Chapter 423 The Price of Driving the Green Sword

Jinxia City, inside Fengyang Villa.

"How is Miss Li?"

As soon as Xia Fan walked out of the bedroom door, he saw Princess Guangping who came after hearing the news.

"It's mainly an external burn. The wound has been cleaned with Dui Technique and applied with wound medicine. It's not a big problem and it should recover in a few days."

"Really?" Ning Wanjun nodded slightly, "That's good."

It was obvious that her worry about the fox demon was not disguised.

From being indifferent at the beginning, she gradually regards Li as one of her own and cares about what happens to her... The princess has also changed a lot, Xia Fan thought to himself.

This operation was not the idea of ​​him or the staff, but the initiative of Li and Luo Qingqing. He didn't want to let the other party take risks, but he couldn't resist their strong will. After the general staff made a summary and confirmed that the benefits were higher than the risks, the plan for the raid on the Huiyang Chengzhou Mufu was finally made.

Choosing to operate during the day rather than late at night also took into account the limitations of intelligence. The Zhou Mu Mansion is a large courtyard with several rows of houses. Feinian is most likely sitting in the lobby during the day, but it is difficult to determine where he falls asleep at night.

Because of this, the enemy's reaction speed will also be much faster. In order to ensure that Chi could travel back and forth in one breath, the three of them had moved to the border of Liuzhou and Shenzhou the day before the operation. At the same time, Xia Fan requested that the fighting time should not exceed one-third and a quarter of an hour, regardless of whether it was successful or not. Chi's speed Although they are fast, they are unable to fight while holding Luo Qingqing and Li Liang in the air. Once they are surrounded by alchemists, even if they are just Wenwen-level opponents, the risk will increase significantly.

Of course, the General Staff also had another consideration, which was that even if they failed to get rid of the core figures in the Privy Council, destroying their intelligence center would still be of great significance.

After all, Qi Guo's intelligence transmission was all based on paper, and sorting and screening were all done by hand, and the processing efficiency relied heavily on the proficiency of the personnel. If they were swept away, Jin Xia would undoubtedly be able to buy a lot of time.

The actual development was almost as inferred by the staff. Feinian finally escaped. The lobby of the Prefectural Mufu was reduced to rubble, and the office staff and documents were looted. Even if the target alchemist was not dead, the intelligence center would be destroyed in a short time. Stop recovering.

The strategic intention was mostly successful, but the problem lay in Feinian's way of escaping.

After listening to Luo Qingqing's story, Ning Wanjun frowned, "Is the Yuan ghost you are talking about an evil spirit that has appeared in Gaoshan County?"

"Yes," she took out the thing she found in the pit. "If this bronze ball is intact, it can indeed be regarded as a container. It's just..."

"It's just that being swallowed by an abyss ghost is a dead end. If it were an ordinary abyss ghost, Fei Nian would have been crushed into the size of a meatball by now." Xia Fan continued.

"I guess he didn't do this to commit suicide." Ning Wanjun shrugged, "So the Privy Council is also studying the power of evil spirits?"

"But Ning Qianshi once said that the collapse of the Yong Dynasty was closely related to evil spirits. The Seven Stars all have the same view on this, that is, the boundaries between the living and the dead must not be confused, and the power of chaos cannot be controlled by others. use."

"They're just lying to you."

"But since chaos is not a taboo, why do they need to overthrow the Yong Dynasty?" Xia Fan always felt that things were not that simple. "I have already sent a message to Anshen City and asked Yan Qing to send me a message after returning to the branch."

The trump card in Anshen City now is Qingjian Yan Qing - she is not willing to help Jin Xia directly confront the Privy Council, but after some roundabout persuasion by Xia Fan, she finally reluctantly agreed to take on the role of protector and take care of The master, Li Xing and others are tracking down the spies over there.

"Your Royal Highness, Mr. Xia," a guard walked into the yard at this time and reported to the two of them, "A telegram came from Anshen City, saying that the person you are looking for is back."

"Just right." Xia Fan nodded lightly towards Ning Wanjun and Luo, "Let's go and find out."

…

"Hey...what did you say? Studying evil spirits...Hey...this is absolutely impossible!"

Just halfway through speaking, Yan Qing's categorical negative voice came from the phone.

"Hey... The Privy Council and the evil forces are at odds with each other. In addition to dealing with overseas enemies and finding the door to heaven, the alliance of the Seven Stars is also to prevent the disaster of King Yong from happening again! I even heard before that the Heavenly Power Envoy and the Yuheng Envoy were formulating a plan. A three-year expedition plan to go eastward to the island to eradicate the remnants of the Yong Dynasty and completely eliminate the evil spirits."

"Based on my understanding of the Privy Council, it is impossible for them to hide their hands and feet on this, and there is no need to hold on to Chaos. That kind of power seems incredible, but in fact there are many restrictions on its use, and it is extremely easy for the living to be harmed. It becomes similar to evil spirits. If we only look at the effects, there is no difference between magic and alchemy that has been studied to a high level."

"For Qixing, alchemy involving evil spirits and chaos is nothing more than a backward technique that should have been eliminated long ago!"

Xia Fan moved the microphone away slightly and curled his lips at the other two people.

As a veteran Qingjian and a well-deserved former core member, Yan Qing would not even know this bit of information. And what she expressed was very clear, that is, the Privy Council looked down upon evil spirits at all, believing that such tactics would only harm the common people and go against the alchemist's righteousness of protecting the world.

Luo leaned closer to the microphone and said, "But the technique used by Fei Nian is indeed very similar to that of Yuan Gui, and Miss Li was also injured by him, so we -"

"What? Li is injured?" Yan Qing's voice suddenly became louder, "Xia Fan, what are you doing?"

Xia Fan said helplessly, "I tried to dissuade her, but she also has her own ideas."

"If you can't protect her, let me do it. How is her injury?"

"Miss Li is fine." Luo took the words gently and winked at Xia Fan, "You can trust the listener's protective ability, but if Fei Nian hadn't hidden this trick, Li wouldn't have been hurt by her. fur."

Xia Fan noticed that the other party had slightly changed the order of events.

But with this change, the nature of the matter has changed.

"Huh... Feinian?" Yan Qing said coldly, "He was promoted by the second prince, not based on He'er's ranking. I don't know much about him, I only know that he and Luo Qingqing Like Fang Xiandao, he is a leader of the younger generation of the family. It is unlikely that such a person can do evil things. But since you said so, he also hurt Li, and I will check it out. "

"How to check?" Xia Fan asked.

"Then you don't have to worry about it. Just take good care of Li." The contact was interrupted.

Everyone could hear that Qing Jian's temper was rising.

"She should have her own connections." Ning Wanjun said with a smile, "After all, if she can secure her second rank position, even if she leaves the Privy Council House, all the relationships she has established in the past will not be severed."

"And the reward for driving Qingjian can only be paid by you." Luo gently patted Xia Fan on the shoulder, "Behave well."
