Heavenly Dao Formula Chapter 260: The highly anticipated

Now that the general direction has been finalized, the next step is to make preparations.

After getting the affirmative reply, the messenger said that it would be okay to wait a few days. After all, this was a long journey, and it was normal to hand over the affairs at hand.

Xia Fan asked Li, Luo Qingqing, Fang Xiandao and others successively. Considering that there are still certain risks in this trip, it is still based on personal wishes. The fox demon didn't hesitate at all. When he learned that he might come into contact with the most secret clues of the Privy Council, even his fluffy tail was erected, and he looked full of energy.

Luo Qing also agreed. After all, if she hadn't come to Jinxia at the beginning, she would have been fighting alone in Shangyuan City now. As for Xia Fan's advice not to take risks before the situation is cleared, she also agreed.

Fang Xiandao seemed very reluctant, thinking that the Privy Council had forced Fang's family to this point, and he didn't want to talk to these people anymore. The last thing that changed his mind was a thousand words-the living dead believed that the current situation is indeed weird, and the worst situation is ignorance of the planner's intentions. If he can go inside the headquarters, this is a risk. acceptable.

And Qianzhi also followed up with the knife, saying that the young master was just being lazy and it was troublesome, and he complained about the two old ladies of the Fang family outside.

As a result, after some arguments, Fang Xiandao was defeated in the face of Qianyan and Qianzhi's combined attack. Therefore, the Fang family provided the most manpower. In addition to Fang Xiandao and Fang Yanni, Qianzhi and Qianyan would also accompany them.

Five days later, the group officially set off and took a carriage to Shangyuan City.

……

"Master Xia, you really have a lot of companions." Along the way, Xin Wu was by Xia Fan's side. The two rode horses to the front of the team, followed by three four-wheeled carriages. "Looking at their age, should they all pass the exam?"

"On the contrary." Xia Fan deliberately replied in a casual tone, "Those alchemists who have passed the examinations thought that I was promoted so quickly only after climbing to the princess, and looked into my eyes. They were all with contempt, but I didn't dare to say it because of their status. I didn't bother to pay attention to them, so I found a group of impressed people who hadn't participated in the examination, and it was much easier to use than the alchemist."

If it is a regular alchemist, the Privy Council will definitely keep a record. Forging an identity is much more difficult. If it is a casual repair, the other party can't find it even if it wants to.

"It turns out that there is still...this." The messenger paused before connecting, "But this is also human nature, and Master Xia doesn't need to care about it. If it's me before, I think I will know it. Unwilling."

"The previous you?"

"Yes." Xin Wu slightly lowered his head. "The reason I wanted to be an alchemist was simple. It was for official positions and privileges. Whether it's evil or other people, it's just a stepping stone for me to climb. In this way, I will definitely feel jealous and resentful when someone reaches a high position with no effort."

"It wasn't until the adult gave me a hand that I got out of this muddy pool. He made me understand the unique duty and mission of the alchemist. For this inherent strength, I We should make full use of it later."

"Who is that adult?" Xia Fan asked curiously.

"It is the second prince of today, His Royal Highness Ning Qianshi." Xin Wu smiled, "Unfortunately he is not in Shangyuan City now, otherwise he will have a very happy conversation with you. I have the feeling that you are him. The kind of people who need it. Although I want to do so, my ability is limited after all."

Xia Fan twitched the corner of his mouth secretly, it was still avoided.

"His Royal Highness Ning...How did you change your initial thoughts?"

"He showed me something, something that is beyond power and money, and you will definitely see it later." The messenger said in a frank tone, "Master Xia, please be a member of the Privy Council. Core members."

Xia Fan was taken aback for a moment, "Why?"

"Anyone who can be invited by the core is the most outstanding talent in the government. Only you can support a powerful privy government and protect the people of the world in the future crisis-ridden situation." Xin Wu's eyes are full. A feeling of trust.

Since this is the case, why did you allow the magistrate of Gaoshan County to commit such evil acts for more than ten years?

However, Xia Fan did not say this reply.

He knew that the other party could not give him an answer.

……

As everyone marched all the way to the northwest, the temperature gradually dropped.

When the convoy drove into the boundary of Gyeonggi a week later, Xia Fan found that her breath was able to burst into white air.

"The winters in previous years were even colder, and this year is already considered good." Xin Wu took the initiative to say when he saw his actions, "However, there is no shortage of everything in Shangyuan City, even if it is a snowy New Year. There are clothing shops that are open, but the price will be a bit more expensive than usual. If you want to add clothes, you can go there and have a look."

"Have you lived in Shangyuan for a long time?"

"It's been almost a decade. I was a candidate for the last two sessions. My hometown is in Qingshui Town. You must have never heard of it." Xin Wu replied, "It also belongs to the territory of Gyeonggi, where people dream of dreams. I want to move to Yuancheng."

Speaking, he suddenly pointed forward, "Look, Master Xia, there is the Shangyuan Dadu."

The first thing that came to Xia Fan’s eyes was still the towering and straight city wall--but compared to Jinxia City, this wall was obviously much more towering, and it looked like it was rising from a distance. The mountains are average.

There are more than ten miles away from the city wall, and dense houses and markets have appeared on both sides of the road. This is also a feature of classical cities: because the city wall is time-consuming and laborious to build, it is impossible to expand with the scale of the city. Therefore, when the land in the city is full, the remaining residential areas will extend to the outskirts. To judge whether a city is prosperous, it can be judged by the expansion of residential areas.

Apparently, Shangyuan City is far better than Jinxia City in terms of population.

"It deserves to be the capital of Daqi, it is indeed well-deserved~IndoMTL.com~ Xia Fan pretended to be surprised, "I'm afraid there are hundreds of thousands of people in this city? "

"If you count the surrounding residents, there is this number." Xin Wu stretched out five fingers.

Five hundred thousand, to be honest...this is definitely an astonishing number. "Compared to the capitals of other kingdoms?"

"Even in the six countries, Shangyuan is a veritable metropolis of Yongding city second only to Xu in scale." Xin Wu said proudly, "Of course this is normal, after all, Yongding was a city of Yongding a hundred years ago. Most of it."

As we approached the outer city gate, several roads gradually converged into a main road. There were obviously more horse-drawn carriages around, and the vehicles entering the city left a line nearly several hundred meters long.

"Recently, there has been a stricter investigation in the city. As you know, it has something to do with His Royal Highness." Xin Wu whispered, "The alchemist has certain privileges in the city. It doesn't matter where you go, but don't approach the palace alone. Nowadays. It is a special period, and the Privy Council does not want to conflict with the royal family."

Xia Fan nodded to show that he knew.

Then Xin Wu led the convoy to another small door, and after showing his identity to the guards, he took the shortcut and entered the city directly.
