At this moment, the First Lady stood up and signaled for the people around her to quiet down. ”Honorable officials, everyone!”
At that moment, everyone in the hall began to put down what they were doing. Following the first wife raising her wineglass, everyone raised their wineglasses as well.
”Everyone, right now, under the rule of the Great Under Heaven, the country, the people, and the Azure Province, under the Black Tortoise Mansion, is peaceful.” Of course, this cannot be separated from everyone's efforts and cooperation. Ever since the Marquis of Xuanwu had taken the throne, he had made several meritorious deeds, gained the recognition of the Human Emperor, won the Martial Meeting, exterminated the Nether Sect, and reconciled with the Mysterious Sky Sect … It was inseparable from the talent and hard work of the Black Tortoise Marquis, Lin Yue. Let everyone drink a toast to the fact that there is such a duke in Central Pine City! ”
With these words, everyone raised their wine glasses and responded one by one.
Jun Linyue also stood up, raising his wine cup. At this moment, he saw that the first wife was looking at him with a gaze full of goodwill. However, the smile on her face was enough to send chills down his spine. Although she could pretend to be warm, she could not conceal the meaning behind her eyes.
Jun Lin took a deep breath and drained his cup in one gulp.
Just then, the First Lady put down her wine cup and said to the crowd, ”However, everyone, please listen to me. Recently, the Duke of Black Tortoise suddenly felt his body not feeling well. Perhaps the pressure on his shoulders was too great. Even though he was young, he still blamed himself several times and came to talk to me. It was only with patience and counsel that I regained my confidence. Today, he specially entrusted me to invite the parents and officials of the Azure Province to participate in this family banquet. Firstly, I thank you all for your cooperation and support, and secondly, there is something you need to announce! ”
At this moment, the first wife looked over at him and gave him a look. He looked at Yang Xi'er, who was in the distance. At this moment, the First Wife's general was putting a hand on Yang Xi'er's shoulder, holding a shiny dagger in his hand.
However, Yang Xi'er had no idea. All of a sudden, that person's eyes were wide open as he exerted strength in his hands. Only then did Yang Xi'er react, but her own nose was covered by a loud shout, making her unable to make any sound. Several joints of her body were inexplicably stuck, making her unable to move.
Seeing Jun Lin Yue looking over, Yang Xi'er seemed to have a glimmer of hope. Of course, she didn't know that this was precisely the method that threatened him to hand over the position of the Black Tortoise Marquis.
His heart tightened. At this moment, with a wave of the hand, everyone turned to look at Jun Bluemoon.
Jun Linyue relaxed his brows, and paused for a moment before retracting his gaze from Yang Xi'er. He then smiled, ”Everyone!” I am the Marquis of Xuanwu, Lin Yue! ”
Before he finished speaking, cheers and applause could be heard from the audience. This voice seemed to come from all directions, but the nearly one hundred people present felt as if their hearts were being overturned by a mountain. Jun Lanyue instantly felt moved. But, he still had to call out this location, right?
He could also loudly voice out the First Wife's conspiracy against him, as well as abduct Yang Xi'er and force him to hand over the position of Marquis. But he couldn't guarantee that Yang wouldn't be harmed. Therefore, he smiled and continued, ”Thank you for everyone's support and encouragement!”
He then looked at Yang Xi'er, whose lies were filled with fear and the desire to live. She could see very clearly that the dagger on her snow-white neck was already pressed against her soft skin. An ice-cold feeling spread from her neck to Yang Xi'er's whole body.
