#1125 - Chapter 1125 Everyone Kneels
“I admit that our approach has been a little too strict. But please understand, we have no choice,” the commander replied.
He did not refute Lie Yan's point of view, but followed his words.
“What do you mean?” Lie Yan asked, frowning.
“If they follow you, you will only feel offended. But if they don't follow you, besides them, hundreds of people in the entire Security Department will be punished as a result. And if you have the slightest accident in the royal city, many people will be beheaded because of it.”
“So, if you were this commander, would you choose to withdraw this order?” the commander asked rhetorically.
“This…” Lie Yan looked back at the warriors in the thatched cottage, and suddenly didn't know how to answer.
This is actually a kind of moral kidnapping.
According to his meaning, if Lie Yan disagrees, he will indirectly harm many people.
“Young Master Lie Yan, you have had a noble status since birth. Although I have never been to Yan Territory, I can imagine that you have always been surrounded and protected by people, enjoying the support of the people of the clan.”
“However, even a humble servant like the one beside you has a mother and children. May I ask, can you bear to see them suffer because of such a trivial matter?”
The commander's words raised the moral kidnapping to another level.
If Lie Yan still disagrees, then he will become a noble child without any sympathy.
“Okay, follow me if you want!”
After speaking, Lie Yan turned and left.
“Young Master Lie Yan, walk slowly!” The commander did not get up, nor did he see him off.
After speaking, he continued to busy himself with his own affairs.
After Lie Yan came out of the thatched cottage, he stomped his feet in anger.
Bai Yuhou greeted him and asked:
“How is it?”
“Not good, just let them follow!” Lie Yan replied coldly.
Bai Yuhou looked back at the two servants who were still following, and tactfully didn't ask any more questions.
In his opinion, it was a good thing to have these people following.
At least, it would be even more impossible for Lie Yan to secretly do something unruly.
Lie Yan couldn't do anything now, so he had to return to his residence.
For the next seven days, he never came out.
The time for the viewing ceremony came quickly.
King Jin Ji ordered people to build a large high platform outside the outer palace of the royal palace, and in front of the high platform was a large open space.
On January 13, 1286 of the Blue Star Calendar Nata Era, the viewing ceremony officially began.
The leaders of the various tribes came to the viewing platform one after another after being searched.
And their followers were all stopped outside the palace.
Small fries cannot participate in this level of meeting.
However, Bai Yuhou did not play the role of a follower this time, but put on the costume of a leader, and came to the high platform as the leader of La Territory.
This time, he and Lie Yan were not together.
La Territory is just a small tribe, so it can only be hidden in the crowd. And Lie Yan, as the representative of the Queen's clan, stood at the very front. And beside him, there were also 6 sword-wielding warriors protecting him.
“The time has come! The viewing ceremony officially begins!” Jin Guo's high priest walked onto the high platform and shouted in a high-pitched voice.
The leaders did not know what kind of viewing ceremony this was, and looked curiously at the high platform.
At this time, nine huge objects covered with golden cloth had been placed on the high platform, and it was not known what they were.
“Everyone… kneel!” the high priest shouted immediately afterward.
The leaders looked at each other, not knowing why they should kneel. But the high priest had spoken, so everyone had to kneel down obediently, their foreheads touching the ground.
“Welcome… King Jin!”
After everyone had knelt down, the high priest issued a new instruction.
The leaders were surprised when they heard this sentence.
According to the current clan rules of the Nata clan, the leaders do not need to kneel and salute when they see King Jin.
The differentiation of classes was not very obvious during this period.
But today, the high priest actually asked the leaders to kneel and welcome King Jin, which was a bit beyond the rules.
However, now that they have already knelt, what else can they do?
Everyone's unanimous thought was, let's wait and see what King Jin is going to do.
King Jin Ji walked to the middle of the high platform and said loudly:
“Lords, rise!”
After receiving the order, the leaders stood up from the ground one after another.
They looked up at King Jin on the high platform, their brows furrowed one by one.
“Leaders, the reason why I have called you here from your respective territories is to announce something very important to the future of the Nata clan.”
“Come on! Unveil the golden cloth!” King Jin Ji ordered.
Nine warriors walked onto the high platform in a long line, one standing in front of each object. They pinched the huge golden cloth on the object with their right hands, waiting for further instructions.
“Unveil!” the high priest ordered.
“Shua~”
The nine warriors pulled hard, and the nine golden cloths slid down at the same time.
It turned out that under the golden cloth were nine huge stone tablets.
