Volume 3 Chapter 48: Joy is only temporary

At this time, Nangong Xiao was dressed in a dark brown robe, which was obviously engraved with special lines, highlighting a few gold threads, which was very noble.

This is the dress of the lord of the city, the dress at the time of the seal.

Nangong Xiao stepped up to the printing platform and stood in the middle, kneeling down on his knees and hanging in the air with his hands outstretched.

Fang Yuan held a wooden box in his hand and strode over to Nangong Xiao, and said with a smile: "Congratulations, City Lord." ”

"Thank you, Elder Fang. Nangong Xiao happily took the wooden box, reached into his hand and took out the city lord's order, held it in the palm of his hand and looked up at the sky, his eyes closed.

In less than a few quarters of an hour, a dazzling light suddenly appeared in Nangong Xiao's palm, and this light appeared to show that Nangong Xiao had been recognized, and thus truly became the master of the Eastern Realm!

Not far away, Nangong Che was standing there alone, with his hands behind his back and his eyes extremely complicated.

Looking at the light, his eyes closed, and he remembered that when he gave the seal, it was his father who personally handed over the city lord's order to him.

I still remember my father's words: In the future, no matter what happens, you only need to remember one thing, protect the eastern border and protect your younger brothers.

It can be said that Nangong Che has done it to protect the eastern border, but the latter Nangong Che is a little guilty.

Today's steps are carefully planned, and the momentary scenery is only temporary.

If he hadn't done this, then Nangong Che would have been lying in the coffin board today, instead of standing here unharmed.

But no matter how you say that Nangong Xiao is his sibling, as a family, Nangong Che will not be killed!

Suddenly, there was a "ding" sound, the light rose to the sky, and fell from the sky, Nangong Xiao closed his eyes tightly, surrounded by light, and after a while, he slowly floated up, turned in a circle, and disappeared with a whoosh.

The light disappeared, Nangong Xiao fell, slowly opened his eyes, stood up and looked down at himself.

Unfolding his hand, Nangong Xiao turned around, and suddenly found that there was an additional pure power in his body after the seal, which seemed to be able to contain all things.

When everyone present saw this, they applauded in unison and said, "Congratulations to the city lord, congratulations to the city lord." ”

"Congratulations to the city lord, congratulations to the city lord. ”

The loud voice kept lingering in Nangong Xiao's ears, and he consciously turned his head to look at everyone, there was a special feeling of being so honored by everyone.

It seems that the position of this city lord is really very good, Nangong Xiao smiled slightly, and looked at everyone with a faint smile.

After the seal was awarded, Nangong Xiao set up a celebration banquet in the dining area hall of the City Lord's Mansion.

The sunset gradually appears, the night is slowly approaching, and the sound of the dripping water next to the rockery reveals a coolness, which makes people feel refreshed.

The maids of the City Lord's Mansion were so busy that their legs were almost broken.

The pungent aroma of vegetables is coming to your face, and even if you block your nose, the fragrance can still invade.

The elders in the hall were sitting there, except for the person who was standing on Nangong Che's side, everyone else had arrived.

Nangong Xiao picked up the wine glass and stood up and said to everyone: "From today on, this son is the lord of a city in the eastern realm, and I hope that the elders will bear with me in the future." ”

Instead of letting the elders bear more with the city lord, it is better to let the city lord bear with the elders more.

Hearing this, Fang Yuan was the first to stand up and correct it.

"Eh, the lord of the city is not right, how can the lord of the city ask us old bones to bear with us, isn't this tormenting us. ”

Seeing Fang Yuan stand up and reply, the other elders also stood up and picked up their wine glasses one by one.

"Elder Fang's words are reasonable, how can there be a reverse reason. ”

"Yes, yes, the city lord has really tormented us, and we will have to rely on the city lord a lot in the future. ”

"Yes, we toast the city lord. ”

The people who spoke were all elders, and those who were on Nangong Xiao's side were eager to catch up and stammer.

After listening to the words of a few people, Nangong Xiao drank all the wine in the cup!

The cup was empty, and not a drop remained.

Seeing that the city lord was so refreshed, the other elders also raised their glasses and drank it all.

This day is very comfortable for Nangong Xiao, but the comfortable days are only a few days.

After the banquet was over, he walked slowly all the way to the garden, listening to the people in the mansion respecting him, especially the honorific title of "city lord", which made Nangong Xiao have an inexplicable sense of superiority, and always felt that the Venerable was inferior.

This kind of feeling has been dreamed of by Nangong Xiao before, and when he thought of this, Nangong Xiao unconsciously lost his mind.

At this moment, the light in the study suddenly turned on inexplicably.

Through the doors and windows, a dark shadow could be seen inside, sitting motionless.

Nangong Xiao's brows moved, and he quickly thought of who it was.

He pushed the door open and entered, and saw Stygian sitting there, drinking tea.

Ming Xuan almost regards the City Lord's Mansion as his own home, without the slightest politeness, as long as there is something in the study that can be eaten, Ming Xuan has to try it.

Seeing this, Nangong Xiao seemed to be a little displeased.

The city lord's mansion has to respect himself for three points, but he ......

At this time, Nangong Xiao was still indulging in that sense of superiority, and he didn't get used to it for a while, and he forgot the connection and agreement between himself and Mingxuan.

There was a creak of the door, and Nangong Xiao closed the door tightly.

Mingxuan clapped his hands, took a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth, brushed his clothes, got up and turned back.

"Ah, our lord has returned. Stygian said with a smile.

The more he smiled like this, the more uneasy Nangong Xiao felt.

Although I haven't been with the underworld for a long time, I've learned a little bit about it.

It is not an exaggeration to say that he is ruthless, but he is also selfish and unscrupulous.

"Why didn't the sect master send someone to squeak me when he came, so that I could get ready and prepare!" Nangong Xiao was obviously displeased, and had to lower his voice for the sake of that deal.

At this time, Nangong Xiao's strength was still far from dealing with Ming Xuan, for fear that one would lose his life if he was not careful.

"Haha, it's rare that the city lord has a heart, and this time I will come for that matter. ”

"Oh?" Nangong Xiao raised his eyebrows, pretending not to know.

"Hmm, now that the city lord has got what he wants, he has forgotten about the affairs of this sect?" Seeing Nangong Xiao's face, Ying Xuan saw through that he was pretending at a glance.

See through but don't say it explicitly!

Ming Xuan handed Nangong Xiao a look, and his figure immediately trembled.

"How dare I, sect master, besides, I'm not a person who forgets righteousness, right?"

"That's right, I don't think you have the guts. ”

After this sentence was lagging behind, Nangong Xiao secretly embarrassed himself.

"Yes, yes, sect master, please come with me. Mingxuan's words fell on Nangong Xiao's ears, and he immediately wiped his sweat secretly and was speechless.

If he hadn't made an appointment with him, he Nangong Xiao really wouldn't seem to be afraid of him.

Nangong Xiao looked solemnly at Ming Xuan, whispered, pushed the door and walked out in the direction of the family ancestral hall.

There is a pavilion in this direction, a swing next to it, a pond next to it, and a rockery in the past, next to which there is a flickering secret door.

Inside this secret door, there is a secret of the Nangong family for generations, which is equivalent to a document room, and only the city lord has permission to enter.

And what the mysteries want is here, not so much in this as a guiding direction.
