Some people couldn't help but sigh in their hearts. How nice it was to be on the Kou family's good side. To have a black-armored heavenly soldier in charge of the headquarters was unprecedented!
Even Miao Yi, who was slowly regaining his composure, thought that the Kou family had helped arrange this. He muttered to himself, 'Why didn't the Kou family give me a heads up about this?'
"Why didn't you accept the decree?" Wen Ze barked.
"As you command!" Miao Yi hurriedly answered and accepted the decree from the other party's hands.
"Sigh!" Having completed his mission, Wen Ze's expression relaxed. He patted Miao Yi's shoulder with a look that said, "Little Brother, take care of yourself. Don't stir up any more trouble in the future." After saying this, he led his men away.
Miao Yi was taken aback. Why did it sound like this wasn't a good thing?
He didn't think there was anything wrong with going to the phantom market's Commander Ren. The position of the phantom market's Commander was a place for him to pass his days. Furthermore, the emperor was far away, so there was no one to care about him. He had a lot of freedom, and he even got paid for nothing. If he really couldn't handle it, he could just hide in the phantom market's Commander Manor and cultivate. Besides, the Kou family wouldn't go so far as to harm him, would they?
"Congratulations, Milord. You've been reinstated to the Commander Ren."
A group of Black Dragon Division personnel who were unaware of the situation quickly came up to congratulate him. Miao Yi could only say a few polite words.
When he returned to the Kou family's side residence, Xing Ling contacted the Kou family, only to find out that even the Kou family didn't know about this at all. It wasn't the Kou family's doing at all. Only then did he realize the severity of the situation. Things might not be as perfect as he thought.
Kou Lingxu's Residence, Third Hall. Seated behind his desk, Kou Lingxu's expression darkened when he received the news.
Even though he knew that Master Qing wasn't willing to let them go and was dragging his feet, he didn't think he would be so ruthlessly tricked by Master Qing. Phantom market, how could Master Qing even think of it?
"He wants my Kou Family and the Xiahou Family to fight. I'm afraid that he wants to see both sides suffer!" Kou Lingxu's face darkened as he blurted out.
Old Tang sighed. "Master Qing's move is indeed powerful. Your Highness, it's not wise for the Kou family to fight the Xiahou family. In the phantom market, the Kou family is no match for the Xiahou family. It's not worth it to kill eight hundred of their enemies, but three thousand of our own. If not, we can only let Niu Youde do as he pleases. "
Kou Lingxu's eyes flashed fiercely. "After spending so much effort and making it known to the whole world, I finally managed to get my hands on her. Now, I'm forced to give up. If I can't even protect my own person, how can I convince the public? What would the world think? "
Old Tang frowned. This was indeed a troublesome matter. If they couldn't protect Niu Youde, it would be a serious blow to His Highness' prestige.
Their father was furious. The three brothers stood below, not daring to make a sound. After a moment of silence in the hall, Kou Zheng tried to speak, "Father, if it really doesn't work, why don't we let Niu Youde hide there for the time being and not leave the headquarters? The people outside can't possibly attack and kill him. "
Old Tang shook his head and said, "Sir, then what's the point of recruiting Niu Youde? Qing Zhu's meaning was very clear. For the sake of Wangye's face, he couldn't do anything to Niu Youde directly. Throwing Niu Youde into the Phantom City was because he wanted the Kou Family and the Xiahou Family to fight. Even if they didn't fight, he could still trap Niu Youde in the Phantom City. Niu Youde had no achievements in the Phantom City, no merit, and would never be promoted. There would always be an excuse to continue punishing him. If he could be suppressed in the Phantom City forever, then Niu Youde would lose his meaning to the Kou Family. What Fire Asura's disciple? What Marshal's talent would become empty and useless. It's tasteless to eat, but a pity to throw away, and the Kou Family would have to spend their energy to protect him. The loss outweighs the gain! "
Kou Zheng was silent. He understood Old Tang's meaning. He was advising his father to let Niu Youde run his own course in the Phantom City, and not to go head-to-head for the sake of face.
But then again, if Niu Youde fell in the Phantom City, not to mention his father, even he would feel ashamed to go out in the future. Snatching a person from the hands of the Heavenly Kings hadn't been happy for long, and now it turned out to be like this. It was truly a joke!
Kou Qin suddenly muttered: "This Niu Youde, too careless. He's still so arrogant even after being punished. He doesn't know how to stand obediently. Now it's great, he has such a big handle in Lord Qing's hands."
The others glanced at him, but didn't say anything. But who didn't know that Lord Qing's purpose of punishing Niu Youde to stand in the Yu Garden for a hundred years was to find an opportunity to find fault. Even without this matter, Lord Qing would still find another excuse. The person was under Lord Qing's hands, and Lord Qing had enough time and methods to prepare.
Bang! Kou Lingxu, who had been silent for a while, suddenly slapped the table and stood up, "Lord Qing has gone too far, Ben Wang is going to find him for an explanation!"
As soon as he walked out, Old Tang reached out to stop him, "Your Highness! The decree has been issued, I'm afraid it's hard to take back what's spilled. Now it seems that the so-called hundred years of punishment was premeditated from the beginning. From the beginning, this move of the Ghost City was prepared. Niu Youde has such a big handle on him. It's fine if he didn't say it, but once it's said, Niu Youde's matter can't be justified no matter where it was put. No one can say anything if he is punished again. The most important thing is that Lord Qing has calculated that only Your Highness will oppose this. The other families will certainly look on with folded arms and won't join forces with Your Highness to oppose. Maybe they'll even hit him when he's down. Your Highness, without the support of the other families, it's hard to make a name for yourself! The key is that Lord Qing's side is in the right, so it's not wrong to punish him again! "
Kou Lingxu said in a low voice: "Do you want Ben Wang to sit back and do nothing? If I don't go to him, then there's no possibility. If I go to him, perhaps there's still a chance. "
Old Tang secretly sighed and stepped back to make way.
Heavenly Palace, Sunset Garden.
"There are more than twelve thousand shifts, and he's only on duty three hundred times. That's just a fraction. What does this count as? It's simply outrageous! If it weren't for Kou Qing's face, Zhen would've wanted to chop off his head after hearing this! If everyone in the Heavenly Court imitates him, then where are the heavenly rules and discipline? Could it be that Kou Qing still wants to plead for him? "Lord Qing almost roared as he questioned Kou Lingxu, who came to ask for an explanation. He deliberately flared up.
Kou Lingxu: "This subject is not pleading for him. Of course, he must be punished! This subject only feels that it's inappropriate for him to go to the Ghost City. I ask Your Majesty to give this old subject some face and let this old subject take him to the Northern Army to punish him severely! "
Lord Qing: "Kou Qing, Zhen is already giving you face. If it weren't for your face, would he be able to temporarily take the position of Ghost City's Head Commander with his current rank?"
Kou Lingxu: "Your Majesty …"
"Alright!" Lord Qing directly interrupted him: "Zhen understands your thoughts, but you also have to understand Zhen's difficulties. Everyone is watching with their eyes wide open. He's been on duty for more than twelve thousand shifts, so he can be absent for twelve thousand times. No matter how you look at it, this cannot be justified. If Zhen still let Kou Qing take him to the Northern Army under such circumstances, what would everyone think? If everyone imitates him in the future, how would Zhen still have the confidence to uphold the law of heaven? Kou Qing, there's nothing wrong with going to the Ghost City. There's still a chance to make contributions. Wait until he makes contributions, then it won't be too late to properly transfer him to the Northern Army. Why be in such a hurry? Then it's settled! "
Bullshit! Making contributions in the Ghost City means that there will be a conflict with the Xiahou family. He's afraid that his life will be gone before he can make any contributions! Kou Lingxu curses wildly in his heart, but Lord Qing doesn't let go of the reason of skipping work for more than ten thousand times. This isn't just one or two times, but more than ten thousand times. It's scary to hear, so you don't have any temper!
He tried his best to fight for it. He knows that it's useless to say anything else. The matter is already set in stone, so Kou Lingxu can only take his leave.
Watching him leave, Lord Qing beckons Shangguan Qing, who was standing on the side, to come over, "Your Majesty!"
Lord Qing: "I'm afraid it won't be easy for him to swallow this! Pojun also has a lot of opinions about sending Niu Youde to the Ghost City. Pojun still hopes that Niu Youde will stay in the Guards to serve. Do you have any other ideas? "
Shangguan Qing can tell that His Majesty doesn't want to easily give up on the Fire Asura's disciple to serve him. After all, he's been cultivating him for so many years, and he won't feel comfortable if someone else takes the fruits of his labor. He hesitates, "Unless Niu Youde and the Kou family's in-laws are broken, and this old servant arranges for someone to get rid of Yun Zhiqiu?"
"No!" Lord Qing waves his hand, "If we do it forcefully, it'll have a bad influence. Even if I didn't do it, Kou Lingxu will suspect that I did it. If we really wanted to do it forcefully, we wouldn't have waited until now. Rules are rules, and they can't be broken. Moreover, if Niu Youde suspected that I killed his wife, would he still be willing to serve me? I say, Shangguan, why are you becoming more and more like Gao Guan? Why do you always want to kill people? Can't you think of a safer way? "
Shangguan Qing hesitated for a moment, then his eyes turned and an idea came to his mind, "Then let Niu Youde take the initiative to divorce his wife!"
Lord Qing raises his brows, "He's willing to pay any price for this woman. How can he take the initiative to divorce his wife?"
Shangguan Qing whispers, "The pervert Jiang Yiyi has made many contributions, and he's best at this kind of thing. He's already made many disobedient officials suffer. Niu Youde dragged Jiang Yiyi into the Youding Domain incident, so it's only natural that Jiang Yiyi would seek revenge. Moreover, with Jiang Yiyi's identity, no one will suspect the Heaven Court. "
Lord Qing slowly turns to look at him. Without saying anything, he clasps his hands behind his back and leaves silently …
In the pavilion of King Hao Tian's residence, Hao Defang, who is playing chess with Su Yun, sneered, "Ghost City! I'm afraid Kou Lingxu will have a headache. "
In the residence of King Guang Tian, Lord Guang Ling, who is leaning against the railing on the attic snorts, "Can Kou Lingxu still laugh now?"
In the residence of King Ying Tian, Ying Jiuguang, who is pacing around the garden, also sneered, "I knew Lord Qing wouldn't let this go. Old Kou has shot himself in the foot."
In the forbidden garden of King Tian's residence, under an old tree that looks like a big umbrella, Xiahou Ta is silent with his eyes closed.
Wei Shu, "Master, Lord Qing wants the Kou family and us to fight to the point where both sides suffer! The Kou family should be able to see it. I hope they can make Niu Youde behave in the Ghost City. "
Xiahou Ta slowly opens his eyes, "What's the use of him behaving? The other three families are also eager to watch the show. They have plenty of ways to provoke him. "
Wei Shu is about to reply, but he pauses and takes out a star bell. After listening, he reports, "Master, Kou Lingxu has personally come to visit."
