After two earth-shaking roars, Yan Qing realized that there was a big problem with the enthronement ceremony.
She subconsciously took steps to go to the palace area, but the stinging pain on her ankle suddenly brought her back to reality.
- She is now a prisoner of the Privy Council. No matter what happens during the ceremony, it has nothing to do with her.
After Yu Linglong made sure that the shaking subsided, she locked the cell door and walked towards the underground exit, obviously to inquire about the situation outside. As for the fourth prince... she didn't pay attention to this person at all. When the explosion subsided, the other person had disappeared without a trace.
Looking at the shackles on his hands, Yan Qing sighed silently.
The second prince can make full use of Bai Zhan and Qian's strength, He'er's control over the overall situation is unparalleled, and the seven-star envoys of Xu and Gao... If Shangyuan City really encounters any trouble, they will not stand idly by.
In other words, no matter who is provoking the authority of the Privy Council, the final result is destined to fail.
She is not the indispensable person.
Even though she had put a lot of effort into the idea of the Seven-Star Privy Council.
Even though she, like everyone else, looks forward to the prosperous future after the unification of the six countries.
The question is, which alchemist will not be shaken by this ambitious goal
With the obstacles of the aristocratic family removed, the last obstacle to the Privy Council's acquisition of talents has also been lifted. Under the unified distribution and teaching of the school department, the basic education level of Qi Sensers will surely be greatly improved. In the next few years, the young generation with extraordinary talents should emerge in endlessly, like crucian carp crossing the river.
It was only natural that she was gradually forgotten.
Sometimes Yan Qing even has a strange feeling in her heart.
Maybe it wouldn't be such a bad thing if she died here.
The overall situation of the six countries has been decided, and the goals they have worked hard for will eventually be achieved.
Similarly, Li's identity can continue to be hidden, as long as that guy doesn't mess around.
Suddenly, some strange noises came from the quiet prison.
Yan Qing concluded from experience that someone was approaching this way - the steps were very shallow, and they had the intention of deliberately taking care of them. The jailer obviously wouldn't walk like this, and the alchemist of the Privy Council... didn't seem to have any need to hide his whereabouts.
"Yu Linglong?"
she asked for the first time.
No one in the dark corridor responded to her inquiry.
Yan Qing's heart sank slightly.
The other party has just left here, and it is unlikely that outsiders will be allowed to enter the underground prison. Coupled with the noise coming from the palace, she couldn't help but think of a possibility - the latent forces of the Holy Wing Islands were planning to rob the prison. The attack on the palace was fake, but the rescue of Olina Okan was real! And Yu Linglong, who went to inquire about the situation, probably bumped into them.
Since they are now in the prison, it means that something unexpected may have happened to Yu Linglong...
Yan Qing struggled hard, but except for bursts of stinging pain, the shackles on his hands and feet did not move at all.
She couldn't help but grit her teeth.
"Found it! He's here."
There were murmurs outside the cell.
Sure enough, he came to rob the prison!
"Are you sure it's Yan Qing?"
"The characteristics of Qi are exactly the same."
"Okay, help me keep an eye on the surrounding situation."
And the target of their prison robbery was Yan Qing—wait a minute, Yan Qing was suddenly startled, it wasn’t Olina Okan, but herself
A burst of fire suddenly lit up.
The visitor raised a torch and dispersed the darkness of the cell.
Looking at the man in front of her, Yan Qing was stunned for a while before murmuring, "Xia... Fan?"
Xia Fan took off the soft leather disguise stuck to his nose and said, "It's me. I'm here to take you out of Shangyuan City."
Seeing Qing Jian himself, he was slightly relieved. Although the other party seemed to have suffered some torture, he was still in good condition. Moreover, from entering the cell to discovering the target, it only took about a quarter of an hour, which can be said to be very smooth.
"Where is Yu Linglong?" Yan Qing was in a daze for a moment, then suddenly came to her senses, "You won't let her—"
"It turns out that the person sitting in that carriage is Yu Linglong?" Xia Fan first lit the torch on the wall, and then stepped forward to check the condition of the shackles. "I didn't see her in person, but she was attacked by a hidden arrow after entering the door." It seems strange to me, why does it feel like there are so few jailors and guards in this prison?"
It was probably Yu Linglong who drove them away, or maybe it was the Fourth Prince who did it... No, that's not the point. Yan Qing stared at Xia Fan and asked word by word, "Why are you back again? Didn't I ask you to take Li away from the capital and go as far as possible!"
"If you were not caught by the Privy Council, we should indeed be on our way back to Jinxia."
"You are too messy!" Yan Qing began to wonder whether her persistence was meaningful. How could a person like this dare to sneak back to Shangyuan City under the eyes of the Privy Council? If he was caught, wouldn't he drag Li into the water? By then it will be all over! "You can escape from here before the Privy Council notices it! As for me, I don't mind—"
"Of course it's not all good!" Xia Fan interrupted her, "You have helped everyone, and everyone wants to help you. Isn't this a matter of course? What's more, the most important thing is... Li doesn't want to leave you alone. Here. Bear with it, it might hurt a little."
He stretched out his hands, close to the connection between the shackles and the torture rack, and a dazzling arc of light suddenly flashed on his fingertips.
Under the action of the arc, several pins quickly turned red and softened until they fell apart from the connections.
It was the first time that Yan Qing saw that the shock technique could be used like this!
Xia Fan smiled and said, "I said that the title of Thunder Envoy of the Nine Heavens is not wasted."
Soon, her hands and feet were free again.
Although there are still some locks fixed on her wrists and ankles, these can be removed slowly after escaping from Shangyuan City.
Now when it was time to leave the cage, Yan Qing showed hesitation.
She knew that once she left, her reputation as a traitor would be established, and no matter how she explained, no one would believe her.
"I… "
"Buzzing—" At this moment, the detector behind Xia Fan vibrated. He connected to the audio device, and Li's voice came from there, "Hey... Xia Fan, can you hear it? There is a group of people heading towards Dongcheng District... Hey... I saw that there are at least fourth-grade alchemists in the team. ... I wonder if they discovered our plan... Hey... How are you doing over there? No matter what... you'd better hurry up."
Since he was underground, the noise in the signal was much denser, but fortunately the distance was close enough that Xia Fan could still fully hear the information provided by the other party.
However, without setting up an antenna, he can only receive the radio waves sent by the other party unilaterally, but cannot reply.
On the other side, Yan Qing stood blankly on the spot.
If she heard correctly, it was clearly Li's voice, and the content of the conversation showed that she was not in prison at the moment, but at a high point in the city where she could observe the flow of people in the city. How do two people achieve real-time dialogue when they are so far apart
Rely on alchemy? But the fox demon belongs to Kan, and she has never heard of a Kan technique that can achieve similar effects.
"You should have heard the voice just now. In order to rescue you, Li is currently monitoring the movements of the Privy Council Mansion above Tianfu Street. In the entire plan, she is the last person to evacuate Shangyuan City." Xia Fan looked directly at her. Yan Qing's eyes solemnly said, "I know what you are hesitating about, but the fact is that you have lost the trust of the Privy Council. Whether you leave or stay, it will not change other people's views on you! More importantly, Do you want Li’s efforts to go to waste!?”
This sentence shocked Yan Qing slightly.
She is not an indecisive person, nor is she determined to seek death.
Since it does not affect the overall situation of the Privy Council and Li can survive, what does it matter if she will be misunderstood
"Let's make an agreement first. Even if you rescue me, I will not be loyal to the third princess."
"It doesn't matter. It's your freedom to whom you want to be loyal to. Do you still remember what I said before?" Xia Fan stretched out his hand, "If you have time in the future, you can go to Jinxia and have a look. Maybe there will be a difference by then. Opinion—" He paused, "You're free now."
Yan Qing was silent for a moment, then held the hand.
