…
"When was this letter delivered to Shenzhou?" Xia Fan looked at the messenger solemnly after reading the entire letter.
"Sir, it was about three days ago." The man replied.
"What about before that? Did the holder of this letter mention when the client gave the letter to him?"
"This... subordinate doesn't know."
"What's wrong?" Ning Wanjun also noticed his strangeness, "Is there something wrong with Luo Qingqing?"
"Not yet, but judging from the content of the letter, we will be the ones in trouble." Xia Fan held the wooden ring in his hand - if what Luo Qingqing said is true, it means that now, in addition to Qixing and Xie Sui, There's a new threat. Moreover, this kind of threat can turn the most trusted person into a deadly enemy in an instant, which is absolutely a devastating blow to a society that relies on interpersonal relationships to operate.
In addition, the second half of Luo Qingqing's words became extremely sloppy, probably added temporarily, but the content is equally shocking, and at first glance it seems like a fantasy. If it were other people, they might be 100% convinced and 90% doubtful, but Xia Fan was at least 50% convinced, for no other reason than that he had witnessed the great demon being swallowed up by the rift in Azure Castle, as well as the strange space behind the rift.
There he encounters an ugly monster that resembles a humanoid.
The latter did seem to be isolated by something, and could never get closer to him.
The same goes for when fighting Anjia Onmyoji.
Before the demon died, a crack appeared in the sky above the Great Wilderness.
If we regard the back of the gap as another world, it can be consistent with the Black Gate Sect's statement. The only problem is that he is the only one who has the memory of this scene. Both Li and Taksis were with him. Fighting, but no one was impressed by what he said. If they couldn't even see them, how did the Black Gate Cult realize that the world was protected
"Call Mo Yun and the people from the Privy Council," Xia Fan said to the princess, "let's talk somewhere else."
…
"Hey kid, I heard that you stayed all night in Her Royal Highness's palace last night..." In the conference room of the villa, Qian leaned sideways next to Xia Fan and said furtively, "Is it true?"
"You can't lie... but it's actually not what you think." The latter replied in a low voice.
"I understand, I understand everything." Qian patted him on the shoulder, "What a good boy, he has made a difference, unlike several other core members who are still a lot older -"
He suddenly closed his mouth mid-sentence.
Because Mo Yun and Yan Qing opposite him cast cold glances at the same time, and those looks could almost kill someone.
Even Yu Yi obediently returned to his right position.
"There's nothing special about this ring." Mo Yun put down the ring in his hand and looked at Ning Wanjun, who was in the first seat. The princess was like an outsider at the moment, looking at her with a smile, as if she was completely unaffected by the rumors. This made her feel a little relieved, but also a little confused. After all, the princess was not like this on weekdays. "The wood is peach wood, which is common in the south, but it's not a big problem to replace it with other substrates. The carvings on it are improved from the sprouting technique in Dui Shu, so it's not difficult to reproduce. In addition, the elf's Xinxing Technique is just right It’s Dui Shu, so the machine-building bureau can be produced quickly. The key is... can it really distinguish the evil infection that Master Xia mentioned?"
This is also the question of most people present.
In the impression of senior officials, the Black Gate Sect is definitely synonymous with a terrorist organization and the embodiment of King Yong's cruelty and cruelty. Any evil man-made evil spirits are inseparable from them. It would be perfectly reasonable for such a surviving organization to spread infection, but according to Luo Qingqing, they seemed to be fighting evil spirits and trying to eliminate the threat of infection, which was incredible.
"Unless Hei Menqian predicted Luo Qingqing's identity in advance and expected that she would write to Jin Xia." Ning Wanjun said, "My intuition tells me that it is impossible for the other party to do this. What's more, the technique itself has no It’s harmful, even if it’s activated, it doesn’t matter.”
"Anyway, let's try to imitate a few first." Xia Fan decided, "I will take care of the first one."
"After that, will all those who sense Qi have to wear one?"
"All the Qi Sensers in Jinxia City have been registered. If there are so many rings that are too late to be produced, you can just test them without wearing them."
Mo Yun nodded and said it was okay.
"Another piece of information is the world's barrier." Xia Fan asked in a deep voice, "Did Ning Qianshi really not mention this to you?"
"Absolutely not." Qian said decisively, "Although I rarely cared about the chores of the Privy Council at that time, I was basically aware of major events involving the movements of the alchemists and the plans of the general office. The second prince did not live in the Privy Council from the beginning. You are in a high position, even if you want to hide the news from Qixing, it is impossible to do so."
"I guess that only the Seven-Star Envoy is qualified to reveal this matter, but the Tianshu Envoy of Qi State is an exception." Yan Qing pondered for a long time and said, "The Seven-Star Mansion has not wanted He'er to serve as the Tianshu Envoy for a long time. position."
Xia Fan couldn't help but rub his forehead, "It would be great if there was a way to spy inside Qixing."
Nowadays, Jinxia City has collected a lot of information, and its horizons are much wider than before, but these are not enough to piece together a complete picture of the world. Coupled with the rumors that the Holy Grail is about to appear in the West Pole, the Black Sect's actions here, and the further threat from the Seven Stars, the entire continent feels like it is in a state of turmoil.
"If this letter was sent a month ago, then the Black Gate Sect's team should be near the Ganshen border now." Li shook his ears and said, "How about we take the initiative to contact each other - I feel that these people are more The Seven Star Privy Council is easier to deal with. Instead of getting information from the Xu State General Office, it is better to go directly to the Lord Shengtian to ask about the situation."
There was a brief silence at this suggestion.
But soon, Qian expressed his agreement, "Miss Li said it well, I also think that the Black Sect cannot be allowed to act wantonly. Since Miss Luo mentioned in the letter that they are very different from what they looked like in the impression, then We can just come to them directly, and we can also use Ganzhou as the first area to recover. If we find out that they have a plot, don’t wait for them to go deep into the mountains, just destroy them on the spot.”
Yan Qing also quickly sided with Li.
Regarding the views of the Black Gate Sect, the former core members of the Privy Council still maintained a high degree of vigilance and distrust.
But doing so can indeed merge with Jin Xia's unified plan, thus avoiding the problem of troop division.
As for whether to swallow Ganzhou first or Liuzhou or Qingzhou, it doesn't make much difference to Jinxia.
The wealth of Liu and Qing will make it more difficult for the princess to win people's hearts.
Ganzhou is barren to the point of being barren, but its mineral resources are very rich because it is backed by mountains, and its development prospects are not bad.
Ning Wanjun and Xia Fan looked at each other and had basically made up their minds.
"In this case, let the reconnaissance troops enter Ganzhou first and inquire about the movements of the Black Sect." The princess said calmly, "We must not only prevent them from disrupting Ganzhou, but also ensure the safety of the tens of thousands of relocated people. .”
"Let me go." Li volunteered, "I know a caravan that happens to be active around Ganshen. Maybe I can get some information Jinxia needs. In addition, Wu Lie trusts me more than others. ."
"Then I'll leave it to you." Ning Wanjun happily agreed.
