With the hum of impact, a cluster of sparks spread out, like a celebration
firework.
At the same time, there was a ray of blood splashing.
Although the chain was blocked in the path of the attack for the first time,
this attack was not only speedy, but also full of strength. The chain only
played a deflection function, and the sword blade still cut her skin after
crossing the chain.
For a while, blood was flowing in the neck.
However, under the block of chains, this raid did not become fatal after all.
Yan Qing clutched his neck and looked up, and it was the "Lago on the Cloud"
Baizhan standing in front of him.
The red tasseled sword in his hand was dripping with blood.
The two were almost a hundred steps apart, but the other party seemed to have
launched an attack in front of him just now-this was the ability of a hundred
exhibitions, and the distance in common sense did not work for him.
In a sense, an alchemist who is good at Kunshu is more unpredictable than
Kanshu. The latter can still rely on will and experience to fight against, but
the spatial twist caused by Kunshu is a real change.
This is also the opponent Yan Qing doesn't want to meet.
"Ah, your sword... is really merciless."
"You and I are both green swords. Naturally, I know that the battle between
the blue swords must not leave a trace of hands." Bai Zhan's voice is still
deserted, "and I also counted that with your strength, this sword can only
hurt you. It can’t kill you. In addition, the sword is poisonous, and you will
feel sleepy, paralyzed, and sluggish. Your strength will be at least 30% lower
than usual."
Actually even used poison...
She injected Qi into the wound, temporarily sealing the surging blood.
"The reason? Are you planning to provoke infighting?"
"Well said." Another figure slowly walked out from behind Baizhan, "I was just
about to ask you, what was the reason for letting Xia Fan go?"
Yan Qing's heart sank suddenly. The other party was Ning Qianshi.
"His Royal Highness..."
"You want to ask for evidence, right?"
The second prince clapped his hands, and an alchemist in a hundred-edged robe
came forward and threw a corpse on the ground-it was clearly a messenger
servant in the brothel. Although he was dead, he was still crawling slowly on
the ground as alive. A cloud of black air above his head was slowly creeping
and whispering muddy.
"Evil..."
Yan Qing understood everything the moment he saw the servant.
Even though the Hundred Blade was not of high grade, his abilities might be
very special, so that the consciousness of the newly deceased person would
remain temporarily, which meant that the evil spirit was formed.
In a state where the consciousness is about to be lost, the deceased will no
longer have the thought of defense. It can be said that he can answer whatever
he asks. This technique is also the last choice when interrogating
information.
Even if the servant is unable to think about complex questions in this state,
he can only answer some impressive basic questions, but it is not difficult to
find the key clues from his mouth and derive the whole picture from this.
Yan Qing originally planned to wait until Xia Fan was sent out of the city,
and then come back to solve the servant's problem, but he didn't expect the
second prince to act so quickly.
"I didn't hold this idea from the beginning." Ning Qianshi said actively,
"It's just that people in Wanjing Building suddenly went to the empty building
and I had to consider the situation of internal problems, so when I turned to
Nancheng Commercial District to look for Xia Fan's trace, I asked some
alchemists to follow."
"But he should only know about the delivery of the letter, even if he wants to
investigate..." Yan Qing suddenly stopped at this point, and she looked at the
second prince, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.
There is only one way to find the key person in the shortest time.
That is to kill all those who have entered Xia Fan's wing.
The living will defend, but the dead will not.
"Fortunately, we found the clue with only half of the people. To be honest, I
really don't want to believe that you are the one who helped him escape, Yan
Qing... Have you betrayed the Privy Council and our common goal?" Ning Qianshi
looked at her directly and asked.
What Xia Fan had said appeared in Yan Qing's mind.
"What about Li? Has Li hindered this plan?"
"Or as long as you have this level of righteousness, what kind of behavior can
be tolerated?"
Strangely, she didn't think there was anything wrong with the second prince
doing this before.
Find out the inside information as quickly as possible and eliminate the
threat for the Privy Council-this is a decisive and wise judgment. As for the
innocent people who are implicated, there is no need to care too much, just
give the relevant family members a compensation afterwards.
But at this moment, she felt something stuck in her heart.
If Li were hanged by them at the gate of the city, would she really feel that
she was compensated after she got the compensation silver?
"His Royal Highness..." Yan Qing said after a long while, "I didn't betray the
Privy Council, let alone the goal that had been filled with countless people's
efforts."
"Then why are you helping Xia Fan?"
She lowered her head, "Excuse me for not telling me."
That was the only bloodline left by her friend.
Even if it was a demon, she couldn't let Li die because of herself.
"Can't... tell?" The second prince took a deep breath, "You should know that
the expression of words is pale, and the Privy Council values action more."
"But that's the truth," Yan Qing refused to give in. "I don't want to betray
the Privy Council, but I can't tell the reason. Your Highness, let them go...
Xia Fan will not hinder the Seven Stars plan, the third princess. It is
impossible to compete with the Privy Council."
"Absurd, I didn't expect you to say such a thing." Bai Zhan said coldly, "When
you were bewitched by Xia Fan and assisted them to escape from Shangyuan City,
it has already hindered our plan."
"I can't just give up for this reason." Ning Qianshi's eyes were a little
disappointed. "If you don't want to take the initiative to explain, I can only
use some last resort. Do you want to resist the Privy Council's arrest?"
Yan Qing was silent for a moment, slowly lowering his hands.
The chain in front of her fell to the ground as if it lost its support.
"I... didn't mean that."
"Listen to my order and take down Yan Qing, the "lockweaver"! "Ning Qianshi
said loudly.
"Lead!"
A group of guards suddenly emerged from the streets and alleys and pressed Yan
Qing to the ground. Then her hands and feet were shackled. This special
torture instrument could even hold each finger, let alone use talisman or
magical instruments, even touching the body.
After Qing Jian was taken away, the second prince sighed in a low voice, "I
didn't expect the situation to become like this."
"The law is not merciful~www.mtlnovel.com~ Baizhan said in the same tone,
"This kind of thing will happen the first time, and the second time. If the
signs are not eliminated early, the general government may suffer great losses
in the future. Your Highness, what do you plan to do with Xia Fan? Do you want
to launch a large-scale search tonight? "
"It's too late." Ning Qianshi frowned. "Half an hour is enough for them to run
more than ten miles. There are forests and mountains around Gyeonggi. It is
almost impossible to find them without knowing the specific direction. "
No matter how stupid people are, they will not continue to swagger down the
official road south when they are wanted. Once they leave the city, they will
be let go.
"What's more, tomorrow is the hall of the eldest brother's enthronement.
Whether the Privy Council or the Ministry of War, you have to keep an eye on
the palace. After that, there will be a seven-star meeting-although only the
Xu Guotianquan envoy and the Gao Guotian envoy, we at least It must show the
style of the Privy Council of Qiguo. Doesn't the deployment of people with
great fanfare mean that Shangyuan City is still not under our control?"
"You are right, this is my negligence." Bai Zhan nodded.
"Come here tonight," the second prince looked to the southeast-that is the
direction of Shenzhou, "If Xia Fanzhen and Ning Wanjun collude together, we
will meet again sooner or later."
