His words made her imagination run wild.
After an unknown period of time, she suddenly noticed that the carriage was gradually slowing down until it stopped. She stretched her head out of the window and saw a beautiful and huge planet in front of her. From time to time, she could see cultivators flying back and forth.
Gou Yue's voice came from outside the door again. "Madam, we're almost there. It's too conspicuous to carry the carriage into Celestial Street." The way he addressed her had changed.
"Got it," Mei Niang replied. Mei Niang replied. She put a gauze hat on her daughter's head and put one on herself.
The mother and daughter walked out of the door and found that Gou Yue had already put on a mask and turned into an old man with a rigid expression. The mother and daughter held hands and floated to the starry sky.
The carriage was put away, and the bearers became guards. Gou Yue led the way, and the group quickly broke through the Qi shield and entered Planet Nine Rings.
They descended from the sky and landed under a big tree in an open space not far from the east gate of Planet Nine Rings. Only the east gate had people coming and going. The rest of the city gates were all sealed. A large number of celestial soldiers and celestial generals were checking people entering the city. There were no restrictions on people leaving the city, but judging from the frequent patrolling soldiers on top of the city wall, the atmosphere was still tense.
Xia Lingling, the manager of the Pavilion of Truth, was still a charming woman. The Pavilion of Truth was the property of the Guang Family, so naturally, she was also a member of the Guang Family. At this moment, she hurriedly swept over from the hillside and bowed to a thin man beside Gou Yue, "Xia Lingling respectfully welcomes the head shopkeeper."
The manager, Han Dong, was the person in charge of all the shops of the Guang family on Celestial Street. There were also deacons under him who were in charge of the shops in various areas. Xia Lingling usually only kept in contact with the executives above her. Under normal circumstances, she wouldn't be able to see this shopkeeper except for when there was a big accounting. After all, the Guang Clan had tens of thousands of shops of all sizes on Sky Street, which meant that there were tens of thousands of shopkeepers. There were two shops on Sky Street, so how could the shopkeeper have the time to keep in contact with every shopkeeper?
Han Dong stared at her for a while, then took out a jade archive and handed it to her.
Xia Lingling took the jade archive and looked at it. It contained the accounts she had reported. There was her magical seal on it. The lower half of the contents had been erased, leaving only her magical seal. She suddenly understood that the manager probably had no impression of her. He wanted her to make a Dharma seal to verify it.
He immediately invoked his arts and imprinted his transcendence seal onto the jade archive, then returned it with both hands.
After Han Dong received the jade archive and compared it, he put it away and asked, "Is everything ready?"
Xia Lingling replied respectfully, "Everything has been prepared as instructed."
Han Dong turned around and bowed slightly to Gou Yue. Gou Yue nodded. Han Dong waved at Xia Lingling and said, "Lead the way."
"Yes!" Xia Lingling agreed, but she was secretly shocked. She secretly sized up Gou Yue, not knowing who he was.
To Xia Lingling, the head shopkeeper was a very important person. He was in charge of most of the financial channels of the heavenly monarch's estate, so it was easy to imagine his status in the heavenly monarch's estate. He was already a very powerful person, but he was so respectful to this disguised old man. Just who was this person?
However, her heart was suddenly startled by his figure. She met someone she had seen from afar, the Head Butler of the Heavenly King's Residence, Gou Yue!
There should be no mistake. Apart from the masters of the heavenly monarch's estate, only the Head Butler of the Heavenly King's Residence, Gou Yue, could command such respect from the Head Butler. The head shopkeeper was directly under that person, and was one of his right-hand men.
After guessing who it was, she was so shocked that she almost shivered. Who was the Head Butler of the Heavenly King's Residence? To a certain extent, he could directly represent the Heavenly King of Heavenly King.
Who were those two women wearing gauze hats? Xia Lingling was bewildered. She only knew that there were two women, and her superiors had instructed her to treat them with the best arrangements. There was no need to be afraid of spending money. All expenses would be handled by the superiors.
When they arrived at the city gates, Xia Lingling raised her head to look at the Deputy Commander of the Heavenly Street, Fang Liheng, who was standing on top of the city walls. The latter tilted his head to signal to the guards below.
Thus, the guards at the city gates immediately chased the other people entering the city to the side. They let this group of people in first, and didn't do any searching.
When the group arrived at the Pavilion of Truth, the best courtyard was arranged for Mei Niang and her daughter. The maidservants who served them were also slender and elegant. This was also the reason why those influential shops in the various Heavenly Streets would occupy such a large area and build such a good garden. It wasn't to show off, but to make it convenient to entertain important guests when they came.
After personally looking at the place where the mother and daughter were arranged. By the time Gou Yue left the courtyard, Xia Lingling had already asked everyone to leave. Han Dong welcomed him and reported, "Teacher, we're considered to be late. The other three families have already arrived." After arriving here, he no longer addressed Gou Yue as Head Steward or Housekeeper.
Gou Yue could understand the reason. The Princess had personally come here, and it wasn't good to be negligent on the way here, which delayed some time. He asked, "Who came?"
Han Dong replied, "According to the analysis of the people below, the Kou Family should be Tang Henian, Kou Wenlu, and Kou Wenlan. The Ying Family should be Zuo 'er and Ying Yue. The Hao Family should be Duan Hong and Hao Qingyan."
Gou Yue was surprised. "The Hao Family sent Duan Hong to take charge? They didn't send Su Yun personally? "
Han Dong replied, "Su Yun probably didn't come. I was also worried that there was a mistake, so I specifically confirmed that someone from the Hao Family saw Su Yun still in the residence."
Gou Yue pondered for a while, then suddenly shook his head and chuckled. "It seems that Hao Defang still hasn't forgotten about remarrying Su Yun. The Ying Family is normal, but the Kou Family sent Kou Wenlan, probably because she is familiar with Niu Youde. Ying Yue, Hao Qingyan, hehe, this Kou Wenlu of the Kou Family isn't too outstanding in appearance, so she probably thinks that it's easier to handle things with someone she knows. The other two families have already brought out their most precious daughters, and this Niu Youde has suddenly become very popular. Life really is unpredictable! "
Han Dong muttered in his heart. Let's not talk about each family's matters. Didn't this side also bring out their most precious daughters? Everyone was more or less the same.
Gou Yue tilted his head. "I reckon that the other three families will know the moment we arrive."
Han Dong nodded in agreement. "The people that Mister sent out to scout have already sent back news that Niu Youde is already leading his troops over here. They should arrive in an hour."
Gou Yue nodded slightly. "Is there any movement from the Xiahou Family?"
Han Dong replied, "Nothing unusual has been discovered so far."
Gou Yue said, "Don't be careless. Keep a close eye on those four families."
"Yes!"
A group of figures descended from the sky, attracting the attention of the pedestrians on Celestial Street. When they saw them land in the city, it immediately caused a commotion on the streets.
"Who are these people?"
"Why do they look like they crawled out of a pool of blood?"
"Could it be the Heavenly Court's troops that are fighting outside?"
"Dang … dang … dang …" A few melodious sounds of bells could be heard coming from the direction of the east gate where the group of people had landed, causing a commotion on the streets.
The Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals guarding the east gate panicked and quickly cut off the people entering and leaving the city. Bang! As soon as the gate was closed, the Great City Barrier Array automatically sealed itself.
If it weren't for the pressure from the major families in the city, the gate wouldn't have been opened at all. The people guarding the city naturally didn't know that some of the major families wanted to arrange for people to enter and leave, and insisted on opening one of the four closed gates.
The person who descended from the sky had obviously seen the city gate open. Fang Liheng, the deputy commander of Tianjie, who happened to be here today, leaned out and looked outside the city. He immediately sucked in a breath of cold air.
The one who led the troops here naturally couldn't be anyone else. Miao Yi had rushed over with the remnants of the Blue Tiger Banner.
All of them were dressed in armor. One of them was covered in dark brown, the color of dried blood on his body. His head, his face, and his armor were all covered in that color.
It was the blood of his enemies, his comrades, and the glory of his life. No one could easily erase it. His blood-stained body came here for no other reason than to show off to others. He had to show off, not only for himself, but also for his dead comrades. He couldn't let them die without a trace!
Swords and spears were as thick as a forest, solemn and quiet. After the tens of thousands of people landed, they didn't line up and seemed a little disorderly. However, a different kind of aura rushed towards the closed city gate.
As soon as they landed, the city gate was closed to them, as if they didn't have the right to enter it.
They had risked their lives to get here. They didn't expect to be treated like this the moment they arrived. An invisible flame of anger ignited in everyone's hearts!
Standing in front of the army, Miao Yi coldly stared at Fang Liheng, who had the highest armor joint on top of the city gate. He shouted, "Open the gate!"
The guards on top of the city gate looked at the group of people below. No one laughed at their sorry state. They only felt an invisible murderous aura rushing towards them. They tightened their grip on their swords and spears, feeling their mouths go dry. Seeing these people, they finally understood what it meant to be a real soldier on the battlefield!
Even though they stood on high ground, they couldn't help but feel guilty when they were glared at by the angry gazes.
Fang Liheng was a little frightened. He tried his best to calm himself down and shouted, "Who are you people? Why are you here?"
Miao Yi stared at the top of the city gate. He didn't want to waste any more words with him. He had the urge to order his men to attack the city right away. If he didn't know that Yun Zhiqiu had already fallen into the hands of the Guardian Palace, he wouldn't know what the consequences would be.
Miao Yi gently raised one of his hands and raised it over his shoulder.
The troops behind him immediately moved. Someone took out a metal pole and connected it to the pole. Soon, one after another, large flags were raised into the air.
Blue tiger flags, eagle flags of various colors, and wolf flags of various colors fluttered in the wind. Each of these custom-made flags was stained with blood, and some were even tattered. However, everyone on top of the city gate found it hard to look away.
Miao Yi abruptly invoked his arts and shouted, "Left Commandant, Suppressing First Guard, Big Dipper Army, Black Dragon Division's Head Commander, Niu Youde, is here with his troops. Open the gate!" His voice reverberated throughout the city, carrying a clear sense of anger.
As soon as the name 'Niu Youde' was announced, the pedestrians on the streets fell silent. The shop assistants in the various shops also poked their heads out and listened intently.
"Niu Youde?"
"It's Niu Youde!"
"Why does his voice sound so angry?"
"Could it be those people who descended from the sky just now …?"
"Could he be the one who killed Chu Zishan?"
