Liuzhou, Huiyang City.
The highest-ranking official here, Zhou Mu, and a group of officials under him have now been replaced by managers trained by the Privy Council. Although the replaced people are not very willing, before the torrent that the Privy Council has planned for a long time, any Blocking is in vain.
The only ones left behind were those clerks and handymen who were not registered by the court. Due to their low positions, they were hardly affected by this great change in the officialdom, but the benefits they received were few and far between.
Even though the government office still retains its original appearance, the people and things inside are completely different.
The current "command post" for the Jinxia City operation is located in Huiyang Chengzhou Mufu.
Since the second prince and most of the core alchemists still needed to stay in Gyeonggi to stabilize the situation, the responsibility of establishing a "command post" on the front line was naturally placed in Feinian's hands.
But that was not the original plan.
The initial arrangement of the headquarters was to place the command post in Shenzhou, preferably in a big city like Anshen or Baisha, only two to three days away from Jinxia. This would not only facilitate monitoring of Jinxia, but also facilitate subsequent marches. Combat.
However, after one winter, the situation in Shenzhou has undergone tremendous changes.
To be honest, Fei Nian, who received the information on the way, could be described as being caught off guard - the local officials Anshen and Baisha were still there, but they had either taken refuge with the third princess or were in prison. The people in power in the city had completely changed their roles.
If that's all, that's it. As long as these people still have real power, the Privy Council is not afraid of being unable to bring them back. The problem is that most towns in Shenzhou have an additional agency called the Secretariat. It is these institutions that have taken away all the authority of the government.
The spies sent out must have been trying to use various means to invade the Secretariat, but compared to wooing old officials, this process is obviously much slower.
In desperation, Feinian had to improvise and set up the command post in Huiyang City, Liuzhou.
This made the turnover of information about twice as slow as planned. The spies had clearly launched operations, but he had not waited for the second round of information.
What they know most clearly now is that Ning Wanjun's actions were much more aggressive than they expected. He took advantage of the snow period of less than two months to attack the entire Shenzhou, except for some towns near the edge. Except for the control, all other areas are owned by the princess. As for how Ning Wanjun conquered the two fortified cities of Anshen and Baisha, there are various theories available so far, but the word "dragon" appears in almost all the information.
Olina Okan!
This is the only dragon that can appear in Shenzhou.
It has to be said that inviting Xia Fan to the capital was a bad move. If he did not come, Ning Wanjun would only have one listener at most. But when he came to Gyeonggi, he brought back Olina and Yan Qing. Now it seems that Olina has joined the third princess, and Yan Qing is still unknown... If the latter also betrays the headquarters, the princess will have an extra Qingjian and a person between the guard and Qingjian. Dragon demon.
But this is not what worries Fei Nian the most.
Olina is from Xiji and represents the power of the Holy Wing Islands. If these overseas people use Jinxia as a springboard to infiltrate Qi Kingdom, Qixing's plan to counterattack will definitely suffer a major setback.
The mainland must not be allowed to be touched by outsiders!
"Master Fei, new information from Shenzhou has been sent over." At this time, a subordinate reported.
Is it finally here
Feinian said without hesitation, "Send it to the lobby immediately, let the recording department's classification team sort it out, and send the valuable ones to my desk."
"yes!"
The intelligence collected from Shenzhou is diverse and recorded in various ways, some of which are even a piece of tree bark. He simply cannot handle such a huge amount of information on his own. It must first be handed over to professionals from the Recording Department for preliminary screening, and then he will read it, organize it, and send it to Gyeonggi Province.
Just as Feinian sat down, a piece of information was delivered to his desk.
"S-Sir, you'd better take a look at this first—" an eighth-grade alchemist from the induction team said in surprise.
"Oh? Screened out so quickly?" He picked up the information and frowned immediately. The writing on it was clear and compact, and it was clearly printed. There are also a few big characters on the title - "Shenjin Weekly". What happened? Did someone send the book printed in Jinxia City? But to say it is a book is not worthy of the name. After all, it only has a few thin pages...
"Master Fei, I have important information here!"
"Sir, I am here too!"
More people handed over "intelligence", and they all turned out to be the same thing.
Apparently many spies were interested in the same news, but instead of relaying the news, they chose to send Jinxia's printed product directly!
Don’t they know that the most important thing about intelligence is its timeliness? And what is printed is always—
Fei Nian couldn't help but froze when he saw half of it.
What was recorded on the paper seemed to be something that happened just half a month ago. But what is this writing about? Fight against the invading fleet of the Natatin Kingdom; save the distressed elves of the World Island; the real dragon appears in Jinxia City and becomes the biggest contributor to the victory of this battle
So "The Weekly" is a story
It's really a dragon... How can there be any monster in this world that can control wind and rain
But the portrait is quite realistic.
There are also details everywhere in the storybook...
Wait, Feinian suddenly realized something was wrong. With such a giant tree boat, these spies should be able to verify it easily. Dong Mao, who is in charge of the Ministry of Records, has assured that these people are professional spies loyal to the Privy Council, and they should not neglect to confirm the authenticity of the information.
The fact that so many people choose to send the weekly newspaper back only proves that what is said above is by no means a literal story.
Isn’t Jinxia City a salt city
When was it possible to set foot in the sea and engage in a naval battle with the West Pole Kingdom
Unfortunately, there is no detailed description of this part on the paper. There are only some such things as "using advanced weapons developed by the Mechanism Bureau", "continuous operations in complex sea conditions", "using special equipment to win thousands of miles", etc. which seem quite vague and mysterious. words.
To be honest, Fei Nian felt quite excited when he saw Jin Xia defeating the overseas invaders. Unfortunately, the part about taking in the elves and cooperating with the dragon demon later made him frown deeply.
"Xia Fan... do you know what you are doing..."
He couldn't help but whisper. Once the demon takes off, it is easy to find the possibility of a stable continuation method. The advantages of natural magic make them inherently stronger than ordinary Qi-sensing people in terms of competition. The fact that all the top leaders of the Western Extremes countries have been controlled by demons is the best proof - he is not ignorant about this. Does he really have no scruples about the possible consequences
"Sir, here is the second issue of the weekly report!"
"What? Come over here and show me!"
Fei Nian opened the newspaper and saw the words "Second Issue" behind the headline. So weekly report means reporting once a week
And the content of this version caused him to fall into strong self-doubt.
He can understand the Spring Festival celebration.
But what is a concert
In a public and grand performance, the person on stage is either a woman or a demon
Ning Wanjun is still publicly preaching on such a formal occasion, showing that Jinxia City is willing to treat monsters equally
Fei Nian suddenly had an illusion... as if this city had little to do with Daqi, but was an alien entity in the world.
