At the beginning of preparation, these rods have taken into account the need
for quick disassembly and assembly, so there are bayonet points between each
section, which can be fixed as long as they are inserted.
However, wireless transmission is still in the most primitive stage, and the
frequency of electromagnetic waves without modulation is not high, so the
longer the antenna, the better the reception effect. With the help of Li, Xia
Fan nailed the antenna to a pillar, half of which passed through the attic and
eaves, and inserted straight into the air. From a distance, it seemed as if
there was a swaying hair on the top of Wanjing Tower. .
"That's it." Xia Fan clapped his hands.
"Only with this little thing, can you really contact Jinxia City?" Even though
I have seen the magical Li of the Xun Yin, I still have doubts-after all,
Shenzhou is too far away.
"If there are many sources of interference, you can only hear a bunch of
noises, but now there is only one communication line in the whole Daqi, and
there will be no interference at staggered times, so there is still a
possibility. Let's go to the bedroom below to try ."
In less than half an hour, the "transceiver device" connected to the antenna
was assembled. Under the gaze of a group of curious audiences, Xia Fan
breathed into the audio equipment, and at the same time called once every ten
seconds, waiting for the response from the other side.
After trying seven or eight times, the loudspeaker suddenly trembled.
"Hey..." After a blast of electric current passed, Ning Wanjun's voice
penetrated thousands of miles away and appeared in the house of Wanjing
Building, "I finally waited for the news from your side... Hey... you have now
arrived. Is Yuancheng already?"
"Wow..." Qianzhi covered his mouth and said, "I can actually hear it, and
Qianzhi's knowledge has increased again!"
Others also applauded.
There was silence for a while, "Uh... are there many people around you?"
Everyone said in unison, "I have seen your Royal Highness."
"Ahem-no need to be polite." Ning Wanjun's voice suddenly became much more
serious, "Xia Fan, report your situation."
"The Privy Council is quite thoughtful, and we have prepared a whole storey of
inn as a place to stay." Xia Fan briefly recounted what happened on the road
and the situation on Shangyuan's side. "It is said that the surrounding area
of the palace is under martial law. This is probably the reason why the news
in the palace cannot be heard. At present, the Privy Council has not formally
met with me. They chose to meet at the Lantern Festival the day after
tomorrow. Do you have any opinion on this?"
"Hey...Wan Lantern Festival?" There was a pause, "I almost forgot about it. So
that's it, if they want to see you and lead you to get to know others,
Wandengyan is indeed a good reason. I did too. I met Mo Yun at the Wandeng
Banquet—she was still a little girl at that time."
It sounds like you weren't a little girl at the time, Xia Fan thought to
himself. But what did Ning Wanjun look like as a child? It's probably not long
before he gets angry at the age of six or seven. Is it because Wen Jing's
temperament has not been overshadowed, or has he become the king of children
with a wooden sword? "If I want to go to the appointment, is there anything I
need to pay attention to?"
"Hey... there should be no problem." Ning Wanjun replied, "The Wandeng Banquet
is held in the Palace Square. There are many invitees. The Privy Council will
not mess around in such a place, just enjoy the dinner. But..."
"But what?"
"If they invite you to another place after they leave, it's not guaranteed."
Xia Fan couldn't help but raised the corners of her mouth, "Do you think I am
a three-year-old child? I can still be kidnapped everywhere."
After a moment of silence, Ning Wanjun's voice sounded again, "By the way, can
you do me a favor?"
"you said."
"...I want to talk to you alone."
As soon as these words came out, everyone consciously bowed their hands to the
sound instrument, "Then I'll retire first."
But apart from Fang Yanni, no one moved.
"Huh? Why are you all..."
Xia Fan waved his hand funny and said with his mouth: Okay, don't embarrass
your Highness.
Everyone turned around and went out.
He also noticed that Li's ears had become erect like antennae from their
collapsed state.
"Okay, go ahead."
"Hey... Are they sure they are not in the room?"
"Yes, I promise." Xia Fan affirmed.
As for whether these people would eavesdrop through the door panel, that was
beyond his control.
"Okay, that's the case. I want you to help me put a stick of incense... to my
mother." When Ning Wanjun spoke again, her voice was already much lower, "The
Lantern Festival itself is also a day of farewell and memorial service. I used
to complete the tomb sacrifice before the festival, and when I was unable to
go, I usually entrusted it to Grandpa Li, but now, there is no such
acquaintance in Shangyuan City."
"So that's it." Xia Fan sighed lightly, "...I understand. But your mother is a
concubine, so she won't be buried in an ordinary place, right?"
Insert a sentence, [\\mi\\mi\\reading\\app\\\\] really good, it is
worth installing one, after all, you can cache books and read them offline!
"Hey... In fact, she was not buried in the royal cemetery, but in a cemetery
next to the cemetery." Ning Wanjun's words came intermittently, "No one is
guarding there, there are only a few sweepers. Anyone can go in... Hey...
After you get there, ask more questions to find her tombstone."
"Okay, I will go."
"please."
Then the loudspeaker made a squeaky ineffective sound, apparently interrupting
the transmission there.
Xia Fan also slowly turned off the audio instrument. In his impression, this
was the first time the princess said please to him.
The door is quiet, probably even if someone hears it, it is estimated that
they will not walk in at this time to break the atmosphere.
It wasn't until the evening ~www.mtlnovel.com~ that Li mentioned the matter
side by side, "When are you going to go?"
"You really heard it." Xia Fan raised an eyebrow.
"Hearing is too keen, so I can't blame me." Li touched his long ears to show
his innocence.
"The day after tomorrow will be the Lantern Festival, and the streets may be
quite crowded, so let's set it early tomorrow morning." Xia Fan decided.
...
Early the next morning, he left Wanjing Tower with Li He Qianyan and rode to
the hills on the western outskirts of the city.
Needless to say, Li has been Xia Fan's best partner since Gaoshan County, but
when Qianyan asked to go together, everyone was quite surprised.
However, considering that the inn had been gently guarded by Luo, Xia Fan
finally agreed to the other party's request.
Because of her short stature, she couldn't step on the stirrups on horseback,
so she could only ride a horse with Xia Fan.
Even through the thick clothes, he could feel the slight chill coming out of
the other party-as if the small body was not warm at all.
With the token handed over to Xia Fan by the Envoy of the Privy Council, the
three of them did not encounter any obstacles along the way. After an hour,
they entered the mausoleum halfway up the mountain, and under the guidance of
the sweeper, they came to a piece of land. In front of the striking stone
pavilion.
"The person you are looking for is here," said the sweeper.
"Thank you." Xia Fan handed a string of copper coins to the other party.
"Isn't the Ten Thousand Lantern Festival coming soon? Why don't there seem to
be many people who come here to pay homage?"
The other party grinned, revealing a mouthful of withered and broken teeth,
"Because there are not many living people who still remember them and can
offer incense for them."
That voice matched the white mist that hadn't dissipated around it, and there
was an inexplicable gloomy feeling.
It seemed that he was not a living person, but a ray of ghost in the border of
life and death.
