"The effect is ...... It's also a little scary. Wei Wushuang covered his nose and looked away, a little afraid to look at the corpse on the ground again.

"But they are enemies...... Luo You'er was also very uncomfortable, looking like she was about to vomit, but she still insisted on following behind everyone, "The innocent people who died at the hands of these East China Sea gangs cannot be counted as less." ”

That's exactly what happened. Ning Wanjun looked refreshed, feeling that he would not be affected by the enemy's tragic situation at all, "Think about the people in the grottoes in Gaoshan County, if you fall into their hands, I am afraid that the end will be even worse." ”

Because he had anticipated the scene below, Xia Fan was undoubtedly much calmer than when he first saw the murder scene. He knew in his heart that although foreshadowing and detonation were both magic techniques, their actual effects were no different from those of thermal weapons. Compared with the era of cold weapons, the most significant feature of the era of firearms is that the lethality has increased many times. If it were a sword fight, it would have taken an entire night to inflict similar casualties, but in the case of an explosion, a blink of an eye would have been enough.

The fox demon walked past the crowd and walked to a small room at the end of the hall.

"Li?" Xia Fan turned to follow.

"The man had been in this room before. She whispered.

"An family?"

Seeing Li nodding, Xia Fan drew his sword and held it in his hand, and walked into the house with her—it was also smoky and burned, and there was a lot of white ash on the ground. Presumably there used to be a lot of books and paper, but now they are all burned to ashes.

It didn't take much effort, and the two found the "An family" in Li's mouth behind a broken door panel.

He seemed to be standing right behind the door when it exploded, and the shockwave of the explosion flew the door out with him. As a result, his body was well preserved, but his spine was broken in two by the violent impact.

Xia Fan let out a sigh of relief.

After all, the other side is the most difficult enemy in intelligence.

No matter how strange the means he had, and what kind of evil he could drive, there was nothing he could do now.

"What's that?" Li was suddenly caught by the few talismans beneath him.

Xia Fan squatted down, pushed away the other party's already stiff body, and pulled out the talisman and pinched it on his fingertips—it was a spell that had never been seen before, and it emitted a lilac fluorescence in a poorly lit room, and the light was dim and bright, as if he was breathing.

"It's a soul gatherer. ”

Ning Wanjun's voice came from behind her.

"Gathering Souls...... Fu?" Xia Fan repeated.

"I also heard it from an acquaintance," Ning Wanjun spread her hands, "This kind of talisman has nothing to do with magic, it is more like a container. And what it contains is evil qi. ”

"What do you mean—" he wondered.

"Well, if the conditions are right, it can inspire evil spirits. The princess's answer confirmed his suspicions, "However, this thing is very rare, and it is usually only eligible to apply to the Privy Council if you have the rank of town guard." This guy has more than one in his hand, which is really a bit abnormal. ”

"That's what An Jia is good at. May Yao also walked in, "I didn't expect him to even have a chance to fight back, this battle ...... His Highness won beautifully. ”

"It has nothing to do with me, it's all the credit of Xia Fan. Ning Wanjun turned the two short guns in his hand, and said regretfully, "It's a pity that the win is too clean, and I can't clean up the battlefield." ”

Xia Fan took the other party's stuckness as a slip of the tongue, "These talismans ...... What should I do?"

"You can keep it. Ning Wanjun waved her hand generously, "Although it can't be exchanged for money and silver, it is indeed a rare thing." Don't you want to study the arts, this is a rare research material. ”

"Your Highness, the guards said they had found something, and I hope you can take a look. Qiu Yue suddenly reported at the door.

"Oh, what is it?" said the princess, turning her head.

"Some...... Air-dried corpses. Qiu Yue bit her lip, "It's stuffed in the wall." ”

......

"This ...... Did the East China Sea Gang do it?" Xia Fan looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help frowning.

In a corner of the lobby, the guards were pulling at the cracked rubble on the wall. And in the part that has been exposed, everyone saw more than a dozen dried corpses. What's even more incredible is that the remains were clearly not stuffed in casually, they were similar in size, and the surface was sallow, as if they had been soaked in tung oil, in other words, they were embalmed before they were placed in the wall.

"Do you know what their intentions are for doing this?" Ning Wanjun looked at May Yao.

The latter shook his head, "No, I don't know ......"

"There seems to be something on the corpse. Li pointed to one of them.

At the princess's signal, someone soon pulled it out of the crack in the stone.

When it lay flat on the ground, everyone couldn't help but take a cool breath in unison.

The corpse's body was actually engraved with sigils.

This is a little too wicked.

Ning Wanjun was silent for a long time before she said to Xia Fan, "I have to admit that your guess is right. The An family appeared here for more than just private salt. Although we don't know what Dongshengguo wants to do, at least their calculations have failed. ”

Then she ordered the guards, "Thoroughly search this underground passage, and all the corpses found will be dragged outside and burned, and no one will be missed or lost!"

"Yes, Your Highness!" the guards replied in unison.

......

Jinxia City, inside the royal mansion.

"You, what are you talking about!?" Wang Yi'an's hands shook, and the cup fell to the ground with a clatter. "- did you confirm it?"

"Sir, it's true. Master Lu replied in a trembling voice, "Last night, there was a sudden drought and thunder in the south of the city, followed by a continuous roar, and in the morning, news came, saying that Zhengshou Street and Wangfu Street were blocked. There is also a team of family members who came from nowhere into the Redwood Building, saying that they want to arrest the East China Sea gang members who are hiding inside. I hurriedly sent someone over there to check on the situation, but even the courtyard in the outer city was surrounded!"

Wang Yi'an sat back in his chair, "The person you sent out—are you sure that there are Fang Shi among the besiegers?"

Master Lu's face became a little uglier, "Yes, not only that, but he also saw Ling Bu himself." ”

Wang Yi'an's heart suddenly sank to the bottom.

Xia Fan!

Was this revenge for a previous attack?

Does this deal have to end with no return for his own blood?

He clenched his fists in hatred.

Damn the foreigners, didn't they say that the strength of those few cultivators was not afraid of just one local privy council? Why was they caught by Xia Fan?

"Master......" However, the bad news of Master Lu is not over, "I still heard one more thing......"

Wang Yi'an gritted his teeth and stared at him, "You say!"

"There are rumors at the scene, and Princess Guangping's people are also involved!"

He froze, and there was a boom in his head!

Her Royal Highness the Princess? Why did she get involved in this kind of thing? The Donghai Gang failed to attack Xia Fan, and it is reasonable for Xia Fan to take revenge, but what about the princess? What does this have to do with her!?

In an instant, a terrible thought jumped on Wang Yi's head.

Counterpart...... Isn't it the discovery of the salt works?

No-this is impossible, the peripheral members of the Donghai Gang don't know about this matter at all, and the core members are all from the Dongsheng Kingdom, so they naturally know how important this matter is, how can it be easily revealed!

However, the more you worry about something, the faster the bad things will come. A domestic servant ran into the study out of breath and bowed to Wang Yi'an.

"Master, Princess Guangping has sent a letter inviting you to Fengyang Villa for a banquet!"
