Chapter 80: Last Hope (Part 1)

Two days later, with the arrival of the canonized document, Princess Quang

Binh officially announced her entry into the city. This event caused a wave of

waves in the smoky Yancheng. The red silk hanging on the streets and lanes

also added a little change to the unchanging gray-brown tone in the city. .

For a while, everyone talked about it, and the main topic was nothing more

than the appearance of the princess and who the princess would choose as her

son-in-law.

Of course, the excitement didn't last long before it dissipated.

Because that is the high princess.

She will not have any intersection with the people in the city, nor will she

bring the slightest change to life.

Fengyang Villa on the northern outskirts of Jinxia was originally the palace

where the emperor visited Shenzhou, but now it has become the residence of the

princess.

It is difficult for most people to step there in their lives.

And the princess's object will not be chosen among ordinary people.

There are only a few children of the right age in Yancheng who can be ranked.

No matter who they choose, they have little to do with the lower class.

Without a basis for discussion, the topic naturally loses its vitality of

communication.

Just when the Jinxia people ended the matter in this way, another shocking

news three days later caused a sensation in the whole city.

The murder of innocents in Huzhi County, Gaoshan County, and his evil deeds

attracted evil spirits. Fortunately, the princess came forward to prevent the

harm from further expanding. One of the alchemists named Xia Fan not only

killed one evil evil spirit, but also protected the princess at a critical

time. As the first merit, he was promoted to three levels in a row and became

one of the fastest alchemists in the Privy Council.

At the same time, Yuan was transferred from Shenzhou due to the negligence of

the headquarters, and Xia Fan took over.

In addition, Wei Wushuang, Luo Youer and Wang Renzhi who participated in this

case were also promoted to the seventh rank.

is different from the arrival of the princess. Whether it is a crime committed

by a county magistrate or an evil attack, it is all happening around the

people. As soon as the news arrived, it spread all over the streets and

alleys. Almost everyone was discussing this incredible case, and Xia Fan

became one of the focuses.

After all, in the eyes of the people, these alchemists in black robes rarely

did any good deeds. Once they appeared, it meant that they were unknown. They

were either wealthy or disaster. I didn't expect that they would sometimes do

practical things.

The reputation of the Privy Council has improved a lot for a while.

Some people even dug up the news that Xia Fan paid for the relief of poor

residents of Gaoshan County.

This made his reputation soar, and it can be said that he went from being

silent to being known overnight.

Even the side effect is that there are so many matchmakers who come to the

door to say that they are almost blocking the door of the Privy Council

residential area.

This is the news Wei Wushuang told him when he came to visit.

"I think you and the younger sister should not go back now. Now you are the

top three choices in the minds of women waiting to be married in the city. If

you don't want to get married too early, don't harm others."

It seems that my fellow villagers are still brooding on this point.

"Not first choice?"

"Above you there are Grand Prince Wang and Talented Zhou."

"What about you, did anyone say dear?"

Wei Wushuang showed a smile of joy, "Brother Xia, this is a secret."

It seems that fellowship is vulnerable to the girl.

Xia Fan once asked Ning Wanjun, since the Privy Council turned a blind eye to

similar incidents, why was it willing to grant rewards instead of completely

suppressing opponents, and the other party's answer was that there was not

only one voice in the Privy Council.

"Not to mention that there is a big gap between the Privy Council and Gyeonggi

Prefecture. Even in Gyeonggi Prefecture, there are many opinions on evil

spirits. Don't talk about you or me, even the third rank guards may not know

the above intentions."

"Why is this?"

"Probably it's a gap." Ning Wanjun said very bluntly, "In the more than 20

years after the fall of the Eternal Kingdom, the Privy Council almost managed

to withstand nearly 30% of the casualties to control the evils that spread

everywhere to an acceptable range. , Its importance is self-evident. At that

time, no matter where it was, there was no lack of merits and opportunities

for one step to the sky. Unlike now, there are not too many ways for promotion

in some places in the Privy Council, and the above control power will also

decline. Disagreements will naturally arise during this process."

That's why Shang Yuan's performance is so contradictory. He now knows that

this is an aging bureaucracy, not the replacement of personnel, but the

thinking.

The other so-called rewards, in essence, are exchanges that conceal the origin

of evil spirits—the Privy Council does not want people to discover that evil

spirits can be artificially created.

But Xia Fan discovered that in a sense, there are no natural evils in this

world.

The grottoes in Gaoshan County have been sealed and banned. However, the

characteristics of evil determinates do not need such complicated facilities

to achieve similar effects.

The so-called cause, there must be an effect, whether ghosts or demons, are

inseparable from human behavior and activities.

It is no longer something that can be achieved by a magic trick or a wooden

sword to stop evil.

……

"Master May, this is today's ration." Shan Hui knelt down and handed a piece

of dried flour to the princess.

"Thank you." Wu Yueyao took the bread, then raised his hand and kneaded it on

Shanhui's long ear. The latter immediately closed his eyes and shook his tail

from side to side.

Although May Haruka cannot understand the connection between "rubbing ears"

and "feeling comfortable", since the other party likes it, she will still

satisfy him as much as possible.

After all, hiding in this narrow and dark warehouse, every consolation is

precious.

"Is this the food you found for the princess?" The green-faced ghost Nasaki

who was guarding May's side frowned, "Even if the current situation is tough,

Master Miko can't eat such shabby things!"

"Simply speaking, why don't you go look for it?" Shanhui gave Naoqing a white

look. "Unless the obstructive corner of your head is sawed off, let alone

bring back food, you will lose your life. It's outside."

"Stupid dog, I only need one knife to cut you." Naoqing said coldly.

"The premise is that you can catch up," Shan Hui smirked, "At your speed, UU

reading www.uukanshu.com will talk about it in the next life."

"Don't quarrel." Wu Yueyao stopped the dispute between the two. "In order to

get here, we have sacrificed many people-and in our hometown, there are more

lives. Compared with the suffering they have suffered, What if I eat poorly?"

After she said, she put the noodles in her mouth little by little. The cakes

were very dry and tasted a bit like sawdust. At the same time, there was a bad

smell. But even so, she didn't vomit a bit. This is the food Shanhui found at

the risk of her life, and she can't waste it.

After eating, May Haruka licked his dry lips, "We can't drag it anymore."

The princes raised their troops to rebel, and there was gunpowder in the

country. In order to reconnect with the land of the mainland, they had sent

many ships, but in the end there was no news.

In desperation, she had to personally board the ship and cross the ocean.

Unexpectedly, she encountered evil spirits. The ship was destroyed before it

docked. There were only ten survivors.

I thought that when I finally reached the other side, I didn't expect that

this side had become a strange land.

The original dynasty no longer exists, and the Qi Kingdom territory where they

are located has become extremely dangerous. Not only are the enemies of the

prince kingdom active, but the demon society is directly rounded up by the

Privy Council. They have contacted the prefecture, animal husbandry, and

Gyeonggi, but the diplomatic documents they send out are always sinking into

the ocean, but in exchange for assassination by the enemy.

After more than two months, not only did they exhaust all their entanglements,

but six others died one after another.

Wu Yueyao also feels that her physical condition is getting worse every day.

The fact that everyone's nerves are highly tense due to hiding in Tibet.

Coupled with the situation of lack of food and clothing, dragging it on is

tantamount to waiting for death.

What gives them a glimmer of hope is the news that the country’s three

princesses have arrived here.

If you are the real superior of Qiguo, you may remember that the two sides

have had contacts.
