Text Chapter 2068 The Southern Army Is Frozen

Even the guards accompanying Qing Yuan Zun looked at Miao Yi a little strangely, with an indescribable feeling.

The two of them were in a confrontation, as if they were waiting for something. In the end, it was Miao Yi who lowered his body first and cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, you have had a hard journey."

Qing Yuanzun then raised his hand and said: "I have met the prince! The prince's words are serious, and his hard work is not as good as the prince's."

There was a hint of sarcasm in these words, and there was a hint of amusement in the corner of Miao Yi's mouth.

Yang Zhaoqing and others on the side looked at Qing Yuan Zun with a somewhat cold look. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was humiliating for them to mock the prince in public.

Xu Tangran, who was standing aside, had a look of indignation on his face. He was determined to hug Miao Yi's lap, and he didn't hesitate to make his stance so obvious. The reason why he dared to show it so obviously is because Miao Yi has the strength to fight against the Heavenly Court. Now that Miao Yi has the strength to compete with the Qing Lord, Xu Tangran naturally does not need to be afraid of the Qing Yuan Lord.

"Please!" Miao Yi didn't seem to mind. He turned around and gave way, extending his hand in greeting.

"It's an honor for the governor to let me in without a body search. How dare I enter the palace without a body search." Qing Yuanzun made it clear that he would not give Miao Yi face, so he took out a jade slip and said, "I'm here by chance. I have forwarded His Majesty’s report to the Prince for approval, and I have to rush to the Netherworld Governor’s Mansion to hand over the matter, so I won’t bother the Prince by staying, and I also ask the Prince to say hello to the Netherworld Governor’s Mansion.”

Yang Zhaoqing stepped forward and took the jade certificate from his hand. After briefly confirming that it was okay, he nodded towards Miao Yi.

"In this case, it is better to obey orders than to be respectful. Your Majesty, please do it." Miao Yi stretched out his hand to indicate that he was free, and his eyes fell on the man next to Qing Yuanzun. He had already noticed that this man looked at him a little unkindly, and asked: "Is this But the new deputy governor of Netherworld, Wang Dingchao, brother Wang? "

"It's Wang!" Wang Dingchao said with cupped hands: "I have met the prince!"

Miao Yi nodded: "Farewell to Purgatory, I haven't seen you for many years, Brother Wang is still outstanding in his style, I'm happy to congratulate him!"

Wang Dingchao said coldly: "I can't compare with the prince's style even better than before!"

"Presumptuous!" Xu Tangran shouted angrily.

Miao Yi slightly raised his hand to stop, and said with a nonchalant smile: "Since we are close neighbors, Your Highness and Brother Wang might as well come and sit more often when they have time."

"Farewell!" Qing Yuanzun cupped his hands and led his troops to fly away.

Xu Tangran came to Miao Yi's side at this time and said, "Your Majesty, this Qing Yuan Zun is a little ignorant of the world. Why don't you teach him a lesson?"

"Don't argue with them." Miao Yi accepted the jade certificate handed over by Yang Zhaoqing and ordered, "Inform Long Xin that if the other party makes rude remarks, be patient and evacuate as soon as possible after the handover of the Governor's Mansion without any conflicts. ”

"Yes!" Yang Zhaoqing agreed.

Xu Tangran looked eagerly at the jade certificate in Miao Yi's hand. Many people around him also looked at this jade certificate, and they probably guessed that the contents in it would determine the future of many people.

Miao Yi also checked the jade certificate, and then his eyes fell on Xu Tangran and said, "Come on!"

"Yes!" Xu Tangran immediately followed him into the palace.

The two of them were walking in the wide square outside the main hall. Xu Tangran followed with a smile on his face, nodding and bending, carefully observing Miao Yi's expression.

"Linglong contacted the princess and told her about you, hoping to give you a chance." Miao Yi started the topic.

Xu Tangran suddenly became nervous. Although he thought Yun Zhiqiu would not intervene in this matter before, he still couldn't help but give it a try. After all, it was a path. How could he give up so easily? Xue Linglong asked Yun Zhiqiu to help him speak. He swallowed dryly and feigned anger: "This woman is really ignorant. How can she participate in such a big event? I will definitely teach her a lesson when I get back!"

How could Miao Yi not know his intentions and said: "There is nothing wrong with Linglong doing this. Since you are determined to do things for me, I will naturally give you a chance. But one thing you should also understand is that your cultivation is currently only suitable for If you stay in the position of governor and then promote others, you will have objections, what do you think?"

Xu Tangran's eyes looked sad, a little sad. In the past, he had made progress together every time, but this time he finally fell behind. However, he nodded with an embarrassed smile and said: "The prince is right. I have a humble position and obey the prince's orders."

Miao Yi said: "But some of what the princess said makes sense. After careful consideration, the king came up with a compromise. You can have a seat at the 18th Noble House of the Southern Army!"

Xu Tangran was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed. With a shameless face, he knelt down on the ground, kowtowed repeatedly, and choked with sobs: "Your Majesty's kindness will be repaid by death even if you humble your position!"

Miao Yi couldn't stand the way he always knelt down and cried. He squinted and said coldly, "Can you still talk properly? If you keep doing this, then forget about it."

Xu Tangran quickly got up, wiped his tears and said: "Your Majesty, there is no other meaning in being humble. I am too excited to be humble. I am excited for the moment!"

It would be strange not to be excited. Miao Yi's climb to the position of marshal is a special case. It is basically impossible for others who have not cultivated to the realm of sage to sit on the rank. Once the news gets out, Xu Tangran will be really prosperous. I don't know how many people will die of envy for the Marquis who is in the imperial court.

Miao Yi said: "I haven't finished speaking yet, so don't be too happy too early. In your situation, it's hard to convince the public and you lack prestige when sitting on the throne. So I can give you the title, but I won't give it to you as the Marquis." The real power is left to others to take care of. You continue to assist the princess in taking care of things outside. The situation is like this. If you are willing, the matter will be settled. If you are not willing, Then let it go, as if I didn’t say so.”

In fact, this was planned from the beginning. It was not Yun Zhiqiu's credit for persuading him. Yun Zhiqiu just conveyed Xue Linglong's intentions later. Yun Zhiqiu did not intend to get involved in this matter. It was not that he did not consider Xu Tangran, but he knew that some positions were not suitable for Xu Tangran based on his ability.

For Miao Yi, Xu Tangran was too obedient. He would do whatever he was asked to do. He could do it well without difficulty. He never refused when there were difficulties. He would take whatever he was asked to do. He could always find ways to complete his intentions. Such a useful subordinate must be appeased.

Xu Tangran nodded repeatedly, "I am willing! I am willing to serve the prince and die!"

How could he not be willing? He also knew his situation. If he took the real power of the marquis, he might shoot himself in the foot. He could not control such a large territory with his prestige. So at the beginning, he did not expect to be a marquis. He just wanted to get a nice-sounding position and raise his rank first, so as not to fall behind. He never dreamed that he could be promoted to the marquisate. The key point is that this represents the prince's respect for him. He is still willing to work for the prince and directly contact the prince and his wife. He is unwilling to be controlled by others, nor is he willing to put a lot of energy on the management of the territory. He thinks about how tiring it is to deal with the star kings, marshals and a bunch of superiors every day. Others may not buy his tricks. How can he be responsible for the supreme commander of the Southern Army? This is his consistent concept.

The matter was finalized. Xu Tangran was almost happy when he left the palace. As soon as he got home, he immediately picked up Xue Linglong and spun around and cheered.

Xue Linglong grabbed his ears, "Put me down quickly, what makes you so happy?"

Putting her down, Xu Tangran held her shoulders with both hands and said excitedly: "Listen carefully, the prince has just promised me to be one of the 72 marquises in the heavenly court!"

"Really?" Xue Linglong's eyes also lit up.

"How can it be false!" Xu Tangran laughed.

"Great, are you satisfied now?" Xue Linglong said as she hugged him and kissed him hard. Naturally, she was also happy. Seeing this, her interests and hobbies had long been led astray by Xu Tangran.

For her background, becoming the wife of a marquis in the court was enough to make her excited. When she was still in Tianxiang Tower, she never thought that she would have this day.

"It's a big happy event, we should celebrate it well!" Xu Tangran leaned over and took her into his arms, and took her directly into the bedroom to celebrate...

The various appointments of the Southern Army were also arranged quickly.

Yan Xiao, the left commander of Hao Defang's personal army, was appointed as the Marshal of Maolu, and Su Qingquan, the confidant of Pang Guan, was appointed as the Marshal of Chenlu. Even the two of them did not expect this appointment. They did not expect that Niu Youde would use them so much. And Miao Yi used the two of them to appease the morale of the Southern Army as soon as possible. This large-scale adjustment will inevitably cause complaints from many old people in the Southern Army. Now that these two people have been used, who can still say that Miao Yi is deliberately suppressing the old people? And for their own interests, the two of them must try their best to suppress those dissatisfied voices.

Heng Wudao was appointed as the Marshal of Silu, which was an explanation to the old subordinates of the Netherworld and Linghu Douzhong.

The old subordinates of Miao Yi, the Nine-Road Star Lord, Huang Li, Nangong Ruyu, Mai Zi and others occupied six seats, and the remaining three seats were appointed to the original three routes of the Southern Army.

Of the eighteen marquis positions, the people of the former Netherworld Governor's Office occupied twelve seats, including Xu Tangran, and the remaining six seats were also the original three routes of the Southern Army.

As for the nearly four thousand generals below, they were basically monopolized by the 100,000 old subordinates of Miao Yi, the former Netherworld Governor's Office. This was Miao Yi's reward to those old subordinates, and this was also the key position to control the largest number of troops under the Southern Army. Miao Yi directly allocated more than 10 million Netherworld troops to these people to help them control the military power. It can be said that it was a pre-positioning. After that, for a considerable period of time, no matter how the above adjusted, most of the people promoted to generals had to come from these more than 10 million people. This was the key to Miao Yi's stabilization of the following for a period of time.

The troops below the commander-in-chief were basically all disrupted. Miao Yi would not let the original faction stick together. The Xiahou family's exposed secret agents were all kicked out by Miao Yi without mercy. The Xiahou family did not say anything about this. When they were exposed, they knew this day would come.

As for Qingyue and Longxin, Miao Yi had a face-to-face meeting with them. The two gave up the competition for those positions and served as the left and right commanders of Miao Yi's personal army.

Miao Yi's personal army is composed of the remaining 30 million troops of the original Nether Army. Compared with other kings, this number of personal troops is a bit small, but Miao Yi has no choice. These are the only ones who are slightly trustworthy. With Hao Defang's previous experience, Qingyue and Longxin took the order to secretly check these 30 million troops. Those who are suspected will eventually be kicked out of the personal army. At the same time, they are responsible for secretly recruiting reliable personnel to join the personal army. With the territory and financial resources of the Southern Army, it is not a problem for Miao Yi.

For the time being, Qingyue is the main person in charge of the personal army, and Longxin will also be in charge of the nearby star field to build a reliable periphery for Miao Yi's lair. The area under his charge is exactly the territory of Xu Tangran, the marquis. (To be continued.)
