Heavenly Dao Formula

The next day, the Lantern Festival arrived.

"Hey, so many people!" Qianzhi yelled excitedly, lying on the windowsill.

As the little girl said, the surrounding streets were crowded with people, almost extending from the city gate to the city center. Although the lights are displayed at night, some small activities have already begun to warm up, such as lion dances and stilt performances.

Sure enough, no matter where they are, these two activities are all-purpose plug-ins, and they can be used for fun and fun. Coupled with the accompaniment of suona, there is a festive atmosphere in an instant.

Vendors are seizing the opportunity to sell their own products, sweets, snacks, lanterns and colored paper. For most people, this is the last opportunity to fill up their pockets before the New Year. Therefore, not only ordinary businessmen, but also many local residents have taken out their usual hoarding items and joined the sale.

"It feels much more lively here than Jinxia." Qianzhi finally said with emotion.

Puff, Xia Fan felt a knife in his heart.

"After all, this is the center of Daqi." Luo gently walked aside, looking at the cheerful crowd, "Before I met Xia Fan, I never thought that one day I would go to an unremarkable Yancheng."

The second knife also went in.

"I still... prefer Jinxia City." Fang Yanni said cautiously.

"Oh? Why?" Xia Fan asked happily.

"Because there are too many people, I will be nervous." She lowered her head slightly, "It is better to be remote and desolate. It would be better if it was like the old forest in the deep mountains of Lingzhou."

Xia Fan couldn't help holding his chest tightly.

"Okay, Jinxia is already very good." Qianyan interjected abruptly, "That place gives me a different feeling from most towns... It actually looks a bit like the eternal prosperity. Even if it is not as good as Shangyuan now, It will definitely become a famous city in the country."

"Really?" Qianzhi was slightly surprised, "Sir Qianyan rarely speaks nice things to others."

"You are ashamed to say others!" Fang Xiandao glared at his protector.

"Set aside the gossip, let's set down the business tonight first." Li greeted behind everyone, "How will the schedule be arranged for the Wandeng Banquet?"

Everyone closed the windows and sat back in the middle of the room.

"Xia Fan, do you have any ideas?" Luo asked gently.

"This dinner is held in the Palace Square, and the identity of the personnel must be checked. If I am not wrong, I should be the only one who can enter by then." Xia Fan said while considering, "The princess also said, Wan The probability that the lantern feast is dangerous is extremely low, so on the contrary, it is you. It is best not to go out that day and just stay in Wanjing Building."

"Thousands of knowledge, not moving like a mountain!" the little girl echoed.

"Perhaps divination can be used to investigate the situation at night." Li suggested.

"Actually, I tried it last night." Fang Xiandao looked solemnly, "Because I can't directly calculate Xia Fan, I took Shang Yuancheng as the target of the operation."

"What's the result?" Xia Fan asked curiously.

"It's dark and unclear, it's difficult to make judgments." He narrowed his eyes and said in a long tone. "There are violent winds all around, and the clues of fate have been disrupted and reorganized, and they have lost their original meaning."

"Trouble talking."

"That... Junior Brother Fang meant that someone in Shangyuan City was interfering with divination techniques, and more than one person was doing it." Fang Yanni explained in a low voice, "Such a situation will make the conclusion drawn by the hexagram calculation false. Forced interpretation will not achieve the desired effect."

"Tsk, can this technique be restrained?" Xia Fan twitched his mouth. The other party's remarks reminded him of the electromagnetic warfare in a complex electromagnetic environment. "As long as the opponent keeps interfering, there is no divination. effect?"

"How can it be as simple as you said!" Fang Xian said anxiously, "First of all, the other party must be quite knowledgeable about the divination of hurdles and fortune telling before they can go against the tricks. Secondly, doing so also requires a lot of precious stones, soul jade and other rare things. , The continuous interference with the expenses of the last month is enough to ruin the family!"

"Okay, okay, I see." Xia Fan reassures falsely, "But since there are so many sources of interference, it seems that the prince's enthronement ceremony will definitely not be passed safely."

"After all, this matter is too hasty, I'm afraid that many people are just about to move." Luo whispered softly, "The order here has long existed in name."

To advertise, the reading app I am using recently, [\\mi\\mi\\read\\app\\\\] has a lot of sources, all books, and updates fast!

"Perhaps we will have left Gyeonggi when the other party ascends the throne." Xia Fan concluded in the end, "Since everyone feels that there is no problem, let's proceed as planned. We will wait until after the meeting with the Privy Council. Make plans for the next step."

...

At a quarter to four in the afternoon, which is about six o'clock, Xin Wu came to the bottom of Wanjing Tower as scheduled.

"I wonder if Master Xia has a good rest during this day and a half?" As soon as he saw Xia Fan, he greeted him warmly, "Master Gan has already reserved a seat for you at the Wandeng Banquet."

"Not bad. I'm also an alchemist anyway. The long journey isn't a big deal." Xia Fan nodded, "Let's go."

At this moment, the long street is full of people, and horses and vehicles are no longer allowed. Even the alchemist can only walk to the palace area at this moment.

When they reached the gate of the inner city, the guards had already put down their horses on the main road. Above the towering palace wall, Xia Fan could see the guards with powerful crossbows patrolling back and forth.

"Please show me the letter." The guard stopped the two.

"Here." Xin Wu skillfully took out a stack of paper and handed it to the guard. "He is a distinguished guest invited by the Privy Council. It doesn't matter whether it is checked or not."

"You are right, but this is my duty." After the guard checked, he handed a nameplate to Xia Fan, and then stepped aside, "Please come in."

"Just me?" Xia Fan asked in surprise.

"I'm just a person who asked, sending you here will have completed the task." Xin Wu said calmly, "The next meeting is not an occasion where I can participate. You have to go alone. Master Xia, that is only you. I will wait for your return in the fields that are eligible to be on stage."

Xia Fan glanced at the nameplate, which had already marked his seat number.

"It's cold~www.ltnovel.com~ You can find a restaurant to sit and come back when the Wandeng Banquet is over." After he finished speaking, he walked into the deep palace gate.

Next is a strict inspection. Not only weapons, but even talisman, paper and medicine packs are included. Obviously, those who enter the palace can't bring in anything except clothes and shoes. Without the surgical materials, the alchemist's combat effectiveness will undoubtedly be greatly restricted, and it is no wonder that the princess thinks that there is little risk of attending the Wandeng Banquet.

After passing through the courtyard wall, it was another scene.

On the huge square, rows of round tables criss-crossed, forming a square grid. Each table is surrounded by wind-proof candlesticks, hundreds of candlesticks put together, already has the illusion of a sea of ​​lights. This is not only to entertain the guests, but also to show the strength of the Daqi court-being able to gather so many bronze candlesticks at the same time is a manifestation of financial resources and means.

Under the guidance of the guards, he quickly came to the reserved seat.

"Xia Fan, long time no see."

It was Feinian, an old acquaintance from Qingshan Town who said hello.

Beside him, two men and two women were sitting in turn.

"I'll introduce it to you." He smiled and stood up. "This lord is the green sword of the Privy Council, and the "Longer on the Clouds" is full of exhibitions. "

Bai Zhan nodded without saying a word.

"Beside the Hundred Masters, the guardian "Projection" Yu Linglong. "

"Oh, you're Xia Fan, aren't you? The first time I met...well, you're more cute than you thought." Yu Linglong chuckled.

Feinian's hand moved to the other side, "This lady is also guarded by the Privy Council. "The embers of crossing the fire" Weihuang. "

"The concubine is polite." The other party bowed his head slightly.

"The last one is the Yuyi ambassador based in Gyeonggi——" Feinian paused, "Go" sir. "
