Chapter 143: The Smoke Rises

After all, the flame that ignited attracted the attention of others.

Zhao Dahai and Li Xing are one of them.

The flickering cyan smoke column stood out against the hazy background of firewood smoke, and one of the guards soon reported the anomaly to the two men.

The two glanced at each other, and they walked out of the lobby of the order department and came to the outside of the courtyard.

"Yo, it's really wolf smoke. Zhao Dahai plucked his nostrils and said, "Is this the soldier of the guard tower overdrunk? ”

"Why don't I send someone to the East Wall to check on the situation?"

"Well, you can't go wrong with making sure first. Zhao Dahai was about to go back to the house when he suddenly stopped again, "Wait...... I said, did you see any of the faculty members today?"

"Nope. What's wrong?" Li Xing wondered.

Zhao Dahai directly called the doorman, "Did Master Wen come to the Privy Council today?"

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

"What about Lord Quan?

The doorman frowned and pondered, "It seems...... Didn't come. Are they going to go on foreign business?"

"Damn!" Zhao Dahai's swear words spewed out directly, "The Privy Council is closed today, you go home first." ”

"Huh?" the doorman froze in place.

Zhao Dahai didn't bother to pay attention to him, and turned directly to Li Xing, "You don't need to send someone to check the situation, you quickly call the members of the order department to go out of the city and go to Fengyang Villa to meet." ”

"What do you mean...... Isn't it a coincidence that a few of the other people didn't come? But I saw that all the new members of the faculty were coming......."

"That's when they were abandoned. Zhao Dahai pondered, "In this way, I will inform them separately, you go first." Let my apprentices know about this as soon as possible. ”

The Zhiwei Hall of the School was on the west side of the house, and he trotted all the way into the hall, while a dozen or so monks were reviewing the magic on their own, and there was no figure of the master on the podium.

"Hey, I said don't flip through the books yet. Zhao Dahai clapped his hands vigorously, attracting everyone's attention to himself, "There may be some trouble in the east of Jinxia City, it is better to leave the Privy Council first for the sake of safety, if you don't know where to go for a while, then come with me." ”

The monks looked at each other, and then a tall man stood up and said, "May I ask ...... you are?"

"The leader of the Order's Eradication Group, Zhao Dahai. ”

"Lingbu, what you are doing is the same student who betrayed the interests of the Privy Council to Her Royal Highness the Princess?"

"What the hell is the Removal Group? Sorry, I haven't heard of it. ”

"You're also a Fang Shi, don't you feel ashamed if you follow someone like that?"

"What's the trouble, maybe he's just trying to trick us out of the house. ”

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

"This ...... Team Leader Zhao," the tall man shrugged, "You also saw that the school department doesn't welcome people from your order department, so-"

"Bang!"

Zhao Dahai smashed his fist on the wall, startling everyone.

There were even some alchemists who hurriedly touched the medicinal herbs.

"Rabbit cub, do you think Lao Tzu is willing to run this leg? It's not to look at my apprentice's face, and take advantage of you fools!" Zhao Dahai scolded.

"First of all, let me tell you, Lao Tzu is not a monk, he will follow whoever he wants. Secondly, my apprentice is not stupid, why don't you hug the princess's thighs, one by one, righteous words, tired of crooked! If you can hug me, I don't believe that you don't stretch out your hand!"

"The Ministry of Education does not welcome the Ministry of Order, but you can do it! If you don't go to the Ministry of Order, where do you get the merits?

Speaking of this, Zhao Dahai also spat on the ground, "Anyway, I brought my words, believe it or not, it's okay to stay here, when you really get into trouble, don't expect someone to save you!

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

Most of the Fang Shi have a good family background, and after passing the assessment, they are even court officials, who have seen such a vulgar scolding battle, and they are stupid on the spot for a while.

"Really, really, it really doesn't make sense!" it took a long time for someone to reflect.

"Did he come to the school on purpose to provoke?"

"But it's a little too obvious...... Could it be that something really went wrong in the east?" said some Fang Shi.

"Well, that seems to be true when you say that. ”

"Anyway, the master is not here, let's go first, and we shouldn't be blamed, right?"

"Whoever goes first will tell the Master. The tall man who had stood up at the beginning spoke again, "Have you forgotten the Master's usual admonition!

......

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

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

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

Soon, all kinds of information were gathered in the villa through oral or text letters.

An emergency meeting was then held in the auditorium.

"Jinxia City is being attacked?" As soon as this news was announced, it caused a stir among everyone.

It is no wonder that everyone is surprised that Shenzhou is not a strategic place, and it is located in the hinterland of Qiguo, and it does not share borders with neighboring countries, so it is almost the most unlikely place to be affected by the war.

"The enemy came by boat, and there were quite a few of them. Xu Sanzhong, who commanded the guards, said in a condensed voice, "Before that, the East China Sea should be a forbidden area, and since these people have the ability to break through the blockade of the evil spirit, then their identities can basically be finalized - nine times out of ten, they are the forces behind the East China Sea Gang, from the Dongsheng Kingdom on the other side of the sea." ”

"Dongsheng Kingdom...... Is this trying to ransack Jinxia City?" Gonggong Li frowned.

"Or maybe you're looking for something more. Staff officer He Guicai shook his goose feather fan and said, "But no matter what they are planning, the investment is not small." ”

"That's right, according to the news coming back from the front, the enemy is currently landing, and the vanguard has captured the eastern wall. Judging from the number of ships, their number will never be small, and wanting to rely on the few people from the government to defend the city is tantamount to using a mantis arm as a car. What's more......" Xu Sanzhong paused, "the scouts didn't notice any movement on the official side. ”

"Are they crazy?" Mo Yun said in disbelief, "If you are invincible, you will not be invincible, so if you give up the city defense, the government will lose your head!"

"To be honest, this attack was really strange, and until we have a clear understanding of the enemy's reality and intentions, I would suggest that we 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, and the enemy is unlikely to come to you for trouble." When the Shenzhou reinforcements arrive, the matter will naturally come to an end. ”

"Staff Officer He is right. The lowly also thinks that this is the safest thing to do. Xu Sanzhong arched his hand and said, "The other party's strength is not obvious, and it is inevitable that there will be losses if we act rashly." As soon as the Shenzhou army arrives, it is possible to expose the existence of this strange army, and if it is not handled well, it is afraid that it will leave hidden dangers. ”

The others also showed signs of approval.

But the princess didn't make a decision right away.

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