Chapter 482 Attack and Defense

Yan Qing and Yu Linglong frowned at the thought of a possible conflict with Qixing.

It is not a suitable example to compare the Gyeonggi General Palace of Qi State to the Privy Council Houses of other countries - after the Wanjinglou Incident, the Royalist Faction and the Seven-Star Faction completely broke apart. Yuyi and Tianshu almost died and had to be transferred to He'er. The overall strength of the Privy Council has not been able to fully recover to this day.

But nothing similar happened in those countries.

Especially Xu State, as the initiator of the Seven Star Alliance, its Privy Council not only has two immortal arts inheritors, Tianquanshi and Yuhengshi, but also four people in Yuyi and more than ten Qingjian people, whose strength far exceeds that of Qi Guo. If the five companies unite to target Jin Xia, it will definitely be an unimaginable storm.

"How about... let the Privy Council breathe?" Shadow shrank and changed his tone.

Xia Fan's expression did not change much. He glanced at the third princess first, and then replied to Chao Qian, "This is the problem. I have fully understood the purpose of the Seven Star Privy Council when I was in Shangyuan City, so when When Jinxia can do better than Qixing, will all the alchemists still support Qixing?"

Qian's eyebrows moved.

"I believe that the Qi-sensing people in the world are not all those who seek fame and wealth," Xia Fan continued. "As long as they have not forgotten their original intention, they should understand whether what Jinxia City did is right or wrong. If they have lost their way, direction, then don’t we have to fight against it even more? To put it simply, when the Seven-Star Privy Council cannot accept someone doing better than it and wants to destroy it just because it violates its will, it is no longer what it was before. That’s the Privy Council House.”

The moment this motive was born, it went from advanced to backward.

Qian was silent for a long time, and finally showed a wry smile, "You seem to be asking me whether your original intention is still there."

Xia Fan raised the corner of his mouth, "If you feel this way, you must have an answer in your heart."

"Jinxia City...you wouldn't mind having an extra mouth to eat, right?"

"As long as you work hard, you can open as many mouths as you want."

Faced with this answer, Qian knew that he couldn't make it clear directly, "I hope to join Jinxia City, but my allegiance is not to a certain person, but to the goal you described - Jinxia will do more than the Privy Council in the future." good!"

"I promise, all your efforts will be rewarded." Xia Fan also smiled, "Welcome to Jinxia City."

Everyone clapped involuntarily.

Yan Qing and Yu Linglong also had smiles on their faces.

If even Yuyi chose this path, it would also prove in disguise that they had not gone in the wrong direction before.

This road is no longer a lonely one.

"Hey, hey, hurry up and say it!" Shadow yelled, "Yan Qing was the first to arrive, and now she has shown her attitude. Why are you still dazed!"

"Oh," Yu Linglong slowly raised her hand, still hesitating about what to say, but Xia Fan's eyes had already turned to her.

"Because you were recuperating, you never had the chance to talk. Now I hope it's still too late to make up for it." He said calmly, "Yu Linglong, Jinxia City also welcomes you to join."

Really... Yu Linglong felt relieved immediately, it turned out that the other party had already regarded her as a member of Jinxia.

At this time, a guard walked into the living room and whispered a few words to the princess.

"I understand." Ning Wanjun nodded, then looked at everyone present, "Everyone, according to reports from forward posts, various armies stationed in Binshui County have been mobilized and are entering Shenzhou through Jiujiang."

There was a burst of discussion in the hall.

"So fast?" Yu Linglong said in surprise, "According to the Privy Council's plan, the complete dispatch of materials will not be completed until April, and it's just past the middle of the month."

"Are the evil forces unable to wait?" Qian thought for a moment, stood up and cupped his hands towards Xia Fan, "Let me go to the west. I want to see who is commanding this army."

"Are you going to persuade them to stop?" Xia Fan saw what he was thinking.

"That's right. I don't believe that Bai Zhan has the ability to control the entire army when Ning Qianshi and other senior officials are not around." Gan Jiang revealed his plan, "I'm afraid most people don't know about the changes that happened in Huiyang City. As long as If I tell Fei Nian and Bai Zhan, the war will not break out."

"When something goes wrong, there must be... evil spirits. If you can't stop the army, the situation will become very dangerous."

"Indeed, so I am only planning to meet with the generals in front of the battle. If this plan fails, at least I can understand the situation in the Privy Council. And your actions don't have to worry about my attempt. I can eliminate the war without any blood. It’s best. If it doesn’t work, I will follow Jin Xia’s plan to fight next.”

Xia Fan nodded slightly - in other words, Hagoromo's plan was to include a link to persuade the two sides to surrender before the battle. It was a sure profit, and there would be no loss if it failed. Dialogue before the formation can effectively avoid risks. As long as Jinxia's army is holding the formation from behind, the enemy should be able to take advantage of it and there is nothing they can do.

Even if persuasion to surrender fails, it is still a good thing to shake the military morale of the Privy Council.

Yu Linglong pondered for a moment, "Is there such a possibility... that Ning Qianshi has completely sided with Bai Zhan? If the second prince steps forward, it will not be so difficult to control the entire army."

"It would be okay if Bai Zhan didn't become the Tianshu Envoy, but he has obtained the inheritance, which means that if he kills the Tianshu Envoy, Ning Qianshi will never be able to form an alliance with him." Qian Zhan said firmly.

"Is the second prince so loyal to Tianshu?"

Yu Yi sighed lightly, "They... were once in love."

Yu Linglong was stunned for a moment, then stroked her forehead and said, "Okay... I know."

Ning Wanjun stood up, "Since the basic direction has been determined, let's take action now!"

...

Jinxia City had already made sufficient preparations for this war. When the order was issued, the entire Shenzhou force was mobilized.

The residents of the towns and villages near the border of Liuzhou had already evacuated, leaving no opportunity for the enemy to resupply on the spot; the inland river docks were lined with flat ice boats, sending mechanical beasts and combat resources to the front line.

The main force totaled more than 12,000 soldiers and was divided into two groups, stationed between Anshen City and Baihe City, one led by Ning Wanjun and the other by Xu Youji. The two armies communicated through the sound transmission instrument and maintained a high degree of consistency in their actions, almost no different from an army.

Xia Fan led the alchemist team as a mobile force to respond to the situation - his team included Chi and Olina, plus Li, Luo Qingqing, Yan Qing, Nai Qing and Kong Xuanzi. The configuration was just one dragon leading three people, and at full speed, they could reach any battlefield on the border in one hour.

The Qiguo coalition army had as many as 150,000 people. After entering Shenzhou, they quickly split into five groups and headed towards the main towns of Shenzhou. Among them, the main force of nearly 60,000 people advanced along Jiujiang all the way to the southeast, and it seemed that their intention was to go straight to Jinxia City!
