It was supposed to be a place for weddings, but now it was heavily surrounded by soldiers. Furthermore, the groom was killed by his future father-in-law on the day of the wedding. While such a thing was not unheard of in the world, it was still regrettable.
The courtyard was still decorated with lanterns, but the atmosphere was not the same.
The people in the courtyard chatted among themselves. It was just that they had temporarily lost their freedom. At first, it was a little chaotic, but when the forces behind them told them that nothing would happen, everyone treated it as a rare experience.
At first, everyone talked about the groom's death and the fight between Pang Guan and Hao Defang. Later, when they heard that the Netherworld Army had come to their aid, everyone guessed the outcome of the fight between the two.
Now, when they heard that Hao Defang fell for the trap and that Niu Youde was actually Pang Guan's reinforcement, it caused an uproar. Everyone said that Niu Youde was bold enough to defy the imperial decree!
No one dared to defy the imperial decree. Putting aside the fact that the feudal vassals had their own troops, it would not end well to disrespect the emperor in public. None of the Heavenly Kings would do it openly, but Niu Youde did. Everyone gathered in twos and threes, guessing what would happen to Niu Youde.
'Huang Fujun?' Y and Guang Mei 'er gathered together. They were not in the mood to talk, but were secretly worried about Miao Yi.
They had never participated in such a big battle, nor had they held such great military power. The decisions of those men who stirred up the world and caused a storm of blood were sometimes beyond their comprehension.
At that moment, there was a commotion outside. The troops surrounding the courtyard had actually withdrawn.
Just as everyone was about to go out to see what was going on, another wave of troops surrounded them again. This time, it was Mai Zi who appeared. She floated in the air and surveyed the area.
Many people recognized Mai Zi, as well as the other generals of the Netherworld troops. The surrounded guests immediately became lively again.
"It's the Netherworld Army!"
"Is Niu Youde here already?"
Everyone looked around, but Miao Yi was nowhere to be seen. 'Huang Fujun?' Y and Guang Mei 'er looked at each other.
Outside the courtyard, Su Qingquan met up with Miao Yi after withdrawing his troops. He smiled and cupped his fists, "Governor, it must have been hard on you for such a long journey."
Miao Yi smiled faintly and said, "We are one family. How are the hostages inside?" He was a little worried about Huang Fujun. He was a little worried about Huang Fujun.
"It's fine. Behave yourselves." Su Qingquan casually replied, "I'll leave this to the Governor. I'm going to lead some people to the Marshal's side to lend a hand."
"Alright!" Miao Yi nodded, cupped his fists, and watched as Su Qingquan led his men away.
From this moment on, he had officially taken over this group of hostages. For his plan, it was necessary to control this group of hostages in his hands. This group of people had brought a lot of guards with them. Once they lost control, it meant that a large number of people outside would also lose control.
As for the reason, Miao Yi told Pang Guan that he didn't want to meet Hao Defang face to face.
Pang Guan could understand this. After all, Niu Youde and Hao Defang were allies. It would be a little awkward to meet Hao Defang face to face. There was no need to be yelled at by Hao Defang again in front of everyone. Being ridiculed for betraying an ally wasn't something to be proud of. It was fine as long as Niu Youde was willing to help.
And Miao Yi did indeed send some men over to support them.
At this moment, Cha Ruyan's joyful cry suddenly came from behind, "My dear son-in-law!"
Miao Yi turned around and saw the Pang Residence's guard commander, Xiao Pingbo, leading a group of people to protect Cha Ruyan and her family. The Pang sisters were also present, as well as Pang Guan's concubines. When Pang Xiaoxiao saw that her man had indeed come to help, her face was filled with joy and a little shyness.
The word 'dear son-in-law' stunned Pang Yuniang for a moment. Pang Guan's concubines were also stunned, thinking that they had misheard.
In fact, it was Pang Guan's idea to meet them now. At this point, Pang Guan wanted to make his relationship with Miao Yi public. It would more or less intimidate the other forces, and also stabilize the morale of his troops. If Pang Guan hadn't spoken up, Cha Ruyan wouldn't have dared to publicly reveal this secret.
Many people on the Netherworld's side were also stunned.
With a smile on his face, Miao Yi cupped his fists towards Cha Ruyan, who was walking over quickly, and said, "Greetings, Mother-in-law!"
"We're a family, no need to be so polite!" Cha Ruyan quickly stepped forward and personally helped Miao Yi up. She grabbed Miao Yi's wrist and was extremely affectionate. Of course, she didn't forget to ask, "Dear son-in-law, is Hao Defang's power gone?"
Miao Yi nodded and said, "Hao Defang's elite reinforcements have all been annihilated by me. Hao Defang's death is only a matter of time. Otherwise, I wouldn't be here."
"Good, good, good!" Cha Ruyan was instantly overjoyed. She didn't know that there would be many things to do after Hao Defang was annihilated. She only knew that since Hao Defang was defeated, then her man would definitely become the Heavenly King, and she would be the Princess. At this moment, she looked at Miao Yi from head to toe, finding him pleasing to the eye no matter how she looked at him.
Miao Yi felt a little uncomfortable being grabbed by a woman in front of everyone. Didn't her subordinates all look at him strangely?
Miao Yi couldn't help but cough dryly, and looked towards Pang Xiaoxiao, "Xiaoxiao is here."
Cha Ruyan immediately let go, and beckoned to Pang Xiaoxiao who was behind her, "Damned girl, hurry up and greet your husband."
Pang Xiaoxiao bit her lip. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, she walked forward with a slight bashfulness, and half knelt as she said, "Your servant greets Langjun!"
She also knew that from today onwards, her relationship with Niu Youde would officially be made public.
Miao Yi stepped forward to help her up, and grabbed her hand in front of everyone, not letting go. He then smiled at Cha Ruyan and said, "Mother-in-law, do you dare to witness Hao Defang's destruction with your own eyes?"
When Cha Ruyan heard this, she was a little hesitant. She was a little afraid to see the bloody scene of the great army slaughtering each other. However, since Miao Yi had said it in front of everyone, and there was still a group of despicable people watching from behind, how could she back down? She immediately nodded and said, "Alright!"
And so, the group flew away. Before they left, Miao Yi gave Huang Li a look, signaling him to keep an eye on this place.
When he came to the starry sky and saw the commotion from afar, Miao Yi couldn't help but secretly admire Hao Defang. He was actually still fighting like a cornered beast, and was still able to persevere.
However, it was not hard to imagine that at this point, those who could survive by Hao Defang's side were the absolute elites who had been eliminated.
And Hao Defang had indeed thrown caution to the wind. From the moment he could no longer contact Yin Xu's troops, he knew that there was a high chance that the entire army had been wiped out. He completely gave up on the last glimmer of hope he had, and once again personally led his troops to attack. They weren't trying to break out of the encirclement, but to entangle Pang Guan's troops and kill them. Once the enemy loosened their grip, they would definitely suffer the collective shooting of the Transcendence Bow.
At this time, the remaining few hundred thousand people were tightly clinging to each other within the great army of millions. They would not give the enemy any chance to divide and annihilate them. They charged forward recklessly, repeatedly forcing Pang Guan's army to retreat several times.
Pang Guan couldn't do anything to these people. If he were to shoot them now, he would have to kill his own people as well. He was a little afraid of harming the innocent. He had a large number of troops, but he couldn't put them to good use.
On the other hand, Hao Defang and the others had completely thrown caution to the wind. They were fighting with their lives on the line, with the attitude that killing as many as they could make a profit. They wouldn't surrender, and no one carried Hao Defang's back to surrender. As expected of Hao Defang's trusted subordinates.
Seeing Miao Yi and the others appear, Pang Guan was a little surprised when he turned around to look. 'Didn't Niu Youde say that he didn't want to meet Hao Defang? Why are they here? '
He mistakenly thought that it was Cha Ruyan's idea to ask Niu Youde to help out of goodwill. Niu Youde couldn't refuse her.
Pang Guan cursed silently. 'Isn't this stupid woman trying to embarrass me?'
Pulling Pang Xiaoxiao along, Miao Yi suddenly increased his flying speed, shaking off Cha Ruyan and the others behind him.
Cha Ruyan and the others were about to catch up, but they didn't expect a group of troops to cut in, immediately separating them from Miao Yi.
At this moment, the entire Netherworld Army suddenly appeared, surrounding Pang Guan's army of millions and the Hao Faction's desperate troops.
Behind them, Cha Ruyan and the others were also surrounded by the troops that had suddenly appeared.
"Get ready!" Heng Wudao roared as he invoked his arts.
The Netherworld Army drew their Transcendence Archery Bows and aimed at everyone who was surrounded.
The Pang Residence's Imperial Guard Commander, Xiao Pingbo, was very vigilant. He quickly led his troops to protect Cha Ruyan and the others.
Cha Ruyan asked in surprise, "What's wrong? What's wrong? What's going on? "She was surprised that the weapons were pointed at her own people.
"Langjun!" Pang Xiaoxiao turned around in shock, not knowing what was going on.
Miao Yi ignored her. He held onto her hand and didn't let go, silently watching both sides being surrounded.
The atmosphere on the battlefield instantly became strange.
Hao Defang also noticed that something was wrong. She quickly pulled Su Yun and retreated to the remaining troops to protect them. She gestured to her own troops and looked at Miao Yi with a puzzled expression. Her sharp senses told her that something unexpected had happened. Perhaps this might be a chance for her to turn things around.
Both sides gradually stopped fighting and looked at the Netherworld Army that had surrounded them in confusion.
Pang Guan, who had been vigilant for a while, suddenly stared at Miao Yi and shouted, "My dear son-in-law, what is the meaning of this?"
Miao Yi quietly looked at him for a while. Suddenly, he invoked his arts and shouted, "The Netherworld Army is under His Majesty's command to exterminate the traitors!"
This voice instantly pulled him back from the act of resisting the decree to the act of obeying the decree.
Pang Guan pointed his saber at Miao Yi and shouted, "Who is the traitor?"
Miao Yi didn't answer. He could feel Pang Xiaoxiao looking at him, and the soft hand in his hand was trembling.
Pang Xiaoxiao was indeed looking at him with fear in her eyes.
Cha Ruyan and the others were also staring at him with wide eyes.
Miao Yi was indifferent and expressionless. He tilted his head and gestured to Bluemoon.
Bluemoon waved her hand, and the troops surrounding Cha Ruyan and the others opened up a path. She then rushed to Pang Guan's side.
"Master, what … what's going on?" Cha Ruyan asked anxiously. She was proud of her son-in-law just a while ago. Why did he suddenly scare her?!
At this moment, Miao Yi slowly said, "Marshal, you and I are in-laws. Don't force my son-in-law to make a move. It's better if you let the brothers below put down their weapons and let them live!"
Pang Guan's chest heaved up and down rapidly. He said angrily, "I will not go back on my word about the Mao Road territory. Everyone here can be my witness. If I go back on my word, may the heavens and earth destroy me!"
He could only try his best to salvage the situation. The troops before him were mostly exhausted. How could they resist the Netherworld Army? Once they started fighting, no one would be able to save him in time.
Miao Yi said, "If I want the Mao Road territory, I will take it myself. Besides, my son-in-law has many brothers under him. They have suffered in the Netherworld for so many years. It's time for them to come out and see the world. The Mao Road territory seems to be a little small. The Southern Army territory is just right!" These words were announced openly and domineeringly!
