Text Chapter 1192: Collusion

Amid the deafening roar, Miao Yi smiled, waved his hand, and put Heitan into the beast bag. He turned his head to look at Baolian, who had stuck her head out of the moon gate to check because of Heitan's roar, and walked over with his hands behind his back and asked, "Have Fuqing and the others arrived?" Baolian hurried over and followed him, saying, "Wait in the main hall." Miao Yi said "hmm" and continued to move forward. Baolian couldn't help but ask, "Are you going to take the assessment, sir?" "What do you think?" "Please think twice, sir." "There's nothing to think about. I'll be back soon. When I'm away, work hard to improve your cultivation, and I'll give you a promotion when I come back!" Baolian hesitated to speak, and finally said nothing. After following Miao Yi for so many years, she has become accustomed to Miao Yi's word. "Greetings to the commander-in-chief!" As soon as Miao Yi appeared in the main hall, Fuqing, Ying Wudi, Xu Tangran, and Murong Xinghua came to pay homage together. There was also another person, Xu Tangran's subordinate Su Li! Su Li was obviously a little nervous. Miao Yi raised his hand to indicate that there was no need to be polite, and his eyes fell on Su Li, asking, "Are you Su Li?" The other people looked over, especially Murong Xinghua. Su Li said nervously, "I am Su Li!" Miao Yi smiled and nodded, and then said to the other four, "While I am away for the assessment, everyone should take care of the affairs in their respective territories. The affairs of the entire Tianjie will be decided by the four of you. If you can't make a decision, you can report it to the Donghua General Town Office." "Yes!" Fu Qing, Ying Wudi and Xu Tangran all agreed. Murong Xinghua suddenly raised her eyes to look at Miao Yi. She couldn't say she was surprised, but she had a premonition. She slowly turned her head to look at her three colleagues who were not surprised at all. It was obvious that the three of them had known something for a long time. In fact, she also realized some problems. Since the last time Cao Wanxiang of the Donghua General Town Office did something, she felt that Miao Yi was reserved about her, and often summoned the other three commanders for something without her. "There's nothing much to say, so let's just leave it at that. Su Li. We're going the same way, let's go together!" Miao Yi said as he strode past the group, and Su Li followed him. The group quickly followed, and Xu Tangran told Su Li, "Su Li, take good care of the adults on this trip. If you neglect me, I'll hold you accountable." "Yes!" Su Li responded. The group followed him out of the palace, bowed and saw him off, watching Miao Yi lead Su Li to fly towards the city gate. After the figure disappeared, the group looked at each other and sighed, and suddenly heard Murong Xinghua snort coldly, "Did you three know that the commander-in-chief was going to take the test?" Fu Qing and Ying Wudi said nothing. Xu Tangran laughed dryly, "In fact, I just found out about it not long ago." "Really?" Murong Xinghua sneered, "Someone in the city set up a bet on whether you will participate or not. I heard that Commander Xu ordered people to buy a lot of money secretly. I guess he will make a lot of money this time, right?" Fu Qing and Ying Wudi looked at Xu Tangran coldly after hearing this. "..." Xu Tangran was speechless for a while, and then he said angrily, "Who told you that? It's not true." He couldn't help but be anxious. The commander-in-chief didn't go far, and Xingling could call him back with a casual shake. The commander-in-chief could take his life at any time. What if the commander-in-chief knew about this? He didn't mean anything else, but he knew the inside story and thought that there was no reason to miss the opportunity to make a fortune. In case his future was worrying, he would have more money to sit on the bench. He didn't do it directly, but arranged Huang Xiaotian to do it. The news leaked, which meant that something went wrong with Huang Xiaotian. In fact, the gambling game was set up in Murong Xinghua's territory in the North City District. She heard that Huang Xiaotian had made a big bet in the casino. It happened that she knew the relationship between Huang Xiaotian and Xu Tangran. If Huang Xiaotian had not received any accurate information, how could he place a big bet, so he lied. This time, looking at the attitudes of Xu Tangran and the other two, it was indeed 100% certain. Murong Xinghua did not mean to embarrass Xu Tangran, but just wanted to confirm it. Now it was proved that the three people had known about it for a long time, and it also proved that the commander-in-chief was indeed worried about her. She felt a little bit enlightened, and said nothing more, and walked down the steps and left... Donghua General Town Mansion. The meeting point was in the pavilion outside the General Town Mansion. The person who was doing the job happened to be the old man next to Madam Biyue, who was also Miao Yi's former deputy and the former deputy commander of Tianyuan Xingtian Street, Nansong. Seeing Miao Yi leading Su Li to report, Lao Nansong couldn't tell whether he was happy or not. Miao Yi treated him neither well nor badly in the past, and he had given him all the benefits he deserved, but he excluded him from the power and made him and Gong Yufei into decorations, so he didn't smile when they met again. Miao Yi was sensible. When he saw it was him, he flicked a storage ring into his hand and smiled, "Manager Lao, it's been a long time since we last met. How are you?" Lao Nansong secretly checked the contents of the storage ring, smiled, and said, "The commander-in-chief is here." Miao Yi nodded, "I'm here to report. This is Su Li, the centurion under Xicheng District." He introduced Su Li. Lao Nansong smiled, took out the list, and said, "Don't blame the commander-in-chief. We have to verify his identity in a fair and impartial manner." "Of course." Miao Yi smiled back. After he and Su Li both took out the assessment ultimatum and handed it in, and used the seal to compare it to prove that it was not a fake, Lao Nansong accepted the ultimatum and pointed to the new large manor at the foot of the mountain and said, "Grand Commander, after the assessors come to report, they must all move in together for easy supervision, in case of accidents that are difficult to explain to the superiors. However, all ten of you commanders have your own courtyards. This is a special care personally instructed by the general. Gong Yufei will temporarily take charge of the manor. After the commander moves in, you can find Gong Yufei if you have any questions.

"Miao Yi looked back at the manor and asked, "Have the other nine commanders signed up?" Lao Nansong smiled and said, "The commander knows the consequences of not participating. This is a last resort." Miao Yi asked again, "How many people from the Donghua General Town Office are participating in the assessment?" Lao Nansong said, "There are about two thousand people. Almost all of them are here." I didn't expect so many people to not fear death! Miao Yi was silent for a moment and turned back to Su Li and said, "Go to the manor and find my yard first. You don't have to squeeze with others. Live with me. I'll go to see the general and come back to find you." "Yes! "Su Li agreed. Lao Nansong immediately ordered someone to escort Su Li to take over, and at the same time ordered someone to report to the general mansion. Miao Yi waited for a while, and the person who came said that the general mansion wanted to see him, so he and Lao Nansong bowed and left quickly. In the mansion. When he saw Madam Bi Yue again, there was an obvious gap between the two. Both sides maintained the courtesy of respect and inferiority. The Madam Bi Yue who used to pick flowers for Master Miao was gone, and she was very polite. After chatting for a while, Miao Yi said goodbye. Madam Bi Yue personally sent someone to see him off. When they arrived at the manor at the foot of the mountain, the person who saw him off took Miao Yi to the manor. After handing it over to the guards who were guarding the manor, he left. The newly built manor was new everywhere. To be more precise, it was built rather roughly, without even the most basic vegetation. After all, it was a temporary place to stay for one or two months. He rushed out after the number of candidates for the assessment was confirmed. Many people signed up at the last minute. The person who received Miao Yi was a lieutenant general named Li Huantang. He could be said to be an old subordinate of Miao Yi. It was just that he was stationed in the city palace and was not under his jurisdiction. Now he had no fear of Miao Yi. He pointed to the innermost courtyard of the ten courtyards in a row and said, "Niu Youde. That's your courtyard." It would be fine if he didn't have a good face, but he dared to call him by his name. Miao Yi looked up and down at Li Huantang. He asked, "Where is Gong Yufei?" Li Huantang pointed to the ground, as if he had eaten gunpowder. He shouted rudely without any grudges, "Niu Youde, you need to understand where this is. No matter what the identity of the people who come here was before, they are all candidates for the examination now. Can you see the palace manager whenever you want? "Miao Yi immediately took out the Star Bell to contact Gong Yufei, but Gong Yufei didn't respond at all. After putting away the Star Bell, he looked around and saw the former Tianyuan Star City Guards' faces showing mockery from near and far. There were also many unknown people who were probably reference personnel who popped their heads out to look here. Miao Yi felt a little depressed. It was obvious that someone wanted to teach him a lesson, and he didn't know if this was Madam Biyue's intention. "What are you looking at?" Li Huantang shouted again: "Do you want to escape? "Miao Yi glanced at him coldly, without saying anything more, turned around and walked towards the courtyard that the other party pointed to, looking around all the way. It was strange, where was Su Li, why didn't he show up, could it be that someone knew that Su Li was his man and did something to Su Li? Thinking of this, afraid that Su Li would get into trouble, he quickened his pace and came to the courtyard. Seeing that the gate was closed, he pushed the door open and went in. The scene that came into view made Miao Yi freeze in place. The courtyard was actually not big, with only one house and a small courtyard. In this environment and this temporary residence, it is impossible to make a large and luxurious courtyard for you. It is already very good for two thousand people to squeeze together and have a small courtyard with a separate door. This is nothing, the key is that there are more than 30 people standing in the courtyard, including several acquaintances. The other nine Tianjie commanders under the Donghua General Town Government are all present, and Su Li is standing among those people. Zhang Hanfang said happily: "Niu Youde, have you come to the wrong place? This is the courtyard where I am staying. "Everyone laughed when they heard the sound, obviously they were playing the same trick they played at the banquet. Miao Yi raised his eyebrows slightly, and understood that Gong Yufei and this group of people were in cahoots with each other and conspired to make trouble for him. Not mentioning this matter for the time being, he walked towards everyone and said to Su Li, "Su Li, are you okay?" Su Li's expression was obviously a little unnatural, his eyes dodged, and he didn't dare to look him in the eye, looking a little guilty. Liu Guiping said cheerfully, "Brother Su, do you know this Commander Niu?" He raised his hand and patted Su Li's shoulder, as if hinting at something. Su Li gritted his teeth, looked up and looked at Miao Yi, and said loudly, "How can I not know him? He is Su's boss in Tianyuanxing Tianjie. He is a despicable villain!" Miao Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze fell on the hand that Liu Guiping patted on Su Li's shoulder, and said, "Su Li, come here, don't be afraid of their threats! "He thought Su Li was forced to say this. Unexpectedly, Liu Guiping pushed Su Li from behind, pushed Su Li forward, and made Su Li keep a distance from them. He then asked: "Brother Su, we don't know much about Commander Niu. I don't know why you say he is a despicable villain?" (To be continued)
