Text Chapter 1258 Reporting From the General Town Office

In a hall, Fan Yufei, Luo Qingzi, Manshan, Lu Dakai, and Jiang Zhongshen, who had returned from the assessment, gathered in front of Xiahou Hucheng and recounted the experience of the century-long assessment.

Although some things were not said in front of Xiahou Longcheng, they were still mentioned in front of Xiahou Hucheng. At least Xiahou Hucheng had to know it, and it was really for your face, the commander-in-chief.

He knew his brother's character and knew that he was capable of doing such a thing. Xiahou Hucheng smiled bitterly in his heart and bowed to the five people, saying, "Thank you for your hard work on this trip. Fortunately, I didn't delay your future. However, my brother has never been well-liked by the family since he was a child. He was only given some of the things left after others had divided them, or he didn't get any at all. Therefore, he developed some habits of being greedy for small gains. I also owe him a lot. I hope you don't take this matter to heart. I apologize to you on behalf of my brother. If there is anything I can help you with in the future, please feel free to ask."

Several people said that this was the meaning of the matter. Hearing this, they bowed together and said, "It's what we should do."

Donghua General Town Mansion, Miao Yi returned here a few months later. He wanted to go back to Tianyuan Star first and then come back here to report, but he received a notice from Madam Biyue on the way, asking him to go to the General Town Mansion first after returning.

Upon learning that all her generals had returned safely, Madam Bi Yue did not neglect them. The person she sent to greet them was not a gatekeeper. Miao Yi bumped into him when he landed in front of the main town's gate. It was none other than Miao Yi's old subordinate, Gong Yufei, his former deputy.

"Madam is waiting inside, please come in!" Gong Yufei's face showed no emotion, and she extended her hand to invite him.

Miao Yi stood at the door without moving, staring at her coldly. When the assessment was held here, Gong Yufei temporarily served as the steward of the manor below, and together with Zhang Hanfang and others, she deliberately humiliated him. Miao Yi would never forget it.

Seeing that he did not respond, Gong Yufei put down her hand and said indifferently: "What? Do you still want Madam to come out and invite him in person?"

It was true that she deliberately joined forces with the other nine generals to humiliate Miao Yi. But she didn't have to be afraid of Miao Yi. Madam Bi Yue was Miao Yi's boss. And she was right next to Madam Bi Yue, what could Miao Yi do to her?

"I dare not!" Miao Yi replied indifferently, and then asked: "Have Zhang Hanfang and the others come?"

Do you think I am your subordinate? Gong Yufei showed a hint of sarcasm at the corner of her mouth, ignored her, turned around and left, as if you can come or not.

Miao Yi narrowed his eyes and stared at the back of the woman. It was not a good thing for him to keep such an ungrateful person around Madam Biyue, if she always said bad things about him in front of her boss. But he really couldn't do anything about Gong Yufei, so he could only follow her in.

Yan Su, Zhang Hanfang, Liu Guiping, Yao Xing, Ding Zequan, Sang Ruyue, Gao You, Lian Fangyu, Rui Fan, the nine Tianjie commanders had actually just arrived not long ago, and they were about half an hour earlier than Miao Yi.

Following Gong Yufei into the main town hall, he saw nine people standing in the hall. When they heard the voice, they all turned back and looked at him. They were afraid of Miao Yi in the purgatory, but they would not take Miao Yi seriously here. They turned their heads and looked around, pretending not to see each other.

"I am General Niu Youde, and I have returned from the assessment in Purgatory. I report to the general!" Walking into the hall, Miao Yi bowed his hands and saluted.

Madam Bi Yue, who was sitting high up, looked at him with a complicated look. The past was vivid in her mind. It would be redundant to say anything now. She could only say that everything was left unsaid.

She wanted to see some reaction from Miao Yi's face, but Miao Yi was very calm, calmer than the Miao Yi she had seen before.

"It's good that you're back." Madam Bi Yue smiled and extended her hand to invite Miao Yi to join the line.

Miao Yi was very conscious. He stood at the end on the right, behind Gao You. Gao You felt a little uncomfortable and worried about being attacked.

Madam Bi Yue glanced at several people. She smiled and said, "Everyone is here. Thank you for your hard work in this century-long assessment."

"It's my job." The ten people said politely in unison.

"I called you here for no other reason than to tell you that the second round of the assessment in Purgatory has already started." Madam Biyue sighed.

Zhang Hanfang and the other nine people were startled. Miao Yi also looked up at Madam Biyue, but his reaction was not great. When he saw the situation in the hinterland of Purgatory, he guessed that the Heavenly Court might do something more, but he didn't expect it to be so fast.

It was indeed very fast, so fast that even Madam Biyue was a little confused and caught off guard. She had just received the news not long ago.

Yan Su clasped his fists in surprise and said, "Sir, I wonder how this assessment will be conducted? You won't throw us in for another test, will you?"

Madam Bi Yue sighed and shook her head and said, "This time the assessment has risen to the realm of Cai Lian. The assessment is for the position of Tianjie General Town, and the difficulty coefficient has also increased. All the places you have surveyed in the previous assessment will be marked out. Those places circled out will not be included in the assessment scope. The assessees can only continue to go deeper or investigate other places, and the assessment time has doubled to two hundred years!"

Seeing her bad mood, everyone looked at each other, and Sang Ruyue tried to ask, "Sir, will you participate?"

Madam Bi Yue smiled bitterly, "The rules are the same as last time, and they are more stringent. I, the general town, can't escape either."

After knowing about this assessment, she really didn't dream of it, and it was said above that even the great commanders below had set an example, so how could the general town retreat? Those who did not participate would be demoted to land and city gods and never promoted, instead of the so-called last time that they would not be promoted within 10,000 years.

She was naturally anxious, and questioned Tianyuan Hou, saying that those who could sit in the position of the general commander had a very good background, so why didn't so many people dissuade the Emperor of Heaven?

Tianyuan Hou told him that Dichen Xingjun was found to have helped the younger generation to falsify the facts, causing the troops of the right supervision department and the purgatory to be besieged by the rebels, killing more than a thousand people, and two generals of the second section were killed in the battle. The Emperor of Heaven was furious! He arrested Dichen Xingjun on the spot at the court meeting, and ordered that Dichen Xingjun and his family be executed and all their property be confiscated. In fact, everyone with a discerning eye knew that there were many people who cheated in this assessment, which delayed the war! No one can say anything about this crime. If it is serious, everyone will lose their heads according to military law. The Emperor of Heaven has the ironclad evidence prepared by Gao Guan in his hand, and he has already shown mercy by not continuing to investigate. Who dares to offend His Majesty at this time? It's almost like she is tired of living.

The key is that Madam Biyue is the wife of Tianyuan Hou. How could the wife of Tianyuan Hou avoid the assessment of the Heavenly Court in the first place? In the future, it will inevitably become a handle for others to attack Tianyuan Hou in the court. Some things will be troublesome when the status is high.

Tianyuan Hou pretended to care about his wife's safety and asked Madam Biyue to just be a land god or city god. He would support her, but Madam Biyue couldn't agree. There was nothing she could do if she made a mistake. She was fine and had done nothing wrong, but she was demoted to be a land god or city god for the rest of her life. What a joke. Who could bear it if she was used to being a general town suddenly became a land god or city god? She would be laughed at to death.

As a last resort, there was no way. Madam Biyue could only prepare to spend two hundred years in the purgatory, learn a batch of assessments, and hide for two hundred years. At that time, at worst, she would not be the general town of Tianjie anymore, and let Tianyuan get her to the local forces to continue to be the general town of the local area. It was better than being a land god or city god for a lifetime. After so many years of glory, she should at least keep her dignity.

After hearing what she said, everyone looked at each other, and probably guessed what Madam Biyue was thinking.

"The higher-ups only gave us three months to make the handover. We will gather at the Governor's Mansion in three months. You are all people who have experienced the test in the purgatory. You are experienced people. I called you here to ask you for some advice." Madam Bi Yue confessed her heart, looked at this and that, and asked with a smile: "I wonder if you can give me some advice?"

Teach? What to teach? Zhang Hanfang and the other nine people looked at each other quietly. They had been hiding in hell for a hundred years and had hardly been anywhere. How could they have any experience to teach the general town master. Their achievements were also obtained by connections, not to mention that their connections and backgrounds were not strong. They barely kept their position as the commander of Tianjie by piecing together their achievements.

Speaking of this achievement, they have to thank Miao Yi for scaring them away from the group and hiding. Otherwise, there are all kinds of possibilities that cannot be explained clearly, and they may not be able to keep their current positions.

Seeing the reactions of these subordinates, Madam Bi Yue knew that what she was worried about had happened. She vaguely guessed it when she learned that the rankings of the nine people were exactly the same.

Madam Biyue looked at Miao Yi again, and saw Miao Yi standing there calmly, not saying anything, and not looking at each other like the others.

It was obvious that it was impossible for anyone to form an alliance with Miao Yi at that time. Madam Biyue saw Miao Yi escape into the depths of the starry sky alone after a bloody battle. Among the ten subordinates, only this one was genuine, not to mention that he was ranked ninth. He must have traveled to many places in the Purgatory Land. He must have the experience of the Purgatory Land assessment.

As for Miao Yi and Xiahou Longcheng having the same ranking, Xiahou Longcheng had been under her for so many years, how could she not know what kind of character Xiahou Longcheng was? It would be strange if that idiot Xiahou Longcheng could get the ninth place. Only people like Miao Yi who had no way out would fight hard in hell.

Zhang Hanfang and others looked at Miao Yi, and their thoughts were the same as Madam Biyue's.

"Don't you have anything to teach me?" Madam Biyue asked again.

Liu Guiping said unnaturally: "We are just trying our luck, I really dare not give random instructions." He also couldn't openly say that his achievements were obtained by fraud.

Madam Biyue sighed: "In this case, you should all go back to your respective territories and settle down as soon as possible. After all, you have been away for so many years, and you have sorted out all the things that need to be sorted out."

"I will take my leave!" After the ten people saluted collectively, they turned around and left together.

Just as he reached the door, he suddenly heard Madam Biyue's voice from behind, "Niu Youde, please stay for a while." (To be continued)
