Heavenly Dao Formula

Chapter 320 Aftermath (Part 2)

In fact, there are far more than one doubts.

For example, the Privy Council carefully searched the drains in the palace, not only did not find any gunpowder residue, but even a trace of spells could not be sensed.

This is really a bit of a reversal of common sense. Using magic to create such a big movement, the surrounding Qi will definitely show a little imbalance. Based on these details, the type of magic used by the opponent and the location where it is cast can be deduced. But the alchemist was busy for a long time, but he couldn't determine the source, which is very incredible.

It has a high probability that the explosion is not caused by alchemy, but a conventional method that ordinary people can achieve.

The problem was that there was nothing in the drains but water, so what could be done to start a fire that would blow up the streets?

If you can't find out the facts, you can't remedy it. If you can't remedy it, it means that if the other party comes again next time, you can repeat the trick again.

This is a result that the Privy Council cannot tolerate.

They are even considering completely blocking the underground canals in the city and building new artificial rivers to discharge sewage.

Another example is that when Xia Fan and others were working in the prison, a jailer mentioned that he had a clear picture of the transfer of the guards outside. 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 into the prison, which sounded like a real-time conversation.

Long-distance and efficient communication is definitely something that the army has dreamed of for a long time. The Privy Council also knows one or two spells that can communicate over long distances, but their use is very limited, far from Xia Fan's.

After that, 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 activities at the scene, and two long iron poles were left behind, but... that's all. No one could explain the relationship between these iron rods and the technique. The only thing that can be proved is that Xia Fan's robbery of Yan Qing was not impulsive, but an action after careful planning.

These misty information gave Ning Qianshi a headache. He didn't sleep for several days, largely because the investigation was difficult.

If the other party is the listener, then a series of questions can be regarded as a reasonable explanation.

"It's not just Xia Fan." Qian continued, "Investigators have confirmed that there are four people who escaped from the scene, besides Yan Qing and Olina, there is also a woman whose identity is Luo Qing who once served in the Privy Council. Light. And the flying blade she used is also unprecedented, based on my judgment...it is very likely to be a fairy technique."

"So my younger sister has two listeners at once?" Ning Qianshi couldn't help clenching his fists, "This news must not be spread outside, especially Qixing must not know, otherwise..."

"I know." Qian sighed, the listeners were of a different kind, they were the lucky ones favored by the alchemists. According to legend, they also had a certain connection with the "Day of Heaven". A colossal dereliction of duty by those in power. "It's just that I heard that Concubine Luo... No, she's the Empress Dowager now, making a lot of trouble in the palace?"

When Luo Yufei was mentioned, Ning Qianshi's face became a little colder. It can be said that her behavior was the main reason for Luo Weiqing's drastic change. Of course, if Xia Fan hadn't stepped in, he would have thanked the other party for creating a listener for the Privy Council, but when Luo Qingwei and Xia Fan colluded, the situation was completely reversed.

As for Ning Chunan's death, he didn't care at all. Ning Qianshi is basically aware of the many scandals committed by the fourth brother. If the Privy Council knows the news of Luo Weiwei's awakening first, then the four princes are just pawns in their hands that can be used to win people's hearts.

"I'll ask Ning Weiyuan to send her to the Lenggong Palace to wake up. But she can investigate the matter of raising alchemists privately." Ning Qianshi said coldly, "The alchemists who have been in contact with her in private should be together with her." Get rid of it."

Gan looked down at his palm, with a wry smile on his face, "It seems that the dispute is about to start again."

"For the new era created by 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 truth."

After a moment of silence, Yuyi nodded, "Leave it to me."

Just as Qian walked to the door of the greenhouse, Ning Qianshi stopped him again.

"Baizhan and Yu Linglong... how are they recovering?"

Yu Linglong was found fainted in the prison with a punctured wound on her shoulder, which should have been caused by Luo Qingqing. Although she went to the prison to privately see that Yan Qing was a bit unruly, but it was no longer suitable to care about such small issues at this time.

Bai Zhan's injury was much more serious, even though Gan completely pressed Bai Zhan under him at that time, he couldn't completely isolate the thunder and lightning. When he was sent to Tai Hospital, half of him was charred and unconscious.

Gan suffered the most lightning strikes, but with the regeneration ability of spells, he became the one who recovered the fastest. Almost as soon as the thunderstorm stopped, he was already able to look for survivors in the messy prison compound.

"That boy Linglong is fine. He went to the brothel yesterday. The main reason is Baizhan..." Gan pondered, "According to the alchemist who gave the treatment, you won't die, but there may be permanent scars on your face .This should be a big blow to Layman Yunshang."

Ning Qianshi nodded, "As long as you have nothing to do. You can accompany him when you have time... Among the core members, he is the only one who can listen to what you say."

"Not necessarily, in fact, this person has a hard heart." He smiled dryly, "But since His Highness has opened his mouth, I will try."

The door closed, and the second prince let out a deep breath.

He got up and walked to the window, looking at the gray sky, feeling a little lost for a while.

Strange to say, since the day of lightning and thunder, there has never been a sunny day in Shangyuan City, and the wind has become stronger at night.

"You're tired." A childish voice suddenly came from behind.

He turned his head, and He'er had come behind him at some point.

"You don't need to work so hard, take a break once in a while, Master Tianshu will not blame you."

"You know again?"

"He'er knows, that's what she told me."

Ning Qianshi smiled, lifted her up with both hands, and put her on the edge of the window, "I don't have any magic skills, and I am not blessed by heaven like a listener. What I know is nothing more than planning and a little tricks, so I am tired. It doesn't matter if you are a little bit. As the saying goes, hard work can make up for one's weakness, but in fact hard work can only make you look a little bit more useful."

"How could it be? If it weren't for you to unite people's hearts, the Privy Council would have collapsed during the Wanjinglou incident."

"Did she even tell you that?"

"Yes," He'er replied vigorously, "She also said, thank you."

Ning Qianshi slowly closed his eyes... these words are enough.

"Huh?" The little girl suddenly lay down in front of the window, "It seems to be snowing!"

He heard the sound and looked, sure enough, there were some white spots in the gray sky, and they floated towards the Palace Square along the wind, like blank spaces on a splash-ink painting.

Ning Qianshi opened the window, and a gust of cool wind soaked into the heart and lungs rushed into the conservatory, bringing in those snow-white ice crystals.

Indeed, it snowed.

This is also the first winter snow in Gyeonggi.

After that, the snow season will continue until next spring, and the traffic between the north and the south will also be interrupted.

Looking at the snow scene flying in front of him, the second prince unconsciously thought of Xia Fan.

After so many days, he should have left the boundary of Gyeonggi and ran all the way to Shenzhou on an inconspicuous trail.

I wonder if he will encounter this first snow?

If procrastination was part of his plan, he succeeded.

But as long as Jinxia City is still there, it is impossible for him to hide forever, even with Ning Wanjun's protection!

Ning Qianshi stretched out his hand to hold a snowflake that was slowly falling, and then squeezed his five fingers tightly——

No one can live out the rest of their lives after playing tricks on the Privy Council.

This price, he will pay back sooner or later.
