"…" Xing Ning was speechless. She naturally noticed that the storage bracelet was filled with Basic Immortal Pills, but she didn't expect there to be so many. Even the Tribe King was shocked. She frowned and asked, "For me?"
She became vigilant in her heart. Was he trying to bribe her for no reason?
Miao Yi shook his head. "It's not for you. It's for the tribe. "
Xing stared at him, speechless.
Miao Yi sighed. "Consider it a gift? A little compensation from the tribe! Of course, I know. The lives of so many tribe members cannot be compensated for with these Basic Immortal Pills, but this is all I can do for now. Consider it a token of my gratitude. When I have the ability in the future, I will repay you generously! "
Yun Zhiqiu felt a headache coming on. Even though she already knew about Miao Yi's decision, it was still … three thousand trillion Basic Immortal Pills! Miao Yi's generosity was a real headache.
It wasn't that she was stingy, but the expenses at home were high. Miao Yi usually didn't care about it and was often generous. She had to go through a lot of trouble to run Tempest Tavern to earn money. She could still remember the days when money was tight after coming to the outside world. She tried her best to support herself and almost asked her family for a loan. Of course, Miao Yi couldn't be stingy, but throwing out three thousand trillion Basic Immortal Pills just like that still hurt her a little.
Xing rubbed the storage bracelet on her hand. She didn't even say a word of thanks. Instead, she asked, "Is there anything else?"
Miao Yi gestured for her to help herself.
Xing took the items and silently left.
Miao Yi watched her leave, then tossed another storage bracelet to Yang Zhaoqing.
"This …" Yang Zhaoqing was a little confused when he saw that the storage bracelet was also filled with Basic Immortal Pills.
Miao Yi said, "Here are four thousand trillion. We will reward them according to the rules. You, Bluemoon, and the others can distribute them to the brothers. Everyone will get something. Those with families will receive compensation, and those without can keep the leftovers for other expenses … I believe the price of Basic Immortal Pills won't go down in the next few years. Don't let everyone run out of supplies." He had run the Morality Sundry Goods Store before, so he knew a little about the trading market in the Heavenly Street. At the same time, he was also a general, so he knew the impact of provisions on the morale of the army.
Currently, the Netherworld Army had about 60,000 soldiers. Four thousand trillion Basic Immortal Pills meant that on average, each person would get more than 60 billion pills. No matter how big the number was, it couldn't be divided by so many people. However, it was still a lot.
"Yes!" Yang Zhaoqing nodded.
As for the remaining 3000 trillion, he had already made other arrangements.
After all, the Six Paths of Reincarnation had put in a lot of effort this time. The Six Paths of Reincarnation also had to take into account the hearts of the people on their side, so they each arranged 200 trillion, which was 1,200 trillion.
Gathering Virtue Hall had suffered a heavy loss this time. When they were captured by the Fourth Army, they killed more than 200,000 people. Thus, 200 trillion was arranged to be used as compensation for their families. For those who were captured and then released, another 100 trillion was given as compensation. Compared to the compensation given to other people, the amount given to Gathering Virtue Hall was a little less. However, the people of Gathering Virtue Hall didn't belong to him alone. The Xiahou family was the main controller behind the scenes, so the Xiahou family had to fork out some money no matter what. Since Miao Yi was able to fork out this amount of resources, he still had to make arrangements to buy the hearts of the people. It was impossible for everyone to get a share.
This time, Gathering Virtue Hall basically only existed in name. It was basically impossible for them to do business openly like before. Even if the Fourth Army didn't care about it for now, they would definitely suppress it after this incident. They wouldn't allow Miao Yi to maintain this source of income. This battle had basically destroyed this source of income.
However, this broken network couldn't be abandoned. There were still so many people, and as long as there were people, they would be useful. This network had to be maintained, even if it was just used to gather information as an intelligence network. Thus, he allocated 500 trillion to Yun Zhiqiu as a maintenance fee. After this, Yun Zhiqiu would naturally arrange for Xu Tangran to take care of it, so Miao Yi didn't have to worry about it.
As for the remaining 1000 trillion, he had to give some to his family members. After all, he had so many concubines, so he had to show some appreciation. At the very least, he had to send 100 trillion to the Heavenly Empress. Although he had told the Heavenly Empress in advance that he would use all of it as compensation, he couldn't really not give her any. Moreover, he had already asked the Heavenly Empress to help him fight for benefits.
The remaining amount was handed over to Yun Zhiqiu to manage.
Aside from Miao Yi personally handling military authority and the overall situation, everything else was left to Yun Zhiqiu. Miao Yi believed that Yun Zhiqiu would naturally be able to sort things out. Even though these were all trivial matters, they were extremely taxing on his energy. With someone like Yun Zhiqiu, who he could absolutely trust, helping him sort them out, it would save him a lot of trouble. He didn't have the energy to take care of such trivial matters right now anyway. There were more important things he needed to think about and do. Since he had already decided on the general direction, he left it up to Yun Zhiqiu to decide on her own. Normally, he wouldn't bother himself with such matters either. Yun Zhiqiu would naturally help him think things through, and she would also have the means to keep things under control. Miao Yi never had to worry about this.
In the Tian Mi Palace, on the bed, Qing Zhu flipped over and got up. Xiahou Chengyu, whose body was slightly concealed, quickly got up as well. He pulled a robe and quickly put it on, then knelt down on one knee to help Qing Zhu put on his shoes.
While he was busy with his hands, Xiahou Chengyu raised his head to look at Qing Zhu, whose eyes were slightly closed. In a gentle voice, he said, "It's still early. Won't Your Majesty rest a little longer?"
"Today's court meeting," Qing Zhu said lightly.
"This concubine is muddle-headed." Xiahou Chengyu blamed himself. He got up and supported Qing Zhu's arm to help him up. Then, he went to the side to take a coat and helped Qing Zhu put it on. At the same time, he muttered, "Your Majesty, regarding the matter of the Black Dragon Marsh bandits, Niu Youde's side reported to this concubine again. He wants to ask for Your Majesty's opinion on this matter."
Qing Zhu's eyes, which had been closed all this time, opened a little. He glanced at her and said, "Does this mean that they want to collectively raise their ranks again? How many times has this happened? He's really shameless. Isn't he afraid that others will have an opinion? " However, after he finished speaking, he himself was speechless. The Netherworld Commander Manor was directly under the Tian Mi Palace, and there were no other people under the Tian Mi Palace who had the same authority. He really didn't have to worry about the other armies being jealous and having an opinion.
The words changed in his mouth. "The matter of the Black Dragon Marsh bandits has not been finalized yet. Does he think that he will have a merit just because he says so? Let's see what the court officials have to say first. "
"Your Majesty is right. This Niu Youde is already thinking of a promotion. He even shamelessly boasted that his contributions are enough for him to become a governor in Sky Street." Xiahou Chengyu snorted, but his hands didn't stop.
She had to force herself to say these words. This was Miao Yi's intention, and there was no other reason. He just wanted her to say these words in front of Lord Qing before the imperial court assembly. She didn't have to worry about anything else. Because of this matter, Xiahou Chengyu had shamelessly begged the Green Lord to sleep with him. It could be said that he had done his utmost to make the Green Lord happy. He had come and gone just to say these words. It could be said that he had put in a lot of effort.
When Qing Zhu heard this, he realized that the Sky Avenue Viceroy had already found out about the inside story from Yuan Venerate Qing. This was Ying Jiuguang's compensation condition. Needless to say, he knew what would happen during the court session.
Qing Zhu looked at the woman with waist-length hair before him. Her face was not very good, but her delicate figure was still a little attractive. Her body was faintly discernible under her muslin clothes. Qing Zhu stared at her coldly without saying a word.
Xiahou Chengyu immediately averted her gaze. She became a little nervous and felt the pressure. What made her body stiffen even more was that a large hand was grabbing her breast. It was a little painful, but she tried her best to pretend to be shy. "Your Majesty …"
Qing Zhu's hand slid down from her chest to the back of her waist. Suddenly, he exerted force and pulled her into his embrace. He looked down at her coldly. He wanted to say something, but in the end, he did not say it. He loosened his grip and turned to leave. At the same time, he said, "You don't have to send me off."
Xiahou Chengyu clutched her chest and panted heavily. She had really been scared just now. After calming down, she took out the star bell and contacted Miao Yi, indicating that she had done what needed to be done …
Heavenly Palace. After coming out of the rear hall and receiving the greetings of the officials, Qing Zhu looked down and suddenly chuckled. "Why does it seem like someone is missing? Where did Marquis Ying Wuman go? "
Everyone in the hall looked at each other. They didn't know why Ying Wuman wasn't here.
Standing in the front row, some of the officials who knew the situation were expressionless and indifferent. They looked as if this matter had nothing to do with them, but in their hearts, they knew that Qing Zhu was trying to disgust them.
Qi Linghuan stepped forward and cupped his fists. "Your Majesty, Marquis Ying encountered a problem during his cultivation. He can't come to the imperial court. I have already reported this to Head Steward Shangguan."
"Is there such a thing?" Qing Zhu tilted his head to look at Shangguan Qing.
Shangguan Qing had naturally informed Qing Zhu beforehand. However, he definitely wouldn't let it slip now. He bowed and said, "Your Majesty, there is indeed such a thing."
"Oh!" Qing Zhu nodded. He instructed Shangguan Qing, "Send someone to check on him later."
"Yes!" Shangguan Qing replied.
Standing in the front row, Xiahou Ling was expressionless. However, he was secretly amused. It would be fun if the person he sent over couldn't see Ying Wuman. However, he also knew that as long as the Ying Clan could be a little more shameless, they would definitely have a way to shirk the responsibility. Qing Zhu was purely trying to disgust the Ying Clan.
Qing Zhu, who was looking down at the officials from above, spoke again, "I believe everyone has heard about the incident at the Black Dragon Swamp. Yesterday, the Empress reported to me that Niu Youde had collectively requested for the merit for suppressing the bandits for the Netherworld Army. What do you all think about this matter?"
The group of people below looked at each other, but no one uttered a word.
Marshal Mao Lu, Pang Guan, sighed inwardly. He had already received instructions from his superiors to cooperate with the Ying Clan today. He guessed that the others had also received instructions. If someone stood out now to deny the merit of suppressing the bandits, they wouldn't be able to cooperate with the Ying Clan in the future. It was obvious that Niu Youde had planned this matter beforehand. He really knew how to pick a good time … However, he didn't know how long Miao Yi had been plotting with Yang Qing for this matter.
After waiting for a while and seeing that no one uttered a word, Qing Zhu glanced at the crowd and realized that there was a rare consensus. That monkey had already taken advantage of the situation to come to the imperial court. He calmly said, "If that's the case, then let the Empress handle it herself. Is there anything else, my dear officials? If there is nothing else, then please disperse. I still have other matters to attend to here. "
"Your Majesty!" Lord Qu Lingjun stood out and cupped his fists. "There are many eyewitnesses who can prove that the Netherworld Army had a fierce battle with a large number of bandits and killed many of them. However, we still don't know where the bandits came from. We still need to investigate further. However, there is no doubt that Niu Youde has performed a meritorious deed. There are many eyewitnesses.
