Lu Wuwei was wearing a space helmet and riding a battery scooter slowly down among the mountains and fields in the suburbs.
"Sigh... I'm so tired from this fight." Lu Wuwei took off his helmet, took a few breaths of fresh earth air, and relaxed. "Let's rest for a day before going to deliver food. Find a place to wash your feet first.
"
Lu Wuwei was riding a battery-powered bicycle. As soon as he drove out of the ravine, the phone suddenly rang.
"Hello?"
"..."
"Oh, Secretary Min? What do you want from me?"
"..."
"I understand, here I go."
Lu Wuwei sighed, and immediately changed the direction to Foot Washing City and drove straight to the Night Watch Headquarters.
When he arrived, Min Junliang had been waiting for a long time.
"It's troublesome, Mr. Lu."
Min Junliang smiled apologetically.
"If it's somewhere, get in the car and I'll take you to find him."
Lu Wuwei took out a new helmet from under the car seat and put it on Min Junliang. The propellers of the two little yellow ducks turned at the same time and flew towards the sky...
The clouds slowly retreated under the two of them. Min Junliang looked down and couldn't help but say:
"Mr. Lu, can we hurry up?"
"This is full speed."
"..." Min Junliang's mouth twitched, "Mr. Lu, actually I have always had a doubt."
"What?"
"How did you ride into space with such a slow speed?"
"Master Chen's carriage tied me up."
Min Junliang:ヽ(ー_ー)ノ6
The two rode a battery car and flew in the air for a long time before slowly descending. At this moment, they had reached the northern border of Daxia.
They walked through the mountains and forests all the way to Fengdu. After driving through the deserted ghost streets, they finally stopped slowly in front of a large hall.
Lu Wuwei took off his helmet and pointed at the main hall with his chin:
"He's in there."
Min Junliang frowned in confusion. He walked up to the heavy palace door, put his hands on it, and pushed hard!
Squeak——!!
The ancient Netherworld gate slowly opened, and in the dark and cold hall, a figure wearing a bright red No. 1 Scholar uniform stood in front of two coffins in despair, as motionless as a sculpture.
Seeing that person, Min Junliang's eyes lit up and he walked in quickly.
"Director?"
"Director Lin Qiye?!"
Min Junliang walked up to him and shouted twice before his empty eyes came back to reality.
Lin Qiye rubbed his red eyes, feeling indescribably haggard.
He said hoarsely: "I recognize you, you are Commander Zuo's secretary... why are you here?"
Min Junliang's expression suddenly became serious, "I'm here to ask you to go back and take over the night watchman."
Lin Qiye was startled at first, and then said in shock:
"Take over the Night's Watch? Me?"
"That's right, Commander Zuo has died fighting on the moon. The Night Watch needs a new leader. Before he left, he left a handover document. If anything happens to him, you will be the seventh commander-in-chief of the Night Watch.
.”
"Why me? I remember he said before that I was not high on the candidate list for commander."
"That was before." Min Junliang took out a document from his arms and handed it to Lin Qiye, "You have served as the director of the Special Operations Division and have some high-level management experience. The most important thing is that Commander Zuo has read a document
Ancient records from the Western Han Dynasty...
He said that although he didn't know what [Covenant] was, he had heard of the existence of the chess game, and you were most likely the person behind that chess game.
Commander Zuo left the Night Watch to you in the hope that you can mobilize the resources and manpower of the Night Watch to the greatest extent to help you complete this chess game... The Night Watch needs you, and you, too, need the Night Watch."
Lin Qiye looked at the ranking list in his hand and froze on the spot.
His name was directly marked red from the fifth place to the first place... From the moment Zuo Qing died, he was the seventh commander-in-chief of the Night Watch.
"Commander Lin, please return to Beijing and take charge of the night watch." Min Junliang said solemnly.
Lin Qiye stared at the document blankly for a long time, then clenched it with both hands... A firm glimmer gradually appeared in those dark and depressed eyes.
"Okay." Lin Qiye said calmly, "I will accept this appointment."
Min Jun's eyes lit up, "Okay! I'll prepare for the commander's succession ceremony right away!"
"etc."
Min Junliang looked back in confusion.
"Where is the succession ceremony usually held?"
"Go to Beijing."
"This time, let's change the place..."
"Where to change?"
Lin Qiye raised his head and looked into the distance, and spoke word by word:
"Jiuhua mountain."
…
Two days later.
On Jiuhua Mountain.
The chilling wind of autumn blew through the stone steps, and the fiery red maple leaves danced wildly in the mountains.
Under the thick clouds, the top of Jiuhua Mountain was already full of human figures. The faint thunder covered their whispers, and streaks of lightning faintly flashed across the sky.
"I never expected that this day would actually come."
Fang Mo was wearing a dark red cloak, with a straight knife hanging on his waist, and a night watchman's emblem hung neatly on his left chest, shining brightly under the electric light.
"That's right... Instructor Lin has become the commander-in-chief, so we can be considered soldiers, right?" Su Zhe couldn't help but sigh, "Instructor Lin... oh no, Commander Lin should take care of us. At least it will be more convenient to ask for leave?"
"You are overthinking. We are not the only ones who want to take leave." Li Zhenzhen glanced at the higher platform not far away, where eight golden cloaks were flapping in the wind, and whispered.
"By the way, this is the first time I've seen so many night watchmen."
"It's normal. After all, it is the succession ceremony of the new commander. One person from the special teams in each city in Daxia must participate, plus all the special teams and reserve teams, as well as the top brass of the Night Watch... even the human ceilings are coming.
Watch the ceremony, this is a real grand battle!"
"It's a pity that we are only a reserve team... If we become a regular special team, we can reach a higher level."
"There is only one last step left before becoming a full-time member. Please work hard. The sooner we become a real special team, the sooner we can take care of Master Qiye." Fang Mo said seriously.
"I know, I know...hey, he's here."
As if they noticed something, everyone looked down the mountain at the same time.
Click——
Thunder is rolling, red leaves are dancing wildly,
In the chilling cold wind, a dark red cloak was walking slowly along the stone steps.
The moment they saw that figure, all the night watchmen raised their chests and raised their heads at the same time, looking solemnly ahead. The entire top of Jiuhua Mountain was quiet except for the sound of wind and thunder.
