Yan Xiu agreed hesitantly. Clearly, he was hesitant about Yun Zhiqiu's request to not let Yue Yang know, for he had realized that Zhuge Qing's death was not as simple as it seemed.
Despite the distance, Yun Zhiqiu could sense Yan Xiu's attitude. She put away the Star Bell and leaned against the wall of the pool, her voluptuous breasts protruding from her bosom. Her hair was slanted to one side, and her brows were furrowed in worry.
Having known Yun Zhiqiu for many years, Snow could naturally tell that something was wrong. She wiped Yun Zhiqiu's arm and asked cautiously, "What's wrong, Madam?"
"Ai!" Yun Zhiqiu sighed and explained the cause of Zhuge Qing's death.
Xue Er was also frightened by Yang Qing's methods, but she still asked in confusion, "The other guards were not involved, only Fang Liao was involved. Why did Madam want to charge them with a crime and have them all executed?"
Yun Zhiqiu said bitterly, "I am not capable enough to help you with your ambitions and goals. You need someone as capable as Yang Qing to assist you. Yang Qing plotted and helped Yue Yang borrow the Xiahou Clan's power to establish his own master. By the time Ying Jiuguang reacted, it was already too late. Yang Qing launched a surprise attack and overthrew Ying Jiuguang in one fell swoop, completely eliminating the Ying Clan for Yue Yang. Yang Qing has contributed greatly to Yue Yang's success and will be of great use to Yue Yang in the future! I should not have investigated this matter. Now that I have found this result, can I punish him? Do I want Yue Yang to cut off one of his arms? Putting him to death for such a crime is to show that nothing has been found. Punishing him with the same crime is to reassure Yang Qing and allow him to continue to work for Yue Yang! "
Snow was silent for a while, then asked tentatively, "But is it appropriate to hide this from Yue Yang?"
Yun Zhiqiu narrowed her eyes. "Do you think you can hide it from Yue Yang? Do you think Yan Xiu would hide it from him? If it were you, would you listen to me and not report it? "
Snow pondered for a moment, guessing that Yan Xiu would definitely tell Yue Yang. She could not help but ask, "Then why did Madam ask Yan Xiu to hide it?"
Yun Zhiqiu sighed. "Milord, I'm just trying to let you understand my stance on this matter. I'm afraid that you might act rashly in the heat of the moment, so I'm just giving you some pointers on how to resolve this issue." After saying that, he slowly closed his eyes, allowing the silent Snow to scrub him.
Inside the Grand Assembly Hall, the generals had all dispersed. Miao Yi and Yang Zhaoqing watched Duke Yuan's departing figure, then subconsciously smiled at each other. Earlier, they had both noticed that Duke Yuan was a little absent-minded during the discussion.
"If Yang Qing is right, Cao Man will definitely befriend me when she hears the news. With that, these fifty million troops will be able to establish themselves in the Nether Hell with peace of mind!" Miao Yi jokingly transmitted his voice over.
The situation was very simple. The sudden appearance of so many troops in the Nether Hell posed a huge threat to Cao Man. How could Cao Man sit back and do nothing? She would definitely use the Xiahou family's power to expel them. Miao Yi and Xiahou Ling were already at odds with each other, burning bridges after crossing the river. On top of that, Miao Yi had tricked Xiahou Ling over the matter of the Vitality Sect. Once Xiahou Ling found out that he had been tricked, he would definitely retaliate. Naturally, Cao Man would naturally be on good terms with Cao Man. Now, Cao Man would definitely be wary of Xiahou Ling, afraid that Xiahou Ling would use Miao Yi's troops to eliminate him. If Xiahou Ling wanted Cao Man's assistance in dealing with Miao Yi, Cao Man would most likely think that Xiahou Ling had ulterior motives and wanted him to provoke Miao Yi, push him towards Xiahou Ling's side, and cooperate with Xiahou Ling to eliminate him.
If that happened, Cao Man would definitely not dare to easily expel Miao Yi's troops. Instead, he would try to befriend Miao Yi. This side was very willing to make such a friend.
Looking at it from another perspective, it would not be so easy for Xiahou Ling to completely control the Xiahou Clan's authority. There was nothing to fear from a Xiahou Patriarch who could not mobilize the Xiahou Clan's power, and a disunited Xiahou Clan would not scare anyone. Unfortunately, this was something that only Xiahou Ling's side was aware of. It would be of great use in the future.
Yang Zhaoqing smiled and nodded his head, praising, "Yang Qing truly has the talent to rule the world!"
Once again, the two of them smiled at each other.
The matter of the Xiahou Clan that they had mentioned in front of everyone just now was naturally a two-man act by the two of them.
And just as Yun Zhiqiu had expected, Yan Xiu's message also came at this time. Miao Yi, with a face full of smiles, slipped out of the Star Bell.
Outside the hall, Duke Yuan's expression gradually turned grim as he descended the steps. His footsteps were a little heavy.
Inside the hall, the smile on Miao Yi's face gradually froze. He slowly sat down behind the table, his breathing a little heavy.
After listening to Yan Xiu's report, how could he not know that he had been ruthlessly schemed against by Yang Qing? Yang Qing had actually plotted against him to such an extent that he even dared to lay a murderous hand on his woman. This was not the first time. The last time was against Yun Zhiqiu, and he still dared to do it a second time. How outrageous! This was simply intolerable!
'Bang!' Suddenly, Miao Yi smashed the long table into smithereens. His expression was ferocious, and his eyes were filled with killing intent. He abruptly roared, "How dare you bully me like this!"
Yang Zhaoqing was shocked. 'Everything was fine just now. What's going on?'
He hurriedly asked, "Milord, what happened?"
Miao Yi abruptly turned around, gritting his teeth as he said, "Zhuge Qing's death was Yang Qing's scheme …" He briefly explained the situation.
'This Yang Qing is truly terrifying!' Yang Zhaoqing was secretly shocked. His expression was solemn, and he couldn't help but ask, "Milord, how do you plan to deal with this?"
With a ferocious expression, Miao Yi opened his mouth several times, wanting to say the word 'kill'. However, after repeating it a few times, he still couldn't bring himself to say it. In the end, he slowly closed his eyes, and said word by word, "Do not mention this matter again. Pretend it never happened!"
Yang Zhaoqing furrowed his brows and nodded. He knew why, but he secretly shook his head. He knew that Milord was forced by the circumstances to compromise and swallow his anger. On the other hand, Yang Qing had probably incurred a grudge against Miao Yi. Milord would probably settle the score with Yang Qing sooner or later, and this Yang Qing was truly terrifying. He could truly kill without leaving a trace. Yang Zhaoqing had to be on his guard as well, lest he was used against him and die without even knowing how he died.
After Miao Yi let out a long sigh, he held the Star Bell in his hand and replied to Yan Xiu, 'Do as Madam commands!'
As he finished speaking, he put away the Star Bell and stood up to leave.
"Sigh!" Yang Zhaoqing sighed as he looked at the smashed long table. He guessed that Qin Weiwei had something to do with Yang Qing's actions.
As for Qian 'Er, who was standing guard at the entrance of the rear hall, she saw Miao Yi striding out with a grim expression. He didn't even bother to pay his respects to her, and simply walked off into the distance. She didn't know what had happened, so she quickly followed after him.
Miao Yi went straight to the bathroom where Yun Zhiqiu was bathing. Naturally, no one stopped him from entering.
Soaking in the water, Yun Zhiqiu and Xue 'Er both turned around in shock.
Miao Yi quickly tore off his own clothes, tossing them aside as he walked. Without another word, he jumped into the water and pulled the naked Yun Zhiqiu out of the water. Ignoring Yun Zhiqiu's attempts to stop him, Miao Yi forcefully pushed her onto the shore. Then, he propped up Yun Zhiqiu's thigh and charged straight in like an enraged beast.
Following behind him, Qian 'Er and Xue' Er, who were standing in the water, were both dumbfounded.
Unable to bear to watch, Qian 'Er quickly turned around and left. Xue' Er also hurriedly went up to the shore. After putting on her clothes in a hurry, she ran off with a red face …
Middle Constellations Palace. Yan Xiu kept the Star Bell with one hand and the Soul Summoning Banner with the other. His sinister gaze swept across the crowd of muddle-headed people.
Not only had Yun Zhiqiu said so, even Miao Yi had spoken up. Naturally, Yan Xiu had nothing to worry about.
His figure flashed like a phantom, weaving in and out of the crowd as fast as a chaotic shadow. In the end, his figure came to a stop on the steps outside the grand hall.
One by one, bloody lines appeared on the necks of the people inside the grand hall. One by one, they spat out blood as they clutched their necks in agony. One by one, they fell to the ground, twitching. Not a single one of them was spared.
On the steps outside the grand hall, Yan Xiu slowly raised his sinister, lifeless face. He placed a sharp, bloodied fingertip into his mouth and slowly sucked away the blood. Then, with his sleeves hanging down, he lightly walked down the steps and walked out of the Star Palace's gates.
Li Mojin and the others who were waiting outside the palace looked over. Yan Xiu walked up to them and stopped for a moment. With a hoarse and sinister voice, he said, "These people have failed in their duties and failed to protect Zhuge Qing. The Madam is furious and has already given the order to execute them all!" As soon as he finished, his figure flashed as he shot through the sky and left.
"…" Everyone in the Exquisite Refinement Sect looked at each other.
Li Mojin abruptly turned to look at the palace, then quickly left. The disciples of the Exquisite Refinement Sect followed suit.
In the end, everyone stopped at the entrance of the grand hall. Smelling the stench of blood, they looked at the pool of blood still flowing on the ground, and the people lying in it. They were all speechless.
What shocked Li Mojin was that even though Yan Xiu had made a move against so many people, they didn't hear anything from outside.
The situation was quickly reported to the Boundless Heaven. In the flower pavilion of the inner residence, Qin Weiwei was silent for a long time after receiving the news. Finally, she slowly turned her head to look at Qin Xi beside her. "Mother! Tell me the truth. Is Zhuge Qing's death really unrelated to you all? "
Qin Xi smiled bitterly. "Didn't I already tell you?"
Qin Weiwei's gaze was solemn. "Yan Xiu isn't someone anyone can order around. If there wasn't something fishy, why would the other side send him to inquire about Zhuge Qing's life?"
Qin Xi spread out her hands. "How would I know? Weiwei, you seem to be hoping that we have something to do with Zhuge Qing's death! "
"I hope I'm just overthinking it!" Qin Weiwei sighed. She stood up and left the pavilion, dragging her long skirt behind her. Her gait was elegant, and her shoulders were steady and unmoving. She thought back to the heroic posture she had when she rode her dragon steed and galloped unhindered. Far away!
With no one else around, Qin Xi, who was sitting alone, heaved a sigh of relief. She took out her Star Bell and contacted Yang Qing. "The matter should be over. Yan Xiu probably didn't find out anything. He said that the guards were negligent and blamed them for not looking after him well. Yan Xiu personally executed them all."
Holding the Star Bell in his hand, Yang Qing, who was standing by the window of the loft, frowned. "Executed them all?"
Qin Xi: "Yes! It's all good now. There's no need to think about silencing Fang Liao in the future. As you wish, I advise you to do less of such things in the future. "
Yang Qing, however, urgently asked: "Details! I want to know the details! "
As he wished, Qin Xi contacted Li Mojin, asked him about the details, and told him.
After learning the details, Yang Qing pondered silently for a while. Suddenly, he looked up at the sky and let out a long sigh. The Star Bell in his hand replied: "The matter has most likely been exposed!"
Qin Xi was shocked when she heard this. "Are you thinking too much? How was it exposed? "
Yang Qing: "Silly! Let me ask you. Against so many people, why didn't Yan Xiu help out? Instead, he had Li Mojin and the others wait outside the palace? "
Qin Xi: "Perhaps he didn't want their dirty laundry to spread, or perhaps he didn't trust Li Mojin and the others."
