'Get back everything with interest?' 'Demanding an exorbitant price?' Miao Yi was immediately tempted. He hesitated and said, 'I have already exposed the fact that the eastern army elites disguised themselves as bandits. The imperial guards will be here soon. With so many witnesses, the Heavenly Court will know once they find someone related. How can we hide it?'
Yang Qing: 'Sir, is Master Qing willing to go to war with the Ying family now?' 'Master Qing is not willing to touch the Ying family unless things have escalated to a certain point. Otherwise, the Four Heavenly Kings will join forces to rebel. If you take a step back, not only will you give the Ying family a way out, but you will also give Master Qing a way out. As long as you are willing to pretend to be ignorant, the Heavenly Court will not take it seriously if both sides are vague! Has Your Excellency ever thought about why such a small matter would alarm Master Qing to mobilize a group of troops? Others might not know, but how could you not know? Yuan Venerate Qing was probably involved. Master Qing was exerting pressure on Hao Defang and Ying Jiuguang in some way. At the very least, the nearby Southern Army wouldn't dare send anyone into the Black Dragon Swamp to interfere in this matter. Master Qing was secretly helping the Lord!
Miao Yi thought for a while and asked, 'How do we get back everything with interest?'
Yang Qing: 'How do we ask? I believe you know how to do it. But there is one thing you have to fight for. Heaven's Avenue! You want to take this opportunity to force the Ying family to help you obtain control of Heaven's Avenue! Even if the Ying family temporarily calms things down, they will definitely not let you go in the future. Just like I said, the reason we retract our fists is to strike with more power. We cannot let the Ying family strike first in the next round. Otherwise, you will be in danger. It is time for us to strike first, so we must obtain control of Heaven's Avenue! '
Miao Yi was surprised and asked, 'Why must we obtain control of Heaven's Avenue?'
Yang Qing immediately explained. Miao Yi's eyes brightened as he listened. He nodded silently. After understanding Yang Qing's plan, he said worriedly, 'The forces in Heaven's Avenue are mixed. How can the Ying family make decisions?'
Yang Qing: 'Don't feel troubled for the Ying family. What benefits the Ying family should sacrifice to make the other forces agree is a headache for the Ying family. You don't have to worry about it. Anyway, the Heavenly Empress who is in charge of Heaven's Avenue in name will not stop you. Let the Ying family settle the court.'
Miao Yi thought, 'There are too many people who know about the Black Dragon Swamp. It's impossible to keep it a secret. Sooner or later, the outside world will know about it. I'm just afraid that Ying Jiuguang won't agree because he doesn't want to be humiliated!'
Yang Qing thought, 'Those who can reach the position of Heavenly King are all people who are good at compromising. To put it bluntly, which one of them didn't endure humiliation? As long as they weigh the pros and cons, they will agree. Otherwise, just based on the fact that Sir killed his grandson back then, he would have spared no expense. Since he couldn't kill the Lord, he had to agree!
Miao Yi: Alright! I will ask Ying Wuman to contact his father.
Yang Qing: No! If Ying Jiuguang confirmed that Ying Wuman was still alive, he would definitely be included in the negotiation. He couldn't hand Ying Wuman over to Ying Jiuguang because he had other uses for Ying Wuman. Moreover, using Ying Wuman might anger Ying Jiuguang. Ying Jiuguang was a Heavenly King after all, so he shouldn't be too arrogant. It was better to ease the atmosphere and find a suitable person to pass the message!
After the two of them finished their secret discussion, Yang Qing put away the Star Bell and exhaled. He had finally managed to persuade Miao Yi.
As for the specifics of the execution, he wasn't worried at all. Miao Yi's ability to execute could only be stronger than his. This was something that had been proven time and time again.
"What's wrong? You look like you've been relieved of a great burden. "Leaning against the window, Jin Man teased him.
Yang Qing smiled bitterly and said, "The Sage King has agreed not to fight anymore."
Jin Man moved away from the window and asked, "You persuaded him?"
Yang Qing smiled without saying a word. He looked noncommittal and didn't want to claim credit.
Unexpectedly, Jin Man revealed her girly side and rolled her eyes. "That's enough! You? It's not that I want to criticize you, but you always think too much about everything. To put it bluntly, you're overcautious and indecisive. When it comes to something that's too risky, you plan more and make less decisions. What you lack is the Sage King's decisiveness, ruthlessness, and boldness! If you were placed in the same position as the Sage King, you might be more scheming than the Sage King, but do you believe that the one who succeeds in the end will be the Sage King and not you? "
Yang Qing smiled bitterly. "Why bother making things up like this? I haven't offended you, have I?"
"Make things up?" Jin Man glared at him and sneered. "Heh! You really aren't making things up! Because there are some things that the Sage King dares to do that you wouldn't dare to do! Take this Black Dragon Swamp for example. If you were in my shoes, you would definitely not do it if you didn't think you had a chance of success. The outcome would definitely be different. Yes, you are scheming, but no matter how much you schemed, could you win against Ying Jiuguang in the short term? You would definitely be in a state of contending for a long time and would definitely be on the passive side. However, the outcome of the Sage King's gamble would be different. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the offensive and defensive positions between the Sage King and Ying Jiuguang had already been swapped. Now the Sage King held the initiative, while Ying Jiuguang had become extremely passive. If it wasn't for this fierce battle, would there be such a situation? This is the so-called rebellion in the secular world that fails after ten years. It's referring to people like you. "
Ever since a certain someone had tactfully rejected her feelings, she had become a little impolite when she spoke to him. It was as if she was venting her anger.
"..." Yang Qing was actually speechless from her words.
After Miao Yi put away the Star Bell, he walked back to the center of the cavern hall. He paced back and forth with his hands behind his back as he digested Yang Qing's opinion. The armor on his body gently clattered as he walked.
In the end, he raised his head and walked to the side of the compass. He said to the generals who were gathered around the compass, "Forget it! Hide well. We won't fight anymore. "
"Why?" Bluemoon was surprised. After being exiled for so many years, she harbored resentment towards the Four Heavenly Kings. She didn't want to miss the opportunity to vent it. Fighting against the eight-hundred-thousand-strong army wasn't without these emotions.
Even the few of them? The Clan Elder also looked at Miao Yi with a bit of hesitation, as if he hadn't had his fill of fighting. Similarly, the Clan Elder had been suppressed by the Heavenly Court for so many years, and it had been a long time since they had been so happy. They had killed the Heavenly Court's troops and killed bandits. They weren't afraid of being held accountable.
However, with Mo You and the others around, they couldn't say anything.
On the other hand, Mo You looked at Miao Yi expectantly, hoping that what he said was true. She walked to the side of the compass and asked, "Is Lord Lieutenant speaking the truth?"
Miao Yi looked at her and nodded. "The casualties of the clan are too heavy. I really can't bear to see it happen. What's more, I've already agreed. My Lord, try your best to protect the Clan Elder. I've always been a man of my word. I'll never go back on my word. Since I've already taught the Ying family a lesson, there's no need for me to go easy on them. Since the Clan Elder has sacrificed himself, just take it as letting the enemy off the hook! "
"My Lord, I'm afraid that even though we're willing to stop, the enemy won't!" Long Xin advised. His mentality was similar to Bluemoon's, and he wanted to show the people of the past.
Miao Yi raised his hand. "Say no more. I've made up my mind!"
Mo You heaved a heavy sigh of relief. His eyes were filled with gratitude as he cupped his fists and bowed in thanks!
How many of you wish to continue fighting? The Clan Elder looked at each other, but in the end, he didn't dare to voice his thoughts.
"However, before the war ends, we can't stop using our scouts. Instead, we have to be on high alert and guard against the enemy's sneak attack!" Miao Yi stared at Mo You and instructed.
"Yes! I understand. "Mo You nodded in response.
Miao Yi then left everyone in the cavern hall. Yan Xiu reflexively followed behind him.
Yang Zhaoqing stood guard outside the cavern, while Yan Xiu followed him inside.
After arranging a chair and sitting down, Miao Yi furrowed his brows again. He didn't know who would be the most suitable person to pass the message to. Ying Wuman, Zhe Chunqiu, and the others weren't within his consideration for now. There were some things that the two of them might not dare to say to Ying Jiuguang. After some thought, his brows relaxed as he thought of the most suitable person to communicate with Ying Jiuguang.
However, after taking out the Star Bell to contact that person, he hesitated again. He stared at the Star Bell in his hand as various scenes flashed through his mind. He was a little distracted.
Some things and some scenes were truly unforgettable. Even though he had already become a feudal lord, the higher he climbed, the more guilty he felt. He felt as though he had sacrificed someone in exchange for his current achievements.
In the Heavenly Court's Eastern Palace, Zhan Ruyi sat in front of the dressing table, lost in thought as she stared at the beauty in the mirror.
Silver Frost and White Snow, who were combing her hair, also noticed that something was wrong with her. They realized that the Heavenly Consort had been daydreaming today.
"My Lady Consort, you seem a little unhappy. Are we not serving you well?" Silver Frost looked at the woman's reaction in the mirror and asked tentatively.
Zhan Ruyi regained his senses and suddenly asked, "Is there any news from the Black Dragon Swamp?"
Silver Frost shook her head. "There are still those rumors out there. My family is unwilling to say much about it and told me not to ask around."
Zhan Ruyi stared at his reflection in the mirror and suddenly snorted. His gaze was filled with mockery.
When she heard that Miao Yi had led the army to fight against the five million elites of the Eastern Army at the Black Dragon Swamp, she felt her blood boil. It didn't matter who won or lost. What was important was that she and Miao Yi were both commanders in the past. Now, Miao Yi was galloping on the battlefield and had the courage to fight against the elite army of the world, fighting against millions of soldiers. But what about her? Her battle armor was covered in dust, and she had changed into red makeup. Just like the countless women in the imperial harem, she sat here every day, waiting for that man to come and pamper her. The only thing she could do seemed to be undressing in front of that man …
The person in the mirror was clearly stunned. Zhan Ruyi looked down at the storage bracelet on his wrist and was a little surprised. Was it because he had a feeling?
She took out a Star Bell. It was none other than Miao Yi's. She was surprised that Miao Yi would contact her at this time. Wasn't he fighting for his life at the Black Dragon Swamp?
Silver Frost and White Snow looked at each other. They could see the unusual reaction of the Heavenly Empress, who usually had no other expression.
After communicating with the Star Bell, Zhan Ruyi asked, "Is something the matter?"
She thought that Miao Yi needed her help at this time, like begging the Ying Family to let him go.
