Chapter 327: Aftermath (Part 2)

319

In fact, there is more than one doubt.

For example, the Privy Council carefully searched the drains in the imperial

palace, and not only did not find the gunpowder residue, even a trace of the

magical spell could not be sensed.

This is really a bit of subversion of common sense. Using magic to create such

a big movement, the surrounding Qi will definitely show a slight imbalance.

Based on these details, it is possible to infer the type of spell used by the

opponent and the location of the cast. But the alchemist had been busy for a

long time and could not determine the source, which was very incredible.

It is highly probable that the explosion is not caused by alchemy, but a

conventional method that ordinary people can achieve.

The problem is that there is nothing but water in the drain. What can be done

to trigger a raging fire that can open the streets?

If you don't know the facts, you can't remedy it. If you can't remedy it, it

means that if the other party comes back next time, they can try the trick

again.

This is a result that the Privy Council cannot tolerate.

They are even considering completely blocking the underground channels in the

city and constructing new artificial rivers to discharge sewage.

For example, when Xia Fan and others were in the prison, some jailers

mentioned that he had a clear understanding of the movement of the guards

outside, and the reason seemed to be that someone provided him with

information elsewhere.

Providing information is not the point, the point is how to provide it.

According to the jailer, it was a woman, and the voice could be transmitted

directly to the prison, sounding like a real-time conversation.

Long-distance and efficient transmission is definitely something the military

has long dreamed of. The Privy Council also knew one or two techniques for

long-distance communication, but their use was very limited, far from Xia

Fan's.

Afterwards, they also found the hiding place at the top of the stupa on Tianfu

Street based on this little clue. There were indeed signs of personnel

activity at the scene, and two long iron poles were left, but... that was all.

No one can explain the relationship between these iron rods and the magic, the

only thing that can be proved is that Xia Fan's robbery of Yan Qing was not an

impulse, but a carefully planned action.

These misty information caused Ning Qianshi's headache. He stayed awake for

several days, largely because of the difficulty of investigating.

If the other party is the listener, then a series of questions can be

considered as having a reasonable explanation.

"It's not just Xia Fan." Gan continued. "The investigators have confirmed that

there were four people who fled at the scene. In addition to Kai Yan Qing and

Olena, there is also a woman whose identity is Luo Qing who once worked in the

Privy Council. Light. And the flying blade she used is also unprecedented, in

my judgment... it is most likely a fairy."

"So my sister has two listeners at once?" Ning Qianshi couldn't help clenching

his fists. "This news must not be spread out, especially if Qixing cannot be

known, otherwise..."

"I know." Gan sighed. The listener is a stranger, the lucky one among the

alchemists who are favored. According to legend, they also have a certain

connection with the "Tian Dao", so that people like this are free from the

Privy Council. The great negligence of those in power. "It's just that I heard

that Luo Fei empress...No, now she's the emperor concubine, making a lot of

trouble in the palace?"

Speaking of Luo Yufei, Ning Qianshi's expression became a bit cold. It can be

said that her behavior is the main reason for Luo Qing's drastic changes. Of

course, if Xia Fan didn't step in, he would thank the other party for creating

a listener for the Privy Council, but Luo Qing and Xia Fan colluded together

and the situation was completely reversed.

As for Ning Chunan's death, he didn't care at all. Ning Qianshi knew all the

ugly things the fourth brother had committed. If the Privy Council knows the

news of Luo's light awakening first, then these four princes are nothing more

than a chess piece in their hands that can be used to win people's hearts.

"I'll let Ning Weiyuan send her to Lenggong to stay awake. It's the fact that

she raises the alchemist privately. You can check it carefully." Ning Qianshi

said coldly, "There are alchemists who she has contacted privately. Get rid of

it."

Gan looked down at his palm and smiled bitterly, "It looks like the dispute is

about to begin again."

"For the new era created by the Seven Stars, those alchemists who are immersed

in the past will only become our obstacles." Ning Qianshi looked at him, "You

should be able to understand this."

After a moment of silence, Yui nodded, "Leave it to me."

Just as Gan walked to the door of the greenhouse, Ning Qianshi stopped him

again.

"Baizhan and Yu Linglong... how are their recovery?"

Yu Linglong was found to have fainted in the prison with a pierced wound on

her shoulder, which should have been caused by Luo Qingqing. Although she went

to the jail to see Yan Qing's irregularities in private, it was no longer

suitable to care about such minor issues at this time.

Bai Zhan’s injuries were much heavier. Although Qian completely pressed Bai

Zhan under his body at that time, he could not completely isolate the

lightning. When he was sent to the hospital, he was half-scorched and

unconscious.

Gan actually ate the most lightning strikes, but with his spell regeneration

ability, he became the fastest recovering one. Almost as soon as the

thunderstorm stopped, he was already able to find survivors in the messy

prison compound.

"That kid Linglong is nothing serious. I went to the brothel yesterday. Mainly

Baizhan..." He muttered, "According to the medical alchemist, death will not

die, but there may be permanent scars on his face. This should be a big blow

to the Yunshang layman."

Ning Qianshi nodded, "It's okay. You can accompany him when you have time...

Among the core members, he can only hear what you say."

"Not necessarily, in fact, this man has a tight heart." He smiled dryly, "but

since your highness has spoken, I will try."

The door was closed, and the second prince exhaled a deep breath.

He got up and walked to the window, looking at the gray sky, a little lost.

Strangely speaking, since the lightning and thunder that day passed, the sunny

days in Shangyuan City never appeared again, and the wind in the evening

became stronger.

"You are tired." A childish voice suddenly came from behind.

He turned his head, He'er did not know when he had come behind him.

"You don't have to work so hard, take a break occasionally, and Master Tianshu

will not blame you."

"Do you know it again?"

"He'er knows, that's what she told me."

Ning Qianshi smiled ~www.mtlnovel.com~ lifted her up with both hands, and put

her on the edge of the window, "I have no magic skills, and I am not favored

by God like a listener. What I know is nothing more than planning. With a

little bit of mind, it doesn’t matter if you get tired. As the saying goes,

diligence can make up for your weakness, but in fact, diligence can only make

yourself look a little more useful.

"How come, without you, the Privy Council would have collapsed during the

Wanjing Tower Incident."

"Did she even tell you this?"

"Well," Heer replied vigorously, "she also said, thank you."

Ning Qianshi slowly closed his eyes... just such a sentence is enough.

"Huh?" The little girl suddenly lay in front of the window, "It looks like

it's snowing!"

He heard the sound and saw that, as expected, there were more white spots in

the gray sky, and they drifted along the wind to the palace square, just like

the blanks on the splash-ink painting.

Ning Qianshi opened the window, and a cool breeze immersed in the heart and

lungs suddenly poured into the warm room, bringing in the snow-white ice

crystals.

Indeed, it snowed.

This is also the first winter snow in Gyeonggi.

After that, the snow season will continue in the coming spring, and traffic

between the north and the south will be interrupted.

Looking at the snow scene in front of him, the second prince thought of Xia

Fan unconsciously.

After so many days, he should have left the boundary of Gyeonggi and rushed

all the way to Shenzhou on an unremarkable trail.

I wonder if he will meet this first snow?

If delaying time was part of his plan, then he did succeed.

But as long as Jinxia City is still there, he can't hide forever, even with

Ning Wanjun's shelter!

Ning Qianshi stretched out his hand to hold a piece of snow slowly drifting

down, and then squeezed his fingers tightly——

No one can spend the rest of his life after playing around the Privy Council.

He will pay the price sooner or later.
