After going back and forth many times, he moved all the incense beads in the secret room to near the exit, and took another box of coins, before Chu Tianshu returned to the outside.
At this time, the succession ceremony of the City Lord's Mansion was almost ready.
In the large square inside the palace gate, seats were arranged on the high platform, which were prepared for the palace master Fang Pifu and all the city lords who came to watch the ceremony.
In the square, the guards of the Lord's Mansion of Giant Sword City were already lined up in order.
Next to the procession, there was a small area where the palace master Fang Pifu and the close guards of the city lords who came to watch the ceremony were lined up.
Jian Qingxuan has also packed up.
She changed out of the long skirt she usually wore, and instead wore a bright silver armor with a red feather satin cloak, which made her pretty face glow with color.
At this time, Jian Qingxuan's heroic appearance was also a bit pretty, which made people's hearts flutter.
Even Qing Qing, who had grown up with Jian Qingxuan, couldn't help but be stunned and murmured to herself: "Miss, you look so good dressed like this."
This is the first time that Jian Qingxuan has been wearing a military uniform since he was a child, so it is also the first time for Qingqing to see Jian Qingxuan dressed like this.
Jian Qingxuan smiled: "Really?"
"Um."
Qingqing nodded hurriedly.
Jian Qingxuan chuckled and said, "If you like it, I'll prepare one for you."
No matter what kind of woman she is, she cannot resist the pleasure of others complimenting her on her beauty.
Qingqing said: "I have no cultivation, so I will be laughed at if I wear a military uniform..."
Having said this, Qingqing paused and asked cautiously: "Miss, can you teach me how to practice?"
Jian Qingxuan smiled and said: "I can't even use my own cultivation, so you can rest assured and let me teach you?"
Qingqing's expression turned gloomy, and she said with a somewhat sad tone: "No matter how bad the young lady is, she is much better than me. I just... just don't want to be an ordinary person anymore. If I had the cultivation level, I could have resisted them last time.
…”
Her eyes were a little red: "I have been thinking these past few days, if I had the cultivation level, even if I still couldn't defeat them at that time, I could still fight them desperately.
If I had the ability to resist, even if I was killed in the process of resisting, it would be better than having no ability to resist like that day and being restrained by them before I had time to react."
Jian Qingxuan wiped away the tears on his green cheeks and said softly: "When this time is over, I will let Grandpa Yun teach you in person, okay?"
"Yes." Qingqing wiped her tears, "Thank you, miss."
Jian Qingxuan said: "What are you talking about? We are sisters."
Qingqing nodded heavily: "Yes, sisters."
At this time, Jian Yun's voice came from outside: "Miss, it's time for you to invite the palace master and the city lords."
"I know, Grandpa Yun."
Jian Qingxuan responded, looking at Qingqing's red eyes, and said to Qingqing: "You have a rest, you don't have to follow me."
Qingqing knew that Jian Qingxuan was considerate of her poor condition, and with her status, she was indeed not qualified to be with Jian Qingxuan at this time.
I'm afraid, even Jian Yun doesn't have that qualification.
However, after Jian Qingxuan went out, she followed him from a distance.
Although she did not have the opportunity to closely participate in this important moment when Jian Qingxuan took over the position of city lord, Qingqing also wanted to witness it from a distance.
Jian Qingxuan first went to Fang Bifu's residence.
This is the courtyard specially arranged by the Jian family to receive distinguished guests. Although it is a guest room, it is second only to the city lord's residence where Jian Xi came to live. Even the courtyard where Jian Qingxuan lives is inferior.
In the large hall, Fang Pifu sat at the head, Chu Sui stood beside him, and Jian Xizhou sat beside him on his left hand.
The city lords who had been invited by Fang Pifu to watch the ceremony sat down on the left and right at the bottom.
Ordinarily, Jian Xizhou was not qualified to sit at the head of the other city lords, but he came to entertain them as the master, and given his cultivation level, the city lords couldn't say anything.
Jian Qingxuan walked in from outside, saluted Fang Pifu first and said, "I have met the palace master."
Fang Pifu nodded slightly in greeting.
Jian Qingxuan saluted the city lords who were looking down at him: "I have met all of you city lords."
Those city lords, naturally, could not do what Fang Pifu did and stood up to return the favor.
After both parties had greeted each other, Fang Pifu said in a deep voice: "Everyone, from today on, Jian Qingxuan is the new city lord of Jusword City. Please come here to be a witness for her."
The city lords saluted Jian Qingxuan again and shouted in unison: "Jian City Lord."
Jian Qingxuan returned the favor again.
Fang Bifu said: "In the future, you still need to help each other, so that I, Renyin Palace, can break into the barbarians as soon as possible and unify the barbarian world."
Everyone said in unison: "I sincerely follow the teachings of the master of the palace."
Jian Qingxuan said: "Palace Master, city lords, please move to the viewing platform."
Fang Pifu stood up and said, "Then let's go."
At that moment, everyone walked out under the leadership of Fang Pifu.
Chu Tianshu was still wearing the same clothes as a servant, with a cloth half covering his face.
Seeing Jian Qingxuan and others coming out, he followed them from a distance.
Jian Qingxuan and others walked into the square, and the soldiers who had lined up neatly waved their weapons and shouted in harmony: "Kill...kill...kill..."
The sound shakes the world.
Amidst the rising and rising sounds of "killing", Jian Qingxuan and others walked towards the high platform.
Jian Qingxuan's succession to the throne was a happy event, so the city lord's palace did not order the servants to watch. Therefore, almost all the servants who were not on duty gathered around the square to feel the joy.
Qingqing stood at the front of the crowd, watching Jian Qingxuan walk towards the high platform.
At this moment, someone suddenly grabbed her arm from behind and pulled her out of the crowd.
Qingqing subconsciously wanted to scream, but someone covered her mouth.
Her eyes widened in fright, and suddenly she saw that the person pulling her was Chu Tianshu, and the horror in her eyes instantly turned into astonishment.
Chu Tianshu pulled Qingqing to the corner next to him and said with a solemn expression: "Qingqing, listen to me, I need you to go find Qingxuan now and tell her that I have something very important to see her."
Qingqing glanced in the direction of Jian Qingxuan and said awkwardly: "But..."
Chu Tianshu interrupted in a deep voice: "No but, it is related to her safety, you must do what I say."
He grabbed Qingqing's shoulders and said seriously: "Believe me, I will not harm you, let alone Qingxuan."
Chu Tianshu shook Qingqing: "Can you help me?"
Qingqing gritted her teeth, nodded heavily and said, "Yes."
After hearing what Chu Tianshu said was related to Jian Qingxuan's safety, Qingqing couldn't help but think of the tragedy that happened two days ago, and she really didn't dare to be careless.
Chu Tianshu warned again: "Remember, don't let others hear it. Tell Qingxuan that I only see her alone."
"good."
Qingqing responded and strode towards Jian Qingxuan.
