"Is this child so stupid? Why does he reveal everything?"
In the Starry Hall, Qing Zhu, who was sitting behind the table and reading a jade archive, shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Shangguan Qing smiled. He was the one who had handed the jade archive to Qing Zhu, and it contained the contents of his conversation with Yuan Venerate Qing. After learning that Miao Yi and Yuan Venerate Qing had met, Qing Zhu had ordered him to ask Yuan Venerate Qing what they had talked about.
Yuan Venerate Qing was secretly shocked. However, after thinking about it, it made sense. The Imperial Guards were his father's subordinates, so it wasn't surprising that they knew about his situation. Furthermore, his mother was the person he trusted the most in this world, so he believed that she wouldn't harm him. Therefore, he obeyed his mother's orders and confessed most of his conversation with Miao Yi. He answered whatever Shangguan Qing asked.
Shangguan Qing copied the contents of the conversation on the jade archive without missing a single word. He didn't even ask his own questions. He didn't dare to do anything to Qing Zhu since they were father and son, so he had to maintain an objective and fair attitude and let Qing Zhu make his own judgment. As the closest person to Qing Zhu, he knew that there were some things that a person of his status couldn't touch. If someone of his status dared to get involved in such a matter, Qing Zhu wouldn't let him off easily, no matter how long he followed Qing Zhu.
Shangguan Qing knew why Qing Zhu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He must have seen Miao Yi admit that the Heavenly Empress had ordered him to attack Consort Qin. When he heard this from Yuan Venerate Qing, he knew that Qing Zhu wouldn't know whether to laugh or cry. Was Qing Zhu going to deal with it or not? It wasn't like Qing Zhu didn't know that the Heavenly Empress was the culprit behind the incident with Consort Qin's family. He was just pretending.
"Sigh! This child is so stupid! "Qing Zhu sighed again. He smiled bitterly and fell silent again.
There was one thing he had to admit. His son had never hidden anything from him since he was young. Perhaps he was stupid, but he had never lied to his father and Xiahou Chengyu's mother. He had always been honest with his parents.
Of course, this was his misjudgment. At the very least, Yuan Venerate Qing didn't mention that he had asked Miao Yi for money this time. He didn't tell his mother either and even asked Miao Yi to help him hide it.
However, Miao Yi didn't care whether Yuan Venerate Qing was stupid or not. He wanted to seek a better future for his brothers who had sacrificed their lives for him. If he didn't think about his subordinates, who else would risk their lives for him? How could they rally the army's morale?
As for persuading Yuan Venerate Qing to pull himself together, that was all talk. It didn't matter to him whether Yuan Venerate Qing could become a hero or not. In fact, he hoped that Yuan Venerate Qing would be a little muddle-headed. If Yuan Venerate Qing wasn't muddle-headed and incompetent, how could he, his trusted subordinate, gain power? Since ancient times, the only reason why powerful officials were able to rule the world was because their masters were muddle-headed and incompetent. How could someone like Qing Zhu allow his power to fall? The Four Heavenly Kings had been in power for so many years, but they were still firmly held in Qing Zhu's hands.
When discussing the follow-up plans with Yang Qing, Yang Qing had already made it clear that it wasn't important whether Yuan Venerate Qing could live up to Qing Zhu's expectations. What was important was to maintain the father-son relationship between Yuan Venerate Qing and Qing Zhu. This was the bottom line and foundation of the father-son relationship between Qing Zhu and Yuan Venerate Qing. As long as Qing Zhu approved of this son, it wouldn't matter if Yuan Venerate Qing didn't get the throne in the future. When the time came, Qing Zhu would think of a way to leave a way out for his son regardless of whether Yuan Venerate Qing was successful or not. Thus, he wouldn't eliminate Yuan Venerate Qing's henchmen. In other words, he wouldn't touch Miao Yi, at least not for a certain period of time. This would buy Miao Yi a lot of time.
Miao Yi deeply agreed with this!
Shangguan Qing was sharp enough to notice that Qing Zhu wasn't unhappy. He could tell from the word 'child' in Qing Zhu's words.
"In order to persuade Yuan Venerate Qing, that little monkey is even using his mother-son bond. How thoughtful." Qing Zhu muttered as he looked at the jade archive. "Will it be effective on Yuan Venerate Qing?"
Shangguan Qing immediately guessed that Niu Youde must have said that the Heavenly Empress' situation in the palace was a great humiliation, but he pretended not to hear it and didn't express any opinion.
"Ying Jiuguang has really lost all face this time. However, this little monkey has indeed fought beautifully. He is really unscrupulous." After watching the battle, Qing Zhu finally understood what the real process of the battle was like. Although the spies of the human race had a rough grasp of the situation, they weren't clear about the specifics. Other than the higher-ups of the human race, Miao Yi had been commanding the central personnel. Most of the members of the human race didn't know how the battle had been completed.
As he watched, he couldn't help but snort. "The people I have nurtured for so many years have benefited Chengyu in the end."
Shangguan Qing smiled faintly but quickly hid his expression. He could tell that Qing Zhu was feeling a little emotional.
"Oh, ten thousand trillion Yuan Immortal Pills and the Heavenly Avenue Governor … It seems that the release of the people from Virtue Assembly Hall is also one of Ying Jiuguang's conditions for compensation …" Qing Zhu shook his head and suddenly looked up at Shangguan Qing in surprise. "Ying Wuman is not dead and is in his hands?"
Shangguan Qing nodded. "That's what Your Highness said. Niu Youde wouldn't lie to Your Highness about this matter."
Qing Zhu glanced at the jade archive in his hand. "He wants to settle the score with the Ying Family and even wants to use Ying Wuman to attack the Ying Family first. What do you think he will do?"
Shangguan Qing shook his head. "I don't know. I asked Your Highness, but Your Highness said that Niu Youde didn't elaborate on this matter and only mentioned it briefly."
"Oh!" Qing Zhu sneered. "Then I shall wait and see." He threw the jade archive on the table and stood up. He paced slowly in the hall with his hands behind his back. When he reached the door, he stood there for a while and suddenly asked in a melancholy tone, "Does Chengyu and Yuan Venerate look more like a family?"
Shangguan Qing, who was following behind, immediately understood his thoughts. He was asking if he was being too heartless as a father. He immediately comforted him. "Your Majesty, you have a big heart. Your Highness will naturally understand in the future."
"A big heart …" Qing Zhu looked lost as he mumbled to himself. There was a hint of sadness on his face.
Shangguan Qing glanced sideways and quickly changed the topic. "Your Majesty, what should we do with the hundreds of thousands of Broken Magic Bows that Niu Youde seized? Should we ask him to hand them over? "
"Since both sides are pretending to be ignorant and helping each other conceal the truth, won't that monkey lose the opportunity to reap the benefits? It will be interesting to see Ying Jiuguang's reaction after he loses a lot of money. Since he knows that the Broken Magic Bows are in that guy's hands, can he run away? I can take them back at any time. Let's wait and see. I want to see how he will cause trouble for the Ying Family … "Qing Zhu suddenly narrowed his eyes." Niu Youde should know that he can't hide this from me, but he still dared to take these Broken Magic Bows. What does this mean? It means that he knows that I don't want to fall out with Ying Jiuguang at the moment, so he took the opportunity to reap the benefits … This kid is no longer the same as before. His methods are more profound and he is good at fighting. He is gradually showing the characteristics of an ambitious and ruthless person. I'm afraid that mother and son won't be able to control him in the future. It remains to be seen! "
Gradually showing the characteristics of an ambitious and ruthless person? Shangguan Qing's heart skipped a beat. He hadn't expected Qing Zhu to evaluate Niu Youde in such a way. What did this mean?
However, at this moment, Shangguan Qing recovered from his thoughts and took out a Star Bell. After a short contact, he was obviously stunned. After a while, he reported, "Your Majesty, what's the matter?" King, report! "
"Oh!" Qing Zhu snapped out of his thoughts. "She doesn't usually contact us. Why would she report at this time? What did she report?"
Shangguan Qing asked, "? The King said that her clansmen had encountered a great calamity and suffered countless casualties. She couldn't absolve herself from the blame. She had already handed it over? The position of the Patriarch is now taken over by Elder Mo You. I hereby request for His Majesty's resignation. I hope Your Majesty can accept the position of King. The title of King shall be conferred upon Mo You. "
Qing Zhu scoffed, "More than a million people died and you want to live and die? Women's opinions! She had to thank Niu Youde and Ying Jiuguang. These two fellows had caused a ruckus and delayed the time for her to make a move. If she had waited for her to make a move, it wouldn't just be these one million people. She's not even the clan leader anymore, so what's the point of wearing the crown on her head! "
"Yes!" Shangguan Qing agreed and prepared to make arrangements.
In the Black Dragon Swamp, the Imperial Guards only went through the motions. They didn't find the bandits. After delaying for a while, the human army retreated.
Now that the Personal Guards had retreated, Miao Yi couldn't stay in the Black Dragon Swamp for too long. If Ying Jiuguang were to launch another counterattack, things would get ugly. Even though he knew that Ying Jiuguang wouldn't do such a thing right now, since Miao Yi could 'invite' the Personal Guards back, he still had to be careful. He had to leave as soon as possible.
Just as he was gathering his troops, several people suddenly descended from the sky. Bluemoon, Long Xin, and a group of Netherworld Army troops immediately stood guard around Miao Yi, vigilant against the newcomers.
The newcomer was none other than? King, there's more? A few elders of the clan.
Miao Yi and the others had clearly noticed that something was amiss. 'Discovered? The green hairband on King's head had already disappeared and was now on Mo You's head. Mo You and the other elders all had expressions of unconcealable sorrow on their faces.
This was clearly illogical. Miao Yi and the others looked at each other, a little confused as to what was going on. Either way, they felt that something was amiss.
Under the watchful eyes of so many people? Wang Cong and the others took a few steps forward before turning to face Mo You. He gradually lowered his body and knelt on one knee to pay his respects to Mo You.
The elders all knelt on one knee to return the greeting. Mo You even quickly stepped forward and helped Wang Cong up. With tears in his eyes, he shook his head.
Miao Yi and the others were even more confused.? Wang Cong was actually paying respects to Mo You? Kneeling down? Everyone couldn't help but focus their gazes on the green hairband on Mo You's head. They all muttered to themselves, 'It can't be, could it be …'
? Wang Cong released Mo You's supporting hands, turned around, and gently strode towards Miao Yi.
Miao Yi rubbed his nose. He vaguely guessed something and felt a little embarrassed.
But Bluemoon and the others were completely confused. 'He's stopped him from a certain distance? Wang Cong doesn't allow him to get too close to Miao Yi, lest he threatens Miao Yi's safety. '
? Wang Cong stopped in his tracks and said to Miao Yi, who was behind the encirclement, "I'm no longer Wang Cong? Not even Wang Cong? The patriarch of the clan had already been expelled? Clan Leader Niu, are you willing to take me in? "
