Heavenly Dao Formula

Chapter 319 Aftermath (Part 1)

...

This day is undoubtedly an exciting and unforgettable day for the residents of Shangyuan City.

No one expected that the crown prince himself would become an irrelevant matter on the day of the enthronement ceremony once every few decades.

Explosions, attacks on the city, thunder, and giant black beasts flying over the city walls, no matter which event is usually enough to arouse public discussion, let alone so many events occur at the same time.

Although the Privy Council tried its best to block the news, the matter spread too widely, and news spread in restaurants and teahouses one after another in the next few days.

Now everyone in Shangyuan City knows an alchemist named Xia Fan.

He has a strange life experience, outstanding talent, accompanied by fairies, and can drive the mount of a beast. If there is only one shortcoming of this person, it is that he likes to visit brothels.

"Is this a shortcoming? Doctor, then I don't agree with it." A guest put down the teacup in his hand, "You just said that he was favored by Princess Quang Binh and was highly valued by that highness. Didn't you say that he is young and rich? What is the disadvantage of such a person who likes to visit brothels?"

"This young man said it well, as long as it is a man, who can refuse the wind, flowers, snow, moon, and red apricots."

"Hey, guest officer, you don't know something." Dr. Cha waved his fan, "It's not a shortcoming to love to visit brothels, but if there are thousands of flowers in brothels and no leaves are on your body, that's a big shortcoming!"

"Oh? Can you elaborate on it?" Everyone suddenly became interested.

"Of course, it is rumored that this Xia Bairen visited all the famous brothels in Shangyuan in a few days, but no woman was able to stay with him, and he didn't take the initiative to pick anyone, but introduced him to them. Jinxia City is here. Originally, a guest like him, which girl didn't like it, which girl didn't like it, but in the end, the flowers drifted away, and the spring heart fell into the water. Isn't this too much?"

"Hmm... that sounds like a lot."

"No wonder it's a shortcoming, I can't bear it if it's me."

"Doctor, are you serious about this news?"

"Of course," the other party cleared his throat, "I'm talking about the inside information of Wushuang Pavilion. But... this lord is not really ruthless, and I still have a thought for the girls. I heard that as long as you are willing to Let go of everything in Gyeonggi, and follow Xia Bairen to Jinxia, ​​where food and housing are included, and you will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life!"

"Is there such a thing? Just give up everything in Gyeonggi, it doesn't sound so easy."

"That's right, it depends on personal choice."

"Ridiculous!" At this time, a man dressed as a scholar sitting in a corner of the teahouse suddenly said, "Why do you say that Xia Fan is a kind and righteous man who is capable of writing and martial arts? It is simply ridiculous! "

"Uh..." Dr. Cha was a little embarrassed for a while, and he couldn't refute the guest's face, so he asked kindly, "I wonder what the guest officer thinks?"

"He's a prisoner in the Privy Council!" the scholar said angrily, "This person not only endangered the enthronement ceremony, but also made troubles in Chengdong Prison. He is simply a lunatic! Heinous murderer! How can you treat this as if nothing happened, just talk about it?" Those romantic things?"

"Brother, what you say is going too far." Before Dr. Cha could speak, a guest beside him retorted, "Although he made a lot of noise, he didn't hurt an innocent person, right? Even the bandits in the mountains You will cut people down and cut off the goods. As for the loss of manpower in the Privy Council, that is also a matter among the alchemists, and your judgment is really harsh."

"That's right, he even blew up Baihu Street and picked the time when the worship team was not out. Is this what a lunatic would do? I hear your accent doesn't look like a local. You should be a candidate for the exam, right? Since you have free time , I suggest you read the book a few more times, instead of coming here to listen to everyone's nonsense."

Another guest was not so polite to this kind of interrupting behavior, "No matter what Xia Bairen did, it didn't affect you. If you hate him so much, maybe there was a festival before? But he is Bairen. Blade, there is a place where we can meet... Could it be that this brothel girl whom I love has been taken away by others?"

"Hahahaha..." Everyone couldn't help laughing out loud.

This was originally a joke, but the scholar's face changed instantly. His eyes were wide open, his neck turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his hands trembled slightly. He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he just slammed the table down, stood up and walked out of the teahouse without looking back.

"Hey, customer, you haven't paid the bill yet!" Xiaoer yelled.

The tea drinkers at the scene looked at each other in blank dismay, while the instigator touched his head, "Could it be... I really hit the mark?"

But this surprise didn't last long before it was broken by a burst of more joyful laughter.

The story returns to Xia Bairen.

And discussions like this can be seen everywhere in Shangyuan City, and even overshadowed the news that the emperor announced that the six kingdoms of the world would soon unite after he ascended the throne.

...

The Privy Council also launched an investigation and review of the matter.

Although Xia Fan's basic line had been roughly grasped at that time, and all relevant people had questioned him, there were still many strange and incomprehensible things in it.

For core members, failure is not terrible, the real terrible thing is that they cannot make up for their mistakes.

The investigation revealed that some things may have escaped the control of the Privy Council...

"Your Highness, the artisans have restored the objects used by Xia Fan." Gan walked into the greenhouse and put a metal object on the table.

Ning Qianshi pinched the bridge of his nose, and held the curled copper wire ring in his hand.

This action alone is exhausting.

Gan couldn't help but shift his gaze to the inkstone and pen stand, the ink in the inkstone had completely dried up, and the hanging brushes were even more torn apart. In the past, even in the busiest time, the second prince would paint a few strokes every day, but now he obviously hasn't painted for a long time.

"Your Highness, are you okay?" Gan slightly frowned.

"Don't worry, it's just that I haven't slept for a few days." Ning Qianshi took a deep breath, "The unity of the six kingdoms is only the initial purpose of the Privy Council. We still have a lot to do next, and I won't fall down first."

In his eyes, Qian seemed to see a flickering fire.

This also made Yuyi feel relieved.

The second prince might linger in the trough for a while, but this blow didn't make him down, and he would recover sooner or later.

"This thing doesn't seem to have anything to do with Lightning Strike Wood." Ning Qianshi broke the copper wire and looked at it. "Are you sure that the primer thrown by Xia Fan was a pure metal creation?"

"I can't guarantee whether there is a hidden secret inside it, but from the outside, the introduction does look like this."

"Already tested?"

"En." Qian sat down in front of him, "I selected ten alchemists of the Zhen genus in the mansion to test alchemy from streamer to thunder, and none of them succeeded."

"Then we can only rely on guessing." Ning Qianshi rubbed his forehead, "One is that this thing has another mystery, but we haven't discovered it yet. The second is that he has indeed mastered a method that the Privy Council does not know, and can use copper wire instead of lightning strikes." Mu Lai used the shock technique."

"Xia Fan's life is not complicated, and it is unlikely that this method was taught to him by others," Gan added.

"Indeed..." The second prince agreed, "In this way, there is a great possibility." He paused, "This person——is very likely to be the listener."
