Text Chapter 2018: Simple and Brutal

"Yes!" Yang Zhaoqing accepted the order.

Yang Qing quickly stopped him and said, "Sir, it's no problem to strengthen the protection of Cao Man, but it's unlikely that the movement of so many people will not be leaked. If the Heavenly Court finds something unusual, they must contact Wen Ze and others to inquire. Once they can't contact Wen Ze and others, they will be more suspicious..."

Miao Yi interrupted, "I don't care if they are suspicious or not. My goal is to control them and prevent them from making trouble at the critical moment. Who knows if they have developed their own people in the past few years." After that, he stood up and said to Yang Zhaoqing, "Notify them to see me immediately, and make a quick decision. I will deal with it personally!"

He made a series of arrangements, and people came to the meeting hall. Yang Qing hid in a small room in the side hall and eavesdropped.

The five generals Xu Tangran, Qiwu, Huang Li, Nangong Ruyu, Mai Zi, Qingyue, and Long Xin arrived first to see the meeting.

The five people didn't know what happened. Miao Yi waved his hand and asked them to stand on the left and right sides.

The meeting hall was brightly lit.

Feihong, wrapped in a cloak, with long hair in the wind, stood on the high attic and stared at the direction of the hall. Miao Yi immediately forgot her gentleness and left after receiving a message from Xingling. She realized that something was going to happen. She also clearly felt that Miao Yi was a little different these days and his mind was not on cultivation at all.

Wen Ze and other guards also realized something was wrong after they arrived one after another. They found that except for some senior officials of the Netherworld Governor's Office, the rest of the hall were all guards. What was going on?

Look at Miao Yi sitting high up, wearing a cloak and with long hair hanging down his shoulders without any combing. It was obvious that he had just climbed up from the couch.

"Grand Commander, I wonder why you called me in late at night?" Wen Ze asked with a bow. Generally, people below would call Miao Yi by a high-ranking official title.

Miao Yi didn't beat around the bush at all. He looked down and said indifferently: "I just received a secret report that something happened outside. It is said that it is related to you. What do you say?"

Xu Tangran and others looked at each other, not knowing what happened.

Wen Ze and the others were also at a loss, looking at each other, not knowing what had happened. Wen Ze hurriedly asked, "May I ask the Grand Commander, what's going on?"

Deputy Governor Heng Wudao walked out of the back hall, stood at the steps below Miao Yi, and clapped his hands twice.

A group of people rushed out from both sides of the back hall, and there was a clattering sound of armor outside the hall, and a group of people rushed in, which can be said to have directly surrounded Wen Ze and others.

Xu Tangran and others didn't know what had happened, so they quickly stepped back and made room for the people who rushed in to surround them. They found that they were all masters of Tiance Mansion.

Several people looked at Heng Wudao at the same time, wanting to know what had happened, but Heng Wudao didn't know what had happened, anyway, he obeyed the order.

Wen Ze and others quickly turned their backs to be alert.

Wen Ze shouted, "General, what do you mean? Even if you want us to die, don't you want us to die knowingly?"

Miao Yi said, "No one wants you to die. After the investigation, we will hand it over to the Heavenly Court for punishment. Are you cooperating with the investigation or resisting?"

Wen Ze said angrily, "You can always find excuses to accuse someone. I am the deputy governor of the Netherworld Governor's Office after all. How can you take me away as you say? Even if you take a step back, don't you at least let us know what happened?"

Miao Yi said calmly, "Kill those who resist, capture them!"

A group of people immediately rushed forward with swords and guns.

Some people on the side of the Guards raised their weapons to resist, but were stopped by Wen Ze, who shouted, "Don't be reckless!"

It's not known what happened yet. Once they resisted, it would be confirmed that they were rebelling. Moreover, there were many masters in the Tiance Mansion. If they fought, they would not be able to deal with the dozens of people. It was simply courting death. The only way to survive was to surrender. He didn't believe that Miao Yi really dared to kill them for no reason. The Heavenly Court should not sit idly by.

Just like that, almost helpless, they were restrained on the spot, and their belongings were confiscated. Wen Ze shouted with a thick neck: "Niu Youde, you are deliberately harming me, I want to appeal to the Heavenly Court! I want..." Before he finished shouting, he was immediately silenced by the people around him.

"Have a good meal and good wine, don't let them down." Miao Yi waved his hand, "Take them away!"

In the attic of the inner house, Murong Xinghua, wearing armor, climbed up the attic and slowly walked to Feihong's side.

She had just received a notice from Yang Zhaoqing to strengthen the security of the inner house, and she didn't know what happened.

Feihong tilted her head to look at her, and then their eyes were attracted to the direction of the hall at the same time, and they saw Wen Ze and others being taken out of the hall and escorted to the dungeon.

The two were secretly surprised at the same time and looked at each other. It was obvious that the people arrested were all members of the Guards. What was the lord going to do? Did he want to rebel?

But they felt it was impossible. With Miao Yi's current strength, he had no qualifications to rebel at all.

Fei Hong had already noticed that something was going to happen to Miao Yi. Now the noise really confirmed her guess. She couldn't help but turn around and ask, "General Murong, what happened?"

Murong Xinghua shook his head and thought, I still want to know what happened.

The turmoil in the meeting hall came and went quickly. After the arresting troops withdrew, Xu Tangran and others were terrified. They were really scared just now. They almost thought that they were going to attack them. At this time, they slowly approached the center of the hall and looked at Miao Yi in doubt. They were all wondering what happened and why there was no clue before.

Yang Qing, who was hiding in the small room of the side hall, was speechless. He finally realized the difference between himself and Miao Yi. The dignified deputy governor did not even have a legitimate crime, but only gave a specious reason. He was arrested as soon as he said he was going to be arrested. It was simple, rough, and clean. He just solved the matter like this. How are you going to explain it to Heaven later?

Xu Tangran bravely asked, "Sir, what happened?"

Miao Yi glanced at him, ignored him, and said: "Mai Zi!"

Mai Zi came out and cupped her hands and said crisply: "Here you are!"

Miao Yi: "Immediately lead one million elites, secretly move into the ghost market, surround Xinyi Pavilion, and obey orders!"

"Yes!" Mai Zi agreed.

Miao Yi said: "Nangong Ruyu!"

Nangong Ruyu cupped her hands and said, "Here you are!"

Miao Yi: "Immediately lead five million elites and lurk near the ghost market. Do not move without orders!"

"Yes!" Nangong Ruyi agreed.

Miao Yi waved his hand and said, "That's it. Everyone else should go back and rest."

"Yes!" Everyone agreed, but they couldn't help but murmur in their hearts, what happened, and why did they click on these two women?

Everyone left one after another, but Xu Tangran was lingering a little, seemingly unwilling to leave. It was really strange what happened today. The most important thing was that it seemed that nothing happened to him, and he felt that he was not trusted, which made it difficult for him to accept. Also a little uneasy.

How did he get to the top? It was because of Miao Yi's trust that he bit the bullet and said, "Sir..."

He wanted to ask for work, and he was willing to do it no matter how hard, tiring or dangerous it was. Now even if he was asked to risk his life, he would pat his chest and say it unequivocally. Unexpectedly, Miao Yi looked at him coldly and interrupted: "Let you go back and rest." Wait, didn’t you hear?”

"Uh...yes, yes!" Xu Tangran smiled dryly and quickly retreated, obeying the order and going back to rest.

There were no outsiders in the hall, and Miao Yi asked Yang Zhaoqing on the side, "Have Fu Qing and others been notified in place?"

Although he appointed Mai Zi and Nangong Ruyu as generals, he trusted Fu Qing and others more. Fu Qing and the old Nether Department were his eyes that watched every move below, so he would naturally arrange for these people to participate in the operation this time.

Yang Zhaoqing said: "The notification has been put in place."

Yang Qing also walked out of the side hall and wanted to give some cautious reminders.

Unexpectedly, Miao Yi's eyes just glanced at him, and he had already stood up and left, with no intention of dwelling on this matter any more.

Yang Qing had no choice but to give up and swallowed the words that came to his mouth. He knew that Miao Yi would not listen to him for everything and would have his own thoughts. When it was time to make a decision, he always cut through the mess quickly and never cared about the consequences.

As soon as he came out of the back hall, Miao Yi took out the star bell in his sleeve, contacted Pang Guan, and invited Pang Pang to come to the Netherworld Governor's Mansion for a gathering.

Returning to the inner house, Fei Hong came over and accompanied Miao Yi back to the palace. When he took off Miao Yi's cloak, he asked: "Sir, I just seemed to have seen that you sent all the people from the Guards. Caught?"

Miao Yi turned around, stretched out his hand to lift her pink chin, and said with a smile: "The eyes of the spy on the left are really sharp."

Feihong said a little embarrassedly: "Your Excellency, you are making fun of me again. I am just afraid that I will turn around to monitor Zuo Bu and ask about it, and I don't know how to respond."

Miao Yi put his hand around her soft waist and pulled her into his arms. He touched and squeezed her along the way. He laughed and said: "There is nothing difficult to deal with. Tell the truth about what you saw and report it to the supervisory department now." …”

In Xinyi Pavilion, Qi Jue hurriedly came to Cao Man's house and reported to Cao Man: "My boss, something is wrong. There seems to be a lot of Netherworld people secretly arranged around Xinyi Pavilion."

Cao Man instead smiled slightly and said, "It's okay, don't worry about it, I transferred him."

"Uh..." Qi Jue was stunned.

In the secluded courtyard under the moonlight, Xu Tangran paced back and forth with his hands behind his hands, looking up at the sky from time to time, and bowing his head silently from time to time, sighing endlessly.

Miao Yi asked him to come back and rest, but with his cold attitude, he couldn't rest. He tossed and turned on the couch for a long time before he got up and went out for a walk.

Next to her, Xue Linglong was wearing obscene clothes and tulle. Her graceful and delicate body was looming under the moonlight, making her look very alluring. Xue Linglong knew that he was in a bad mood, so she dressed up like this on purpose, and was ready to offer her tenderness to comfort his mood. Who knew that Xu Tangran wasted his wealth and regarded her careful dressing as nothing, which really made her angry and funny.

"Are you thinking too much?" Xue Linglong stepped forward and said, dumbfounded: "You didn't do anything wrong. Isn't this why I didn't do anything to you? Isn't it like you have lost your soul?"

"What do you know? We know how much we weigh, and we are not the material to lead troops in war at all. There are so many capable people around the Grand Governor now. With the Grand Governor, sometimes we are just one step behind. Maybe in the future It's nothing to do with me. Hey! I'm not under the attention of adults at all. I don't even know what's going on. It's inappropriate!" Xu Tangran waved his hands and shook his head. As if something suddenly occurred to her face, she stepped forward, grabbed her hand, and asked, "Have you kept in touch with Madam? Did Madam say when you will be back?"

Xue Linglong sighed: "I've been listening to you, I've been in contact, and I send you regular greetings. Madam said that the return date is uncertain, and she will stay for a while. If you have anything to do, please contact her directly through the star bell."

Xu Tangran frowned and muttered, "Going out to play in this wind is more like cheating ghosts."

Xue Linglong said amusedly: "Everyone knows there must be something fishy here, can I still force her to confess honestly?"

Xu Tangran raised his head again and asked, "Where's Feihong? How have you been doing recently?"

Xue Linglong was stunned and said, "Didn't you say recently that the evil monk Nanbo was causing panic among the people and asked me to try not to go out? Besides, the Governor's Mansion has to be searched in and out, and it's not convenient for me to go in and out. I haven't been there for a while."

"You!" Xu Tangran pointed at her with a look of grief, almost beating his chest and stamping his feet, "Maybe the problem lies here! Don't you think about who is whispering in the Grand Commander's pillow now? It's her! After the lady left, you didn't even go there. What do you want others to think? It shows that you don't have her in your eyes at all. God knows what bad things she said about me in the Grand Commander's ear that made the Grand Commander hate me. I told you to try not to go out, which means not to go to the outside world, and I didn't say the Governor's Mansion. You are so confused!"

Xue Linglong rolled her eyes and said, "You said that Feihong and I should keep a proper distance and respect the lady so that the lady would not misunderstand you. Now You are the one who thinks I have alienated Feihong. Why is it so difficult for me? Okay, okay, don't glare at me like that. I'll go tomorrow, okay? Is it worth making such a fuss? "

Xu Tangran grabbed her hand again and said, "Don't go empty-handed. By the way, you can send the colorful screen I brought from outside to you last time."

Xue Linglong's eyes widened immediately, "This is your gift to me. You know I like it very much!"

Xu Tangran hurriedly comforted her, "Why are you so stubborn? Be good and listen. I will definitely get you some better gifts later."

Xue Linglong bit her lips and said nothing. Knowing that the treasure could not be kept, she looked at him with a face full of resentment...

Heavenly Palace, Li Palace, Sima Wentian strode straight in and came directly to the garden. Seeing several concubines playing with Qingzhu, he stood not far away and waited, winking at Shangguan Qing.

Shangguan Qing, who was standing aside, immediately bowed to the laughing Qingzhu and reminded him, "Your Majesty, Sima Zuoshi is here."

Qingzhu immediately waved his hand, and the concubines who had finally found a chance to spend time with His Majesty had to leave reluctantly.

Sima Wentian then walked over quickly, saluted and reported: "Your Majesty, the spies planted in the Netherworld Army reported that they found abnormal movements of the Netherworld Army, and the exact number of people mobilized is unknown."

Qingzhu said, "Oh, where did they go?"

Sima Wentian, "It's also unknown where they went. It should be that the use of the Star Bell has been controlled and external contacts have been cut off. In addition, we received an urgent report from the spies planted next to Niu Youde, and found that Niu Youde had arrested all the generals sent by the Guards, including Wen Ze."

Qingzhu's face sank, "He even dared to arrest my people. What does that little thief want to do? Does he want to rebel?"

Sima Wentian: "The situation is unclear, and the spies can't figure out what happened. I only know that Niu Youde received a message when he went to bed, and suddenly said something happened, and left immediately, and then there was a capture operation. The spies also said that the Netherworld Army seemed to have been mobilized, and the specific whereabouts and reasons are unknown!" (~^~)
