Heavenly Dao Formula

"This is……"

"The Fang family's secret ritual, the frozen coffin." Qian Yan said from the other side.

Xia Fan followed the prestige and found that not only Qianyan, but the head of the Fang family and the old lady were also in the hall.

"This technique is usually used to preserve the bodies of the living dead to prevent them from being attacked by other outsiders when they are recovering from dying."

"That is to say, can it be lifted at any time?" Xia Fan asked.

"Yes, as long as the formation is reversed, this ice coffin can be completely gasified in half a day without harming the body of the undead." Qian Yan nodded, "But it has never been used on ordinary people who sense gas. Therefore, it is unknown what adverse effect it will have on the princess. Her Royal Highness originally wanted to hold on until you came back, but the situation at that time could no longer allow delay, so I made my own decision and froze her body."

Soon, Xia Fan learned the whole process from the other party.

After Ning Wanjun was sent back to the villa, everyone fell into panic and confusion, and the only one who remained calm was the maid Qiuyue. She picked up the princess' waist card and issued a series of orders, including closing the Shangzhuang, asking the privy mansion to come to the village for treatment, and after finding that it didn't work, she asked Fang's family and Penglai for help, and even found Yu who had a similar situation. exquisite.

But there is nothing anyone can do.

Seeing that Ning Wanjun's injury was extremely deteriorating, Qianyan took the initiative to stand up and lead the freezing ceremony.

"Her choice is correct." In the silence, Yu Linglong said, "The princess's soul has been injured, and the traditional treatment has lost its effectiveness. If it is only a minor injury, it may last for a long time. But at that time, His Highness The lungs are seriously injured, and the blood flows back into the internal organs, which is enough to cause fatal injuries to those suffering from qi."

Xia Fan looked around, and everyone in the hall looked a little gloomy. They all more or less heard the news of the victory of Jinxia's left army. Once the two wings were broken, the battle situation basically became a certainty, but at this moment, no one could be happy. The princess is of royal blood, representing the jurisprudence that governs Shenzhou, and even Qiguo. Now that she has lost consciousness and is deeply trapped in the long ice coffin, the originally bright road suddenly becomes hazy again.

Because of Ning Wanjun's importance, the Fang family obviously took a huge risk by daring to take the initiative to use extraordinary means at this time to freeze Princess Guangping by using the undead spell that has never been verified on ordinary alchemists.

Perhaps this is the reason why Yu Linglong stood up to speak for Qianyan.

"Thank you." Xia Fan knelt down and patted her on the head, "You did a good job."

Qianyan snorted lightly, but did not express any resistance.

"By the way, where is Qiuyue?" Only then did he notice that there seemed to be no maid in the hall.

"She's in the inner hall." Mo Yun replied, her eyes were red, her gaze was fixed on the ice coffin, her expression was a little dazed, "Qiuyue also said that if you come back, she has something very important to tell you."

Xia Fan nodded, turned around and walked towards the back room.

In the rest room at the back of the main hall, he saw the princess's personal maid—different from the calm and calm Qiuyue that everyone said, she was sitting on the soft edge, her hands were trembling uncontrollably, and her face was so pale that she couldn't see it. To a trace of blood.

Hearing Xia Fan's footsteps, she slowly raised her head, completely no longer as sharp and vigilant as before.

"Master Xia..."

"I'm here." Xia Fan sat down in front of her.

In the next second, she hugged Xia Fan and began to sob—the voice was suppressed very low, as if she didn't want people outside to notice, but Xia Fan could hear it clearly, the intermittent crying sounded like a kind of Restraint pouring out after a long time.

After almost a moment, Qiuyue slowly raised her head.

Xia Fan, who had been prepared for a long time, handed a handkerchief to her.

"I'm sorry... I'm rude." The maid wiped her tears-smeared cheeks indiscriminately, "I... failed to protect the princess." At this point, she twitched her nose, and felt a great deal of guilt and self-blame again. heart.

"The battlefield is like this, no one can guarantee a perfect strategy." Xia Fan comforted. She was not as calm and composed as everyone described, but her desire to save the princess overwhelmed her panic, "The key is what to do next. There is no doubt that the princess is still alive, and it is far from hopeless now. "

Qiuyue nodded and said after a while of silence, "His Royal Highness asked me to tell you that if something happens to her, you will take over Jinxia."

"Me?" Xia Fan was startled.

"Yes. She also said that you can trust Mo Yun." Qiuyue paused, "Of course... you can also trust me. Her Royal Highness' entrustment is my lifelong goal."

"I won't take that seat." Xia Fan said frankly.

"You..." Qiuyue was stunned, she didn't seem to expect that the other party would reject such a thing, "Why?"

"It's only suitable for Ning Wanjun to sit there. Before she wakes up, the bureau is enough to take care of the daily affairs of Shenzhou. As for me..." Xia Fan said seriously, "I will find all ways to make her recover. Come here. Don't worry, Her Royal Highness will not just sleep forever."

...

After the First World War of the Left Route Army, the ten-state coalition forces of the Privy Council no longer had any meaning to persist.

Under the intervention of Ning Qianshi and Gan, the 60,000-strong Chinese army and the struggling right-hand army disintegrated one after another, and the generals of the various ministries led them back to their hometowns to be disbanded.

Not only that, but a group of core alchemists also publicly stated that they would withdraw from the Gyeonggi Privy Council and stay permanently in Jinxia from now on. This also made everyone realize that the Privy Council has existed in name only.

In the future, the capital of Qiguo may no longer be the Shangyuan City that lasted for a hundred years.

And those aristocratic families and powerful families in various states and cities are waiting to see the princess's next move-if the Privy Council withdraws power, someone will inevitably fill it.

But unexpectedly, there was no movement in Jinxia City for a long time, as if it had just been silent.

However, anyone who visits Jinxia will find that this place is still prosperous and lively.

This war basically revolved around Jiujiang and the outskirts of the city. The impact on the people's livelihood in Shenzhou was not serious. It became more prosperous - a large number of captives chose to make a living on the spot, and the influence of Jinxia City's victory over the Privy Council was increasing day by day, making the population inflow reach a new peak.

This can be seen from the consumption of marine fish.

For the first time, the supply and marketing of cold chain food was in excess of demand. No matter how much seafood the two tree boats salvage, they can be sold out within a day or two. The problem of needing to build cold storage to store food is no longer a problem. exist.

The expansion of Jinxia City has not stopped at all. In addition to the original south city wall, the west city wall has also been included in the demolition plan. The city area has more than doubled in a short period of time, and the number of permanent residents has reached 400,000 for the first time. .

All the affairs in the city can be said to have entered a fast lane of rapid development.

It's just that in restaurants, teahouses and other places, you can occasionally hear some not-so-good rumors.

For example, Her Royal Highness has not shown up for a long time.
