Zhan Ruyi slowly stood up, dragging his long skirt as he walked slowly. Something was boiling in his heart. Over half of the five million elites of the Eastern Army had been killed by him?
Zhan Ruyi couldn't help but ask as he imagined the blood-boiling scene of millions of people fighting. How are the losses on your side?
There was no way Miao Yi would reveal the military intelligence to her. He replied, "It's fine as long as Heavenly King Ying knows."
Zhan Ruyi: You called me just for me to pass on this message?
Miao Yi: Yes!
Zhan Ruyi: Are you trying to show off to me?
Showing off? Miao Yi didn't even know where to begin with these words, so he replied, 'There's no need for me to show off to Her Ladyship. I just want Her Ladyship to pass on a message.'
Zhan Ruyi: Why did you pick me out of everyone else? I don't believe that a dignified marquis like you can't find anyone else to pass the message to. Why me? Am I important to you?
Miao Yi was completely speechless. What the hell was going on? He didn't want to get tangled up with her. 'If Her Highness is unwilling to pass this message, then I'll find someone else.'
Zhan Ruyi: I can help you pass the message. Aren't you afraid that I will tell His Majesty?
Miao Yi thought, 'Your Ladyship must be joking. I believe Your Ladyship doesn't wish to implicate the Ying family!' I still have matters to attend to, so I won't disturb you any longer.
After they ended the call, Miao Yi looked at the Starbell in his hand and sighed softly.
Zhan Ruyi looked at the Star Bell in his hand silently for a long time. In the end, he put it away and took out another Star Bell. He contacted Ying Jiuguang directly.
Among the descendants of the Ying Family, Zhan Ruyi was the only one who had Xing Ling and Heavenly King Ying's direct contact.
Silver Frost and White Snow stared at her every move. It seemed like the Heavenly Consort would only use the star bell to communicate with her parents. However, the Heavenly Consort did not seem to be contacting her parents, so it was suspicious.
Speaking of Xing Ling's communication, Silver Frost and White Snow were quite proud. The entire harem probably had to thank the Heavenly Consort because they had personally seen and heard some things.
His Majesty felt that the Heavenly Consort was a bit bored. He said that the Heavenly Consort had his token and could go out at any time without notifying him. He also advised the Heavenly Consort to go out and relax. Her Ladyship said that there was no need and that it was quite good this way. His Majesty also told Her Highness to contact her family if she had nothing to do, so that she wouldn't be bored here. Her Ladyship said that the back palace had blocked the star bell transmission and that there was no need to do so.
Therefore, His Majesty pondered for a while and said that he would deal with this matter.
The next day, His Majesty found an excuse to remove the Star Bell communication formation in the harem. Others did not know the true reason, but the two of them were very clear. For the Empress, His Majesty had removed the rules that had been in place since the establishment of the Imperial Harem. In the entire world, only the Empress could enjoy this honor. Even the Empress could not compare.
On the riverside, Ying Jiuguang, who was standing with his hands behind his back with a gloomy expression, had a slight change in his expression. He was obviously a little startled as he took out a star bell.
He was a little surprised. He hadn't expected Zhan Ruyi to contact him. Before sending Zhan Ruyi to the palace, they had exchanged contact information, but Zhan Ruyi had never used it before. This was the first time. He didn't know why Zhan Ruyi would contact him at this time. Could it be related to the Black Dragon Swamp or some changes in the Heavenly Palace?
After contacting her, Ying Jiuguang politely replied, "This old subject pays his respects to the Heavenly Consort!
Zhan Ruyi: Niu Youde just contacted me …
She relayed the message Miao Yi wanted her to pass on to him.
Ying Jiuguang was stunned. Why would Niu Youde contact you?
Zhan Ruyi: I don't know what he means either.
Ying Jiuguang was silent for a moment. He understood Miao Yi's intentions a little. He didn't use the Black Dragon Swamp captives to contact him to show his sincerity in the negotiation. He didn't want to agitate him. He also asked the Heavenly Consort to pass the message to him in hopes that he would calm down and think about it.
In fact, the effect was obvious. If Ying Wuman and Zhe Chunqiu, the two troublemakers, were here to negotiate, Ying Jiuguang would immediately fly into a rage. Since Zhan Ruyi had spoken, Ying Jiuguang was able to keep his cool. He couldn't say anything harsh to Zhan Ruyi either.
Niu Youde had put in a lot of effort to consider this. Ying Jiuguang roughly understood that Niu Youde really wanted to negotiate and wasn't just messing with him.
"Where are the guards?" Ying Jiuguang tilted his head and asked.
Zuo 'er replied, "They'll probably reach the Black Dragon Swamp in two hours at most."
Ying Jiuguang slowly raised his head and closed his eyes. He slowly said, "Niu Youde doesn't want to fight anymore."
"What?" Zuo 'er was stunned.' Didn't that guy want to fight to the end from the start? '
Ying Jiuguang shook the star bell in his hand and told Zhan Ruyi, "Let him choose the location."
Zhan Ruyi: 'Grandfather, is the incident at the Black Dragon Swamp really related to you?'
Ying Jiuguang: 'Lady Consort, this isn't something you should be asking. Just tell him what I said. He will know what I mean.'
After putting away the star bell, Ying Jiuguang looked down at his own reflection in the river and said helplessly, "Tell Wang Yuanqiao to stop! Let Kong Han negotiate … "
Kong Han descended from the highest peak of a barren planet in space. The person responsible for receiving him was Duke Yuan.
After searching Kong Han's body, Duke Yuan placed a restriction on him and took him away in a beast sack.
? The human spies were on high alert in space to prevent anyone from following them.
When Duke Yuan arrived at the inner cave of the hall, he threw Kong Han out and dismissed him. Duke Yuan knew that he wasn't part of Niu Youde's inner circle yet.
Miao Yi expressionlessly sat on a chair, his armor still on as he stared coldly at the other party.
Yang Zhaoqing searched Kong Han again, then retreated to the side.
Kong Han stared back at him coldly. "Niu Youde!"
"That's me!" Miao Yi nodded and pointed to the chair opposite him, gesturing for him to sit.
Kong Han walked over and sat down. He glanced at Xu Tangran, who was walking over to serve him tea and gritted his teeth. He knew that Xu Tangran was a dead man, yet he managed to escape. If he had this guy, he might be able to trade with Niu Youde.
Miao Yi gestured for him to have some tea.
Kong Han said, "No need. Just say it. What do you want to talk about?"
Miao Yi didn't beat around the bush. "Lord Kong, why ask when you already know the answer? It's simple. I have over a hundred thousand captives and hundreds of thousands of corpses from the Eastern Army. The Imperial Guards will be here soon. If you don't want me to hand them over, you can trade with me."
Kong Han said, "What do you want?"
Miao Yi said, "Nothing more than a promotion and wealth. I hope Heavenly King Ying can help me get promoted again."
Kong Han said, "If you get promoted again, you will become a Marquis. Do you think that's possible with your talent and cultivation? There's no precedent for this in the imperial court. "
Miao Yi said, "If not in the imperial court, then the Heaven's Avenue will do. I want to control the entire Heaven's Avenue."
Kong Han sneered, "You're talking nonsense!"
Miao Yi ignored his reaction and continued, "As for the people of Virtue Assembly Hall, release all of them that you've captured. Vindicate Virtue Assembly Hall. Also, compensate me with ten thousand trillion Yuan Immortal Pills! "
'Ten thousand trillion Yuan Immortal Pills?' Kong Han abruptly stood up and said angrily, "That's impossible! You call this a negotiation? You don't have the slightest bit of sincerity! "
Miao Yi said indifferently, "Your attitude isn't important. You can't make the decision on this. Let Heavenly King Ying think about it. All you need to do is bring my words to him!"
Kong Han gritted his teeth. That's right. He couldn't make the decision on this matter. Wang Yuanqiao, the Commander-in-Chief, couldn't make the decision either. In the end, it still depended on the Prince's opinion. With a savage expression, he said, "Ying Wuman, Marquis Ying, and Zhe Chunqiu. I want to see them."
Miao Yi said calmly, "I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you. They're already dead. During the battle, they were used as shields, and they were shot dead by your people. Their bodies were blown to pieces, and not even a complete corpse could be found. If you don't believe me, you can ask your own people!"
Kong Han wanted to curse. The people who shot the hostages were probably all dead. How was he supposed to ask them? He said solemnly, "That's impossible. There's no way they wouldn't report to the higher-ups after killing Marquis Ying's subordinates!"
Miao Yi said, "I don't know about that. In any case, they're indeed dead. Otherwise, why would I need to beat around the bush to contact you? I could've just asked Ying Wuman to contact you. "
Kong Han gritted his teeth and said, "Sincerity! I can't see any sincerity in you. How are you going to negotiate like this? "
Miao Yi stood up and walked up to him. He patted his chest and said, "Lord Kong, you're being a little unreasonable by saying that. You've already lost the battle, and you still want to take advantage of us at the negotiation table? Is that even possible? Now, I'm the one raising the conditions. I'm only asking if you agree to it. If you don't, then we'll continue fighting. I'm more than happy to oblige! "
To Kong Han, this wasn't a negotiation at all. He was obviously here to be humiliated. However, his attitude wasn't important. He didn't chat much with Miao Yi before Miao Yi sent him off. However, before he left, Miao Yi established a direct connection with him through Xing Ling, so Kong Han wouldn't have to waste his time running back and forth.
After Kong Han returned, he informed Zuo 'er of the situation. He then acted as the middleman between Zuo' er and Miao Yi, conveying the intentions of both parties. This was the true start of the negotiations. Of course, Zuo 'er's intentions were naturally Ying Jiuguang's. Otherwise, how would Ying Jiuguang feel if he contacted Ying Jiuguang directly?
During the negotiations, Ying Jiuguang contacted the other three Heavenly Kings at the same time. This was because some things couldn't be agreed to by him alone. Meanwhile, Miao Yi was also contacting Yang Qing because the negotiations were stuck in some areas. The problem was that some things couldn't be decided by Ying Jiuguang alone.
The final point of the negotiations was Miao Yi's promotion. The Marquis of the Ascending Celestial Court, Ying Jiuguang, didn't agree and said that he didn't have the ability to do it. Miao Yi then fought for control of Heaven's Avenue. Ying Jiuguang also said that the other forces wouldn't put their biggest source of income under his threat. In the end, they only agreed to help him fight for the position of Heaven's Avenue's Governor. Moreover, it was a position that didn't involve direct control of a territory. How could Miao Yi be willing to accept an empty title?
After much debate, Ying Jiuguang finally agreed to Miao Yi's position. He would enjoy the rank of Heaven's Avenue's Governor, along with the position of Heaven's Avenue's Patrol Inspector. This was probably the only real power he had in Heaven's Avenue. He would continue to hold the position of Nether North Capital Commander. Miao Yi couldn't give up the military power of the Nether North Capital Commander.
It could be said that Miao Yi made concessions on this matter. However, the other two points were not negotiable because the other party could do it. Miao Yi didn't want any more. Not to mention whether the Ying family would agree, things that were too eye-catching would attract trouble. He couldn't keep them.
"Your Highness, about the ten thousand trillion Yuan Immortal Pills and the Virtuous Assembly Hall …" Zuo 'er asked cautiously.
Ying Jiuguang was expressionless. It was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry. He slowly said, "Agree to it. We will settle this score with him after this."
Zuo 'er said, "But he won't hand it over now. What if he hands it over to the Imperial Guards when they arrive?"
