Chapter 289 Visitors

"Okay, let's end the conversation here." Ning Qianshi clapped his hands and said, "You should be tired after not resting all night. Go back to your residence and have a good rest. When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne, this grand ceremony will also be held It’s a happy ending.”

He didn't want to let himself know more about the ancient tomb. Xia Fan realized that the importance of King Yong's tomb might be greater than the secret of Yong Dynasty itself.

"I have one last question. If I become a core member of the Privy Council, what will I need to do in the future?"

"It's not if," Ning Qianshi corrected, "you are already one of our recognized core members. As for what you want to do... The Seven Stars and Six Nations all have their own tasks, and you can choose the one you like to do. If you don't If you know what you are good at, you can also ask Miss He'er, she can help you figure out the best solution - in short, the main purpose of the Privy Council is to unify the six countries as soon as possible and fill the power gap of the family. "

"Hey kid, you haven't made up your mind to become one of us yet, have you?" Qian Lang laughed loudly, "Although the Six Kingdoms are big, the level of magic has declined instead of rising over the past hundred years, and the threats from overseas can be described as It’s getting bigger and bigger, you don’t want to see the mainland completely defeated, right?”

"That's definitely not what we want. It's just that... the changes are too fast and it's a little difficult to adapt."

"Really? Then I'll be relieved." Qian patted his shoulder, "Boy, I'm optimistic about you."

Xia Fan looked at the others, and everyone's eyes showed recognition and encouragement. Even Yunshang layman Bai Zhan, who had always had a sullen face, nodded slightly to him.

If he had not gone to Jinxia to take up his post and had not worked with Princess Guangping, he might have had another idea at this moment.

But Xia Fan knew in his heart that the Privy Council might entrust him with important responsibilities, but it would never be as unreserved as the princess.

Jinxia looks weak, but the seeds of the future have been planted. Once this power grows, sooner or later it will become an unshakable tree in the sky.

…

Back at Wanjing Tower, my friends who had been waiting for nearly a whole day immediately gathered around me.

"Why are you coming back now?" Li Qi walked up to him and asked, "The palace was captured in the morning, and it took so long to deal with a prince? You won't be fooled by the second prince's rhetoric, and then achieve something ulterior. agreement?"

"So, has Ning Qianshi succeeded in usurping the throne?" Luo Qingqing focused on order. "You won't... also become the initiator of this palace coup, right?"

"It doesn't matter what it is, as long as we come back safely." Qian Yan looked around Xia Fan, probably checking whether he was injured, "Can we go back to Jinxia now?"

"Back to Jinxia, ​​Qianzhi wants to eat ice!"

"Meow----!"

The cat demon also joined in, and the room was very lively for a while.

"This matter is a bit complicated, so I'll just talk about it together." Xia Fan asked everyone to quiet down first, then connected the audio device, and told everyone in the room and those far away in Jinxia City all the information he had learned in the palace. Ning Wanjun. "...That's pretty much it. In short, the Six Kingdoms will soon become history, and the Privy Council, as the core organ of the New Kingdom, will control everything behind the scenes."

There was a brief silence in the room.

Perhaps the news is too shocking and everyone is still in a state of shock.

After a moment, Ning Wanjun came back to her senses, "So the crown prince and the second prince are about to ascend the throne, and the other is the person behind the court?"

"You can think so."

"How... is this possible!" Ning Wanjun's voice was a little excited, "Why did the two of them let Qi Guo disappear like this? What should I do if Qi Guo no longer exists?"

Xia Fan was silent for a moment, he could understand the other party's feelings - the princess's goal of revenge was to murder her mother's concubine, and the way was to make the son they had high hopes for miss the throne, or to directly pull the person in charge from the throne. But Qi Kingdom will cease to exist, so naturally the king of Qi Kingdom will no longer be the emperor he once was.

The ladies who know all this will not be so heartbroken when facing the princess' revenge.

Xia Fan glanced at the "audience" behind him and made an invitation gesture to them.

Everyone understood and quickly walked out of the room.

Only then did he speak, "But the two of them still stand at the highest point of power in the Qi Kingdom. The second prince's status is even higher than that of the previous emperor. You don't have to worry about having no goal in revenge."

"But the purpose of the Privy Council is to unify the six countries. I thought... you would support this change."

"Of course I support it, provided they can accommodate a Jinxia City." Xia Fan said disapprovingly, "The Privy Council obviously doesn't want to spend more time on those opponents. Direct elimination is the most efficient option. The border troops guarding Leizhou are One of them. In the face of such integration, if you give up your own armed forces, you will undoubtedly put your life in the hands of the other party. "

"What did you say?" The voice on the other end suddenly trembled, "The mastermind behind the frame-up of the border army is the Privy Council?"

"At least that's what the prince said himself. Moreover, if the real culprit is the Privy Council, all questions will make sense - for them, losing Leizhou, Suzhou, and even the entire northwest territory is not an important matter, because all countries Become one in their eyes.”

"So - is this what happened?" Ning Wanjun's tone suddenly became much gloomier, as if she said it through gritted teeth, "You will go back to Jinxia, ​​right?"

"Of course, the Privy Council does not have that many restrictions on core personnel. After the enthronement ceremony is over, I will find an excuse to leave Gyeonggi."

Xia Fan never likes to persuade people to give up revenge. After all, the cycle of nature and retribution are not good. If he were not worried that Luo Qingqing's identity would be exposed, which would lead to changes in subsequent plans, he would have wanted to find an opportunity to sneak him into the palace. Let the fourth prince and Luo Yufei face the anger of the listener.

"Xia Fan..." There was a pause, "Thank you."

This seemed to be the first time Ning Wanjun said thank you to him.

"You're welcome, we are in the same boat after all - no, we should be staunch revolutionary partners. This little support is nothing more than a little effort."

"You're saying weird things again."

When Xia Fan smiled and was about to reply, there was a loud knock on the door at the end of the aisle.

Then the door to the inner room was pushed open, and Li turned his head to warn him, "It's the Qingjian of the Privy Council's Office. No Xin Wu was seen around!"

Not long after returning from the palace, a high-level alchemist came to visit, and he didn't pass on the message through the messenger in advance? Xia Fan frowned and said, "There is a sorcerer here. Let's talk later." Then he interrupted the communication and quickly put away the audio device. After confirming that there were no flaws in the room, he walked slowly to the room. Beside the door, "Here we come."

Opening the door to the wing, standing outside was the "Lock Weaver" Yan Qing.

"It turns out it's you," he pretended to be slightly surprised, "Did the Second Prince forget to explain something?"

"It has nothing to do with the Second Prince." Yan Qing's gaze passed through him and landed on the room behind him, "I just want to meet someone."

"Who?" Xia Fan already had an answer in his mind.

Sure enough, the other party replied slowly, "The girl named Li."

Because I have to have meetings during the day, I can only write at night. The update time will be unstable these days. Just wait until you get back!
