Everything went as smoothly as Xia Sheng had planned.

There was no mistake or surprise.

Kuimu's sudden appearance was originally the biggest crisis for Xia Sheng, but he took advantage of this instead, so that he could survive in a desperate situation, turning the danger into a disaster, not only successfully escaping safely in the hands of Kuimu, but also transferring the death of Cheng Liran and others to Kuimu's head.

Even if the ruling department thoroughly investigates the matter in the future, the first suspect is no longer Xia Sheng, but Kuimu!

This is no longer a wit, but a trick!

Next, whether Brother Jing can escort Pingnanhou to Luoyang smoothly, and whether Kuimu can intercept and kill the two halfway, is none of Xia Sheng's business.

The only thing he has to worry about now is his own safety.

Although the prince's people never pursued him, and there were no officers and soldiers along the way, the word prince itself was like a hanging sword, always threatening Xia Sheng's life.

He has not been in Beijing for a day, and he will never be able to get rid of this shadow.

Even if Xia Sheng arrives in Luoyang in the future, the prince's people will not dare to act blatantly, but secretly I am afraid that they will usher in endless trouble.

Fortunately, the prince in the capital can't cover the sky with one hand, because there is not only a good hall there, but also the Weining Marquis Mansion.

At this time, the sky was already slightly bright, and Meng Qi smoothly joined Xia Sheng and Ning Zheng an hour ago, and the three of them continued to march forward.

From the map, after five miles, there is the capital of Maoling County, Yangcheng.

Because of the loss of the golden signboard of the Adjudication Division, Xia Sheng and his party suddenly became difficult to fish in troubled waters and enter Yangcheng, and the only way was to cross the city without entering and take a detour.

As for the necessary supplies, they could be handed over to Meng Qi to purchase.

But along the way, Xia Sheng could clearly feel that Meng Qi seemed to have become a little absent-minded, not only did he not speak much, but also often showed a thoughtful look, which made Xia Sheng feel a little unaccustomed for a while.

"What's wrong with you?

Facing Xia Sheng's inquiry, Meng Qi just shook his head and muttered, "It's nothing." ”

Xia Sheng has never liked to guess the thoughts of his daughter's family, let alone such a female killer with an extremely strange style, so he just patted Meng Qi on the shoulder and said: "We'll be in Yangcheng in front, cheer up, our crisis hasn't been completely lifted yet, don't let your guard down at a critical time." ”

"Hmm. ”

Meng Qi responded, then quickened his pace and walked to the front of the line.

In this regard, Xia Sheng could only shrug his shoulders, and then asked Ning Zheng: "What do you think, Brother Jing and Pingnanhou are waiting for us in Yangcheng?"

Ning Zheng pondered for a moment and gave his own answer: "No more than one percent." ”

"Oh, what do you say?"

Ning Zheng took a deep breath and said: "Although I haven't been in contact with Brother Jing for a long time, I can see that he is a relatively simple-minded person, and he doesn't like to think too much when he encounters things, but will rely more on his own preferences and intuition to do it, it is precisely because of this, so even if Mr. Jing's previous plan was negligent, it is still easy to hide from Brother Jing." ”

Xia Sheng nodded and motioned for Ning Zheng to continue.

"And Brother Jing's personality is quite stubborn, from his hatred of Mr. can be seen one or two, such a person, once he recognizes a thing, it is difficult to change his mind easily, since the flag envoy explained to him before his death, telling him that no matter what happens, he must be the first to choose to escort Hou Ye to the capital, then Brother Jing will never disobey his will, at this time I am afraid that he is on the way to Kyoto non-stop. ”

Xia Sheng was noncommittal about this, but asked: "But now Brother Jing is not alone, there is also a Pingnanhou by his side." ”

Hearing this, Ning Zheng immediately smiled: "It seems that Mr. was not deceived by the idleness shown by that marquis. ”

Xia Sheng shook his head: "That's just the appearance, I don't believe it, there are really people in this world who don't take their lives seriously, and if he is really an open-minded person who sees through life and death, how can he take care of such a as deducting military salaries? How can he ask someone from the Adjudication Division to escort him all the way from Xiling to Kyoto?"

Ning Zheng smiled: "Yes, I think so too, so our Hou Ye is not simple, but he behaved too deliberately, which shows that he is actually a person who is extremely life-saving, since he is a life-saving person......"

"If he really saw through the abnormality that Mr. had shown before, then how could he let Brother Jing stay in Yangcheng and wait for Mr. Where would he dare to keep Mr. by his side? I'm afraid he would even be eager to let Brother Jing fly back to Luoyang with him with his wings!"

Xia Sheng nodded, admitting that what Ning Zheng had analyzed was indeed very reasonable, but there was one thing that he and Ning Zheng had never expected before.

"I accidentally learned from Kui Mu that it turned out that the person who chased and killed Ping Nanhou this time was not from Shantang, do you think this incident will have an impact on our future actions?"

Ning Zheng was silent for a moment, and then said: "There should be no time being, and this is actually good news, at least the matter of Mr. walking with the Adjudication Division, even if it is known in the future, it will not be regarded as a rebellious move by Shantang." ”

Xia Sheng smiled faintly, and was about to say something, but saw Meng Qi in front of him suddenly turn around.

"Yangcheng has arrived. ”

So Xia Sheng pressed the conversation, walked forward with Ning Zheng, and sure enough, within the field of vision, he could already see the city wall of Yangcheng.

From a distance, at the gate of Yangcheng, a lot of defenders were added, checking and inquiring about passing pedestrians and vehicles.

Fortunately, Meng Qi, the female assassin who was killed halfway, has now become Xia Sheng's biggest guarantee.

A moment later, according to the original plan, Meng Qi came to the city gate alone, and walked towards the city very naturally, calmly.

But he didn't expect that even so, Meng Qi still attracted the attention of a city guard at the city gate, and the other party seemed to be holding a few portraits in his hands, and after seeing Meng Qi, he kept his eyes fixed on her.

As a killer, although Meng Qi seems unreliable many times, at least she is extremely sensitive in terms of perception.

Almost in the blink of an eye, Meng Qi had already noticed the snooping of the city guard, so she gradually slowed down, trying to withdraw from the crowd at the city gate.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

The next moment, the city guard led three subordinates to rush to Meng Qi's side, picked up the portrait in his hand and compared it, and then nodded and said, "It should be right." ”

Hearing this, the Wind Suppression Blade in Meng Qi's sleeve had already slipped into his palm, ready to burst out at any time.

Who would have thought that the city guard whispered another word, which immediately made Meng Qi's whole person stunned.

"May I ask if it's Miss Meng? Xiaguan was entrusted by the eldest lady and Master Kang to welcome you and Mr. Xia into the city!"
