The Duke of Guang replied with a 'hmm', then coughed twice, almost choking to death. He turned around and blurted out, "He agreed?"
The music stopped. The mother and daughter looked at each other, not knowing what had happened to make the Duke react so strongly.
The Duke of Guang also realized that he had lost his composure and looked at the mother and daughter.
Gou Yue did the same. Of course, he couldn't say it in front of the mother and daughter like the Duke did. He continued to transmit his voice and told them about Miao Yi's contact just now.
The Duke of Guang changed his tone and asked, "Do you think it's true or false? Could it be that he already knew that he was going to be destroyed and that's why he gave in? "
Gou Yue replied, "It's possible. But didn't the Duke say that the news hasn't spread yet?"
Hearing this, Guang Ling Gong immediately became depressed. If it wasn't for the fact that he had admitted defeat after knowing the news, then he had indeed been too hasty in handling this matter. Attacking Niu Youde would definitely eliminate some future troubles, but he wouldn't be able to obtain any benefits. Secretly recruiting Niu Youde under his command would bring him too many benefits.
But now that things had come to this, it was hard to turn back. He was the one who started this. If he went back on his words, it would be easy to expose his intentions and make people suspect him. It would be meaningless to recruit Niu Youde again. Moreover, he had already started such a big thing, he couldn't easily suppress it. Who knew what Niu Youde was thinking. Moreover, he could also eliminate the forces in the Nether Realm.
Most importantly, he had already made his move on Heaven's Street. If Niu Youde begged him to suppress it, it would be too late.
After thinking it over, the Duke of Guang shook his head, "It's too late."
Gou Yue understood his meaning and took out the Star Bell to reject Miao Yi. He then passed on Miao Yi's message, "Niu Youde said that he understands the Duke's intention, but he still hopes that the Duke will consider it carefully. He will wait for the Duke's message."
"It's too late!" The Duke of Guang shook his head lightly. He didn't know if Miao Yi was sincere or not. What if it was true? He regretted not confirming it a few more times because he cared too much about his reputation. Perhaps Niu Youde was also worried about his reputation at that time, and was worried that if he agreed too quickly, something would happen.
The more he thought about it, the more vexing it became. In any case, he was a little depressed by Miao Yi and lost the mood to listen to the music …
Qing Zhu was avoiding Xiahou Chengyu because Xiahou Chengyu wanted to … Spinning dumplings and reeling badgers? Desert Cistanche Orifice Twilight Flower Apricot Sheet Joyful Anger? New Year's Eve? Embarrassed Chen Chongchu? Alliance? Gu Mo dares to do this?
Shangguan Qing didn't dare to stop them once he heard that it was a serious matter. After notifying Master Qing, he brought Xiahou Chengyu to meet Master Qing, who was pretending to be cultivating.
No matter how important Miao Yi's matter was, she couldn't hold back her anger after she finished talking about it, and brought up Zhan Ruyi's matter again. "Your Majesty, the place where Zhan Ruyi is being held is a beautiful place. Who knows how many sisters in the palace have fallen in love with it? Even I am moved. Why don't I give up the Heavenly Valley Palace to Zhan Ruyi and let her stay there?"
F * ck! This woman is doing it again … Shangguan Qing hurriedly lowered his head and pretended not to hear anything. He wondered why this woman was so untactful and did not stop.
Qing Zhu's face darkened. "Why don't you give her your position as the Empress?"
Xiahou Chengyu instantly became like an enraged tigress. She raised her head and puffed out her chest. She glared at him and said forcefully, "Fine! Your Majesty, please give the decree. I will not complain! "
Qing Zhu slammed the table and stood up. "You think I don't dare?"
Xiahou Chengyu immediately rushed in front of him and said angrily, "Your Majesty is the ruler of the world. There is nothing that Your Majesty does not dare to do. Your Majesty, please give the decree immediately!"
Shangguan Qing broke out in a cold sweat. Ever since the incident with Zhan Ruyi, it was as if the Empress had eaten gunpowder. She had completely thrown away her timid and cautious side in front of His Majesty. Whenever she saw His Majesty, she would fly into a rage and dare to act forcefully. No one in the entire harem dared to provoke her anymore. To be more precise, everyone in the Heavenly Palace was afraid of her.
Qing Zhu was so angry that he trembled. He pointed at her and said, "You … You … Fine. You asked for it!"
Xiahou Chengyu said angrily, "That's right. I shamelessly asked for it. Your Majesty, please give the decree!"
It was unknown who the word 'shamelessly' was referring to. Shangguan Qing quickly interjected between the two. "Empress, now is not the time to argue. Niu Youde is about to be destroyed. Dealing with this matter now is the most important thing!"
Hearing this, Xiahou Chengyu's anger was finally suppressed. She swung her sleeves and strode away. At the same time, she said, "I will wait for Your Majesty's decree. If Your Majesty does not give the decree, then you are not a man!"
Shangguan Qing broke out in a cold sweat again.
"…" Qing Zhu was instantly seething with anger. He pointed at Xiahou Chengyu's departing figure and shouted, "Fine, We will do as you wish!"
Shangguan Qing felt very helpless in his heart. He found out that Qing Zhu was just calling her out. How could he cripple the Empress for the sake of a traitor's granddaughter? If he really did such a thing, it would be a big joke. It was unknown whether the Empress would be crippled, but Zhan Ruyi would definitely not live. If Qing Zhu wanted to protect Zhan Ruyi, he would not dare to touch the Empress on this matter. Not to mention that Defeating Armies and the others could not accept it, the Empress also had people in her family.
The most helpless thing was that the Empress could always put everything on Zhan Ruyi's head. No matter how His Majesty criticized the Empress or scolded her, the Empress would immediately think that His Majesty was doing it for Zhan Ruyi. Even if His Majesty smiled, the Empress would suddenly say, "Looks like that slut in the Cold Palace has served His Majesty well." How could His Majesty endure this!
But to Shangguan Qing, he did not know if it was an illusion. Instead, he felt that the two of them did not seem like husband and wife in the past. They were too distant and distant. Only now did they really seem like husband and wife.
Who would have thought that Lord Qing would turn around and vent his anger on him? Pointing at Shangguan Qing, he scolded, "What exactly is going on? An army of four hundred million is going to besiege the Netherworld Governor's Manor. Even I didn't know about such a huge matter. How did Niu Youde know about it in advance? Could it be that my information network is inferior to that of Niu Youde? What the hell are you people doing? "
Shangguan Qing quickly nodded and bowed, "This old servant will go investigate right away."
"Also …" Lord Qing was almost roaring in his ear, "In the future, you are not allowed to bring this shrew here without my permission!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Shangguan Qing nodded repeatedly. He thought to himself, 'She was only brought here because you agreed to it!'
He wanted to contact Yang Qing, but he felt a little awkward. After all, Yang Qing had advised him before, but he did not listen.
After hesitating for a while, he still took out the Star Bell and contacted Yang Qing. He informed him of the situation, hoping that Yang Qing would have a good solution. Now that things had come to this, he could no longer care about the awkwardness.
In order to let Yang Qing have a complete grasp of the situation and make a decision, he did not hide the fact that he had rejected Guang Mei 'er.
Yang Qing, who was used to living in his loft, looked out the window and smiled bitterly. What should he say?
He told Miao Yi not to cause any unnecessary trouble. Miao Yi had caused trouble for the Vitality Sect when such a huge matter was brewing. Was it worth it for Bao Lian? 'Now you've caused a headache, and the Vitality Sect is in trouble as well. Those who don't know what your relationship with Bao Lian is like. It would be hard not to think that you and Bao Lian have an unusual relationship. How is she going to get married in the future?
'Even if it was for Bao Lian, did you really have to kill Gao Yan at that time? 'You can't blame Long Xin for this. If you hadn't given the order to kill him, Long Xin wouldn't have done such a thing. In the end, Lord Guang made a move.
'If you hadn't angered Lord Guang earlier, he might not have kept a close eye on you. He might not have taken the opportunity to force you to marry his daughter off. After all, Lord Guang might not have wanted to stir up trouble after such a huge incident. 'So what if you agreed to marry Lord Guang's daughter? You have a lot of women. You don't mind marrying one more. You should stabilize the current situation first. We can talk about the future later. Why did you have to anger him so many times in such a short period of time? Do you really think he's a pushover?
'Forget about changing the plan later. Now, don't even think about getting into a conflict with the Xiahou family to divert the pressure. The Xiahou family can't be bothered with you anymore. Someone else will come to deal with you. Naturally, the plan to seize control of Heaven's Street was also broken. You wanted to use the Vitality Sect to open up another path of wealth. Let's see how you do that now.'
After some thought, Yang Qing shook the Star Bell and asked, 'What do you plan to do, Master?'
Miao Yi: 'If there's no other way, I will bring my men and retreat to the Quiet Spring.
It's impossible for him to escape now. '
Yang Qing: 'That's not a bad idea. However, I don't know how many spies from different forces are involved in this. Once something happens, I'm afraid we won't be able to defend against such pressure. It's better not to use it unless it's absolutely necessary. '
Miao Yi: 'Do you have any good ideas?'
Yang Qing: 'My idea might not work. I want to take a gamble.'
Miao Yi: 'I'm willing to listen to your advice!'
Yang Qing: 'Master, either you withdraw your men from Heaven's Street and wait for an opportunity, or you just continue doing what you're doing and pretend you don't know what's going to happen. Both methods are to wait and see. The former method can minimize the losses as much as possible. The latter, if the situation is favorable, can protect our current interests. I feel that there might be an unforeseen event that will benefit us. '
Miao Yi immediately asked, 'What unforeseen event?'
Yang Qing: 'I can't explain it clearly now. It's just a guess. That's why I said I want to take a gamble. Let's see if Master is willing to bet or not.'
Miao Yi: 'Do you think Master Qing will make a move?'
Yang Qing: 'I hope so. Once those families decide to join forces, I'm afraid even Master Qing will have to be wary. As long as there's a suitable excuse, Master Qing might not make a move.'
Miao Yi: 'What are the odds of winning the gamble?'
Yang Qing: 'It's a fifty-fifty chance. Master, you still have to be prepared to retreat to hell.'
After the two of them discussed for a while, Yang Qing sighed and turned to sit on a recliner at the side. His face was full of worry.
Qing Ju approached and asked, "What's wrong?"
Yang Qing let out a bitter laugh and explained the general situation to him.
Qing Ju asked curiously, "What does Master want to bet?"
Yang Qing frowned and muttered, "I'm betting that someone will make a move!"
Qing Ju asked, "Who?"
