It would have been better if he didn't say it out loud. Now that he said it, it wasn't hard for the three of them to guess Yang Zhaoqing's intention. This was obviously Yang Zhaoqing's way of protecting himself. He didn't bring Xing Ling with him. If he killed this middleman, Niu Youde would doubt the sincerity of this negotiation.
If they really wanted to kill Niu Youde, they couldn't kill Yang Zhaoqing. They couldn't detain him either.
That's right, Yang Zhaoqing did have such a plan. Before he came, he thought that he might have a higher chance of surviving without Xing Ling. If the other party was determined to not let him go, they wouldn't let him go with or without Xing Ling. Therefore, even if this method didn't work, he could still find out whether Xu Tangran was dead or alive. If Xu Tangran wasn't dead, the other party would definitely ask Xu Tangran to use Xing Ling to contact Lord Lieutenant. Xu Tangran could take the opportunity to inform Lord Lieutenant about the situation here. Therefore, whether he brought Xing Ling or not was not important to him.
Ao Fei tilted his head and said, "Search."
The person who escorted Yang Zhaoqing replied, "Great General, we have searched carefully. We really didn't bring anything."
"Heh!" Ao Fei raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Yang Zhaoqing again. He tilted his head and said, "Take him away and keep an eye on him!"
Immediately, someone came up and dragged Yang Zhaoqing away.
This immediately surprised Yang Zhaoqing. He didn't expect that he would be dragged away without even seeing Ying Wuman. He didn't see the number of troops or Ying Wuman. How could he do this? Wouldn't he have come for nothing? He immediately shouted, "Great General, what do you mean? Are you going to talk or not?"
Ao Fei said indifferently, "You didn't bring anything. How do I know if you are the real Yang Zhaoqing? Wait until I confirm your identity and report to Master Marquis."
Yang Zhaoqing heard that there was a chance. Otherwise, the other party wouldn't say such words. This was clearly an excuse. He stopped making noise and turned his head to shout, "Who is the general?"
"That's Ao Fei!" Ao Fei answered.
Ao Fei? Yang Zhaoqing, who was being escorted away, thought for a moment and remembered. He learned from You Huan that there was indeed such a person in Ying Wuman's entourage. So this person was Ao Fei.
There were no outsiders in the cavern hall. Ao Fei asked, "Brother Wang, Brother Kong, what do you think?"
Wang Yuanqiao laughed and said, "I don't know if the idea of not bringing the Star Bell was Niu Youde's idea or Yang Zhaoqing's. If it was really his idea, then Yang Zhaoqing is really interesting. I wonder if I can recruit him."
"Looks like Brother Wang appreciates talent!" Kong Han chuckled, then turned to Ao Fei. "Great General, do you think Niu Youde will surrender? I think it's a trap. "
Ao Fei chuckled. "Surrender? Why would he surrender? He clearly knew that he was going to die, so would he surrender? If it was someone else who was afraid of the Prince's power, it would be hard to say. But was this guy someone who was afraid of that? He was obviously tempted by the bait I threw out and wanted to make a move, but he didn't know how big the bait was. He was worried that he wouldn't be able to bite it, so he sent Yang Zhaoqing to test my strength. I was worried that he would hide forever. Now it seems that he still hasn't given up. Very good! "
Wang Yuanqiao said, "Looks like the Great General is prepared to show Yang Zhaoqing the truth and then let him go later."
Ao Fei said, "That's right! Let's put him aside for now. Don't be too direct. Otherwise, Niu Youde will think that it's a trap and won't bite the bait. "
Wang Yuanqiao and Kong Han looked at each other and chuckled.
As soon as the order was given, the hidden army of four hundred thousand immediately revealed themselves.
As soon as the army appeared, Miao Yi, who was standing on the top of a mountain, immediately saw it. A dazzling beam of light that was constantly adjusting its size shot out from between his brows.
As soon as Yang Zhaoqing left, Miao Yi came here and ordered his men to guard the surroundings to prevent anyone from approaching. Then, he activated his Heaven's Eye and followed Yang Zhaoqing to where he had gone. His Heaven's Eye scanned the surroundings and didn't see the army. He only breathed a sigh of relief when the army revealed itself.
However, he didn't see where Ying Wuman was. He saw Ao Fei and the other two, but he didn't see Ying Wuman. He didn't know if he was in the Paradise guarded by the soldiers. In the end, he kept his Heaven's Eye on Yang Zhaoqing for a while longer before slowly retracting it.
Back in the cavern hall, Miao Yi stood in front of the compass. 'Fate?' The clan's spies were closely watching the movements of the army of one hundred thousand and were already considering how to make a move. However, they still had to wait for the time being. They didn't know if the other side would let Yang Zhaoqing return.
His suspicions weren't without reason. Ying Wuman was indeed in the Paradise. At this moment, he was sitting in the pavilion with a gloomy expression. The ropes on his body had already been untied, but no one dared to remove the transcendence energy restriction. Beside him was a feast of fine wine and delicacies. Ying Wuman would occasionally pour cup after cup of wine into his mouth with a sullen expression.
Outside the pavilion, Zhe Chunqiu was lying on a soft couch with his back badly mutilated. Someone was constantly using the Glorious Star immortal herb to treat his wounds. His expression was still ugly, and his eyes occasionally flashed with resentment.
Bang! A sound came from inside the pavilion. Zhe Chunqiu quickly turned his head to look and saw Ying Wuman slamming the wine cup in his hand onto the stone table.
"There must be something fishy going on here. This won't do. I have to ask my Royal Father for an explanation." Ying Wuman turned his head and shouted, "Release the restriction on my body!"
The soldier who was serving him wine immediately had a bitter expression on his face. "Marquis, I wouldn't dare. This is an order from His Royal Highness. Once you contact His Royal Highness, I won't even have enough head to chop off in his rage!"
"You cowardly thing!" Ying Wuman angrily rebuked. He then turned to look at Zhe Chunqiu outside and said, "Zhe Chunqiu, you do it!"
"Ah!" Zhe Chunqiu's face scrunched up like a bitter gourd. "Marquis, this is a military order from His Royal Highness. You can't take it lightly. Even if I had the courage to do so, I wouldn't dare disobey His Royal Highness's military order! Marquis, please don't make things difficult for me! Besides, it's a small matter if I lose my life, but if His Royal Highness takes his anger out on you, Marquis, then it will be troublesome. "
Bang! Ying Wuman slapped the table with a dark expression on his face.
At this time, a golden armored young general came in from outside the paradise. He cupped his hands to Zhe Chunqiu who was lying outside the pavilion and then cupped his hands to say, "Marquis, Niu Youde's trusted subordinate Yang Zhaoqing is here."
"Un?" Ying Wuman was stunned. He said in a strange voice, "Yang Zhaoqing? What is he doing here? "
The general was called Wu Xianqi. Don't look at him as a golden armored young general, he had a cultivation in the Vision Domain Realm. He was one of the leaders of Ying Wuman's new army and his status wasn't low in his early years. Later, he was demoted because of his reckless actions, but it was hard to predict what would happen. Ying Wuman had formed a new army and he was recruited by Ying Wuman. Then he held onto Ying Wuman's thigh and his situation changed. Everyone knew that Ying Wuman would become a powerful official in the future with a bright future, which made many people envious.
Wu Xianqi said, "I heard that he is here to negotiate with the marquis on behalf of Niu Youde. He has been temporarily detained by Great General Ao and is being watched by our brothers."
Ying Wuman had been detained, but his new army had not been detained. They were still in the central army and hadn't been given any missions. The reason why they hadn't been given any missions was because no one dared to use his people. Although Ying Wuman had been detained and his military power had been taken away, the new army was still his people. It wasn't hard for him to know what was happening outside, and no one dared to offend him. It could be imagined that he had been released from the paradise. Even if Ao Fei knew that he had been released, he could only turn a blind eye to it. As long as he didn't leave this place and didn't let his highness know, Ao Fei wouldn't dare do anything to him.
Ying Wuman was stunned, "Negotiate with me? What do you want to discuss? "
Wu Xianqi shook his head, "I don't know. None of our brothers in the new army are in the central army."
Ying Wuman said with a frown, "Go and bring them over."
"This …" Wu Xianqi was in a bit of a dilemma. "Marquis, this isn't appropriate, right?" He muttered in his heart. You are a prisoner; how can you do this? Now, he was extremely regretful. If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have come to flatter him.
Ying Wuman's face immediately turned cold. "They are here to negotiate with me. Can't I even know what is going on? I didn't ask you to disobey military orders. Why? Is it because I have lost my power that I can't command you anymore? "
Wu Xianqi broke out in a sweat and laughed dryly. "Marquis, what are you talking about? It is all thanks to Marquis that I am where I am today. As long as Marquis gives the order, even if I say something unpleasant and want to rebel, I will not say anything. I am loyal to Marquis, and the sun and moon can prove it. I am just afraid that I will cause trouble for Marquis. I am worried that Ao Fei won't be easy to talk to. After all, Ao Fei has the power given to him by the Marquis!"
He didn't even say anything about rebelling! These words made Ying Wuman's heart feel comfortable. Only now did he feel like he was the one who brought up the army. His expression became much more relaxed as he said, "I am just trying to understand the situation. I didn't disobey military orders, did I? Ao Fei didn't say that I can't see him either. Bring him here. I will bear all of Ao Fei's opinions! "
"Understood!" Wu Xianqi accepted the order and left.
Inside a cave, Yang Zhaoqing was temporarily under guard. He paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, pondering over Ao Fei's intentions and Ying Wuman's.
The guards outside the cave were from the new army, so Wu Xianqi was able to barge in easily. When he saw Yang Zhaoqing, he sized him up and asked, "You are Yang Zhaoqing?"
Yang Zhaoqing hesitated. "I am. And you are?"
Wu Xianqi tossed his head and said, "Let's go. Follow me. Marquis Ying wants to see you."
"Oh!" Yang Zhaoqing was overjoyed. It seemed that Ying Wuman was indeed here. In other words, there must be quite a number of troops gathered here. Yang Zhaoqing didn't know that Miao Yi's Heaven's Eye had already seen him. He immediately nodded and said, "Thank you."
Then, he started to walk out of the cave. Unexpectedly, Wu Xianqi pushed his chest and said, "Go into my beast sack."
"Beast sack?" Yang Zhaoqing asked curiously, "Why do I have to go into the beast sack? It's not like I'm doing something shameful." Suspicion rose in his heart. 'Could it be that this is a trap, and Ying Wuman isn't actually here?'
Wu Xianqi said in a low voice, "I'm telling you now. When you meet Great General Ao, you are not allowed to mention that you met with Lord Marquis." Ying Wuman was very bold, but Miao Yi was a little afraid. Ao Fei might not dare to do anything to Ying Wuman, but wouldn't he dare to do anything to Miao Yi? However, Miao Yi didn't dare to disobey Ying Wuman, so he could only give Yang Zhaoqing some advice first.
Yang Zhaoqing was immediately puzzled. "Why?"
