The room fell silent all of a sudden, and the three of them exchanged glances, and their puzzled eyes showed that none of them felt the other's presence before the outsiders spoke.

Another master.

"The sister is young and not sensible, how can she take her nonsense seriously?" Xu Heng turned his words and pointed straight out of the door, "It's Your Excellency outside the door, who has been eavesdropping outside other people's houses for a long time, what do you think?"

The little girl in Xu Heng's arms was still struggling, and Xu Heng had to free up his hand and knock her little brain to stop the girl's unreasonable trouble.

"Can the Sword Master of Chengying let the contemptible person into the house to speak?" the person outside the door paused and said dryly, "You know, there are some words that are not easy to say and listen to people who are not related. ”

Xu Heng-for-tat: "Some words can't be listened to casually." ”

"Alas," the person outside the door sighed, and finally compromised, "Why doesn't Gongzi Heng let go of Sister Ling, and listen to what Duke An Le has to say?"

As soon as the name changed, the momentum in the room changed abruptly. If it was just a vigilance against strangers before, but after the other party shouted out Xu Heng's other identity, the vigilance immediately became a killing machine.

The Chengying Sword appeared on Xu Heng's waist, Su Su and Pu Feng also held their respective swords, but Xu Heng found that Princess Anle in his arms had stopped struggling at some point, and was looking at the roof with a loveless look.

He was sure that there was no one on the roof, so with this expression, Xiaoxue really had something to say?

Xu Heng let go of the hand covering the girl's mouth, and the girl who was finally liberated pouted and didn't want to speak, but she couldn't help but say nothing, so she turned her head angrily and glared at Xu Heng and said: "Bad brother, I just wanted to say that someone is coming, someone is coming to the door! You still won't let me speak!"

After saying that, he turned his head to the other side.

Hmph! I'm angry! I have to kiss and hug and hold high to relieve my anger!

T

Su Su: "......"

Pu Feng: "......"

Outsider: "......"

Xu Heng couldn't smile bitterly.

After a moment of silence, both groups of people inside and outside the house returned to normal. At this moment, a voice came from outside the door: "Xu Shaoxia, the master of the Chengying Sword, and Kong Liancheng, the governor of Bohai Province, the commander of the Beidi Jianghu Division, ask to see him." ”

Beiya?

Xu Heng remembered the Beiya mentioned in the materials he had seen before, that is, the Beidi Jianghu Siya mentioned by Kong Liancheng.

It is said that this is an agency under the Department of Case Investigation, which is subordinate to the government but is engaged in the law enforcement of Jianghu affairs. It is very similar to the fusion of the other five regions of the Yang Dynasty, the Huhai Division and the Jianghu forces in its jurisdiction. It not only monitors the dynamics of the rivers and lakes for the court, but also exercises the power to preside over the fairness and justice of the locality. In the case that the Dragon King's Palace is beyond the reach of reason, it ensures the tranquility of the Northland, which is a very powerful organization.

Because his rank in the Huhai Division system can no longer be lower, he didn't expect to use the power placed in the rivers and lakes by the court, so he didn't know too much about Beiya, but he didn't expect that just one of the patrol envoys would have such a high level of martial arts?

I didn't even feel my five senses, and it invaded my body...... Also, why did he know where we were, and why did he come to the door?

With all kinds of thoughts, Su Su opened the door under Xu Heng's signal, and saw the Beiya patrol envoy standing outside the door, Kong Liancheng.

The uninvited guest is a middle-aged man, with a narrow face, slender eyes, and heavy wrinkles on the eyebrows and the roots of the nose.

After entering the room, this person came to the four of them, nodded to Su Su and Pu Feng, and saluted Xu Heng and Shangguan Tingxue: "Kong Liancheng, the governor of Bohai Province, the Beidi Jianghu Division, visited Prince Heng and Princess Anle, and wanted to invite the Jade Shura Woman, the Wufeng Sword Master, especially the Chengying Sword Master and the Jianghu Princess, to appear and ask about the situation,"

He gestured to his head in turn according to the order in his words: "I wonder if Master Heng can make it convenient for Xiaguan?"

Kong Liancheng bowed down to make an invitation, Su Su and Pu Feng stood at the table and waited silently, Shangguan Tingxue looked curiously at the envoy of the Northern Ya who had completed the courtesy, and didn't know why the other party changed two titles in a question.

Xu Heng knew.

"Walking the rivers and lakes, it is convenient for you to be with others, and it is convenient for yourself," Xu Heng got up with a smile, moved the girl from his arms to the side stool, changed his attitude just now, and enthusiastically invited Kong Liancheng to take a seat, "The kid is far away, and he also looks at Kong Senior Haihan." ”

"The Chengying Sword Master doesn't have to care, it's the old man who came to visit him too presumptuous. “

"Where, where. ”

……

Xu Heng put on the attitude of a junior, and after a few greetings, Kong Liancheng's expression also relaxed, and he pulled the corners of his mouth and sat down. But the light in those half-opened eyes was still like an arrow, but he put down his official shelf, showing a reckless habit, his eyes were no longer serious and unyielding, but the old thief.

Shangguan Tingxue blinked and looked at these adults pretending to greet each other, just like just now, he didn't quite understand how the Beiya Patrol Envoy, who was still upright just now, became cunning in a sentence or two.

The child doesn't understand, but Xu Heng knows.

This Kong Liancheng is worthy of being a figure who has been patrolling the rivers and lakes of the North for many years as the envoy of the Northern Ya, and he has already seen it thoroughly for many years, whether it is in the officialdom or the rules on the rivers and lakes.

For Xu Heng and Xiaoxue, people with two identities: Chengying Sword Master and Jianghu Princess are titles on the rivers and lakes, since they came to the north as Jianghu people, then Beiya has the right to govern;

It was because he was worried about the possibility of oppressing people with power, so he simply picked it out and asked directly, "Can you let the Chengying Sword Master come out and speak?"

Kong Liancheng asked this sentence with the identity of an official, and with the identities of Xu Heng and Shangguan Tingxue, of course they have the right to refuse. Why refuse, though?

Since he rejected Luo Jiuxin's invitation, the intelligence sources of the rivers and lakes on the side of the Huhai Division have basically been cut off, during this period, Xu Heng has not found the same reliable and convenient intelligence source, and the efficiency is too low to collect and verify it by himself, just like their journey from Xijing to Shenjing, if there is a reliable supply of intelligence, with Xu Heng's information integration ability, they will not be played by Zhong Xiuzhen like a bored monk before.

Beiya and Huhai Division are not the same line, but since they have the support of the power of the court, it is estimated that they will not be too bad compared to the power they have mastered in the rivers and lakes. Now that Kong Liancheng took the initiative to come to the door, for Xu Heng, it was just a matter of sending charcoal in the snow.

Just like Kong Liancheng, who came suddenly and had a plan, Xu Heng also found value from the other party.

The two glanced at each other, each with a ghost child.

"The old man's intention, Xu Shaoxia must have already known, it is not only about the ghost city of Xudu, but also related to the two bloody cases that occurred in the city. ”
