Mo You had no choice but to accept the throne!
? After Wang Xing learned about the situation, she learned that Miao Yi was trying to avoid the war. The fact that the human race had sacrificed so much and took the initiative to stop the war meant that they had fulfilled their promise to her. Naturally, she had to fulfill her promise as well. She didn't know that Miao Yi had another reason for stopping the war. Not only her, not many people in the world knew about it.
? The human side naturally wouldn't give in? Wang Xing abdicated, but? Wang Xing said that she had already sworn on the future of her people in exchange for Miao Yi's truce. She couldn't break the oath and abdicate. The human side had no other choice. Even the poison oath was out, and they knew they couldn't stop it.
Mo You couldn't refuse it no matter how many times she tried. Wang Xing reluctantly accepted it under Wang Ling's command, but she also repeatedly emphasized that as long as? Wang Xing returned, she would hand over the throne at any time.
? She was no longer a king? Wang? She still wanted the Lieutenant to take her in? Bluemoon and the others were surprised. What was going on?
Miao Yi naturally understood? What did the king mean? It seemed that his little trick had worked. He had really forced this woman to be his slave. But judging from her words, it was obvious that she wanted to disassociate herself from the human side. Just in case.
With? Wang Si's eyes met. Miao Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly. So many of her people had died. He didn't mention the oath anymore. He didn't expect this woman to be so honest.
After a moment's hesitation, Miao Yi didn't want to give up the benefits and shouted, "Are you telling the truth?"
? Wang Xing said loudly, "Heaven and earth can bear witness!"
Miao Yi gave a slight nod, then gestured to the side with his head. Immediately, someone came forward and placed a seal on Wang Xing's body. After a body search, she was released.
When they faced each other, Miao Yi sighed. "Why do you have to do this? It's not too late to regret. I can pretend you never agreed."
? Wang Xing's attitude didn't change. She said calmly, "I won't go back on my word."
As expected, Miao Yi knew that this woman wouldn't risk the future of her people, so he didn't say anything else and kept her in his pocket. After all, this woman's cultivation was too high. He had to be on guard for now. He then waved his hand and shouted, "Depart!" He took the lead and flew into the sky.
The army followed and quickly flew into the depths of the starry sky.
Mo You choked with sobs, and the elders looked up to send him off …
"The Imperial Guards have withdrawn from the Black Dragon Swamp so quickly?" Hao Defang, who was in the pavilion, slowly turned her head and asked in surprise.
Su Yun nodded. "That's right, they did evacuate."
Hao Defang pondered for a while and finally patted the railing lightly. She shook her head and sighed, "Ying Jiuguang, oh Ying Jiuguang. Isn't this injustice?"
Kou Lingxu, who was standing under the eaves of the Kou Heavens King Manor, looked up and sighed. "Ying Jiuguang didn't lose to Niu Youde. He was tricked by Master Qing. But this is also good. We've tested Master Qing's bottom line. Right now, Master Qing has no intention of abolishing the Empress. "
Lord Guang, who was sitting quietly in the study room of the Guang Heavenly King's residence, was silent for a long time. Finally, he sighed and said, "This position of Empress has made Ying Jiuguang miserable. Let's put aside the matter of Mei 'er entering the palace for now. Let's wait and see. If she is willing to continue running to Niu Youde's side, then let her go."
Gou Yue replied, "Yes!"
King Ying Tian's residence. The sky was filled with dazzling stars, reflecting on the tranquil flowing river.
Ying Jiuguang stood by the river for a long time with his hands behind his back. His fists were tightly clenched behind his back, but his face was very calm.
The news of the Imperial Guards retreating from the Black Dragon Marsh was known by the others. It was impossible for him not to know. The others could see the deeper meaning behind it, so it was impossible for him not to see it. Perhaps the people below him didn't understand, but how could the people involved in the game not understand?
Even though he had roughly understood something when the Imperial Guards rushed to the Black Dragon Marsh in large numbers. Now that the Imperial Guards retreated as if they were just going through the motions, there was no doubt that his judgment was confirmed. The Imperial Guards were here to support Niu Youde, suppressing the southern army so that they wouldn't dare to interfere with the Black Dragon Marsh's affairs.
In other words, Master Qing never intended to abolish the Empress. From the very beginning, he suddenly ordered Zhan Ruyi to return to the Heavenly Palace to deliberately release false information to mislead him, causing him to fight for the position of Empress for Zhan Ruyi. If he knew that he wouldn't succeed from the beginning, he wouldn't have done this.
"I was blinded by greed and was used by him!" Ying Jiuguang looked up to the sky and sighed. "But it's fine. At least I avoided a life-and-death battle with the Xiahou family. Sigh, I've lived for so long, but I can't compare to Xiahou Ling in terms of calmness."
Zuo 'er tried to ask, "Do we still continue the deal with Niu Youde?"
Ying Jiuguang said, "Yes. We were targeted by Master Qing from the beginning and fell into his trap. We had to suffer this loss even if we didn't want to. If we don't get the evidence back, are we going to let Master Qing continue to suppress us? As long as we get most of the evidence back, even if Niu Youde has some secrets in his hands, he can't do anything to me. If he really dares to do anything, I will make the accusation that the eastern army was robbed! "
Zuo 'er nodded. She understood what he meant. If Niu Youde had too much evidence, it wouldn't make sense to say that Niu Youde came here to rob them. How could Niu Youde's one hundred thousand men kill so many of your elites? If Niu Youde didn't have enough evidence, he could totally frame them.
The next day, the sun rose in the east. Outside the majestic gates of King Ying's residence, Ao Fei, Wang Yuanqiao, Kong Han, Lu Pingfang, and Wu Jinhuan stood in a row with their heads slightly lowered. Ao Fei's expression was the ugliest.
They had already been notified and were waiting for His Highness to receive them.
A series of footsteps came from the gates. The five looked up and saw Ying Jiuguang personally leading a group of people out. He was dressed in a royal robe and had a majestic aura.
The five of them felt sad. Was he going to punish them if they didn't even let them in?
Who would have thought that Ying Jiuguang, who was on the steps, would suddenly let out a hearty laugh. He quickly walked down the steps and walked to the center of the five of them. He turned around and grabbed Ao Fei's wrist with one hand and Wang Yuanqiao's wrist with the other. He laughed and said, "Everyone, you've worked hard. Let's go. I will personally host a banquet to reward you!"
Ao Fei and Wang Yuanqiao, who were being dragged away, looked at each other. They didn't know if it was true or not. The other three also quickly followed.
They didn't dare to believe it until the luxurious pavilion was filled with bejeweled liquors, delicious food, and beautiful dancers sang and danced. Ying Jiuguang repeatedly raised his cup and invited them to drink.
When the banquet ended and the five of them were rewarded generously, Ying Jiuguang even admitted in public that it wasn't the five of them who were in the wrong, but he, Ying Jiuguang, himself. Only then did the five of them realize that it was true. They finally realized that His Highness was broad-minded. They were instantly overwhelmed by the favor and quickly knelt down on one knee. They were extremely grateful.
Seeing that His Highness was talking and laughing as if nothing had happened, Zuo 'er, who was standing to the side, complained inwardly. Ten thousand trillion Basic Immortal Pills was not a small number. It wasn't that the Ying family couldn't afford it. The key was that they had to do it in a short period of time without affecting the consumption of others. This was a little stressful. Now, the major stores under them were purchasing in large quantities, causing the supply of Basic Immortal Pills in the market to be a little tight. Now that His Highness had waved his hand and rewarded these five a lot, the pressure increased even more.
However, that person from the Heavenly Palace was not satisfied with the situation. He had secretly sent people to spread rumors that the shortage of Basic Fairy Pills was about to enter a period of shortage. Yet, there were still people who believed such nonsense. In addition, the large amount of money spent here had indeed made the purchasing of the Basic Fairy Pills a little nervous. Immediately, it caused people to scramble to buy the Basic Fairy Pills. Under the situation where the supply could not meet the demand, the price of the Basic Fairy Pills was raised by several times.
Moreover, the Xiahou family also joined in and deliberately caused trouble. Not only did they increase the pressure on the purchasing of the Basic Immortal Pills, but they also had to pay double the price.
There was a time limit to the deal with Niu Youde. He couldn't let it drag on forever. Even if he didn't want to pay, he had to pay.
As for the condition of the deal, he had to release the people from Juxian Hall first and hand over the Basic Immortal Pills. Only after completing these two conditions would he be willing to hand over the corpses. Only when his position in Celestial Avenue was confirmed would he be willing to hand over the hostages.
The sky was high and the clouds were clear. The azure sea was blue.
The army had returned from the Netherworld Governor's Office. With Yun Zhiqiu in the lead, several women were waiting outside the gates of the Governor's Office.
When Miao Yi and the others landed, Yun Zhiqiu smiled and bowed with the women.
When Xue Linglong saw Xu Tangran standing beside Miao Yi, she immediately covered her mouth. She didn't want to cry in front of the Lord Governor because her husband had repeatedly told her not to be rude in front of the Lord Governor. However, tears were already streaming down her face, blurring her vision. Xu Tangran's eyes were also filled with tears, but he pursed his lips and held them back.
The women glanced at Xue Linglong and sighed inwardly. When news of the battle at the Black Dragon Lake spread, everyone knew that Xue Linglong was the most worried. However, under Yun Zhiqiu's suppression, no one dared to contact the people at the Black Dragon Lake. It was a matter of life and death. A man would fight a bloody battle outside, and he didn't want to drag his family down with him.
Yun Zhiqiu and Miao Yi clasped hands together. A hint of heartache flashed across her eyes as she looked at Miao Yi, but it quickly disappeared. She let go of his hand and stepped aside.
Miao Yi turned around and grabbed Xu Tangran's arm, pulling him to Xue Linglong. He smiled and said, "Linglong, I brought your man back alive for you."
Xue Linglong immediately broke down in tears. "Thank you, Lord …"
Miao Yi didn't dare to claim credit for himself. He looked up to the sky and sighed, "He was bought with the lives of nearly forty thousand of our brothers!"
Xue Linglong immediately knelt down in front of the generals and kowtowed repeatedly. "Thank you … Thank you …"
The generals were terrified and quickly got up. However, to everyone's surprise, Xue Linglong's hat fell off as she kowtowed, revealing her bald head. Her long, beautiful black hair was nowhere to be seen.
"This is …" Miao Yi was stunned.
Yun Zhiqiu sighed softly. "After the army set off, Little Sister Linglong shaved her head and sincerely kowtowed to the heavens in order to pray for Deputy Lieutenant Xu. She knelt even when she was moving, and only just now did she stand up to welcome us. Perhaps her sincerity really moved the heavens!"
Xu Tangran lost control of himself when he heard this. He no longer cared whether the Lieutenant was around or not. He knelt on the ground and hugged Xue Linglong, who was kowtowing incessantly, tightly. He held her bald head against his face and couldn't close his mouth. Silent tears flowed down his cheeks.
Kneeling on the ground, Xue Linglong held on tightly to his clothes, refusing to let go.
Everyone couldn't help but sigh at the sight. The generals also knew that Xu Tangran's hair under his helmet looked like it had been bitten by a dog as well. The women covered their mouths, and even Yun Zhiqiu turned her head to the side with tears in her eyes.
Miao Yi turned to Yang Zhaoqing and gestured for the troops to set up their defenses. His armor clattered as he strode inside with a taut expression and pursed lips.
Yun Zhiqiu wiped away her tears and gestured to the handmaidens behind her.
