Chapter 313 The Outstretched Hand

After two earth-shattering explosions, Yan Qing realized that something went wrong with the coronation ceremony.

She subconsciously took a step and wanted to go to the palace area, but the pain from her ankle suddenly pulled her back to reality.

—— She is now a prisoner of the Privy Council, and no matter what happens in the ceremony, it has nothing to do with her.

After Yu Linglong made sure that the vibration had subsided, she locked the prison door and walked towards the exit on the ground, obviously to find out the situation outside. As for the fourth prince... she didn't pay attention to him at all. When the explosion subsided, the other party had run away without a trace.

Looking at the shackles on her hands, Yan Qing sighed silently.

The second prince can make full use of the strength of Baizhan and Qian, He'er's control of the overall situation is unmatched, and there are also the Seven Star Envoys of Xu and Gao... If Shangyuan City really encounters any trouble, they will not stand idly by.

In other words, no matter who is challenging the authority of the Privy Council, the final result is doomed to end in failure.

She is not the indispensable person.

Even though she has devoted a lot of effort to the conception of the Seven Stars Privy Council.

Even though she, like everyone else, looks forward to the prosperous future after the unification of the six kingdoms.

The question is, which alchemist will not be shaken by this grand goal?

After the obstacle of the family is removed, the last obstacle for the Privy Council to obtain talents has also been removed. Under the unified allocation and teaching of the school, the basic education level of the Qi Sensing will surely be greatly improved. In the next few years, the young generation with extraordinary talents should emerge in an endless stream, like a flood of carp crossing the river.

It is natural that she is gradually forgotten.

Sometimes Yan Qing even has a strange feeling in her heart.

It may not be a bad thing for her to die here.

The overall situation of the six kingdoms has been determined, and the goal they are working hard for will eventually be achieved.

Similarly, Li's identity can continue to be hidden, as long as that guy doesn't mess around.

Suddenly, some strange noises came from the quiet prison.

Yan Qing concluded from experience that someone was approaching this side - the footsteps were very shallow, and there was an intention to deliberately walk lightly. The jailer obviously wouldn't walk like this, and the alchemist of the Privy Council... it seemed that there was no need to hide his whereabouts.

"Yu Linglong?"

She asked for the first time.

No one responded to her question in the dark corridor.

Yan Qing's heart sank slightly.

The other party had just left here, and it was unlikely that they would let outsiders enter the underground prison. Coupled with the movement from the palace, she couldn't help but think of a possibility in her mind - the hidden forces of the Holy Wing Islands were planning a prison break, attacking the palace was fake, and rescuing Olina Okan was real! And Yu Linglong, who went to inquire about the situation, might have run into them.

Since they are now in the prison, it means that Yu Linglong may have met with an accident...

Yan Qing struggled hard, but apart from the pain, the shackles on her hands and feet did not move at all.

She couldn't help but clench her teeth.

"Found it! The person is here."

A whisper came from outside the cell.

Sure enough, they came to rob the prison!

"Are you sure it's Yan Qing?"

"The characteristics of the aura are exactly the same."

"Well, help me keep an eye on the surrounding situation."

And the target of their prison rob is Yan Qing - wait, Yan Qing was suddenly stunned, it's not Olina Okan, but himself?

A cluster of fire suddenly lit up.

The visitor raised a torch and dispelled the darkness of the cell.

Looking at the man in front of him, Yan Qing was stunned for a long time before muttering, "Xia... Fan?"

Xia Fan tore off the soft leather disguise stuck on his nose, "It's me. I'm here to take you out of Shangyuan City."

Seeing Qing Jian himself, he was also slightly relieved. Although the other party seemed to have suffered some torture, he was in good condition. And from entering the cell to finding the target, it took only about a quarter of an hour, which can be said to be very smooth.

"Where's Yu Linglong?" Yan Qing was in a trance, and suddenly came to his senses, "You won't kill her--"

"So it was Yu Linglong sitting in that carriage," Xia Fan first lit the torch on the wall, and then went forward to check the shackles, "I didn't see her in person, but I was attacked by a hidden arrow after entering the door. It's strange to say, why do I feel that there are so few jailers and guards in this prison?"

Maybe Yu Linglong sent them away, or maybe the fourth prince did it... No, this is not the point. Yan Qing stared at Xia Fan and asked word by word, "Why are you back again? Didn't I ask you to take Li away from the capital, the farther the better!"

"If you hadn't been caught by the Privy Council, we should have been on the way back to Jinxia."

"You are too reckless!" Yan Qing began to doubt whether her persistence was meaningful. How could such a person dare to sneak back to Shangyuan City again under the nose of the Privy Council? If he was caught, wouldn't he drag Li down with him? By then, everything would be over! "Before the Privy Council notices, you should flee from here! As for me, it's fine-"

"Of course it's not fine!" Xia Fan interrupted her, "You helped everyone, and everyone wants to help you, isn't that natural? What's more, the most important thing is... Li doesn't want to leave you here alone. Bear with it, it may hurt a little."

He stretched out his hands and put them close to the connection between the shackles and the rack, and his fingertips suddenly flashed a dazzling arc of light.

Under the effect of the electric arc, several pins quickly turned red and softened until they broke off from the connection.

This was the first time Yan Qing saw the shock technique being used like this!

Xia Fan smiled, "I said, the title of Nine Heavens Thunder Envoy is not for nothing."

Soon, her hands and feet regained their freedom.

Although there are still some locks fixed on her wrists and ankles, these can be slowly removed after escaping Shangyuan City.

Now that it is time to leave the cage, Yan Qing showed hesitation.

She knew that once she left, the name of betrayer would be established. At that time, no matter how she explained, I am afraid no one would believe it.

"I..."

"Buzz--" At this moment, the detector behind Xia Fan vibrated. He picked up the communication voice instrument, and Li's voice came from the other side, "Hiss... Xia Fan, can you hear it? A team of people went to Dongcheng District...hiss...I saw that there were at least four-grade or above alchemists in the team...I don't know if they discovered our plan...hiss...how are you doing? No matter what...it's better to hurry up."

Because they were underground, the noise in the signal was much denser, but fortunately the distance was close enough, Xia Fan could still hear the information provided by the other party clearly.

However, without setting up an antenna, he could only receive the radio waves sent by the other party unilaterally, but could not reply.

Yan Qing stood there in a daze on the other side.

If she heard it correctly, it was clearly Li's voice, and the content of the conversation showed that she was not in the prison at the moment, but at a high point in the city where she could observe the flow of people in the urban area. How did the two people achieve real-time communication at such a long distance?

Relying on magic? But fox demons belong to Kan, and she has never heard of Kan magic that can achieve similar effects.

"You should have heard the voice just now. In order to rescue you, Li is now monitoring the movements of the Privy Council above Tianfu Street. In the whole plan, she is the last person to withdraw from Shangyuan City." Xia Fan looked directly into Yan Qing's eyes and said in a deep voice, "I know what you are hesitating about, but the fact is that you have lost the trust of the Privy Council. Whether you leave or stay, it will not change other people's views of you! More importantly, do you want Li's efforts to go to waste!?"

This sentence shocked Yan Qing slightly.

She was not a hesitant person, and she was not determined to commit suicide.

Since it did not affect the overall situation of the Privy Council, and Li could survive, what did it matter if she was misunderstood?

"Let me make it clear first, even if you rescue me, I will not be loyal to the Third Princess."

"It doesn't matter, it's your freedom to be loyal to whoever you want. Do you remember what I said before?" Xia Fan stretched out his hand, "If you have time in the future, you can go to Jinxia to take a look, maybe you will have a different opinion then-" He paused, "You are free now."

Yan Qing was silent for a moment, and then held the hand.
