Chapter 511: Choices for the Future

"This is……"

"The Fang family's secret ritual, the frozen coffin." Qian Yan came over from the other side and said.

Xia Fan followed the sound and found that not only Qian Yan, but also the head of the Fang family and the old lady were also in the hall.

"This technique is usually used to preserve the bodies of the living dead to prevent them from being harmed by other outsiders when they are recovering from death."

"In other words, it can be lifted at any time?" Xia Fan asked.

"Yes, as long as the formation is reversed, this ice coffin can be completely vaporized in half a day without harming the body of the living dead." Qian Yan nodded, "But it has never been used on ordinary people who sense qi. So it is unknown what adverse effects it will have on the princess. Her Royal Highness wanted to hold on until you came back, but the situation at that time could not tolerate any delay, so I took it upon myself to freeze her body."

Soon, Xia Fan learned the whole process from the other party.

After Ning Wanjun was sent back to the villa, everyone fell into panic and confusion. The only one who remained calm was the maid Qiuyue. She picked up the princess's waistband and issued a series of orders, including closing the village and asking the Privy Council's magician to come to the village for treatment. After finding that it was ineffective, she asked the Fang family and Penglai for help, and even approached Yu who was in a similar situation. exquisite.

But there was nothing anyone could do.

Seeing Ning Wanjun's injury worsening extremely, Qian Yan took the initiative to step forward and lead the freezing ceremony.

"Her choice is correct." In the silence, Yu Linglong said, "The princess's soul was injured, and traditional treatment has lost its effectiveness. If it was only a minor injury, she might still be able to persist for a long time. But at that time, His Highness The lungs are seriously injured, and blood flows back into the organs, which can be fatal for those who are affected by gas. "

Xia Fan looked around. Everyone in the hall looked a little gloomy. More or less, they all heard the news of the victory of Jinxia's left army. Once the two wings were broken, the battle situation was basically settled. However, no one could be happy at this moment. The princess is of royal blood and represents the legal symbol that governs Shenzhou and even the entire Qi Kingdom. Now that she has lost consciousness and is trapped in an ice coffin, the originally bright road has suddenly become hazy again.

Precisely because of Ning Wanjun's importance, the Fang family obviously took a huge risk by daring to take the initiative to use extraordinary measures at this time, using a living dead technique that had never been tested on ordinary alchemists to freeze Princess Guangping.

Perhaps this is the reason why Yu Linglong stood up to speak for Qian Yan.

"Thank you." Xia Fan knelt down and patted her head, "You did a good job."

Qian Yan snorted lightly, but did not express any resistance.

"By the way, where is Qiuyue?" Only then did he notice that there seemed to be no maid in the hall.

"She is in the hall." Mo Yun replied. Her eyes were red and her eyes were fixed on the ice coffin, looking a little confused. "Qiuyue also said that if you come back, she has something very important to say to you."

Xia Fan nodded, turned around and walked towards the back room.

In the rest room at the back of the main hall, he saw the princess's personal maid - different from the calm Qiuyue that everyone said, she was sitting on the edge of the sofa, her hands were shaking uncontrollably, and her face was visibly pale. To a trace of blood.

Hearing Xia Fan's footsteps, she slowly raised her head, no longer as sharp and vigilant as before.

"Master Xia..."

"I'm here." Xia Fan sat down in front of her.

And the next second, she hugged Xia Fan and started sobbing - her voice was suppressed very low, as if she didn't want people outside to notice, but Xia Fan heard it clearly, and the intermittent crying sounded like a kind of The outpouring after a long period of restraint.

Almost a moment later, Qiuyue slowly raised her head.

Xia Fan, who was well prepared, handed a handkerchief to her.

"I'm sorry... I'm rude." The maid wiped her cheeks stained by tears, "I... failed to protect the princess." At this point, her nose twitched, and she felt great guilt and self-blame. heart.

"The battlefield is like this. No one can guarantee a perfect strategy." Xia Fan comforted. She was not as calm as everyone described her, but her desire to save the princess overcame her panic. "The key is what to do next. There is no doubt that the princess is still alive, and it is far from despair now." "

Qiuyue nodded and was silent for a while before saying, "Her Royal Highness the Princess asked me to tell you that if something happens to her, you will take over Jinxia."

"Me?" Xia Fan was stunned.

"Yes. She also said that you can trust Mo Yun." Qiuyue paused, "Of course... you can also trust me. Your Highness the Princess's entrustment is my lifelong goal."

"I won't sit in that seat." Xia Fan said calmly.

"You..." Qiuyue was stunned. She seemed not to have expected that the other party would refuse such a thing, "Why?"

"It is only suitable for Ning Wanjun to sit there. Before she wakes up, the Secretariat is enough to take care of the daily affairs of Shenzhou. As for me..." Xia Fan said seriously, "I will find all ways to make her recover. Come here. Don’t worry, Her Royal Highness will not sleep forever.”

…

After the First World War of the Left Army, the Ten-State Allied Forces of the Privy Council no longer had any meaning to persist.

Under the intervention of Ning Qianshi and Qian, the 60,000-strong Chinese Army and the struggling Right Army were disintegrated one after another, and the generals of each department returned to their hometowns to disperse.

Not only that, Qian and other core alchemists also publicly stated that they would withdraw from the Gyeonggi Privy Council and stay in Jinxia from now on. This also made everyone realize that the Privy Council has ceased to exist in name only.

In the future, the capital of Qi State will probably no longer be Shangyuan City, which has lasted for a hundred years.

And the noble families and clans in various states are watching the princess's next move - when the Privy Council gives up power, someone will definitely fill it.

But unexpectedly, Jinxia City has not seen any movement, as if it has been silent.

However, anyone who visits Jinxia will find that this place is still prosperous and lively.

This war basically revolved around Jiujiang and the suburbs outside the city, and the impact on the people's livelihood in Shenzhou was not serious. The tragic situation of war and starvation in the past did not happen. It can even be said that Shenzhou after the war is more prosperous than before the war - a large number of captives chose to make a living locally, and the influence of Jinxia City's victory over the Privy Council was increasing day by day, which made the population inflow reach a new peak.

This can be seen from the consumption of marine fish.

For the first time, the cold chain food, which was originally in oversupply, has a supply and sales balance. No matter how much seafood the two tree boats salvage, they can be sold out within one or two days. The problem of building a large cold storage to store food no longer exists.

The expansion of Jinxia City has not stopped at all. In addition to the original south city wall, the west city wall has also been included in the demolition plan. The city area has more than doubled in a short period of time, and the number of permanent residents has reached 400,000 for the first time.

All affairs in the city can be said to have entered a fast lane of rapid development.

However, in places such as wine shops and teahouses, some not-so-good rumors can be heard occasionally.

For example, Her Royal Highness the Princess has not appeared for a long time.
