Heaven's Formula

Undoubtedly, this plan was definitely not something he came up with right away. At least from the perspective of feasibility, he couldn't find any faults. The problems of corruption and private sales that may arise have also been taken into account.

But the biggest question is, what good does it do for the other party to do so?Not to mention that you can't get much money from the search, and you may even lose a fortune because of employment problems, which is a typical thankless effort.

After all, it is impossible for them to stay in Tsushima Mansion forever.

In other words, the hearts of the people here mean nothing to Her Royal Highness.

When a new ruler takes over, everything will go back to the way it was.

Of course... maybe I don't need to think so deeply at all.Jiang Chuan Keiichiro moved his lips, but in the end he could only show a wry smile. No matter how good the plan is, there must be food to support it.No matter what the other party's idea is, the Tsushima Mansion will not be able to draw so much food.

"His Royal Highness is merciful..." He bent down, "But we really don't have that much food in storage, unless you can persuade other princes to sell food to you, or..."

Or adjust grain from the mainland for assistance.

But he didn't dare to count on the latter even with his best imagination, so he simply didn't go on.

"Is there no food? I don't think so." The princess stretched out her hand and patted it.

The door slid open, and a fat man with a lot of ties was pushed in.

Jiang Chuan Guiichiro turned his head, and couldn't help being horrified, whoever this is, if not the city lord! ?

Not only was he tied tightly, but a rag was stuffed in his mouth, so he could only make a muddy hum.And the one who escorted him was a beautiful fox girl, the long brown ears on her head were particularly eye-catching.

Shouldn't the Kido City Lord have fled long ago?

And when he left, he was protected by the guards, how could he be caught by the Jinxia people so soon?

Xia Fan secretly winked at Li, indicating that it was a good job.

Since the twin tails grew out, Li's combat ability has suddenly improved to a new level. Whether it is the Kanjutsu or the physical strength after transformation, it is not the same as before.The moment the city lord left the city with his family, he was also noticed by the scouting team. After contacting through the audio device, Olina and Chi immediately flew over, carrying Li and Shanhui to the ambush site—despite the ambush There were only four of them, but under the conditions of one-way transparency on the battlefield, they defeated the city lord's private army of hundreds of people almost instantly by doing mental calculations or not.

In fact, when Li started with an illusion that covered the entire road and included all the targets, there was no suspense in this battle.The Kido castellan couldn't recover from the illusion until he was caught in the sky by Chi.

"Besides him, we have also caught many escapees. Judging from the size of the convoy accompanying them, there should be a lot of food at home." The princess continued, "I believe that in the face of life and death, they will be very happy to hand over food." Give out your own food."

Jiang Chuan Keiichiro swallowed.

He suddenly had a bad premonition.

"However, I don't know exactly how many of these people's family properties, where the villas and farmland are located, and I don't have the time to check these things." The princess looked around the crowd, "Everyone is in Tsushima Mansion Those who are worthy should understand somewhat, since you have sworn allegiance to me, this matter is left to you."

As soon as the princess finished speaking, Jiang Chuan felt a burning illusion behind him.

He turned his head cautiously, and saw Kido-sama staring at them, the anger in his eyes was self-evident.

Even if it was Princess Qiguo who really wanted to deprive the Kido family property, the city lord would not dare to direct this anger at the "culprit". This difference made Jiang Chuan feel a sense of absurdity.

"Don't worry, these people will cooperate with your work." The princess said confidently, "Then what's your answer?"

There was a moment of silence in the lobby.

"Oh? Is this what you call allegiance?" After a while, the other party's tone became more and more serious, "Jiang Chuan Keiichiro... I thought you dared to stand up and refute me just now, but you still cared about other things in your heart. Now you have to choose Following Kido Oriku, will you abandon the people of Ma Mansion?"

Jiang Chuan clenched his fists. Due to his background, he often dealt with the residents of the city, so he naturally knew the hardships of their lives.When dealing with tax issues in the past, he would also think of ways to reduce the burden on the poor and farmers, but the premise of all this is that his own interests will not be damaged, which is different from the current situation.

Once he participates in the family raid, he may immediately become a thorn in the eyes of the big and powerful families who want to get rid of it. This result is even more serious than betrayal-because he betrayed not only the owner of Mudo City, but also everyone in Dongsheng Kingdom. superiors.

Others cast sympathetic looks at Jiang Chuan.

At this moment, the princess obviously intends to treat him as a leader.

The Mudo city lord can use property to pay for his life, so what else can they trade?If the answer is not good, the end may be worse than that of the city lord himself.

"Your Highness... I have something I want to ask." After thinking hard for a while, Jiang Chuan dared to say.

"What will happen if you don't agree?" The princess shrugged, "Don't worry, capital crimes are not necessary, but your family wealth will also be included in the flat food plan, so just use another way to contribute to me."

Hearing that they could not die, the others breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Chuan shook his head and said, "Your Highness, what I want to ask is not this... but if one day you return to Qi Kingdom, can I go with the ship as a subject?"

Kido Castellan's eyes widened immediately!

The princess raised her eyebrows in surprise, then giggled, "You want to become an official in Jinxia?"

"Yes." Jiang Chuan bowed his head deeply again.

This is the only way he can think of to survive—that is to completely become a part of the princess' power.He had also heard rumors about the mainland. Officials there were no longer servants of the local princes. They were appointed and dismissed by the imperial court, and they also served the entire kingdom.

"Then you have to perform well." The princess said with great interest, "Anyone who can serve as an official in Jinxia is an outstanding candidate. If your task is done well enough, this requirement is not impossible."

"I am willing to do my best for His Highness." Jiang Chuan replied loudly without hesitation.

Chapter 845 The New Queen

Three days later, Tsushima Mansion welcomed a special group of guests.

"Has the owner really changed here?" Nina Hong sat on the horse, looking around in surprise.Even after confirming it many times with the audio device in advance, she still felt a little unbelievable.

After a war, a city will often become devastated. People dare not go out at this time, lest disasters come from the sky. Desolation and depression are generally the main tone after the war.But here, Nakihong saw a completely different scene. Not only were there residents on the street, but most of them were also smiling, as if it was a festival-not only was the whole city not affected by the war, but it was more severe than other places. Vibrant.

"Shouldn't you and I have gotten used to this unreasonable situation?" Wu Yueyao showed a rare smile.Since taking over the position of queen, she has been under increasing pressure. The capture of Nina Qing made her sleepless at night. It was not until the news that someone escaped from the prison in Bumi Mansion rekindled her hope.She hadn't experienced this kind of moment where she could relax her heartstrings for a long time.

"Master Wuyue, let's hurry up," Nina Hong flicked his horsewhip impatiently, "Na Qing is still waiting for us to rescue him!"

Wu Yueyao nodded, urging everyone to speed up and keep up.

After all, that was her wish.

Soon, the Great Witch and her party met Xia Fan, Ning Wanjun and others in the City Lord's Pavilion.

This is the first time after half a year that the two sides met again, but the location was changed to Yama Island.

Seeing Xia Fan, Wu Yueyao's heart couldn't be restrained. It was this person who reached out to her when she was most in danger, and helped Queen Qianye break free from the desperate situation of subjugation.Although he has changed places now, he is still his biggest reliance.

Wuyue took a deep breath, temporarily suppressed her emotions, and asked straight to the point to rescue Nina Qing.

"That is to say, you only know that someone escaped from prison, but you can't be sure that person is Nina Qing?" Xia Fan pondered after hearing what happened.

"I dare not say [-]% certainty, but based on the clues from all parties, the possibility that Ning Qing has escaped from the prison is as high as [-]%." Wu Yueyao said frankly, "The reason why we can't confirm it is because we can't think of any reason for the temple to take action. Rescue people. Now it is also heavily surrounded by long-term troops, and our hands cannot approach at all. Judging from the situation, it is only a matter of time before they forcefully enter the temple to search."

What she was most fortunate about was that she didn't give up that sliver of hope, and sent a small team headed by Nakihong to infiltrate the city to inquire about the news of the captives.It was this move that allowed her to learn about the prison break in the first place.When Ninahong brought the news back, Jinxia's side also sent the news that they were about to land, and Wu Yueyao immediately made a decision to rush to Tsushima Mansion.

"I see..." Xia Fan nodded.Although the statements of the eyewitnesses that day proved that the escaped person was very close to the green-faced ghost, considering that Queen Yama had no friendship with Bumifu Temple, the other party didn't say anything to death.However, for the current Jinxia Army, whether Nina Qing is in a temple or in a prison, it will not have an essential impact.As long as the green-faced ghost is still alive, he will definitely be able to fish people out.

"Don't worry, I will go to deal with this matter myself." Xia Fan promised.

The distance between the two places is not too far, and they can be reached within a day by using the Feilong Express.If he only let Li go, he still felt a little worried, but if he went with him, he would be safe.

May Yao let out a long breath.

"Thank you, Master Xia!"

"Naqing is also Jinxia's friend, so naturally we can't just sit back and watch her fall into the enemy's hands." Ning Wanjun comforted, "You should have told us about this earlier, so that we can act at sea."

Wu Yue showed a trace of shame, "I have caused too much trouble for you, and even raising troops to march against King Dongsheng was a decision I made on my own—"

"Do you regret doing this?" Xia Fan interrupted.

Wuyue Yao thought for a while, then slowly shook her head, "Even if I do it again, I will still make the same decision. From the moment I returned to Yama Island, I felt that change was imminent."

"Then Jinxia's help can't be considered troublesome," he smiled slightly, "besides, all these aids come at a price."

Wu Yueyao said sternly, "Please tell me. As long as the Yamaguchi can afford it, I am willing to bear it."

Xia Fan and the princess looked at each other, paused for a while before replying, "First of all, you have to become the new evil horse queen."

The big witch couldn't help being stunned, "But Master Qianye..."

"I know that you are loyal to Queen Qianye, and you are not willing to seize the power in her hands, but doing so will put her on the fire, and it will also give those aristocratic families and wealthy families who feel dissatisfied a chance to take advantage of it." Ning Wanjun Then he said, "I was also born in the palace, and it's not uncommon for this kind of thing to happen. Power should be held in the right hands. If you become a queen, you will naturally be able to protect Chiba, not to mention that you have this qualification. I just don't want to."

"The reason why Jinxia is willing to support the evil horse is obviously for your sake." Xia Fan crossed his arms, "If you still want to return the power to Queen Qianye after the matter is completed, then who will guarantee that Jinxia will be in the evil horse?" The interests of the country of Malaysia? Who will supervise the implementation of the covenants signed in the past? You should be able to understand the reason why you should not stop and suffer chaos."

"Master Wuyue... No, His Majesty Wuyue, I support you in doing so." Ninahong said seriously, "Although Lord Chiba has been kind to you in nurturing and caring for you, she cannot change the status quo of Yamaguchi. You are the only one who can do this."

May Haruka was silent for a long time this time.

When she raised her head again, there was only determination in her eyes, "I understand."

There is no turning back on this road.

She also had a vague premonition that when she took that step back then, the relationship between the two would never return to the way it was before.

"Very good." Xia Fan nodded gratified, "As long as you convey this wish, I think your followers will have more confidence."

"Actually, I came this time for another matter." Wu Yueyao calmed down and turned the topic back to the current battle, "My people have basically been able to determine the destination of the Qixing Privy Council's eastward advance, or Say...they've arrived."

"Where is it?" Xia Fan asked.

"Moon Shadow Temple in Rising Sun Mountain."

"Wait, Qi Xing is making such a big move just for a temple?" Ning Wanjun asked incredulously.

"We also found it unbelievable, and even thought it was a problem with the intelligence. But another news is worth considering..." Wu Yue paused, "That is, Chishan City, where An's family is located, is being besieged by the Privy Council, but King Dongsheng Not only did they have no intention of rescue, but they also sent a troop to the south, and from the route, it can also reach the Sunrise Mountain area."

8Chapter 16 One touch

"Hmm..." Xia Fan stared at the brief map and fell silent.

This mountainous area is located in the narrow central part of the Yama Island. There are two peaks, connected together like a curved spine, but it is very short and does not cause too much hindrance to east-west traffic.Therefore, when people cross Yama Island, they usually bypass both ends of the mountainous area, which can also be seen from the distribution of official roads.

The temple sits in a depression on the ridge.

From a strategic point of view, this place is neither a transportation center nor a high point for commanding the enemy, so there is really no need to fight for it.But Xia Fan also believed that the Qixing Privy Council did not fail to make this judgment—since the other party came, there must be some conspiracy.In addition, King Dongsheng is also marching into the mountains, so this place must be extraordinary.

After experiencing the trial of ascending the Dragon Pagoda, he already knew that there are still giant magical artifacts like buildings in this world, or that everyone lives in an ultimate magical artifact.However, some facilities were made by the escape committee, such as the escape tower, while some were of unknown origin, at least there was no record left in Cicron's database.

He had reason to suspect that the so-called Moon Shadow Temple was also a magic weapon built in the early days.

"Are there any records or legends about this temple in Yamaguchi?"

"That... I don't know very well." Wu Yueyao was a little ashamed, "Yama Kingdom lost the central region a long time ago, and Master Chiba was also urgently selected as Queen before the previous Queen died of illness... For a long time Everyone has no time to think about things other than survival."

"But this temple seems to have existed very early." Nina Hong added, "We don't know anything about it except its name. After learning about Qixing's whereabouts, we also sent people to ask the local woodcutter and Orion, in the end, they don’t know much more than us. Because no one worships, this temple is already very dilapidated, and only those who have to spend the night in the mountains will use it as a foothold.”

Barren Mountain Ancient Temple, all the elements are here...

Xia Fan pursed his lips. If he had known this information earlier, he could have flown to Moon Shadow Temple alone to inquire about it, but now that Qixing has taken the first step to occupy this place, it would not be so appropriate for him to rush in again.

After all, the Qixing Privy Council has a large number of talents, and it cannot be compared with its previous opponents. This trip will inevitably meet a large number of high-level alchemists.

"This information is very important." Xia Fan concluded, "The main purpose of Jinxia coming to Yama Island is to prevent the Qixing Privy Council from realizing her plan. No matter what secrets are hidden in the temple, we at least know the enemy The goal, the next step is to follow and catch up."

"We can cooperate with the Jinxia Army to approach the mountainous area from the east." Wu Yueyao immediately stated, "Although there are not many troops willing to obey my dispatch, there are still 5000 to [-] people. Whether it is to intercept the Dongsheng Army or besiege the Seven Star Army no problem."

The army of the princes on Yama Island is not large, and 5000 people is probably all the wealth that the other party can get.

"Very well, I'll thank you then." Xia Fan nodded slightly.At that time, the main force of Qixing, Dongsheng, Queen and Jinxia will gather in one place, and this battle will completely establish the situation on Yama Island.

……

Bumifu Temple.

The surrounding streets were already surrounded by layers of city lord's guards, and hundreds of torches illuminated the night like day. Under such circumstances, let alone leaving the compound quietly, even a bird flying out would be noticed.

One day after the search order was issued, Yuanjiu Shidi had already shown obvious impatience. Not only did he come to the courtyard to negotiate in person, the soldiers also began to move around and tried to break into the gate of the front yard with weapons many times.If it weren't for the monks and soldiers holding spears and other weapons and refusing to give up an inch, I'm afraid they would have swarmed in already.

In such a situation, it is the first time that Bumi Temple has been established.

"Master abbot, the city lord has issued a death order, and he only gives you one hour." The envoy who came to persuade him was very embarrassed, "If you don't hand over the medical monk again, he will order to storm the monastery. "

"It just doesn't make sense!"

"This temple is a sacred place of Buddhism, even the city lord is not allowed to trespass, isn't Master Yuanjiu afraid of offending Buddhism?"

"The rules cannot be broken, and I hope you will act with caution!"

Hearing the envoy's words, all the Dharma protectors scolded one after another.

"Hey..." the abbot shook his head, "My old monk has already said that the monk has long since fled in fear of crime, and his whereabouts are unknown. You can't find him here. Naturally, the temple is also responsible for this matter, and we will definitely make an apology later. plan, I also hope that the city lord Haihan."

"God monk... no, I mean the abbot, since he is gone, you can let the soldiers come in to check." The envoy also said anxiously, "Why bother to be so frozen, Master Yuanjiu also needs to give help to the mainland. Let me explain one by one."

The abbot simply closed his eyes and stopped talking.

The envoy stomped his feet and had no choice but to leave first, "I will convey your intentions to your lord first, but to be honest... this deadline will probably not change."

Not long after the envoy left, the guardians all changed their expressions in unison.

"What should I do? It seems that the guy from ten years ago will not give up this time."

"Does he really dare? Other monasteries can see it."

"Usually, Yuan Jiu would definitely give up, but this time I'm afraid he can't help himself... If he offends the Buddhist sect, he will only be unable to become the city lord in the future, and if he violates the Seven Stars, he may be a dead end."

"...Master Abbot, what do you think should be done?"
