Text Chapter 2013 Uninvited

What else can Wei Shu say after he said this?

To put it bluntly, the Xiahou family is still firmly in the hands of this man. He can calmly give up power because he can easily take back the power. The Xiahou family is still under the control of the old man.

Wei Shu lowered his head, thinking about what he would do after Xiahou Ling died.

"If the second brother can't come back alive, you can go to the third brother." Xiahou Tuo said lightly.

Wei Shu looked up at him, Xiahou Tuo stopped talking, eating and drinking...

In the garden of the Netherworld Governor's Mansion, Feihong smiled like a flower, wandering among the flowers with Miao Yi, commenting on the flowers.

Yang Zhaoqing came quickly and reported in a voice transmission: "My lord, Xiahou Ling is here."

"Oh!" Miao Yi's eyes lit up, and he stretched out his hand and patted Feihong's soft waist gently.

Feihong half-knelt and bowed to leave, and nodded slightly to Yang Zhaoqing. Knowing that Miao Yi had something important to discuss, she quickly left to avoid him.

Yang Zhaoqing bowed and saw him off.

As soon as Feihong left, Yang Qing, who was half-hiding behind the plants not far away, also came over. He obviously knew about this and stepped forward and said with a smile: "Xiahou Ling came quietly and attacked unexpectedly, haha."

Miao Yi glanced at him and smiled. Before, he didn't know what excuse to use to invite Xiahou Ling. He was afraid that a flaw would be revealed. It would be easy to arouse suspicion if he invited him directly with the magic grass. As a result, Yang Qing designed something around the magic grass. Even Miao Yi had heard about the origin of the magic grass. It must be easy for Xiahou Ling to find out. It was reasonable for Xiahou Ling to check the things that the demon monk was attracted to. It was obvious that Xiahou Ling was too smart and fell into the trap.

Sometimes people are like this. People may not believe what you say directly. It is the best choice to let them make their own judgments.

Miao Yi asked, "How many people came?"

Yang Zhaoqing: "Not many. There are hundreds of people accompanying openly, and tens of thousands of people accompanying secretly."

Miao Yi laughed, "Ten thousand people, that's not a lot."

Yang Qing: "He knows very well that the Netherworld is the Lord's territory. If the Lord really wants to harm him, it will be useless even if he brings a million troops. With the forces that the Xiahou family can gather openly, even if they bring all of them, they can't be the Lord's opponent. He also understands that the Lord dare not touch the head of the Xiahou family openly."

Miao Yi nodded, "I really dare not touch him openly. If I force the Xiahou family to retaliate against me, I can't afford the consequences."

Yang Qing reminded again, "Zhao Qing has contacted the people outside, and Wei Shu didn't come!"

Miao Yi's eyes narrowed suddenly, "For such a thing, his assistant didn't come? Could it really be him?"

"Very likely?" Yang Qing nodded.

Miao Yi: "If he saw through the plan, but let Xiahou Ling come to die, what does that mean?"

Yang Qing: "If this person really treats the Xiahou brothers as pawns, then we need to judge his purpose, to see whether he is considering the interests of the Xiahou family, or is ambitious to control the power of the Xiahou family. But in theory, the layout of the Xiahou family should not be easily controlled by outsiders, and it is unlikely that he will seize power. If he is really considering the interests of the Xiahou family, if nothing unexpected happens, he will appear by Cao Man's side after Xiahou Ling's death, which means that Xiahou Ling has been abandoned by him. If he does not appear by Cao Man's side, then things will be a bit troublesome. If he does not support, I am afraid that Cao Man may not be able to successfully gather the power of the Xiahou family. We may have to contact this Wei Shu to talk. If we can't reach an agreement, there will be too many variables and risks in the future. The adults' plan is probably going to be stopped."

"I didn't expect the variable of Wei Shu to appear!" Miao Yi snorted coldly and said to Yang Zhaoqing: "Let it go!"

"Yes!" Yang Zhaoqing took the order and executed.

Outside the Governor's Mansion, hundreds of people descended from the sky, led by Xiahou Ling, who was dressed in a white robe and looked very imposing.

Miao Yi personally greeted them outside, and as soon as he saw them, he quickly stepped forward and bowed, saying, "The Emperor is here in person, and I am sorry for not welcoming you!"

"I came here without an invitation, and I hope the Grand Commander will not be offended." Xiahou Ling said politely.

"The Emperor is a rare guest that cannot be invited. The Governor's Mansion of the Netherworld is honored, and I am so happy that I can't wait to see you. How can I be offended? Please come in!" Miao Yi invited them in cheerfully.

The two of them walked side by side into the city gate while chatting and laughing. Miao Yi personally ordered that this last check be omitted.

However, it was only Xiahou Ling who was targeted, and the rest of his followers were stopped and strictly checked. In the end, only a hundred people were allowed to enter with him, and the rest of the people who were secretly brought in were all checked out and abandoned outside the Governor's Mansion and were not allowed to enter.

A large number of troops have appeared on the walls of the Governor's Mansion to guard against the group of people outside. There are also millions of troops mobilized in the surrounding mountains to prevent the troops brought by Xiahou Ling from causing chaos.

There are places for entertaining guests in the magnificent pavilions like jade buildings.

Xiahou Ling's accompanying guards guarded some key positions and were highly alert to the surroundings.

There was singing and dancing in the pavilions. A group of singing and dancing beauties were dancing gracefully. The bells were melodious, the strings were humming, and the postures of a group of singing and dancing beauties were either elegant or seductive.

The foundation of this singing and dancing troupe was given by Hao Defang in the past. In order to prevent the placement of spies, Yan Xiu secretly controlled and investigated, and Hao Defang did not do anything about it. However, over the years, this singing and dancing troupe has been in and out. Those who left were favored by the generals below and were rewarded by Miao Yi. Those who were missing were naturally supplemented. Miao Yi was a person with no elegant tastes. He was not very good at this thing. He thought it was better to save resources to raise soldiers than to raise these people. However, with his current status, when distinguished guests occasionally come, he has to entertain them with great ceremony, and it is indeed not good to appear too casual when some guests come.

Some guests have some elegant hobbies. They like a certain singing and dancing beauty and directly ask Miao Yi to take her to his room as a concubine. If it were the young Miao Yi, he would definitely not be ashamed to do this and would definitely not agree. However, Miao Yi's way of looking at things is no longer the same as before. From a certain perspective, it may not be a good thing for these women to let these singing and dancing girls spend their lives here. It is definitely better to marry someone as a concubine than to be treated like this. Besides, people who can enter the Governor's Mansion as guests will not have bad status.

Miao Yi generally will not refuse this. There is no need to offend people for this. Just offer a dowry.

It is still good to meet this kind of guests. It is more so-so to meet another kind. There is a kind of guests who just play on a whim and call them to sleep with them for a night. Afterwards, at most they will be rewarded generously, and they don't want to take responsibility at all. For example, Sheng Muxue is this kind of guest. Every time she comes, she calls two, and each time she comes, she calls for different ones. Except for some people with status in the singing and dancing troupe, nearly half of them have been ruined by Sheng Muxue. When his wife Kou Yu came with him, Sheng Muxue refused to do this. If Kou Yu didn't come, Sheng Muxue's true colors would be exposed immediately. This also shows why Sheng Muxue only wanted to play with them but refused to take them home.

In the end, Miao Yi had to help him clean up his mess. Those beauties who had been harmed were not easy to marry people with status and position. Some of them were lucky enough to meet someone who didn't despise them and could smoothly become good people. Some were willing to stay and spend the rest of their lives. Those who didn't want to stay would be dealt with here. After the number was enough, a shop would be built in Tianjie and given to them, so that they could manage it themselves. If some wanted to find a way to make a living on their own, this side would also remove her slavery and give her a sum of money and property.

In this day and age, singing and dancing girls are actors. The way the Governor's Office handled them was quite kind. Most of them were just playthings, so how could they be treated so well. After all, there were only a few who were born as actors like Xue Linglong and Feihong who were so lucky.

The world is like this, Lian Yun Zhiqiu can only curse men for being bad and turn a blind eye to them. However, Yun Zhiqiu, the tigress, is determined not to let Miao Yi get involved with these beauties. If anyone dares to touch Yun Zhiqiu, she will fight with Miao Yi. And some women's thoughts can be understood. After all, Miao Yi's status and position are dazzling and attractive, and he is not bad. Some women who want to fly up to the branches and become phoenixes, flirt with Miao Yi, and want to become the second Fei Hong, Yun Zhiqiu will not show mercy, not to mention a severe beating, and the final end is that they are sold to brothels.

At this point, all the women around Miao Yi firmly stood on Yun Zhiqiu's side, without any humanity, one by one stared with eyes wide open to observe, and immediately reported and dealt with if they found anything, not giving Miao Yi any chance to cheat. Under such a severe crackdown, no one in the entire Governor's Mansion dared to seduce Miao Yi. When they saw Miao Yi, they lowered their heads quickly and dared not look at him too much, so Miao Yi had to give up the occasional little idea of ​​being a man.

It's not just for Miao Yi. In short, Yun Zhiqiu doesn't want to see any flirtatious, flirting, or bad-mannered women appear at home, not to mention other men in the mansion. This is the house rule of Yun Zhiqiu, the mistress!

"Not bad."

Looking at the song and dance in front of him, Xiahou Ling raised his glass and clinked it with Miao Yi, praising him.

Miao Yi knew that his interest was not in this, so he couldn't help but tease, "Oh, I wonder which one Tianweng likes? I will definitely have someone send it to the mansion later."

Originally, there was a gap in status between the two, and they should have sat separately, but Xiahou Ling insisted on sitting together. The song and dance on the scene were basically performed for the two of them to appreciate.

Xiahou Ling became a voice transmitter, and smiled, "Don't you know what Grand Commander I'm interested in?"

Miao Yi said calmly, "I don't know, please let Tianweng tell me."

"The blood lotus in the Grand Commander's hand!" Xiahou Ling drank slowly.

Miao Yi sighed, "Tian Weng, Niu has already told me that the blood lotus has been used by me."

"There was a man in the past, known as the Blood Demon Ancestor, who claimed that he had picked a magical herb in the depths of the starry sky..." Looking at Gewu, Xiahou Lingfang slowly told the origin and medicinal functions of the magical herb. He turned back and stared at Miao Yi and said, "Grand Commander, do you know why the evil monk came to you now?"

Miao Yi frowned and remained silent.

Xiahou Ling said again, "It's not good to leave this thing in the hands of the Grand Commander! Not only the evil monk wants to take it, but I'm afraid that even the Heavenly Court will force the Grand Commander to hand it over if they know about it. Why don't you let me deal with it, so as to save some trouble?" There was a threat in his tone.

Miao Yi sneered, "If anyone dares to force me, I will give the magic grass to the evil monk."

Xiahou Ling sighed, "Why is the Grand Commander acting so impulsively? Even if the magic grass is given to the evil monk, what will happen? Can the evil monk immediately recover his former strength after getting the magic grass? During this period of time, the people of the world have enough time to completely disintegrate the Grand Commander's power, so why is the Grand Commander doing this?" (To be continued.)
