Heavenly Dao Formula

The prince's guards only reacted at this moment.

"There are assassins! Protect Your Highness!"

The four of them scrambled to stop Ning Weiyuan, and at the same time pulled out the sabers at their waists.

But after a flash of black light, the four guards were cut in half.

The assassin didn't stop, passed the beheaded person, and stabbed Ning Weiyuan who was still in a state of astonishment with the black light in his hand like a sharp sword.

At this moment, a dazzling rainbow burst out from the prince's chest!

The black shadow couldn't avoid it, and was sprayed by this brilliant brilliance. Not only did the sneak attack fail, but the person was blown away.

The sudden change gave the guard a chance to make amends.

The prince was blocked by a group of people, and dozens of crossbows shot towards the shadow. The assassin had nowhere to hide, and was shot down the palace wall, while a group of guards who heard the sound had already pulled out The sword surrounded the palace courtyard wall completely.

It took less than ten breaths before and after this incident, but people both inside and outside the palace witnessed this scene with their own eyes—His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was assassinated on the Lantern Festival!

"It's troublesome." Dry brows frowned, "That guy is an alchemist from the Privy Council."

"What?" Xia Fan glanced at Yu Yi in surprise.

"Bai Ren, who was just promoted this year, I remember his surname is Zhang." Yu Linglong was puzzled, "Neither a core member, nor a guard level, who invited him to the Wandeng Banquet?"

"It's not important at all, what's important is... this matter will probably be counted on the Privy Council." Bai Zhan sighed, "My lord, when the imperial guards come to the door later, I hope you can restrain yourself Emotions."

"This matter clearly has nothing to do with us—and I don't think that guy has the motive to assassinate the prince!"

"But others don't think so." Layman Yunshang glanced at the direction of the palace wall. At this moment, more and more armored guards appeared in the square. Although the surrounding noise remained high, the crowd showed no signs of moving. It means that the entrance and exit of the palace have been blocked, and all the banquet guests are trapped in this place. "The next step must be investigation and interrogation, and maybe there will be solitary confinement-it has to be said that we have been calculated."

"What should we do next?" Yu Linglong asked.

"Boy, you go first." Qian grabbed the table with both hands.

"Me?" Xia Fan pointed to himself.

"That's right. Although we don't know who planned the attack, it's obviously aimed at the Privy Council. You don't need to get involved."

"Won't the Prime Minister of the Jinxia Privy Mansion be missed by them?"

"Ha, as long as you don't tell me, who knows that you are from Jinxia." He said with a dry smile.

Fei Nian seemed to see Xia Fan's doubts, "When we invited you, we did not register your exact identity with the Ministry of Rites. In their eyes, you are just one of the guests of the Privy Council. By the way, the identity we provided It’s also a forgery, you should be a businessman from an aristocratic family from Xu State. This in itself is a kind of protection for the guests, but I didn’t expect it to come in handy on the Lantern Festival.”

"As long as you don't reveal your identity, they won't make it difficult for you." Gan lifted the table and threw it on the ground, smashing the dishes and dishes into pieces. This action caused the panic-stricken crowd to explode, rushing to flee in all directions. "Let's go, see you tomorrow."

Xia Fan nodded, turned around and mixed into the crowd.

And in the peripheral vision, there are already several groups of people coming to surround them.

...

"You are Xia Buping, right?"

The door was pushed open, and a man in a brocade robe walked into the room and put a directory in front of him.

Xia Fan thought for a while before realizing that the name referred to him, "Yes, it's me."

It had been almost eleven or twelve hours since he was separated from the members of the Privy Council. All those who went to the banquet were arranged to live in a side hall next to the palace - there were many small rooms separated by themselves, probably used for the servants in the palace. Therefore, when inviting everyone to enter, the Ministry of Rites specially sent several officials to coordinate the matter, for fear that there would be conflicts between the invited guests and the guards.

"Sorry, what happened last night surprised you." The other party said very politely, "We have verified that you have no suspicions, and with the guarantee of Xu Guo's caravan, you only need to press your fingerprint on it, and you will be You can leave here first."

"How's the situation outside now? Has the assassin issue been resolved?" Xia Fan asked pretending to be concerned.

"It's not that easy." He sighed, "An assassin is small, but the organization behind the assassin, or their conspiracy is the big deal. As a native of Xu, you should not inquire about this matter. In addition, Shangyuan City started yesterday Since the city has been closed, you can shop freely in the city, but please don’t change your temporary residence address, and Honglu Temple can contact you if anything happens.”

When Xia Fan walked out of the palace compound through the side door, a carriage was already waiting beside the street.

He climbed into the carriage calmly and let the driver lead him slowly on the road.

About a quarter of an hour later, the car stopped for a few seconds, and a familiar figure climbed into the car.

It is the envoy of the Privy Council, Xin Wu.

"Master Xia, are you alright?"

"It's nothing serious, you take me back to Wanjing Tower first." Xia Fan showed a little anxiety at this moment, the news that Prince Qiguo was stabbed while setting off the lantern must have spread throughout the city. He didn't return all night because of the martial law, I'm afraid Li and the others are guessing about his situation. Compared with the Privy Council, who didn't want to have a direct conflict with the royal family, those in the inn didn't even recognize who the prince was. If Li and Luo Qingqing couldn't help but make a move, the situation would be irreparable.

"Master Xia, please don't worry, I have already sent someone to inform your companions, they should not be too worried."

"……hope so."

The carriage galloped all the way, and after a quarter of an hour, it drove into the vestibule of Wanjing Building.

As soon as Xia Fan got out of the carriage, he saw a figure rushing towards him, hugging him in public!

That skillful gesture and smell had already revealed the identity of the comer.

Xia Fan had to pull out a hand to hold Li's crooked bamboo hat, so as not to expose her ears inadvertently.

Before he could speak, Li let go of him again, grabbed his cheeks with both hands and looked around, as if to confirm that he was not short of weight.

Luo Qingqing, Fang Xiandao and others also followed.

"I have already said that he will not have any major problems. Divination has already proved this."

"Master, don't you have nothing to say?"

"Unable to account for proves that the source of the unfathomable has not changed. If he does not exist, my alchemy will be impeccable."

"If someone wants to beat you because of this, Qianzhi won't help the young master stop it."

Xia Fan glanced at everyone, and there was a warm current surging in his heart. Qian Yan's words may be right, he is a different kind in this world, maybe no one will really understand him in the end, but even so, this does not prevent them from caring about him.

"Let's go in and talk." Xia Fan nodded.
