Chapter 486 Subduing the "Genius"
"Your Majesty! Great news! Incredibly good news!"
The eunuch shouted excitedly as he ran quickly to the gate of the Great Sun Hall.
Xu Tianran raised his hand, signaling for his eunuch to come in.
"How is it? Have you confirmed that Wen Ziyi has swallowed the control pill?" Xu Tianran glanced at the eunuch and continued with his work.
Although he could delegate all these political affairs to his advisors, he felt that it was best to keep everything in the empire under his control during this period.
The eunuch nodded, knelt on the ground, and said, "This old servant personally witnessed Commander Ju Zi take out the control pill and give it to Wen Ziyi to swallow!"
"What about Wen Ziyi? What was his reaction?" Xu Tianran asked.
"There was no resistance; they've resigned themselves to their fate, becoming a tool under Commander Orange's command," the eunuch said with a grin.
Xu Tianran closed the memorial in his hand and placed it aside. "Very good. It seems I was too lenient with those people back then. Faced with death, those who have lost all their trump cards, whether geniuses or the most arrogant, will bow their heads!"
"I thought Wen Ziyi would bravely face death, but he has also given me some good news. Now that there is a leader, the rest should behave themselves. What is the reaction of the remaining few?"
The eunuch recalled the reactions of the remaining people in the dungeon at the time and said, "The herb-gathering girl was very agitated, seemingly angry because of Wen Ziyi's surrender. Old Zhang kept sighing, while Tie Niu and Wu Hou were either very quiet or asleep."
Upon hearing this, Xu Tianran remained calm and composed. "So, you're ready to set off?"
The eunuch lowered his head and remained silent. At this moment, the usually quiet Xu Tianran was actually seething with rage.
The atmosphere in the Great Sun Hall fell silent for a moment, with only the sound of sand flowing quietly in the vast hall.
Xu Tianran suddenly remembered that the eunuch seemed to have said that the herb-gathering girl also had a significant reaction?
If there is a response, it means there is an opportunity to communicate, and being able to communicate means that language can be used to manipulate people.
Those who could be personally imprisoned in the dungeon by Xu Tianran were all talents he wanted to obtain.
"Tell Orange that the matter of recruiting them into the army is in her hands. Now that we've started, the rest will waver. If there's an opportunity, recruit the remaining people as well," Xu Tianran said calmly.
The eunuch nodded, knelt and retreated, exiting the Great Sun Hall.
"The herb-gathering woman, Old Zhang, Marquis Wu, Iron Ox, and that madman—let's see if Orange can still create surprises for me." Xu Tianran picked up the imperial pen again and opened a new memorial.
Xu Tianran will do everything in his power, even by any means necessary, to strengthen his own position.
Whether the herb-gathering women will remain loyal can be solved with just one control pill.
However, Xu Tianran's arrangement for Ju Zi to be recruited by the emperor would cause dissatisfaction among some ministers in the court.
After all, Wen Ziyi and his group were all carrying extremely serious crimes. For example, Wen Ziyi was once the Second Prince's strategist, and the herb-gathering girl used her poison skills to kill an entire Prince's mansion.
These accusations, once they reached the ears of the ministers, would stir their nerves, causing them to band together and file complaints against Emperor Xu Tianran.
Xu Tianran paid no attention to the questions posed by the court officials.
Anyway, the herb-gathering girl poisoned that unfortunate prince, not herself.
If people get what they've always wanted without any effort, they'll want more.
Xu Tianran, on the other hand, is now very interested in whether the remaining people can be used for his own purposes after he has recruited Wen Ziyi.
Having worked under Xu Tianran for so many years, Orange could naturally guess Xu Tianran's thoughts.
dungeon.
After recruiting Wen Ziyi, Ju Zi set her sights on the herb-gathering girl.
Looking at the herb-gathering woman's disheveled hair, Orange could sense the hostile gaze hidden beneath it.
"Bai Yueqian, I, the commander, hereby summon you in the name of the Sun and Moon Emperor to receive his grace. Your sins will be temporarily postponed, and you will serve the Sun and Moon Empire as a convict until your accumulated merits offset your sins. Are you willing?" Ju Zi said loudly.
Bai Yueqian, the herb-gathering girl, trembled violently as she gripped the railing, and even her usually barely audible breathing became heavy.
Wen Ziyi stood behind Ju Zi and glanced at the doorway.
"My lord, I suggest we be direct and skip these formalities."
Orange nodded. "I know, it's become a habit, I can't stop."
"Bai Yueqian, become my subordinate!"
Upon hearing this, the herb-gathering woman loosened her grip on the railing, tilted her head slightly, and stared at the oranges, seemingly puzzled.
Wen Ziyi coughed and said, "Commander, do you know that Mr. Fox?"
After he finished speaking, the herb-gathering woman still didn't react.
Until Elder Zhang, who was sitting to the side, couldn't help but cough and say, "Young friend Ye, it seems that your martial spirit is a fox."
Hearing Wen Ziyi and Zhang Lao's words, the herb-gathering girl suddenly realized that the oranges in front of her had some kind of cooperative relationship with Ye Nanxiao.
"Are you Ye Nanxiao's subordinate?" the herb-gathering woman asked.
"Ahem! To be precise, it's a cooperative relationship, a steadfast ally, but sooner or later, I'll ride roughshod over him!" Orange said confidently.
Subordinate? He'll be your boss sooner or later!
She's young, a genius girl, and embarks on her journey with the dream of becoming the boss of that scoundrel fox, so that he can serve her tea.
"So, you're here to help me?" the herb-gathering woman asked.
Orange nodded. "Let me introduce myself. My name is Orange. I used to be a shadow, and now I am the commander of the 'Hand of the Nation,' leading the 'Hand of the Nation.' However, my identity is somewhat special, so I need a lot of manpower. I know that you are all very talented people, but you have been forced to stay here and waste your lives because of some unfounded things. So today, I am here."
"That's an interesting explanation." Wen Ziyi carefully considered Ju Zi's explanation, and Ye Nanxiao's face involuntarily came to mind.
The herb-gathering woman wasn't interested in the orange's identity; she simply asked, "Can you help me?"
Although she had avenged her family, she had only personally tried the main culprit; she still harbored much hatred and had not yet exacted revenge.
Ju Zi understood what the herb-gathering woman meant and nodded, "Once I've gained enough power, it will be as easy as turning my hand."
Once she has complete control of the four legions, she will be the commander-in-chief of the entire army under the imperial city. At that time, even if she does not take the initiative, Xu Tianran will take action against the remaining princes of the royal family and consolidate power.
Upon hearing Ju Zi's promise, Bai Yueqian immediately brushed aside her disheveled hair and knelt on one knee before Ju Zi, saying, "Bai Yueqian greets Master."
Even in the dungeon, Bai Yueqian still had a pair of incredibly bright eyes.
Wen Ziyi, with keen insight, stepped forward, took out the key, and opened Bai Yueqian's cell.
Ju Zi stepped forward and helped Bai Yueqian up, showing no disdain for Bai Yueqian being a prisoner. She held Bai Yueqian's hands and said, "From now on, we are comrades-in-arms. To me, there are only brothers-in-arms, no masters and servants!"
The latest novel is first published here!
"Yueqian, listen to my command!" Bai Yueqian imitated Wen Ziyi and stood behind Ju Zi.
"Where did you get the key?" Orange asked Wen Ziyi.
"When that jailer let me out just now, he was too careless with the key and it fell right in front of me," Wen Ziyi said with a slight smile.
He didn't steal it; the jailer was just too careless.
"Don't get too close to Ye Nanxiao in the future, lest you learn bad habits," Orange reminded him, her gaze falling on the remaining four prison cells.
"Wuhou, Tie Niu, Elder Zhang, and the one who's been eavesdropping all this time, are you all willing to accept my summons?" Ju Zi asked.
"Of course! Once we get out, we'll have beautiful women to meet and delicacies to enjoy!" Feng Jinghuai exclaimed excitedly as he leaped up.
Tie Niu grunted, but before he could speak, Old Zhang spoke first, "Young lady, you must have already planned how many people you could take away this time, right?"
"Given His Majesty's current temperament, I think it would be better for me to wait a little longer."
"If Elder Zhang stays, then I'll stay too!" Tie Niu said.
Ju Zi glanced at the deepest cell, waited quietly for a while, and then had Wen Ziyi open Feng Jinghuai's cell.
Old Zhang is right; she was able to take three people with her this time, which was pretty much her limit.
Feng Jinghuai's crime was the least important. He simply couldn't stand being framed by a member of the royal family, so he stormed into the royal family's residence, beat the man half to death, and ended up in prison.
The crimes committed by Bai Yueqian and Wen Ziyi were enough to make the court officials tremble.
If we add Tie Niu and Old Zhang to the mix, even Xu Tianran probably wouldn't be able to exonerate her.
Ju Zi gave the composed Old Zhang a deep look, put away the silencing bead, and led Wen Ziyi and the other two toward the prison exit.
The dim light at the entrance illuminated the long-dormant hearts of Wen Ziyi and his companions.
Ju Zi placed the written order given to her by Xu Tianran on the jailer's table, then walked out of the dungeon, reached into her pocket, and activated an encrypted communication soul tool.
Aodu Chamber of Commerce.
Having just returned with a large investment, Ye Nanxiao happily picked up the design blueprints for the Aodu Building.
Feng Shiyi followed behind Ye Nanxiao, accompanying him on a tour of the Aodu Building.
Ye Nanxiao went up to the tenth floor, which was originally planned to be the area for building a laboratory. However, the entire laboratory was later moved downstairs, and the upper floor was simply left idle, awaiting the next step of the plan.
Ye Nanxiao glanced around and muttered to himself, "The necessary facilities have all been completed. If we build another laboratory, there won't be enough people to use it. Using it as a warehouse isn't ideal either, but leaving it empty is a bit of a waste."
The encrypted communication soul tool in his arms suddenly vibrated, and Ye Nanxiao took it out to take a look.
It was a very short message with only one word on it.
Okay.
Ye Nanxiao grinned. The matter was settled, and their plan could take another big step forward.
"Boss, what kind of renovation do you want to do here?" Feng Shiyi asked.
Ye Nanxiao suddenly noticed a pot of cabbage and garlic sprouts placed in the corner by Qiu Yezhong.
It seems that some kind of genetic memory within my body has awakened.
"Let's lift up the floorboards and turn over the soil. I'll see if I can grow a patch of land," Ye Nanxiao said eagerly.
Farming?
Feng Shiyi felt that today was another day where she couldn't keep up with her boss's train of thought at all, and she was so tired.

Please forgive me...
