Miao Yi raised an eyebrow. "Just because I'm bold doesn't mean I have to do stupid things!"
Su Yun chuckled. "Are you trying to find an excuse for yourself, Governor?"
Miao Yi's smile deepened. "Are you mocking me? Fine. It's easy to find out if I'm bold or cowardly. If you're bold enough, then say it again! "
Su Yun looked at him with a smile. She understood the meaning behind Miao Yi's words. If she dared to say it again, he would either kill her, or there would be no room for discussion, or … Miao Yi's extremely hostile gaze fell on her chest, causing her heart to tighten.
"This way, Governor!" Su Yun turned around and extended her hand to lead the way. She swallowed her words of using her authority to create a favorable atmosphere for negotiation. After all, she wasn't here out of spite.
Miao Yi walked beside her with his hands behind his back. The two of them walked side by side, slowly strolling on the plaza under everyone's gaze. As for Su Yun's two subordinates, they were still pressed down like shrimp.
"This place is a little small, but the environment is pretty good." Su Yun looked around. Seeing that Miao Yi wasn't saying anything, she went straight to the point. "I heard that Governor wants to attack the southern army?"
Unexpectedly, Miao Yi replied, "That's not true. It's just a rumor."
"…" Su Yun tilted her head to look at him. If that was the case, then there was nothing left to talk about. This made her heart sink even more. She was worried that Miao Yi would fight no matter what. It wasn't that Hao Defang was afraid of Miao Yi's men, but she was more worried that Lord Qing was stirring up trouble behind the scenes. She came here personally to understand the situation, so she had no choice but to continue leading the topic. "I already know about Governor Niu's order to attack."
Miao Yi casually admitted, "So what if we fight? So what if we don't?"
Su Yun said, "Fighting won't do you any good."
Miao Yi said, "It's better than waiting for you to attack."
Su Yun said, "What Governor Niu heard is a rumor."
Miao Yi said, "There are some things that everyone knows. If Steward Su is just pretending, then there's no need to talk."
Su Yun chuckled. "Actually, Governor Niu doesn't want to fight either. You're just trying to take advantage of the situation, right?"
Miao Yi asked, "Why do you say that?"
Su Yun said, "If you really wanted to fight, then you wouldn't have met me.
Miao Yi replied, "I don't want to negotiate with you. I just want to see you. If it were someone else, I wouldn't have met them."
Su Yun was confused. "You want to see me?"
Miao Yi said, "I heard that Steward Su's beauty is unparalleled, and even Heavenly King Hao Wang fell head over heels for her. How could I miss out on such an opportunity to interact with such a beauty?"
Su Yun's face turned cold. She didn't like this kind of joke. She sneered, "Governor Niu, do you think it's funny to joke with an old woman like me?"
Miao Yi looked her up and down. "You're not old at all. You've taken good care of yourself."
Su Yun looked ahead calmly. "Governor Niu, let's not beat around the bush. Just tell us what benefits you want."
Miao Yi asked, "Are you telling me not to send troops to cause trouble?"
Su Yun didn't say anything, which was a tacit agreement.
Miao Yi replied, "No problem! As long as Heavenly King Hao Tian agrees to one condition of mine, I won't send troops. "
Su Yun smiled faintly, thinking that it was as she expected. She said, "Speak!"
Miao Yi said, "I only have one condition. You stay!"
Su Yun teased, "You're afraid that Heavenly King Hao Tian will come after you, so you want to keep me as a hostage?"
Miao Yi replied, "Wrong! Be my concubine. As long as Heavenly King Hao Tian gives you to me as a concubine, I won't send troops to cause trouble! "
Su Yun stopped in her tracks and said with a cold expression, "Governor Niu …" She thought about the purpose of her visit and held back her anger in the end. "This condition won't do. Change it to something else."
"My men can't touch the Sky Street within the southern army's territory. I want to maintain control over the Sky Street within the southern army's territory. Of course, I won't touch your Highness's interests in the Sky Street either. The planet outside the exit of the Netherworld is not bad. Let me have it. Heavenly King Hao Tian has to promise that he won't send troops to the Netherworld in the future. At the same time, he has to promise that he won't let anyone else cross the border and attack the Netherworld. "
"This isn't just one condition, it's a few."
"Then you can stay and be my concubine. To me, this condition is better than the others. I just don't know if Steward Su is worth this price in His Highness's eyes."
Su Yun finally understood. This bastard's words were just an excuse to take advantage of her. It would be strange if he liked her. The last few conditions were what he really wanted.
Since the conditions were stated, Su Yun was relieved. It was fine as long as it wasn't a real fight.
However, Su Yun couldn't make a decision on these matters. She contacted Hao Defang on the spot to ask for instructions.
Miao Yi didn't want to cause trouble, and Hao Defang didn't want to cause trouble at this time either. Hence, there was nothing to bargain about and they quickly settled on it.
As for Su Yun herself, Miao Yi couldn't let her go for now. He had to keep her as a hostage. He had to wait until Hao Defang made a public announcement to the world before he would release her. Otherwise, he couldn't trust her words. After all, Miao Yi didn't have the ability to keep her in check after the incident.
With Su Yun as a hostage, Miao Yi first contacted the Sky Street and officially announced to the world that the Netherworld Army's intention to attack the southern army was a rumor.
As soon as Miao Yi's announcement was made, Hao Defang also made a statement through the Sky Street, stating that the southern army's intention to attack the Netherworld Army was also a rumor. Both sides belonged to the Heaven Court and were close neighbors. Their relationship had always been harmonious and friendly, so they wouldn't attack each other. They also wouldn't allow other forces to use the southern army's territory to attack the Netherworld Realm. In order to dispel the rumor, the southern army supported the Netherworld Governor's Office's control over the Sky Street. At the same time, they gave up their jurisdiction over a planet.
Both sides didn't want to delay, so they acted quickly.
Hao Defang breathed a sigh of relief after stabilizing the rear.
Miao Yi naturally didn't have to keep Su Yun captive anymore, so he released her without hesitation.
At this point, the threat to the Netherworld Realm was officially resolved. As for how long the announcement would last, that was a matter for the future. At the very least, it would be effective for a period of time.
At this moment, the generals of the Netherworld Governor's Office finally understood why the Governor had mobilized his troops and assumed the posture of attacking the Southern Army. It turned out that he was using offense as defense to protect the Land of the Netherworld and the interests of the Land of the Netherworld. The troops who had escaped a calamity calmed down, and they naturally trusted Miao Yi's orders a little more. Wen Ze, in particular, felt a weight lifted from his heart.
In the Li Palace, Lord Qing scoffed, "Our Governor Niu really knows how to take advantage of the situation."
In the Broad Heavenly King's Office, Duke Guang Ling sat quietly in a single room with a gloomy expression. He realized that after all the trouble he had caused, Niu Youde still managed to escape a calamity. This made him very angry, but now wasn't the time to argue about this. He couldn't spare any energy either, so he had to focus on the Undying Wood for the time being.
Kou Lingxu stood silently in the pavilion with his hands behind his back. He shook his head and sighed, "It's no coincidence that this kid has come this far!"
In the starry sky, the battle against Chang Hongmei and her sisters was still ongoing. Reinforcements arrived one after another, and over a million of them charged forward.
The various forces gathered here. Some wore the Celestial Court's standard armor, some wore non-standard armor, and some wore casual clothes.
As more and more troops arrived, not only did the battle not weaken, but it also became more and more intense.
An unknown force of over ten thousand people in casual clothes charged into the battle formation of the Imperial Guards without fear of death. Their strength was not weak.
While the two sides were fighting, a general of the Imperial Guards took advantage of the chaos and flicked out a storage ring. The cultivator in casual clothes who was fighting with him waved his hand and accepted it.
Soon, this group of people in casual clothes could not withstand the fierce attack of the Imperial Guards and were forced to retreat.
The Imperial Guards continued to charge forward in a frenzy. Most of the people in casual clothes continued to chase after them, and a small portion of the injured people gave up the chase. After watching the various forces chase after the Imperial Guards, the man in casual clothes who seemed to be injured and quietly accepted the storage ring straightened his bent waist. He looked at the corpses floating in the starry sky, then turned around and transmitted his voice, "Let's go!"
They looked around before quickly flying into the depths of the starry sky.
A day later, under the eaves of the Li Palace, Qing Zhu had his hands behind his back with his eyes closed. Wu Qu put away the Star Bell on the side and cupped his hands, "Your majesty, the people have been brought outside the palace."
Qing Zhu's eyes suddenly opened and he revealed a smile, "Bring them in."
Soon, Chang Hongmei's group of three appeared in their line of sight. Defeating Armies gave an inaudible sigh. In order to successfully bring these people here, the Imperial Guards had to cover up the fact that they had already left, so they still fought with their lives on the way. It was unknown how many people had been sacrificed.
For the longevity of a single person, countless lives had been lost.
The surrounding environment was very beautiful, like a fairyland. There were coiling dragons and flying phoenixes, as well as celestial soldiers and generals everywhere. Vision Domain experts could be easily seen. The three sisters looked around in fear, not knowing where they had been brought.
Seeing the people standing on the steps, they all had extraordinary auras. When they reached the bottom of the steps, they were stopped and cupped their hands towards the steps, "Your majesty, the people have been brought."
Your majesty? The three sisters were shocked. Looking at the man in gorgeous clothes, they didn't know if they had heard wrong. In this world, the only person who could be called 'Your majesty' was the Sky Emperor. Could this person be the Sky Emperor?
Thinking about the environment here, the coiling dragons and flying phoenixes, the three sisters became even more terrified. Could this be the legendary Heaven Palace?
Shangguan Qing already shouted, "How dare you! Why aren't you greeting His Majesty the Sky Emperor! "
The three sisters' minds buzzed as they looked at Qing Zhu on the steps with wide eyes. Was he really the Sky Emperor?
They almost subconsciously knelt down in fear as they said in a trembling voice, "Your majesty!" They didn't dare raise their heads.
Qing Zhu waved his hand for the officer to leave. He seemed to be in a good mood and seeing the three sisters' nervousness, he walked down the steps step by step. He walked in front of the three girls and said with a faint smile, "No need to be nervous, stand up!"
Shangguan Qing and the others on the steps also walked down.
The three sisters trembled as they climbed up, not daring to look up.
Qing Zhu asked, "What are your names?"
"Chang Hongmei … Zhuo Xianglian … Duan Aier …"
The three girls trembled and their voices also trembled.
Qing Zhu slowly said, "I heard that you have a hairpin made of Undying Wood, are you willing to give it to this one to take a look?"
Zhuo Xianglian immediately took out the hairpin and offered it up with trembling hands.
