Heavenly Dao Formula

Combined with everyone's rhetoric, Xia Fan also understood the situation outside the palace that night.

The crown prince was almost assassinated in front of thousands of people, so the news spread very fast, and when it reached the Wanjing Tower, the floating lights hadn't even been extinguished.

Li Ben planned to go to the palace to find out, but was stopped gently by Luo. According to the latter's understanding, after such a thing happened, the security of the palace would increase exponentially. If there is still a little space for diving in the usual time, going now is definitely a self-guided choice.

The fact is just as Luo Qingqing expected, the people on the street were quickly cleared by the imperial army, patrolling guards appeared at the entrances of all streets, and even the roofs of some houses began to have crossbowmen in place. Once they leave their residences in spite of the ban, they will undoubtedly become the most visible targets.

So Li released Gun Gun to go to the palace.

Although the cat spirit can't talk, its IQ can already understand and implement the intention of the "master".

In the end, according to rolling feedback, there was no strong "bloody smell" around the Palace Square - which meant that the assassination was only aimed at the prince, and there was no turmoil or suppression at the scene. In the middle of the night of the Lantern Festival, which came to an abrupt end, this was a piece of reassuring news. Coupled with Fang Xiandao's divination, everyone decided to wait for one night and make a decision based on tomorrow's situation.

After a sleepless night, everyone waited for the news of the delivery of Xinwu.

"So the prince himself is safe and sound?" Qian Yan asked.

"Yes. Otherwise, I guess it wouldn't be so easy to let people go over there."

"It's a pity." Luo Qingqing's tone was slightly regretful.

Xia Fan quickly glanced behind him—fortunately, Xin Wu didn't follow into the house.

"This is a bit strange," Fang Xiandao pondered for a moment, "The crown prince is the first heir of the Qi Kingdom, and the Holy Majesty personally approved it. The Privy Council has no reason to trouble him, so it can only be attributed to the assassin's personal thoughts. But... why did you choose it on the Lantern Festival? Not to mention that it is easy to reveal whereabouts, and there are many guards around the prince, and even this person didn't even expect the life-saving magic weapon."

"No matter what the reason is, the Privy Council must be in trouble now." Qian Yan showed a little smile, "The six departments of the imperial court and the Privy Council have been at odds with each other, and now is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity to beat the other party."

"Anyway, it has nothing to do with Jinxia, ​​we just need to wait for the result." Luo Qingqing said indifferently.

"I don't know how long the lockdown will last. It would be nice if it could end sooner." Fang Yanni still had some lingering fears.

"By the way, did the Yuyi you met at the Wandeng Banquet mention the specific content of the ceremony?" Li changed the subject.

Xia Fan shook his head, "That guy is very tight-lipped, and he will know when he speaks."

"So they're really just meeting you for a meal?"

"I doubt it too, but that seems to be the case."

"Qianzhi has a problem, does Yuyi look very powerful?" The little girl interjected.

"How should I put it..." Xia Fan thought for a while, "It feels like a very ordinary middle-aged man, about thirty-five or sixteen years old, and there is nothing special about him except for his rough appearance."

"Ordinary?" Fang Xiandao snorted, "The other party is a first-rank official in the Privy Council. Those who can climb to this position have proven themselves by relying on bloody achievements. If you have to deal with him in the future, you should be cautious. good."

"Master, are you caring about others?"

"I'm thinking about the future of the Fang family!"

Xia Fan couldn't help but twitched the corner of his mouth.

Rather than saying that Yuyi is "dry", he is more concerned about the words of another green sword "Yunshang Layman", especially the sentence "The grand ceremony is not a trifling matter, it is related to the future of the countries" - Could it be that Qiguo Privy Council The internal ceremonies are also related to other kingdoms?

Not only that, this person also mentioned a strange term.

"Qianyan," he looked at the living fossils in the room, "Have you ever heard of the position of the Privy Council Envoy in the Privy Council?"

Qian Yan shook his head, "What is that?"

"Judging from their tone, this person's status seems to be higher than Yuyi's."

After thinking for a while, she still denied, "The division of Yuyi Qingjian guards can be traced back to the Yongwang period, but at that time the title was more representative of ability rather than merit. Later, people just inherited this name. Whether it is the Privy Council Before or after the establishment, I have never heard of this official position."

Xia Fan nodded. It seems that the answer to this question will not be known until the ceremony begins.

"Ah... there is one more thing." Li suddenly remembered something, "Don't forget to report to Her Royal Highness later, yesterday she took the initiative to send a message to ask."

Uh - Xia Fan's expression froze suddenly. He forgot about this matter last night and agreed to report the news every day, but something went wrong on the third day.

Even if it is force majeure.

"The person who picked you up, isn't he going to leave?" Luo gently leaned against the window and said, "The carriage is still parked at the gate, and there is no sign of him in the carriage."

"Is it?"

Xia Fan glanced out of the inn with some surprise, then walked to the door of the wing room, opened the sliding door, and saw that the messenger was still guarding the place and did not leave.

"Lord Xia," Xin Wu condensedly said, "I have something to tell you."

After leading 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 find out the truth, so as to prevent Xiao Xiao from turning the world upside down and benefiting from it!"

"Wait..." Xia Fan was stunned, "Are you talking about me?"

"There is no second choice but you."

"You get up first."

"If you don't agree—"

Before he could finish speaking, Xia Fan pulled him off the ground, "Sit down and talk. This is the Privy Council of Gyeonggi, and you asked me, a prime minister of Jinxia City, to help you find out the truth? It’s not something I can help if I’m willing to help, right?”

"You are indeed only a hundred blades in name, but you have the potential to become a core member in the list of the Privy Council. This is not something you can get in exchange for high or low official titles." Xin Wu insisted, "If it is normal, let you help the president There are naturally doubts in the government's investigation, but now most of the alchemists in Shangyuan City have rushed to Su and You. In the palace. If you want to choose a person to take over the overall situation, only you are the most suitable!"

"Besides, this is not my idea alone." He raised his voice a little bit higher, "After I learned the news of the accident in the palace last night, I have secretly contacted my colleagues who were hiding in the dark——although their abilities and levels are all It is very limited, but it is unanimously agreed that the reserve core members will instruct them. There are thirty-two of these alchemists, as long as you nod and agree, they will all become your helpers."
