Chapter 280 The man behind the scenes
While Xia Fan finished reading the report, rapid footsteps also came from the other end of the underground center.
It came so fast!
He saw the woman rushing into the room with the corner of her skirt, and the exquisite high heels under her feet were replaced with simple and unpretentious boots. Obviously, the beautiful shoes a few days ago caused her a lot of trouble.
"Come out for me! The despicable Central Plains people!"
Olina pushed down two bookcases in a row and shouted to the huge center, "I know you are hiding here, watching my every move! I will give you a chance to recover your honor and come out to face me!"
The other party's tone was extremely fierce, but for some reason, Xia Fan read a little aggrieved from it.
"Your Excellency, Your Excellency Okan!" The guardian knight also chased after him, "Calm down, this is the center of the Records. How could anyone be hiding here besides the alchemist?"
"Yes, the alchemists in the mansion are still locked in the palace and Dali Temple for review. Don't mention the imperial guards, they have no chance to come to this place at all."
"No, don't you understand? We were stared in the eyes from the beginning, whether it was the booklet or the traps in the temple, they were deliberately set up for our purpose!" Olina said angrily, "They even knew the exact time we left, so they could just trigger a fire and trap us in the Honglu Temple!"
"Your Excellency, what do you mean...that fire was released by the Privy Council?"
"That's right, because they need time to set traps!" Olina glanced into the darkness, "You can clearly know our purpose and grasp our movements. There is no other explanation except that the enemy is here!"
The knight looked at each other, pulled out the sword around his waist, and made a defensive posture.
"Your Excellency, is it possible...it's just a coincidence."
"That's it!" Olina stretched out her right hand and muttered something. She saw a drop of liquid flame appearing out of thin air in her palm, and it became bigger and bigger, and soon shining half of the room. "I count three times, and then this flame will swallow everything in the underground room. You can choose to continue hiding, then burn it with the numerous secret records, or stand in front of me and let me see your true face!"
"three!"
This guy is crazy? Xia Fan frowned. Even if he was an ambassador from a foreign country, burning the center of the Recording Department would definitely be a serious crime.
But if she really planned to do so, a fire ignited in such a narrow place, even they would find it difficult to escape from the large amount of smoke and the hot air that had nowhere to go, which would instantly turn the place into a living furnace.
"two!"
Xia Fan stood up.
"You won't believe her, right?" Li grabbed his arm, "I think this guy is just bluffing and deliberately cheating people."
"Let her burn." Qianyanze crossed his legs, "I haven't seen anyone who can make a big fire in front of me."
"one!"
"Please stop."
When the third sound came, a man's voice came from behind Olina.
"Who is that?" Li said curiously.
"It's too far away, I can't see my face clearly." Luo frowned slightly, "but he seemed to have heard the tone of his voice..."
Olina's face changed, "His Royal Highness Ning Qianshi?"
I saw the second prince and Yan Qing, and Ye Tak slowly walked out of the deep passage and came to Olina, "Long time no see, Miss Otto. I wonder if you have obeyed the laws of Daqi well when I was not in Gyeonggi. But look at your current location, I guess the answer is no."
"So you are the one who plots against me?" Olina said in disbelief. "I heard that Suzhou is still in ruins and many cities in Youzhou are also invading. You actually snuck the war at this time and sneaked back to Shangyuan? As long as I spread the news, the people will know that their second prince is actually a deserter!"
"Don't get me wrong, it's not me who plots against you." Ning Qianshi shrugged, "In fact, I just rushed back to Jingji and didn't stop all the way. After all, if I don't come back, the Records Department will be burned out. By the way, the one who traps you here for several days is another young talent from the Privy Council. Xia Fan, you can come out."
That guy is the rumored second prince?
As soon as this guy arrived in Shangyuan, Xin Wu immediately reported his affairs to him. This made Xia Fan suddenly feel alert. No matter how Xin Wu cooperated with him on the surface, the other party was essentially a loyal servant of the Privy Council.
But at this point, he really didn't have to hide it anymore.
"I've seen His Highness the Second Prince."
Xia Fan jumped off the roof and found a place to attack and defend to Ning Qianshi to show his respect.
Seeing another person appear, Olina's eyes burst into flames, "I knew there was someone in this center! Despicable, you must be smirking in secret!"
"No... I have received professional training and will never laugh." Xia Fan sighed, "Unless... I can't help it."
"Puff." Duyelong suddenly covered his mouth.
Yan Qing couldn't help but look away.
"I want to use your blood to wash away this humiliation!" Olina raised her hand in anger, "Kill him for me!"
"That won't work." Ning Qianshi shook his head and said.
Before the knight could do anything, the iron chains crawling on the ground forced them to stop. At some point, the floor of the center of the Lute was covered with snake-like chains.
"What do you want to do?" Olina asked with a calm face.
"Do you still need to ask this? Miss Okan." Ning Qianshi said in a sincere tone, "You violated the law of the Great Qi, trespassed the forbidden area of the Privy Council, and at the same time intend to murder members of the Privy Council. The evidence is conclusive and you must accept the punishment of the law. In addition, I suspect that the case of the assassination of His Royal Highness of the Crown Prince is inseparable from you. This is a serious crime of treason. Even if you have the identity of the ambassador of the Archipelago, you cannot guarantee that you have committed so many crimes."
"I advise you not to resist and surrender. Otherwise..." The second prince lowered his voice, "You will become a corpse and be carried out from here."
Olina glanced at Xia Fan coldly, slowly lowered her raised hands, as if she was about to give up her original plan.
But the next moment, she turned around and stretched out her palm towards Ning Qianshi!
A dazzling flame shot out from her hands and rushed towards the second prince's face.
Almost at the same time, chains flying from all directions formed an airtight iron net next to the second prince!
The two collided and burst into deafening explosions!
boom!
The scorching air wave immediately swept down all the surrounding cabinets, and the torn files and books were sprinkled everywhere.
"Bold!" Ye Long drew his sword and rushed out from the side, protecting the second prince's flank. Before the smoke dissipated, a black shadow had already rushed to his face.
He cut out six sword flowers in succession, but only sparks burst out on the black shadow.
It was a kite shield that was nearly half a human tall, and a golden light was surging all over his body.
Behind him was His Highness. He had no time to retreat and could only block the sword.
Chapter completed!
