Chapter 1753 – The Seventh Commander-in-Chief
Shangjing City.
Wearing a space helmet, Lu Wuwei slowly landed between the mountains and fields in the suburbs on his electric bicycle.
”Ugh …… this fight is so tiring.” Lu Wuwei took off his helmet and inhaled a few mouthfuls of Earth’s fresh air vigorously, the whole person relaxed, “Recuperate for a day before going to deliver takeaways, first find a place to wash your feet.”
Lu Wuwei rode his electric bike and just drove out from the ravine, when the phone suddenly rang.
”Hello?”
”……”
”Oh, Secretary Min? What is it that you’re looking for me for?”
”……”
”I see, coming.”
Lu Wuwei sighed, and immediately turned the direction to Washfoot City and drove straight to the Vigilant Headquarters.
By the time he arrived, Min Junliang had already been waiting for a long time.
”Trouble Mr. Lu.”
Min Junliang smiled apologetically.
”No way, get in the car, I’ll take you to him.”
Lu Wuwei took out a new helmet from underneath the car seat and gave it to Min Junliang to put on, and the propellers of the two little yellow ducks turned up at the same time and flew towards the sky ……
The clouds slowly receded underneath the two of them, and Min Junliang couldn’t help but speak as he probed and looked down:
”Mr. Lu, can we go faster?”
”This is already full speed.”
”…… “The corner of Min Junliang’s mouth twitched, “Mr. Lu, actually, I’ve always had a doubt.”
”What?”
”How did you ride into space with such a slow speed?”
”Mr. Chen’s carriage tied me up ah.”
Min Junliang: ヽ(ー_ー)ノ6
The two of them rode the electric bicycle, wobbling in the air for a long time before slowly descending, and at this moment, they had already arrived at the northern border of Da Xia.
They passed through the mountains and forests, leading all the way to Fengdu, and 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 great hall with his chin:
”He’s inside.”
Min Junliang frowned suspiciously as he stepped in front of the thick hall door, pressed his hands on it, and gave it a push!
Creak-!
The ancient gate of the Underworld slowly opened, and within the gray and gloomy hall, a figure wearing a large red scholar’s uniform was standing before the two coffins in a state of disorientation, as if he were a statue, not moving at all.
Seeing that person, Min Junliang’s eyes lit up as he quickly walked in.
”Director?”
”Director Lin Qiye?!”
Min Junliang walked up to him and shouted twice in succession before those empty eyes came back to life.
Lin Qiye rubbed his reddened eyes, his entire person indescribably haggard.
He hoarsely opened his mouth, “I recognize you, you’re Commander Zuo’s secretary …… Why are you here?”
Min Junliang’s expression suddenly became serious, “I came to ask you to go back and take over the Night Watch.”
Lin Qiye was first stunned, then spoke with some dismay:
”Take over the Night’s Watch? Me?”
”That’s right, Commander Left has already died in battle on the moon, the Night’s Watch needs a new leader, before he left, he left behind a handover document, if anything happens to him, you will be the seventh Commander-in-Chief of the Night’s Watch.”
”Why me? I remember him saying before that I wasn’t high on the list of candidates for Commander.”
”That was before.” Min Junliang took out a document from his arms and handed it over to Lin Qiye, “You served as the director of the Special Operations Division and have some of the top management experience, and most crucially, Commander Zuo has seen an ancient dossier from the Western Han Dynasty ……
He said that although he didn’t know what the [Holy Covenant] was, he had heard of the existence of a chess game, and you, most likely, are the one who came after that chess game.
Commander Zuo left the Vigilantes to you, also hoping that you can mobilize the Vigilantes’ resources and manpower to the greatest extent possible, to help you complete this chess game …… The Vigilantes need you, and you, too, need the Vigilantes.”
Lin Qiye looked at the list of obedience in his hands, and his entire body froze in place.
His name, from the original fifth place, was directly pulled to the first place by marking red …… From the moment Zuo Qing died, he was the seventh Commander in Chief of the Night’s Watch.
”Please ask Commander Lin to return to the capital and command the Night’s Watch.” Min Junliang spoke solemnly and incomparably.
Lin Qiye stared at the document for a long time in a daze, his hands clenching …… up with force as a determined shimmering light gradually surfaced in his gray and downcast eyes.
”Good.” Lin Qiye calmly spoke, “This appointment, I take it.”
Min Junliang’s eyes lit up, “Good! I’ll go prepare for the commander’s succession ceremony!”
”Wait.”
Min Junliang looked back in confusion.
”The succession ceremony, where is it usually held?”
”Shangjing.”
”This time, change the place ……”
”Change where?”
Lin Qiye raised his head to look into the distance and spoke in a single word:
”Jiuhua Mountain.”
Two days later.
On Mount Jiuhua.
The stern cold winds of autumn whisked across the stone steps, and fiery red maple leaves danced wildly across the mountain.
Beneath the thick clouds, the top of the Jiuhua Mountain was already full of silhouettes, vague thunder muffled their whispers, and a streak of lightning vaguely crossed the sky.
”Unexpectedly, this day has really come.”
Fang Mo was draped in a dark red cloak, with a straight sword hanging from his waist, and a Night’s Watch coat of arms hung neatly on his left chest, gleaming in the electric light.
”Yes …… Instructor Lin became the Commander in Chief, then we are also considered to be pro soldiers, right?” Su Zhe couldn’t help but lament, “Instructor Lin …… oh no, Commander Lin should take care of us, at least it will be easier to take leave?”
”You’re overthinking it, we’re not the only team that wants to take leave.” Li Zhenzhen glanced slyly at the platform not far from a higher section, the eight golden cloaks hunting in the wind, and whispered.
”That said, it’s the first time I’ve seen so many Vigilantes.”
”Normal, after all, it is the succession ceremony of the new commander, every city of Daxia’s Night’s Watch squad will have to send out one person to participate, plus all the special squads and reserve squads, as well as the top management of the Night’s Watch …… Even the human ceilings come to observe the ceremony, this is a really big battle! ”
”It’s a pity that we’re just the reserve squad …… If we were to turn into a special squad, we could go to the next level.”
”There’s only one last step left before the conversion, all be diligent, the sooner we become a true special squad, the sooner we can share Lord Seven Nights’ worries.” Fang Mo spoke seriously.
”Got it Got it …… Eh, he’s here.”
As if sensing something, the gazes of the crowd simultaneously looked down the mountain.
Ka-ching-
Thunder rolled, and red leaves danced wildly.
In the stern cold wind, a crimson cloak was walking along the stone steps, slowly coming.
The moment they saw that figure, all the night watchmen simultaneously lifted their chests and solemnly stared ahead, and the entire top of Jiuhua Mountain was so quiet that only the sound of wind and thunder remained.
