This was something Yun Zhiqiu agreed with. Miao Yi had started out as a lowly soldier, then became a Cave Master with only ten subordinates, all the way to his current position. It could be said that he had climbed up one step at a time. Having commanded the army for so many years, he had taken the initiative to lead the troops into battle. Naturally, his experience in commanding troops was better than hers. Although she had been an Overlord before, that was a direct promotion. She had no actual experience in commanding troops. She placed more emphasis on using people.
Seeing that Miao Yi's words made sense, Yun Zhiqiu sighed softly. "But won't they think you're humiliating them by doing this?"
Miao Yi had a different opinion. "They've already become Mountain Deities and Earth Deities. If they still care about their pride, then there's no saving them. If they can't even get past this hurdle and can't even put down their pride, then do I have to listen to them in the future? How am I supposed to order them around? It's easier to order them around since they've just arrived. I'll let them get used to it first. They've even done this before. It's much better to order them around in the future than to watch the gate. They won't feel embarrassed then, and will naturally obey. Besides, I'm only letting them watch the gate for now. I can just replace them when the others arrive. I can't possibly let them watch the gate forever. Even the two of them have watched the gate before. If I let the Cailian cultivators watch the gate in the future, those people will be more at ease and won't complain. "
Yun Zhiqiu could tell that Miao Yi was ambitious and didn't intend to recruit cultivators below the Cailian rank. However, she had to admit that Miao Yi already had his own experience in commanding troops. It was indeed not something she could compare to. Since he already had a grasp of the situation, she didn't dwell on it any longer. Instead, she couldn't help but roll her eyes and tease, "Niu Er, I heard that when you were the Cave Master of East Arrival Cave, you also had to watch the gate as soon as you took over. It seems like you really like to play this game."
"Uh..." Miao Yi was taken aback. He couldn't help but recall the past.
The queue to enter the governor's manor didn't decrease at all. Inside the courtyard, Yang Zhaoqing led Bluemoon and Long Xin in. Bluemoon had changed into her black armor while Long Xin had changed into his three silver armor segments. The two of them wore tense expressions. Even though they had agreed, they naturally couldn't bring themselves to be happy about it.
After Yang Zhaoqing communicated with the guard in charge of guarding the gate, he led them to the gate and invited them to take up their posts.
Bluemoon and Draco remained silent. Each of them held a halberd and stood on the left and right side of the door.
The guards who were also guarding the door looked at each other, a little dumbfounded. Each of them muttered in their hearts, "Is this for real?" Don't scare me, Vision Domain coming to guard the door? If it was the gate of the Heavenly Palace, it would make sense, but this was a small headquarters!
The people lining up to enter the main town's palace saw the conspicuous black armour and silver armour at the door and couldn't help taking a few more curious looks. It was fine if they didn't look, but once they did, they were shocked. Oh my god, were these two Vision Domain experts guarding the door?
All the people passing through the gate couldn't help but stare at the two of them in shock.
Bluemoon and Long Xin were both furious and humiliated. They wanted to curse, "What are you looking at?" But since he had already promised Niu Youde. Furthermore, they had already received their orders. It would be inexcusable for Niu Youde to shirk his responsibilities. How could Niu Youde believe that he could command the two of them in the future?
The two of them could see that this was a test for them, it was impossible for them to keep guarding the door. After thinking it through, they could only endure it, allowing the curious gazes to admire them. This was the first time they had experienced this in their lives!
Of course, to those people who came to apply, they could also see it. The black armour and silver armour were most likely people who had successfully applied. Damn, even a Vision Domain expert was guarding the door, could they succeed?
"What? Bluemoon and Long Xin are guarding the door? "Dongfang Lie who was sitting cross-legged on the couch heard the report. He was so shocked that he jumped off the couch.
The subordinate that came to report nodded with a bitter smile, "I went to take a look, it is indeed the two of them."
Dongfang Lie didn't say anything else as he hurried out of the room and went straight to the courtyard where people were coming and going. He quickly came to the door and looked. Wow, it really was the two of them.
Even though he saw it with his own eyes, Dongfang Lie still found it hard to believe. He naturally knew what kind of people these two were. One dared to exterminate the family of Heavenly King Hao's beloved woman and the other didn't dare to lower his head and go against his superior. With these two's tempers, they were actually standing here guarding the door. It was truly unprecedented. If they could even endure this, then why did they do it in the first place?
Dongfang Lie felt that Miao Yi had gone a bit too far. He went up to the two of them and said, "The two of you, is this what Chief Commander Niu wants?"
The two of them glanced at him and Bluemoon said, "Do you think the two of us have nothing better to do?"
Dongfang Lie said, "Please wait a moment, I will go and find Chief Commander Niu to speak to the two of you." From his point of view, this was simply Niu Youde humiliating a Vision Domain cultivator. No matter how bad a Vision Domain cultivator was, it shouldn't be like this. He felt a little sad and indignation towards Niu Youde emerged in his heart.
"What does it have to do with you! Go as far as you can. " Bluemoon unceremoniously spat out. This gatekeeper was too outrageous. He actually dared to speak to the Vice Governor of the Imperial Guard Army like this.
"A cat crying crocodile tears!" Long Xin also said unhappily.
"…" Dongfang Lie was speechless. Damn it, I had good intentions and now I'm being a busybody. Fine, since you like it, then you can continue standing there. You don't know how to appreciate my kindness. Anyway, I'm not the one being embarrassed. He cupped his hands and left with a flick of his sleeve.
"What? Bluemoon, Long Xin? The Bluemoon that exterminated Su Yun's family and the Long Xin that fought with Zhou Zhao? "
In the Loyalty Pavilion, Cao Man who was sitting cross-legged in the room also jumped down from the couch and asked Qijue who came to report.
Qijue nodded and said, "This old servant didn't believe it when he heard the report and personally went to verify it. Yes, it is indeed the two of them. They should have already pledged their allegiance to the Chief Commander Manor. Otherwise, they wouldn't be standing at the entrance of the Chief Commander Manor to guard the door."
Cao Man said with a shocked expression, "Are you sure they are guarding the door for the Phantom City Chief Commander Manor? Didn't they just pass by? "
Qijue sighed. "Boss, didn't they just pass by? They are holding their halberds and standing at the side of the door. They must be guarding the door."
Cao Man walked to the window and opened it to look in the direction of the Chief Commander Manor. "Niu Youde, you're ruthless. How dare you!" No, he quickly turned around and left. He had to go take a look at the scene. The key was that he couldn't help but go take a look. What if there was something fishy going on?
Zhan Ping Manor. The newly built garden was decorated with exotic flowers and sceneries collected from all over the world. The Marquis Manor didn't have to spend a single cent to build this garden. It was all secretly arranged by the Chief Steward of the Heavenly Palace, Shangguan Qing.
At this time, Qing Zhu and Zhan Ruyi were wandering together in the garden that looked like a fairyland. The former had a rare relaxed and timid expression, while the latter was indifferent as usual.
A fairy walked over quickly and reported, "Your Majesty, the Chief Steward requests an audience."
Qing Zhu's face darkened, and he scolded, "Old bastard!" He gritted his teeth a little. Didn't he know that he was here to relax? He clearly knew, but he still came to spoil his mood. However, he also knew that Shangguan Qing wouldn't disturb him unless there was something special. "Ask him to come over."
"Yes!" Fairy half-squatted and retreated. Seeing him angry, she was a little scared.
"Your Majesty, I will take my leave." Zhan Ruyi also bowed and left. She also knew that Shangguan Qing wouldn't disturb them under normal circumstances. There must be something. She understood the rules and should leave. She didn't have the mood to accompany him, so she could take the opportunity to leave.
"Hey!" Unexpectedly, Qing Zhu reached out and grabbed her arm, not letting her go. He said with a faint smile, "Beloved, there's no need to leave." He also knew that Shangguan Qing wasn't a fool. If there really was something secretive, he wouldn't say it in public. He would tell her through telepathy.
Zhan Ruyi glanced at her arm that was grabbed. She remained silent and stayed by his side.
Soon, Shangguan Qing arrived under Fairy's lead. Seeing the two together and the way Qing Zhu was looking at him, he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. He braced himself and bowed, "Your Majesty, Heavenly Consort."
Qing Zhu said in an unfriendly tone, "What's the matter?"
Shangguan Qing looked at Zhan Ruyi and pondered if he should say it in public. Then, he smiled and said, "Your Majesty, there's something happening at the ghost market's main residence again …" He told him about Bluemoon and Long Xin guarding the door.
When it came to Miao Yi, Zhan Ruyi couldn't help but show a look of concentration.
"…" Qing Zhu was stunned for a while, and said in surprise, "Are you sure that Bluemoon and Long Xin are guarding the door?"
Shangguan Qing smiled bitterly, "Yes, I've confirmed it from several sources. Bluemoon and Long Xin are indeed guarding the door. Dongfang Lie confirmed that Niu Youde ordered them to guard the door. When Dongfang Lie asked for the reason, Niu Youde said that there was no one available at the ghost market's main residence at the moment. The two of them have the lowest rank. Apart from them, there's no one else to guard the door."
"The lowest rank?" Qing Zhu's expression twitched. He found that this reason really made him speechless. He couldn't help but laugh, "Heh! That monkey is quite bold. He made a former Marquis and a former South Patrol Inspector guard the door of a mere main residence. " He tilted his head to look at Zhan Ruyi, "My dear, your former superior is quite arrogant. It seems that it wasn't too bad for you to be hung on the flagpole by him back then!"
Seeing that Qing Zhu was in a good mood and joking, Shangguan Qing laughed along. However, when he saw Zhan Ruyi's indifferent expression and didn't seem to find it funny at all, he quickly stopped laughing. He didn't want to make this female master unhappy and put himself in a difficult position. After all, this was an embarrassing matter of the past. Qing Zhu could joke about it, but he couldn't laugh at it.
To be honest, Shangguan Qing was in charge of the affairs of the Heavenly Palace. He was only polite to the Empress Xiahou Chengyu on the surface. He wasn't afraid of her. If there was a woman in the harem that he was afraid of, it would be the one in front of him. If Xiahou Chengyu said a bad word about him, Qing Zhu might not take it seriously. However, if this person said a bad word about him, he would definitely not be able to bear the consequences. Qing Zhu would definitely kick him. For Qing Zhu, other women were just playthings to vent his lust. More importantly, he needed to control the world. Although Qing Zhu also had these needs for the Heavenly Concubine, Shangguan Qing could see that Qing Zhu really liked this woman from the bottom of his heart. Just based on this point, Shangguan Qing was very clear that he couldn't afford to offend this woman.
Seeing Qing Zhu laughing happily, Zhan Ruyi glanced at him indifferently.
However, when Qing Zhu was glanced at by this cold gaze, his laughter stopped abruptly. He couldn't laugh anymore. Instead, he rubbed his nose awkwardly.
