Text Chapter 189: The Lone Minister
The master on the throne of the Changping Mansion Hall has changed, and the maids standing on both sides of the throne have also changed.
Although the cultivation of Zhang Decheng's two maids is not low, both have reached the eighth level of White Lotus, they were still mercilessly killed by Yang Qing.
Being a maid of a lord has a very glorious side, but also a very dangerous side.
As the confidant of the confidant of the master, they have the highest status in the territory except for the master. For example, the people below have to call them aunt respectfully when they see them, no matter how high their status is. Their status and achievements come entirely from their masters.
But it is precisely because of this that once defeated, the victor will not keep such people. It is too dangerous to keep such people around. As a diehard of the predecessor, it is entirely possible to avenge the master by seizing the opportunity.
So as long as this kind of maid follows a master, it is almost lifelong. Others can surrender, but it is useless for you to surrender, and you will still die. You can only follow the master in life and death.
All the mountain masters gathered in Changping Mansion. They had handed in what they should have handed in. All the mountain masters were in a good mood. How could they not be happy that the harvest had doubled this year? They gathered in the main hall and greeted Yang Qing with sincerity.
However, Qin Weiwei was not among the mountain masters whose harvest had doubled. If there was a reward after a defeat, how could Yang Qing convince the public in the future? This trend should not be allowed to continue, so they were naturally left alone.
But everyone also knew that as the adopted daughter of the mansion master, the loss was only temporary.
After everyone discussed the matter, Yang Qing personally led the mountain masters and drove the dragon horse to Zhenyi Hall.
Miao Yi, who was among them, was a little excited. He and Wu Tong followed Qin Weiwei. Finally, they had the opportunity to know where the door of Zhenyi Hall opened.
He was a little disappointed in addition to being excited, because Xiong Xiao was also among them. When enemies meet, they are particularly jealous. But he was restricted by the rules and couldn't do anything wrong.
In the same way, Xiong Xiao was also restricted by the rules and did not dare to do anything to Miao Yi openly, otherwise he would have killed Miao Yi long ago, and how could it have dragged on until today...
Between the snow-capped mountains and steep ridges, strange pines and trees are covered with snow. Waterfalls are icy, and dragon horses are stepping on snow and crossing the forest. Occasionally passing through gullies and deep valleys, snow slides down from time to time, which can't stop the dragon horses from flying through.
Zhenyi Temple is located in it, and the headquarters buildings are distributed in a network on the surrounding mountains.
On the highest peak. There is a magnificent courtyard. In the courtyard is a real palace-scale building complex, with flying beams and painted buildings.
On a clear snowy day, you have to look up to its majesty, majestic and upright, and it covers the mountains.
In such a mountain, I don't know how much manpower it took to build it.
Miao Yi admired the rare and beautiful scenery around him all the way, and found that the higher the status in the cultivation world, the more spectacular the mountains and swamps he occupied. I guess the famous mountains and rivers after the ice and snow melted will never get tired of seeing them.
When they galloped to the foot of the mountain, they were stopped. Most of them went to the courtyard of Nanxuan Mansion. Miao Yi and Xiong Xiao were going to go with the others.
Who would have thought that Yang Qing turned around and pointed at the two of them, "You two follow me."
The two enemies looked at each other subconsciously, both a little strange, but naturally obeyed the order.
The two of them followed Yang Qing and galloped to the magnificent courtyard on the main peak at an angle. Others were not allowed to enter without being summoned.
Outside the gate, the three people got off the dragon horse and left it aside. The guards verified the identities of the three people and let them go.
As soon as they entered the palace gate, the grand atmosphere of the majestic building hit them in the face. The three people did not go directly to the main hall. The little maid in palace dress waiting on the side stretched out her hand, "Please follow me!"
Turned back and led the three people to the waiting room in the side yard for tea.
There were many two-plus-one combination coffee tables in the room, and a group of people were already sitting inside waiting.
As soon as Yang Qing entered, he immediately bowed and greeted everyone. Everyone also smiled and greeted each other. It seemed that they were very polite to Yang Qing. This was not the case before Zhang Decheng died.
After everyone sat down, Miao Yi and Xiong Xiao consciously stood behind Yang Qing's seat. They were not qualified to sit here.
From everyone's greetings, it was clear that they were all the lords of various places in Zhenyi Palace. How could they be qualified to sit on an equal footing with everyone.
However, what surprised Miao Yi and Xiong Xiao was that it seemed that only Yang Qing brought two people here. The other lords were alone and did not bring anyone.
The other lords also looked at the two people behind Yang Qing from time to time, but did not ask much.
No one asked about the fight between Yang Qing and Zhang Decheng. Everyone seemed to have forgotten Zhang Decheng.
Although Xiong Xiao had no friendship with these lords, it was not the first time he came to Zhenyi Palace with Yang Qing, so he had seen most of them.
Miao Yi listened carefully to everyone's exchanges and silently remembered which lord was which. Since he came here once, he couldn't come in vain. He had to learn more.
After a long time of polite conversation, another maid dressed in palace dress came in. After bowing to everyone, she said in a crisp voice: "Are you all here?"
Everyone laughed and said: "Everyone is here."
The maid nodded and said: "The Palace Master is here, summoning all the Palace Masters to the main hall to discuss matters."
A group of Palace Masters immediately stood up and filed out. Who would have thought that the maid who summoned them would reach out and stop the two people behind Yang Qing, and asked: "Excuse me, Palace Master Yang, are these two Xiong Xiao and Miao Yi?"
Xiong Xiao and Miao Yi were stunned. How could this little maid know our names?
The other Palace Masters who left the door couldn't help but look back a few more times, and surprise flashed in their eyes.
Yang Qing nodded slightly and said: "That's right!"
The maid said in a crisp voice: "The main hall is for discussion. No one is allowed to enter. They should stay here."
Yang Qing was slightly startled, then turned back and said to the two of them, "You two stay here."
"Yes!" The two of them bowed and stayed.
After all the palace masters had left, the little maid stretched out her hand again and said, "Please wait a moment, please sit down and have some tea."
The two of them had no choice but to find a seat and sit down. It was not their turn to sit down before.
However, the waiting room was empty at this time. Only Miao Yi and Xiong Xiao, two old enemies, looked at each other from time to time, staring at each other. There were no polite words. It was good not to fight, but they just didn't dare to make trouble here.
The little maid waited quietly by the side. When she saw the two of them finished their tea, she immediately poured tea for them.
"Miss, how do you know about us two?"
Xiong Xiao, who had drunk another cup of tea, suddenly tried to ask a question. He wanted to ask about something indirectly. He always felt that Yang Qing must have brought them here for something special.
The maid smiled slightly, poured tea for him, and held out her hand for him to drink, but she didn't say anything, and didn't say anything she shouldn't say.
Xiong Xiao's expression froze. He couldn't force her to reply if she didn't reply. This was not the place for him to run wild.
Seeing Xiong Xiao being humiliated, Miao Yi couldn't help but laugh, as if he was gloating over someone else's misfortune.
Xiong Xiao looked at him with a sneer.
After a long while, Miao Yi, who looked around, felt that the atmosphere here made him uncomfortable, especially since there was Xiong Xiao sitting next to him who wanted to splash tea on his face.
After a while, Miao Yi couldn't sit still anymore, and couldn't help asking: "Miss, it's a bit boring to stay here. This is my first time in Zhenyi Palace. Can I go out for a walk?"
The maid smiled and said: "Don't run too far, don't go into places you shouldn't go into."
"Haha, I'll remember it. Thank you for your advice, Miss!" Miao Yi immediately stood up and bowed happily, and took out a "red envelope" from the storage ring and stuffed it into the other person's hand, "It's just a small gift, please don't be polite, Miss."
The maid pursed her lips and nodded, and accepted it.
Miao Yi walked out in a swagger, and walked out of the door, with his hands behind his back, and walked away leisurely.
Xiong Xiao was a little stunned. He really didn't prepare a 'red envelope' for such a small character. Miao Yi gave it to him, so he couldn't refuse it. He turned around and evaded it. He picked up something from his storage ring and made a 'red envelope' for the young lady to accept. He was implicated...
In the main hall of Zhenyi Palace, Huo Lingxiao, wearing a thin gray cloth gown, with his hair tied up with a green hairpin, sat on the top with an expressionless face. He lowered his eyelids slightly without saying a word, and occasionally glanced at the people below with a gleam in his eyes.
"...Even if Zhang Decheng was wrong, you can report it after killing Zhang Decheng. The Palace Master will select the Lord of Changping Prefecture. Why did you capture Changping Prefecture? What qualifications do you have to pay for Changping Prefecture's harvest this year? Palace Master! Yang Qing is worthy of death..."
In the main hall, only He Yunye's voice was arguing non-stop, condemning Yang Qing with a plausible argument, naturally because of the matter between Yang Qing and Zhang Decheng.
Yang Qing just made a clear and logical defense for himself at the beginning, and put all the blame on Zhang Decheng.
As for He Yunye's accusation, he didn't say a word, didn't defend himself, just like an outsider, watching coldly, to see how long He Yunye could talk.
He knew very well that he had done what he should and shouldn't do, and it was useless to argue with anyone. He killed the confidant of Han Liuping, betrayed Feng Zhihuan, and killed the confidant of He Yunye. No one would speak for him. He had become a lone minister of Zhenyi Palace. It was useless to say more. If he said too much, it might be counterproductive, making people think that he, Yang Qing, was arrogant and disrespectful. In the end, it all depended on how the Palace Master decided.
In fact, he was not worried at all. After he occupied Changping Mansion, the Palace Master did not react at the first time, so he had a vague judgment that this disaster should be over, and the battle he had worked so hard to turn defeat into victory should be in the eyes of the Palace Master.
His response at this time was not wrong. After he said what he should say and shut up, He Yunye became the only one in the hall showing his anger.
As time went on, even He Yunye himself felt something was wrong. He was the only one here who kept accusing and cursing. His voice was the only one that kept ringing in the hall. Compared with Yang Qing's calmness, he seemed to be performing to attract attention. He had lost his demeanor. His momentum paused and his words gradually weakened.
Sitting high, Huo Lingxiao looked at everyone and found that Yang Qing had really offended everyone. None of the three major walkers spoke for him, and none of the other house masters and deacons supported him.
Became a lone minister? Very good, what we want is a lone minister who has no one to rely on. If you offend everyone and have no one to rely on, you can only obey me! Huo Lingxiao opened his eyes and kept silent. He suddenly spoke and interrupted He Yunye's words, "Yang Qing!"
He Yunye was speechless. Yang Qing stepped out and clasped his fists, "I'm here!" (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature. The novel is better and updated faster!
