However, this lieutenant's words sounded a little unreliable to Great Official Miao. It was useless even if he said it in a nice way. What concubine? What godmother? What taste? None of them could compare to this. In the beginning, he was brought to the Left Supervisory Guard by this fellow. Now that he was talking so much, who knew what this fellow was thinking?
Thus, Miao Yi tried asking, "Milord, can you transfer such a good assignment to another division?"
Yu Zhongzhen was stunned. His mouth was already dry, but it seemed like it was all for naught. His face darkened slightly as he said, "Can the mission assigned by the higher-ups be negotiated?"
Fine, he could only pretend that he hadn't said anything. Miao Yi couldn't refuse, so he obediently accepted the order.
The people who participated in the Ghost City's mission, regardless of whether or not they made any contributions, as long as they didn't make any mistakes, they would all be rewarded this time. As for those who died in battle, Yu Zhongzhen requested Miao Yi to find out the details of their family members and report them to the higher-ups. The Left Supervisory Guard would have a dedicated staff to take care of the financial arrangements.
Yu Zhongzhen led his men back to the Big Dipper Army. Nie Wuxiao did not follow him for the time being. There were still many practical matters that needed to be handled. It was not as if she could just leave as soon as the transfer order was given. Everything in the Black Dragon Sector had to be handed over.
This wasn't something that could be done in a short time. In addition to handing over the contract, Nie Wuxiao also needed to find some reliable former subordinates to talk to. Everything happened too suddenly. He wasn't prepared at all, let alone what would happen next.
Nie Wuxiao also directly expressed his intention to talk to his former subordinates. After all, it wasn't an internal transfer of the Left Supervisory Guard, but a transfer to a local power. Whether his former subordinates would be willing to follow him was still a problem. He had to promise them benefits and a bright future. Secondly, he had also promised Miao Yi that his old subordinates would cooperate with Miao Yi to take control of the Black Dragon Division.
Miao Yi was naturally happy to see this happen. Even though he had become the headquarters of the Black Dragon Society, before Nie Wuxiao left, he didn't plan to live in the headquarters yet. Otherwise, he would embarrass Nie Wuxiao, so he went back first.
"Greetings, Chief Mayor!"
As soon as Miao Yi walked out of the Main Garrison Manor, the guards outside suddenly saluted him. Obviously, Miao Yi already knew the news. He waved his hand a little uncomfortably.
Such explosive news had already spread throughout the entire Black Dragon Sector.
Zhan Ruyi was a little dejected as she sat alone in her tent. No matter if it was in the open or in the dark, she had always wanted to compete with Miao Yi. This time, she had actually become Miao Yi's subordinate. From now on, she would have to obey Miao Yi's orders. In the future, she might even marry him. Was she going to be trampled over by him for the rest of her life?
He had lost to Miao Yi time and time again, so this time, he held onto the greatest hope. There was a saying that the higher the hope, the greater the disappointment. The feeling in her heart was really indescribable, and her mouth was full of bitterness that she couldn't swallow. If she had known it would be like this, she wouldn't have come to the Imperial Guards!
Outside the tent, a few trusted subordinates were sighing and moaning, but they did not dare to come in and disturb him. Some things were already done and could not be changed. They all knew that the Great Commander was probably not in a good mood at this time. Humans were not plants, and it would be strange if he was in a good mood after his sworn enemy had become his superior.
Some people were sad, and some people were happy.
Xu Tangran opened the curtains, strode inside and sat down. With a flushed face, he waved his hand and said, "Bring some wine. I want to have a few good drinks today."
Xue Linglong, who had come forward to welcome him, was stunned for a moment. She quickly waved her hand and had the maidservant bring the wine, then sat beside him. Seeing him rubbing his hands back and forth excitedly, she asked curiously, "Milord, is there some good news?"
"Haha!" Xu Tangran looked up to the sky and laughed heartily. He slapped his thigh and said proudly, "There is indeed good news. And it is an extremely good news. Madam, let me tell you some good news. The Great Commander has been promoted again? "
Xue Linglong was surprised. "Promoted again so soon? Promoted to Vice Commander? "
Xu Tangran chuckled. "Who do you think Milord is? Madam, you are underestimating Milord. Vice Commander Milord does not think highly of him. I just heard the news, and the Vice Commander personally came to give Milord a reward. Commander Nie has been transferred out of the Black Dragon Division, and Milord has been promoted by two ranks, directly taking over Commander Nie's position. His rank has also jumped from Sixth Segment General to two ranks. Now he is a Second Segment Purple Armor General! Tsk tsk, Milord is Milord. It's fine if he doesn't make a move, but when he does, it's a big move. It turns out that Milord was involved in the Ghost City's matter, and made a great contribution! I heard that Milord fought alongside the Governor and even received his praise. Your future is boundless! "His face was really glowing with excitement, as if he had received a reward.
Xue Linglong's bright eyes glowed. She was really surprised. Promoted by two ranks and directly became a Commander? She glanced at her excited husband again and couldn't help but smile. Her husband was Lord Niu's trusted subordinate. Lord Niu's future was bright, and her husband would naturally benefit from it. How could she not be happy?
"Then shouldn't I congratulate Milord first?" Xue Linglong pursed her lips and teased.
Xu Tangran chuckled and said, "I wonder if those who laughed at me for being at my wits' end will still be able to laugh after the news reaches Heavenly Street?"
At this moment, someone outside the door reported, "Milord, the Great Commander has returned and is summoning you to the Central Military Tent."
Xu Tangran quickly got up, and Xue Linglong immediately stood up to help him tidy up his clothes.
When he returned to the Central Military Tent, he immediately changed into the Second Segment Purple Armor General. The higher-ups of Black Tiger Banner were all present, and they had already changed the way they addressed him. "Greetings, Lord Commander."
Everyone who came to greet him wore happy expressions, feeling honored. At the same time, they each had their own thoughts. The Great Commander's promotion meant that there would be a series of changes below him, but they didn't know who would benefit from it. Qu Yahong and Mu Yulian were even more excited. They hadn't been at Black Tiger Banner for long, and they didn't expect to get their chance so soon. Logically speaking, the two of them were the most likely to take over the position of Black Tiger Banner's Great Commander, but they didn't know who it would be. As for the Great Commander's promotion to Commander, the decision was in the hands of the Lord Commander.
There were some things that one had to catch up to. If they missed a single step, they might end up missing out on everything. Neither of them wanted to miss out on this opportunity. Their gazes towards Miao Yi were a little heated. At this moment, even if the two of them were to offer their bodies to him, it wouldn't be a problem.
The reason Miao Yi gathered everyone to meet was to officially announce that he had been promoted to Main Town. Secondly, he made arrangements for the rewards for those who would accompany him to the phantom market to carry out the mission. He also made arrangements for Yu Zhongzhen to investigate the family members of those who had died in battle.
As for the changes in personnel, he didn't mention a word about it. Before Nie Wuxiao left, he wasn't going to make any arrangements for this.
Even though he had made some small arrangements, Qu Yahong and Mu Yulian were eager to express their loyalty, saying that they would make the necessary arrangements as soon as possible.
Miao Yi's gaze swept across the two of them, and he had a rough idea of what was going on. His trusted subordinates, like Xu Tangran, probably wouldn't have the chance to be promoted this time. It wasn't like when he had forcefully promoted them when he first arrived. Right now, they hadn't made any contributions, and their qualifications and cultivation weren't good enough. If he forcefully promoted them, it would cause dissatisfaction among his subordinates. Yan Xiu and Yang Zhaoqing were accompanying him on the mission this time, so he could arrange for them to be promoted based on their contributions.
Half a month later, Nie Wuxiao and Miao Yi had completed their handover. She only brought two subordinates with her, and Miao Yi sent a team of troops to escort them.
After officially taking office, with the full support of Nie Wuxiao's original subordinates, Miao Yi's series of personnel arrangements went smoothly. A little noise from below was nothing.
Blue Tiger Banner's Great Commander, Zhan Ruyi, was directly transferred to the Black Dragon Division as the Great Commander of the Central Army, swapping places with the original Great Commander of the Central Army. It looked like an equal transfer, and it looked like Zhan Ruyi was only given the position of Miao Yi's trusted subordinate. In reality, only Zhan Ruyi knew that Miao Yi was still worried about her, and had already taken away her military authority. He didn't want Blue Tiger Banner's military authority to remain in her hands. When she was transferred to the Central Army, no one listened to her. The two Vice Great Commanders of the Central Army would directly report to Miao Yi if there was anything, skipping over her.
Yan Xiu and Yang Zhaoqing were promoted to the Black Dragon Division's Central Army Commanders. In reality, Yan Xiu didn't care about any practical matters, and only held the power to mobilize the troops. The specific matters were handled by Deputy General Yang Qing. Xu Tangran also became the Great Commander of the Central Army. It was an equal transfer, and it wasn't convenient to promote him since he hadn't made any contributions. However, Xu Tangran was calm, as he understood Miao Yi's difficulties. Moreover, Miao Yi had already promised to create opportunities for him to make contributions in the future.
Hai Pingxin became Yang Zhaoqing's assistant, but in reality, Miao Yi was the one who asked Yang Zhaoqing to watch over her.
Qu Yahong became the Black Tiger Banner's Great Commander, and Mu Yulian was temporarily transferred to the Central Army. Miao Yi had also promised that the Blue Tiger Banner's Great Commander would leave sooner or later, and that position would eventually belong to her. Regarding this, even though the two women had sought out Bo Yue beforehand, and Miao Yi had also asked for Bo Yue's opinion, Bo Yue didn't care. He was already prepared to go to the place with Nie Wuxiao. There was no hope for him to become the Black Dragon Division's Head Commander, but now that there was a chance for him to become the Head Commander, he naturally didn't want to let it go.
As for Qu Yahong and Mu Yulian, Bo Yue was also prepared to bring them along with him. Once he went to the place, he could openly take them in as his concubines, unlike in the Imperial Guards, where there were so many taboos.
Originally, Miao Yi was prepared to let it go. Many of the people below had their necks stretched out and were eagerly watching. Having two more positions could pacify the hearts of the people. However, Yang Qing believed that if one didn't plan for the future, there would be immediate worries. Since there was an opportunity in his hands, he shouldn't let it go. He suggested to detain Qu Yahong and Mu Yulian, and not let the two of them go with Bo Yue. He was prepared to keep them as a backup plan to nurture his relationship with Bo Yue.
However, Miao Yi felt that he wouldn't be able to keep them. He had already promised Nie Wuxiao that he would hand them over if she wanted them. Given the relationship between the two women and Bo Yue, he might not be able to keep them.
However, Yang Qing said that he had the confidence to make the two women stay on their own, so Miao Yi told him to handle it.
Yang Qing personally went to look for Qu Yahong and Mu Yulian, letting them decide whether to stay or leave. However, he reminded them that if they stayed now, the two of them would definitely be able to sit on the Great Commander's position. However, once they went to the place, they would inevitably have to struggle fiercely with the local forces. Even if they succeeded in the struggle, based on their ranks, they would still only be Great Commanders.
What he especially emphasized was that once the Great Commander's position was given to someone else, it wouldn't be easy to change the Head Commander's Head Commander in the future. The two of them would have to consider their own paths.
