PS.
Here's today's update, and at the same time, I'm trying to get votes for Qidian's 515 Fan Festival. Everyone has eight votes, and you'll even get some coins for voting. I beg for everyone's support and appreciation!
That's right! Who could it be? After ending his communication with Yang Qing, Miao Yi was also thinking about this problem. He couldn't think of a reason, so he stopped thinking about it. He still had many things to deal with, so he didn't have time to spend energy on this.
He had to fight for the overall upgrade that Long Xin mentioned. He also had to solve the problem of choosing a location for the Manor. He also had to solve the problem of where the hundred thousand troops would settle down and how to distribute their forces. Since it had already become the Netherworld's Main Town, it was impossible to continue holing up in Dangyin Mountain.
A travel-worn person appeared outside the Main Town Manor. He walked to the door and pulled off his mask. It was none other than Xu Tangran.
The new guard didn't recognize him, so he stopped him. Xu Tangran, who handed over his official jade archive, was very angry. He emphasized to the guard very seriously, "I am the Deputy Town Manor's Main Town Manor, Xu Tangran!"
The guard had heard of this name before. He knew that he was a trusted subordinate of the Lord Lieutenant, but he didn't recognize him. Even though he had obtained the official jade archive that proved Xu Tangran's identity, he still didn't let him in easily. He needed to verify it again.
It wasn't that the guard didn't respect Xu Tangran. Of course, it was also that he didn't respect him at all.
In the entire Ghost City's Main Town Manor, this group of newcomers, other than Niu Youde, might not be in their eyes. That kind of arrogance didn't come from their status, but from their own cultivation strength. And Miao Yi's safety, at least for now, had already formed a consensus among the hundred thousand troops. It was the most important thing to ensure. Betraying the Fourth Army and defecting to this side required a lot of determination and courage. Once something happened to Miao Yi, it was very likely that the higher-ups would send someone else to take over this group of troops. Who knew which force they belonged to? The fear of retribution from betraying the Fourth Army had always weighed heavily on their hearts. The Fourth Army's influence was truly too great. If they weren't careful, they could make them pay a painful price for their actions. So to them, nothing must happen to Miao Yi. At least for now, nothing must happen to him. The storm of betrayal hadn't passed yet. None of them had gained a firm foothold yet, so they wouldn't easily allow outsiders to get close to or threaten Miao Yi's safety.
Fortunately, Xue Linglong, who had learned in advance that her husband was coming back, was already pacing back and forth in the courtyard, waiting for him. When she heard the noise outside, she hurriedly lifted her skirt and quickly walked to the door. When she saw the situation, she quickly resolved it. It wasn't that the guard didn't trust Xue Linglong. It was not until Yang Zhaoqing had spoken that Xu Tangran was let in.
After Xu Tangran entered with a tired expression on his face, his heart was very worried. He had only left for two or three years, yet he, the grand Ghost City's Deputy Town Head, couldn't even enter the Town Head's Mansion's entrance. Looking at the reaction of these guards, it seemed that they didn't put him in their eyes. The thing that he was worried about finally happened.
Seeing his tired face, Xue Linglong, who was accompanying him, said, "Sir, you look tired. Why don't you take a bath and change your clothes first?"
"There's no need. I'll go see the Town Head … see Lord Lieutenant first. If I wash myself clean, I won't look like I've done a good job. "Xu Tangran sped up after saying that. His mind wasn't on Xue Linglong at all.
He couldn't help it. He was anxious in his heart. Xue Linglong was his eyes here. Xue Linglong would report everything that happened here to him at all times. After the two Prominent Domain experts that shocked the world came to seek refuge with Miao Yi, he was a little anxious. Two Prominent Domain experts, ah. Wouldn't his position in the Town Head be in danger? He really wanted to come back and hug Miao Yi's thigh. However, he couldn't come back if he didn't finish the matter at hand. If he didn't finish anything, how could he report back empty-handed? He was afraid that he would leave an even worse impression on Sir! Later on, when he found out that the hundred thousand troops were almost fully recruited, he became even more anxious. After the Town Head's Mansion was promoted to Commander-In-Chief's Mansion. What position would he be in? Would Sir arrange him in this way? It wasn't easy for him to climb to where he was today for so many years. He had always followed Sir's footsteps. If he suddenly fell apart, and Sir had other experts by his side, then once he fell behind, it might become the turning point of his fate. The turning point of stopping or going downhill!
Thus, he threw caution to the wind. He was simply unscrupulous. He used all the resources that he had saved up over the years. The money he spent was like flowing water. The wealth that he had saved up over the years was basically emptied in an instant. As long as he could reach his goal, he didn't care anymore. Fortunately, his hard work paid off. The recruitment of the Assembly of Worthies Hall finally produced some results. He finally got some results that he could take out. Only then did he temporarily get away and quickly run back.
Who would have thought that on the way, he would receive a message from Xue Linglong, saying that the Imperial Guards had already withdrawn. The Netherworld had been directly allocated by the Heavenly Court as a territory directly under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Valley Palace. The Town Head's Mansion skipped a rank and was directly promoted to Lord Lieutenant, becoming the official Domain Chief of the Netherworld. It could be said that everyone in the Ghost City Head's Mansion was celebrating.
But how long had it been? Not only had he found a way out, but he had also turned the situation around and become a Duke. Who could compare with him in terms of ability and ability? His Excellency had even gone all the way to the imperial court for acting and making a bet. He was truly capable and capable. At the very least, Xu Tangran really didn't have this ability. It was simply too awesome!
After this incident, he was completely convinced by Miao Yi. He was sincerely convinced and admired him to the point of prostrating himself on all fours. He could even accomplish something like this. What else could Sir not do?
But it was precisely because of this that he was even more worried about himself. Sir lacked people under him, so he let him set up the Assembly of Worthies Hall to recruit people. After a long time, he still couldn't find a single person. In the end, after so long, there was only a slight improvement. Sir seemed to be a little impatient and personally went into action. In a short period of time, not only did he recruit a hundred thousand elite troops, he even took the opportunity to be promoted. How could he endure this?
Especially when he heard that there wasn't a single person with a cultivation below Rainbow Lotus Third Grade in this hundred thousand elite troops, Xu Tangran completely panicked. This time, there were simply too many capable people under Sir's command. Compared to them, he was just a piece of trash. Would he even get a good position?
He was very clear where his advantage lay. He had a high grade, and was the highest grade here. Furthermore, he had followed Sir for so many years. Even if he didn't contribute much, he still put in a lot of effort. Perhaps Sir would not mistreat him on account of their past relationship. But after leaving for so long, and not being by Sir's side for so long, there were some things that no one could say for sure. All sorts of situations could happen. Once all the positions were settled, then there was really no chance for him. He could only hurry and remind Sir that he, Xu Tangran, still hadn't made the proper arrangements before the positions were settled.
After receiving Xue Linglong's message, Xu Tangran simply rushed back with all his might for the rest of the journey. His heart was burning with anxiety, afraid that he would miss the final crucial moment. He was worried that a single slip would cause everlasting regret to befall him.
Under such circumstances, how could he listen to Xue Linglong and go back to take a bath? He had to meet with Sir Lieutenant as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, he was stopped by a guard at the entrance inside. Fortunately, Yang Zhaoqing just happened to show up.
Xu Tangran hurriedly waved his hand and shouted, "Brother Yang, is Sir here?"
Yang Zhaoqing had only come out after hearing that Xu Tangran had returned. He waved his hand, signaling the guard to let him pass.
"Sir is currently discussing something with Madam. It's nothing important … Why don't you go back and take a bath before coming back?" Yang Zhaoqing said as he looked at him.
'What are Sir and Madam discussing at this time? Are they discussing who to pick for the positions? ' Right now, Xu Tangran was easily thinking about what he was most concerned about. He was anxious and couldn't wait any longer. He hurriedly cupped his fists and said, "I have something important to report to Sir Lieutenant. The guards in the manor seem to be much stricter now. They don't even recognize me. Please lead the way, Brother Yang."
'Something important?' Yang Zhaoqing's expression turned solemn. This wasn't a good time to delay. He nodded and led Xu Tangran through the levels.
When Xue Linglong heard that Miao Yi was going to discuss something important with Sir Lieutenant, she felt that it wasn't appropriate for her to get involved in official business. She looked at her husband's back and sighed. After all, they had been husband and wife for so many years. Of course, she knew what her husband was most concerned about at this time.
"Sir, Lord Xu is back. He's asking for an audience outside."
Qian'Er came in from outside the door and reported to Miao Yi. Yun Zhiqiu, who was standing beside the table, turned to look at Miao Yi.
"Oh!" Miao Yi chuckled and nodded. "Let him in."
After Qian'Er went out to report, Yang Zhaoqing came in with Xu Tangran. When he saw Miao Yi sitting behind the table with a smile on his face, Xu Tangran's eyes immediately reddened. Tears welled up in his eyes as he quickly made his way to the table. Suddenly, he lowered his body and got down on one knee. He said with a slightly choked voice, "Sir, this subordinate has finally returned alive. I can finally see Sir Lieutenant again."
Xu Tangran's face was filled with fatigue, his eyes were red and glistening with tears. Not only that, but he was also kowtowing to Miao Yi, and that tone of voice. It was hard not to be moved.
Xu Tangran's overreaction stunned Yun Zhiqiu, while Yang Zhaoqing and Qian'Er exchanged glances.
Miao Yi subconsciously stood up as well. He couldn't help but feel a little moved as he looked at the kneeling man. However, when he thought about it again, why did this scene seem a little familiar? His lips couldn't help but twitch as he said, "Why do you have to be so courteous? If you have something to say, please stand up and tell me."
Xu Tangran slowly stood up and looked at Miao Yi with teary eyes. He said with a choked voice, "This subordinate couldn't help but feel emotional upon seeing Sir Lieutenant. In the past two years, this subordinate has gone through dozens of battles, big and small. There were many times when this subordinate thought that he wouldn't be able to return alive. Fortunately, I didn't die. Now that I can finally see Sir Lieutenant again, I really couldn't control my emotions."
'You've only been out for two to three years, and you've already gone through dozens of battles? Is this for real? It's not like you to go through so much trouble just to recruit someone! ' Miao Yi looked him up and down.
Xu Tangran raised his sleeve to wipe away his tears, then cupped his fists and said, "However, I was fortunate enough to not let you down. This subordinate has finally made some progress with the recruitment of the Assembly of Virtue Hall. That's why I dare to return and meet Sir Lieutenant."
Miao Yi asked, "How many people have you recruited?"
Xu Tangran said, "About three hundred thousand. This is the roster." He then presented a pile of jade archives with both hands.
"Three hundred thousand?" Miao Yi was shocked. Yun Zhiqiu and the others were also shocked. They thought they had misheard.
