From these words, it could be heard that even now, to Madam Wang, a mere Niu Youde was not as scary as the Empress. She was not afraid of Niu Youde, but the Empress. In her heart, the position of ruler was more important than her husband's military power. No wonder Niu Youde had the guts to threaten them, it was because the Empress was supporting him from behind!
Wang Zhuo was no longer in the mood to argue with his wife. It was not something that could be easily persuaded, especially between husband and wife. It was very difficult for one party to convince the other. He only said to his daughter, "I am not too sure what exactly happened, but you know the Empress's heart better than I do in the palace. That Niu Youde is capable of doing anything. It is better to be prepared than not to be prepared."
Framing the Emperor had become a shadow in Qin Fei's heart. She said in fear, "But your daughter cannot directly contact His Majesty!" This sentence directly exposed how much she was favored by the Sky Emperor. The vanity she held after returning home burst like a bubble. The number of women in the harem that could directly contact the Emperor could be counted on one hand. The Empress and the Heavenly Concubine could naturally contact each other, but under normal circumstances, no one knew what the Emperor was busy with, so no one dared to disturb them. They had to report to someone first.
The other situation was that the women in the palace usually looked for the Empress who was in charge of the harem. If she looked for the Empress now, it was a problem if the Empress would pass on the message for her. Not to mention, she didn't dare to look for the Empress.
Wang Zhuo found that his daughter had lost her sense of propriety. He turned his head and signaled outside, "Inform the people in the palace. If the news reaches the ears of the people in charge of the palace, it will naturally be heard by the heavens!"
Qin Fei immediately understood that her father was referring to the people sent by the palace to monitor her. It was just that she couldn't say it too clearly in front of her mother.
Qin Fei immediately nodded and ordered a maid to call over a general in red armor who was responsible for leading the guards. Normally, when a concubine left the palace, there would be someone responsible for protecting her, unlike the many experts in the palace.
The general's name was Mu Duo. When he heard that Niu Youde wanted to cause trouble, he was a bit speechless. Niu Youde was also a former guard and the two had met in the Imperial Garden. But he was very clear that if Niu Youde really wanted to make a move, it would be a great matter. He would not care about their friendship and would most likely kill him as well!
Mu Duo frowned and thought for a moment before nodding and leaving.
Wang Zhuo then ordered his wife and daughter to find a more remote courtyard to hide, at least not giving people a chance to go straight to the target, and to be prepared to retreat in case something happened.
The mother and daughter were frantically making preparations. The people of the Governor's Office were quickly making preparations, and the atmosphere in the entire Governor's Office was tense.
In the main hall of the Heavenly Weng Manor, Xiahou Ling was gathering the people from the various branches of the manor for a meeting.
Wei Shu, who had temporarily retreated, appeared in the back hall. He walked to Xia Houling's side and transmitted his voice, "Master, Niu Youde went to the Domain Gengzi Commander Manor!"
Xia Hou Ling's spirits immediately rose, and he apologized to everyone present before he stood up and went to the rear hall with Wei Shu.
Now that there was no one else watching, Xiahou Ling continued to ask via voice transmission, What's the situation? Did Niu Youde make a move?
Wei Shu replied, "He hasn't made a move yet. This old servant has verified the news from Fifth Master. The Governor's Office hasn't allowed Niu Youde to enter. On the surface, Niu Youde is leading Bluemoon and Yan Xiu, but the interior of the Governor's Office has become tense as though they're facing a great enemy. They're already mobilizing all forces to prepare. Ninth Master sent the news first, and he seems a bit unhappy. He wants to know what's going on and if the Empress isn't cooperating. If so, he wants us to stop them immediately! "
Xiahou Ling was startled. "Not allowed to enter? Only two people on the surface? Niu Youde is visiting openly? "
Wei Shu replied, "Yes, he's here to congratulate Gao Sheng."
Xiahou Ling asked curiously, "What is he trying to do? Are there any movements from the Netherworld Governor's Office? "
Wei Shu replied, "After receiving the news from Ninth Master, this old servant has already verified with Third Master. Third Master has already discovered signs of the Netherworld Army secretly mobilizing. It seems that many people have disappeared. Then, he verified with Sixth Master, and Sixth Master has given an exact number. Niu Youde has already secretly mobilized 80,000 troops to leave the Netherworld. On the surface, he only left a few people behind. The exact whereabouts are unknown."
"80,000 troops …" Wei Shu's expression twitched, and he seemed to be mumbling to himself, "This guy isn't going to use force, is he?"
Wei Shu replied, "I'm afraid Niu Youde won't have much of an advantage even if he uses force. No matter how good the Netherworld Army is at fighting, it's still the hinterland of the Eastern Army. The Eastern Army can gather a large number of people to encircle and suppress them at any time. I'm afraid there will be heavy casualties if they fight. I just don't know if Niu Youde will use the Dominator as a backup."
Wei Shu was silent. Since Ninth Master wanted to protect Wang Zhuo, he couldn't not give him face. He also wanted to get rid of Wang Zhuo and his family, so he wanted to borrow Niu Youde's hand. He knew Xiahou Chengyu's character better, and he knew that Xiahou Chengyu would definitely look for Niu Youde. Who would have thought that Niu Youde would play such a trick and actually visit openly, making him somewhat passive. Should he listen to Ninth Master and ask the Empress to stop Niu Youde?
After pondering for a while, he said, "Delay Ninth Master's side. Say that the Empress doesn't know anything and is still confirming the situation. Let's see what happens in Domain Geng first."
Wei Shu understood what he meant. He wanted to see if he could fight for a chance for Niu Youde to cook the rice. Wei Shu didn't express any opinion on this and nodded. "Yes!"
In King Ying Tian's Mansion, beside the scenery of a small bridge and flowing water, the father and son were playing chess and chatting. The purpose of the game was not to play chess, but to relax the atmosphere.
Zuo 'er came in a hurry. Ying Wuman glanced at him and knew that something had happened, but he didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing.
After Zuo 'er reported the situation, both father and son were startled at the same time.
Ying Jiuguang was stunned. "Niu Youde?"
Ying Wuman had a similar reaction. This Niu Youde had disappeared for a long time. Why did he suddenly jump out when there was a slight conflict? Was he going against the Ying Family?
Zuo 'er nodded. "Yes! The people we sent confirmed that it was Niu Youde. However, he only brought two people. One was Qing Yue and the other one they didn't see before. It should be Niu Youde's trusted aide called Yan Xiu. "
Ying Jiuguang frowned. This was out of his expectation. Of course, he knew the relationship between Niu Youde and the Heaven's Palace. However, logically, Niu Youde shouldn't be the one to make a move. Niu Youde's power was limited. It would be difficult for him to resolve this situation without causing a commotion. Killing the Celestial Emperor's concubine was a big deal. Only the Xiahou Family could control the commotion.
However, if someone said that Niu Youde was a fool, then what was going on during Heaven's Old Man's birthday? How did he get the position of Netherworld Domain Chief? Betraying Master Qing had already made Master Qing disgusted. Now, he even went to kill Master Qing's concubine. Did he really think that Master Qing wouldn't dare to kill him?
What was going on? Ying Jiuguang was a little confused. He said in a low voice, "It's impossible for a few people to make a move. Did his Netherworld Army make a move?"
Zuo 'er said, "I've already checked with the Phantom City. According to various signs, it seems that some people have really disappeared. It should be more than fifty thousand people. We don't know the exact number."
Ying Jiuguang threw down the chess piece and stood up. He couldn't sit still anymore. He really couldn't handle Niu Youde. He could judge others with common sense, but Niu Youde was always playing creative tricks. He even mobilized the army. If they really fought, he wasn't worried about how arrogant this small number of people could be in the hinterland of the Eastern Army. However, the problem was that the strength of the Netherworld Army wasn't weak. Moreover, that little thief was really good at commanding troops. If he really made the Eastern Army lose face, he, the great Heavenly King Ying, wouldn't be able to keep his face.
Ying Jiuguang ordered in a low voice, "Immediately order the relevant experts in the nearby area to rush over and suppress the situation. Order Huang Qing to immediately mobilize the army to Domain Geng and prepare for support. Once we make a move, don't let any of the Netherworld people go. Let them bring Niu Youde's head to see me!"
"Yes!" Zuo 'er quickly took out the Star Bell and passed the order.
Ying Jiuguang suddenly tilted his head and looked at Ying Wuman, "How confident is the new army in your hands against the Netherworld Army?"
Ying Jiuguang's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that he wanted to let the new army try? He hesitated and said, "I haven't seen the Netherworld Army make a move. It's hard to predict the outcome."
In the Heaven's Valley Palace, Xiahou Chengyu had already received Xiahou Ling's inquiry. Xiahou Ling's question was vague. He asked what was the situation of Niu Youde running to Domain Geng.
Xiahou Chengyu was ecstatic. Was Niu Youde going to help her vent her anger? But the reply was pretending to be confused, saying that he didn't know!
Xiahou Ling gave a simple reminder. He said that he had already received the news that Niu Youde had secretly mobilized eighty thousand Netherworld soldiers. He asked her to figure out the situation and not cause any trouble.
Niu Youde mobilized eighty thousand soldiers? At this moment, Xiahou Chengyu was pacing back and forth in the room. She looked calm on the surface, but her hands under her sleeves were clenched into fists excitedly. This was the first time she experienced the feeling of a huge army moving out with a command.
She didn't care about the situation. Stop it? Why should she stop it? When the time came, she would just say that she didn't know and think of a way to protect Niu Youde. What she was worried about now was whether Niu Youde could win.
If Niu Youde knew what she was thinking, he would probably have the heart to strangle her to death.
In the Starry Hall, Qing Zhu, who was handling official affairs, also received the news at the same time. He squinted his eyes and leaned back in his chair.
Shangguan Qing, who was at the side, turned around and reported after ending the communication with the Star Bell, "I have asked Sima Wentian. According to the scouts, Niu Youde has secretly mobilized eighty thousand Netherworld soldiers. Their whereabouts are unknown. As for Niu Youde, he is still blocked outside the Domain Geng Residence and hasn't been able to enter. However, the situation in the Domain Geng Residence is already very tense. Everyone is panicking. The various elite armies of the Domain Geng Residence are rushing over. Huang Qing has also hurriedly mobilized a large number of troops to support them. The eastern army has also dispatched an unknown number of experts. This is the current situation. "
"Openly running over to congratulate him? What the hell is going on? Hehe! "Qing Zhu suddenly laughed and opened his eyes." Is that monkey so powerful? How many years has it been since he showed his face? He hasn't even stepped into someone's house, yet he can scare people to this extent and cause such a huge commotion? Looking at this situation, how did Chengyu make a little kitten look like a tiger coming out of the mountains? The other side is actually so nervous. Is there a need for this? "
