Yun Zhiqiu furrowed her brows and nodded. "I understand. I will inform Milord of this. You may go."
"Understood!" Yang Zhaoqing cupped his fists and left.
Yun Zhiqiu immediately went to Miao Yi's cultivation room. It was best not to disturb others unless it was urgent, but she was different.
Inside the silent cultivation room, Miao Yi stopped his cultivation and asked Yun Zhiqiu, "Is something the matter?"
Yun Zhiqiu said, "Niu Er, the Kou Clan's men will have to be taken back sooner or later. We can't keep dragging this on forever. However, the Virtuous Assembly Hall's men can't be recruited so easily either. We have to go through some screening and selection, and this will take some time. What exactly do you think about the men in the headquarters? Why don't we just accept the men from the Heavenly Court?"
Miao Yi sighed. "It's not like you don't know our situation. We have so many secrets, and I've offended so many people. Who knows how many spies will be hidden among them? Would we dare to use the forces sent by the Heavenly Court? Besides, you know how the phantom market is treated. Who would be willing to work hard? Didn't we create Virtue Assembly Hall to avoid this as much as possible? "
Yun Zhiqiu pondered for a moment. "Has Milord asked Yang Qing if he has any good ideas regarding Virtue Assembly Hall?"
Miao Yi chuckled. "Virtue Assembly Hall has made a huge announcement. The Dominator has eyes and ears in the phantom market, so Yang Qing must have heard about it. He would have told me if he had any ideas."
Yun Zhiqiu shook his head. "Niu Er, you can't say that. Yang Qing knows why Milord suppressed him back then. He's a smart man. He knows full well that it was because he was too conspicuous! Milord had given Purgatory the responsibility of ruling the Six Paths out of trust, but unless it was urgent, he wouldn't have interfered. Of course, with Milord treating him so well, it would be a different matter if he humbly asked for advice. He would be disloyal to Milord if he kept hiding his abilities. Besides, Weiwei was in the middle. At the very least, he's looking forward to Milord's well-being. Don't you think so? "
Miao Yi smiled bitterly. "You mean I should ask him if he has any ideas now?"
Yun Zhiqiu grabbed his hand and said seriously, "Whether or not there are ideas is another matter. If there's something you like, just accept it. If there's something you don't like, just ignore it. You won't lose anything anyway. "
"Come, come, don't be so serious. I'll just listen to Madam. "Miao Yi shook his head helplessly. He immediately took out the Star Bell and contacted Yang Qing.
Now that his relationship with Yang Qing was pretty good, Miao Yi had nothing to hide. After contacting Yang Qing, he immediately asked, "I believe you must have heard about what happened at Juxian Hall."
At that moment, Yang Qing was accompanying Jin Man for a drink. More accurately, Jin Man had personally cooked up a few dishes. She also obtained a few jugs of good wine from the cultivators from the minor world. She also built a unique pavilion on the island, giving it a unique view. Listening to the waves, watching the blue sea and blue sky. Bathing in the gentle sea breeze, drinking and chatting, it was truly leisurely and elegant.
Halfway through his meal, Yang Qing's spirits were lifted. Miao Yi's Starbell had sent him a message.
After chatting with Yang Zhaoqing, he learned that Miao Yi had gone into closed-door cultivation. He knew that Yang Zhaoqing would pass on his words to Yun Zhiqiu, because Yang Zhaoqing and Yan Xiu were undoubtedly loyal to that couple. They wouldn't hide these things from them, so he had been waiting for news. After waiting for a few days, it finally came.
"It's a message from the Sage King." Yang Qing put down his wine cup and took out the Star Bell. He stood up and leaned against the railing with his back facing Miao Yi.
This message really came at the right time. Not a moment too soon, not a moment too late! Jin Man looked at the table of dishes that she had spent so much effort to prepare. She felt like her mood had been ruined. She casually tossed her chopsticks onto the table. She raised her cup and drank alone, a displeased look on her face.
After hearing Miao Yi's question, Yang Qing replied, "I heard about it."
Miao Yi: "What do you think of my plans for Juxian Hall?"
Yang Qing: "It's a good idea, but I'm afraid it won't be effective in a short period of time. And if the Kou Clan's forces stay in the headquarters for too long, I'm afraid they won't be able to answer to the other clans. They haven't left yet. This was because the Kou Family still cared about face, but it couldn't last for long. Once the troops were withdrawn, the great one might be stretched thin.
Miao Yi: "That's right! It's a good thing to get rid of the Kou Clan's surveillance, but the following problem of manpower is giving me a headache. All these years in the Heavenly Court, not having my own people is a huge shortcoming. I'm afraid it'll be hard for me to leave the phantom city in a short period of time, so I want to take this opportunity to solve this problem. "
Yang Qing: "In other words, Milord wants to establish a group of trusted subordinates within the Heavenly Court's borders. It'll be convenient for you to act in the future."
Miao Yi: "That's right. There's no way to establish the Six Paths' forces for the time being. I can only think of a solution here. But since there's no one available for the time being, what can I do? Do you have any good ideas?"
Yang Qing: "I have some ideas, but I wonder what Milord's ambitions are? If your ambitions are to rule the world, it won't be difficult to solve this problem. "
This time, it was Miao Yi's turn to be excited. "So what if my ambitions are to rule the world?"
Seeing that Miao Yi had clearly revealed his ambitions, Yang Qing was both shocked and energized. Could it be that the surrendered kid from Transient Light Cave all those years ago was now going to embark on a difficult journey to compete with the heroes of the world? This ambition was both inspiring and inspiring. It made him suddenly feel that his life would not be wasted. In addition, the power he had in his hands wasn't completely useless. Suddenly, he felt that his future and direction were incomparably clear. He was extremely excited and wanted to drink three hundred cups of wine to celebrate.
Suddenly, he strode back, grabbed the wine gourd, and gulped it down. The bejeweled nectar splattered down the corner of his mouth, and he didn't care about his image in the slightest.
He gulped down the wine gourd, and casually tossed it into the sea. He raised his hand to wipe his wet beard, and his eyes shone brightly. The Star Bell in his hand shook anxiously: "If Milord's ambitions are to conquer the world, why do you look down on the heroes of the world?"
Jin Man, who was sitting with a cup of wine in her hand, suddenly saw Yang Qing reveal such a high-spirited and heroic side. Coupled with his slightly aged temperament, she couldn't help but be stunned.
Miao Yi: "Why do you say that? When have I ever looked down on the heroes of the world?"
Yang Qing: "Since Milord didn't look down on us, the world is vast, and there are countless heroes. As long as Milord is willing to recruit them, you can summon a hundred thousand mighty soldiers with a wave of your hand. Why would you worry about not having someone you can use?"
Miao Yi couldn't see Yang Qing's exuberance, but he could feel the rare heroism in Yang Qing's words. "Teacher, please teach me!"
Yang Qing: "Of course, I can consider the Assembly of Virtue Hall, but the results will be too slow. Moreover, it won't be justifiable. How can the Imperial Army be a motley crew? Even if we pull them together, they will only be a laughing stock. Therefore, it can only be used as a support, and not as a main force. It's the same logic as the Assembly of Heroes under the Heavenly Court. Therefore, it's better to accept a batch of troops from the Heavenly Court. This way, we can save on some basic salaries. Otherwise, the consumption of resources for an army of a hundred thousand will not be a small amount. "
Miao Yi: "That makes sense." It's just that there are few who are willing to come to the phantom market. There's no power, no money to be earned, and no future to look forward to. Even if they come, they'll probably be no different from those old foxes in the Head Commander's Manor. They'll just muddle through their days, and won't be easy to order around.
Yang Qing: "Not necessarily. There are still some ambitious people."
Miao Yi: "Even if the Heavenly Court is willing to allocate troops to me, I'm afraid they won't allocate any useful people."
Yang Qing: "Not necessarily. It depends on how Milord is going to collect them."
Miao Yi: "Even if they do come, I don't know how much sand has been mixed in. I don't know how many spies are in the mix. When the time comes, I'm afraid my every move will be under the surveillance of others. Right now, only the Kou family is being monitored. Next time, I don't know how many families will come."
Yang Qing: "Not necessarily. Even if we don't eliminate spies, we can basically avoid them."
The three consecutive 'not necessarily' surprised Miao Yi. He knew that Yang Qing wasn't the kind of person to boast. Since he said it, there must be a reason behind it. Miao Yi hurriedly asked, "Is it possible?"
Yang Qing: "Why not? Within the Heavenly Court, there are countless cultivators with decent cultivation, but they're depressed. Those whose cultivation has reached the Golden Lotus or Rainbow Lotus, but they're ostracized to become Mountain Gods, River Gods, and Door Gods. Haven't you heard of them, Milord? After these people join the Heavenly Court, they have no background, and they don't know how to conduct themselves. So basically, they won't be able to make a name for themselves. Even if these people aren't completely useful, there's no lack of ambitious people among them. How could these people possibly be spies for others? The Heavenly Court has long since sent people to help Milord clean them up, waiting for Milord to pick them up. How could Milord miss out on the Heavenly Court's good intentions? It's not like they have no power, no influence, no profit to be made, and no future to look forward to. It's no different from coming to the phantom market. If they gather together and follow Milord, at least they'll see a glimmer of hope. Reputation can be a burden at times, but it can also be a help at other times. It all depends on how Milord uses it. As long as they're ambitious, how can they ignore Milord's reputation as a warrior on the battlefield? Once Milord calls out to them, they'll naturally rush forward to serve him!
In that instant, Miao Yi's blood rushed to his head. He immediately jumped down from his cross-legged position on the bed, and anxiously paced back and forth. 'That's right, why didn't I think of these people?'
Yun Zhiqiu was taken aback. He didn't know what was up with this guy, but seeing his anxious and excited expression, he immediately guessed that Yang Qing must have come up with some good idea. He couldn't help but shake his head and smile.
After his excitement, Miao Yi calmed down and asked, "There's a hundred thousand of them?"
Yang Qing: "Don't even mention a hundred thousand. There are plenty of people like this at the bottom. Even a million won't be a problem. Of course, it's not realistic for Milord to ask for too much. Otherwise, it'll backfire and you'll end up with nothing. Not to mention, you can't just accept everyone. You have to choose carefully. However, it's easy to choose these kinds of people. For example, how many years they've been a Mountain God? It'll be easy to find out, and it won't be easy to impersonate them. The Dominator of the Six Paths is still capable of this. That's why I don't want a million. I just want the most suitable person. A hundred thousand is just right! "
Miao Yi: "There are only a thousand people in the phantom market's headquarters. How can the Heavenly Court give me a hundred thousand people?"
Yang Qing: "As long as Milord really wants it, this subordinate will be able to help Milord with a little trick. It all depends on whether Milord has the guts to take it!"
Miao Yi: "How can I not have the guts? I'm all ears to Mister's brilliant plan!"
Yang Qing: "It's simple. Milord doesn't have to risk his life for it. As long as Milord does it …"
After the two of them ended their communication, Miao Yi held the starbell in his hand for a long time without saying a word. In the end, he let out a long sigh, shaking his head and smiling bitterly.
Yun Zhiqiu saw him sighing with excitement and disappointment. She couldn't help but walk over and ask, "What's wrong?"
"Yang Qing offered me a brilliant plan …" Miao Yi briefly explained to her what Yang Qing had said.
