Heavenly Dao Formula

Chapter 319: 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.ltnovel.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.
