Shangguan Qing and Sima Wentian were a little annoyed. The two of them had not offended Defeating Armies, but now they were being scolded by that stubborn donkey as if they were treacherous officials.
Gao Guan still stood there expressionlessly.
The great Heavenly Empress had been publicly scolded by Defeating Armies into a pile of dog shit, scolded to the point that she was worthless. Xiahou Chengyu really wanted to tear Defeating Armies into a thousand pieces. Unfortunately, she couldn't do anything to Defeating Armies. Yet, Defeating Armies had contradicted His Majesty to such an extent, and His Majesty had still let him go.
Although he had left, the hall still seemed to echo with Defeating Armies's deafening voice and Qing Zhu's angry roar.
The few people in the hall quietly looked at Qing Zhu, who was panting with anger, but did not say anything. They all knew that Qing Zhu was angry at this time. Defeating Armies was used to contradicting Qing Zhu, and Qing Zhu was probably used to it as well. But what Defeating Armies could do did not mean that others could do it.
Defeating Armies had done it in one go, but if others suddenly did it, Qing Zhu would definitely suspect their intentions.
After a long time, Xiahou Chengyu dared to speak, "Your Majesty, that old thief is rude. How about leaving Niu Youde to this concubine?"
Gao Guan and the others glanced at her. They did not know what this woman was doing. It was already like this, could it be that she still dared to act against Niu Youde? He originally wanted to cripple you, but with Defeating Armies's temper, if you angered him, did you really think that he would not dare to come here to remonstrate and kill his way into the harem in the name of 'cleansing the emperor's side?'
Qing Zhu's cold eyes swept across, and he shouted, "Leave!"
"Your Majesty …" Xiahou Chengyu wanted to say a few more words, but Qing Zhu glared at her, scaring her into swallowing the words she was about to say. She said weakly, "This concubine will leave!"
After she left, Qing Zhu let out a long sigh and slumped back into his chair, still muttering hatefully, "Old man!"
"Your Majesty!" Sima Wentian probed.
Qing Zhu's eyes swept across, "What is it?"
Sima Wentian switched to using sound transmissions and explained what had happened in the Imperial Garden Manor. Since Gao Guan entered the Headquarter Palace, Gao Guan had told him these things. There were also some things that Gao Guan did not know, which happened after Gao Guan left.
When he heard that Defeating Armies had rewarded Miao Yi's subordinates … He had promoted Miao Yi's subordinate by two ranks, yet he didn't reward Miao Yi, who was the most courageous of them all, the 'main contributor'. Qing Zhu's expression softened a little. He could tell that Defeating Armies still knew his limits. It was one thing for him to step forward to protect Miao Yi, but it was also a fact that Miao Yi had profaned the might of the heavens. Defeating Armies also disapproved of Miao Yi's actions in public.
Especially that sentence, 'Even though I know that I'm facing a strong enemy and authority, I still carry out military orders without any hesitation. I'm unafraid of death. This is the backbone that I, the Left Supervisor, should have. If I don't have this backbone, I'll become an opportunist. How can I be loyal to His Majesty?'
This proved that what Defeating Armies did was for the sake of morale and morale. Just as Defeating Armies had said, if they all became fence-sitters, how could they be loyal to Qing Zhu?
This also proved that Defeating the Army to protect Niu Youde was not his motive. His real motive was to use this matter to persuade Niu Youde.
The words' loyal to His Majesty 'were worth more than a thousand words. The anger that Qing Zhu had been suppressing in his chest dissipated. He quickly calmed down as well. He was a little vexed that he had beaten Defeating Armies so badly in a fit of rage just now.
After a long period of silence, Qing Zhu slowly said, "Could it be that I've really done something wrong? Could it be that I've kept too many beauties in my harem? Could it be that I've really become a lecher in the eyes of the world? "He looked at Sima Wentian, clearly indicating for him to answer first.
Sima Wentian said, "Defeating Armies is just like a dog. He does everything according to his temper. Your Majesty need not take it to heart." In his heart, he added, 'You won't kill him anyway, and you won't be blaming yourself either. Does it matter what we say about this matter?'
Shangguan Qing sighed, "Your Majesty, let's not discuss whether Defeating Armies's specious reasoning is right or wrong. There's something he doesn't understand. It's hard to conquer the world, but it's even harder to rule the world. The world's affairs are actually His Majesty's family affairs. When conquering the world, it's normal to use force to sweep the world. In any case, it has to be rebuilt after it's destroyed. It's fine if it's a little messy. Don't tell me that you have to use your fists to govern your own family? Who's to blame if it's destroyed? If you really use force, not to mention His Majesty, even those who followed His Majesty to conquer the world will not agree to it. To put it bluntly. Defeating Armies is good at war, but not good at governing the world. It's not strange for him to say such words. And we all know that His Majesty is not a lecher. Although there are many beauties in the harem, His Majesty has not touched many of them. The beauties in the harem are just a symbol. They symbolize that His Majesty is the ruler of the world. It's not as unbearable as Defeating Armies said! "
Qing Zhu felt comfortable when he heard this. Not bad! The beauties in the harem are a symbol!
Defeating Armies's words made him reflect and feel conflicted. His heart was in a mess. Now, he finally found a reason to calm himself down. He coldly snorted, "This old man is useless!"
In the blink of an eye, he regained his composure and asked, "How do you think we should deal with Niu Youde's matter?"
When he said this, he was a little depressed. This group of people was actually wasting their brains for a small town.
They also knew that it would be difficult to deal with this matter after Defeating Armies made such a fuss. Defeating Armies forcefully stepped forward to protect Niu Youde and took all the responsibility. But if they let Niu Youde go just like that, how could Sky Emperor, who had lost face, step down?
Everyone was silent. Qing Zhu called out, "Gao Guan, you are the person in charge of interrogation."
Gao Guan said indifferently, "Defeating Armies is arrogant. How dare he obstruct His Majesty's order. In my opinion, we should give Defeating Armies a warning. Behead Niu Youde as a warning to others. Otherwise, if we continue to indulge him, I'm afraid there will be a second Defeating Armies in the future!"
Sima Wentian glanced at him. His words were as good as not saying anything.
Qing Zhu's brows twitched slightly. A second Defeating Armies? Wouldn't it be better to have another Defeating Armies?
He also glanced at Gao Guan subconsciously and said indifferently, "Emissary Gao, don't you admire Niu Youde? Could it be that Defeating Armies offended Emissary Gao because of his arrogance in the Imperial Garden? Or is it because Defeating Armies scolded you just now that you are not a loyal subject? "
Gao Guan said, "I've always been impartial. Since His Majesty said so, I suggest that we act as if nothing happened and let Niu Youde go."
Qing Zhu said, "If we let him go just like that, I'll be giving Defeating Armies some face, but how will King Ying feel?"
They muttered in their hearts, "King Ying's face is secondary. The main thing is probably your own face, right?"
However, the direction of the conversation was already very obvious. After Defeating Armies had messed things up, Qing Zhu no longer had any intention of killing Niu Youde. However, a punishment was unavoidable. If he punished Niu Youde too lightly, he would lose face and it would be hard to explain to the Ying family. If he punished Niu Youde too harshly, he would be afraid that Defeating Armies would cause more trouble.
Gao Guan said, "Send it to the Ancient Dead Lands. This way, Defeating Armies and King Ying will be given face."
"Ancient Dead Lands?" Sima Wentian and Shangguan Qing were stunned. The latter frowned and said, "What's the difference between this and sending him to his death? The murderous aura and murderous aura in there are enough to kill him, not to mention the others. If you want him to die, this is unnecessary. "
Qing Zhu said expressionlessly, "Emissary Gao, Defeating Armies will settle the score with you later. Don't blame me for not being on your side."
Gao Guan suddenly changed his tone to telepathy, "Have you forgotten, Your Majesty? He's the disciple of the Fire Asura. Murderous aura and murderous aura shouldn't be able to hurt him. The Fire Asura only became famous after experiencing the training in the Ancient Dead Lands. "
Qing Zhu was stunned for a moment. He frowned and replied telepathy, "But the Fire Asura's cultivation was already extraordinary before he entered the Ancient Dead Lands. Can he handle it?"
Gao Guan said, "It'll be better if he can follow in the footsteps of the Fire Asura. Your Majesty will have another powerful general. If he can't, he's not stupid. He won't go deep into the Dead Lands to provoke those that he can't afford to. Of course, if Your Majesty thinks that demoting Niu Youde or torturing him will make the Ying Family feel that it's fair, you can choose not to let him go. "
Qing Zhu was silent. Explaining to the Ying Family was secondary. The key was to punish Niu Youde too lightly. He couldn't even get over his own heart. If he didn't punish Niu Youde severely for messing up the wedding ceremony, how would the world see him? Where would his prestige be?
Sima Wentian and Shangguan Qing looked at each other. They didn't know what the two were whispering about.
Then, Qing Zhu finally nodded and said, "Send him to the Ancient Dead Lands. This is the lightest punishment." He meant that it was decided.
Sima Wentian and Shangguan Qing looked at each other and asked Gao Guan. Gao Guan pretended not to see anything.
Shangguan Qing asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to execute it immediately?"
"Let's do it tomorrow. Today is my wedding day. I don't want that old man to spoil my mood again." Qing Zhu stood up and walked out from behind the table. He was much more relaxed now that the matter was settled. He waved his hand and said, "Lead the way. Don't let the Heavenly Consort wait for too long."
Shangguan Qing immediately stretched out his hand to lead the way, and they walked one after the other.
Naturally, Gao Guan and Sima Wentian couldn't follow them. They stood outside the hall and watched them leave. Sima Wentian secretly shook his head. Just a moment ago, Niu Youde said he wasn't a lecherous person. Now, he was in a rush to pamper Ying Jiuguang's granddaughter.
Gao Guan looked on calmly. There were some things that he didn't expect. Even though he was the one who came up with the plan for the phantom market, he didn't expect Qing Zhu to have so many plans. Now, he finally understood why Qing Zhu pushed Zhan Ruyi to the forefront.
The moon shone brightly as the wind blew.
Miao Yi stood at the edge of a cliff and gazed at the bright moon on a mountain far away from the headquarters.
"Don't worry, Milord. With Lord Pojun around, there shouldn't be any problems." Fei Hong walked up to him and comforted him in a low voice.
Miao Yi didn't even turn his head and asked, "Why are you here?"
He wanted to be alone for a while, so he had already told them not to follow him.
"The wind is strong here." Fei Hong took out a cloak and tied it around his shoulders.
As expected, the wind was strong. The cloak fluttered in the wind. Miao Yi turned around and lifted her chin. He smiled and said, "It's been a long time since I've seen you dance. I'm sure Fei Hong's dance under the moon will be quite the sight."
