Heaven's Formula

At first Wu Yueyao didn't take this matter to heart, and only wanted to do her best to fulfill her duties and transport more supplies back to the evil horse, but now she realized that the evil horse did not make good use of this covenant at all. Not too close, but too far away!

She heard that there are already a large number of elf apprentices in the Mechanism Bureau, and there are more or less elves in the Jinxia army, beach rice fields, and even the affairs bureau—they are integrating into all aspects of Jinxia City as learners. Even the high priest himself has mastered the excitation principle of the new weapon.In contrast, the evil horse came earlier, but got nothing but the deal itself.

Now some people in my hometown are questioning, even this covenant should not be signed?

Wu Yueyao felt an indescribable absurdity and irony!

Gradually, a thought that she had never thought of emerged from the bottom of her heart.

Whether it is Dongsheng or Yama, perhaps they are no longer adapted to this era-to the west, the fleets of foreign empires are expanding their territories and invincible.On the east side, Jinxia City is full of vitality, but there are no aristocratic families, and the vitality of the people can almost be seen with the naked eye.

Even if Yama wins over Dongsheng, is it really a complete victory?

The princes are still princes, and the family is still the family.

Even if the Queen ruled the entire territory, there would be no change in the clans under her rule.

Perhaps, it was just one Corrupter beating another Corrupter.

If they want their hometown not to be left behind by the times, they...maybe need a change.

As soon as this idea popped up, it quickly grew in the heart of this still immature princess, and it was hard to erase it.

4 Chapter Eighty One World

Just when Ning Wanjun was about to try again, a dark figure suddenly appeared above people's heads—Olina Okan stretched her wide wings, whizzed past the martial arts arena, and slid down to the center of the villa.

The princess turned to look at Xia Fan, who nodded at her.

"Let's go." Then Xia Fan said to Yu Linglong.

"Go?" Yu Linglong hadn't recovered from the dispute with the shadow, "Where are you going?"

"The living room." Xia Fan got up and said, "It's Jinxia."

Like the intelligence center that attacked Huiyang City before, Chi and Olina's double relay can complete a cross-state round trip in the shortest time.When the two dragons were changing shifts at the border of Shenzhou, Xia Fan had already known the news that Yuyi was about to arrive through the audio device.

"What?" Yu Linglong showed a shocked expression, "He also came to Jinxia? How could it be so fast?"

"I don't know the specific details, but...the core of the Privy Council has obviously deteriorated."

……

In the reception hall of the mountain villa, the high-level leaders of the two warring parties were almost gathered here. On one side was the Jinxia faction dominated by Ning Wanjun and Xia Fan, and on the other side were Gan, Yan Qing and Yu Linglong.Although the second prince Ning Qianshi and several other Qingjian guards are missing, the place where Yuyi is present can already represent more than half of the capital of Gyeonggi.

In order to record this meaningful meeting, the Propaganda Department of the Affairs Bureau also sent Luo You'er and Yu Shuangxue to follow up in real time, so that they can be reported in the "Shen Jin Weekly" later.

Luo You'er is now one of the persons in charge of the Propaganda Department, and Yu Shuangxue has also become a special writer for the weekly newspaper because she has written several articles for the newspaper and the response has been good.

To be honest, Yu Shuangxue was a little nervous when she received the notice.

She has lived in Shangyuan City for so long, so she naturally knows what the Privy Council Green Sword and Yuyi mean—in a sense, they are people who live in a different world from her.The sons of aristocratic families in Gyeonggi, wealthy businessmen and gentry can easily control their fate, but even the top of these people can only bow their heads and avoid it in front of Qingjian Yuyi.

In addition, the Privy Council is planning to start a full-scale war with Jinxia, ​​and all kinds of troops have gathered on the border of Shenzhou. She can imagine what kind of scene such a meeting will be like with her eyes closed.According to common sense, the two factions will inevitably confront each other, fight with each other, or fight directly in the villa.

The duel of high-level alchemists must be called earth-shaking and the sun and the moon are dark. If she, an ordinary person, is involved in it, one can imagine her fate.But even so, she still accepted the assignment from the Bureau - after all, this war is closely related to everyone, and with Huo Ying as an example, she didn't want to escape.

However, the actual situation in the living room surprised Yu Shuangxue. Not to mention the smell of gunpowder, the atmosphere at the scene was harmonious, and the high-ranking Yuyi envoy looked no different from an ordinary middle-aged uncle. A sense of homelessness.

"The general situation is like this..." Gan Changchang sighed, his injuries have been basically healed by the rabbit demon, but Qi Hai still needs time to recover, so that he seems a little weak when he speaks, "Bai Zhan has become a new The whereabouts of the envoys Yuyi, He'er, Ning Qianshi, Weihuang and Duyelong are all missing, judging from the results, the goal that the Privy Council has been striving for has been a complete failure."

"It's not your fault. Ending the imperial power and sweeping up the aristocratic family made us complacent, but we forgot to examine ourselves."

"Let me say that this is all evil, and Fei Nian is the culprit!"

Yan Qing and Yu Linglong took turns to comfort her.

"As Yuyi, I should be responsible for this no matter what." Gan shook his head, "If I hadn't pursued the practice of staying away from government affairs before, I wouldn't have allowed the evil forces to infiltrate to this point."

"What has happened can't be changed, the key is what to do in the future." Ning Wanjun said, "Do you still think Jinxia City is the number one enemy of the Privy Council?"

With a wry smile, "Of course not. The most urgent task now is to prevent the outbreak of war and avoid unnecessary casualties. As for the relationship between the Privy Council and Jinxia, ​​it may be possible to form a trend of cooperation and mutual assistance in the future—"

"No, the Privy Council must be banned." Xia Fan interrupted him.

Hearing this, Yu Shuangxue's hand holding the pen couldn't help shaking slightly.

"Do you have to do this..." Yu Linglong whispered.

"Well said, there has never been such a thing as a smile to wipe out a grudge!" Shadow clenched his fists to show his support, "When dealing with an enemy, one should cut the grass and root out the root, and should not stop, but suffer chaos instead!"

Gan's reaction was calmer than everyone expected, "Can I hear the reason?"

"The governance philosophy of Jinxia City is fundamentally different from that of the Privy Council. The two are incompatible and cannot coexist." Xia Fan said bluntly, "The Privy Council is an organization dominated by alchemists, and the philosophy they follow is also alchemists first. The cultivation of qi-sensing people is the top priority. But for Jinxia, ​​qi-sensing people and ordinary people should not be treated differently, the leader can be an alchemist, or an ordinary person who has no ability to sense qi."

Gan fell silent for a while.

Xia Fan continued, "As long as the Privy Council exists, it will hinder Jinxia's policy promotion. If the Privy Council reforms and tries to get closer to Jinxia, ​​it will be two parallel administrative centers, which will also weaken Jinxia's strength. After all, World War I is unavoidable. Besides...this system has lasted for hundreds of years, so it is time for a complete renovation."

"So you think so..." After a long time, Qianchang sighed, "I heard from Yu Linglong that a large number of awakened people appeared in Jinxia Academy."

"She didn't lie to you, which is actually beyond my expectation." Xia Fan admitted, "However, these children will still complete their studies according to the arrangements of the Bureau, instead of gathering them together and forming a special department to manage it. As for what they want to do in the future, it’s up to them to decide.”

"Irreplaceable benefits, Jinxia has them."

"It's a free city."

Yu Shuangxue's mind suddenly echoed what the other party said.

For some reason, there was a mist in his vision.

She hurriedly pretended to be indifferent and blinked, but the ups and downs of her mood were hard to calm down.

That's right... She and Yuyi did live in completely different worlds, and the people they usually came into contact with and what they talked about had nothing to do with each other.

But now it is different.

What Xia Fan had heard was repeated in front of Yu Yi now.

At least at this moment, even the aloof Yuyi is in the same world as her.

"The Qiguo Privy Council is not a separate institution, it is a part of the Seven Stars." There was a hint of worry in Gan's tone, "If you plan to completely abolish the Privy Council, the Seven Stars will probably not stay out of it."

Chapter 481 Attack and Defensive Potential

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

It is not a suitable example to compare Qiguo’s Gyeonggi General Mansion to the Privy Council of other countries—after the Wanjinglou Incident, the Royalist faction and the Seven-Star faction broke completely, and a fight decimated the alchemists’ camp, making them the only The Tianshu envoy almost fell, and had to be transferred to He'er.The overall strength of the Privy Council has not been fully recovered until today.

But nothing like that happened in those countries.

Especially Xu Guo, as the initiator of the Seven Stars Alliance, his Privy Council not only has two immortal art inheritors, Tianquan Envoy and Yuheng Envoy, but also four Yuyis and more than ten Qingjians, whose strength far surpasses that of Qi Guo.If the five families united against Jinxia, ​​it would definitely be an unimaginable storm.

"How about...or leave the Privy Council for a while?" Shadow flinched and changed his tone.

Xia Fan's expression didn't change much. He glanced at the third princess first, and then he replied, "That's the problem. I have fully understood the purpose of the Seven Stars Privy Council when I was in Shangyuan City. When Jinxia can do better than Qixing, will all alchemists still support Qixing?"

Qian's brow moved.

"I believe that not all the people in the world who are sensitive to fame and wealth are those who are obsessed with fame and wealth," Xia Fan continued, "as long as they haven't forgotten their original intentions, they should understand whether Jinxia City is right or wrong. If they have lost their direction, then don’t we have to fight against it? Simply put, when the Seven Stars Privy Council cannot accept someone who is doing better than it, and wants to destroy it just because it violates its will, it is no longer what it used to be. the Privy Council."

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

Gan was silent for a long time, and finally showed a wry smile, "You seem to be asking me every sentence, whether the 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...shouldn't mind having an extra mouth to eat, right?"

"As long as you put in the work, it doesn't matter how many mouths you have."

Faced with this kind of answer, how could I know that I couldn’t do it 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 better than the Privy Council in the future.” it is good!"

"I promise, all your hard work will be rewarded." Xia Fan also laughed, "Welcome to Jinxia City."

Everyone applauded involuntarily.

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

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

The road is no longer alone.

"Hey, tell me quickly!" Shadow yelled, "Yan Qing was the first one to arrive, and now she has shown her attitude, why are you still in a daze!"

"Oh." Yu Linglong slowly raised her hand, still hesitating how to speak, Xia Fan's eyes had already turned to her.

"Because you were recovering from your injuries, you never had a chance to talk about it. Now I hope you can make up for it." He said frankly, "Yu Linglong, Jinxia City also welcomes you to join."

Is that so... 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 beside the princess.

"I see." Ning Wanjun nodded, and then looked at the people present, "Everyone, according to the report from the front post, all the troops stationed in Binshui County have already dispatched and are entering Shenzhou through Jiujiang."

Immediately there was a burst of discussion in the hall.

"So fast?" Yu Linglong asked in surprise, "According to the Privy Council's plan, the dispatch of materials will not be completed until the end of April, and it's only the middle of the month now."

"Is it because the evil forces can't wait?" Gan pondered for a moment, stood up and cupped his hands at 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 his thoughts.

"That's right. I don't believe that Baizhan has the ability to control the entire army without the presence of Ning Qianshi and other high-level officials." Gan Jiang said his plan, "Most people probably don't know what happened in Huiyang City. If I tell the story of Fei Nian and Bai Zhan, the war will not break out."

"Things will happen abnormally... Sin, if you can't stop the army, the situation will become very dangerous."

"That's true, so I'm only planning to meet with the general before 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. It is natural to eliminate the war without bloodshed Best, if not, then I will follow Jinxia's plan to fight."

Xia Fan nodded slightly - in other words, Yuyi's plan was to add a link to persuade the two sides to surrender before the two sides fought, and it became a stable profit, and it would not lose money if it failed.Dialogue before the formation can effectively avoid risks. As long as Jinxia's army is in the rear, the enemy should have nothing to do.

Even if the persuasion fails, it would be a good thing to shake the morale of the Privy Council.

Yu Linglong pondered for a while, "Is there such a possibility... Ning Qianshi has completely sided with Baizhan? If the second prince came forward, it would not be so difficult to control the entire army."

"It's okay if Baizhan didn't become a Tianshu envoy, but he has already 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 resolutely said.

"Is the Second Prince so loyal to the Tianshu envoy?"

Yuyi sighed softly, "They... used to hit it off."

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

Ning Wanjun stood up, "Since the basic direction has been determined, everyone should act now!"

……

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

Residents in towns and villages near the border of Liuzhou have already evacuated, not giving the enemy any chance to replenish on the spot; flat ice boats are lined up beside the inland river wharf, continuously sending mechanism beasts and combat resources to the front line.

The main army totaled more than [-] people and was divided into two groups, stationed between Anshen City and Baihe City. One was led by Ning Wanjun, and the other was commanded by Xu Gueran.The two armies communicated through audio equipment, and maintained a high degree of consistency in action, almost no different from an army.

Xia Fan led the team of alchemists as a mobile force to adapt to changing situations - his team included You Chi and Olina, plus Li, Luo Qingqing, Yan Qing, Ning Qing and Kong Xuanzi.The configuration happens to be that one dragon leads three people, and they can reach any battlefield on the border within an hour of flying at full speed.

The Qiguo coalition army has as many as 15 people in terms of numbers. After entering Shenzhou, they quickly divided into five groups and headed towards the main towns of Shenzhou. The main force of nearly 6 people went southeast along Jiujiang. Going forward, it seems that the intention is to point directly at Jinxia City!

Chapter 482 Meeting the Enemy

……

In the camp of Jinxia's main force, the staff department is formulating countermeasures.

The various movements of the enemy's army are drawn in detail on the map, including the approximate number of people, the leading generals, and the direction of advance.It was the first time for Ning Wanjun to fight such a war. Whether it was the conquest of Shenzhou or the confrontation with the imperial fleet, the information was not clear to this extent. The aerial reconnaissance of two dragons and one bird made the battlefield transparent. checkerboard.

"The intention of the Privy Council is obvious, that is, they don't want to procrastinate." Staff Officer He pointed to the map and analyzed, "It seems that the side troops that were separated out wanted to capture the town, but in fact they were all fighting for the 6 troops. The main force opened up a safe space to prevent us from double-teaming them from both sides. Once we garrison Jinxia, ​​the side troops will naturally be able to take other towns in Shenzhou smoothly, and if we separate the guards, Jinxia may be defeated in one fell swoop ——Especially now that most of the southern city wall has been demolished, if the enemy attacks regardless of casualties, we will also be in trouble."

This analysis can be said to be reasonable and reasonable, and basically no problems can be picked out. The core of marching operations lies in "action".According to the combat intention, you can either fight steadily or go straight to Huanglong. Generals throughout the ages have only these two options.As for how many tricks to set up and how many doubts to set up, it depends on the general's own experience and talent.

Ning Wanjun knew that this war might determine her and Jinxia City's future fate.I thought it would be a long process that would take at least ten years or half a lifetime, and it would not be uncommon for me to die halfway. I didn't expect that after Xia Fan came, the situation would advance by leaps and bounds. In less than a year, the Privy Council was pushed to the brink of desperation. , even if she was a person who experienced it personally, she felt a little overwhelmed.

Facing this final battle, Ning Wanjun felt a rare sense of nervousness.

She took two deep breaths to calm down her ups and downs, "Does the staff have any opinion on this arrangement of the Privy Council?"

"Honestly speaking...it's a bit strange." Staff Officer He hesitated before saying, "A quick attack is all about surprises, the more unexpected the more effective. But they should know that Jinxia has a communication instrument like a sound instrument, and a quick attack is not the best strategy." A good choice. On the contrary, the Privy Council has the upper hand in terms of numbers, alchemists, and even resources, so you can choose a steady and steady approach, and it is safer to erode Shenzhou a little bit."

In winter, Xia Fan proposed to annex the entire territory of Shenzhou and isolate the flames of war from Jinxia, ​​also out of this consideration.The more towns the enemy needs to capture, the more time they can buy their base camp.It is best for the two sides to form a tug-of-war and fully utilize Jinxia City's hematopoietic potential.

"It should be a problem with the command." Ning Wanjun pondered, "According to Qian, Baizhan's ability to control the army is insufficient, and perhaps this is the reason why they resorted to quick attacks."

"I don't quite understand... what are the benefits of doing this." He Guicai rubbed his forehead, "Since Bai Zhan has already received the inheritance of the Tianshu envoy, shouldn't he return to Liuzhou at this time and switch from offense to defense? It takes time to stabilize the power and suppress the original leadership core, right?"

To put it bluntly, after losing many green swords and feather clothes in a row, the senior officials of the Qiguo Privy Mansion have become useless. If you want to maintain the organization at this time, you can only rely on the power of Qixing.And it just so happened that Seven Stars supported the replacement of Tianshu envoys as soon as possible, and a Tianshu envoy whose strength level was not as good as Wen Wen's was completely worthless in their eyes.

If Baizhan seizes this opportunity, with the support of the Seven Stars, and then promotes a few more Bairen and guards to enter the core layer, it may be possible to stabilize the situation and become the highest in charge of Qiguo Privy Council in one fell swoop.

But he didn't.
