However, there was one thing that Miao Yi was confused about. Nie Wuxiao had already reached such a position in the Big Dipper Army. Without making any major contributions, it was impossible for him to become the Vice Domain Chief of the Big Dipper Army. The Vice Domain Chief of the Big Dipper Army was a Lotus Transformation Realm cultivator. Nie Wuxiao still had a long way to go, and it wasn't something that could be made up for with a little contribution. Hence, he couldn't help but investigate.
Nie Wuxiao was silent for a while, as if he didn't know whether he should say it or not. However, in the end, he relented. "I don't know where exactly, but from what Lord Domain Chief said, there seems to be some changes in the local forces. A number of positions are about to face a relatively large scale adjustment. The Left and Right Overseers will have to transfer quite a number of personnel to take up the post. They are already preparing for it. I am also one of them.
He didn't want to say this at first, but considering the complicated situation of the local forces. Yu Zhongzhen had revealed this beforehand, telling him to be mentally prepared. He said that the local forces wouldn't leave obediently, and that a fight was inevitable. It wasn't appropriate for the Left Overseer to directly intervene with the local forces and provide assistance, but he could send people over to support them. And the people that Nie Wuxiao needed were naturally his old subordinates. He was more familiar with them, so he could use them without worry. However, he couldn't just replace all the people in the local forces without a reason. He couldn't bring too many people with him at first, and if he were to bring people over later, it would affect whether Miao Yi would let them go or not. Hence, he thought it was better to build a good relationship with Miao Yi first, so he wouldn't end up being strangled by Miao Yi later.
Because of this, he was speaking on an equal footing, no longer acting like a superior to Miao Yi in the past.
"Oh!" Miao Yi nodded. He roughly understood that it was probably related to the phantom market. He didn't know how many influential people in the Heavenly Court were involved in the plan to catch everyone in one fell swoop. Logically speaking, it was unlikely that the people at the level of a headquarters would make arrangements in the phantom market, and they didn't have the strength to participate in the competition for the Transcendence Bow. Naturally, no one would fall into the trap set by the Heavenly Court. Most likely, the higher levels would face a purge. The newly appointed would naturally use their own people, which meant that the lower levels would also face a series of purges. Nie Wuxiao would probably benefit from this.
However, with Nie Wuxiao's strength and cultivation, it was a little condescending for him to be transferred to a place to be the head commander. However, the Heavenly Court probably had to transfer a group of such people to be condescending in order to stabilize the situation. From another perspective. This was equivalent to Nie Wuxiao getting a mission with rich rewards. If he did well, it should be very easy for him to be promoted to a commander of a local force. After all, he had all the qualifications in all aspects, and he only needed to be promoted. The competition in the Imperial Guards was too great.
Once one crossed this hurdle and became a Domain Chief, he would be a feudal lord of a region, ruling over the entire starry sky. Just like Murong Xinghua's husband, Cao Wanxiang, he would be able to control a vast starry sky with countless people under his control. He would have his own mansion with fine wine and beautiful women at his fingertips, as long as he wasn't afraid of a fire raging in his backyard. He could have as many beautiful concubines as he wanted. It wasn't like being in the Royal Guards. For example, Miao Yi's concubine, Fei Hong, spent most of her time cooped up in her tent and couldn't run around. Otherwise, it would be a bad influence on her. The life of the Royal Guards was more like that of a monk.
But then again, a powerful dragon couldn't suppress a local snake. The premise was that Nie Wuxiao had to be able to stand his ground in the local area. If the Marquis above him purged a bunch of Domain Chief positions, and Nie Wuxiao couldn't even handle a small area under the jurisdiction of the Main Town, how could he climb up?
After thinking it through, Miao Yi immediately cupped his hands and chuckled, "It seems that Milord is about to become a feudal lord of a region. You're going to have a happy life with fine wine and beautiful women. "
Nie Wuxiao gave a rare smile and said, "You and I are of the same rank now. Don't call me 'Milord' anymore. Let's call each other brothers from now on. Brother Niu has already taken over the Black Dragon Division. I'm afraid I'll need Brother Niu's help in some areas in the future. "
Miao Yi's eyes flashed. He had become 'Brother Niu' so quickly. He wasn't pedantic at all. It seemed that he did have the potential to climb up to the position of Domain Chief.
He immediately patted his chest and said, "If there's anything I can help with, Brother Nie, please let me know."
This was exactly what Nie Wuxiao wanted him to say. Otherwise, he wouldn't be waiting here for him. He muttered, "Brother Niu used to wrestle in the Heaven's Street. You should know about the local wrangling even without me telling you. I'm transferred there alone, and it's hard for me to hold the fort alone. I'm afraid I'll have to take some of Brother Niu's old subordinates with me later."
Miao Yi said matter-of-factly, "Of course there's no problem. It's reasonable to take some people with you."
Nie Wuxiao shook his head and said, "It's not just taking some subordinates with me. According to the rules, the ten people I can take with me are not enough. The old power over there has deep roots. It's possible that they'll face the pressure of a counterattack from above and below. So what I'm saying is, once I've settled down, once I open up the situation, I'll have to quickly take control of the situation. At that time, I'm afraid I'll have to ask for a large batch of people from Brother Niu." He raised a finger and said, "Give me another thousand people!"
'A thousand people?' Miao Yi was a little troubled. He could understand Nie Wuxiao's thoughts. He was thinking of replacing all the backbone of the local power with his own people so that it would be easier to control the situation. But wasn't this asking for too much? This was the Celestial Emperor's personal guard army, not his private army. How was he going to explain to the higher-ups if he were to release a thousand of Celestial Emperor's personal guard army at once?
He said hesitantly, "Brother Nie, it's not that I'm unwilling to give them to you, but you know the nature of the Celestial Emperor's personal guard army better than I do. If you want to release a thousand people at once, I won't be able to bear the responsibility."
Nie Wuxiao clapped his hands and said, "Brother Nie, you're worrying too much. It's also the Lord Lieutenant's intention for me to wait for Brother Niu here. There are some things that the Lord Lieutenant hopes that I can settle with you first, lest I mess up the important matters of the higher-ups when the time comes. As long as Brother Niu doesn't hold me back, the higher-ups will definitely approve of it! "
He was really afraid that Miao Yi would mess with him at a critical moment. With the pressure from the higher-ups, he wasn't afraid that Miao Yi wouldn't let them go. But if Miao Yi deliberately found fault with him, it wouldn't be a problem at all. There were some things that Yu Zhongzhen had already explained very clearly. The Celestial Court's nobles wouldn't hand over their authority so easily. They could immediately retaliate by exploiting a small flaw. What if Nie Wuxiao needed his own people to replace them at a critical moment, and Miao Yi deliberately delayed him?
Miao Yi suddenly understood. He was indeed worrying too much. This was Lord Qing trying to seize power. The Celestial Emperor's personal guard army would definitely agree to let them go. He immediately nodded and said, "Brother Nie, don't worry. As long as there are no problems with the higher-ups, and the people of the Black Dragon Division are willing to go with you, I won't have a problem with as many people as you want. I will definitely give you my full support."
"Good! It's a deal! " Nie Wuxiao was relieved. At the same time, he returned the favor and said, "I won't take the ten core members with me right now. Let them do their best to help Brother Niu smoothly take over the Black Dragon Division. I'll take them with me when the positions in the local government are confirmed."
Miao Yi was overjoyed when he heard this. He was inexperienced, and his cultivation wasn't strong enough. He was worried about whether he could smoothly take over the Black Dragon Division. Now that he had the full support of Nie Wuxiao's old subordinates, he didn't have to worry anymore. He cupped his fists and said, "Then I'll thank you in advance."
Nie Wuxiao was also in a good mood. He patted Miao Yi's shoulder and said, "Let's go! The Domain Chief knows you're coming. He's waiting for you inside. "
The two of them then left together. In the inner courtyard, they saw the Governor of the Big Dipper Army, Yu Zhongzhen, who was leisurely admiring the flowers.
Seeing that the two of them were in good spirits and had joyful expressions on their faces, Yu Zhongzhen smiled. He knew that the two of them had come to an agreement.
This was what he hoped to see. This time, it was different from the time when Miao Yi first came to the Black Dragon Division. This time, the higher-ups didn't want Miao Yi to be troubled by trivial matters. They wanted Miao Yi to smoothly take over the Black Dragon Division. At the same time, they also wanted to make arrangements for Nie Wuxiao's reinforcements when she went to the local government. This was more important than Miao Yi taking over the Black Dragon Division.
Yu Zhongzhen had to implement the higher-ups' intentions. He didn't want the two of them to drag each other down, so he personally came here.
After a casual chat, Miao Yi went straight to the point. "The Domain Chief mentioned that there's a new mission for the Black Dragon Division. May I know what it is?"
Yu Zhongzhen said playfully, "This mission is a great one!"
Forget about Miao Yi, even Nie Wuxiao was curious. "Once I leave, I immediately get a great one. I wonder what kind of great one it is?"
Yu Zhongzhen placed his hands behind his back and chuckled, "A few thousand years ago, there was a tribute garden on the Non-Phase Planet not too far from here. After it was plundered by the Hou Clan, the Celestial Court changed the other tributary gardens and imperial gardens to be guarded by the Imperial Guards who don't have any missions at the moment. In other words, the Imperial Guards have taken over. This time, the higher-ups just happened to pick the Black Dragon Division to guard the place."
Miao Yi was speechless. Of course he knew what the tributary gardens and imperial gardens were. He was the one who plundered the tributary garden on the Non-Phase Planet, so how could he not know? The tributary garden was a garden where immortal fruits were planted. As for the imperial garden, it was the Celestial Emperor's private garden.
Thinking about it, he couldn't help but smile wryly. "Milord, how is it a great one to guard the gardens? As far as I know, the tributary gardens are scattered across over a thousand locations. Aren't you trying to break up the Black Dragon Division's forces? "
Yu Zhongzhen said, "A tributary garden doesn't need that many people to guard it. It's protected by a formation, and each location is guarded by a hundred-man captain. A thousand tributary gardens will only require a hundred thousand men. The real important location is the imperial garden. That's where the Celestial Emperor would play and farm. You might even have the chance to see him there. There are all kinds of exotic beasts being reared there, and all kinds of immortal fruits being planted there. There are all kinds of beautiful sceneries. Being stationed there will at least be an eye-opener for you. There are also many beautiful immortals in the imperial garden. His Majesty has always been kind to his brothers in the imperial guards. It's very easy for those who are dedicated to their duties to take away a beautiful immortal. As the Commander of the imperial garden, you'll be in a better position to enjoy the moonlight first. All the ministers in the imperial court have received His Majesty's favor and have their own gardens there. You'll often have the chance to see the ministers there. When they're happy, they'll casually reward you. That's much better than you risking your life for it. It's up to you to decide if you're smart or not. Oh right, there's also a peach garden with a radius of three thousand miles. They're all immortal peaches. I heard you're very interested in immortal peaches. You're willing to spend five billion Red Crystals just for a hundred immortal peaches? "
'Is it that good?' Nie Wuxiao was almost drooling as he listened. When he heard this, he couldn't help but look at Miao Yi in surprise. 'Could this guy be the one who spent five billion Red Crystals to buy immortal peaches at the legendary Phantom City auction?'
"…" Miao Yi was speechless.
