Just like what those people thought, those high ranking officials were demoted. Those who were promoted were those who were loyal to Xiao Qi Feng.
Other than that, there were also many new faces that joined in. Xiao Qi Feng had a satisfied expression seeing them kneeling on the ground, they knew that those later generations were people Xiao Qi Feng took a liking to.
Indeed, among these later generation, Xiao Qi Feng promoted many young and outstanding talents
Half of the people in the imperial court were demoted and replaced, Xiao Qi Feng was not feeling soft-hearted at all.
Although the outsiders had already guessed what happened in the imperial court, everyone had become more cautious in that short moment.
Qiao Tian Chang looked at Nangong Yue: “How do you plan to handle him?”
”Can I be that you all plan to kill me?” Nangong Yue who had restored his original appearance looked at Qiao Tian Chang in ridicule.
So what if he participated in Xiao Empire’s rebellion? Even if he was to be handled, it would not be these people’s turn to take action.
Qiao Tian Chang walked towards Nangong Yue, he squatted down and had mockery in his eyes: “Do you really think that we do not know anything? How many of these officials have you bribed? How many have you killed?” A portion of those officials who sided with Marquis Ling were Nangong Yue’s men.
Nangong Yue immediately lifted his head and looked at Qiao Tian Chang, there was a strong killing intent in his eyes.
”Moreover, we did not say that we must kill you. There’s a saying, getting revenge by paying somebody back at his own game.”
Nangong Yue had a bad premonition due to Qiao Tian Chang’s words: “What are you going to do?”
”We’re not going to do anything, but we’re still able to use a Gu worm to control someone.”
Nangong Yue recalled the person from Miaojiang at Qiao Tian Chang’s side, there was panic on his face. He never wished to be in contact with things like Gu worms, there’s no way to extricate oneself after being in contact with those things, he would definitely die.
Qiao Tian Chang took out a crimson-colored pill, he ignored Nangong Yue’s objection and stuff in into Nangong Yue’s throat.
The pill melted in the mouth, it was already too late even if Nangong Yue wanted to spit it out.
”What did you feed me?” He found that thing more horrifying than Gu worms.
”It’s nothing, it’s just poison integrated with Gu worms researched by Nan Yu and Qing Shuang, the poison would immediately be triggered if the Gu worm is forced out. At that time, even I won’t know how you died,” The casual mention gave people the creeps.
”You……”
”Of course, you can also stop thinking about detoxifying. Once you detoxify, the Gu worms will begin nibbling your internal organs. At that time, you will enjoy the feeling of a life worse than death. Oh, right, before I forget, if you’re being disobedient, I actually won’t know what your ending would be like,” Qiao Tian Chang said without the slightest sense of responsibility.
Xiao Qi Tian seeing Qiao Tian Chang acting that way couldn’t help but retreat a few steps. Errr, being together with a psycho for such a long time, he had also become a psycho, why what he mentioned doesn’t sound frightening at all?
Even if Qiao Tian Chang did not speak clearly, he was able to sense that if he really contradicted Qiao Tian Chang, his end result would be almost similar to being poisoned.
”Your majesty, I’ll hand the rest of the matters to you. I need to return to the General’s Residence to take a look,” He was a little worried that something might happen to the General’s Residence.
”Go ahead.”
Qiao Tian Chang left in large strides. Nangong Yue would be temporarily imprisoned in the temporary residence, he was still useful to them.
Qiao Tian Chang quickly rushed back, he was relieved that the commoners in the capital were not really affected.
Qiao Tian Chang smelled a dense stench of blood just as he stepped into the General’s Residence, which proves that a battle had occurred in the General’s Residence.
Qiao Tian Chang turned to the courtyard and saw Ning Meng Yao sunbathing in the courtyard. He was relieved when he realized there was nothing unusual about her body.
”Yao Yao, are you alright?”
Ning Meng Yao gently shook her head: “I’m fine, Ling Luo has been captured, I’ve had someone send him to the imperial palace.”
Qiao Tian Chang nodded his head: “Okay, it’s also good. We’ll return to White Mountain Village after Qi Tian gets married.”
