In the reception hall, after listening to Xia Fan's narration, the princess and Wu Yueyao looked solemn.

"It's been almost a hundred years since the founding of Daqi. I thought it was common for local government to have corruption, but they always surprise me." After a moment of silence, Ning Wanjun smiled silently, his eyes filled with coldness. .

"The Wang family must have put in a lot of effort behind this." Xia Fan said calmly, "I'm just a little concerned about why a city that doesn't even have a sewer built so many winding things underground."

"When Yongguo was still there, it was true that many facilities were built underground. This place used to be an ancient battlefield. Maybe the authenticity was left over from that time."

"Please allow me to interrupt the two of you." Wu Yueyao interjected, "You guys want to help Donghai, and I should have fully supported you, but I'm afraid the current situation is not optimistic."

"Because the An family is also here?" Xia Fan asked.

"Yes." The big witch nodded seriously, "I said before that this family is good at yin and yang, and often drives evil spirits to fight, so it is difficult to measure the strength of an An family. If you do it rashly, you may lose something .”

"Actually, what you want to say is that you are afraid of heavy losses?" Ning Wanjun said without hesitation. Whether it's attacking the Donghai Gang or weakening Anjia's power, it should be a happy thing for Yamaguchi. Even so, the other party still wanted to dissuade her for one reason, that is, this bone was really hard to chew, so difficult that the big witch was afraid that she would lose the ally she had found with great difficulty.

"I don't mean to underestimate the Privy Council, but Anjia's magic is really hard to guard against."

The princess looked at Xia Fan, "I don't know what you think? The plan is always not as fast as the change. Even if you want to stop, I won't say anything."

"Your Highness also thinks this hand is not easy to chop?"

"It's not just the hands, it's become a leg of the Wang family." Ning Wanjun shrugged, "If it's placed in the outskirts, it might be able to use tricks, but the other party is all hidden in one place, and there are people who are sensitive. If we attack head-on, the outcome is indeed unpredictable. There is more than one way to suppress the Wang family, and it’s okay for the Donghai Gang to let go first.”

"I agree with Your Highness," the princess's adviser, He Guicai, echoed. "Not only do we have to win, but we can also let the evil spirits escape. If we can't control the situation and involve the surrounding people, then the problem will be troublesome."

Just when everyone thought that Xia Fan was going to change his plan, Xia Fan was uncharacteristically relaxed, "My idea is the opposite of yours. If the Donghai Gang were stationed in the suburbs, it would be a head-to-head battle. , it is difficult to wipe out the opponent at once. However, they hide in the tunnel and do not know that they have been targeted, which is equivalent to handing over the initiative of complete annihilation to our hands."

"Persistence is indeed suitable for encirclement and suppression, but it also has to be when our forces are superior." Staff Officer He quickly persuaded, "The art of war is not that simple."

"I don't know the art of war, so I didn't plan to encircle and suppress."

"Then how do you wipe out the enemy?" The other party frowned.

"It can't be Mixiang?" Luo You'er clapped her hands, "It's the trick you used against senior sister!"

Xia Fan suddenly felt that he had become the focus of attention in the venue.

"Mixiang?" Li asked lightly.

"It's colorless and odorless, and it's very effective against fighters when you smell it." The more Luo You'er said, the more she felt that it was feasible, "As long as you light up the incense in the tunnel and make the Donghai gang fall into a coma, we can take down the opponent in one fell swoop." !"

"Oh?" Ning Wanjun became interested, "You still have such good things? No wonder Yu'er called you before—"

"It's not the same thing!" Xia Fan quickly interrupted, "That thing does have a hypnotic effect, but there is air flow in the tunnel, and there are many branches, it is almost impossible to make everyone fall asleep at the same time Yes. If the targets fall one after another, it will only give the enemy time to alert and react."

"Even if it can be done, it may not be effective." Li stared at him for a long time before adding, "It is not difficult to use alchemy to restrain drowsiness, not to mention that some techniques can also predict danger. This method is just heresy after all. .”

"Also..." Ning Wanjun curled her lips, seemingly regretting, "Then what is your plan?"

As the princess of Qiguo, what a pity you are there!

Xia Fan rubbed his forehead, "I'm going to use a few simple alchemy techniques to create an unexpected attack." Then he gave a general account of his new plan.

After listening, there was silence in the living room.

"It's... that simple?" In the end, the princess was the first to speak.

"It's that simple." Xia Fan affirmed.

"Are you sure what you said can have such an effect?"

"Remember that crystal glass?" He smiled. "Sometimes the power lies in the simple things."

These words made the princess no longer have any doubts.

"What you want, I can prepare it tomorrow."

"Then act tomorrow night." Xia Fan looked at Wu Yueyao, "To ensure nothing goes wrong, I hope your men can also participate in this raid."

"It's my duty." The latter promised.

...

At two quarters the next day, in the Privy Council Mansion.

In order to avoid leaking the news, Xia Fan dismissed everyone early, closed the door of the command department, and pretended that he closed the mansion on time. And after Haishi, everyone quietly returned to the headquarters lobby through the side door.

At this time, the Jinxia City is hardly lit, and even the Chunlou Night Alley has reached the time when Qingke is closed. The vast majority of the people have already fallen asleep, except for the occasional night cat above their heads, the sky above the city has been completely shrouded in darkness and silence.

This was Xia Fan's first external action since he took over the command department - and from this time on, alchemists no longer simply deal with evil spirits, but want to eliminate the source of evil spirits.

Whether it's Wei Wushuang and Luo You'er who have always supported him, or Li Xing, Sun Haotian and others who are new to the group, they all wear a brand new golden iron sword.

The wooden sword cuts the evil of the world.

The steel sword cuts down the wicked.

"Then...the time has come." Xia Fan looked around at the crowd, and when he was about to give the departure order, a familiar figure appeared at the gate of the Privy Council Mansion.

"You still forgot an alchemist." The visitor said with a smile.

"Your Highness, Your Highness?" Wei Wushuang was stunned.

"No, it's Shangguan Cai." Under the light of the torch, Ning Wanjun seemed to have returned to the appearance when he first met, with a slightly flattened nose and a few freckles on both sides, but the only thing that remained unchanged was his pair of bright eyes. overflowing eyes. "I'm also a student of the same year anyway, you can't leave me behind."

"Ahem..." Xia Fan wondered, "His Royal Highness... I'm afraid this is inappropriate?"

"What's wrong?" She raised her eyebrows, "On the battlefield, I always lead the charge."

Xia Fan winked at Qiuyue behind her. He was usually worried about this and that, but why did he keep silent at this time?

And Qiuyue seemed to have seen his thoughts, she shook her head helplessly and said, "Master Xia, you can let her be with you. His Highness's decision will never be easily changed... Besides, she is really good at battles .”

Hearing what the other party said, Xia Fan noticed that the princess's eyes were full of expectation and impatience.

She was born for the battlefield.

"I see," he stopped trying to dissuade, and said directly to the crowd, "Since the personnel are all ready, the annihilation operation will begin. Its code name is "Zhaixing", and we will try our best not to let anyone go! Everyone, let's go! "

"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison.
