"I've calculated that this period of time is almost enough for them to react." Qian suddenly said, "Ning Qianshi lost contact, and the integration plan has been delayed in getting feedback. Those people will not be indifferent to this."
"Those people refer to..."
"Seven Star Privy Council Mansion." Weihuang replied.
Mo Yun's heart tightened, "Are you saying that this news was deliberately released by the alchemist of the Qixing Privy Council?"
"This is the most likely guess," Yan Qing nodded. "If they haven't noticed the situation in Shenzhou after a month and a half, it can only be said that there is a big problem with Qixing's intelligence network. Of course we can't rule it out. Fang Xiandao’s divination was wrong, but it wouldn’t be a bad thing to be more prepared for such a sensitive moment.”
"If it is the Qixing Privy Council, what they want to know most now is what is the situation inside Shenzhou and even Jinxia." Qian looked at Mo Yun, "And catching one or two alchemists sent by Jinxia will undoubtedly gain The most efficient way to get accurate answers.”
For those who come to eliminate evil spirits, this trip is equivalent to a carefully laid trap, so it is reflected in the hexagram and becomes a dangerous signal.
"Our plan is to use our tactics to counter-encircle possible threats." Yan Qing drove the chain in his hand and pointed at the Shenliu border on the map. "The exorcism team on the surface is still arranged as usual, led by Baihua Sword Duye Taki. Lead the team. Yu Linglong is responsible for secret surveillance. Gan and I bypass the border and go to the village from the Liuzhou side to outflank. In addition, the Privy Council needs the assistance of Penglai Dragon Chi to prevent the enemy from any possibility of escaping. In addition, I hope An Shen The city's garrison can also dispatch a force of 500 people as a reserve team to cooperate with our actions. If the guess is correct, the primary purpose of this mission is to capture the Seven-Star Alchemist, and the second is to eliminate the evil spirits."
There is no doubt that today's Privy Council is the most professional intelligence operations department in the entire Qi Kingdom.
They had already prepared the entire response plan before the graduation ceremony.
Mo Yun didn't know much about combat, so she skipped all the details and asked Yan Qing directly, "What do I need to do?"
"According to the regulations of the Secretariat, transfers of Qingjian and above need to be recorded and reported to the Prime Minister or Her Royal Highness the Princess. In addition, you are the acting Prime Minister. Contacting Miss Chi and the Anshen City garrison requires your approval."
"I understand," Mo Yun took out his seal, "Just implement your plan."
…
When we returned to Fengyang Villa, it was almost dusk.
During the absence of the princess and Xia Fan, Mo Yun took on almost all the affairs of Jinxia City. Even though she was used to the busy work of the Mechanism Bureau, she felt an indescribable fatigue.
She walked into the depths of the villa's palace, passed through tight defenses, and came to Ning Wanjun's bedroom.
This place has been transformed by the Fang family into a cold storage suitable for storing ice coffins.
Seeing that the person coming was Mo Yun, the guard raised his hands in salute and opened the cold door.
Mo Yun put on his thick coat and slowly walked to the huge ice cube in the center of the room.
Through the clear ice crystals, Ning Wanjun's closed eyes were clearly visible.
The moment he saw the princess, Mo Yun felt a bit of the fatigue in his body disappear.
This may be the only reason why she can persist until now.
She rested her forehead on the ice and closed her eyes as usual - as if doing so would make the princess feel her presence beside her.
"I will guard this city for you... until you come back." Mo Yun whispered, "So you must not lose to the evil spirit."
When she felt helpless, it was the third princess who took her out of the quagmire of family oppression and gave her a stage to display her talents.
Now it's her turn to return the favor.
…
Facing the afterglow of the setting sun, Luo Qingqing finally saw the high walls of Qianren City.
It is the core of Youzhou and the place where the Luo family once took root. Among the prisoners from the coalition forces in various states, she also asked several soldiers from Youzhou to get news about the Luo Family Mansion. After all, after Ning Qianshi decided to cancel the system of families taking over Qi sensers, all the Fangshu families suffered a big blow. Especially the sect that was left behind after all the qi-sensing persons were taken away by the Privy Council. Since they are all ordinary people who cannot sense qi, it is not an exaggeration to describe their strength as plummeting.
As long as the power of the court is not damaged, no matter how the Luo family declines, they still have a lot of wealth, and they can live a life without worrying about food and clothing without relying on those who sense Qi. But the problem is that after Ning Qianshi's troubles, the imperial court has been divided and is not worthy of its name. As a result, the situation faced by aristocratic families who have only wealth but lack the ability to protect themselves has become different.
Luo Qingqing didn't have much affection for the Luo family. What she cared about was the library in the mansion.
After studying with Jinxia for half a year, she began to gradually understand the original meaning of order.
In Xia Fan's words, order is the embodiment of civilization.
The more advanced a civilization is, the more advanced its order will be. Generally speaking, good order can not only safeguard the interests of the vast majority of people, but also pay attention to the demands of the minority, but order itself is not a universal rule. In the final analysis, it is something determined by people. Without people's cooperation, no matter how perfect the order is, it will not play any role and may even become an obstacle.
It's like people can go out wearing clothes, but monkeys can't - to the monkey's point of view, clothes are unnecessary burdens and shackles that restrict movement.
In order to improve civilization, the knowledge and cognitive level of the ethnic group are always the most critical factors.
The Luo family's library is a treasure house that records knowledge. Although it cannot fill people's stomachs, it has a more important meaning than filling their stomachs.
If the library can be completely moved to Jinxia City, it will definitely be a great thing that will help the new order.
Unfortunately, she asked several soldiers but could not give an accurate answer. Some said that the Luo family had moved out of Qianren City, while others said that the Luo family had been exterminated by the Privy Council. This also made Luo Qingqing want to come to Youzhou to see it in person. Look at the idea.
Half a year ago, she would not have believed that she would value the library containing countless books more than going to Shangyuan City to seek revenge on Luo Yufei.
But the closer he got to the city wall, the more Luo Qingqing felt that something was not right.
There were almost no human activities on the official road, which seemed a bit deserted for a large capital city. There was a vague smell in the air, accompanied by an intermittent breeze, and the source was undoubtedly the direction of the city gate.
She took off her blindfold and tried to look at the city gate in the distance - in her blurry vision, she could only barely see the outline of the entrance and the dead branches floating above the high wall.
When did trees be planted on the top of Qianren City’s city wall? And the number seems to be no less than hundreds.
They swayed in the wind, as if they were welcoming Luo Qingqing's arrival.
