Just when Ning Wanjun was about to try again, a dark figure suddenly appeared above everyone's heads. Olina Okan stretched her broad wings, whizzed past the martial arts arena, and slid down to the center of the villa.
The princess turned to look at Xia Fan, who nodded at her.
"Let's go." Xia Fan then said to Yu Linglong.
"Leave?" Yu Linglong had not yet recovered from the dispute with Shadow, "Where are you going?"
"The living room." Xia Fan stood up and said, "I've reached Jinxia."
Like the previous attack on the intelligence center in Huiyang City, the double relay between Chi and Olina can complete a cross-state round trip in the shortest time. When the two dragons were changing shifts at the Shenzhou border, Xia Fan had already learned about Yuyi's imminent arrival through the audio device.
"What?" Yu Linglong looked shocked, "He's also coming to Jinxia? How come it's so fast?"
"I don't know the specific details, but the core of the Privy Council has obviously deteriorated."
In the reception hall of the villa, almost all the senior officials of the two warring parties gathered here. On one side were the Jinxia sect, led by Ning Wanjun and Xia Fan, and on the other side sat Qian, Yan Qing and Yu Linglong. Although the second prince Ning Qianshi and several other Qingjian guards were missing, the place where Yuyi was present could already represent most of the Gyeonggi headquarters.
In order to record this meaningful meeting, the Propaganda Department of the Secretariat also sent Luo Youer and Yu Shuangxue to follow up in real time so that they could be reported in the Shenjin Weekly.
Luo Youer is now one of the heads of the Propaganda Department, and Yu Shuangxue has become a special writer for the weekly newspaper because she has written several articles for newspapers and received good response.
To be honest, Yu Shuangxue was a little nervous when she received the notice.
She has lived in Shangyuan City for so long, so she naturally knows what Qingjian and Yuyi in the Privy Council mean. In a sense, they are people who live in a different world from her. The princes of aristocratic families and wealthy merchants and gentry in Gyeonggi Province can easily influence their destiny, but even the top among these people can only bow their heads and avoid Qingjian Yuyi.
In addition, the Privy Council was planning to launch an all-out war with Jinxia, and armies from all walks of life had gathered at the border of Shenzhou. She could imagine the heated scene such a meeting would be with her eyes closed. According to common sense, the two factions will inevitably confront each other, become at war with each other, or directly fight in the villa.
The duel between high-level alchemists would definitely be described as shaking the earth and turning the sun and the moon without light. If she, an ordinary person, were affected, her end could be imagined. But even so, she still accepted the assignment from the Secretariat. After all, this war was closely related to everyone. With Huo Ying as a role model, she didn't want to escape.
However, the actual situation in the living room shocked Yu Shuangxue. Not to mention the smell of gunpowder, the atmosphere at the scene was harmonious, and the high-status Yu Yiyi looked no different from an ordinary middle-aged uncle. A feeling of homelessness and desolation.
"That's roughly the situation." Qian sighed. His injuries had been basically cured by the rabbit demon, but the sea of qi still needed time to recover, so that he seemed a little weak when he spoke. "Baizhan has become the new user of feathers." , He'er, Ning Qianshi, Weihuang and Duyelong are all missing. Judging from the results, the goal that the Privy Council Office has been striving for has completely failed."
"It's not your fault. Ending the imperial power and wiping out the aristocratic families made us complacent, but we forgot to examine ourselves."
"Let me tell you, this is all caused by evil spirits, and Fei Nian is the culprit!"
Yan Qing and Yu Linglong took turns comforting him.
"As Hagoromo, I should be responsible for this no matter what." Qian shook his head, "If I hadn't followed the practice of staying away from government affairs before, I wouldn't have allowed evil forces to penetrate to this extent."
"What has happened cannot be changed. The key is what to do in the future." Ning Wanjun said, "Do you still think that Jinxia City is the number one enemy of the Privy Council?"
Gan smiled bitterly and said, "Of course not. The top priority now is to prevent the outbreak of war and avoid unnecessary casualties. As for the relationship between the Privy Council and Jin Xia, cooperation and mutual assistance may be formed in the future."
"No, the Privy Council must be banned." Xia Fan interrupted him.
Hearing this, Yu Shuangxue's hand holding the pen couldn't help but tremble slightly.
"Do we have to do it to this extent?" Yu Linglong whispered.
"Well said, there is no such thing as a smile on one's face!" Shadow clenched his fist to show his support, "When dealing with an enemy, one should eradicate them at their roots. If they continue to fight against them, they will only lead to chaos!"
Qian's reaction was calmer than everyone expected, "Can I hear the reason?"
"The governance philosophy of Jinxia City is essentially different from that of the Privy Council. The two are incompatible and cannot coexist." Xia Fan said bluntly, "To put it bluntly, the Privy Council is an organization led by alchemists, and the philosophy it follows is that alchemists should be given priority. The cultivation of those who sense Qi is regarded as a top priority. But for Jinxia, those who sense Qi should not be treated differently from ordinary people. The leader can be an alchemist or an ordinary person without the ability to sense Qi."
Qian fell into silence for a moment.
Xia Fan continued, "As long as the Privy Council Office still exists, it will hinder Jinxia's policy promotion. If the Privy Council Office improves and tries to move closer to Jinxia, it will be two parallel administrative centers, which will also weaken Jinxia's strength. In the end, After all, a war is inevitable. What’s more, this system has lasted for hundreds of years. As the saying goes, it’s time to completely overhaul the system if it cannot be broken or established.”
"So that's what you think?" After a long time, Gan sighed, "I heard from Yu Linglong that a large number of awakened people have appeared in Jinxia Academy."
"She didn't lie to you. This is actually beyond my expectation." Xia Fan admitted, "However, these children will still complete their studies according to the arrangements of the Secretariat, instead of bringing them together to form a specialized department. To manage. As for what they want to do in the future, it is up to them."
Jinxia has irreplaceable benefits.
It was a free city.
What the other party said suddenly echoed in Yu Shuangxue's mind.
For some reason, his vision was suddenly covered with a layer of mist.
She quickly pretended to be casual and blinked, but her emotions were rising and falling and it was hard to calm down.
Yes, she and Yuyi did live in completely different worlds. The people they usually came into contact with and the words they talked about were not related in any way.
But things are different now.
The words I heard from Xia Fan were now repeated in front of Yuyi.
At least at this moment, even the superior Yuyi was in the same world as her.
"Ke Qiguo's Privy Council is not a separate institution, it is part of Qixing." There was a hint of worry in Qian's tone, "If you plan to completely abolish the Privy Council, Qixing will probably not stay out of it."
