Text Chapter 329: The Fox Takes Advantage of the Tiger
Mentioning the hospitality of Donglai Cave again? Wu Menglan was both angry and amused. Didn't I just eat some of your food and take a few jars of your wine? Is it necessary to mention it all the time? It makes me feel like I owe you a lifetime.
"You only remember Donglai Cave's hospitality, but why don't you remember that you broke into my territory and killed people?" Wu Menglan said sarcastically.
"Your people also ran to my side to kill people... Let's not talk about the past, Sister Meng, you are a big man and don't remember the villain's faults, why bother with me." Miao Yi smiled apologetically.
Wu Menglan was completely convinced by him. She had seen shameless people, but she had never seen such a shameless person. You can bring up the past, but if I bring up the past, you should be a big man and don't remember the villain's faults.
But then again, she really couldn't let Miao Yi be a big man and don't remember the villain's faults, because in terms of status and cultivation, she was indeed a big man, and Miao Yi was not an exaggeration to call himself a villain, so Miao Yi could say it, but she couldn't.
Now she finally understood why her men always suffered losses on the other side's territory, because they were not as shameless as them. If this guy could get her men, he would probably fight with Yang Qing.
She sneered twice, acquiesced that Miao Yi was a villain, and stopped arguing with Miao Yi, otherwise it would be embarrassing.
It was exactly what Wu Menglan wanted to know the situation on other ships. Miao Yi had taken great pains to find the right time to please her, so she didn't refuse, but just warned coldly: "If you make any trouble, don't blame me for being rude."
This was an agreement, Miao Yi said ecstatically: "That's right, that's right, but..."
Wu Menglan sneered: "Don't push it too far!"
"No, no." Miao Yi smiled bitterly: "But if I go there like this, people on other ships won't believe it. Maybe I will be bombed off the other ships. Sister Meng, did you write a decree for me?"
Wu Menglan thought about it and it was true. A jade tablet came into his hand, and a simple sentence was written, ordering Miao Yi to inspect the fleet, without giving him any other rights.
Miao Yi took it and looked at it, and was overjoyed. He thanked him and left.
He really did what he said. As soon as he arrived at the cabin below. He knocked on two doors casually, summoned two people, and directly ordered: "In accordance with the order of Palace Master Wu, I order you two to do the job."
The two were stunned and asked, "What job?"
Miao Yi pointed to the rooms on both sides of the passage, "Register the names of every cultivator in every room on this floor, and ask in detail about their cultivation. What positions they hold in various places. What sects they come from, etc., all register clearly, and give them to me tomorrow, and I will send them to Palace Master Wu for inspection later."
In the face of the experience of the disciples of the three major sects, the two dared not disobey, and both agreed, but in their hearts they were cursing Miao Yi for taking advantage of the power of others.
In fact, Miao Yi was indeed taking advantage of others, and he was taking advantage of others to the end. Wu Menglan did not ask him to check the background of all the people on the ship.
But Miao Yi wanted to check it himself. And he did it directly under the banner of Wu Menglan, and he didn't even show the decree given by Wu Menglan to the two of them.
In fact, before he knew that it was Wu Menglan who was escorting the ship. The reason why he used his power to seek the position of the manager of this ship was to do this.
In his own words, he didn't really want to be in charge because he had nothing to do. Even if the person escorting the ship was not Wu Menglan and there was no decree, he was prepared to do this on this ship.
The appearance of Wu Menglan gave him an unexpected surprise. He got the decree directly from Wu Menglan and set his sights on the entire fleet.
For Miao Yi, Wu Menglan was a self-righteous big garlic, and it would be a waste if he didn't peel it.
He went down to the second floor, found two people, and explained the same thing.
The same thing happened on the first floor, but he said, "There's no need to count the people from the three major sects. They are being punished, so there's no need to disturb them. I know their situations, so I don't need to check them."
Then he went to the stables and the engine room below to take a look. The mounts of Su Jinggong and others were really running in circles, which was great.
After arranging the things on this ship, Miao Yi came to the stern and looked at the fleet following behind him. He jumped into the sea, stepped on the waves and flew, and finally landed on the big ship a hundred meters away.
His actions attracted several people on the ship to stop and ask, "What are the people from Yuexing Palace doing here?"
Miao Yi said shamelessly, "I'm here to do my job according to the order of the fleet commander. Let your manager come to see me."
If there was no order from Wu Menglan, he really wouldn't dare to leave the ship he was on at will. Those who left the ship without permission would be regarded as running away and beheaded on the spot!
Upon hearing this, one of them immediately stepped forward and clasped his fists, saying, "I am the steward of this ship."
Miao Yi was not the steward of this ship, so he couldn't just talk nonsense here. He immediately took out Wu Menglan's decree and handed it to the other party for inspection.
After the other party read it, he returned it with both hands and asked, "What instructions does the commander have?"
Miao Yi replied, "The commander ordered you to register the names of every cultivator on the ship, their cultivation level, their positions in various places, and their origins. The commander will see it tomorrow, and those who make mistakes will be severely punished!"
The other party was a little surprised at what Wu Menglan was up to, but Miao Yi came with the decree in his hand, so there was no need to doubt it. He immediately clasped his hands and said, "I obey your orders!"
Even Wu Menglan didn't expect Miao Yi to be so bold, so he didn't doubt it.
Miao Yi smiled and said, "Please hurry up and do your job. I'll come to you tomorrow to get what the commander wants to see. You are busy. I still have to go to the next ship to get the decree of the traditional leader. I won't bother you."
“No need to see you off!” Several people accompanied the steward and bowed to Miao Yi to see him off.
Miao Yi bowed and said goodbye, flew onto the rooftop, crossed the rooftop, jumped to the stern, jumped into the sea, and after leaping hundreds of meters, he jumped onto the next ship.
In the same way, he found the steward of this ship, fooled him, and then continued to the next ship.
Until he jumped onto the last ship, he finally encountered some trouble. As soon as he jumped onto the bow, a figure flashed to greet him.
The one who greeted him was none other than Pang Rang, the walking officer of Zhenbing Palace who almost killed him. He stared at Miao Yi coldly and shouted: “Why did you leave the ship without permission and come here?”
It seemed that he was going to kill Miao Yi if they didn’t agree.
Miao Yi quickly took out Wu Menglan’s decree and presented it, “I am here to do the job according to the decree of Wu Palace Master.”
Pang Rang frowned. You killed the master of Zhenbing Palace, and the Palace Master would let you do the job? He was a little skeptical, so he took the decree and saw that it was indeed Wu Menglan's decree, with Wu Menglan's seal on it, so it couldn't be fake.
But he was still a little strange, so he returned the decree to Miao Yi and shouted, "Wait here!"
Swish! Pang Rang turned into a shadow and flew away, and soon landed on the leading Yuexing Palace ship. He bowed outside the wooden house and said, "Your subordinate Pang Rang asks for an audience."
He went in to meet Wu Menglan and told her the matter. Wu Menglan smiled and said, "It was indeed me who asked him to do the job. Didn't he show you my decree?"
"I did see it, but I just felt it was a little strange. He broke into the territory of Zhenbing Palace and acted recklessly. The Palace Master wanted to kill him, so why would he use him to do the job?" Pang Rang was very puzzled.
Wu Menglan said with a smile, "Because Huo Lingxiao wants to kill him, if he is lucky enough to come back from Xingxiu Sea this time, he will definitely not dare to stay in Zhenyi Palace. I might as well show some mercy now so that it will be easier to recruit him later. This kid's ability is unquestionable. Wanxing Mansion needs someone who can save my face." Pang Rang frowned, "Palace Master, please forgive me for speaking frankly, do you think he can come back alive from Xingxiu Sea?" Wu Menglan shook her head and said, "It doesn't matter if he can't come back alive. He will die anyway, and we won't lose anything. Besides, this kid does have some real skills. He broke into Wanxing Palace. You have also seen how Xingfu killed Xiong Xiao. It can be said that he was brave and resourceful. No one can guarantee that such a person will not come back. Again, we have nothing to lose. If he comes back alive, why not serve me? "
Pang Rang knew about the secret competition between Wu Menglan and Huo Lingxiao, and he was quite disapproving in his heart, but on the surface he still flattered, "Palace Master is wise!"
When he flew back to the last ship, he threw a sentence over Miao Yi's head, "Do your job." Without staying or even meeting, he flashed directly into the house on the rooftop.
Miao Yi's hanging heart was relieved, and he found the ship's manager again and explained the matter.
When he returned to the ship of Yuexing Palace, he stood on the balcony and admired Su Jinggong and others who were still standing on the bow of the ship under the sun. He smiled, turned back into the house, opened three windows, blew the comfortable sea breeze, threw a wish bead into his mouth, and continued to practice cross-legged on the couch.
At sunset, the bright moon appeared outside the window with a sky full of stars. The bright moon rose over the sea, the night scene entered the dream, and the moonlight shone on Miao Yi's face. Unfortunately, the person who was practicing cross-legged on the couch had no intention of appreciating the beautiful scenery outside, and a room was wasted.
The next day at dawn, Miao Yi went to each ship again, found the manager of each ship, collected the collected information of the monks, and asked if there was anything wrong on each ship.
Back on the Moon Palace ship, he found Wu Menglan again and reported that everything was normal on each ship, but the jade book collected from each ship was embezzled and not handed over to Wu Menglan.
Wu Menglan obviously would not keep him to chat, Miao Yi returned to his room, glanced at the people who continued to stand on the bow of the ship under the scorching sun, and quickly closed and locked all the doors and windows.
He put a plate of iced fruit pulp on the coffee table, sat leisurely on a chair nearby, flipped his hand and took out a jade tablet to check. The jade tablet contained the information of the people on this ship, and he read it while eating.
Going to Xingxiu Sea, Miao Yi believed that he was not sure to be one of the 100 survivors among the 180,000 cultivators. Even if he had a set of second-grade magic weapons, he would not be sure at all, but he would not sit and wait for death. He would seize even the slightest chance of survival, and would survive even if there was no chance to create opportunities.
It is true that he is weak, but he must be more than the only one who is weak in this fleet. Even ants are greedy for life, and no one is willing to die. Without the support of the three major sects, he should find a way to connect with others to protect himself. (To be continued...)
