Her attacks sped up as she attacked with all her might.
"Two hundred and ninety …"
As soon as Miao Yi called out, Pang Xiaoxiao suddenly sheathed her sword. She was as still as a virgin.
Miao Yi also stopped what he was doing. Mountains and abysses? He stood straight and tilted his head slightly, saying, "You still have one more move. Why are you stopping?"
Pang Xiaoxiao held her breath and focused. Without making a sound, she quietly extended her sword and slowly pushed it towards Miao Yi's chest.
Under the tempering of the Fiery Star Technique, his body and mind were no longer the same as before. His heart was clear, and everything around him was connected to his heart. Miao Yi revealed a smile.
Pang Xiaoxiao didn't know that Miao Yi was actually more sensitive without using his eyes. It was hard to tell from a distance, but at close range, there was nothing that could escape his senses.
Seeing Miao Yi's smile, Pang Xiaoxiao knew that her scheme had been exposed. She abruptly stabbed out with her sword.
Miao Yi instantly struck out. Two fingers reached out and clamped down on the blade of the sword. With a forceful pull, he twisted the sword and flicked it upwards. He then tore off the cloth and threw it away.
Pang Xiaoxiao staggered over, and then a strong arm had already wrapped around her waist, pulling her into a solid embrace full of masculine aura.
Pang Xiaoxiao lifted her head and saw that her sword artifact had been nailed to the beam of the roof.
When she looked back, her eyes met Miao Yi's. She immediately felt shy and turned her head away. She tried to push him away, but to no avail.
With his arm around her waist, Miao Yi smiled, "Do you admit defeat?"
Pang Xiaoxiao glanced at him. Feeling his strong physique and smelling his masculine scent, her long eyelashes fluttered. She lowered her head and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito, "If you marry a chicken, follow the chicken! If you marry a dog, follow the dog!" As she said this, her cheeks flushed red as though she was drunk. Her heart raced.
Her intoxicated look made Miao Yi's heart beat faster. He decisively carried Pang Xiaoxiao in his arms and walked straight to the bed.
With a flick of his hand, a red dress was tossed away. In the blink of an eye, her delicate body was revealed. There was nowhere to hide.
As a veteran of the battlefield, how could a delicate bud be destroyed? Falling red was not a heartless thing. It was a good night...
The next day, Lin Pingping and Xue Linglong came in to take care of the newlyweds.
Xue Linglong accidentally found a shining sword stuck in the roof beam. She couldn't help but exclaim, "Sir, why is there a sword stuck in the roof beam?"
Pang Xiaoxiao was too embarrassed to show her face. She was actually worried that it would remind others of last night's madness on the bed. As soon as she recalled the ridiculous situation last night where she allowed herself to be plucked, her face flushed red again. She subconsciously hid behind Miao Yi's back, a little afraid to face anyone.
Miao Yi raised his head and realized he had forgotten to take it off. Grasping at the air with his hand, he pulled the sword out and held it in his hand. Then, he pulled Pang Xiaoxiao out from behind him and stuffed the sword artifact back into her hand. He chuckled and said, "Madam Ru is a master of the sword. She couldn't wait to show me last night."
Pang Xiaoxiao immediately reached out and secretly pinched his waist, looking shy.
Lin Pingping and Xue Linglong looked at each other and smiled. Since they were newlyweds, there was no need for them to ask about the fun things that happened in the bridal room.
Xue Linglong invited Pang Xiaoxiao to sit in front of the dressing table and helped her comb her hair.
When she saw Miao Yi's figure in the mirror, Pang Xiaoxiao couldn't hide the affection in her beautiful eyes. However, she was afraid Xue Linglong would notice, so she could only sneak a glance at him from time to time.
She was deeply moved. After a good night, her resentment towards her parents had disappeared. Instead, she thought that even though her parents had other plans, they were truly doing it for her own good and helped her to have a good marriage.
After tidying up, the newlyweds went to Pang Guan and Cha Ruyan's side courtyard to pay their respects.
Seated on the chair, Cha Ruyan saw her daughter's bashful expression. As someone who had been through the same thing, she naturally knew that her daughter had let go of the past.
She then looked at the newlyweds. They were truly a perfect match. Her daughter was incomparably beautiful, while her son-in-law was handsome and had a high status. No matter how she looked at him, she found him pleasing to the eye. She couldn't help but smile and help him up with both hands, "Get up, no need to be so polite!"
Pang Guan stared at Miao Yi expressionlessly. In his heart, he fiercely sent two words to Miao Yi: Bastard!
After that, Cha Ruyan pulled her daughter to the side and said, "Xiaoxiao, you are already married. You can't stay at home. You must be sensible and serve your husband well. Don't be unreasonable. Otherwise, I won't speak up for you …" She was worried that her daughter would throw a tantrum and ruin their plans. This was what Pang Guan had repeatedly told her.
Of course, she also understood that the tens of millions of elites under her son-in-law's control was the time to borrow their strength. Her son-in-law was skilled in battle and was a powerful general. Not to mention defeating a million elites with half a tiger flag, he was able to defeat the five million elites of the eastern army with just a hundred thousand men. He would definitely be a great help to her family!
In the past, when she was thinking of finding Miao Yi for revenge, she couldn't remember. But now, she remembered how powerful Miao Yi was.
The mother and daughter couldn't help but whisper to each other.
On the other hand, Pang Guan and Miao Yi went under the eaves and secretly communicated about the details of their cooperation. With this relationship of marriage, both sides didn't seem to be so cautious in their conversation. They also felt more trustworthy, which made Pang Guan feel that his daughter's marriage was not an injustice.
Pang Guan still had a lot of things to arrange in order to make a big move. In addition, the Celestial Court's Imperial Court was just around the corner. He couldn't stay any longer and was in a hurry to get back.
When they were about to leave, Pang Guan looked at Cha Ruyan, who was holding his daughter's hand as they came out of the house. Cha Ruyan nodded slightly after receiving his instructions, indicating that she had already asked and that they had indeed consummated their marriage.
Pang Guan was slightly relieved that it wasn't fake. If Miao Yi married but didn't consummate their marriage, then he would have to think more about Miao Yi.
As they were about to leave, Cha Ruyan couldn't help but feel a little annoyed at Miao Yi. Only now did she understand why he not only asked her daughter to come, but also her. He had made preparations for the wedding ceremony in one fell swoop since both parents were here!
Thinking of the family coming together, but leaving her daughter here alone, Cha Ruyan couldn't help but plead, "Master, since you said that Xiaoxiao won't be staying for long, she will go home to see us. Why don't I stay here with my daughter and go back with her later?"
Feeling guilty, it was one thing to help his daughter get married, but if he let his daughter stay here for too long, he was afraid that it would cause suspicion if she didn't show up at the Marshal's Mansion for a long time. So Pang Guan and Miao Yi had discussed it. They would let Pang Xiaoxiao stay here for a while and then send her back to the Marshal's Mansion. They still had a long time to live together, so the important matters were more important.
The Marshal's wife also didn't show up, worried that it would cause suspicion. Pang Guan was even more worried that there was no one here who could control Cha Ruyan. How could he not know what kind of person his wife was? When that time came, wouldn't it be exposed if she used her status as Niu Youde's mother-in-law to order people around and run around? So Pang Guan decisively said, "We still have things to do at home. Let's go back together!"
Because she was going to be a Princess, Cha Ruyan's mouth softened a lot. She rarely nagged, but instead grabbed her daughter's hand and gave her a few reminders.
When it was time to send off the newlyweds, they were only sent to the entrance of the inner residence. Pang Guan took the initiative to ask that they not be sent far. At this time, Pang Guan was extremely careful. He had already repeatedly told Miao Yi that Pang Xiaoxiao should not show her face here for the time being.
Watching his cheap father-in-law and mother-in-law leave, Miao Yi stood at the entrance with a dazed look.
Actually, he didn't want to do this, but the situation was like this. Even if he had the support of the Xiahou family, it was very risky to fight for a place in the southern army's territory with only fifty million troops. Even if he succeeded, he would inevitably suffer heavy losses, and he would inevitably have to fight to the death with Pang Guan!
Although he was friends with Pang Guan, it was impossible to convince him to support him in taking control of the southern army's territory. Pang Guan was already Marshal Mao Lu, and his eyes would definitely be set on the position of Heavenly King. If he didn't do anything, why would he take the risk with Miao Yi? This risk was not something that could be compensated for with wealth! Therefore, even if Miao Yi took control of the southern army's territory, he wouldn't be able to reward Pang Guan. In addition, his weak position might even stimulate Pang Guan's ambition to take advantage of the situation and annex him.
In Yang Qing's words, since the risk was too great, he would have to use his wits to reduce the risk. Thus, he once again set up a series of plans. From a certain perspective, marrying Pang Xiaoxiao was a show of weakness, to show that he was worried that Pang Guan would burn the bridge after crossing it, and to reduce Pang Guan's suspicions.
The prelude plan was a success. Next, it was up to Pang Guan to bite off Hao Defang's hardest bone. Originally, it was something that Miao Yi wanted to do with his life, but under Yang Qing's plan, it became Pang Guan's doing!
"Langjun, what are you thinking about?" Pang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but ask as she retracted her gaze and noticed that Miao Yi was a little distracted.
Miao Yi retracted his gaze and looked at her. He grabbed her hand and smiled, "I'm wondering if you still want to practice your sword today!"
Hearing the hidden meaning in his words, Pang Xiaoxiao blushed. She was still feeling unwell from last night, and there was someone else beside her. She muttered, "I'm ignoring you." She pulled her hand out and turned to leave, looking cute as a young girl pretending to be angry.
The worry in Miao Yi's eyes disappeared, and he chuckled as he chased after her.
Yang Qing watched the scene from the half-opened window of a loft, stroking his beard.
Even though Pang Guan had warned him not to let Pang Xiaoxiao show her face here, Miao Yi still brought her to tour the mountains and rivers of this area.
He was most familiar with the deployment of the troops here, so he had Pang Xiaoxiao follow him with a disguise.
Looking at the mountains of clouds and the sea of fog in the morning, admiring the wonder of nine moons in the sky at night, lingering in the sea of flowers, rowing a boat on the blue sea, the ghost market's lights waning, the strange scenery of the quiet spring, welcoming the morning glow, sending off the sunset, and tasting all kinds of delicacies, the two of them were glued to each other for a few days. The smile on Pang Xiaoxiao's face never faded. These were the happiest days of her life. Even in her sleep, there was a sweet smile on her face.
Miao Yi felt guilty that he had purposely made time to accompany her.
During the Heavenly Court's court assembly, the dragons and phoenixes roared in harmony outside the Heavenly Palace, while the officials inside paid their respects.
As he ascended the Celestial Emperor's throne, Lord Qing's cold eyes swept over the officials. He noticed that Xiahou Ling's position was missing one person. It was right under his nose, so it was easy to notice.
"Could it be that Tian Weng is also reorganizing his troops like the Heavenly Kings?" Lord Qing mocked.
Standing below, Teng Fei and Cheng Taize were expressionless. Kou Lingxu and the other two weren't here, but they didn't have to worry about their safety. They weren't as strong as the other three, so they maintained a competitive relationship with them and didn't want to openly offend Lord Qing.
Someone from the Xiahou Clan's faction immediately came out to report, "Your Majesty, Tian Weng suddenly saw the old Tian Weng's will and requested a leave of absence to guard the mausoleum as a show of filial piety. I have already reported this to the Heavenly Palace."
Even though Lord Qing didn't believe it, he couldn't say much about the matter of guarding the mausoleum as a show of filial piety. He only pointed it out in hopes that someone would expose him.
Pang Guan calmly glanced at Xiahou Ling's empty position and sneered inwardly, 'Guard the mausoleum? He probably really went to accompany Xiahou Ta, didn't he? '
Miao Yi's purpose for coming here was to confirm it from another angle. Now that he saw that Xiahou Ling was indeed absent, he felt much more at ease. He could officially begin his plan when he returned!
