Heavenly Dao Formula Chapter 319: Aftermath (Part 2)
319
In fact, there is more than one doubt.
For example, the Privy Council carefully searched the drains in the imperial palace, not only did not find the gunpowder residue, even a trace of the magical spell could not be sensed.
This is really a bit of subversion of common sense. Using magic to create such a big movement, the surrounding Qi will definitely show a slight imbalance. Based on these details, it is possible to infer the type of the spell used by the opponent and the location of the cast. But the alchemist had been busy for a long time and couldn't determine the source, which was very incredible.
It is highly probable that the explosion is not caused by alchemy, but a conventional method that ordinary people can achieve.
The problem is that there is nothing but water from the drain. What can be done to trigger a raging fire that can open the streets?
If you don't know the facts, you can't remedy it. If you can't remedy it, it means that if the other party comes back next time, they can try the trick again.
This is a result that the Privy Council cannot tolerate.
They are even considering completely blocking the underground channels in the city and constructing new artificial rivers to discharge sewage.
For example, when Xia Fan and others were in the prison, some jailers mentioned that he had a clear understanding of the movement of the guards outside, and the reason seemed to be that someone provided him with information elsewhere.
Providing information is not the point, the point is how to provide it. According to the jailer, it was a woman, and the voice could be transmitted directly to the prison, which sounded like a real-time conversation.
Efficient long-distance communication is definitely something the military has been dreaming about for a long time. The Privy Council also knew one or two techniques for long-distance communication, but their use was very limited, far from Xia Fan's.
Afterwards, they also found the hiding place at the top of the pagoda on Tianfu Street based on this little clue. There were indeed signs of personnel activity at the scene, and two long iron poles were left, but... that was all. No one can explain how these iron rods are related to the magic. The only thing that can prove is that Xia Fan robbed Yan Qing not on impulse, but an action after careful planning.
These misty information made Ning Qianshi a headache. He didn't sleep for a few days, largely because of the difficulty of investigating.
If the other party is a listener, then a series of questions can be considered as a reasonable explanation.
"It's not just Xia Fan." Gan continued, "The investigators have confirmed that there were four people who fled at the scene. In addition to Kaiyan Qing and Olena, there was also a woman who had served in the Privy Council. Luo's Luo is gentle. And the flying blade she uses is also unprecedented, in my judgment...It is very likely to be Xianshu."
"So my sister has two listeners at once?" Ning Qianshi couldn't help clenching his fists, "This news must not be spread, especially if Qixing cannot be known, otherwise..."
"I know." Gan sighed. The listener is a stranger, the lucky one among the alchemists. According to legend, they also have a certain connection with the "Tian Dao", allowing such people to stay outside the Privy Council. , Is definitely a huge negligence of those in power. "It's just that I heard that Luo Fei empress...No, now she's the emperor concubine, making a lot of trouble in the palace?"
When Luo Yufei was mentioned, Ning Qianshi's expression became a little cold. It can be said that her behavior was the main reason for Luo Qing's drastic changes. Of course, if Xia Fan didn't step in, he would thank the other party for creating a listener for the Privy Council, but Luo Qing and Xia Fan colluded together, and the situation was completely reversed.
As for Ning Chunan's death, he didn't care at all. Ning Qianshi knew all the scandalous things the fourth brother had committed. If the Privy Council knows the news of Luo's light awakening first, then these four princes are nothing more than a chess piece in their hands that can be used to win hearts and minds.
"I will let Ning Weiyuan send her to Lenggong to stay awake. It's the fact that she raises the alchemist privately. You can check it out." Ning Qianshi said coldly, "There is an alchemist who she has contacted privately. , Get rid of it together."
Gan lowered his head and looked at his palm, with a wry smile, "It seems that the dispute is about to begin again."
"For the new era created by the Seven Stars, those alchemists who are immersed in the past will only become our obstacles." Ning Qianshi looked at him, "You should be able to understand this."
After a moment of silence, Yui nodded, "Leave it to me."
Just as Gan walked to the door of the greenhouse, Ning Qianshi stopped him again.
"Baizhan and Yu Linglong...how are they recovering?"
Yu Linglong was found to have fainted in the jail, with a pierced wound on her shoulder, which should have been caused by Luo Qingqing. Although she went to the jail and saw Yan Qing's irregularities in private, it was no longer suitable to care about such minor issues at this time.
Baizhan’s injuries were much heavier. Although Qian completely pressed Baizhan under his body at the time, he could not completely isolate the lightning. When he was sent to the hospital, he was half-scorched and unconscious.
Ghan ate the most lightning strikes, but with his spell regeneration ability, he became the fastest recovering one. Almost as soon as the thunderstorm stopped, he was already able to find survivors in a messy prison compound.
"That kid Linglong is fine. I went to the brothel yesterday to hang out. Mainly Baizhan..." He muttered, "According to the medical alchemist, death will not die, but there may be something left on his face. Permanent scar. This should be a big blow to the layman on the cloud."
Ning Qianshi nodded, "It's okay. You can accompany him when you have time... Among the core members, he can only listen to you a little bit."
"Not necessarily. Actually, this man has a tight heart." He smiled dryly, "But since your Royal Highness spoke, I will try."
The door closed, and the second prince exhaled a deep breath.
He got up and walked to the window, looking at the gray sky, a little lost in thought.
It's strange to say that since the thunder and lightning passed that day, the sunny days in Shangyuan City have never appeared again, and the wind in the evening has become stronger.
"You are tired." A childish voice suddenly came from behind.
He turned his head, He'er did not know when he had come behind him.
"You don't have to work so hard, take a break occasionally, Tianshu will not blame you on your lord."
"Do you know it again?"
"He'er knows, that's what she told me."
Ning Qianshi laughed~IndoMTL.com~ He lifted her up with both hands and put her on the edge of the window, "I have no magic skills, and I am not favored by God like a listener. What I know is nothing more than that. Planning and a little bit of skill, so it doesn’t matter if you are tired. As the saying goes, diligence can make up for your weakness, but in fact, diligence can only make yourself look a little more useful."
"How come, without you, the Privy Council would have collapsed during the Wanjing Tower Incident."
"Did she even tell you this?"
"Well," Heer replied vigorously, "She also said, thank you."
Ning Qianshi slowly closed her eyes...this sentence is enough.
"Huh?" The little girl suddenly lay in front of the window, "It looks like it's snowing!"
He heard the sound and saw that, sure enough, there were more white spots in the gray sky. They drifted towards the palace square along the wind, just like the blanks on the splash-ink painting.
Ning Qianshi opened the window, and a cool breeze immersed in the heart and lungs suddenly poured into the greenhouse, bringing in the snow-white ice crystals.
Indeed, it's snowing.
This is also the first winter snow in Gyeonggi.
After that, the snow season will continue in the coming spring, and traffic between the north and the south will be interrupted.
Looking at the snow scene in front of him, the second prince thought of Xia Fan unconsciously.
After so many days, he should have left the boundary of Gyeonggi and rushed all the way to Shenzhou on an unremarkable trail.
I wonder if he will meet this first snow?
If delaying time was part of his plan, then he did succeed.
But as long as Jinxia City is still there, he can't hide forever, even with Ning Wanjun's shelter!
Ning Qianshi stretched out his hand to hold a piece of snow slowly drifting down, and then squeezed his five fingers firmly--
No one can spend the rest of his life after playing around the Privy Council.
He will pay the price sooner or later.
