Not to mention them, even Yun Zhiqiu and the other women were trying to stifle their laughter as they watched Hai Pingxin run away.
Miao Yi was almost in the same state. However, Yang Qing transmitted his voice to his ear, "Milord, something happened at the Carefree Tavern outside the headquarters. I sent someone to investigate. I reckon that the people from the Pavilion of Faith and Justice made a move to capture someone. Not only that, there are also people being taken away one after another outside the headquarters. Those who dare to make such a move outside the headquarters are most likely from the Pavilion of Faith and Justice as well. However, we still don't know what happened here."
Miao Yi was startled when he turned around. He knew about this beforehand. Although the phantom city's headquarters did not have many men — only about a thousand men — it would be difficult for them to do anything in the phantom city. However, the incident happened right outside the headquarters, so it would be difficult for them not to hear about it. Yang Qing had mentioned it before, and now that he mentioned it again, it felt like a reminder.
In reality, with limited resources, Yang Qing had already arranged as many men as he could the moment he arrived. Miao Yi agreed with this as well. He couldn't place all his hopes on someone else's protection. If something happened, he would at least be able to put up a resistance. At least he wouldn't have to wait until someone held a knife to his neck.
With this reminder, Miao Yi quickly looked at Jiang Yiyi on the ground, then back at Yang Qing. He transmitted his voice back, "You mean to say that the commotion outside is the Pavilion of Faith and Justice trying to capture him?"
Yang Qing replied, "I can't be sure, but it's possible. Milord, why don't you think about it? If the Pavilion of Faith and Justice really did capture this Jiang Yiyi outside the headquarters, then what is he trying to do by appearing outside the headquarters? "
As soon as he said this, Miao Yi was taken aback. The perverted Jiang Yiyi was infamous, and he didn't need anyone to remind him of what he had done. On top of that, Miao Yi had made Jiang Yiyi the scapegoat for his actions in the Youding Domain. And now, Jiang Yiyi had appeared outside the phantom market's headquarters. Even if Miao Yi didn't want to think in that direction, he still had to.
He met Yang Qing's gaze, and Yang Qing nodded slightly, as if saying that he had the same thought.
Miao Yi quickly glanced at Yun Zhiqiu, then at Jiang Yiyi. This time, there was no pity in his eyes — it was replaced by a murderous intent!
To be honest … He hadn't thought of killing Jiang Yiyi before. Although he had made Jiang Yiyi a scapegoat for the incident in Youding Domain, it didn't matter. Even if Jiang Yiyi fell into the hands of the Heavenly Court and said that he hadn't caused any trouble in Youding Domain … So what? No one could prove that the fake Jiang Yiyi had anything to do with him.
Originally, he was going to hand Jiang Yiyi over to the Heavenly Court for interrogation. That way, he would be more valuable to the Heavenly Court. To put it bluntly, he didn't mind exchanging the gifts from the Pavilion of Loyalty and Justice to the Heavenly Court for merits. But now, he suspected that this perverted traitor had designs on Yun Zhiqiu. He couldn't even tolerate the dignified lieutenant of the Yuding Region. How could he tolerate this pervert?
He didn't want to kill Jiang Yiyi because he knew that Jiang Yiyi was a member of the Great Ensemble, and Master Qing was behind the Great Ensemble. He didn't want to cause any trouble. Now, he wanted to kill Jiang Yiyi because he knew that Jiang Yiyi was a member of the Great Ensemble. Now that he had fallen into the hands of the Heavenly Court, he couldn't be sure that the Heavenly Court would definitely kill him. Since he dared to lay a finger on Yun Zhiqiu, how could he leave him alive?
He made a decision almost instantly. This thief was courting death! He was prepared to hand the dead Jiang Yiyi to the Heavenly Court. Even if the Heavenly Court used the excuse of not investigating Jiang Yiyi's crimes back then and reprimanded him for killing a criminal, Jiang Yiyi's death would still be considered a contribution.
Yan Xiu and the others were secretly shocked when they sensed the killing intent emanating from Miao Yi's body. They didn't know what Yang Qing had said to Miao Yi in secret just now, but Miao Yi actually wanted to kill the doomed Jiang Yiyi.
"From the looks of it, it seems like the Pavilion of Faith and Righteousness has already interrogated him. I wonder if they managed to get anything out of him. The Pavilion of Faith and Righteousness sent him here, but refused to tell me where they captured him. This makes me feel a little strange. I suspect that there's something fishy going on here!" Yang Qing secretly added. It seemed like he couldn't make up his mind on whether Miao Yi wanted to kill Jiang Yiyi or not.
Miao Yi didn't feel anything about this. Whether there was something fishy or not, he didn't want Jiang Yiyi to leave alive!
However, at this moment, He Yiguan quickly appeared outside. He reported, "Milord!"
"Come in!" Miao Yi coldly called out.
He Yiguan came in and cupped his fists at everyone. He walked over to Miao Yi's side and reported, "Milord, there's a rumor going around. They're saying that our Headquarters Manor has captured the perverted Jiang Yiyi. "His gaze fell on the half-dead Jiang Yiyi lying on the ground.
Miao Yi looked at Yang Qing in surprise, as though asking, 'We've only just received him. How did the news spread so quickly?'
Yang Qing's eyes flashed, and he decisively transmitted his voice over, "Milord, it must be the Pavilion of Faith and Righteousness who leaked the news. Otherwise, it wouldn't have spread so quickly. There must be something fishy going on here that we don't know about! " He then turned to He Yiguan and said, "Commander He, I'll have to trouble you to investigate further. If there's anything else, immediately report back to Milord!"
He Yiguan glanced at Miao Yi. Seeing that Miao Yi didn't respond, he cupped his fists and quickly left.
Miao Yi fell into deep thought. However, he couldn't figure out the reason why the Pavilion of Faith and Righteousness would do this. With his thoughts in turmoil, he hesitated for a moment before transmitting his voice over to Yang Qing, "I'll tell you a secret. This Jiang Yiyi is a member of the Ensemble of Heroes." He wanted to let Yang Qing know a little more, in hopes that he could borrow his brain to find out the answer.
Yang Qing was shocked, and hurriedly transmitted his voice over to ask, "Milord, are you sure?"
Miao Yi said, "During the assessment in the Lifeless Lands, this Jiang Yiyi was on the wanted list. I also accidentally found out about this. However, this matter concerns the Heavenly Court's top secret, so I have never revealed it to anyone."
Yang Qing's eyes flashed, and he suddenly said, "I'm afraid the Pavilion of Faith and Righteousness has already found out something from Jiang Yiyi's body. Once such a secret is revealed, the Heavenly Court will definitely be enraged!"
Miao Yi said, "I understand what you mean, but there's one thing I don't understand. If the Pavilion of Faith and Righteousness really found out something from his body, why did they let him leave alive? Once he falls into the Heavenly Court's hands, the Heavenly Court will naturally be able to interrogate him and find out if he leaked the Heavenly Court's secrets to the Pavilion of Faith and Righteousness. Wouldn't it be better if he died without any evidence?"
Yang Qing said, "Milord, you can't think of everything according to plan. That will only make you fall into someone else's trap. Milord, why don't you think about it from another perspective? If the Pavilion of Faith and Righteousness wants to use Jiang Yiyi's mouth to cover up the truth that they already know, then everything can be explained! This kind of secret means danger to us, because we don't have the qualifications to fight against the Heavenly Court. However, it's different for the Pavilion of Faith and Righteousness. They can use this as leverage to threaten the Heavenly Court at a crucial moment, and it will be of great use to them. Milord, if this Jiang Yiyi really is a member of the Great Ensemble, then the Heavenly Court will definitely be anxious if he falls into the Pavilion of Faith and Righteousness's hands. The Heavenly Court will definitely want to know if Jiang Yiyi has leaked anything. Milord, we can't kill this Jiang Yiyi. If he dies here, it won't be a good thing. Why don't we follow the Pavilion of Faith and hand him over? This matter isn't something we can participate in with our meager strength. Otherwise, who knows what kind of trouble we will stir up. At a time like this, it's better to be quiet than to move. Milord, just pretend you don't know anything and just accept this credit. "
Unexpectedly, Miao Yi said in a sinister tone, "What's the meaning of the Heavenly Court arranging for this Jiang Yiyi to stay outside the headquarters?"
"Sigh!" Yang Qing sighed, "There's no need for me to explain. I'm sure Milord already has an answer in his heart."
Miao Yi's expression darkened, and he didn't say another word …
"What? He fell into the hands of the phantom city's headquarters? Can you confirm it? "
Huangfu Liankong asked in surprise, deep within the inner courtyard of the Huangfu Family Residence.
Huangfu Yan, who was following behind him, replied, "We can't confirm it for now. However, there are already rumors in the phantom city."
Huangfu Liankong said, "Then why aren't you going to find out more? Are you going to wait for our men to charge into the Pavilion of Faith and Righteousness and come back empty-handed? Do you think we'll end up in trouble instead? "
Huangfu Yan said, "The people in the phantom city's headquarters don't know the situation. Niu Youde and the others are newcomers, so we can't communicate with them for now. If he's already in Niu Youde's hands, I'm sure he'll report it. Perhaps the higher-ups already know about the situation. Why don't you ask them, Father? "
"Bullshit! You can't even find out about something like this, and you still want the higher-ups to give me an explanation at a time like this? Do you think the higher-ups don't hate us enough? " Huangfu Liankong's old face almost bumped into his son's face. He waved his hand and pointed outside. "That granddaughter of yours? Doesn't Y know Niu Youde? Why don't you ask her to contact him? "
"They don't seem to have a good relationship. Wouldn't asking about something like this reveal that it's related to us?"
"Why don't you ask her to make a detour and test the waters?"
Huangfu Yan lost his temper and took out his Star Bell to make contact.
In a quiet little building, Huangfu Duanrong sat down on a stool by the window after receiving a message from her father. She was a little dumbfounded.
She had finally cut off the connection between her daughter and Niu Youde, but her father wanted her to get her daughter to contact Niu Youde again. What was going on? Unfortunately, there were some things that she could not explain to her father, and her father's attitude was very firm. It was as if he had to contact Niu Youde, and he wanted her to do it as soon as possible!
She had no choice. She knew that Jiang Yiyi must have been involved in something important. Otherwise, he would not have rejected her explanation.
She had no choice. She confiscated the Star Bell that her daughter used to contact Niu Youde, and her daughter was now transferred to another Sky Street. She had no choice but to set off immediately to look for her daughter.
However, Huangfu Yan could not explain the situation to her, so she had no idea that it would be too late by the time she found her daughter.
What was even funnier was that not long after, Huangfu Liankong received another notice from the higher-ups, saying that Niu Youde had already reported that Jiang Yiyi was in Niu Youde's hands. The higher-ups ordered the Great Ensemble to suspend their attack on the Pavilion of Loyalty and Justice.
The Huangfu father and son heaved a sigh of relief. Things would be easier now that Jiang Yiyi was in the phantom market's main government office. The higher-ups should have a way to resolve this.
The upper echelons of the Huangfu Clan were truly thrown into confusion by this sudden incident. Right now, the Huangfu father and son were completely focused on how to eliminate the repercussions of this incident, and had actually forgotten about contacting Huangfu Duanrong. After all, Huangfu Jun? It did not matter if they could get any useful information from him. It would be great if they could, but it did not matter even if they could not get it.
At the Heavenly Palace, Shangguan Qing paced back and forth outside the Heavenly Palace after giving the order to the Great Ensemble.
