After three days, there was no response from Dongfang Lie in the Ghost City's main garrison office. There was no response from the Heavenly Palace either. Miao Yi, who held a hundred thousand empty slots, formally summoned Qingyue and Long Xin. This time, they didn't meet in the guest room, but in the room where Miao Yi dealt with official business.
Walking in and seeing Miao Yi sitting behind the long table, the two had already vaguely guessed something. When they thought of officially breaking away from the shadow of a certain person, officially breaking away from the place where they had been trapped for so many years, although they weren't very excited, they were still extremely conflicted.
The two of them politely cupped their hands, and Qingyue asked, "Are we leaving or joining?"
Miao Yi, "I still have the same question. Why do you want to join the Ghost City's main garrison office?"
The two of them looked at each other, knowing that this was practically the last round of the interview. But how were they supposed to explain this? In the end, it was Long Xin who slowly said, "We want a chance to make a comeback!"
"Make a comeback?" Miao Yi said indifferently, "Do you think the Ghost City's main garrison office will give you this chance?"
Long Xin, "I'm not sure."
Miao Yi looked at Qingyue, "What about you?"
Qingyue, "About the same as him."
Miao Yi, "Back then, the two of you were considered to have high positions. I want to know why the two of you were demoted to Mountain Deity and Earth Deity. You first! "He pointed at Qingyue.
Qingyue, "The two of us came to join. Did Sir not inquire about our origins at all?"
Miao Yi, "I more or less heard of it, but I don't know the main reason."
Qingyue gave a self-deprecating laugh, but didn't put on an act. She explained the cause and effect on the spot.
The reason was actually very simple. In the early days, the Heavenly Court wasn't in its current state. It hadn't been long since the Six Paths were eliminated, and the situation was more chaotic than it was now. The troops under the Four Heavenly Kings were also gathered from all over the place. Whoever had more troops and strength would naturally want to gain more benefits. However, the world had just been conquered not long ago. It was easy for problems to arise if this chaos continued, and it was urgent to organize the troops under their command... Thus, each army set up a patrol, to patrol and organize. Qing Yue was Hao Defang's subordinate, the South Patrol Envoy in charge of this. She had killed many people back then. Hao Defang's housekeeper, Su Yun, was not a girl from an ordinary family. Her family's power was equivalent to a marquis in the Heavenly Court. During the Battle for Supremacy, Su Yun tried to persuade the Su family to help Hao Defang, and the Su family had indeed made great contributions. But after the world was conquered, the Su Family took advantage of Hao Defang's fondness for Su Yun and seized the opportunity to expand their power. Everyone knew that taking advantage of the situation before it was stable was advantageous. Once the situation stabilized, it was impossible to mess around again. Qingyue had already warned the Su Family time and time again, but the Su Family had completely ignored her warnings. If the Su Family didn't stop, it would give the other powers a chance to speak. Why could the Su Family do this but not us? In a fit of anger, Qingyue set up a trap and led the army to massacre the Su Residence, wiping out the entire Su Family. Not a single chicken or dog was spared. But because of this, Qingyue angered Hao Defang. She was accused of using Hao Defang's name in her scheme, which was a fake decree. She was immediately demoted to a Mountain Deity.
Miao Yi secretly sighed when he heard this, and asked, "I heard that Su Yun wasn't the housekeeper of the Hao Residence back then. Did you let her off intentionally?"
Qingyue said, "I never thought of letting her off. Even though Su Yun wasn't the housekeeper of the Hao Residence back then, she was already kept by Hao Defang's side. And the Su Family was also behind this. The Su Family wanted to help Su Yun and Hao Defang get together. Once Su Yun became the Princess Consort, the benefits to the Su Family were obvious, so the Su Family was happy to see it happen. This allowed Su Yun to avoid a calamity. It can be said that if the Su Family hadn't been destroyed back then, their current status would be no small matter, and Su Yun wouldn't have been able to resist the Su Family's push. I'm afraid the relationship between Su Yun and Hao Defang wouldn't be like it is now, and she would probably have become the Princess Consort long ago. And not some bullsh * t housekeeper. "
Miao Yi raised his eyebrows. So the twisted relationship between Hao Defang and Su Yun was all this person's doing. Wouldn't he be hated for offending such a person? But then he asked curiously, "With Su Yun's influence, why didn't she kill you for revenge and let you live until now?"
Qingyue sneered, "I'm afraid it's not that she didn't want to kill me, but that she wouldn't be able to answer to her subordinates if she did. After the Su Family was destroyed, it was a great deterrent to the troops under Hao Defang's command, and it also greatly reduced Hao Defang's subsequent reorganization of the troops. At that time, I thought I had made a great contribution, so I didn't mind Hao Defang demoting me to a Mountain Deity. I thought Hao Defang would use me again sooner or later, so I kept waiting. Even when the world had forgotten about my existence, Hao Defang still didn't do anything. Only when I was disheartened did I realize how naive I was back then. I also understood that to Hao Defang, no matter how great my contribution was, it wasn't as important as Su Yun to him. And I had nowhere else to go. As long as Hao Defang still existed, the Southern Army would never let me go. I couldn't bear the consequences of running away without permission. I've waited for so many years, and finally found a chance to escape … This is why I came to seek refuge in the Ghost City's Main Town Office. Does Main Town Niu still have any doubts? "
Miao Yi didn't comment, and looked at Long Xin, "What about you?"
Long Xin couldn't help but laugh at himself, "She did it because of a woman, and I also did it because of a woman …" He explained his situation in detail.
Back then, he was a Marquis in the imperial court. One day, someone told him that a rare beauty had appeared in his territory, and wanted to offer her to him. Who knew that Zhou Zhao's son, Zhou Aolin, would find out about this news from somewhere? Zhou Aolin asked someone to pass on the message, hoping that he would part with her. At first, he didn't think much of it, but when the beauty was delivered to him, he realized that she was truly a rare beauty. He was extremely fond of her, so he ignored Zhou Aolin and took her in as his concubine. However, the good times didn't last long. One day, when his concubine was traveling, she was suddenly kidnapped. The guards who luckily escaped the ordeal recognized that Zhou Aolin's personal guards were among the kidnappers. Long Xin was furious. Some things could be tolerated, but how could he tolerate his own woman being kidnapped? He went to the Zhou Manor to seek justice. At that time, Zhou Zhao was still not a Marshal, but a Star Sovereign, and also Long Xin's superior. Who knew that Zhou Aolin would deny it, and wouldn't admit to doing it. At that time, Zhou Zhao's expression was very ugly. What made Long Xin even angrier was that after this incident, he couldn't contact the concubine at all. He didn't know if she was still alive, and most likely she had been silenced. After that, some of his colleagues secretly advised him to stop making a fuss, saying that Zhou Zhao would never admit to such a thing. Otherwise, wouldn't it be terrible if the news of his son kidnapping his subordinate's woman was confirmed? At that time, how would Zhou Zhao face his subordinates? But as a man, how could he endure such humiliation? If he really did, wouldn't he forever be criticized behind his back? As such, the result was obvious. All kinds of troubles came one after another, constantly pressuring him. They wanted to force him to admit his mistakes, but he wasn't demoted like Qing Yue. He was first demoted from a Marquis to a Lieutenant, then to a Commander-In-Chief, then to a Commander-In-Chief. Until thirty thousand years ago, when he was demoted to a Commander-In-Chief.
After hearing the whole story, Miao Yi secretly muttered in his heart, 'If I accept this guy, I'll have to offend another Marshal.
But then again, he also knew that if the two of them didn't have such an encounter, they wouldn't have come under his command even if they were beaten to death.
After thinking for a while, Miao Yi said, "I said three days ago that after I accept you, you have to start from your current rank."
Qing Yue said, "Our memory isn't that bad. Of course we remember. "
Miao Yi took out two jade archives of appointment and spread them out on the table one by one. He said indifferently, "If I accept the two of you, your ranks are currently the lowest in the Ghost City's Commander-In-Chief. I can't let someone with a higher rank guard the entrance. Are you willing to go guard the entrance of the Commander-In-Chief?"
"…" Qing Yue and Long Xin were completely speechless. Their expressions twitched, 'Guard the entrance? You want the two of us to guard the entrance? Only you can say that. '
Miao Yi stroked the jade archives of appointment and slowly looked at the two of them, not saying a word. He just watched and waited.
Finally, Qing Yue said resentfully, "Fine! As long as you're not afraid of being hated, I don't have any objections. "
Miao Yi took one of the jade archives of appointment and invoked his arts to write. After he finished writing, he imprinted his transcendence seal and threw it to Qing Yue. "From today onwards, you are a member of my Ghost City's Commander-In-Chief."
There was no hesitation, it was done cleanly.
After Qing Yue received the jade archives and checked them, she gradually revealed a mixed expression of joy and sorrow. No one could tell what she was feeling.
Long Xin looked at the things in Qing Yue's hands and finally gritted his teeth, "Fine!"
Miao Yi didn't say anything else. He wrote another jade archive and threw it to him. He put both hands on the table and looked at the two of them. He didn't say a word and just waited there.
The two of them, who had calmed down, still felt like they were dreaming. After being trapped for so many years, had they really escaped? Although they came with expectations, they didn't think Miao Yi would dare to accept them. They especially didn't expect Miao Yi to make a decision so quickly.
After a long time, they saw Miao Yi holding a cup of tea and slowly drinking it. He didn't give them any orders, nor did he chase them away.
Gradually, the two of them understood something. They looked at each other and finally cupped their fists and bowed, "Your subordinates greet the Commander-In-Chief!"
Miao Yi finally put down the teacup in his hand, "Take them to the main entrance of the Commander-In-Chief."
"..." Yang Zhaoqing, who had been standing at the side, was a little dumbfounded. He looked at Miao Yi in disbelief. Was he really going to let these two guard the main entrance? Wasn't this joke a little too much? He looked at Miao Yi inquisitively.
Miao Yi tilted his head and looked at him, "What? You want to help them guard the main entrance? "
"..." Yang Zhaoqing was speechless. He could only cup his fists and accept the order. He extended his hand and invited the two of them to follow him.
When Miao Yi was alone in the room, he let out a long sigh and slowly closed his eyes.
Not long after, Yun Zhiqiu heard the news and rushed in. He almost lost his voice as he said, "I heard from Zhaoqing that you want Qing Yue and Long Xin to guard the main entrance of the Commander-In-Chief?"
"Zhaoqing can't control his mouth." Miao Yi opened his eyes and smiled, "They are the lowest ranked here. If they don't go, who will?"
Yun Zhiqiu rolled his eyes, "Don't give me that. There are people from the Imperial Guard standing guard. Do we still need them to guard the main entrance?"
"The Imperial Guard is the Imperial Guard, and the Commander-In-Chief is the Commander-In-Chief. If the Commander-In-Chief doesn't even have some decorations, where is the propriety?" Miao Yi stood up and walked around the long table. He grabbed Yun Zhiqiu's soft hand and gently patted it, "Even those in the Vision Divine Realm have to obediently guard the main entrance. We have to let those who come later know that they don't have the qualifications to put on airs here. This will definitely save us a lot of trouble in the future. It's a pity that we don't use such good guards. Madam, I may not be as good as you in terms of management, but I know more about managing an army than you do. I know what I'm doing. "
