Main Text Chapter 288 Using Oneself as Bait
This remark made Gongsun Yu quite embarrassed.
In fact, it was true. He risked his life to save Qin Weiwei, which became his capital. Although he failed to save Qin Weiwei, it was not easy to repay this favor. After all, it was a life-saving grace. Normally, you could not repay it no matter how much money you took. Qin Weiwei's character was controlled by Gongsun Yu.
But it was different now. Miao Yi deliberately made things difficult for Gongsun Yu. These two hundred inferior wish beads were life-saving money for Gongsun Yu. Everyone knew who Miao Yi was. Once he wrote an IOU, he could trouble you at any time. Otherwise, Gongsun Yu would not be so afraid.
In other words, Yan Xiu had made it very clear that Miao Yi wanted to kill you, but now Qin Weiwei came forward to save your life, and Qin Weiwei would no longer owe you anything in the future.
Qin Weiwei quietly put away the wish beads, accepted Miao Yi's kindness, and waved to Gongsun Yu, saying, "You go back to Changqing Cave first, and come back to me after the handover is completed."
"Yes!" Gongsun Yu, looking embarrassed, said goodbye.
It was impossible not to be embarrassed, as his little selfishness was exposed on the spot.
Watching Gongsun Yu, who was covered in dust, leave, Yan Xiu felt somewhat pleased. The reason why Miao Yi insisted on him doing this had been made clear in the message, which was to make Gongsun Yu bow his head in front of Yan Xiu.
Miao Yi said that people like Gongsun Yu might not be bad people, but they were rather mean. The fact that you, Yan Xiu, were humiliated in front of him might become a topic of conversation for Gongsun Yu to show off to outsiders in the future. The rumors flying around between Qin Weiwei and Gongsun Yu were an example, and Gongsun Yu had made a great contribution to it. I, Miao Yi, have been looked down upon by others. I don't want my trusted subordinates to be looked down upon as well. You have to help me in the future. Only by making Gongsun Yu bow down in front of you, he will not dare to talk about the insults he made to you in the past. Don't be polite to a bitch.
If it weren't for Yang Qing and Qin Weiwei's face, Miao Yi would definitely kill Gongsun Yu.
After Gongsun Yu left, Qin Weiwei wrote the last decree to be sent to the various caves in Zhenhai Mountain. She stated that she had been transferred to Shaotai Mountain, and now Miao Yi was the master of Zhenhai Mountain appointed by the master of the mansion, and asked Hongmian and Luliu to send them all out using the eagle.
After the handover, Qin Weiwei did not stay. When she led the two maids away, she left a message to Yan Xiu, "Tell Miao Yi that I am not angry with him. We are still friends. Let him come to Shaotai Mountain when he is free."
Yan Xiu was stunned and bowed his hands and said, "I will remember it. I will tell you when I see you later."
Yan Xiu also led Qian'er and Xue'er to send Qin Weiwei and her party to the mountain gate.
Qin Weiwei, sitting on the dragon horse, looked back, and there seemed to be reluctance in her eyes. Finally, she was wearing a white dress fluttering in the wind and galloped away first...
At this time, Miao Yi and Luo Shuangfei were hiding in a forest somewhere.
Luo Shuangfei, who heard something first, opened his eyes and saw a group of people galloping in the forest. He turned back and said, "The people from Lanyumen are here."
Miao Yi finished his work and stood up. After a while, he saw twenty riders rumbling and shuttling close to him.
When the twenty riders stopped, the leader was none other than Tian Qingfeng. He was an old acquaintance of Miao Yi and Luo Shuangfei.
Tian Qingfeng jumped off the dragon horse first, stepped forward and clasped his fists, saying: "Tian Qingfeng, in compliance with the order of the headmaster, leads the brothers of Lanyumen to serve you."
"Is he the one I want?" Miao Yi asked.
Tian Qingfeng agreed and waved behind him.
The other nineteen people jumped off the dragon horse, and all of them had the light of green lotus between their eyebrows. Most of them were first, second and third grade green lotus, and Tian Qingfeng's fourth grade green lotus was the highest, which was amazing. They stepped forward together and bowed their hands and said: "Hello, sir."
Twenty green lotus masters gathered together, Miao Yi was happy in his heart, nodded and said: "I'm waiting for you, follow me."
He was the first to climb on the horse, followed by everyone, and more than twenty riders rumbled through the border between Wanxing Prefecture and Nanxuan Prefecture. They rushed directly into the territory of Wanxing Prefecture.
The horses kept running from day to night, and suddenly it rained heavily, and then ran from rainy night to day. Miao Yi had no expression on his face, and galloped in front of the wind and rain all the way.
After more than a day of galloping, when more than 20 riders arrived at Wanxing Mansion, they all hid in the mountains and forests to rest.
Miao Yi and Luo Shuangfei were fine, but Tian Qingfeng and others had to run all the way from Lanyu Gate to here, and they had almost no rest on the way. Longju couldn't bear it without a rest.
The purpose of this trip was clear, that is, to settle accounts with Xiong Xiao, and to run away immediately after the fight. If Longju's legs were not restored to a good state in advance, it would not be a good thing to be entangled when he turned back.
Everyone discussed around a map of Wanxing Mansion under the night sky, constantly writing and drawing on the ground...
The next day at dawn, more than 20 people got on their horses again. When they arrived at Wanxing Mansion, Miao Yi waved his hands left and right, and the 17 riders behind him hid in the mountains and forests on both sides according to the plan discussed last night, and Miao Yi led the remaining four people to gallop all the way.
Arriving at the gate of Wanxing Prefecture, the five people were stopped by two guards at the gate, "Who are you?"
"I am Miao Yi, the master of Donglai Cave in Nanxuan Prefecture, and I want to see your master." Miao Yi did not force his way in, but threw out a jade certificate.
The guards looked at each other in bewilderment. They had heard of Miao Yi, the master of Donglai Cave, for a long time. He killed Su Biao, the former master of Guiyi Mountain, and even Liu Jingtian, the former master of the prefecture, suffered at the hands of Miao Yi. It was said that the new master of the prefecture who defected from Nanxuan Prefecture also had a deep hatred for this man.
The guard did not dare to neglect him, and bowed, "Master Miao, please wait a moment." After that, he quickly left to report.
It can be said that Miao Yi came at the wrong time. Xiong Xiao had just taken over Wanxing Mansion, so it was inevitable to rectify Wanxing Mansion. He was summoning ten mountain masters to gather in the main hall of Wanxing Mansion to discuss matters.
Xiong Xiao had a headache. After discussing some things for several days, he still couldn't come up with a reason.
The reason was that Xiong Xiao came alone and his cultivation was not very high. Many mountain masters' cultivation was even higher than Xiong Xiao. To put it bluntly, everyone was dissatisfied with him. Xiong Xiao currently had no power of his own, and the mountain masters of various places were fighting for their own interests.
Some powerful mountain masters even thought about how to squeeze Xiong Xiao out. Naturally, they wanted to sit in that position themselves. If they hadn't taken into account the face of the hall master Wu Menglan, they would have seized power just like Yang Qing overthrew Lu Yu.
The hall master had just appointed someone, and he was accompanied by his aunt in person. If you overthrew him immediately, it would definitely make the hall master furious. The best way is to make Xiong Xiao accomplish nothing and create an incompetent mansion lord. After such a mansion lord is overthrown, it is natural that the competent will take over. The people above can also help speak, and the hall master will not say anything.
But Xiong Xiao is not a pushover. He has Wu Menglan's support behind him, which is his biggest reliance. He has long expected this situation. In the past few days, he has killed several people with thunder and rewarded several people in the headquarters of Wanxing Mansion. At the same time, he hinted that he was going to send a few confidants to replace the mountain masters below. He immediately controlled the headquarters around him firmly in his hands. His ability is extraordinary. The rest is to deal with the various princes below.
The so-called meeting is to take the opportunity to see the true face of this group of subordinates and then formulate countermeasures. Don't be impatient. Once you force them to jump off the wall, he will be in real danger.
At this time, there was a sudden report from outside that Miao Yi was here, which scared Xiong Xiao on the spot. He stood up and asked, "How many people did you bring?"
The mountain masters looked at each other. Did the enemy of the mountain master Xiong come to the door so quickly? Some people had a playful smile in their eyes.
It was hard for Xiong Xiao not to be surprised. He guessed that Yang Qing might retaliate against him, but he didn't think that the other party had the courage to attack. After all, the two sides were now in two different palaces, and it was even more impossible to attack openly. Now they dared to come to the door in broad daylight.
The guard bowed and replied: "Only four followers."
"Only four followers?" Xiong Xiao was stunned. That guy dared to come here with four people. Is he looking for death? Doesn't he know that he has become the lord of Wanxing Mansion?
After thinking for a while, he felt that this was quite possible. After all, he did not inform anyone in Nanxuan Mansion when he defected here! Then he took the jade book that Xia Yu handed over and checked it in his hand. He frowned and muttered, "Claim list? Four hundred inferior wish beads, three hundred thousand gold crystals..."
He was a little confused. Even Yang Qing didn't know about this, let alone him. He couldn't help asking everyone, "What's the matter with this claim list?"
He waved his hand and let Xia Yu pass the list to the people below.
Everyone smiled slightly after reading it. Everyone talked in disorder, and Xiong Xiao finally understood it. It turned out that this was really the case. Donglai Cave actually submitted a claim list to this side every year. Knowing that there was no hope of compensation, Miao Yi insisted on doing it for more than ten years? It's really ridiculous!
But today you ran into my hands, Xiong Xiao, it's your bad luck. How can I let you run away when you are delivered to my door! Xiong Xiao swept his eyes over the people below, and a hint of a grim smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He didn't expect the various princes below to help, but the seventy or so people in this department were more than enough to deal with five people.
He clapped his hands on the handrail and stood up, sneering: "It seems that this old case should be settled in my hands. Liu Tong, gather our troops immediately..."
In front of the mountain gate, the messenger monk ran back quickly and stretched out his hand to Miao Yi and others, saying: "Please follow me."
Miao Yi looked around and rode the dragon horse slowly into the house, which could be said to be bait.
After entering, the monk who led the way turned back and said: "Outsiders are not allowed to ride horses when entering the mansion. Please dismount!"
Dismount? Wouldn't it be death to lose the power of the dragon horse? Miao Yi was too lazy to pay attention to him and said indifferently: "It's not your turn to talk nonsense, lead the way!"
The monk didn't dare to ruin the mansion owner's business, so he could only hold back his anger and continue to lead Miao Yi and others deeper.
Just as several people slowly walked to the center of the square outside the main hall, they suddenly heard the sound of a dragon horse galloping. Miao Yi and others were shocked and quickly looked around.
After a while, a large number of people and horses came out from both sides and surrounded Miao Yi and others.
Miao Yi opened his arms, and a cloud of silver mist emerged from the storage ring and rushed towards him. The horse and the rider were instantly covered in armor, and the Ni Lin Spear was in his hand.
The four people behind him also quickly grabbed their weapons.
Miao Yi waved his spear and pointed it in all directions, angrily saying: "I am from the Zhen Yi Palace, what do you want to do?"
