Combining everyone's rhetoric, Xia Fan also understood the situation outside
the palace that night.
The prince was assassinated almost in front of thousands of people, so the
news spread extremely quickly. When it reached Wanjing Tower, the floating
lights had not even gone out.
Li Ben planned to go to the palace to find out, but Luo gently stopped him.
According to the latter's understanding, after this happened, the palace's
alertness would increase exponentially. If there is still a slight gap to dive
into, now it is definitely a choice to go to the net.
In fact, as Luo Qing expected, the people on the street were quickly cleared
by the Forbidden Army. Patrol guards appeared at the corners of various
streets, and even the roofs of some houses began to have crossbowmen in place.
Once they leave the residence in vain, they will undoubtedly become the most
visible target.
Therefore, Li let go to the palace.
Although the cat can't talk, its IQ can understand and implement the intention
of the "master".
In the end, according to the rolling feedback, there was no strong "bloody
atmosphere" around the Palace Square-this meant that the assassination was
only targeted at the prince, and there was no disturbance or suppression at
the scene. In the middle of the night of the Lantern Festival, which was
abruptly ended, this was a piece of calming news. With the advanced divination
above, everyone decided to wait one night and make a decision based on the
situation tomorrow.
After staying up all night, everyone waited for news from Xin Wu.
"So the prince himself is safe and sound?" Qianyan asked.
"Yes. Otherwise, I guess it would not be so easy to let people go there."
"It's a pity." Luo said softly with a little regret.
Xia Fan quickly glanced behind him--fortunately, Xin Wu didn't follow him into
the house.
"This is a bit strange," Fang Xiandao pondered for a moment. "The crown prince
is the first heir to Qi Kingdom, and he is personally recognized by the Holy
Master. The Privy Council has no reason to trouble him, so it can only be
attributed to the personal thoughts of the assassin. But...why did you choose
it at the Wan Lan Festival? Not to mention that it is easy to reveal your
whereabouts, and there is no shortage of guards around the prince, and even
this person did not even expect the life-saving artifact."
"No matter what the reason is, the Privy Council must be in trouble now."
Qianyan smiled a little. "The six parts of the court are not compatible with
the Privy Council. Now it is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity to beat each
other."
"Anyway, it has nothing to do with Jinxia, we just have to wait for the
result." Luo Qing said disapprovingly.
"I don't know how long the lockdown will last. It would be nice to end it
sooner." Fang Yanni still had some lingering fears.
"By the way, did the Yuyi you met at the Wandeng Banquet mentioned the
specific content of the ceremony?" Li changed the subject.
Xia Fan shook his head, "The guy speaks very tightly, and he will know when he
speaks."
"So when they see you, it's really just a meal?"
"I have this question, but it seems to be the case."
"Chichi has a problem, does Yui look great?" the little girl interrupted.
"How should I put it..." Xia Fan thought, "I feel like just a very ordinary
middle-aged person, 35 or 6 years old, except for the roughness, there is
nothing different about it."
"Ordinary?" Fang Xiandao hummed, "The other party is a first-rank official in
the Privy Council. People who can climb this position have proven themselves
by ** deeds. If you have to deal with him in the future, you should be more
cautious. Great."
"Master, are you caring about others?"
"I'm thinking about Fang's future!"
Xia Fan couldn't help but twitched his mouth.
Rather than saying that Yuyi was "dry", the words of another Qingjian "Jushi
on the Clouds" made him more concerned, especially the sentence "The ceremony
is not a child's play, it is related to the future of the nations"-Could it be
that the Privy Council of Qiguo fiddled The internal ceremony is also related
to other kingdoms?
Not only that, this person also mentioned a strange term.
"Thousands of words," he looked at the living fossil in the room, "have you
ever heard of the existence of the post of Tianshu envoy in the Privy
Council?"
Qianyan shook his head, "What is that?"
"Listening to their tone, this person seems to have a higher status than
Yuyi."
She thought about it for a while and still denied, "The division of Yuyi
Qingjian guards can be traced back to the Yongwang period, but at that time
the title represented more ability than merit. Later, people just inherited
this name. Whether it is the Privy Council I have never heard of this official
position before or after the establishment."
Xia Fan nodded, it seems that this question will not know the answer until the
ceremony begins.
"Ah... something else." Li suddenly remembered a little, "Don't forget to
report to the princess later, she took the initiative to call and inquire
yesterday."
Uh-Xia Fan's expression suddenly froze. He forgot about this incident last
night and said he would report the news every day, but something went wrong on
the third day.
Although it is considered force majeure.
"The one who picked you up, don't you plan to leave?" Luo gently leaned
against the window and said, "The carriage is still parked at the gate, and
there is no breath of him in the carriage."
"Is it?"
Xia Fan looked out of the inn with some surprise, then walked to the door of
the wing and opened the sliding door, only to see the messenger staying in
place, not leaving.
"Master Xia," Xin Wu said, "I have something to tell you."
After introducing him into the hall, Xia Fan motioned, "What's the matter?"
He suddenly bowed down, "I also ask Master Xia to help the Privy Council to
find out the truth, to prevent Xiao Xiao from turning the world upside down
and profiting from it!"
"Wait..." Xia Fan was startled, "Are you talking about me?"
"There is no other person besides you~www.mtlnovel.com~."
"You get up first."
"If you don't agree--"
Before Xia Fan finished speaking, he pulled him off the ground, "Sit down and
say. This is the Privy Council of Gyeonggi. You asked me to find out the truth
in Jinxia City? Not to mention this. Can I help if I want to help, right?"
"You are indeed only a hundred swords in name, but you already have the
potential to become a core member in the Privy Council. This is not something
that you can exchange for official rank." Xin Wu insisted, "If it is normal,
let you help the general The investigation by the government naturally has
doubts, but now most of the alchemists in Shangyuan City have rushed to the
two places of Su and You, leaving behind the three in Gyeonggi. In addition to
the assassination yesterday, the Lord Gan and the Hundred Masters were
restricted to their freedom and trapped In the palace. If you want to select a
person to take over the overall situation, only you are the most suitable!"
"In addition, this is not my opinion alone." He raised his voice a little bit,
"After I learned of the incident in the palace last night, I have secretly
contacted my colleagues hidden in the dark-despite their ability and level It
is very limited, but it is unanimously agreed that the reserve core members
will instruct them. There are thirty-two alchemists in total. As long as you
nod your head and agree, they will all become your helpers."
