Chapter 283 Encirclement

For some reason, Xia Fan didn't feel relaxed at all. Instead, he was more cautious than when facing Olina.

This person is the second prince - a second-in-line heir who disappeared from the information when the prince announced that he would hold a coronation ceremony on a certain date. But now he is not only back, but he has also hidden it from all the forces in Shangyuan City. He is now like an invisible man. Faced with such a role, it was really difficult for him to let go.

"So this is all under your control?"

"Control is out of the question," Ning Qianshi shook his head. "The plan against the envoys from the Holy Wing Islands, Langis Oceania and the Sand Boat Republic has been prepared for several months. They have been coveting the Privy Council for a long time, and it is only a matter of time before they reveal their flaws. thing. But..."

Having said this, the second prince's tone dropped, "Orina Okan took advantage of the Lantern Festival to assassinate the prince and put all the blame on the Privy Council, which was beyond our expectations. I have to say that she chose the opportunity very well. , taking advantage of the prince's desire for Fangshi, making us fall into passivity. "

"Therefore, I can only ask Xin Wu to ask you for help, and let you direct the overall situation and buy time for the Privy Council." Ning Qianshi coughed twice, "You can blame me for not informing you in advance, or this move may put you in a dangerous situation. Dangerous situations, but we are alchemists and face challenges all the time. If you want to reach the next level, you cannot avoid all risks. "

Then do I still want to thank you?

Xia Fan disagreed in his heart. Doing well is merit, doing poorly is risk. This sounds reasonable, but risks and merit are determined by people. Once you have such an excuse, even if the next mission is to send the executor to death, the other party will probably be able to say it without any psychological burden.

It's just that he won't show it openly, "I don't mean to blame His Highness."

"It doesn't matter. Anyone who encounters this kind of thing will be depressed. I understand." Ning Qianshi waved his hand, "But you will soon understand why the Privy Council selects core members so carefully."

"What do you mean?" Xia Fan frowned.

"Boy from the Xia family, His Highness means that this accident is enough to serve as an assessment, and your performance has passed." Yan Qing grinned, "After the ceremony, you will be one of the core members of the Privy Council."

"So - what exactly is the ceremony?"

"Don't worry, you will know soon." Ning Qianshi said in a wide voice.

Boom——————!

At this time, a series of explosions suddenly came from above the head, and the strong vibration caused fine dust to fall from the roof.

"It seems that the roundup above has also begun." The second prince raised his head and glanced at the exit, "Let's go over and have a look. By the way -" before taking a step, he suddenly said, "I heard from Xin Wu that you still have Several friends have been assisting you? They should be here too, right? The alchemists who are worthy of your attention should be outstanding. Can you let me meet them?"

coming.

Xia Fan's heart sank. This was what he was most worried about.

Li and Luo Qingqing, one of whom is a demon and the other has a feud with the royal family, cannot expose their identities. Although Qian Yan is a living dead, the Fang family has escaped the control of the Privy Council, so appearing here will inevitably arouse suspicion. Fortunately, Eunuch Li prepared disguise masks for all three of them, so theoretically they would not be recognized by the Privy Council.

"Come out, the underground is safe."

Refusal is the worst option, because the other party's request is reasonable and without a suitable reason, any refusal will only increase suspicion.

"I have met His Highness the Second Prince."

The three of them slowly walked out of the dark hiding place and handed over to Ning Qianshi.

"Uh..." the latter was startled, "Are they all female alchemists? It seems that the talents in Jinxia City... are quite prosperous."

Xia Fan simply accepted it. At this time, misleading the topic is very helpful to distract the other party's ideas. "First of all, I have to correct Your Highness. They are not alchemists because no one has passed the Privy Council's examination. Secondly, they are not Jinxia City." There are many talents, but I chose them specially.”

"I... understand." The second prince showed a clear look.

At this time, the three of them were very different from their original appearance, and they could not even be called very beautiful. In addition, Xia Fan stated that the purpose of his selection was not based on ability but gender, so the other party quickly lost interest, "In this case, Then let’s go up.”

Just when Li passed by Yan Qing, the latter's chain suddenly trembled, and then the tailbone floated up, aiming at the fox demon like a snake.

"Wait a minute!" She suddenly said.

Everyone stopped.

"What's wrong?" The second prince at the front turned around.

Xia Fan stretched out his hand to clamp the three copper wire pendants hidden in his sleeves, while casting silent glances at Luo Qingqing and Qian Yan.

In an instant, a consensus was reached between them.

Three opponents, one for each!

Yan Qing walked toward Li with squinted eyes, her eyes filled with coldness, as if she was not looking at the Qi-sensing person, but a prey trapped in the net, "This person——"

Halfway through, she suddenly got stuck.

"Huh? How is this person?" Ning Qianshi asked with some confusion.

She held the chain and pressed the tip down, "Uh, no... Your Highness, I just think she looks a bit like someone I knew before."

"You mean, before the Wanjinglou incident?"

"Exactly, Your Highness."

Ning Qianshi's tone was more sighing, "Yan Qing, something like that will never happen again. This is what I promised you. After the ceremony is over, you can have a good chat with this person..."

"No... no need, I don't need to rely on illusions to paralyze myself." Yan Qing instantly returned to normal, "Your Highness, let's go."

The four looked at each other.

Xia Fan even felt sweat coming out of his palms.

Just when the other party was less than 30 centimeters away from Li, he almost triggered the shock technique-if the other party's denial was half a second later, the underground center would probably be filled with the surging high-voltage current.

But...why did that person change his tone temporarily?

This question lingered in everyone's mind.

But now is not the time to entangle this. Everyone came to the outside of the Recording Department Hall together and found that it was already in chaos.

Olina, in the form of a dragon, was fighting with a group of people. There were blazing flames everywhere. She tried to fly several times, but was suppressed by a strange gust of wind and could not leave the ground.

And the first person who caught Xia Fan's eyes was actually the Privy Council Feathered Clothes "Qian".

"Isn't Qian... imprisoned in the palace?" Xia Fan asked.

"It is always the rules, not the power, that can hold him back." The second prince said calmly, "Before, he was bound by the royal rules, so he was imprisoned. Now, the thing that trapped him no longer exists."

"Xunshu, Fengmanlou!"

With Yu Linglong's clear cry, whirlwinds rolled up on the flat ground, pulling out the broken floor and the foundation stone, and smashing towards Olina. Her huge body was now covered with wounds, and even her wings had several large holes, which were obviously caused by Yu Linglong.

And Qian had been attracting the dragon's attacks, and seemed to be not afraid of the black fireballs and sharp claws she spit out. Although he had suffered fatal injuries several times, he was as if nothing had happened, jumping up and down with the same agility. Moreover, Xia Fan noticed that he barely used any magic, and his strength alone was comparable to that of the dragon-form Olina. Every time he punched, it was like a heavy hammer hitting a city gate. The huge impact even created waves on Olina's rough skin. Wherever the waves reached, the dragon skin cracked and blood splashed, and at the same time, the opponent let out a painful whine.

Xia Fan realized that they did not kill her, but deliberately weakened Olina's vitality in preparation for capturing her alive.

Sure enough, facing the siege of Yuyi and Zhenshou, even the dragon became tired. After a failed bite, Olina raised her neck and howled to the sky.

That was not a simple roar, but some indescribable words!

"Here it comes!" The second prince opened his eyes expectantly, "The true power of the Western Extreme Monster, let me see, will the legendary gods bless you?"
