C182 Deviation of responsibility

"No, you're trying to shirk responsibility!" Xi Yan strongly protested after hearing Chang Jing's words, "Push a girl like me onto the front desk, how shameless are you, a man? "I don't want to!"

Chang Jing laughed, "What's wrong with that? When the time comes, you will be Her Majesty the Queen, and whoever doesn't listen will be sent to jail. Also, you can make all the people of Demons listen to your orders!"

"Really?" Xi Yan suddenly became interested, "Including you?"

"Me?" Chang Jing laughed, "Of course it includes me, if I am a citizen of Demons."

Xi Yan rolled her eyes at him, and said, "Don't think that I don't know what you're thinking in your heart. You must be thinking, 'Anyway, I'm not from the Demons, so I'm not willing to do anything when the time comes."

"Oh, my aunt!" Chang Jing saw that she had seen through her "word game" and said with a sad face, "When have I ever thought about it like that? Just listen to me. Didn't you want to stop the 'combat exercises'? If you were in power, wouldn't you listen to everything you said? "If you like combat drills, then do it. If you love them, then they will act!"

"It sounds pretty good," Xi Yan blinked his eyes slyly and said, "But does this mean that you will listen to me as well?"

Chang Jing completely admitted defeat, drooping her head as she shouted out that the world was not fair, causing Xi Yan to laugh out loud.

"Why do you want me to listen to you," he muttered. "It's not your husband — he's probably a tigress when he gets married!"

Xi Yan couldn't hear clearly for a moment, so she asked him, "What did you say?"

"No, I said today's weather is really good."

Time continued to jump and in the blink of an eye, it was already the eve of the Baptism of Holy Maiden's grand ceremony.

Did you hear? "A plain head commoner who was sitting in the corner of the hotel raised his wine cup high and drooped his head as he spoke to the person sitting next to him," Our Holy Maiden will be having a baptism tomorrow.

"Shh …" The person sitting next to him was obviously his friend. After hearing his words, he hurriedly signaled for him to be quiet, and after confirming that no one heard him, he lowered his voice and said, "You're courting death. How dare you say that here! I never heard that someone was arrested a while ago for publicizing the fact that the Holy Maiden was in power, and has not been released even now! "

The person from before seemed to be drunk, and upon hearing his words, he laughed loudly and said, "The sky is about to change, what do I have to be afraid of!?" When tomorrow comes, let alone those people being released, even if they were innocent officials who were imprisoned by Grand Elder in the past, they will not be placed under house arrest anymore! "

Seeing that he could not stop him, the man could only apologetically nod his head in all directions, saying, "Everyone, don't mind him getting drunk."

Unexpectedly, a stone hit a thousand waves, and just as he approached the drunk person and forcefully pulled him away, everyone in the shop started discussing.

"The Great Clan Elder is in charge of all the troops in the Demon World. Although the Holy Maiden is powerful, how could they overthrow his power? Furthermore, Holy Maiden is still young, so what does it mean even if she comes into power? Do you think that the policy of the Demon World will change because of that? Don't forget that although our Demon World doesn't have any concept of a country, big or small matters are not decided by one person, and we still have to approve them through the Elders Guild! "

"Tsk, if it was really like you said, then this kind of drills wouldn't have happened! Right now, the Great Elder alone has the final say on the situation. Let alone passing the Elders Guild's approval, there are many things that the Elders Guild probably doesn't know about! "

"That's right, that's right. I feel that although the Holy Maiden is young, he is naturally intelligent — — She once traveled to every corner of our Demon World for the sake of our Demons, just to give blessings and solutions to the difficulties of us common people!"

Everyone started to discuss, and in the end, all of them supported the side of the Holy Maiden.

This phenomenon was not unique, in the recent months of the Demon World, people had either whispered or discussed about it, and the focus of their debate had always been on the governance of the Holy Maiden. At the beginning, people only talked about the success of the plan, but later on, under the guidance of some people, the core of the plan gradually changed to the policy of how the Holy Maiden would treat the people after it came into power — — the position of the Holy Maiden in everyone's hearts became a natural thing!

Of course, all of this could not leave the Qingfeng stronghold.

Ever since Chang Jing left the Qingfeng stronghold that day, Jian Wulei did as he instructed. Everyone thought that the Holy Maiden was just like gold, but to their surprise, it had an extremely good effect!

But it was also because of this that the relationship between Sui Yuekong and Xi Yan gradually stiffened, and he had even injured a man raised in the Holy Maiden Palace in a public speech — — This man was naturally Chang Jingye.

However, it was difficult to divert the public's attention from this small scam. People knew that he was a desperate dog that jumped over a wall.

Elders Guild.

Sui Yuekong smiled and asked the nine clan elders, "Tomorrow is the Baptism of Holy Maiden's day, what do you guys think of this matter?"

The Fourth Elder was a very confused person, but after hearing his words, he did not react, "Of course it's to celebrate, it's the first time such a thing happened in our Demon World. Ever since Clan Elder Shi Shen passed on and bestowed the title of 'Holy Maiden' to Miss Xi Yan, Holy Maiden Shiyan is her first reincarnation!"

When he said that, the entire audience was silent, all of them secretly looked at Sui Yuekong's face, afraid that he would explode in anger.

It was unknown when the word "Shi Shen" had become a taboo of all the members of the Elders Guild.

However, Sui Yuekong was not angry at all today and continued to ask the Fourth Elder, "Then Fourth Elder, how do you think we should celebrate? A general amnesty or a national holiday of three days? "

"This is naturally decided by you, Great Elder. How could I have thought of these things when I was in a state of impotence?"

"Don't you know?" Sui Yuekong's smiling face slowly became angry, "Don't you know what are you shouting about? Do you think the Elders Guild is a teahouse?!"

Silence, so quiet that not a single sound could be heard …

I'm sorry, "Sui Yuekong said as he calmed the anger in his chest with a fake smile." I've been busy recently celebrating the Baptism of Holy Maiden, so my temper couldn't help but become a little bad.

After knowing that there was someone trying to bewitch the hearts of others, Sui Yuekong began to come up with a plan to deal with them. After pondering for a long time, he believed that the only way was to unite the upper echelons' power — — As long as the upper echelons were in his control, no matter what the citizens say, it would be useless!

The key to unifying the upper echelons was naturally his attitude towards them — this was the reason why he was so patient.

Everyone could not figure out Sui Yuekong's abnormal attitude, so they could only laugh and say that it was okay.

"Amnesty won't work. After all, releasing so many vicious and cruel people is a very destabilizing factor for society. It's worth considering, but this way the taxes will be reduced a lot. Everyone knows that because of the last combat exercise, our army suffered heavy casualties and many military supplies and supplies have yet to be fully replenished."

The Sixth Elder suggested, "Great Clan Elder, what do you think about us leaving this matter to Holy Maiden? Firstly, the celebration was set up for her, and secondly, since she has experienced the baptism, in name, he is the highest spiritual symbol of our Demons.

"Hmm, that's a good idea. Six is still the smartest!" We'll listen to you this time! " Sui Yuekong then said, "It's just that I felt that it was not right for his to split half of our Demons's troops to his. Since Holy Maiden is still young, with so many of our troops in her hands, wouldn't it be a huge loss to our Demon World? What do you all think? "

Originally, in order to prevent the Demons from being in control of someone else's power before his death, Shi Shen wrote a blood letter stating that as long as the Holy Maiden accepted the baptism, he would be able to receive 50% of the Demons's manpower. However, things went against his wishes, as this became a huge threat to Sui Yuekong, and the reason behind the continuous practice of battle was because he was afraid that the Army's will would one day threaten his position.

"Brother, you are really too young, right?" "Brother, you are far too young, as the one making decisions in the Demons, you shouldn't place military power in her hands. I think we should issue a public announcement at the Baptism of Holy Maiden Ceremony tomorrow to announce that you will take over the military power from the other half of the world, what do you think?"

"Should I take over temporarily?" Sui Yuekong's expression was solemn, but it was difficult to conceal the smile on his face, "I have been in control of the army for so many years, I think it is inappropriate for me to represent them, right?"

"Big brother, what are you saying? It's because you have so many years of experience in controlling military power that we all think you are the most suitable candidate!" "Don't be tired, as the saying goes, 'There are many capable people'. Tell me, who else here can take on such a big responsibility other than you?"

The rest of the people nodded in agreement, flattering him.

Sui Yuekong finally laughed happily when he saw this group of people. He had achieved his goal of convening the Great Clan Elder's Assembly today …

Tomorrow would be the Baptism of Holy Maiden's Grand Ceremony that had been awaited by the citizens for a long time. Everyone would be excited and unable to sleep, but outside the sky, the night was dark.

Someone suddenly wondered if this quiet night was a harbinger of the coming of the storm tomorrow.
