Xia Sheng's face was pale, but his eyes did not show the slightest uneasiness, he just frowned and said, "Does Lord An know what he is talking about?

Hearing this, Huai An suddenly let out a burst of laughter like a silver bell, and then he leaned forward, looking at Xia Sheng's eyes full of curiosity.

"Do you know the news that more than a month ago, the grassland people had broken through the Changyan Pass, and my Jinxiling army was defeated?"

This sentence didn't sound like it had anything to do with Xia Sheng's previous questioning, but he still shook his head and replied truthfully, "I've never heard of it." ”

Huai'an spread his hands and continued: "The news of the disastrous defeat of the Xiling Army has been transmitted back to Kyoto, which has provoked His Majesty's anger and asked me to adjudicate a thorough investigation, guess what, what did we find?"

Xia Sheng didn't answer, but he knew that next, it was the right topic.

Huai'an looked at him and said word by word: "Someone has privately withheld military salaries, and the soldiers of the border army have not been paid for three months!"

Xia Sheng gasped, his eyes were solemn, and he said, "Do you think this has something to do with my good hall?"

Huai'an smiled: "Qin Xiaohua is the head of the household, in charge of all the financial and tax powers in the world, and the military salary flowing out of the treasury also has to go through the hands of Shantang, do you think this has nothing to do with Shantang?"

Xia Sheng didn't answer, and after a while, he asked, "But what does this have to do with the assassination of Hou Ye?"

Huai'an asked rhetorically: "Don't you know that Marquis Xue's fief is in Xiling?

Hearing this, Xia Sheng couldn't help but feel a chill rise from the bottom of his heart, and he finally understood why the people of the Adjudication Division would believe that the mastermind behind today's assassination of Pingnanhou was Shantang.

"In that case, why is Lord An willing to let us get in the car? Aren't you afraid that I will kill this Marquis Xue in front of you?"

Huai An turned his head, looked at the indignant Brother Jing, and said with a smile: "If you want to kill, you will do it as early as when you were in Blackwater Town, why wait until today?"

Xia Sheng also smiled: "I see, it seems that Lord An does not value me as a person, but takes a fancy to my identity." ”

In this regard, Huai'an did not shy away from saying: "Yes, you are a good hall, this time the road back to Beijing is long, if there is any accident in the middle, maybe you can help us block some trouble." ”

"But why should I say yes?"

"You can choose not to say yes. ”

After this conversation, Xia Sheng was able to completely determine that this flag bearer may only look like a child of seven or eight years old, but I am afraid that his actual age and mental age are more mature than that of adults who are usually twenty or thirty years old.

Not to mention the other party's powerful strength that Xia Sheng couldn't see through and couldn't figure out.

Honorable powerhouse, or, is it a holy rank?

Xia Sheng shook his head and quickly denied the speculation.

If a single banner envoy of the Adjudication Division can be so powerful, then what realm does the legendary Commander of the Adjudication Division, Qin Nian, have to be able to suppress them?

Xia Sheng was not an ordinary cultivator, so he knew very well that above the Holy Order, there was a broader sky, such as when he was in his previous life, it was an existence that surpassed the Holy Order.

But today, Xia Sheng has been able to clearly feel that the cultivation rules of this world seem to have gone astray, so in this world, is there still a strong person who has crossed the bottleneck of the Holy Rank?

Taking a deep breath, Xia Sheng temporarily suppressed these doubts in his heart, and then smiled indifferently at Huai'an.

"Since Lord An is willing to send us to Luoyang City, this little favor, I think I can still help. ”

A trace of surprise flashed on Huai'an's face, because he didn't expect Xia Sheng to agree so easily, so he smiled and nodded: "Xia Gongzi really understands righteousness. ”

Xia Sheng didn't know if it was a compliment or a sarcasm, but it didn't matter to him.

The important thing is that the reason why he agreed to Huai'an's conditions was not completely out of self-preservation, but because there were other considerations.

Huai'an is taking advantage of his status as a good guest.

Isn't he using the power of the Adjudicators?

After losing contact with Kang Wuwei and Qin Yan, Xia Sheng was in the weakest and most dangerous situation, and he was still worried about how to avoid the pursuit of the prince's subordinates, as well as the interception and interrogation of various towns.

And now, this problem is no longer a problem.

Because he was sitting in the car of the adjudicator.

Who would dare to stop the people of the adjudication department for interrogation? Who would dare to ram the royal driver of the flag bearer?

Even if the prince's subordinates really found Xia Sheng, but now Xia Sheng is surrounded by two king-level powerhouses, an emperor-level powerhouse, and a genuine ruling giant, who can move him with a chill?

If these people are considered by Huai'an to be the killers who came to assassinate Ping Nanhou, then there will be a good show.

Therefore, Xia Sheng's choice, for himself, is simply beneficial and harmless.

As the so-called drowsiness comes to send a pillow, but that's it.

Huai'an wants to use his identity as a good hall guest to pit himself? Then Xia Sheng wants to see who cheated who in the end!

For a while, the atmosphere in the car became extremely harmonious.

Xia Sheng and Huai'an each had their own ghosts, looked at each other and smiled, as if they had been old friends for decades.

But at the same time, the people around them have different looks.

The old marquis was relieved, and he didn't seem to pay attention to the conversation between the two at all, and he turned a blind eye to the impending danger, and was still smoking leisurely.

And Brother Jing and Meng Qi had a bright hostility on their faces, staring at Xia Sheng and Huai'an respectively, as if they would burst out and kill at any time.

In comparison, Mo Lin and Ning Zheng seemed a little indifferent, but in fact, only they knew what they were thinking in their hearts.

And it was at this time that Xia Sheng suddenly turned his gaze to Pingnanhou, who had always been extremely calm.

This move immediately attracted the attention of Mo Lin and Brother Jing, but Huai'an's face was relaxed.

As if sensing Xia Sheng's prying eyes, Ping Nanhou opened his eyes again, spat out a perfect smoke ring from his mouth, and said unhurriedly: "Is there anything wrong?"

Xia Sheng smiled: "I'm just a little bit of a trivial matter, and I want to ask Master Hou." ”

Say. ”

"That's right, I heard that Master Hou didn't come alone on this trip to Luoyang, I'm curious, why didn't your daughter go to Luoyang with the car?"

As the words fell, Meng Qi's palm holding the dagger suddenly tightened.
