Heavenly Dao Formula

After all, the ignited flames attracted the attention of others.

Zhao Dahai and Li Xing are one of them.

The swaying cyan column of smoke looked particularly abrupt against the background of hazy firewood smoke, and soon a guard reported this abnormal phenomenon to the two of them.

The two looked at each other, and they walked out of the headquarters lobby at the same time, and came outside the courtyard.

"Hey, it's really wolf smoke." Zhao Dahai picked out his nostrils and said, "Is this because the soldiers watching the watchtower had drunk too much? That's the direction of the sea, right?"

"How about I send someone to the east wall to check the situation?"

"Well, it can't be wrong to make sure first." When Zhao Dahai was about to go back to the room, he suddenly stopped again, "Wait... I said, did you see the adults in the department today?"

"No. What's the matter?" Li Xing asked puzzled.

Zhao Dahai directly called the guard, "Did Mr. Wen come to the Privy Council today?"

The latter shook his head, "I didn't see it."

"Where is Master Quan? Where is Master Xue?"

The guard frowned and thought for a moment, "It seems that none of them came. Could it be that they went to perform foreign affairs?"

"Damn it!" Zhao Dahai spat out swear words, "The Privy Council is closed today, you should go home first."

"Ah?" The guard froze in place.

Zhao Dahai didn't bother to pay attention to him, and turned directly to Li Xing, "There's no need to send someone to check the situation, you should quickly ask the members of the command department to leave the city and meet up at Fengyang Villa."

"You mean... it's not a coincidence that the rest of the staff didn't come? But I saw that all the new alchemists from the department came..."

"That means they were abandoned." Zhao Dahai pondered for a while, "Well, I will inform them individually, you go first. Let my apprentice know about this as soon as possible."

The Zhiwei Hall of the Faculty is on the west side of the mansion. He trotted all the way into the hall, and a dozen or so alchemists were reviewing spells by themselves, and the master was not seen on the podium.

"Hey, I told you to stop flipping through the book." Zhao Dahai clapped his hands vigorously, drawing everyone's attention to himself, "There may be some trouble in the east of Jinxia City, it's best to leave the Privy Council to be on the safe side. If you don’t know where to take shelter temporarily, then come with me.”

The alchemists looked at each other, and then a tall man stood up and said, "Excuse me, are you..."

"The leader of the headquarters' removal team, Zhao Dahai."

"Department? Your job is the same student who betrayed the interests of the Privy Council to Her Royal Highness?"

"What's the evil removal group? Sorry, I haven't heard of it."

"You are also an alchemist, don't you feel ashamed to follow someone like that?"

"What trouble, maybe he just wants to trick us out of the house on purpose."

Everyone was discussing for a while, but their eyes and tone all showed unanimous contempt.

"This...Leader Zhao," the tall man shrugged, "you saw that too? The academic department doesn't welcome people from your command department, so—"

"boom!"

Zhao Dahai punched the wall, startling everyone.

Some alchemists even touched the medicinal materials in a hurry.

"You son of a bitch, do you think I'm happy to run this errand? Why don't you just look at my disciples' face and grab you idiots!" Zhao Dahai yelled.

"First of all, I will tell you that I am not a alchemist, so I can follow whoever I like. Secondly, my apprentice is not stupid. Why don't you hug a princess' thigh? Everyone speaks righteously and crookedly! If you can hug me, I won't believe you if you don't reach out !"

"The Ministry of Education does not welcome the Ministry of Command, but you can do what you can! Where can you get any merit if you don't go to the Ministry of Command? You will be the eighth-rank alchemist for the rest of your life!"

Speaking of this, Zhao Dahai spit on the ground, "Anyway, I brought my words to you. Believe it or not, you can stay here. When you are in trouble, don't expect someone to rescue you! Your If you're an adult, you've already run away without a trace!"

Then he snorted coldly, turned around and walked out of the hall. "Compared to you idiots, my apprentice is a hundred times cuter."

Most of the alchemists have good family backgrounds, and after passing the examination, they are even officials of the imperial court. They have never seen such vulgar scolding, and they were stupid on the spot for a while.

"Really, it's unreasonable!" It took a long time for someone to reflect.

"Did he come to the academy to provoke you on purpose?"

"But this is a bit too obvious... Could something really go wrong in the east?" Some alchemists also doubted.

"Uh, what you said seems to be true."

"Anyway, the master is not here, we should take a step first, and we shouldn't be blamed, right?"

"Whoever leaves first, I will report to the master." The tall man who stood up at the beginning said again, "Have you forgotten the usual warning of the master! Those who subdue to the commander, one counts as one, and they are all privy secretaries. The traitor of the government!"

...

Two quarters of an hour after the beacon smoke rose, Xia Fan and Ning Wanjun received news from the Privy Council.

The princess immediately mobilized several professional scout teams to Jinxia City to further investigate the situation.

Xia Fan also sent two natural scouts, Li and Shan Hui, to confirm the source of the beacon fire near the east city wall.

Soon, all kinds of information were collected in the villa through dictation or text messages.

An emergency meeting was then held in the living room.

"Jinxia City is being attacked?" As soon as this news was announced, it caused a great disturbance among the people.

No wonder everyone was surprised. Shenzhou is not a strategically important place, and it is located in the hinterland of Qiguo. It has no connection with neighboring countries. It is almost the least likely place to be affected by the flames of war.

"The enemy came by boat, and there were a lot of them." Xu Sanzhong, who commanded the guards, said in a concentrated voice, "Before this, the East China Sea should be a restricted zone. Since these people have the ability to break through the evil blockade, their identities are basically It can be finalized-they are most likely the forces behind the Donghai Gang, and they come from Dongsheng Kingdom across the sea."

"Dongsheng Kingdom... is this trying to loot Jinxia City?" Eunuch Li frowned.

"Maybe they are looking for more things." Staff officer He Guicai said, shaking his feather fan, "But no matter what they are looking for, the amount of money they put in is not small."

"That's right, according to the news from the front, the enemy is currently landing, and the vanguard has captured the eastern city wall. Judging from the number of ships, their number will definitely not be small. It is impossible to rely on the few people in the government to defend the city. It's different from a mantis arm as a car. What's more..." Xu Sanzhong paused, "The scouts didn't find any movement from the government."

"Are they crazy?" Mo Yun said in disbelief, "If you lose the enemy, you will lose the enemy. If you give up the city defense, everyone in the government will lose their heads!"

"Honestly speaking, this attack is indeed very strange. Before finding out the reality and intentions of the enemy, I suggest that you stay still and wait and see what happens." He Guicai looked at Princess Guangping, "Fengyang Villa is located at a high point. , easy to defend and difficult to attack, the enemy is unlikely to come to trouble you. When the Shenzhou reinforcements arrive, the matter will naturally be settled."

"Counselor He is right. I also think this is the safest way." Xu Sanzhong cupped his hands and said, "The opponent's strength is not obvious, and we will inevitably suffer losses if we act rashly. When the Shenzhou Army arrives, it may be exposed. The existence of Zhi Qibing, if it is not handled well, it may leave hidden dangers."

Others also showed signs of agreement.

The princess did not make a decision immediately.

She pondered for a moment, then turned her head to look at Xia Fan, "I want to hear your opinion."
