Xia Yi closed his mouth in shame and annoyance, glared fiercely at Xiao Jiu, who was peeping at his privacy, and Xiao Jiu and Xia Ye laughed secretly.

At this moment, a servant came from outside the door to report, and Nie Jinglong, the leader of the Eagle Guard, came to visit.

"Nie Jinglong?" Xia Yi raised his eyebrows, and immediately guessed the purpose of Nie Jinglong's visit. "It's for Lao Xie! Lao Li, how long has Lao Xie been gone?"

Li Xingtong quickly calculated the time next to him, and soon gave an answer.

Xia Yi nodded, and said with a serious face: "The time is right, it is very likely that Nie Jinglong found Lao Xie's traces in the place of trial, so he chased here." ”

The people present were not stupid, and when they heard Xia Yi say this, everyone understood what he meant.

"But if you want to rely on this kind of inference to deal with us, it won't be of much use, right? They don't have conclusive evidence! As long as we say that Xie Lao went out to run errands or retreat, he can't say that Xie Lao went to the place of trial!" said Xia Ye anxiously.

"Hehe, Emperor Shang's lackey, as long as you find out what the master thinks, where does the evidence matter?" Xia Yi sneered and looked at the direction of the gate of the Xia Mansion outside the door, he had already used his spiritual power to find out, this time Nie Jinglong only brought two followers, and did not gather a large number of people to confront him.

"So what do we do?"

Xia Yi pondered for a moment and said: "Let's just say that Lao Xie was injured when dealing with those second-grade great masters before, and he has not yet healed, and he is routinely healing, so it is inconvenient to meet the guests and block them out!"

Xiao Jiu immediately said: "Then if he forcibly comes in and makes a big fuss, we won't be able to stop it." By the way, or we will say that Xie Lao is in retreat, so that they can't just break in!"

No one can disturb anyone who is in retreat and cultivation, including Emperor Shang, anyone who wants to interfere with others' retreat and cultivation will be scolded and opposed by everyone, because this is the most basic protection for martial artists.

Of course, if you break through in a retreat in the wilderness and are disturbed by others, you will not be able to crusade against the designated person because of your words.

Therefore, Xiao Jiu proposed the retreat strategy, also because of the protection of this layer of rules, even if it was Nie Jinglong, he did not dare to trespass in, and forcibly asked Xie Qingshan to go out of the customs to prove the facts.

Xia Yi heard Xiao Jiu's words but immediately refused: "No, Lao Xie will appear in a short time, if it is said that he is in retreat, and he appears in a short time, others can see at a glance that you have a problem." ”

"Now that Nie Jinglong is targeting us like this, isn't this also an obvious thing? Everyone understands what's going on in their hearts, we clearly want to lie to him, what can he do with us?" Xiao Jiu asked puzzled.

Xia Yi sighed and said, "If this matter only involves us, we will definitely not give Nie Jinglong this face, just say that Lao Xie will be out of the customs after a day of closure, what can he do to us? But this matter will also involve the dean, so it is not very good." It is obvious that he is deceiving Nie Jinglong, and when the dean helps us to get to the bottom of it, it becomes a strong argument, and the impact of this matter is too bad for the dean, and the dean may not be willing to help us in the future. ”

"But what if it is said that Lao Xie is healing, and Nie Jinglong has to break through?"

"Just do as I say. Xia Yi's eyes narrowed, and there was a cold chill in his eyes: "If he Nie Jinglong dares to break through, then I have to give him a good talk today, I just want to give it a try to see if my formation can stop the footsteps of his first-grade great master!"

"When that time comes, things will really get bigger!" Li Xingtong whispered.

"It's a big fuss, what else can he do to us?!" Xiao Jiu immediately shouted fiercely.

Li Xingtong knew that he was not Xiao Jiu's opponent, so he simply closed his mouth.

"If he wants to make a big deal out of this matter in Longxiang Academy, no one in the entire Longxiang Academy will support him, he has to weigh the consequences of making a big fuss, and who will the dean face. "Xia Yike doesn't believe that after Dean Wu Liang is out of the customs, he will tolerate these guys spreading wild on their own territory!

Tiger Guard, Eagle Guard and Long Xiang Yutian, whether in officialdom or among the people, the reputation is worse than the sludge in the stinky ditch, even in the Longxiang Courtyard, which is greatly affected by officialdom, people are also very hostile to these three.

Nie Jinglong can easily enter the gate of Longxiang Academy, that is also forced by the majesty of His Majesty, Longxiang Yuan has no legitimate reason, and must not prevent the imperial court officials from handling the case, otherwise, Nie Jinglong will not even be able to enter the first gate.

"That's too risky, we forcibly blocked Nie Jinglong from letting him see Elder Xie, wouldn't that also make us seem very weak-minded?" Xia Ye asked worriedly.

"That's different!" Xia Yi immediately said: "He has to tell me the reason first, I approve before he can let him come in and get people, if I don't approve, he will have to come up with evidence or orders to enforce it, and by then, the time has dragged on for almost a long time, I believe Lao Xie will come back in time." ”

"That way, we have a good reason not to find fault with me, even if they are suspicious. In this way, the dean will have a legitimate reason and enough confidence to help us speak, and the dean will definitely not reject speaking for us in front of Emperor Shang in the future. Xia Yi explained his thoughts to everyone.

"Cut!~ As long as the fist is big and hard enough, these are not so important!" Xiao Jiu did not agree with Xia Yi's words, in her opinion, the world of martial artists is to see who is stronger, and who has the power to speak hard.

"It's not as simple as you might think. Xia Yi stopped, turned his head, and looked at Xiao Jiu seriously: "In this world, the most powerful thing is not the fist, but the rules! Whether it is the rules of heaven and earth, or the rules within the family, it is precisely because of the existence of these rules that the world is free of chaos, and we can grasp more powerful power." What we need to do is to use this great force, not to let this great force eat us back!"

Xiao Jiu was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't know what Xia Yi was talking about at all. Not only Xiao Jiu, but Xia Ye and Li Xingtong didn't understand Xia Yi's words, nor did they understand what he meant by "a more powerful force".

But Xia Yi didn't explain seriously, but turned his head and walked in the direction of the gate.

Xiao Jiu's eyes were full of admiration, as if the person who had been taught before was not her: "The master is so handsome!"

Li Xingtong couldn't help but shake his head and sighed: "What Xia Yi said is really too profound, but it's not surprising, he is the guy who created the Tao Te Ching!"

The two followed Xia Yi's footsteps and slowly walked towards the gate, while Xia Ye fell last, looking at his brother's back, his eyes flashing with light.
