Chapter 481 The Same World
Just when Ning Wanjun was about to try again, a dark figure suddenly appeared above everyone's heads - Olina Okan stretched her broad wings, whizzed past the martial arts arena, and slid down to the center of the villa.
The princess turned to look at Xia Fan, who nodded at her.
"Let's go." Xia Fan then said to Yu Linglong.
"Go?" Yu Linglong had not yet recovered from the dispute with Shadow, "Where are you going?"
"The living room." Xia Fan stood up and said, "I've reached Jinxia."
Like the previous attack on the intelligence center in Huiyang City, the double relay between Chi and Olina can complete a cross-state round trip in the shortest time. When the two dragons were changing shifts at the Shenzhou border, Xia Fan had already learned about Yuyi's imminent arrival through the audio device.
"What?" Yu Linglong looked shocked, "He's also coming to Jinxia? How come it's so fast?"
"I don't know the specific details, but...the core of the Privy Council has obviously deteriorated."
…
In the reception hall of the villa, almost all the senior officials of the two warring parties gathered here. On one side were the Jinxia sect, led by Ning Wanjun and Xia Fan, and on the other side sat Qian, Yan Qing and Yu Linglong. Although the second prince Ning Qianshi and several other Qingjian guards were missing, the place where Yuyi was present could already represent most of the Gyeonggi headquarters.
In order to record this meaningful meeting, the Propaganda Department of the Secretariat also sent Luo Youer and Yu Shuangxue to follow up in real time so that they could be reported in Shenjin Weekly.
Luo Youer is now one of the heads of the Propaganda Department, and Yu Shuangxue has become a special writer for the weekly newspaper because she has written several articles for newspapers and received good response.
To be honest, Yu Shuangxue was a little nervous when she received the notice.
She has lived in Shangyuan City for so long, so she naturally knows what Qingjian and Yuyi in the Privy Council mean - in a sense, they are people who live in a different world from her. The princes of aristocratic families and wealthy merchants and gentry in Gyeonggi Province can easily influence their destiny, but even the top among these people can only bow their heads and avoid Qingjian Yuyi.
In addition, the Privy Council was planning an all-out war with Jinxia, and armies from all walks of life had gathered at the border of Shenzhou. She could imagine the heated scene such a meeting would be with her eyes closed. According to common sense, the two factions will inevitably confront each other, become at war with each other, or directly fight in the villa.
The duel between high-level alchemists would definitely be described as shaking the earth and turning the sun and the moon without light. If she, an ordinary person, were affected, her end could be imagined. But even so, she still accepted the assignment from the Secretariat - after all, this war was closely related to everyone, and with Huo Ying as a role model, she didn't want to escape.
However, the actual situation in the living room shocked Yu Shuangxue. Not to mention the smell of gunpowder, the atmosphere at the scene was harmonious, and the high-status Yu Yiyi looked no different from an ordinary middle-aged uncle. A feeling of homelessness and desolation.
"This is roughly the situation..." Qian sighed longly. His injuries had been basically cured by the rabbit demon, but the sea of qi still needed time to recover, so that he seemed a little weak when he spoke, "Baizhan has become a new The whereabouts of Yuyishi, He'er, Ning Qianshi, Weihuang and Duyelong are all unknown. Judging from the results, the goal that the Privy Council has been striving for has completely failed. "
"It's not your fault. Ending the imperial power and wiping out the aristocratic families made us complacent, but we forgot to examine ourselves."
"Let me tell you, this is all caused by evil spirits, and Fei Nian is the culprit!"
Yan Qing and Yu Linglong took turns comforting him.
"As Hagoromo, I should be responsible for this no matter what." Qian shook his head, "If I hadn't followed the practice of staying away from government affairs before, I wouldn't have allowed evil forces to penetrate to this extent."
"What has happened cannot be changed. The key is what to do in the future." Ning Wanjun said, "Do you still think that Jinxia City is the number one enemy of the Privy Council Office?"
Gan smiled bitterly and said, "Of course not. The top priority now is to prevent the outbreak of war and avoid unnecessary casualties. As for the relationship between the Privy Council and Jin Xia, cooperation and mutual assistance may be formed in the future——"
"No, the Privy Council must be banned." Xia Fan interrupted him.
Hearing this, Yu Shuangxue's hand holding the pen couldn't help but tremble slightly.
"Do we have to do it to this extent..." Yu Linglong muttered in a low voice.
"Well said, there is no such thing as letting go of grudges with a smile!" Shadow clenched his fists to show his support, "When dealing with an enemy, you should eradicate them by their roots. If you continue to fight against them, you will suffer chaos!"
Qian's reaction was calmer than everyone expected, "Can I hear the reason?"
"The governance philosophy of Jinxia City is essentially different from that of the Privy Council. The two are incompatible and cannot coexist." Xia Fan said bluntly, "To put it bluntly, the Privy Council is an organization led by alchemists, and the philosophy it follows is that alchemists should be given priority. The cultivation of Qi sensers is a top priority, but for Jin Xia, Qi sensers should not be treated differently from ordinary people. The leader can be an alchemist or an ordinary person without the ability to sense Qi. "
Qian fell into silence for a moment.
Xia Fan continued, "As long as the Privy Council Office still exists, it will hinder Jinxia's policy promotion. If the Privy Council Office improves and tries to move closer to Jinxia, it will be two parallel administrative centers, which will also weaken Jinxia's strength. In the end, After all, a war is inevitable. What’s more, this system has lasted for hundreds of years, and it’s time for a complete overhaul.”
"So that's what you think..." After a long while, Qian sighed, "I heard from Yu Linglong that a large number of awakened people appeared in Jinxia Academy."
"She didn't lie to you. This is actually beyond my expectation." Xia Fan admitted, "But these children will still complete their studies according to the arrangements of the Affairs Bureau, instead of gathering them together and forming a special department to manage them. As for what they want to do in the future, it is up to them to decide."
"Jinxia has irreplaceable benefits."
"It's a free city."
Yu Shuangxue suddenly echoed the words the other party said in her mind.
For some reason, a layer of mist suddenly covered her vision.
She quickly pretended to blink casually, but the ups and downs of her mood could no longer be calmed down.
Yes...she and Yuyi did live in completely different worlds. The people they usually came into contact with and the words they talked about were not related at all.
But now it's different.
The words she heard from Xia Fan were now repeated in front of Yuyi.
At least at this moment, even the high-ranking Yuyi was in the same world as her.
"But the Privy Council of Qi State is not a separate institution, it is part of the Seven Stars." Qian's tone was a little more worried, "If you plan to completely abolish the Privy Council, I'm afraid the Seven Stars will not stay out of it."
