Heaven's Formula

Olina felt the potion dissolve in her stomach, which seemed to dispel the coldness all over her body, but it also brought a strong drowsiness.No matter how she struggled against it, she couldn't resist the disappearance of consciousness.

Before the darkness fell, there was only one thought left in Olina's mind.

...she wants to go home.

……

"Your Highness, this is the report submitted by Master Mo Yun. She said that it contains this month's summary and next month's expenditure plan. You need to read it first."

"Your Highness, Your Highness?"

"His Royal Highness Ning Wanjun!" When reminded for the third time, Qiuyue had to raise the volume.

"Ah——" Ning Wanjun came back to her senses now, she blinked, "Is the report? I see, you put it on the table, I'll read it later."

Will you watch it later?Qiuyue glanced at the high stack of paperwork at the corner of the table. She had entered the study once half an hour ago, and the height of the paperwork at that time was almost the same as it is now.

It has to be said that since Jinxia City started to snow, Her Royal Highness's work efficiency has plummeted, and sometimes it takes a long time to lose her mind, which makes Qiuyue feel a little worried.

Of course, this is by no means His Highness's problem.

It all comes down to something wrong with Xia Fan.

The last time I contacted was half a month ago. He said that the operation required the antenna to be disassembled, and he might not be able to contact Jinxia City after that. Wasn't this intentionally causing people to think wildly?Coupled with the arrival of the snow season, even if you want to take the initiative to inquire about the situation in Gyeonggi, you can't do it.

If it was in the past, she wished Xia Fan would stay in Shangyuan and not plan to come back, but now she can't think so because of emotion and reason—first of all, Xia Fan has really helped the princess a lot, and he has several brushes in his hand, so he can talk to those who know nothing. It's very different to be a son of a family who brags about himself; secondly, the things he masters are too dangerous, if he is abducted by the Gyeonggi government, it will definitely be a big blow to the princess' career.

Therefore, Qiuyue decided to play the role that a maid should have, and tried to enlighten Her Royal Highness, "Actually, Your Highness doesn't have to worry too much."

"Huh?" Ning Wanjun glanced at her lazily.

"The servant girl looks at Xia Fan, his behavior seems to be out of tune, but he is actually quite prudent. He said he would return to Jinxia, ​​so he shouldn't make a mistake. Now that the mountains are covered by heavy snow, his schedule will definitely be slowed down. It's normal to even be unable to move an inch. The servant girl thinks... At most, when the snow melts next spring, you can—"

"Why, do you think I'm like this because he can't come back?" Ning Wanjun interrupted Qiuyue, "Of course not!"

"Huh? No...is it?"

The princess patted the table and said, "How can I be anxious because of someone's delay? It's just a temporary loss of contact. Even if he doesn't come back for a month or two, I won't feel any discomfort!"

Seeing His Highness's righteous expression, Qiuyue swallowed, "Your Highness is very true..."

"What I'm dissatisfied with is that he hangs out alone, but I have to deal with the pile of things he left behind. Every day, there are endless paperwork, and I can't even get out of the villa. Don't you think it's annoying? ?”

"Yes, it's really worth getting angry." Seeing the princess suddenly become so energetic, Qiuyue also felt relieved, "The maid will cook a bowl of white fungus and shredded chicken porridge for His Highness? Drinking it in winter can not only drive away the cold, but also extinguish the fire."

Ning Wanjun nodded in agreement.

Qiuyue went out in a happy mood.

But when she returned to the study with the finished porridge, there was no one in front of the desk.

"Your Highness, Your Highness?"

She put down the dishes and summoned the guards after searching for no one, "Where is Your Highness the Princess?"

"Miss Hui, someone came to report just now, and His Highness immediately left the house after hearing it."

"Report? What news?" Qiuyue asked.

The guard thought for a while and replied, "It seems that... Master Xia Fan is back."

Chapter 321 Return

The moment Xia Fan disembarked from the pier, a familiar feeling emerged spontaneously.

Even in winter, there are still many boats active on the inland waterway. Compared with the messy and messy wharf area half a year ago, it can be described as orderly here now, and the various signages have more than doubled than before. Saw some novelty stuff.

"What's wrong?" Li walked to him.

"Look at that wall." Xia Fan pouted.

I saw several banners hanging on the half-waist of the city wall not far away, but the content on them had nothing to do with the Bureau.

"Xu Ji Commoner, the tailor-made garment workshop with the most diverse styles and the finest cuts in Jinxia City, welcomes you at any time."

"Jinxia Inn, a century-old store, the best choice for lodging!" There is also a row of small words at the bottom, "It is only one street away from the General Affairs Bureau, and can provide consultation services in the city."

"The drunken brothel recruits people, the treatment is good, and you don't need to sign a contract of sale!"

"Is this the merchant who hung it up?" Li clicked his tongue.

"Well, they have also begun to realize the importance of publicity." Xia Fan laughed, isn't this the predecessor of advertising?It seems that the commercial competition in Jinxia City has reached a new level, and it is difficult to stand out from the crowd without promoting yourself.Moreover, the recruitment advertisement of the brothel really surprised people. After all, when the bureau introduces jobs, it is impossible to recommend people to the brothel. This is also a struggle to survive.

"Xia, Master Xia?"

Probably because of their large number, they attracted the attention of the dock guards. After they approached, they quickly recognized Xia Fan's identity.

Xia Fan made a quiet gesture, indicating that there is no need to say anything.

"Yes!" After the guard saluted, he rushed towards the city impatiently.

"Is this... is someone watching your movements?" Li Rao asked with interest.

"Probably there are a lot of things waiting for me to do in the mansion." Xia Fan smiled wryly, and then looked at the people who were walking with him - besides Kai Luoqing, Fang Xiandao and others, there were more than a dozen members of the guard team. It wasn't for these people who explored the way in advance and managed the whole process, they really couldn't reach Jinxia City before the new year. "You've worked hard all the way! Now that we've finally arrived at Jinxia, ​​I won't delay everyone going back to see their families. Then everyone, disband!"

"Here!" Everyone said in unison.

"I'm going back to my residence too." Fang Xiandao stretched his waist, "This trip to Gyeonggi is a bit exciting, next time it's so dangerous, don't get involved with me again."

"Master, are you afraid?"

"Who is afraid? I am worried that I will not have the opportunity to delve into those esoteric spells. That is the real loss!"

"I know, don't believe me!"

"I see that your skin is itchy..."

Xia Fan smiled and shook his head, saying goodbye to Fang Yanni, Qianyan and others.

"What about you?" He looked at Luo gently.

"I do not know either."

Xia Fan's heart was startled suddenly, this tone...couldn't be the revenge of the great revenge, he has no desires and desires in this life, and decides to roam around for the rest of his life, and stop following the rhythm of world affairs, right?

"Could it be that you... want to leave Jinxia City?"

"Ah?" Luo Weiwei was startled in a daze, and then laughed out loud, "Where did you go? I just think that after this incident, Longlin seems to have changed again, and I want to find a place to practice. But I don’t know where is more appropriate, so I have such an answer.”

It turned out to be the case.Xia Fan breathed a sigh of relief, "Then let's go to Fengyang Villa. The princess's house has a mine... No, I mean there are many empty houses and a special martial arts arena. If you go there to perform spells, you won't be able to do it anyway." Affecting others. I happen to be going to see the princess later, will you come with me?"

"Well... still can't," Luo thought for a while and then replied, "Although practice is very important, I really want to see Luo You'er. I'll go there by myself tomorrow."

"Alright." Xia Fan nodded.

"Also..." She suddenly raised the corner of her mouth and said, "I have made an oath to swing my sword for a better order. Although I cannot create such a world myself, I am more and more sure now... I have found it." That kind of order. I will not retreat to hiding until the goal is achieved."

After she finished speaking, she waved her hand and stepped into the crowd.

"Uh... what did she mean?"

"Probably means she's not going to leave without saying goodbye—at least for now."

"Okay..." Xia Fan said with emotion until the back of the other party disappeared, "We are the only ones left."

"There's an unconscious guy in the cabin." Li reminded.

"Ah, I almost forgot." He patted his head, and then made a decision, "Forget it, let's take her to the villa together."

……

When the carriage stopped, the thin snowflakes grew a lot bigger, and could already dance up and down along the cold wind, like pure white goose feathers.

Xia Fan lowered the brim of his hat, opened the door and got out of the car, then held Li's hand and guided her to land steadily.

But when he looked in the direction of the gate of the villa, he couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

I saw a familiar figure standing in the center of the gate with his hands folded.

Li covered his mouth and snickered, "Now I probably know who is watching your movements."

"Uh," Xia Fan hesitated, "Why does it feel like she looks very angry?"

"It's not difficult to understand." Li took off his hood, revealing his long-suffocated ears, "I promised to report the situation with the audio device every day, but I didn't do it for half of the days, so it's strange if I don't have any opinions. After all, ordinary people , You are not joking."

I don't know if it's an illusion, but he always feels that Li's speech is getting better and better at roundabout and sarcastic.

Is this considered to be close to ink?

Of course, Mo is definitely not him.

Either a thousand words, or a thousand knowledge, or both.

After glaring at the fox demon, Xia Fan strode towards Ning Wanjun.

I haven't seen her for almost a month, and her height and appearance haven't changed much, she just changed from autumn clothes to court winter clothes.A fluffy fur coat was put on over a golden-red silk robe.Rarely, the hair was not tied up, but hung open, like a black waterfall.

At the same time, the hair on the top of her head has been covered with a little white snow, obviously she has been standing here for a while.

The closer he got, the more clearly Xia Fan could see the anger that was about to burst out of the opponent's face.

He could imagine how terrible the consequences would be if Ning Wanjun was allowed to speak first.

Must strike first!

Xia Fan accelerated to walk in front of her, suddenly squatted down, and gently brushed the snowflakes off her head with his hand.

Ning Wanjun couldn't help being stunned, she thought that the other party would find an excuse to explain, or simply pretend to be stupid, but she didn't expect him to do so.

"you--"

Xia Fan looked directly at her and said in a soft tone, "Your Highness, I'm back."

Ning Wanjun opened her mouth, but couldn't answer for a long time. For some reason, the feeling of dissatisfaction and anger melted away like the first snow with these words.

In the end, she could only respond softly, "Well, just come back."

Volume Five

Chapter 322 The Warmth

In the dormitory of Fengyang Villa, Xia Fan was sitting on the heated kang, talking about his return journey in the second half month.

Ning Wanjun took off her shoes, socks and fur robe, and lay on her side opposite Xia Fan, eating the dates that Qiuyue had just washed, while listening to him tell the stories one by one.Especially after hearing that they rescued Qing Jian at a huge risk, and then rode a giant dragon to break through the barriers of the Privy Council, even the last bit of dissatisfaction in their eyes disappeared without a trace.

"But what kind of spell is that? Could it be that you have comprehended a new alchemy based on the thunder spell?" When she heard the rise, the princess couldn't help but sat up straight.

"Actually, it's thundering with multiple shock techniques at the same time, but I didn't expect its momentum to be so shocking that it could even trigger a phenomenon of heaven and earth." Xia Fan said frankly.

"Hmm... this should be a new discovery." Ning Wanjun pondered for a while, "Lightning wood is too expensive, no one would throw it like a stone. Besides, even if it is a common medicine, the alchemy is more precise, Meticulous, try to use it once to bring out its maximum effect, I am afraid that you are the first one to do this."

"It's just that its shortcomings are also obvious." Xia Fan smiled, "It consumes all the energy in one spell, and it can't choose the target independently like the streamer spell. It's okay to deal with ordinary soldiers, but if it's a quick-witted alchemist , the effect that can be achieved is very limited.”

"What is this defect?" Ning Wanjun said disapprovingly, "If it can play a decisive role on the battlefield, the army can completely design tactics around this technique. If you were in the frontier army at that time, you would definitely become a frontier army The core characters in the movie."

Having said that, she shook her head and laughed again, "But even so, it's still a bit overkill for your ability. It's a pity that I'm not a genus. I basically read all the books you wrote, but until now I can only read them. It's just to operate the audio device."

Ning Wanjun paused, and changed the subject, "Since Qingjian is willing to leave Shangyuan with you, where is this person now?"

"Aunt Yan disembarked early after entering the border of Shenzhou." Li replied—after talking all the way, she had already agreed that the other party was her mother's friend, "She said that during the last part of the journey, she wanted to walk over."

"Why?" Ning Wanjun asked puzzled, "It's freezing outside, and she was injured, shouldn't she come to Jinxia City to recuperate?"

"That's what I persuaded, but she insisted on it."

"Probably need time to regain my mood." Xia Fan can understand Yan Qing's actions. She has stayed in the Gyeonggi Privy Council for more than 20 years and has fought for the goal of the merger of the six countries for half her life. Now she is suddenly out of familiarity. In such an environment, and the place she was about to go to was Jinxia City, which was destined not to be accommodated by the Privy Council, it was quite normal for her to hesitate.

And according to what Yan Qing said at the time, if he followed them all the way to Jinxia, ​​Xia Fan must have arranged everything that followed - including accommodation, food and clothing, and other necessities.She didn't want to be supported, and her perspective on Jinxia City would also be affected.Since she wanted to take a good tour, she should approach the city as an ordinary person.

"So that's how it is." Ning Wanjun showed a slightly regretful expression, "I thought Jinxia would have an extra green sword. Are you sure she will come here in the end?"

"If the scenery along the way won't disappoint her." Xia Fan has full confidence in this, "Besides, Yan Qing made a magic weapon for Li before saying goodbye. As long as Li needs her help, She will rush to Li's side as soon as possible."

Of course, that's not what the other party said.

To Xia Fan's ears, Yan Qing was clearly admonishing himself.

For example, if Li is treated unfairly and feels that Xia Fan's temperament has changed drastically, he can crush the magic weapon, then Yan Qing will take Li Yuan away.

Ning Wanjun lay down on her side again holding a jujube, and at the same time exposed her feet from a section of the quilt, "I didn't expect the collapse of the Yongguo, the reorganization of the Seven Stars, and the overseas envoys were all related to the Gate of Heaven, and the news could still be blocked after a hundred years It seems that this door is really important. Do you think it is necessary for us to look for its clues?"

"There is always too much information," Xia Fan pretended not to see it, "but it is not worth devoting energy to it. And I have always doubted the door that the Privy Council said. In their description, this The door is almost omnipotent, as if you can see it, you can fulfill all your wishes. And King Yong has actually touched the door—even if it is a black door, it should bring about some special changes. But the result is that King Yong If you die, the dynasty will fall."

"What do you think they're hiding?"

"I'm more inclined that they themselves don't know much about the door. What we know so far is that clues to the Gate of Heaven's Dao not only appear in the six countries, but there are also many rumors overseas, but they are called differently. This has proved that as long as you are sensitive Those who have access to it may have access to it.”

Xia Fan analyzed, "Since this thing exists, it must be of great significance, but it is not to the point where it can easily turn the world around. Instead of putting all your hopes on the gate of heaven, it is better to focus on the present and do what you can do .”
