Qing Zhu stared straight at him, "Are you sure it was done by the Shadow Guards?"
Gao Guan said, "I can't be sure, but it really does look like it. I can bring the witness here." What he meant was for Qing Zhu to interrogate him himself.
"I can tell you responsibly that I know the situation of the Shadow Guards very well. They haven't sent anyone out recently." Qing Zhu's words sounded like he was reiterating, as though he was warning Gao Guan not to speak nonsense.
Even Sima Wentian was secretly signaling Gao Guan with his eyes, but Gao Guan said seriously, "From the witness's testimony, the person who killed Han Mingshan didn't have a high cultivation base, only at the Colorful Lotus realm. Even if the Shadow Guards weren't sent out, could it be that there's a descendant of the Shadow Guards outside?"
Qing Zhu narrowed his eyes, "You mean, someone among the Shadow Guards leaked their cultivation method?"
Gao Guan said, "I only have my suspicions. If Your Majesty is certain that it's impossible, then I have made a mistake in my judgment. I will find another direction to investigate."
Qing Zhu was silent. Gao Guan had been with him for so many years, how could he not know Gao Guan's style? Once the suspect was so obvious, he usually wouldn't make a mistake. Otherwise, Gao Guan wouldn't have said it in front of him. There must be some truth behind it.
Thus, the loyalty of the Shadow Guards wavered. They were death warriors that he had secretly trained. Should he really investigate the Shadow Guards? Once he did, it would also affect the loyalty of the Shadow Guards. But if he didn't investigate, he wouldn't be able to eat or sleep well when he thought that something might have happened to his most loyal subordinates …
It was Murong Xinghua!
When they found out that Murong Xinghua had brought people to the Six Fingers School, Miao Yi and the others were stunned.
When they arrived at the temporary residence of the Black Tiger Banner's Grand Commander, Murong Xinghua stood in front of Miao Yi with a slight smile. Beside him, Xu Tangran couldn't help but ask, "Murong, are you here to take over this place?"
Murong Xinghua smiled, "I requested to come."
Xu Tangran asked curiously, "This seems to be out of Cao Wanxiang's territory, right? Why are you … "He immediately slapped his forehead. It was a simple question. Even though this wasn't Cao Wanxiang's territory, it was Marquis Tianyuan's. As long as there wasn't any conflict between Generals under Marquis Tianyuan, it wasn't a problem for them to give each other face.
Miao Yi smiled faintly and asked, "You were promoted?"
The person who took over this area had to be at least a Great Commander-level subordinate of the local faction. Otherwise, there might be a situation where the military strength under control was insufficient. Since Murong Xinghua was able to accept it, it was obvious that he had been promoted.
However, Murong Xing Hua shook his head and said, "No, I'm just a temporary acting commander. Once the mine here is finished, it shouldn't be a big problem if nothing happens. "
Everyone suddenly had a look of realization and roughly understood that Murong Xing Hua had just been transferred from Heaven's Street to this place. If he didn't have any experience, it wouldn't be right to directly promote him. He was just casually getting some experience and making some contributions. In the future, it would be perfectly justifiable for him to be promoted. On the other hand, there was no risk in guarding the mining site. Besides, with Cao Wanxiang's support, few people in the Marquis of Tianyuan would give her a hard time. Things would be smooth in the future. It was true that it was easier to be promoted if one had a backer.
What happened after was simple. After the officials from both sides confirmed their identities, they agreed that the troops of the local factions would go to the mining site under the control of the Ten Eagle Flags to carry out the handover. After the handover was confirmed, the troops of the Ten Eagle Flags retreated and all gathered at Planet Six Fingers.
The protective formation that enveloped the Six Fingers School was removed, and the troops of the Black Tiger Flags were about to leave as well. However, this didn't mean that the Six Fingers School could relax. On the contrary, the Six Fingers School felt like crying. There weren't any better places to stay. Murong Xing Hua wanted to use the Six Fingers School as a temporary base.
In comparison, the troops of the Black Tiger Flags were only temporarily stationed here. However, Murong Xing Hua would be stationed here for a long time. He probably wouldn't leave until the mine was finished. Unfortunately, the local tyrant was more tyrannical. Planet Six Fingers was originally under his jurisdiction, so he could do whatever he wanted. He wasn't as disciplined as the Heavenly Court's imperial guards. Fortunately, Miao Yi took into account their friendship over the years. Before he left, he greeted Murong Xing Hua and said, "Sect Master Bai has been very helpful to me all these years. I hope you can take care of him on my behalf. "
Murong Xing Hua naturally knew what was going on. He smiled at Bai Lan and said, "Don't worry, Sect Master Bai. I will keep my subordinates in check. Also, I will give them preferential treatment for the mining quota."
Sect Master Bai Lan was instantly delighted. He cupped his fists and thanked them profusely, "Thank you for your care, Great Commanders." He gave Miao Yi a grateful look.
Miao Yi left. He didn't have any reluctance to leave Planet Six Fingers. He led the Black Tiger Flags' army of a hundred thousand and flew away. The dark mass of troops shrunk and disappeared into the horizon.
Zhu Zixing. The Black Dragon Division's temporary headquarters. The troops of the Ten Tiger Flags arrived one after another.
When the troops of the Black Tiger Flags arrived, most of the troops had already arrived. The Black Dragon Division's central army had sent someone to guide them to camp.
As soon as the troops here settled down, a few people came from the other side of the mountain. The Blue Tiger Flag's Great Commander Zhan Ruyi came over with a few of his subordinates.
Seeing this woman again, Miao Yi felt a little complicated. In the end, it was Zhan Ruyi who smiled and cupped his fists in greeting, "Brother Niu, you're here."
Miao Yi had no choice but to cup his fists and say, "Beauty Zhan."
Zhan Ruyi said, "I've just arrived as well. Why don't we go meet the Lord Commander together?"
When the brothers of the Black Tiger Flag saw this scene, they had a strange expression on their faces. Miao Yi felt very uncomfortable as well, but he couldn't show weakness in front of his subordinates. He could only nod his head and bring his subordinates along with Zhan Ruyi.
When they arrived at the foot of the mountain where the temporary headquarters were stationed, the subordinates stayed behind. The two of them went up the mountain together and met Nie Wuxiao.
When they saw the two of them appear before them, Nie Wuxiao and Bo Yue had a strange expression on their faces. Miao Yi also felt that it was strange. On the other hand, Zhan Ruyi was calm and composed, as though nothing had happened. It made the three men seem a little petty.
The two of them greeted each other out of courtesy. After all, they were already here. It would be rude if they didn't greet each other. The real discussion would have to wait for the troops of the Ten Tiger Flags to arrive. After all, their camps were far apart.
After descending the mountain, the two of them returned to their respective camps.
The troops of the Ten Tiger Banners all arrived that day. It was not until the next day that Nie Wuxiao issued a summons.
Central Army Luo Yu, Sky Tiger Banner's Tang Yanju, Purple Tiger Banner's Yang Rongguang, White Tiger Banner's Fu Linchun, Golden Tiger Banner's Wu Zhaoqing, Green Tiger Banner's Wei Renfang, Earth Tiger Banner's He Zhiye, Black Tiger Banner's Niu Youde, Red Tiger Banner's Wenren Youdao, Green Tiger Banner's Yu Wanli, and Blue Tiger Banner's Zhan Ruyi. The Black Tiger Banner's Wu Zhaoqing were all present.
In the past few years, everyone had met each other and knew each other. However, Miao Yi was a little conspicuous standing here. He was the only one wearing a six-segment Minor General Armor, while the others were all wearing the same color of Minor General Armor.
After Nie Wuxiao, who was sitting at the top, routinely asked everyone about the handover situation, he swept his gaze across everyone and said, "This time, everyone has worked hard guarding the mining site. The higher-ups said that they would distribute a certain percentage of the ore to us as a reward based on the amount of ore mined. In addition, they had received a decree from above that the Black Dragon Unit's troops had no mission at the moment and were temporarily guarding Zhu Zixing. Everyone, go and settle down your men and horses. Rest and reorganize, and wait patiently for the decree from the top. "
"Ah! No mission … "
The hall, which was initially silent and listening to orders, suddenly burst into an uproar. It was as though chaos had broken out in an instant, and everyone began to talk among themselves. Nie Wuxiao, who was sitting at the top, had a dark expression on his face.
Miao Yi and Zhan Ruyi, who were also standing at the back, instinctively looked at each other. They seemed to be a little surprised by the reaction. After all, this was the first time the two of them had participated in a collective meeting of the entire Black Dragon Unit.
"Commander, I heard that the Left and Right Overseers have each transferred close to 2.5 million troops, a total of five million troops to Ding Mao Domain to carry out the mission. Our Big Dipper Army has snatched the quota of two Tiger Banner troops. How can there be no mission?" A delicate voice rang out. The Heaven Tiger Banner's Grand Commander, Tang Yanju, was the first to speak.
Nie Wuxiao said solemnly, "The mission for those two Tiger Banner troops has already been assigned to the Heaven Dragon Division and the Earth Dragon Division."
The Earth Tiger Banner's Grand Commander, He Zhi, followed up with a shout, "Why are they only assigned to the Heaven Dragon Division and the Earth Dragon Division? Did Commander do his best to fight for them?"
Nie Wuxiao replied, "Naturally, I did my best. However, the quota was too small, and every division wanted it. In the end, Commander made the decision by drawing lots. I can only blame my bad luck. How can you say that I didn't do my best? "
The Golden Tiger Banner's Grand Commander, Wu Zhaoqing, sneered, "This lot is really interesting. Why did the Heaven and Earth Divisions just happen to get it?"
Pa! Nie Wuxiao abruptly slammed the table and stood up, shouting angrily, "Wu Zhaoqing, what do you mean by this? Are you suspecting the Commander of tampering? "
Wu Zhaoqing loudly replied, "I dare not. It's just that it just so happened to land on top of the Heaven and Earth Divisions. It's hard not to be suspicious. If you want to be fair, why don't you change the quota for the two Tiger Banner troops to twenty Eagle Banner troops? This way, every division can get a share. Commander, please report this to me! "
"That's right! Changing the quota for the two Tiger Banner troops to twenty Eagle Banner troops … "The others also followed suit and started shouting. There was a hint of anger in their hearts as they clamored noisily." Commander, please report this to me! "
Among the various Grand Commanders. Other than the Middle Commander, Luo Yu, Miao Yi and Zhan Ruyi were the calmest. The two of them couldn't help but look at each other in dismay. Why did this scene look like they were besieging the Commander? They heard that Nie Wuxiao was quite reputable in the Black Dragon Division. How did it end up like this?
Nie Wuxiao was obviously put on the spot. In the end, he shouted with a dark expression, "I can report this to my superiors, but whether or not they approve it is not up to me to decide."
The group of people clamored again, "That depends on whether the Commander will do his best."
"Disperse!" Nie Wuxiao waved his hand and walked away angrily.
The group of people continued to rage in the grand hall for a while longer before slowly dispersing.
After exiting the Black Dragon Division's official residence, the group of people behaved as if nothing had happened. Their previous anger was nowhere to be seen.
Miao Yi glanced at them, then quickly stepped forward and grabbed the Earth Tiger Banner's Grand Commander, He Zhizhi. He cupped his fists and asked, "Brother He, why did you guys put the Commander on the spot just now?" Judging from everyone's reaction after they came out, it seemed like they were just causing trouble.
"Brother He!" Zhan Ruyi also came over to listen.
He Zhizhi looked at the two of them again and smiled. He knew that these two newcomers didn't understand the situation. However, he soon sighed, "There are so many people in the Left and Right Wardens. How can there always be so many missions for everyone to carry out at the same time? But we Left and Right Wardens don't have our own territory, so there isn't much profit to be made. If we want to get promoted and make a fortune, we have to rely on military merits. If there aren't any missions, how can we get any military merits? Besides, even if we can't get it, we have to shout a few times so that we can say that we tried our best when we get back. Otherwise, we won't be able to answer to our brothers when we get back! Don't worry, the Commander won't get angry over such a thing. It's the same for everyone. This is the tradition of the Left and Right Wardens. If you can get it, you'll be considered capable. If you can't, then you deserve to be humiliated by your subordinates. "
