Chapter 610: Youzhou Old Place
"I calculated that this period of time is almost enough for them to react." Qian suddenly said, "Ning Qianshi lost contact, and the integration plan has not received any feedback. Those people will not be indifferent to this."
"That group of people refers to..."
"Seven Star Privy Council." Wei Huang replied.
Mo Yun's heart tightened, "You mean, this news was deliberately released by the alchemists of the Seven Star Privy Council?"
"This is the most likely guess," Yan Qing nodded, "If they haven't noticed the situation in Shenzhou after a month and a half, it can only be said that there is a big problem with the intelligence network of the Seven Stars. Of course, we do not rule out that Fang Xiandao's divination is wrong, but it is not a bad thing to make more preparations at such a sensitive moment."
"If it is the Seven Star Privy Council, what they want to know most now should be what the situation is in Shenzhou and even Jinxia." Qian looked at Mo Yun, "And catching one or two alchemists sent by Jinxia will undoubtedly be the most efficient way to get an accurate answer."
For those who go forward to remove evil, this trip is equivalent to a carefully arranged trap, so it is reflected in the hexagram and becomes a dangerous signal.
"Our plan is to use the enemy's tactics against them and conduct a counter-encirclement of the possible threats." Yan Qing drove the chain in his hand and pointed to the Shenliu border on the map. "The exorcism team is still arranged as usual, led by Baihua Sword Du Yelong. Yu Linglong is responsible for secret surveillance, Qian and I bypass the border and go to the village from the Liuzhou side to double-team. In addition, the Privy Council needs the assistance of Penglai Dragon Chi to prevent any possibility of escape from the enemy. In addition, I hope that the garrison in Anshen City can also dispatch a 500-man force as a reserve to cooperate with our actions. If the guess is correct, the primary purpose of this mission is to capture the Seven Star Alchemist, and the second is to eliminate the evil spirits."
There is no doubt that the Privy Council is now the most professional intelligence and combat department in the entire Qi Kingdom.
Long before the graduation ceremony, they had already prepared the entire response plan.
Mo Yun didn't know much about combat, so she skipped all the details and asked Yan Qing directly, "What do I need to do?"
"According to the regulations of the Affairs Bureau, the transfer of Qingjian and above needs to be recorded and reported to the Prime Minister or the Princess. In addition, you are the Acting Prime Minister, and you must approve the contact with Miss Chi and the Anshen City garrison."
"I know," Mo Yun took out his seal, "Just implement it according to your plan."
...
When I returned to Fengyang Villa, it was almost dusk.
During the time when the princess and Xia Fan were away, Mo Yun almost took on the affairs of Jinxia City. Even though she was used to the busy work of the Machinery Bureau, she felt an indescribable fatigue.
She walked into the depths of the villa's bedroom, passed through a series of tight defense lines, and came to Ning Wanjun's bedroom.
This place has been transformed by the Fang family into a cold storage suitable for ice coffins.
Seeing that the visitor was Mo Yun, the guard saluted and opened the door filled with cold air.
Mo Yun put on a thick coat and slowly walked to the huge ice block in the center of the room.
Through the crystal clear ice, Ning Wanjun's eyes were closed.
The moment she saw the princess, Mo Yun felt that her fatigue had disappeared a little.
This might be the only reason why she could hold on until now.
She leaned her forehead on the ice and closed her eyes as usual - as if by doing so, the princess could feel that she was by her side.
"I will protect this city for you... until you come back." Mo Yun whispered, "So you must not lose to the evil spirit."
When she felt helpless, it was the third princess who brought her out of the quagmire of family oppression and gave her a stage to display her talent.
Now it's her turn to repay the other party.
...
Facing the afterglow of the setting sun, Luo Qingqing finally saw the high walls of Qianren City.
It is the core of Youzhou and the place where the Luo family once took root. Among the captives of the coalition forces of various states, she also asked several soldiers from Youzhou to find out the news of the Luo family mansion. After all, after Ning Qianshi decided to cancel the system of the family taking over the sensor, all the family of alchemy suffered a big blow. Especially after the Privy Council took away all the Qi-sensing people, the remaining clan was left. Since they were all ordinary people who could not sense Qi, it would not be an exaggeration to describe their strength as plummeting.
If the power of the court was not damaged, it would be fine. No matter how decadent the Luo family was, they were still wealthy and could live a life without worrying about food and clothing without relying on Qi-sensing people. But the problem was that after Ning Qianshi's tossing, the court was already torn apart and unworthy of its name. In this way, the situation faced by the noble families who had wealth but lacked the ability to protect themselves became different.
Luo Qingqing didn't have much affection for the Luo family clan. What she cared about was the library in the mansion.
After studying in Jinxia for half a year, she began to gradually understand the original meaning of order.
In Xia Fan's words, order is the embodiment of civilization.
The more advanced the civilization, the more advanced the order. Generally speaking, a good order can not only protect the interests of the vast majority of people, but also pay attention to the demands of a few people, but order itself is not an omnipotent principle. In the final analysis, it is something that people set. Without human cooperation, no matter how perfect the order is, it will not play any role and may even become an obstacle.
It is just like people wear clothes when going out, but monkeys cannot - for monkeys, clothes are unnecessary burdens and shackles that restrict their actions.
And if you want to improve civilization, the knowledge and cognitive level of the group will always be the most critical factor.
The Luo family's library is a treasure house of knowledge. Although it cannot fill people's stomachs, it has a more important meaning than filling their stomachs.
If the library can be completely moved to Jinxia City, it will definitely be a great thing that will help the new order.
Unfortunately, she asked several soldiers but they could not give an accurate answer. Some said that the Luo family had moved out of Qianren City, and some said that the Luo family was exterminated by the Privy Council. This also made Luo Qingqing think of coming to Youzhou in person.
If it were half a year ago, she herself would not believe that she would value the library with countless books more than going to Shangyuan City to seek revenge on Luo Yufei.
However, the closer she got to the city wall, the more Luo Qingqing felt that something was wrong.
There were almost no people on the official road, which seemed a bit deserted for a capital city. There was a faint smell in the air, accompanied by a breeze from time to time, and the source was undoubtedly the direction of the city gate.
She took off her blindfold and tried to look at the city gate in the distance. In her blurred vision, she could only barely see the outline of the entrance and the dead branches swaying above the high wall.
When did trees start to be planted on the top of the walls of Qianren City? And there were hundreds of them.
They swayed in the wind, as if welcoming Luo Qingqing's arrival.
