Hearing Lu Botao's words, Xia Sheng couldn't help but be stunned for a while.

Because things are finally starting to get interesting.

Before Kang Wuwei said that Xia Sheng's choice to enter the City Lord's Mansion was a risky move.

But who would have thought that the opponent's strategy to break the game would be even more dangerous and ruthless than his chess move!

Xia Sheng put out the two paths, but the other party did not choose either.

Neither forced the city lord's mansion, nor did he withdraw from Jinling City.

Instead, in the name of surrendering, he came to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion in a dignified manner.

Now, it's Xia Sheng's turn to make a choice.

Now that the other party has come to the door, does he see it or not?

To run or not to run?

Before making a decision, Xia Sheng asked Lu Botao a very important question: "Did anyone mention his identity?"

Lu Botao shook his head: "No, but as the adult said, the other party is an old man with a little girl." ”

Xia Sheng's brows furrowed again.

Because Lu Botao's answer was quite surprising to him.

"Bring him to me. ”

When Lu Botao heard this, he immediately breathed a long sigh of relief, glad that Xia Inspector did not order him to kill the thief on the spot, otherwise, regardless of whether this little force in his city lord's mansion was the opponent of the old man, and more importantly, if he inexplicably offended a big force for this, it would be a big trouble.

Fortunately, Lu Botao didn't give Xia Sheng the slightest chance to regret it, and immediately ran towards the outside of the mansion in a hurry.

A dignified city lord of Jinling City, but now he has become a two-headed messenger, if this scene is seen by others, I am afraid that he will really think that he has seen a ghost.

On the other side, Kang Wuwei was quite puzzled by Xia Sheng's decision, and said suspiciously: "Why don't you use the forces in Jinling City to drag him down." Shall we flee?"

Xia Sheng shook his head: "You are the worship of Shantang, for you, if Shantang joins forces with the Adjudication Division, is there anyone in the world who can't find his identity?"

Kang Wuwei understood what Xia Sheng meant, but he couldn't help but say in a deep voice: "Shantang's intelligence network is not omnipotent after all, and the investigation methods of the Adjudication Department are not always invincible. Otherwise, Ling Zun's whereabouts ......"

Hearing Kang Wuwei mention this, Xia Sheng's face also became a little gloomy, but he quickly withdrew from the inexplicable sadness and continued: "My father's situation is quite special, he has been here for a long time, and maybe he was taken captive to a foreign land long before I entered Beijing. But, within the Dajin Dynasty. How many powerhouses can there be?"

This time, Kang Wuwei admitted Xia Sheng's inference, nodded and said, "This is true. ”

"Since the other party knows that his identity can't be hidden, then why should he deliberately hide it from Lu Botao? If he reveals his identity to Lu Botao, with the character of our city lord, even if he doesn't dare to blatantly turn against each other, he will turn a blind eye and completely avoid this troubled water. simply choose not to help each other and stand by and watch. Wouldn't that be more beneficial to him?"

Kang Wuwei stroked the sword body: "So you think that old man really didn't come to kill you?"

"There is another possibility......" Xia Sheng smiled faintly: "Perhaps, the other party is in the same group as the two killers who did not show up in Osmanthus Lane that day, and their identities cannot be seen!"

There was a pause. Xia Sheng continued: "If the latter is the case, I am a little curious, who are they sacred, and when he enters the Underworld Array after him, I can also test it!"

It is worthy of being a master of art and bold. Just because of a simple curiosity, Xia Sheng dared to gamble with his life, and even Kang Wuwei couldn't help but sigh.

The answer will soon be revealed.

Not long after, Lu Botao led the grandfather and grandson who had a relationship with Xia Sheng in the inn, came to the door, and said a little nervously: "Xia Patrol, someone has brought it." ”

Xia Sheng nodded: "Come in." ”

However, the white-haired old man seemed to have his legs rooted, and even if he had come to Xia Sheng's approach, he had never taken another half step forward.

"Hehe, I'm not stupid, I'm not going in. ”

Hearing this, Xia Sheng's face immediately turned pale, and he retreated three feet back almost reflexively, clenching the Night Phantom Sword in his hand.

He didn't expect that this old guy would be more difficult to deal with than he thought!

I can see through the killing array laid out in the house at a glance!

However, this time Xia Sheng did not flee at the first time, and Kang Wuwei did not make a move in an instant, because before that, Xia Sheng needed to figure out one thing.

What the hell is this old man sacred?

When he was in the inn before, something happened suddenly, Xia Sheng was absolutely vigilant and didn't dare to leave anything to chance, so he chose to retreat at the first time.

But now it's a different story.

Since the other party didn't dare to step into this room, then Xia Sheng was safe for the time being!

Regardless of whether the other party came to kill him or not, he was also free to advance and retreat.

So next, Xia Sheng asked directly: "Dare to ask, respect your name." ”

In this regard, the old man did not shy away from it at all, but replied concisely and clearly: "Pei Yuan." ”

As these two words fell on the field, Xia Sheng and Kang Wuwei were like conditioned reflexes, and at the same time stimulated the martial arts on their wrists.

Because they know what the name Pei Yuan represents.

Xia Sheng understood even more that with this Hellish Great Array, I am afraid that he really can't trap the other party.

The name of the man, the shadow of the tree!

As the eldest grandson of the sword saint Pei Xu, and as the most powerful kendo venerable in the Pei family today, even Xia Sheng would never dare to hold it up.

Xia Sheng knew that his biggest enemy was the Pei family when he went south this time, but he never expected that he would lure out an old monster of this level!

However, the next moment, Pei Yuan looked at Xia Sheng and Kang Wuwei's stern preparation, but he couldn't help but show a wry smile.

"I'm going to say that I'm not here to take the lives of the two, do you believe me?"

Pei Yuan shook his head helplessly: "If I really want to do something to the two of you, how can I follow you all the way into Jinling City?

Xia Sheng did not relax his vigilance because of Pei Yuan's words, but said in a deep voice: "Since this is the case, then I am very curious, what does Venerable Pei want?"

Pei Yuan suddenly raised his robe in high spirits, and said solemnly: "Of course, it is to protect your safety!"

"Could it be that Venerable Pei is worried that someone is fishing in troubled waters?"

"Yes, if something really happens to you, the Xia family boy, this basin will be completely detained on my Pei family's head!"

Xia Sheng suddenly smiled and shook his head: "I'm sorry, I don't believe it." ”

Hearing this, Pei Yuan's face suddenly appeared with a touch of embarrassment, and then he coughed dryly, took Yue'er's hand, and asked Xia Sheng bluntly: "Of course, in addition, I still have some selfish intentions, so what, what do you think, how does my granddaughter look?"

In an instant, Xia Sheng and Kang Wuwei almost smashed their eyeballs to the ground, and their faces froze completely.
