Text Chapter 1706: An Old Friend Comes to Surrender

Miao Yi remained silent and did not comment on this.

Seeing his reaction, the amazement on Yun Zhiqiu's face gradually disappeared, and she raised one eyebrow, "I seem to understand a little now."

"Hmm?" Miao Yi came back to his senses and looked at her, "Understand what?"

Yun Zhiqiu said bluntly: "You didn't communicate with Yang Qing about the matter of Juxiantang not because you didn't think about communicating with him. In fact, you know very well that he is a very suitable person to discuss with. It's not the reason you said. You are deliberately avoiding him, or you are jealous that he is smarter than you. You want to prove that you can do some things without Yang Qing."

Miao Yi was stunned, and then laughed: "Madam, it's a fallacy. Do I need to compete with him?"

Yun Zhiqiu snorted coldly: "You are competing with yourself."

Miao Yi's expression twitched slightly, and then smiled bitterly: "Am I so intolerant in the eyes of Madam?"

Yun Zhiqiu's eyes flashed, and the serious expression on his face suddenly became playful. He blinked his eyes, "What, can't you take a joke?"

Miao Yi rolled his eyes, but he was inexplicably relieved in his heart.

Yun Zhiqiu also deliberately changed the topic and brought it back, "Yang Qing's plan is simple and difficult, how do you plan to do it?"

Miao Yi nodded slowly, "Let me think about it."

Just then, Xue'er appeared outside the quiet room and reported: "My lord, there are guests."

The couple walked out of the quiet room, and Miao Yi asked: "Who?"

Xue'er: "Murong Xinghua."

"Uh..." Miao Yi was stunned, wondering why Murong Xinghua ran to this ghost place. He didn't think Murong Xinghua came to see him. Not to mention that it would be a bit embarrassing to see him again when he didn't go with him back then, and he offended the Ying family so badly. Although the grudges are temporarily put aside now, Murong Xinghua and Cao Wanxiang are after all hanging out with the Ying family. It is not right to come to see him.

While thinking about it, who knew that when he turned around, he found Yun Zhiqiu looking at him with suspicion, making it seem like he and Murong Xinghua had done something shameful. He added, "My relationship with her is very simple."

Yun Zhiqiu's face changed so quickly, and he said with a smile: "I didn't say anything, why are you explaining? If you want to explain anything, go on. I'm listening."

Xue'er pursed her lips beside her, as if she was trying to hold back a laugh.

Unable to stand this woman, Miao Yi coughed dryly, put his hands behind his back and walked away, "I'm going to meet the guests."

Yun Zhiqiu said lightly. "I haven't seen her for a long time. Let's go and see her together. Do you mind?" Regardless of whether Miao Yi agreed or not, he followed.

The living room still retains the traces of Buddhist style. Murong Xinghua, wearing a black dress, looks the same as before, with the same face. Qian'er politely put the tea aside without touching it, but looked around. This was her first time to the Ghost City General Town Mansion, especially the famous new general town mansion. She was somewhat curious.

Before coming, after hearing the origin of the new General Town Mansion, Murong Xinghua secretly sighed and found that Lord Niu was still in the old style, making some noise wherever he went. Dizang Temple and the General Town Mansion had always kept to themselves, but after this person came, he actually replaced one and blatantly cheated others.

When the couple appeared from the back hall, Murong Xinghua quickly stood up and saluted. "Sir, Madam."

"We are all old acquaintances, and you are not my subordinate now, so there is no need to be so polite. Just treat it as old friends reminiscing about the past, sit down!" After Miao Yi extended his hand to invite him to sit down, he also sat down in the main seat side by side with Yun Zhiqiu who smiled and nodded to greet him.

After all, they hadn't seen each other for a long time. Murong Xinghua was a little reserved after sitting down, but he still said a few polite words, "I said goodbye to you in Tianjie that year. I didn't expect that after so many years, you have already ascended to the position of the general town. The speed of promotion is amazing." "Haha, don't say polite words. You can come here. You may have heard about my situation. I am hanging on half-dead. The general town is just a decoration." Miao Yi laughed at himself for a while, and then said with interest: "Let's talk about you. How are you now? How do you have time to come here?" Speaking of his current situation, Murong Xinghua smiled a little far-fetched, "My situation is embarrassing. Cao Wanxiang divorced me." "..." Miao Yi and Yun Zhiqiu were stunned. They looked at each other. Yun Zhiqiu tried to ask: "What's going on?" Murong Xinghua smiled faintly and said, "It's nothing. After I left Tianjie, I became the leader of the local troops under Cao Wanxiang. With the face of Mrs. Cao Wanxiang, I lived a good life. Later, there were changes in the Heavenly Court, and Tianyuan Hou was dismissed. Cao Wanxiang, as a confidant of Tianyuan Hou, was somewhat implicated and was supposed to be purged together. Fortunately, Tianyuan had some acquaintances in Ying Tianwang, and Tianyuan barely saved some confidants, including Cao Wanxiang, and was transferred to another place in the Northern Army. Naturally, I was also taken there. Although Cao Wanxiang avoided being purged, his position was slightly downgraded from the general to the deputy general, which was a blessing in disguise. Later, Cao Wanxiang met a distant relative of the above marquis, um, a woman, and the two fell in love." Miao Yi frowned. After hearing the latter, he could guess what the situation was. Yun Zhiqiu looked angry, "Just because of a distant relative of a marquis, you were divorced?"

Murong Xinghua smiled bitterly: "He has his own plans, and we can't blame him. After all, he is not under Tianyuan. There are strangers around him, and he has no one of his own. As soon as he went there, he squeezed out other people's positions, so his life was naturally not going well. Marrying that woman can get in touch with the Marquis, which may help his future. With a little in-law relationship with the Marquis, at least other people dare not make things too difficult for him. And I squeezed out Cao Wanxiang's original wife at the beginning, so what qualifications do I have to say about others? Maybe this is the retribution I deserve. What's more, Cao Wanxiang did his best to help me in the end, and promoted me to the deputy commander-in-chief before divorcing me. We talked about it calmly before, and I have no complaints. He also said that if he can make a comeback, he will not leave me alone, and will find a way to take care of me, but... since we have already separated, I don't think there is any need to be involved in the future. That would be bad for both me and him. There is no benefit. His new wife is not a good person either. After all, she has the background of a marquis, so it is understandable that she is a little willful. "

Yun Zhiqiu said angrily: "I have seen Cao Wanxiang before. He looks short and thick. How blind must the relative of the marquis be?"

Murong Xinghua smiled and said: "Madam is right, but the other one is even more unsightly, otherwise it would not be Cao Wanxiang's turn to curry favor with him."

Although she said so, only she knew the pain in her heart. No matter what shameful things happened to her during the assessment in the Land of No Life, Cao Wanxiang was her first man in the true sense after all. She was taken by Cao Wanxiang when she was a virgin, and she followed Cao Wanxiang for so many years. She didn't go with Miao Yi because she wanted to live a good life with Cao Wanxiang. It had nothing to do with Cao Wanxiang's appearance. She just wanted to live a down-to-earth life. Now she has been abandoned by Cao Wanxiang. She knows the taste in her heart.

Yun Zhiqiu, as a woman, was angry for a while, but soon calmed down. She knew that there was nothing to say about this kind of thing, and it was normal. Regardless of gender, there are countless people in the world who give up everything for the future, not just Cao Wanxiang. Besides, it is not her turn to take care of other people's family affairs, so she can only sigh.

Who would have thought that Murong Xinghua would stand up and bow to Miao Yi who was sighing secretly, saying: "Murong is now alone and has no worries. I heard that you are short of manpower here. I wonder if you are willing to take me in? Murong is willing to return to your command and serve you!"

In fact, after breaking up with Cao Wanxiang, she wanted to come to Miao Yi. Among the people she knew, Miao Yi was the one she admired and trusted the most. However, due to some other emotional factors, she did not want to be looked down upon by Miao Yi. In addition, because she did not follow Miao Yi that year, she felt it was inappropriate to come to him when he was at the peak of his popularity. That would not even be icing on the cake, so she had to give up the idea. Who knew that after these years, Miao Yi's situation took a sharp turn for the worse. She also heard about the recent rumors, so she resolutely came to him.

When these words came out, Miao Yi and his wife were stunned, and then they were slightly moved. They believed that Murong Xinghua had also heard about Miao Yi's current situation. When even Juxiantang could not recruit people, he was willing to sacrifice his future and come to this dark place. It can be said that it was a bit like sending charcoal in the snow.

Miao Yi hesitated and said, "Of course I welcome you with both hands, but will you let me go?"

Murong Xinghua said, "Cao Wanxiang will be embarrassed if I'm there, and Cao Wanxiang's wife is not a good person. People between me and others will also be embarrassed because I'm Cao Wanxiang's ex-wife. It's not good to offend them, and it's not good not to offend them. If I leave, there will be a vacant position. I'm sure everyone is eager for me to leave, so there shouldn't be any problem. As long as the adults are willing to take me in, Murong will go back and take care of this matter immediately."

Miao Yi tilted his head and glanced at Yun Zhiqiu. He wanted to take me in, but he was worried that Yun Zhiqiu would misunderstand something.

Yun Zhiqiu seemed to have guessed his thoughts, and smiled and said: "It seems that I have to congratulate you for getting another trusted subordinate."

Miao Yi then sighed and said: "In this case, as long as they are willing to release the person, there will be no problem on my side. But I declare in advance that my relationship with the Ying family is not very good, so it is inconvenient for me to come forward for you, otherwise it may be counterproductive."

Murong Xinghua immediately said excitedly: "I understand."

After a conversation, Murong Xinghua was anxious to return as soon as possible and did not want to stay for a day. As for Yun Zhiqiu's saying that since you are here, you might as well go around the ghost market to see the ghost market. She said, "Are you afraid that you will not have time to see it when you come to the ghost market to work in the future? You said goodbye and left immediately. (To be continued.)
