
Outside the city, Miao Yi's former subordinates, the Sea of Constellations Demonic Beasts also came over to greet him. Xu Tangran, Yang Qing, and the others also came over to greet Fu Qing.
After exchanging some pleasantries, Fu Qing walked over to Miao Yi's side and transmitted his voice over, "Ol 'Fifth, you didn't bring so many people with you. Are you really planning to massacre the entire Celestial Avenue?"
Now that the two of them were equal in rank, the way they addressed each other had unknowingly returned to how they used to address each other.
Miao Yi replied, "Indeed, I'm here to settle the score with those people. However, I won't cause trouble for you."
Fu Qing was confused. He didn't know what he meant. If he didn't want to destroy the place, then what was he going to do? He reminded, "The people you want to settle accounts with have already run away."
"The monk can run, but the temple can't." Miao Yi sneered.
Fu Qing looked at him and sighed. He couldn't do anything about it. He turned back to look at the tens of thousands of people behind him. "You brought so many people. Are you planning to book all the inns on Sky Street?"
Miao Yi said, "There's no need for an inn. Let's set up camp outside."
Fu Qing: "How long do you plan to stay here? I'll have someone clean up a courtyard for you in the City Guard Palace. "
Miao Yi replied, "I won't be going to the City Guard Palace. After all, I'm a subordinate of the Left Supervisory Guard. It's not appropriate for me to get too close to the troops of other forces. I'll set up camp outside with my subordinates." As he finished speaking, he turned around and beckoned for Xu Tangran to come over, ordering him to set up camp outside the city.
As soon as the order was given, the men and horses moved in all directions. Many of them quickly rushed to the nearby forest to cut down trees.
In less than an hour, a large area of encampment had been set up. Each of the four city gates had their own plot of land. Apart from Miao Yi's troops stationed outside the eastern city gate, the remaining twenty thousand troops were stationed outside the southern, western, and northern city gates.
The felled trees were transported back one after another and piled up on the spot. Fencing, tying ropes, and setting up tents, the four city gates were bustling with activity.
Fu Qing and the others circled the city behind Miao Yi, feeling a little speechless. He realized that this was no different from surrounding the four city gates.
"Are you going to help Tianjie guard the city gate?" Fu Qing joked after returning to the east gate.
"Don't worry. I definitely won't cause you any trouble." Miao Yi reassured her.
Fu Qing sighed helplessly. "Some of my old subordinates have set up a banquet in the city to show their sincerity."
Miao Yi looked at the bustling scene. "You go back first. I'll find you later."
Fu Qing nodded and led his men back. Murong Xinghua did not leave and volunteered to stay at the scene to accompany them.
After Fu Qing and the others entered the city, Miao Yi walked towards a small hill with his hands behind his back and said, "I heard you're leaving Sky Street?"
Murong Xing Hua slowly walked to his side and looked at the grand city in front of him. His eyes revealed a perplexed expression and he sighed, "Ever since I stepped into the cultivation world, I've spent most of my life here. Now that I'm leaving, I'm a little reluctant. "
Miao Yi nodded slightly. He felt the same way as well. Up until now, he was the one who had stayed in this Celestial Street the longest. He asked, "Where do you plan to go?"
Murong Xinghua: "If I knew this would happen, I would have left with you. But Cao Wanxiang didn't agree at the time. Now, he feels that it's inappropriate for me to continue staying here. Lady Biyue and Lord Tianyuan's relationship is too tense. Right now, I can only return to Cao Wanxiang's side. When Lady Biyue and Lord Tianyuan get better, maybe I can return to Dong Hua Manor."
Miao Yi tilted his head. "I can at least say a few words to Bi Yue. If I can't do it here, do you want me to find a place for you in another Heavenly Street?"
Murong Xing Hua raised her hand and tucked her hair behind her ear. She shook her head lightly: "Forget it. You should go to Cao Wanxiang's side. If you are separated for too long, you might become the second Lady Peach Blossom. Lady Bi Yue and Lord of Heaven's Origin are probably like this because they were separated for too long. "
Miao Yi didn't force the issue. He smiled and didn't say anything.
Tens of thousands of people moved together. In less than two hours, the camp made up of tents had been set up.
Inside the central tent, the door curtains were pulled up high. It was spacious and tidy, divided into an inner and outer tent.
After circling around the inner tent twice, Miao Yi and a few others followed Murong Xing Hua into the city to attend a banquet. As soon as he entered the city, he 'coincidentally' saw Yun Zhiqiu and Ji Meili in a shop on the side of the street. However, it wasn't convenient for him to recognize them.
Tonight, there was a banquet in the City Guard Palace. His old subordinates from Heavenly Street would be accompanying them, and it was inevitable that they would sing and dance to liven things up.
When he returned to the central tent outside the city, Miao Yi couldn't wait to enter the rear tent. He had already hinted to Yang Qing to send Yun Zhiqiu over.
Unexpectedly, when he opened the curtain to the rear tent, he couldn't help but be stunned. He saw a tall and beautiful woman kneeling inside, brewing tea. Her movements were quiet and elegant. It was none other than Ji Meili.
Miao Yi paused for a moment, then walked over to the table and sat on the floor. The two of them looked at each other silently. Ji Meili lowered her head and continued brewing her tea.
When the tea was ready, Ji Meili poured a cup and pushed it towards him. She said, "I will be leaving tomorrow. Madam sent me over to ask if you have anything else to tell me."
Miao Yi brought the tea to his lips and said, "Keep in touch. Take care of yourself. I will visit you when I have time."
"Mn!" Ji Meili nodded. She slowly brought the tea to her lips and gently blew on it.
The two of them chatted on and off. Miao Yi didn't know what to say to her. In fact, he knew that she was still brooding over the fact that he had killed her little sister. This was the biggest barrier between the two of them.
When the pot of tea was finished, Ji Meili put away the tea set and took out the Paradise, placing it at the side. She activated the mystic art and entered. Miao Yi followed behind her.
There was warm water inside. Beside the bathtub, Ji Meili helped him undress. She then took off her own clothes as well, exposing her naked body to the air. She was already used to this kind of embarrassment. Naked, she followed him into the bathtub and helped him wash up. After a few moments, Miao Yi pulled her into his embrace …
The troops of the Black Tiger Banner didn't stay outside the city. They took turns to enter the city to have fun, buy things, and so on. Those brothels were their favorite places. If their rank wasn't high enough, they wouldn't be able to follow them.
Xu Tangran was very impressive. Behind him were a dozen or so Purple Armored Generals, and behind them were a hundred Golden Armored Heavenly Generals.
"Commander Xu!"
"Greetings, Commander Xu!"
As he passed through the Western District, there were many familiar faces. Many shopkeepers came out to greet him. Seeing so many Purple Armored Generals following behind him, many of them secretly sighed. This bootlicker was getting more and more famous.
Xu Tangran smiled and nodded along the way. What was shocking was that whenever he saw a shop that was closed for special reasons, Xu Tangran would raise his finger and point at it. Someone behind him would immediately note down the shop's location and signboard. And the shops that were closed were the shops of the nobles who were afraid of Miao Yi's wrath.
In the eyes of the bystanders, it was obvious that Miao Yi's subordinates weren't familiar with the situation in Sky Street yet, and were scouting for a place to make a move.
Even though the people in the shops weren't around, they had been paying attention to the situation in Sky Street. When they heard the news, they were truly shocked. They wouldn't believe anyone who said that Niu Youde wasn't here to seek revenge. They were glad that they had run away early.
At first, the entire Sky Street was secretly discussing how Niu Youde had come empty-handed. Some of the small merchants even felt it was a pity that those people had escaped. Some even suspected that Miao Yi was the one who spread the rumor of a bloodbath. His goal was to scare those people away and give himself a way out.
However, after half a month, the troops of the Black Tiger Banner stationed outside the four city gates still hadn't left. The Black Tiger Banner even sent people to take turns coming to Sky Street to have fun. Everyone was here to relax. It was as if they were protecting Sky Street. As a result, some of the merchants in the city began to secretly laugh. They realized that the joke had really gone too far.
"They've been waiting outside the city for half a month and still haven't left?"
Starry Hall. Hearing the report, Qing Zhu was stunned for a moment. He then shook his head and laughed, "He's showing that he won't stop until he achieves his goal."
Below, Sima Wentian smiled bitterly, "He hasn't done anything to Sky Street at all. No one can say anything about him, and the Chancellors can't do anything to him either. As long as he stays there, the shops won't dare to open for business. If this goes on, I'm afraid the shops will suffer heavy losses. I don't think they'll be able to hold on much longer."
Qing Zhu chuckled, "He really is a vengeful person. That monkey brat's move is a little cruel."
Sima Wentian sighed, "We lured him out of Sky Street, and then he came back and surrounded Sky Street. What the hell is this? Pojun might very well be watching the show."
Qing Zhu said, "This won't last long. The people behind the shops are probably going to make their move soon. I hope Pojun knows what's important and doesn't blow things up."
In front of a waterfall on a cliff, Miao Yi stood with his hands behind his back as he watched the figure fly off into the distance. He sighed softly. Yun Zhiqiu had left!
The two of them had been lovey-dovey for three days. In the end, they had to part ways. Yun Zhiqiu left with the people from Cloud Beauty Restaurant.
After a long silence, Miao Yi finally returned to the headquarters tent outside the eastern city gates. Not long after he sat down, someone announced from outside, "Sky Street Grand Commander Fu Qing requests an audience."
Miao Yi raised his hand, inviting him in.
A moment later, Fu Qing strode in. The moment he saw Miao Yi, he asked, "Ol 'Five, why did Sister-in-law and the others sell off their shops?"
Miao Yi replied calmly, "They're all gone."
Fu Qing was surprised, "Where?"
Miao Yi waved his hand and shook his head. He sighed softly, as if unwilling to say more.
Just then, someone came in to report, "Manager Yan of Sky Street's Seven Emotions Shop requests an audience."
Miao Yi said, "Let him in. Call Xu Tangran and Yang Qing over while you're at it."
Fu Qing furrowed his brows. He walked to the side and sat down, obviously curious to see what the manager wanted. The owner of this Seven Emotions Shop was none other than Star Monarch Tian Mao's Manor. Their grudge with Miao Yi ran deep. Why would he come at this time?
Xu Tangran and Yang Qing quickly arrived. After greeting each other inside the tent, they stood by Miao Yi's side.
Not long after, a middle-aged man came in. Sweeping his gaze across the tent, he cupped his fists and said, "This lowly one greets Grand Commander Niu, Grand Commander Fu, and Lords."
