In the living room, after listening to Xia Fan's story, the princess and Wuyue Yao looked solemn.
"It has been almost a hundred years since the founding of Daqi. I thought it was normal for local officials to be corrupted, but they always surprise me." After a moment of silence, Ning Wanjun smiled silently, her eyes filled with chills. .
"I think the Wang family must have contributed a lot behind this." Xia Fan said calmly, "I'm just a little concerned about why a city that doesn't even have sewers built so many twists and turns underground."
"When Yongguo was still there, many facilities were built underground. This was an ancient battlefield. Maybe the tunnels were left over from that time."
"Please allow me to interrupt you two." Wuyueyao interjected, "If you want to take action against the Donghai Gang, I should give my full support, but the current situation may not be optimistic."
"Because the An family is here too?" Xia Fan asked.
"Yes." The great witch nodded seriously, "I have said before that this family is good at the art of yin and yang and often drives evil spirits to fight, so it is difficult to measure the strength of an An family member. If you do it rashly, I am afraid you will suffer some losses. .”
"What you actually want to say is that you are afraid of heavy losses, right?" Ning Wanjun said without hesitation. Whether it is to attack the Donghai Gang or weaken Anjia's power, the Yama Kingdom should be happy to see the results. Even so, the other party still wants to dissuade her for only one reason, and that is that this bone is really difficult to chew. It is so difficult that the great witch is afraid of chewing away the allies she finally found.
"I don't mean to underestimate the Privy Council, but the An family's magic is really hard to guard against."
The princess looked at Xia Fan, "I wonder what you think? Plans always change faster than plans. Even if you want to stop, I won't say anything more."
"Your Highness also thinks this hand is difficult to cut?"
"More than just hands, these have become a leg of the Wang family." Ning Wanjun shrugged, "If it were placed in the suburbs, it might be possible to use tactics, but the opponent is hiding them all in one place, and there are people who are sensitive to Qi. If we attack head-on, the outcome will indeed be unpredictable. There is more than one way to suppress the Wang family, so it doesn't matter if the Donghai Gang lets them go first."
"I agree with His Highness," He Guicai, the princess's adviser, echoed, "We must not only win, but also let the evil spirits escape. If we cannot control the situation and involve the surrounding people, then the problem will be troublesome."
Just when everyone thought Xia Fan was going to change his plan, Xia Fan was uncharacteristically relaxed, "My thoughts are contrary to yours. If the Donghai Gang is stationed in the suburbs, it will be a head-to-head battle. We only rely on the strength at hand." , it is difficult to eliminate the opponent completely at once. However, they are hiding in the tunnel and do not know that they have been targeted, which is equivalent to handing the initiative of total annihilation into our hands. "
"It is indeed suitable to hold on for encirclement and suppression, but that must be done when our troops have the advantage." Staff He quickly advised, "The art of war is not that simple."
"I don't understand the art of war, so I didn't plan to encircle and suppress them."
"Then how are you going to annihilate all the enemies?" The other party frowned.
"It can't be Mi Xiang, right?" Luo Youer clapped her hands, "It's the same trick you used on Senior Sister!"
Xia Fan suddenly felt that he had become the center of attention at the venue.
"Mixiang?" Li asked lightly.
"Colorless and odorless, it will knock you out when you smell it. It is also very effective for opponents." The more Luo Youer said, the more feasible it became. "As long as the incense is lit in the tunnel and puts the Donghai Gang into sleep, we can take down the opponent in one fell swoop. !”
"Oh?" Ning Wanjun became interested, "You still have such good things? No wonder You'er called you before -"
"It's not the same thing as I said!" Xia Fan quickly interrupted, "That thing does have a hypnotic effect, but there is air flow in the tunnel and there are many branches. It is almost impossible to make everyone fall asleep at the same time. Arrive. If the targets fall one after another, it will only give the enemy time to be alert and react."
"Even if it can be done, it may not be effective." Li stared at him for a while before adding, "It is not difficult to restrain sleepiness with alchemy, not to mention that some magic can predict danger. After all, this method is just a heresy. .”
"Yes..." Ning Wanjun curled her lips, seeming a little regretful, "So what are your plans?"
As the princess of Qi State, why are you regretting it
Xia Fan rubbed his forehead and said, "I'm going to use a few simple tricks to create an unexpected attack." Then he gave an overview of his new plan.
After listening, there was silence in the living room.
"Just... that simple?" In the end, the princess was the first to speak.
"It's that simple." Xia Fan affirmed.
"Are you sure what you said can have such an effect?"
"Remember that crystal cup?" He smiled, "Sometimes power is contained in simple things."
This sentence made the princess no longer have any doubts.
"I can prepare what you want tomorrow."
"Then take action tomorrow night." Xia Fan looked at Wuyue Yao, "To ensure nothing goes wrong, I hope your men can also participate in this raid."
"It's my duty." The latter promised.
…
At two o'clock the next day, in the Privy Council Palace.
In order to avoid leaking the news, Xia Fan dismissed everyone early, closed the door of the headquarters, and pretended that he was closing the palace on time. After Haishi, everyone quietly returned to the headquarters lobby through the side door.
At this time, it is difficult to see lights in Jinxia City, even in the Chunlou Night Alley, it is time for customers to close down. Most of the people had already fallen asleep. Except for the occasional night cat chirping above their heads, the sky above the city was completely shrouded in night and silence.
This is Xia Fan's first external action since he took over the command - and from this time on, the alchemists no longer simply deal with evil spirits, but want to eliminate the sources of evil spirits.
Whether it is Wei Wushuang and Luo Youer who have always supported him, or the new recruits Li Xing, Sun Haotian and others, they all wear a brand new golden and iron sword.
The wooden sword kills the evil in the world.
The steel sword kills evildoers.
"Then... the time has come." Xia Fan looked around at everyone and was about to give the departure order when a familiar figure appeared at the door of the Privy Council Palace.
"You have forgotten an alchemist." The visitor said with a smile.
"Your Highness, Your Highness?" Wei Wushuang was stunned.
"No, it's Shangguan Cai." Under the light of the torch, Ning Wanjun returned to her appearance when she first met her. Her nose was slightly flat and there were a few freckles on both sides. The only thing that remained unchanged was her pair of energetic eyes. Overflowing eyes. "I am also a student of the same class after all. You can't leave me behind."
"Ahem..." Xia Fan hesitated, "Your Highness Princess... I'm afraid this is inappropriate?"
"What's wrong?" She raised her eyebrows, "On the battlefield, I always take the lead in the charge."
Xia Fan winked at Qiuyue behind her. She was usually worried about this and that, but why was she silent at this time
Qiuyue seemed to have seen what he was thinking, and shook her head helplessly and said, "Master Xia, just let her go with you. His Highness's decision will never be changed easily... Besides, she is indeed the best at battles. "
After hearing what the other party said, Xia Fan noticed that the princess's eyes were full of anticipation and impatience.
She was born for the battlefield.
"I understand," he stopped trying to dissuade him and said directly to the crowd, "Now that everyone is here, let's begin the annihilation operation. Its code name is "Reaching for the Stars", and we strive not to let anyone go! Everyone, let’s go! "
"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison.
