"F * ck me!" Wen Ze screamed. He had already made it clear. He didn't believe that Miao Yi didn't know that this was Lord Qing's will. He actually wanted to kill him!
'Assassination? Assassinate your ancestor? Can't you find a better excuse?
This bastard isn't serious, is he? But then again, this bastard seems to be capable of anything! ' Wen Ze immediately panicked. "Niu Youde, how dare you!"
The group of imperial guards obeyed his orders. There was no need for them to be polite, and they immediately dragged Wen Ze away.
Miao Yi stood there with his hands behind his back, his face expressionless. He silently watched as Wen Ze was dragged away.
Wen Ze's mind was a mess. Suddenly, he thought of something and shouted, "It's a deputy position. I want to be your deputy!"
And so, Miao Yi spoke up again, "Let him finish speaking. Bring him back."
Wen Ze, who was almost drenched in cold sweat, was dragged back again. He stood in front of Miao Yi with his hands and legs tied up, gnashing his teeth in hatred. He still couldn't tell if Miao Yi really wanted to kill him or was just trying to scare him. However, he knew the reason why he had been transferred here. Miao Yi definitely knew as well that none of these feudal vassals would be willing to accept this.
Miao Yi calmly asked, "What deputy position?"
Wen Ze was helpless. Logically speaking, he should have waited until the matter was settled before announcing the decree. However, considering that he still had to stay here in the future, he didn't want to make their relationship too awkward. That was why he revealed a bit of information to Miao Yi in order to maintain a friendly relationship in the future. He wanted to curry favor with Miao Yi so that it wouldn't be too sudden. Who would've thought that this bastard would directly order for him to be executed?
Unable to figure out Miao Yi's true intentions, Wen Ze didn't dare to take the risk. He had no choice but to confess, "I want to be your deputy. The Deputy Governor is here to assist you, not to divide your authority."
Miao Yi finally understood why he had sent someone to replace Linghu Dou Zhong's position. No wonder Wen Ze's attitude was a little different from before. Previously, he was eager to avoid arousing suspicion. This time, he was drinking with Miao Yi and was brimming with enthusiasm.
Miao Yi asked indifferently, "How many are coming?"
Wen Ze was extremely aggrieved. Being transferred out of the sky palaces was supposed to be a joyous occasion. Coming here was much better than staying in the cold and heartless sky palaces. At the very least, he had a lot more freedom. Yet, he ended up being interrogated instead. Stifling his anger, he said, "Half of the people who came with me will leave, and the other half will stay …" Seeing the ominous glint in Miao Yi's eyes, he quickly added, "His Majesty has no intention of seizing power. He has only appointed me to replace Linghu Dou Zhong. The others have not been given specific positions."
Miao Yi didn't ask further about Master Qing's motives. He knew without asking that Master Qing was monitoring his forces. There was no point in getting to the bottom of this. Thus, he changed the topic and asked, "Were you the one who brought Hua Yitian over to cover it up?"
Wen Ze sighed and said, "Yes! I don't want to alert them. "
Miao Yi asked, "Where did you attack Linghu Dou again?"
"He's probably in the Traversing Moon Palace." Wen Ze smiled bitterly. He had been unwilling to say anything before, but now he was forced to say it.
Miao Yi thought to himself, 'No wonder. No wonder you were able to avoid being noticed.' He then asked, "How did you trick Linghu Douzhong into going there?"
Wen Ze's expression turned solemn. "You might as well kill me if you ask this."
Miao Yi's brows twitched. He understood now. Master Qing must have used some underhanded means to hide it, which was why he didn't dare to say anything.
Miao Yi didn't ask any further. He raised his chin slightly and said, "Throw him out. Without my permission, don't let him in!"
"Niu Youde, I am a Heaven's Emissary. How dare you treat me like this …" Wen Ze screamed the entire way, but there was nothing he could do about it. Who asked him to be restrained for not resisting? Then, he was forcefully dragged away and thrown out.
"Hmph!" Miao Yi sneered and walked back with his hands behind his back. He didn't care who was yelling and screaming.
If Wen Ze was just a Heaven's Emissary, then so be it. But he was about to become Miao Yi's assistant. If he was intimidated by Wen Ze's background, then who would have the final say in the future? He wanted Wen Ze to understand, 'It doesn't matter if you're a Heaven's Emissary. From now on, you better behave yourself. You're Master Qing's man. If you piss me off, I'll kill you all the same!'
Miao Yi was no longer the Miao Yi of the past, who couldn't do anything the moment he heard the Heavenly Decree. A feudal vassal naturally had the confidence of a feudal vassal.
As for whether Master Qing was happy or not, it didn't matter. As long as Master Qing wasn't stupid, he should know that there were some positions that not just anyone could sit in. If it weren't for him dealing with the various forces here, would he have been able to create a manor in the Nether Hell? As long as Miao Yi dared to move him away, he would be able to make these tens of millions of troops lose their footing here!
Besides, Master Qing also knew that Wen Ze wasn't loyal to him in the first place. If Wen Ze dared to complain, he could go ahead and do so. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to stay here anymore.
However, Miao Yi felt a little pity for Wen Ze. He was still on friendly terms with Wen Ze. Wouldn't it be great if Wen Ze could just stay in the Heavenly Palace peacefully? Why did Wen Ze have to come here and get involved in this conflict? If things went awry, he might end up standing on the opposite side of Master Qing. If that happened, Miao Yi would have no choice but to get rid of Wen Ze.
In the end, Master Qing still didn't trust him. It wasn't exactly a matter of trust or distrust. These tens of millions of troops weren't a piece of cake. Who could ignore them?
"Wei Shu went to Traversing Moon Palace?"
Inside the Imperial Garden, Master Qing, who didn't want to see the Empress' expression, was hiding in the Li Palace. Upon hearing the report, he furrowed his brows and asked.
Gao Guan followed behind him and said, "Yes. The people planted by the Right Division saw them. They should have met with Li Hua. However, they didn't stay for long before leaving. Outsiders aren't sure what they discussed, so it's hard to verify."
Master Qing seemed to be quite sensitive to the movements in Ten Elements Palace. He immediately turned his head and said, "Shangguan, contact Li Hua directly and see what she has to say."
"Yes!" Shangguan Qing acknowledged and immediately took out his Star Bell to make contact. After a while, he put away the Star Bell and quickly walked into a pavilion. He reported to Master Qing, who was sitting down, "Your Majesty, Li Hua said that Wei Shu is probably looking for trouble with Niu Youde."
"Looking for trouble with Niu Youde?" Master Qing looked at him in surprise.
Shangguan Qing said, "Li Hua doesn't know what's going on either. Wei Shu is talking about the Vitality Sect …" He then reported what Li Hua had said in detail.
Master Qing pondered for a while, then tilted his head and gestured to him, "Have the Left Division verify it."
This verification took quite some time. To be more precise, they waited for a long time. Master Qing seemed to be very patient with the matters of Ten Elements Palace. He sat there unmoving, thinking about something.
When Star Bell replied, Shangguan Qing then reported, "Wei Shu went to the Netherworld Governor's Manor to look for Niu Youde because of the Vitality Sect. Niu Youde tricked Xia Hou Ling and took the opportunity when he was working with Xia Hou Ling to remove the Vitality Sect from the grocery store. Niu Youde initially promised Xia Hou Ling that he would allow the Vitality Sect to return to the grocery store. However, there was a conflict between the two of them and he went back on his word. Not only did he not allow the Vitality Sect to return to the grocery store, he even gathered all of the Vitality Sect in his own territory on Planet Yiyue to protect them. Wei Shu's actions are probably to force Li Hua to kick the Vitality Sect out."
Master Qing nodded slowly. The outline of the matter was clear in his mind. He couldn't help but sneer, "What a dog biting another dog."
Shangguan Qing tried to say, "Your Majesty, this old servant knows a thing or two about this. The Vitality Sect controls the grocery store's business channels. Without them, I'm afraid the grocery store's business will be difficult to do! Seeing how Niu Youde controls the layout of Celestial Street, I'm afraid he will have to start anew. When that happens, he will definitely force the grocery store to collapse. Now that the grocery store is in Xia Hou Ling's hands, he will be held accountable by all the shareholders. Xia Hou Ling will be under a lot of pressure. "
Master Qing tilted his head and looked at him, "You seem to be very concerned about this. Tell me, how much of the grocery store do you own?"
Shangguan Qing raised two fingers, "The Great Ensemble has twenty percent of the shares there. The profits are quite generous, and fifteen percent is handed over."
Master Qing asked, "How many people have shares in it?"
Shangguan Qing replied, "Quite a few, just more or less. This is the old rule. Everyone will keep an eye on the profitable business. Without the various forces being lenient, there will definitely be people looking for trouble in some areas. "
Master Qing scoffed, "Then what are you worried about? Didn't Niu Youde want to start anew? You can just ask him to pay you twenty percent later. "
"Your Majesty is wise!" Shangguan Qing laughed dryly. He knew that Master Qing wanted to see Xia Hou Ling make a fool of himself, but he was muttering in his heart, 'How can it be as simple as you think? Since that idiot can start anew, it is obvious that he wants to make it his own business. He also likes to use brute force, so twenty percent is not that easy to ask for. He is no longer someone who can be bullied by others. Normal threats are useless, and he probably doesn't care about the face of the Great Ensemble anymore. Even if I appear, you and the Empress are in such a mess. Once the Empress appears, you will hide. Isn't that making things difficult for me? Do you think you can force them to give you a share in this matter? You can't even ask for it if your table manners are ugly. '
The silent starry sky was vast, deep, enchanting, and full of mystery.
Wei Shu's lonely figure flew alone in this vast Astral Wilderness. The guards that followed him had already been recalled by him. From time to time, various celestial bodies of various shapes would crash into him, but Wei Shu would quickly dodge and continue forward.
A blue planet appeared in front of him. This was the private planet of the Xiahou Family, hidden in the depths of the Star Territory. Only Xiahou Ta and Wei Shu knew where it was.
Wei Shu's speed did not decrease. Boom, he directly broke through the air barrier, and then he quickly flew in a certain direction.
On a mountain peak that stood at the peak of the sea of clouds, there was a jade palace. Wei Shu directly landed at the entrance, and the guards at the entrance bowed in greeting.
Wei Shu stopped and asked, "Where is the Old Master?"
The guard replied, "He went to the village at the foot of the mountain."
Wei Shu immediately turned around and flew down the mountain.
There was a village by a mountain and a river, a farmhouse with a small bridge and flowing water. The riverside was covered with peach blossoms. Farmers were leading oxen, women were washing clothes by the riverside, and children were running back and forth. Wei Shu's figure walked out of the peach blossom forest outside the village. He walked into the village and stopped outside a private school where the sound of reading could be heard.
A group of young children were holding books, shaking their heads as they read. Behind the long desk, Xiahou Ta, dressed in coarse clothes, was sitting upright, stroking his beard and smiling. Wei Shu stood outside the window, watching, but did not disturb him.
Xiahou Ta glanced at Wei Shu outside the window, but did not pay him any attention. He waited until the students had finished their lessons for the day and collectively stood up to thank the old teacher. Only then did he slowly get up with the support of his walking stick.
