Heavenly Dao Formula

Seeing Yan Qing's unmoved appearance, Yu Linglong angrily punched the iron railing, "I don't understand! You obviously don't need to go to this point! They all left, and they went to a place that the second prince can't touch , what's the point of your insistence?"

Yan Qing sighed incredulously, "I didn't understand it before. I can only say that some things can only be understood after you have experienced them."

"..." Yu Linglong was silent for a long time, "I will come to see you again."

"It's best not to come, I can't guarantee that I can talk to you in the future." Yan Qing pretended to be relaxed, "That will only increase your troubles."

"I..." Just as she was about to say something, footsteps sounded in the prison.

Yu Linglong immediately raised her voice, "Didn't I tell you to stay outside!"

But she soon realized that the footsteps were chaotic and numerous, and there was more than one person entering the prison.

"who is it?"

Shadow has raised the longbow in his hand.

Under the dim light of the fire, the figures of the visitors gradually appeared—there were four people on the other side, three of whom wore knives and were dressed like guards, and the leader was wearing a red brocade robe and a jade crown, just like a nobleman.

"Ning Chunan?" Yu Linglong raised her eyebrows slightly.

"The correct name is His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince." Shadow muttered, "He is an annoying guy. But what is he doing here?"

"Who are you? Report your name." Ning Chunan stopped, he did not expect to run into an alchemist from the Privy Council in the prison.

"My... subordinate Yu Linglong," she cupped her hands casually, "the third-rank guard of the Privy Council is currently inspecting the prison. I wonder what your highness is doing here?"

"I don't need to report my whereabouts to you, right?" Ning Chunan walked past her, wanting to go deeper into the prison. "Just do your job well."

However, the fourth prince didn't take a few steps, a cold light suddenly shot out from the dark passage, almost sticking to his feet and inserting into the ground!

It was an arrow that was completely black.

"What, who is it!" Ning Chunan was so frightened that he took several steps back. The guards also drew their swords and surrounded the fourth prince.

"There is no one there, I am the one who shoots the arrow." Yu Linglong shrugged, "Of course, I didn't mean to hurt His Highness, but I just want to remind you that there are important prisoners of the Privy Council being imprisoned there. dangerous."

"Bold, what tone are you talking about!"

"Are you threatening His Highness?" the guard reprimanded loudly.

She was clearly behind her, but the arrow was shot from in front of her. Is this... also the ability of alchemists? Ning Chunan's complexion gradually darkened. But no matter what, her arrow was indeed aimed at herself.

What absurdity! A third-rank official can actually threaten the safety of the royal family, and regard status as nothing—and it is their ability far beyond ordinary people that drives them to act recklessly. "Those who feel angry", he hated this word a little more.

It's just that today is the day of the celebration, and he doesn't want to waste his energy on arguing with the other party.

"Okay, put away the swords! Is the prisoner you're talking about Olina Okan, the ambassador of the Holy Wing Islands?"

"It is this person."

"I have had some contact with her before, so I came to visit her. This matter has also been approved by my elder brother. Now you have no doubts, right? Besides, as long as she doesn't untie the shackles, how will she hurt me? You Privy Council The shackles are not so strong that even a prisoner can't control them."

Does the prince have something to say to Olina? Yu Linglong frowned slightly. This might be an opportunity to find out information, but it was the first time that the crown prince would ask this good-for-nothing fourth brother for work. Many thoughts came to her mind, but when she saw Yan Qing in the prison who was covered with scars, she suddenly lost all interest.

There was an interrogator watching over Olina, and the fourth prince, an ordinary person, obviously couldn't make any waves. Yu Linglong waved her hand, and was about to let him pass - at this moment, she noticed that Ning Chunan was staring at the green sword on the torture rack, with a strong greed in his eyes.

One of Yu Linglong's usual pleasures is visiting brothels, and occasionally she sees similar expressions in the eyes of some vulgar customers. But the fourth prince is not only that, besides greed, there are other emotions mixed in - there is hatred, pleasure and a strong sense of tyranny. He seems to want to possess each other, but also wants to destroy each other.

An uncontrollable nausea flooded Yu Linglong's heart.

She couldn't help thinking of another possibility.

That is, the so-called "something to say" by the fourth prince is just an excuse.

This kind of thing is not uncommon in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and she has heard of it before-using power to find happiness from such forgotten women, and relying on the pain of the other party to satisfy her own desires. What's more, the fourth prince's abnormal obsession with people who are sensitive to Qi is not a secret among the senior officials of the Privy Council.

She can't take care of the Criminal Department, and she doesn't want to take care of it, but this is the prison of the Privy Council, even if Olina is an enemy, she won't use this method to humiliate her.

Looking at the fourth prince's face, Yu Linglong felt a kind of nausea.

Ning Chunan looked away from Yan Qing, and when he was about to move on, Yu Linglong stopped him coldly.

"Stop."

This time, he also became a little impatient.

The enthronement ceremony is about to begin, and the eldest brother and the second brother have no time to pay attention to him. It is at this time that he has the opportunity to come to the prison. Who knows that he will be hindered by a guard again and again, which is simply annoying extreme.

"Enough! You give me—"

Just as Ning Chunan started talking, there was a deafening explosion from above his head!

In an instant, the prison seemed to be shaking!

The dust fell like rain amidst the violent vibrations, and the torches were also shaken. The already dark cell was dark for a moment, as if it would collapse at any time.

"The ground is shaking!"

For a while there were constant exclamations in the prison, and the Fourth Prince grabbed hold of the guards with a pale face. Only Yu Linglong showed surprise, and then looked towards the northwest with a solemn expression.

She realized that the shock just now did not come from her feet, but spread from the palace!

Something happened at the enthronement ceremony.

...

A quarter of an hour ago, Xicheng District.

"Little sister, where is your family? Are you lost?"

This is already the fourth resident who asked Qianyan proactively, and Qianyan put on a sweet smile as usual, "Father and mother are going to buy me candied haws, they told me to sit still by the side of the road and said that I would be back soon. "

"Then you must wait until they come!"

"Know it!"

After the person left, Qianyan turned his attention back to the ditch at his feet.

As a large-scale city, Shangyuan considered drainage, sewage and other issues at the beginning of its construction. The closer it was to the imperial palace, the wider and deeper the ditches would be. Even in the rainy season, when the roads in the outer city are muddy, the palace can still maintain a clean and tidy appearance.

Moreover, these ditches are also connected to the landscape of the royal garden through secret passages. The water level of the landscape can be maintained by retracting and opening the gates. At the same time, water can also be actively discharged on weekdays, and the underground ditches are flushed by the water level to prevent them from being blocked by sediment or fallen leaves.

Hundreds of years ago, Qian Yan followed the ancestors of the Fang family to visit the garden landscape in the palace, and witnessed the whole process of the water discharge from the river. Now Shangyuan City has expanded more than a circle, but the layout and direction of the internal drainage system have not changed at all, just like it was a hundred years ago.
