Text Chapter 1870: Betrayal
The following people are willing to follow you, of course, there are emotional factors or interests, but a very important point is to see whether there is hope for following you. Once people feel that there is no hope for following you, accidents are most likely to happen.
Therefore, it is not a bad thing to give the people below a little hope in a timely manner, but it is not because Miao Yi wants to show off.
After receiving the verification, Liao Yingtong was shocked. He looked at Miao Yi with a bit of awe in his eyes. He couldn't help but admire this old boss. The ghost market's extraordinary methods of recruiting people were really fascinating to them. , and after thousands of years of silence, I thought my old boss was at peace, but who would have thought that there was a dragon lurking in the abyss, and if it didn't come out, there would be a big movement, and it actually killed five million elite members of the Eastern Army!
It's really refreshing to see the old boss's demeanor of not even taking King Ying Tian seriously. In fact, he really doesn't take King Ying Tian seriously. In the early years, when the concubine got married, she dared to scold King Ying Tian for selling his daughter for glory. This is what he saw with his own eyes. Who killed the grandson of King Ying Tian? Now, he directly fought against King Ying Tian's elite army without showing any signs of weakness, and even defeated King Ying Tian's troops. It was really impressive!
Liao Yingtong did not think that Miao Yi was arrogant. The method of recruiting people in the ghost market showed that this old boss was not a fool, but he was really confident.
"I understand, my lord, please wait a minute!" Liao Yingtong bowed his hands and said respectfully.
Calling himself a 'subordinate', being able to say this has already violated the taboo of the Guards, but he also knows some things in his heart. He has secretly accepted Miao Yi's funding for so many years, and it is no longer possible to distance himself from Miao Yi. Regarding human relations, once the matter is revealed, the Guards may not just be unable to tolerate him.
As for the support I received in my early years, I was treated calmly and it could be said that I was a life-or-death friend. However, the adults' feelings were disrespectful, and there were emotional factors in it that were difficult to erase. But when he really climbed to a certain position, he said that it was impossible without some reflection. It was already too late to regret. If he had reported it earlier, he would have been fine. After so many years, he had to report it again, which had seriously broken the rules of the Guards. He knew clearly Chu knew that he had already boarded the pirate ship and could not get off. What else could he be if he were not Miao Yi's subordinate?
One thing he didn't know was that he didn't know if any of his colleagues were in the same situation as him. He didn't dare to inquire or ask, because if someone discovered any clues, he would lose his head.
In the cave, Qing Yuanzun brought wine and food in from the outside. He glanced at Miao Yi who was present, but did not say a word and silently placed the wine and food there.
Someone suddenly came outside and informed Liao Yingtong, who was sitting with him, "Sir, I have been summoned by Lord Du Tong!"
Liao Yingtong immediately stood up, cupped his hands towards Miao Yi and said, "Niu Dutong, I'm sorry, Master Dutong has summoned me. I'll go over and take a look first. You can use it as you please."
Miao Yi smiled and nodded: "No problem, official business is important!"
Liao Yingtong quickly left with a cry of apology, leaving only two people in the cave. Miao Yi stood up suddenly, quickly bowed his hands to Qingyuan Zun and said: "The last general, Niu Youde, sees your highness!"
"Your Highness..." Qing Yuanzun looked back at the direction outside the cave and continued to laugh at himself: "You are a sinner and a nobody, how can you bear such a great gift from Master Dutong."
Miao Yi straightened up, shook his head with an unbearable look on his face and said, "Your Highness has suffered!"
"There is no need to suffer or be punished. In fact, staying here makes me feel at ease." Qing Yuanzun hugged the tray with a look of disapproval.
"Free?" Miao Yi was startled, and then sighed: "Your Highness must not think like this. There may not be no chance of starting from the beginning, and must not be depressed. You must know how many risks your Majesty has taken for Your Highness. Your Highness must not let your Majesty down. !”
Qing Yuanzun looked at him solemnly, "What's wrong with Queen Mother?"
Miao Yi hesitated for a moment, then seemed to bite the bullet and said, "His Royal Highness was demoted. Do you know why?"
Qingyuan Zun didn't know what he meant by bringing up this topic, so he tried to reply: "It should be the fault of the Ying family. Is it possible that the Ying family is attacking the mother again? What about the Xiahou family? Could it be that the Xiahou family just sits back and ignores it? "When he said the last sentence, he looked a little ferocious.
Miao Yi said sternly: "Since Your Highness knows that the Ying family is responsible, do you know what the Queen did to avenge His Highness? To be honest with Your Highness, the affairs of Concubine Qin's family were done by the Queen under the orders of her humble position."
"..." Qing Yuanzun's eyes widened for a moment, and he lost his voice: "The Xiahou family didn't do it? Are you crazy? She is my father's concubine. Once the matter is exposed, do you know what the consequences will be?"
Miao Yi said in a deep voice: "I have offended too many people, and there is no way out. Your Majesty and Your Highness are your last support! And this is the cause of the battle in Black Dragon Pond. The Ying family wanted to cut off your wings, and your Majesty was under heavy pressure. With his approval, Beizhi personally led a hundred thousand men from the Netherworld into a trap and fought a bloody battle with millions of Eastern Army elites. But did His Highness know that He was the future of the Empress? Everything you have done has no meaning. Your Highness should know that the Xiahou family only cares about the interests of their own family. The Queen is actually helpless in the palace and only hopes for the future. Could His Highness really bear to see the Queen continue like this? Can you really bear to see your Majesty being bullied in the future? After all, Your Majesty is the queen of the world! Why can Your Highness bear to see your Majesty suffer such humiliation?"
"No need to say anything, Niu Dutong, I know I was wrong!" Qingyuan Zun's eyes turned red, and his lips tightened for a long time without letting go. After he calmed down a little, he tilted his head outward again and asked: " Is this something you arranged intentionally? Otherwise, it would be such a coincidence that I would be here to deliver the food and wine.”
Miao Yi: "Your Highness, this is not important. The Queen asked me to come and see you. Your Highness, please see if you need anything else. I will take this opportunity to do my best to help you prepare it!"
Qing Yuanzun felt a little embarrassed when he heard this, and asked casually, "Do you have any money and cultivation resources? Give me some."
"..."Miao Yi was stunned and asked suspiciously: "Is the cost of the Guards very high? Your Highness, be careful of being discovered if you are too extravagant. I don't think this is what Your Majesty wants to see."
Qing Yuanzun said helplessly: "What are you thinking? I only have a normal salary now. When I came here, the palace cut off my supply."
Miao Yi suddenly realized that Qingzhu was really cruel. He was seriously honing him, and he didn't even give him the minimum cultivation resources. He didn't lack anything when he was in the Heavenly Palace before. Although the salary of the Guards was not low, there was still a big gap to fully satisfy his cultivation resources. After all, he was just a small soldier.
"Yes, yes, yes." Miao Yi immediately took out a storage bracelet and handed it to him, but he was still a little surprised and said, "Your Highness has never told the Queen about this?"
Logically speaking, how could Xiahou Chengyu watch his son suffer this? There are a lot of tributes to Xiahou Chengyu here, so how could he be short of this person's expenses?
Qing Yuanzun seemed to be in a better mood after receiving the things, "I have never asked my mother for these since I was a child. Don't let my mother know that you gave me things."
Miao Yi understood again, this is because she was embarrassed to ask, and being able to ask him shyly shows that she is really afraid of poverty. From another perspective, she has really begun to treat him as her own, which is a good thing. Miao Yi nodded repeatedly and said, "I understand, I understand, don't worry, this matter is known to heaven, earth, you and me. If your highness needs anything in the future, just contact me and I will arrange it. I won't let the queen know."
The dilemma of being poor and suffering was resolved. Finally, he didn't have to face the mocking eyes of those shop assistants. Qing Yuanzun was in a good mood and asked, "Did you really defeat Ying Jiuguang's 5 million elite troops? Tell me what happened."
Except for some things that were inconvenient to say, Miao Yi didn't hide it from him, even the negotiation with Ying Jiuguang. He had to find a reason to tell him about this matter, otherwise the batch of broken bows seized would be a trouble, and he had to find someone who could take the blame.
From the 100,000 Netherworld troops entering the Black Dragon Pond, to forcing the Cicada tribe to join the war, and then spreading rumors, setting ambushes, pincer attacks, luring the enemy, deceiving the enemy, and containing the enemy, a series of deployments of troops and fighting made Qing Yuanzun fascinated. He looked at Miao Yi with a brilliant look in his eyes, and found that this man was so fierce that he dared to lead 100,000 troops to the unfamiliar Black Dragon Pond and fight against the 5 million elite soldiers of the Ying family. He was impressed.
"There is no false reputation under a great name. I understand why the four kings wanted to marry their daughters to win you over. You are really a brave general. It is also a great fortune for my mother to get the help of the general!" Qing Yuanzun praised with emotion.
Miao Yi waved his hand and said, "Your Highness, you are too kind. Ao Fei is quite a great general. If he had not been constrained by various obstacles, it would be uncertain who would win or lose in this battle. Nearly 40,000 soldiers of the Netherworld Army died in the battle, and the Cicada Clan sacrificed a million men and horses. The words of King Cicada's rebuke to me are still fresh in my mind!"
Qing Yuanzun also said with regret, "The soldiers who died in the battle are all good. Don't treat them badly in terms of pension."
"Yes!" Miao Yi bowed his hand in response, but he was muttering in his heart, pension is none of your business, you just come up with it casually, can you pay?
"Ying Wuman, how are you going to deal with it?"
"Anyway, I won't give it to the Ying family. I still have some use for it. I can't let the Ying family take action against us all the time. It's time for us to settle accounts with the Ying family."
The two of them didn't want to chat for too long here, and they left the cave one after another. Miao Yi sold Qing Yuanzun as soon as he returned to the secluded place. He really sold him out as soon as he turned around. He told Xiahou Chengyu what he promised not to tell. Are you kidding? How can I not talk about trying to please Xiahou Chengyu!
In Tianpin Palace, Xiahou Chengyu was already hiding in the house, wiping tears. She didn't expect her son to be so pitiful, and she, as a mother, didn't know anything about it. However, she felt that Miao Yi was right. She couldn't expose this matter, otherwise her son would lose face. She could only tell Miao Yi to contact Qing Yuanzun more often in the future, and find a way to buy anything he needed. Miao Yi naturally promised again and again.
It was nothing. When she heard that Miao Yi had told Qing Yuanzun some secrets that shouldn't be told, and asked her to secretly instruct Qing Yuanzun to report to Qingzhu honestly, she was shocked and firmly disagreed: How can this be done? No!
Miao Yi knew what she was afraid of, that Qin Fei's affairs would be known by Qingzhu, and persuaded: Do you really think that Your Majesty doesn't know who was behind Qin Fei's affairs? Your Majesty is just pretending to be confused. Your Majesty, as long as it helps His Majesty's view of Your Highness, it doesn't matter if Your Majesty and I suffer a little injustice. As long as His Majesty values Your Highness, he will not touch Your Highness's people...
After repeated persuasion, Xiahou Chengyu's concerns were finally dispelled. (To be continued.)
