Here Comes the Immortal Swordsman Chapter 794: Ceremony changes
It's noon.
Xiao Mansion.
It was full of friends.
The people who are qualified to appear in the Xiao Mansion today are all big nobles in the top power circle of the capital, and all of them are people of high status.
Even the princes and princesses were present.
Representatives from the other nine of the top ten families in the capital also showed up one after another, not just one.
The seventh room of the Xiao family is about the people, except for the old man Xiao Yan, everyone else has also appeared to entertain the distinguished guests.
Especially Xiao Yi, Xiao Yuan, and the others were all smiles, with unconcealable anticipation and excitement deep in their eyes.
"Master Zuoxiang is here."
Following the loud singing of Xiao Mansion Gate Welcome, everyone's gazes were all turned to the direction of the gate.
Unexpectedly, even Master Zuo Xiang came?
This is surprising.
You must know that Prime Minister Zuo seldom participates in this kind of family affairs.
"Haha, I didn't expect that Mr. Zuo Xiang came. It's a long way to go."
Xiao Yi and Xiao Yuan greeted him proactively with smiles on their faces.
Zuo Xiang Zuo Lu Yi just nodded lightly, without any intention of talking to these two people, he asked directly: "Where is Mrs. Xiao?"
The faces of Xiao Yi and the two were slightly suffocated.
"The old man is in the backyard. He may not have slept well last night, so his condition is not so high today, and he will come out in a while."
Xiao Yi still smiled.
"I'm going to see the old man."
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Xiao Yi and the two to say anything else, they walked directly towards the backyard of Xiao Mansion.
Beside him, there are two guards.
From Prime Minister Zuo entering the door to his figure disappearing in the backyard, the whole process was watched by everyone. For a moment, the other nobles looked at Xiao Yi and Xiao Yuan with a bit of amusement.
The hour is approaching.
The atmosphere in the air is getting more and more tense.
Suddenly, there was a commotion at the gate of Xiao Mansion.
Then a family member of the Xiao family rushed in quickly and said: "Patriarch, everyone who is in charge, hurry up, hurry up, a big man has arrived, go out and greet..."
The voice did not fall.
"You don't need to greet me."
A majestic and domineering voice instantly rang out in everyone's ears.
Then everyone's eyes dazzled.
It can be seen that two figures have come to the courtyard.
After seeing the faces of these two people clearly, the nobles, bigwigs, and tycoons present all exclaimed in surprise, and many of them changed their expressions drastically, looking extremely shocked.
Because the two people who came were [God War Celestial Man] Ji Wushuang and [Mad Halberd Celestial Man] Lu Xin.
No one thought that the two envoys of the central imperial alliance mission would appear on such an occasion.
Is this to support the Xiao family?
No.
The relationship between the Xiao Mansion and these two envoys does not seem to be very friendly.
"See the two messengers."
Zheng Qian, head of the Zheng family, and Liu Xiong, head of the Liu family, came up to say hello immediately.
"Yeah."
Ji Wushuang nodded.
"Take the liberty to come here, did you not disturb the master's house?"
He looked at Xiao Yi and Xiao Yuan, and said with a faint smile.
"If the two envoys can come, my Xiao family will be full of glory."
Xiao Yi and Xiao Yuan looked at each other, the excitement and excitement in their hearts were almost bursting, and they complimented each other in unison.
Ji Wushuang and the two were immediately placed in the upper seat.
Everyone who saw this scene couldn't help thinking about it.
What do you mean?
Looking at this, the two speakers from the Central Empire Alliance mission to the Xiao family branch seem to value them quite a lot.
The bosses sitting here are all foxes who have been enlightened for many years, and they immediately smelled something different.
Many people subconsciously felt that today's Patriarch of the Xiao Mansion succeeds the main hall, perhaps there will be some disturbances.
After that, people came one after another.
Some people, even those who have not received the invitation, try to sneak in, hoping to get to know some top dignitaries.
Finally, it was time for the ceremony.
Xiao Yan, the old man of the Xiao Mansion, appeared in the sight of everyone in casual clothes.
"Huh? What's going on?"
"Old Mrs. Xiao is very casually dressed..."
"It seems that you are not happy."
"I don't look good."
"Such a grand occasion, with so many heavyweight guests, should they dress up? Could something have happened?"
When the guests saw this scene, they couldn't help talking about it.
Under the watchful eyes of the old man, Xiao Yan, with a blank face, slowly walked up to the ceremony platform that had been set up long ago.
"Thank you all for showing your face and attending the succession ceremony of the new Patriarch of my Xiao family."
The old man with beard and hair like snow has a burly figure.
He stood on the ceremony stage, looked around for a week, and saluted with his fists in his hands. His tone was calm, and he no longer had the majestic aura of a lion in normal times. Instead, he looked more like an ordinary old man.
"Today, the old man will officially step down as Patriarch and pass on the position of Patriarch to..."
Speaking of this, the old man's tone paused, he gritted his teeth and continued: "Xiao Si, a rookie whose position as Patriarch has been handed down to the younger generation of the Xiao family... After I finish speaking, everyone please do your own thing."
The voice did not fall.
There was a sound of exclamation and discussion in the compound.
It was as if a boulder had been smashed into the calm water.
This announcement can be said to have exceeded the expectations of all the guests.
What's going on?
Didn't you say before that the new Patriarch is Xiao Ye?
Why did she suddenly become Xiao Si?
Xiao Si is somewhat well-known in the capital. Many people know that he is the eldest grandson of the second wife of the Xiao family, but he is not yet to the point where he can take over the Xiao family, right?
What happened?
The change was too sudden.
Countless puzzled eyes looked at the old man Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yanduo didn't say a word, and walked directly to the audience.
"Wait a minute."
Xiao Yi stood up slowly, with a proud expression on his face, and pointedly reminded: "Old Master, please stop, have you forgotten? Si'er takes over as Patriarch, and you, the previous Patriarch, are needed Seals, swords, and crowns."
"Okay."
Old Master Xiao Yan nodded.
Soon, under the gaze of countless eyes, Xiao Si, dressed in a luxurious purple robe, walked up to the stage.
A twenty-two-year-old young man with a fair face, is considered handsome, but unfortunately his temperament is a bit dark, and he is a vicious character who is not easy to get along with at first glance.
Xiao Si was full of ambition and his face was flushed.
He first thanked the guests with fists, and then came to the old man Xiao Yan, and took the seal of the head of the family from him, as well as the [Xiao's Graphite Sword] which symbolized the rights of the head of the house.
Then, he bowed his head to accept the crown ceremony.
The so-called straight crown refers to the hair crown that the elders are asked to straighten and drag.
Just a symbolic action.
But it is also an important part of the succession ceremony of the Patriarch.
Xiao Yan had no expression on his face, and raised his hand to crown the twenty-two-year-old young man.
"Hehe, I'm not dead."
Xiao Si lowered his head, with respect and a smile on his face, but secretly transmitted his voice, saying: "I didn't expect it, didn't you always look down on me before? Hehe, one day, you have to Pass on the position of Patriarch to me personally."
In Xiao Yan's eyes under the snow-colored eyebrows, a gleam of light flashed, but then dimmed like sparks and disappeared.
The crown is over.
Xiao Yan walked towards the stage.
The new Patriarch Xiao Si suddenly opened his mouth, and said indifferently: "Old Master, please stop, hehe, I am honored to be the Patriarch of the Xiao Family today, and I also know the great responsibility. Today, he just used his blood to sacrifice the totem banner of the Xiao family, hehe, come on, and press down on me the rebellion of the Xiao family that deserves death..."
Immediately, Erfang's confidant soldier dragged a heavily tied man down from the backyard.
Everyone looked intently.
The person who was **** was Xiao Ye.
