Heavenly Dao Formula

Shangyuan City, the Imperial Palace.

Compared with the Hall of Supreme Harmony, which symbolizes the center of power, Ning Qianshi still prefers to stay in the greenhouse by the square to handle government affairs. Through the glazed windows, one can have a panoramic view of the red-tiled hall, the white jade square and the high palace walls—if it was just a psychological symbol before, giving him the feeling of looking at the whole situation, then now it seems to be a fact.

As long as he hooks his fingers, he can immediately know the big and small things happening in the palace.

"How is brother doing recently?" Ning Qianshi flipped through the information gathered by the recording department, and casually asked Dong Mao, who was in charge of the recording department—since the imperial court was replaced, all the government's intelligence agencies had been handed over to Dong Bairen. hands.

"Returning to Your Highness, he has performed the role of emperor very well." The latter replied succinctly.

"Really?" Ning Qianshi smiled, "I'm still worried that he will be devastated. Since he is willing to cooperate with this scene, it is naturally the best result."

The imperial court still exists, and the six ministries have not been dismantled, but from the Gyeonggi generals to the local chief officials, they have been gradually replaced by personnel trained by the Privy Council. Those ministers still seem to be sitting in their original positions, but there is nothing under them. one slice.

It is this kind of near-calm transfer of power that can minimize the price paid by the Privy Council.

"People who are passionate about power, even if they know it's a drama, they will probably be immersed in it." Dong Mao said with emotion.

Ning Qianshi put down the booklet in his hand and looked up at Dong Mao.

The officer in the recording department was startled, and quickly leaned over and cupped his hands and said, "Your official made a slip of the tongue."

"No, what you said is very reasonable, but Ning Wei is far from a person who is only satisfied with this little power. If you feel contemptuous of him because of this, there may be omissions in the surveillance."

"The officer understands."

"Is there anything else that needs to be reported specifically?"

Dong Mao considered carefully, "The Supreme Emperor... has been going out very frequently recently."

"Father?" Ning Qianshi raised his eyebrows, "Where did he go?"

"Xiyuan cemetery. It's next to the royal cemetery."

Ning Qianshi frowned slightly, and wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it in the end, "Forget it, let him go. There is no need to report this matter to me in the future."

"yes."

"Your Highness—" At this time, a guard walked into the conservatory, saluted and reported, "Fei Nian is coming to Beijing, please meet me."

"Fei Nian?" Ning Qianshi stood up unexpectedly, "He's back?"

"Shouldn't Master Fei be in charge of the overall situation in Huiyang City?" Dong Mao asked in surprise.

"Even if he is going to leave the front line, he should at least inform me in advance." Ning Qianshi showed some displeasure, but quickly covered it up, "Bring him here, he should have important information to report."

A quarter of an hour later, the disheveled Fei Nian was brought into the greenhouse, and fell to his knees before taking two steps, "Your Highness, I... am ashamed of your expectations!"

"What's going on?" Ning Qianshi suddenly had a bad feeling.

"I set up the frontline camp in Huiyang Chengzhou Mufu, but the enemy succeeded in a surprise attack, the information placed in the mansion was burned, and the personnel suffered heavy casualties..." Fei Nian said with difficulty. Only a dozen or so survived, and my two uncles... were also killed in this attack!"

"How could this happen!" The second prince was shocked, "Let's not talk about how your position is controlled by them. It is hundreds of miles from Shenzhou to Liuzhou. It is impossible for the West Dragon Demon to fly all the way in one go. Don't you? Were there no sentries along the way?"

What's more, even if the timing of Olina's discovery is missed, her speed is far from being able to "sneak attack" unless the enemy moves at night all the time. But judging from the number of casualties, it was obvious that they were attacked during the day, otherwise there would not be such serious consequences.

The information library can be rebuilt after being burned, but the loss of manpower is irreparable for a while. These hundreds of recorders are all experienced veterans. Such a bad news is like a heavy blow to the Privy Council.

"It's not Olina Okan, but a real dragon." Fei Nian lowered his head a little more, "It took less than ten breaths from the time it appeared from the clouds to the time it hit the ground. The mansion guards We did find the other party, but it was too late to evacuate all the staff..."

"A real dragon?" Ning Qianshi was stunned again, "The one mentioned in the Shenjin Weekly News?"

"Yes, I originally thought that the real dragon was just a fabrication by Ning Wanjun to deceive the people under his rule. I didn't expect that the rumored monster really existed and would appear in Jinxia City!" Fei Nian revealed. A look of shame, as if blaming himself for his carelessness. "Not only that, the infiltration plan in the early stage has also suffered serious setbacks - the princess not only has the ability of long-distance instant communication, but also uses a lot of monsters to track spies. The animals in the city are the enemy's eyeliner, and the people we send are impossible to guard against. , Several contact points were intercepted, and the news that the camp is located in Huiyang City should also be leaked from here."

This series of bad news made Ning Qianshi look gloomy.

He only received the first batch of information from Huiyang City a week ago, but the situation took a turn for the worse a week later, and he couldn't even put all the blame on Fei Nian.

The enemy has long-distance instant communication means, and the speed of processing intelligence and taking responses is undoubtedly far faster than that of the Privy Council. Whether it is to set off a riot or create a food shortage, it will take time to brew. If Jinxia City can instantly know the big and small things happening in the territory, then it is obviously difficult to obtain the expected returns from the early strategic investment.

"You came back specially to escort the information?"

"Yes. In addition to the above news, I also found that Jinxia City is suspected of using evil techniques, and Princess Guangping has openly publicized war with the Privy Council in the fief."

"Not only demons, but also evil spirits?" Ning Qianshi asked sharply.

"There are indeed spies who reported this way." Fei Nian replied in a deep voice, "The island country in the East China Sea has established contact with Jinxia a long time ago. I am afraid that this matter has something to do with the An family."

"Third sister, third sister...why do you have to do this!" The second prince slammed his fist on the table.

"I have dispatched additional staff to convey some of this information... But it seems that I arrived at Shangyuan one step faster than them." Fei Nian raised his hand and bowed, "Your Highness, the attack on the frontline garrison and leaving without authorization are both I am alone at fault, and I am willing to accept any punishment!"

Ning Qianshi stared at him for a long time before holding his hands and helping him up, "You are indeed at fault, but it is not to the extent of punishment. What's more, the frontline camp was hit, and it doesn't make much sense for you to stay there. This war has just begun, so you should be ready to redeem yourself."

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your trust!" Fei Nian shook twice, almost as if she was about to collapse.

He was able to arrive at Shangyuan faster than the messenger, and he must have been traveling day and night at full speed, without even resting for a moment.

"Go down and have a good rest first, and I will take a closer look at the information you bring back." Ning Qianshi patted the other party on the shoulder.

"Yes," Fei Nian paused, and said again, "Your Highness, although this remark is a bit out of line, I still dare to say it. Jinxia City is growing rapidly, and the role of listeners is even more amazing than expected. Conventional restrictions The means may not be effective, and only by gathering all the strength to make a final decision can the princess' ambition be curbed."

"I know." Ning Qianshi rubbed his forehead, although the time is still quite hasty, but the matter has come to this point, there is nothing worth hesitating, "It is inevitable to mobilize the army to encircle and suppress."
