"You're crazy!" Wen Ze bellowed.
Miao Yi looked at the group of people who had already disappeared from sight, and calmly said, "Big Brother Wen, you're exaggerating. I was ordered to protect the imperial fields, yet someone dared to trample on the concubines' hard work, and even resisted arrest. This is outrageous. I would be crazy if I didn't care. What's wrong with being loyal to my duty? I believe the higher-ups should reward me instead!"
"..." Wen Ze was speechless. He looked at the destroyed crops in the fields and realized Miao Yi's intentions. His mouth twitched.
The other two red-armored generals looked at the destroyed crops in the imperial fields and exchanged glances, speechless as well.
The people from the Black Dragon Division broke out in a cold sweat. They had long heard of their predecessor's reputation, and now they finally got to see it for themselves. This was too much. Just what kind of people did he kill? It seemed like Yuan Qing was going to be quite interesting this time.
Standing alone nearby, Guang Mei'er covered her mouth in shock. Her face was filled with fear, as though she had returned to the scene she saw on top of Nine Ring Star Sky Street.
She never imagined things would turn out like this in the blink of an eye. Her friends, who were still laughing and chatting with each other when they first arrived at the imperial gardens, were now covered in blood and corpses. Luo Gui, who had been furious just now, was trembling under Niu Youde's feet, not daring to move.
She didn't care about her friends or Luo Gui for now. Guang Mei'er's expression gradually relaxed, and she slowly lowered her hands from her mouth. Her teeth gently bit down on her red lips, and she looked at Miao Yi with a strange gaze, a little sticky.
She roughly understood why her mother had been so eager in the beginning. Those friends who were usually high and mighty and bossed around the people below them, those gorgeous and extraordinary friends who seemed to be able to do anything, and those friends who were aggressive and insufferably arrogant just a moment ago, were immediately like clay chickens and pottery dogs when they met the real deal, and were so scared that they fled for their lives.
On the other hand, Miao Yi truly treated them like chickens and dogs. He killed them without batting an eyelid, not even batting an eyelid. In an instant, he killed more than a dozen people. The way he stabbed his spear into the ground, suppressed Luo Gui with a kick, and shot the eagle with his bow was truly effortless. It was a stark contrast to her friends who were running for their lives. He was truly domineering. He was too manly. He had completely conquered her in an instant!
Guang Mei 'er was mesmerized by that domineering scene. She stared at Miao Yi with watery eyes.
Wen Ze's gaze shifted from the destroyed items in the field to Miao Yi's face. He looked at Miao Yi as though he was a monster.
He roughly understood now. 'Damn it, the three of us have been used by Miao Yi. What bullsh * t did he mean by showing up at the most crucial moment? Miao Yi must have been waiting by the side of Yu Tian all along to lure them over to Yu Tian so that he could find an excuse to kill them. If it weren't for the appearance of the three of them, those people who were originally planning to make a move on Niu Youde would have fought Miao Yi instead. They wouldn't have been so frightened by Miao Yi that they had to flee. In the end, the three of them came out to suppress the situation, and they didn't even dare to retaliate. This allowed Niu Youde to kill to his heart's content.
Wen Ze really wanted to curse Miao Yi's eighteen generations of ancestors, but when he thought about it, he didn't think much of it. They only showed their faces, but didn't do anything at all. Instead, they were the ones who put a stop to it, so they couldn't be blamed for anything. Niu Youde was just borrowing their influence, so it couldn't be said that he was taking advantage of them. He then slowly let go of Miao Yi's wrist, flung it away, and pointed at Miao Yi. He sighed and said, "Brother, let's see how you're going to report back!"
"Hehe! Report back? Just them? Bullshit! I, Niu Youde, can't even count the number of people I've killed. I've been through life and death many times. If I can't even take care of a bunch of good-for-nothings, then I won't be able to make a name for myself anymore! " If that's the case, then I don't need to show my face anymore! "
He could do as he pleased even without the Kou Clan's backing. Now that he had the Kou Clan's backing, what was there for him to be afraid of? If the Kou Clan couldn't help him even when he was in the right, then the Kou Clan wouldn't be able to make a name for themselves in the imperial court in the future. If the Kou Clan couldn't even handle such a small matter, then how could he expect them to be his backer? Not to mention, he was still a member of the Royal Guards. If he was in the right, and his subordinates were loyal to their duties, then how could the Royal Guards side with the outsiders and allow others to say bad things about them?
Putting away the Transcendence Bow, Miao Yi drew his spear and slowly moved the sharp tip of the spear towards Luo Gui's face. Luo Gui was so frightened that he cried out, "No!"
Whoosh! Wen Ze also grabbed the spear in Miao Yi's hand and said solemnly, "That's enough! If you capture him, just hand him over to the higher-ups to deal with. If you capture him and still kill him, then you won't be able to stop those officials from slandering you. "
Miao Yi said, "If I really wanted to kill him, he would've been dead a long time ago. Otherwise, why would I let him live when he was right in front of me? I let him live so that he can go back and answer to his family. He shouldn't be so stupid as to not know that he was being used by others." Bang! He raised his leg and kicked Luo Gui, sending him flying.
Pfft! Luo Gui spat out another mouthful of blood as he crashed to the ground. Miao Yi wasn't holding back at all. How could he not teach the other party a lesson for his arrogance earlier?
"Tie him up and hand him over to the higher-ups to deal with!" Miao Yi calmly ordered.
This was acceptable. He wouldn't have to bear any responsibility. A few people from the Black Dragon Division rushed out and restrained Luo Gui, then tied him up with Immortal Binding Ropes.
Wen Ze and the other two generals watched on with a pained expression. Was this bastard Niu Youde even considered a Silver Armored Heavenly Soldier of the lowest rank? All the Corporals, Centurions, and Deputy Generals had to act according to his wishes. Just who exactly was his superior?!
Guang Mei 'er timidly approached, but she didn't dare to approach her friend's corpse. "Big Brother Niu, it's all my fault. I brought you trouble."
Miao Yi shook his head and said, "Mei 'er, this has nothing to do with you. You were just being used. Even if you don't understand, your family will."
At this moment, a group of people descended from the sky. Mu Yulian had heard the report from her subordinates and quickly rushed over with her subordinates. Her two Vice Chiefs, East Suppressing Jiuzhen and Chi Yan, were also present.
As soon as they landed and saw the situation, their expressions turned grim.
Mu Yulian was a little better off, but East Suppressing Jiuzhen and Chi Yan were secretly groaning, 'Great Ancestor Niu, what the hell are you doing? You've already been demoted all the way to the bottom, yet you still won't stop? Today is the Heavenly Court's annual celebration. So many descendants of influential families have died in one go.
Mu Yulian and the others first bowed to Wen Ze and the other two. The three of them waved their hands and quickly moved away. Before the matter was settled, they didn't want to be dragged into this mess.
"Greetings, Lord Commander. Greetings, Vice Chiefs!" Miao Yi cupped his fists and bowed.
Mu Yulian, East Suppressing Jiuzhen, and Chi Yan didn't dare to put on airs in front of Miao Yi. They quickly cupped their fists and returned the greeting. The three of them then stood in front of Miao Yi and asked him in hushed tones what was going on.
Watching from afar, Wen Ze and the other two once again felt a headache coming on. They realized that the Black Dragon Sector was in a mess. The higher-ups had already disbanded the Black Dragon Sector and completely replaced its members. Yet, they couldn't erase Niu Youde's influence in the Black Dragon Sector. Even the goddamn higher-ups of the Black Dragon Sector had to be polite to Niu Youde.
"Sigh! It seems like Niu Youde's influence has been deeply ingrained in the Black Dragon Sector. Even if Niu Youde is transferred away, it's useless. That soul is still there. Anyone who joins the Black Dragon Sector will be affected, and will be proud of the battle at Youding Domain! "Wen Ze shook his head.
The other red-armored general laughed, "I can see it now. Even if we don't show up, this is still Niu Youde's territory. Those bastards won't be able to get away with it. Niu Youde just doesn't want to cause trouble for the others in the Black Dragon Sector. That's why he asked us to show up. I say, those bastards. Of all people to provoke, they had to come to Niu Youde's territory and provoke him. Why don't they take a look at what kind of person this kid is? Even if they want to play dirty, they shouldn't have sent these good-for-nothings to shoot themselves in the foot. The higher-ups are in for a laugh now. "
Another general shook his head, "His reputation is well-deserved. No wonder all four families want to recruit him. This Niu Youde must have some skill to be able to survive to this day."
Meanwhile, Miao Yi didn't hide anything from Mu Yulian and the others. He directly told them that someone had tried to harm him, and also explained the process of his counterattack.
After listening to him, Mu Yulian and the others breathed a sigh of relief. Miao Yi's actions had avoided implicating the Black Dragon Sector as much as possible, and he was on the right side of things. Even if the higher-ups wanted to pursue the matter, it wouldn't be right to implicate the entire Black Dragon Sector. They might even take it out on Miao Yi alone.
Li Palace. Inside the Pleasure Garden, the emperor and his ministers were holding a banquet. The Celestial Emperor sat high up on the throne, and the families of the ministers retreated after paying their respects and receiving their rewards.
The Celestial Empress was holding an outdoor banquet to entertain the ladies of the various families. Even if the sky wasn't visible, the number of concubines in the harem alone was not a small number. The ministers also had many concubines. Even though the Li Palace was large, it wasn't large enough to accommodate so many people at the same time.
Today, the emperor and his ministers put aside their official business and ate and chatted. It was quite a joyous occasion.
Kou Zheng received an exception from the guards and entered the side hall. He walked to Kou Lingxu's side and leaned over, whispering into the latter's ear, "Father, something's wrong. Niu Youde killed more than a dozen scions of the ministers' families, including Ying Jiuguang's grandson. The descendants of the Marshal, Star Sovereign, and Marquis are all among them."
With a smile on his face, Kou Lingxu accepted the toast from the other side. He raised his cup and took a sip of the bejeweled nectar, nearly choking to death. His expression changed drastically, and he forcefully invoked his arts to stop himself from coughing. He abruptly turned around and asked, "Is that guy crazy? Didn't you tell him to hold it in? "
"I did. I made it very clear."
"Didn't you send someone to keep an eye on him?"
"He said he knew what he was doing. He could handle it."
"Fool!"
"Father, things aren't as bad as you think. Niu Youde planned things out before making his move …" Kou Zheng reported the details of the situation.
Hearing this, Kou Lingxu's expression softened a little. He glanced at the others in the room, and a mocking smile appeared on his lips. "I knew that brat wasn't someone who didn't know the gravity of the situation. Looks like someone shot himself in the foot. Don't be careless. Go see for yourself and see if there's anything you missed … You stay by his side and don't let anyone take advantage of the situation. If anything happens, contact me with the Star Bell. "
"Yes!" Kou Zheng responded and quickly left.
The Left Commandant of the Suppressing Second Guard, Hua Yitian, who was also present, put away the Star Bell in his hand. He quietly got up and walked behind the Commander of the Left Commandant of the Suppressing Second Guard, Defeating Armies, and transmitted his voice to him. Defeating Armies's eyes widened, but soon after, he slowly relaxed and nodded to indicate that he understood.
