Chapter 514: Go or Stay
The trip to the Western Pole was thus decided.
The ship was not a problem. Jinxia not only had flagship warships, but also experienced long-distance captains. They were rare in the six kingdoms, let alone Qi.
Moreover, there was a dragon girl who knew the local situation to lead the way, and the identity of an ambassador was used as a cover. It could be said that both the hardware and software were complete, and the risk was lower than asking for help from the Seven Star Privy Council.
After listening to Xia Fan's idea, Lian Qian couldn't say anything to refute it.
This was indeed the best strategy.
Let Xia Fan abandon the princess and take charge of the overall situation directly, and take advantage of the period when the Shangyuan Privy Council gave up power to expand his influence in Qi as soon as possible - no matter how reasonable such a statement was, Qian couldn't say it.
As the saying goes, the king is ruthless.
But he didn't want to serve such a king.
Finally, Qian could only smile bitterly and sigh, "How long do you plan to go?"
"Three months." Xia Fan held up three fingers, "Before departure, I will set up a long-wave radio station to ensure that the contact with Jinxia will not be interrupted. Once this method is verified to be feasible, the fleet will send the princess there."
It takes time for the news to spread from Qiguo, and Qixing cannot make a judgment immediately. There will always be envoys to investigate several times in the middle, so this gap will not give the Privy Council too many opportunities to take advantage of.
"I know." Qian said seriously after a moment of silence, "I will defend this place."
Xia Fan paused slightly, and this statement has already explained Yuyi's attitude.
-He regards Jinxia City as a new sustenance for achieving his goals.
"Thank you." Xia Fan replied.
"No, I should thank you. If it weren't for Jin Xia's insistence, the Capital Privy Council would have fallen into the hands of evil forces."
"By the way..." Xia Fan suddenly remembered the other core members, "What about Wei Huang and the others? Do they have any plans next?"
"They all plan to stay, especially after visiting the academy." Qian suddenly smiled, "When you mentioned this, I remembered one thing. I wonder if the Affairs Bureau can accept another Qing Jian?"
"Oh? Who is it?"
"Yan Yue."
Xia Fan's mind suddenly popped up the figure of the woman who stood up to Li, "Isn't she from Fengguo Privy Council... Will they agree?"
"If it was Qing Jian's own decision, it would be difficult for the Privy Council to change it."
"No, why did she suddenly change her temper? ? "Xia Fan said with a look of doubt, "According to her, this is the place where demons gather, and it is the breakthrough point for the Western Extreme to invade the six countries on the continent!"
"Of course she will not change her words easily." Qian grinned, "So this is why Yan Yue is reluctant to visit you. When she came to me, she spent most of her time explaining her purpose, as if she was afraid of being misunderstood."
"What did she say?"
"If the phenomenon of the school can be popularized and reproduced, then it will be a treasure for the world's qi-sensing people and the greatest source of future progress in magic. In order to ensure that it is not corrupted by demons and not occupied by Western forces, she wants to stay and protect this treasure, so as not to let down this miracle by some irresponsible rulers."
This feeling regards herself as a defender of justice?
Xia Fan thought about it and was about to refuse, but Qian added, "She also said that even if you refuse, she will not give up."
"What do you mean?"
"If she can't enter the Affairs Bureau, she will use other methods to stay in Jinxia... For example, pretending to be a businessman, a refugee, etc. If someone insists on expelling her, she will hide in the dark under an assumed name."
It's getting more and more outrageous. As for that so-called someone, just read out his ID card directly.
"What do you think?" Xia Fan suddenly wanted to ask Qian's opinion.
"There can be many kinds of rhetoric, but the corresponding emotions behind it are unique. I can feel that she really wants to stay - and not for herself."
Xia Fan pondered for a moment and finally decided, "Well, she can stay in Jinxia permanently, but if she wants to join the Affairs Bureau, she must first complete an assessment. Because the Affairs Bureau has its own purpose, one of which is that the relationship between humans and monsters must not be artificially severed. As long as they are citizens of Jinxia, they should be treated equally. As for the content of the assessment, I will write a special letter to inform her later."
He has long wanted to open a medical department.
There are not many magicians in the affairs bureau, only four or five. They can only barely take care of the injured in Jinxia City by relying on magic. It is obviously far from enough to popularize it to Shenzhou. For this reason, Xia Fan compiled a trial medical manual based on his understanding of magic, aiming to promote the research of other types of magic and fundamentally expand the selection range of doctors.
But who will lead the medical department has become a key issue.
If he does not go to Xiji, he can naturally take charge of this project, but once he leaves, Jinxia will appear to lack relevant professional talents. Those magicians are good at using basic magic, but they do not have the ability to shoulder a large department.
In this way, Yan Yue may be a good choice.
Not only is she good at treatment, she is also a famous Qingjian. Her ability and status are not low, and it is easier to convince people when doing things.
If she can change her own prejudice.
"I will convey your meaning." Qian nodded.
"Where's the other person? I remember his name was... Ji Wuwang, right?"
"He left." Yu Yi replied, "In fact, he didn't even wait to visit Jinxia."
"So anxious?" Xia Fan said with a little surprise, "Didn't he want to spar with me again?"
"That's what he said, but he thinks you've just been through a big battle, and the princess is injured, so you might not be in a stable state of mind, so he decided to give up this exchange and look for another opportunity later."
"He's a reasonable person." Xia Fan said with emotion. He really didn't feel like giving instructions to his colleagues now, and it was tiring enough to teach a princess.
"Anyway, I'll help you guard Jinxia City, but don't stay in Xiji for too long." Qian warned, "I guess the Seven Stars Privy Council won't just acquiesce to Qiguo's escape from their control."
"I know."
Yu Yi bowed and turned to walk out of the hall.
Not long after he left, there was another knock on the door.
There are so many visitors today. Xia Fan raised his eyebrows, and the guards didn't report it, so it must be an acquaintance.
"Come in."
Seeing the figure pushing the door in, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
The other party turned out to be Luo Qingqing.
"What's the matter?" He walked out from behind the desk and took the initiative to move a chair for the other party.
Luo gently waved his hand, indicating that he would just stand there, "I'm here to say goodbye to you."
A feeling of melancholy suddenly surged in his heart, and Xia Fan stood there for a while before answering, "Goodbye? Why? Where are you going?"
These three questions made Luo gently laugh.
"You misunderstood me. When I said goodbye, I meant to say goodbye to Jinxia temporarily, not to say goodbye to you forever."
