The end of the Privy Council House represented the end of an era. At this point, the Qi State Affairs Bureau became the only ruling power in the mainland.
But that's not all. The joining of Yama Island, the Holy Wing Alliance and the Natantine State transformed the Qi State into a federal state, and its influence expanded dozens of times than before. From the East to the West, everyone knew the names of Ning Wanjun and Xia Fan. .
Those scattered small countries that were not included in the federation were also afraid that the Apocalypse Army's fleet would suddenly arrive at their doorstep, so they all chose to send envoys to make friends with Shangyuan City, placing themselves in the position of a tributary country in terms of etiquette and tribute.
For a time, the world seemed to be unified.
Another major event during the same period was the marriage between Queen Ning Wanjun and Xia Fan.
Although many people had long guessed that such a day would come, this marriage still exceeded their expectations. After the marriage, Xia Fan not only did not retreat to the second line and became the "consort" who gave up his power, but instead took charge of the court and led the army. Also included under his command. Ning Wanjun, on the other hand, appeared between the martial arts arena and the new machine-building bureau, almost indifferent to political affairs.
Such an abnormal situation surprised everyone.
There are even rumors that the two have no relationship at all, the marriage is just a cover, and Xia Fan has been planning this day for a long time.
As for the Apocalypse Army loyal to His Majesty, they had to choose to be patient due to the influx of a large number of Qi-sensers. After all, who knows now that all disciples who come out of the school can be regarded as Xia Fan's disciples. In an era when magical weapons are becoming more and more popular, this is undoubtedly the most powerful force in the world.
But as the saying goes, things must turn against each other when they are extreme. With Ning Wanjun's strength, how could she be willing to submit to others
Many people are speculating on when this marriage of forces will collapse. The seemingly huge dynasty may also fall apart in a very short period of time.
Some families have already begun to prepare for this in advance.
…
Shangyuan City, in the palace garden.
"I'll catch you when I count to three." Qianzhi closed his eyes and started counting, "Three, two..."
"one!"
The little girl turned around suddenly. The garden was empty. She first went around the rockeries and flowers where people are most often hidden, but found nothing.
But this is not difficult for Qian Zhi.
She put her hands on the ground and used the freezing technique - but the power of this technique was limited to a very low range, and could only form a thin layer of white frost on the ground. Although the effect is inconspicuous, such superb precision requires extremely strong spell-casting skills, and it may not be possible for other alchemists to achieve it. Under the cover of frost, a "road" with a slightly higher temperature emerges vaguely - it is the residual warmth left by the human body when it crawls over it. The change may only be a millimeter, but this difference can already be noticed by Qianzhi.
"Got you."
Qianzhi followed the path to the pond in front of the flowers, and suddenly thrust a hand into the water.
When she pulled back again, there was a doll wearing crotchless pants in her hand.
"Pfft." The latter's long-held breath was directly broken by this grab, and all the water in his mouth spat out on Qianzhi's face, "You're so shameless!"
"I don't."
"I promised you not to use your anger!"
"You are hiding under the water and can't see me. How can you say that I used my breath?"
"I can feel it!" the little guy said reluctantly. Mingming looks very young, only three or four years old at most, but his speech is extremely fluent.
"I don't think so. I have to provide evidence." Qian Zhili said confidently.
"Mom!" Seeing that he couldn't rely on the other party, the little guy directly asked his mother for help.
Li, who was sitting in the pavilion, just shook his ears lazily, "Qianzhi is right, you have to have evidence to prove that the other party used Qi. As for how to find it, I remember teaching you a lot of techniques."
"Eh?" The little guy was stunned, "But we agreed that we can't use our anger when we hide and seek..."
"Indeed. But if you catch the opponent and commit the first foul, doesn't that mean you didn't commit the foul?"
This logic was a bit convoluted for a doll wearing crotchless pants. He thought for a long time before he understood it, and then he was shocked by his mother's strong words.
For the first time, the little guy feels the complexity of the adult world.
However, humans are always the most adaptable creatures to the environment.
He soon launched a new round of challenges to Qianzhi.
"Is this really okay?" Xia Fan put down the book he was writing, "He is still just a child."
"A three-year-old fox demon can already look for food on his own. What does misunderstanding and sophistry have to do with each other?" Li continued to peel the grapes in his hands and replied disapprovingly, "Besides, this is your child too, don't you think so?" Have you been very honest since you were a child? Being able to put a monster into your bedroom during the military examination is so outrageous that it is rare in the world. Tell me, if the fox monster at that time was male, would you have carefully considered your actions? "
Uh, this...
Xia Fan was speechless.
In order to cover up his guilt, he turned his gaze back to the book and said, "I'm too lazy to argue with you. By then, this guy will have entered the rebellious stage early. Don't say I didn't warn you."
"Don't worry, no one knows how to educate future generations better than me." Li threw the grapes into his mouth, stretched out again, and enjoyed the short warm sunshine in the afternoon.
Three and a half years have passed since the founding of the People's Republic of China. Even for Xia Fan, these three years have been extremely busy. In addition to being responsible for the Great Migration Plan, he also often travels between the Six Nations and the West Pole to deal with some ethnic conflicts that only he can resolve. However, these three years have also been fruitful. The most important thing is having my own child.
At this moment, a shadow suddenly appeared in the sky.
I saw a dragon descending from the sky and landing steadily on a specially built stone platform in the north of the garden.
"Good afternoon." Olina greeted the two.
"Have you eaten?" Xia Fan waved his hand.
"Well, we ate at Sister Yu's house." She folded her wings and spoke with a particularly skillful Jinxia accent, "Where is Your Majesty?"
"It should be out soon." Xia Fan looked up at the sky and said.
As soon as she finished speaking, Ning Wanjun appeared at the main entrance of the garden, followed by Mo Yun, "I'm here, I shouldn't be late, right?"
"Speaking of which, do you have to test the Tianhe yourself?" Xia Fan curled his lips.
The so-called Tianhe is a new generation of cutting-edge magic weapon developed by the Mechanism and Construction Bureau. It is guided by Xun Shu and Kun Shu and can allow huge crane-shaped creations to fly into the sky. Call it an airplane. There is nothing aerodynamic about it from beginning to end. But it would be unfair to say it is not an airplane. After all, among the aircraft that appeared in the past, none weighed ten tons like Tianhe and could carry three to four people into the air.
When he was promoting the school, he used a propeller airplane model to attract the attention of the public. Eight years later, this vision is gradually becoming a reality. It's just that he didn't expect that the new flying magic weapon would take a completely different technical path. Where this line will eventually go is also unknown to Xia Fan.
"That's right, didn't we agree that you would take over this stall so that I can do what I want to do." Ning Wanjun walked over briskly, leaned over and touched Xia Fan's forehead lightly, and then patted her He patted his belly and said, "I know what you are worried about. Don't worry, it's only been a few months, so there won't be any hindrance."
When it comes to this, Xia Fan can only agree.
Yes, he has more than one child.
Soon, Ning Wanjun and Mo Yun climbed onto Olina's back and flew towards the experimental site of the New Mechanism Bureau.
