The fine snow is flying, adding snow-white silver makeup to the old dust valley...
The succession ceremony will be held in the afternoon...
The succession ceremony of the Blade Master has always been organized by the Council of Elders, and this time is no exception.
In the square in front of the Palace of Blades, rows of guards stood in full uniform, and the sound of trumpets spread throughout the palace gate and even the Old Chen Valley.
The red carpet covered the steps in front of the Blade Holding Hall and extended to the high platform outside the square. Three elders stood on the high platform wearing elder uniforms...
Gong Shangjiao was wearing a black-gold sword-wielding uniform, with a sword with laurel branches hanging on his waist. He walked on the red carpet and climbed up the stairs...
The guards on both sides of the steps are holding knives with kerosene on the blade. Wherever he passes, the guards will light the blade and pay tribute to the sword.
When passing by Zheng Palace, I saw Gong Yuanzheng sitting in the position of the Palace Master of Zheng Palace, and the seat next to him was empty.
Gong Shangjiao's expression did not change, he walked up to the high platform with steady steps and saluted the elders.
The horn sounded…
Elder Xue picked up the sword-holding seal from the jade plate held by Huang Yu and handed it to Gong Shangjiao.
"This is the seal of holding the sword. I grant it to you now. You shall hold the sword for the palace gate and be in charge of the palace gate."
Gong Shangjiao knelt down and took the sword seal: "Gong Shangjiao is willing to dedicate himself to the palace until his death."
Gong Shangjiao took the sword-wielding seal, turned around with a flick of his sleeves, and raised the seal toward the bottom of the high platform.
Everyone below had gathered under the high platform and saluted Gong Shangjiao again with a deafening voice: "See holding the sword."
Gong Shangjiao looked towards the audience, but did not find that figure. Sure enough, he did not come...
What exactly are you looking forward to?
"No gifts!" Gong Shangjiao's voice echoed in the square.
"Thank you for holding the blade!" Everyone returned to their seats.
Logically speaking, this sword-wielding succession ceremony should end here!
But the trumpet sounds again...
Everyone was startled. Gong Liushang frowned and looked at Gong Zishang. Gong Zishang said that he didn't know either.
Elder Hua stepped forward and once again read out the old letter before his death, which made everyone look at him sideways.
"Although it has been a long time since the power of dismissal has been granted to the palace gate, since it is the last order of the old master, I should abide by it. With this, I would like to inform the palace gate that today I also officially grant the power of dismissal to Gong Yaozheng. "Elder Yue explained.
When Gong Ziyu, who originally looked unconvinced, heard this, he looked down the stairs expectantly.
Sure enough, with another horn blast...
Gong Yaozheng appeared at the bottom of the steps, on the red carpet, dressed in a rich attire, a black robe with gilt ironing, even the hair accessories were extraordinarily solemn, with a stunning crane bun, and a slight sway in the golden twigs. Shake.
Gong Yaozheng's dress today was different from usual. The skirt with complicated patterns embroidered with gold thread shone with fine golden light. As she walked, the light flickered and was extremely luxurious.
Gong Shangjiao was on the high platform, looking at the girl walking towards him. Different from the casual indifference in peacetime, today's girl carries a flamboyant beauty, just like the sky flowers blooming in summer.
Gong Yaozheng walked step by step through the steps that Gong Shangjiao had just walked, and stood on the high platform with a smile on his lips, as if to say, I am not here to participate in your succession ceremony, I am one of the protagonists of this ceremony. .
Gong Shangjiao chuckled helplessly and took half a step to the side.
Gong Yaozheng took the opportunity to stand next to him, waiting for the announcement from Elder Xue's Palace.
Elder Xue took out a slightly smaller jade seal: "This jade seal is engraved with the lines on the jade pendant that holds the power of dismissal. The document of dismissal with the sword stamped with this seal will be effective. I grant it to you now, and you will do it." Be careful and live up to the trust of the old swordsman."
Gong Yaozheng knelt down to receive the jade seal: "Gong Yaozheng is willing to be the gate of the palace, supervise the use of the sword, and supervise the use of the sword at all times!"
Elder Xue's expression changed, and he reminded in a low voice: "Ayao, I'm wrong, I'm just going to die after dedicating myself to it."
Gong Yaozheng looked at Gong Shangjiao on the side, and saw that the corner of his mouth could not be suppressed, so he quickly changed his words: "I will do my best and die!"
After Gong Yaozheng took the jade seal, he faced the audience and raised the jade seal.
Those who hold the power of dismissal are like elders, just like a knife hanging on the head of the sword. They are always vigilant to hold the sword and not make wrong decisions.
Everyone stood up and saluted: "I've met the second lady!"
Gong Yaozheng: "No courtesy!"
"Thank you, Miss Second!"
Gong Yuanzheng looked at Gong Yuanzheng under the stage and winked at him. Gong Yuanzheng also smiled, and he knew that his sister liked her.
What a show!
Gong Yaozheng and Gong Shangjiao stood side by side on the stage, each holding a seal in their hands. It really looked like that...
After the succession ceremony, you usually go to the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors of the palace. Today is special, so let's go together!
When Gong Yaozheng heard that she wanted to pay homage to her ancestors, she suddenly wanted to give up her career. The hair accessories on her head were very heavy. Hey, she just wanted to go out and do a show!
But in full view of everyone, he still put the jade seal on the tray and followed Gong Shangjiao to the back mountain ancestral hall...
When the three elders arrived at the fork in the road, they stopped seeing each other off. They handed the things to the two of them and waited at the intersection.
Gong Yaozheng looked at the incense in his hand, and then at the wine in Gong Shangjiao's hand...
I had no choice but to follow Gong Shangjiao in the direction of the ancestral hall. Gong Yaozheng was a little overwhelmed. It was really far away!
Gong Shangjiao also noticed something was wrong with Gong Yaozheng and slowed down: "But are you tired?"
Gong Shangjiao took the incense from Gong Yaozheng's hand and tried to lighten her burden.
Gong Yaozheng:......
My biggest burden is on my head!
After looking behind him and unable to see the elder's figure, Gong Yaozheng squatted down and said, "Why don't you go by yourself, I can't walk anymore!"
Gong Shangjiao looked at Gong Yaozheng, whose long skirt was trailing to the floor, and then looked at the headdress on her head, and understood...
With a chuckle, he pulled her up, put his arms around her waist, used Qinggong and flew towards the ancestral hall.
The clothes are flying and shining, looking from a distance, they look like two golden phoenixes...
(Gong Yaozheng: How do you describe it? Author: I didn’t say you were a big cockroach, just thank God! Gong Yaozheng:...)
In a blink of an eye, they arrived at the entrance of the ancestral hall. Gong Yaozheng walked in first, looked at the ancestors at the gate, put his hands together and bowed first.
The guard guarding the ancestral hall lit the incense and handed it to the two of them.
The two of them knelt in front of the ancestral hall. Gong Shangjiao said something, and Gong Yaozheng followed him, which had its own echo effect.
"The twelfth man of Gongmen holds the sword, Gong Shangjiao." (Gongmen...Gong Yaozheng.)
"When you pay homage to your ancestors and inherit the position of holding the sword, you must be careful, do not forget danger, do not sit down in the hall, cultivate your character and behave cleanly, regard the palace gate as the most important, and shoulder the responsibility of holding the sword. The ancestors learn from this."
"Learning from our ancestors..."
The guard on the side lowered his head and his body was shaking a little. He had undergone strict training and generally would not smile.
but……
This scene is inexplicably funny...
Gong Shangjiao stepped forward and inserted the incense into the incense burner. He stretched out his hand to signal Gong Yaozheng to give the incense to him. Gong Yaozheng came to his senses and handed the incense over.
Gong Shangjiao knelt down again, poured two glasses of wine, and gave Gong Yaozheng one glass.
Gong Yaozheng didn't know why, so he took over...
I saw Gong Shangjiao holding a wine glass in his left hand and pouring the wine on the ground...
Follow along…
Second cup…
The third cup…
It was not until the fourth cup that Gong Shangjiao changed his right hand and stopped Gong Yaozheng from falling to the ground.
"Last drink, toast to me and you!"
Gong Yaozheng suddenly realized that one cup was for heaven, two cups for earth, and three cups for ancestors...
But is this last drink serious?
Gong Yaozheng was a little doubtful, but he still touched Gong Shangjiao's wine glasses and drank the wine.
The corners of Gong Shangjiao's mouth were slightly raised, and he lowered his eyes to drink. His eyelashes covered the dark light under his eyes.
The last cup was his selfish intention!
Today's ceremony, the first half is the ceremony, and the second half...
It's the secret in his heart and the fear...
The scene he had dreamed about in his dream, the girl in wedding clothes, climbed up the stairs, and walked towards him step by step under the witness of the elders.
That day he woke up with a start and felt sticky all over his body, which made him face up to his feelings.
But this feeling should never be put on the table!
He couldn't cross the chasm himself, let alone Ayao? He would never let Ayao get hurt, even if he was a little bit afraid.
Sometimes he even thought that there was no precedent for intermarriage among the four palaces, but no!
Nowadays, there is no stability in the palace and outside the rivers and lakes. Before the foreign troubles are over, how can we talk about the love between children?
Ayao has no thoughts now, so he shouldn't have either!
When the two returned to where the elders were waiting, they happened to see Gong Ziyu saying goodbye to Gong Zishang and Yun Weishan, carrying a suitcase on his back.
When Xu Shi saw Gong Yaozheng and Gong Shangjiao, Niu Niu stepped forward uncharacteristically and saluted: "I've seen sword-wielding, second sister."
The first sentence is reluctant, and the second sentence is full of joy: "Second sister, she looks so beautiful today!"
In the face of praise, Gong Yaozheng could not be cold-faced, and said with a smile: "Is Ziyu going to the Three Realms for a trial? Be careful along the way and stick to your heart."
What Gong Yaozheng said was so meaningful that Gong Shangjiao couldn't help but look sideways. Could it be that Ayao knew how to clear the first level?
Gong Yaozheng noticed Gong Shangjiao's gaze, turned his eyes and smiled at him, his eyes full of cunning.
Gong Ziyu pondered the last sentence carefully and stuck to his heart...
Gong Ziyu's eyes became determined. No matter what obstacles lie ahead, he would stick to his original intention and never forget his original intention!
After bidding farewell to the elders, Gong Shangjiao sent Gong Yuanzheng back to Zheng Palace. Gong Yuanzheng had prepared tea and cakes as expected: "Sister, you are tired, let's drink tea!"
Gong Yuanzheng was more than tired. He took back the tea handed over by Yuanzheng's brother and took a big sip, which made him feel better.
Gong Shangjiao also took the tea and asked: "Yuanzheng, what is going on?"
He had never heard the elders mention this last item before.
Gong Yuanzheng raised his head with a proud look on his face: "I left the Corner Palace yesterday and went directly to the Council of Elders, where I mentioned the power of dismissal to the elders. Since the succession ceremony of Blade Master is being held, why not make the power of dismissal to the public public. "
Gong Yaozheng put down his tea cup: "Yesterday, when my younger brother came back from the expedition, he informed me of this matter. My second brother won't blame me for stealing your limelight at the ceremony, right?" Gong Yaozheng pretended to be coy and joking.
Gong Shangjiao's eyes were doting and helpless: "If Ayao likes this kind of occasion, I will organize one for you next time."
Gong Yaozheng waved his hand quickly: "No, my head is heavy. Brother Yuanzheng, please help me remove these two steps and tie them around my hair."
Gong Yuanzheng tilted his head in the direction of Gong Yuanzheng, holding a pure gold walking stick in his hand, inlaid with dove egg-sized southern beads and gems.
Gong Yuanzheng stood up and picked up one end of Bu Yao: "Sister, please stop moving. It will get tighter and tighter in a while."
Gong Yaozheng quickly let go and sat down obediently...
Gong Shangjiao looked at Bu Yao on the head and thought it looked familiar: "Is this the mask I had someone send back for Ayao's birthday last year?"
"Second brother has a good memory. This mask only has one word, Hao!"
As he spoke, Gong Yaozheng unconsciously looked into Gong Shangjiao's eyes. The dream suddenly flashed in his mind, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Looking down, the lips in the dream had a cold breath, the breath lingered between the lips, with the breath of hunting in the restraint, and the powerful suppression made her irresistible.
Gong Yaozheng's ears started to turn red, his eyes wandered, and he didn't dare to look at him.
Gong Shangjiao also noticed Gong Yaozheng's gaze, his Adam's apple moved slightly, Ayao, this is...
Shy?
Gong Yaozheng's mind is filled with yellow waste right now. Ah, Gong Yaozheng, what are you thinking about? That's your brother! Are you crazy?
But it seems that it does have quite a bit of sexual tension!
I thought of the drama reviews I read before I traveled through time. Gong Er’s face looked like she had super fertility!
Gong Yaozheng couldn't hold down the corners of his mouth, so he covered his eyes: "Second brother, turn your face away! Hurry up!"
Gong Shangjiao:......
"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Gong Yuanzheng took the Bu Yao off, but saw his sister looking strange and a little confused.
"You are still young and don't understand!" Gong Yuanzheng turned his face, released his hands on his face, and looked at Gong Yuanzheng seriously.
"Sister, you don't still care about my brother stealing your wine, do you? You teased my brother later, and my brother didn't blame you!" Gong Yuanzheng's little mouth twitched, making Gong Shangjiao and Gong Yuanzheng look pale. All changed.
Gong Yaozheng is a little disillusioned. Is she teasing Gong Shangjiao? Can you borrow the courage from Gong Ziyu?
"Second, second brother, is what brother Yuanzheng said true?" Gong Yaozheng felt that this winter would not be cold anymore, and she wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
Gong Shangjiao nodded noncommittally, his expression unchanged, but the redness at the base of his ears gave him away.
"Second brother, please don't misunderstand me. I have absolutely no wrong thoughts towards you, I swear!" Gong Yaozheng raised three fingers to the sky and was about to say something else, but Gong Shangjiao interrupted her.
"There's no misunderstanding. It's all over. I didn't care." Gong Shangjiao's eyes darkened when he saw Gong Yaozheng looking like he wanted to end the relationship immediately.
Sure enough, some things, once revealed, will be bloody...
Gong Yuanzheng saw this scene from the side and lowered his eyes slightly. He didn't know what he was thinking. His sister and brother were acting abnormally today.
It made him think that his sister was attracted to his brother, but it turned out not to be the case?
In fact, if the sister and brother are together, can the three of them be together forever?
Never leave each other…
