Chapter 287: An Unexpected Encounter

Perhaps before today, no one would have thought that the Qin family, the richest in the Dajin Dynasty, was actually in the most dangerous time.

But now Xia Sheng knows.

Perhaps, Qin Xiaohua noticed this earlier than Xia Sheng.

Because there were signs of all this.

In fact, as early as when he was in Luoyang, Kyoto, Xia Sheng suspected that there were spies in Shantang, based on the battle of Osmanthus Lane, in addition to Pei Yuanji and Hu Shuo, there were other people who revealed his whereabouts.

As it turned out, he was right.

Not long after, Qin Xiaohua dug out the traitor who was most hidden in the Shantang - Xiang Feng.

Xia Sheng didn't know what the process was like, and Qin Xiaohua didn't tell him, in fact, until the last moment before Xiang Xian died, he didn't say anything, but took all the blame off with a silent attitude.

But is it really that simple?

Now Xia Sheng knew from another way that it turned out that unconsciously, Shantang already had such a powerful and hidden enemy.

And the hall.

Starting from the assassination of the Marquis of Pingnan, to the killing of the second master of the Qin family by taking advantage of the Qin family's comparison, to the assassination of Xia Sheng in Osmanthus Alley, all of this has formed a complete chain, all aimed at attacking the Qin family at all costs.

What's even more astonishing is that the energy of this Hetang is so great that it can buy a dignified worship of the Qin family, and even make him not open his mouth until he dies!

If it diverged from this, Xia Sheng even wondered if what he knew was just the tip of the iceberg.

If the temple can buy offerings, can it buy other people from the temple?

For example, Wei Zhiyuan before his death, Wei Xianfeng, is he a person from Hetang?

Did Qin Xiaohua already perceive Wei Xianfeng's betrayal, so he would use Xia Sheng's good character to kill him without hesitation?

Xia Sheng had already guessed who belonged to him behind Hetang. But he still didn't understand, why did Hetang attack the Qin family?

This is a very unreasonable thing to do.

What's even more terrifying is that even though Shantang has the most sophisticated intelligence network in the world, he didn't even notice the existence of this Hetang?

Even Kang Wuwei has never heard of it!

Last but not least, if Hetang can really compete with Shantang financially. So, where does their money come from?

Xia Sheng couldn't answer the above questions for the time being, and the only thing he could do now was to tell Qin Xiaohua everything he knew.

And now there is only one person who can be trusted by Xia Sheng and has the ability to do this. Kang Wuwei.

"You're going to let me go back, you're crazy!"

Facing Kang Wuwei's annoyance, Xia Sheng smiled bitterly and shook his head: "This matter is too important, I need to ensure that this letter is handed over to the treasurer of Qin in its entirety, and you are the only one who can complete this task." ”

Kang Wuwei held the envelope that Xia Sheng handed over to him, and said in a deep voice: "I left Beijing this time to ensure that you can reach Sunset Valley safely, if I leave, what will you do?"

Xia Sheng smiled and glanced at Pei Yuan in the distance. said: "There's that guy here, if he wants to hurt me." It doesn't make a difference whether you're by my side or not, and if he's really ready to protect me all the way south, then there's no need for you. ”

Hearing this, Kang Wuwei was immediately dumbfounded. Because he knew that what Xia Sheng said was right.

"But ......"

"It's nothing, I know, you haven't fully trusted me, and you're spying on me along the way. But whether you believe it or not, I can assure you that I am definitely not a barbarian spy, and this letter is related to the life and death of Shantang and the safety of the Qin family, do you really intend to put the safety of the family out of the way because of a little doubt in your heart?"

This time, Kang Wuwei was silent for a longer time, and after a long time, he silently put the envelope into his arms, took a deep breath, and slowly said, "I know." In that case, take care. ”

After saying this, Kang Wuwei turned around, saluted Pei Yuan again, and said in a deep voice: "The safety of Mr. will be handed over to you along the way." ”

Pei Yuan raised his eyebrows high, did not respond, and then saw Kang Wuwei turn around and gallop back towards the road he came from.

He ...... Where to go?"

Xia Sheng smiled: "I asked Wuwei to do something, so I won't go with us." ”

Pei Yuan glanced at Xia Sheng deeply, shook his head and said, "I appreciate your courage more and more. ”

Xia Sheng didn't continue the topic, and instead asked, "How many killers are there in the forest?"

Pei Yuan raised his head, glanced around extremely casually, and replied, "There are two more fish that have slipped through the net." ”

Xia Sheng couldn't help laughing: "Even you can't catch it, it seems that it is really a master among masters." ”

Pei Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said: "It's useless for me to be such an old-fashioned thing, anyway, you should ask what you should ask, as long as they don't entangle it in the future, let them go." ”

Hearing this, Xia Sheng suddenly said with some surprise: "If you don't kill them all, won't you leave the aftermath to the people in the clan?"

In this regard, Pei Yuan's answer was very simple and direct.

"My grandfather is still alive. ”

Xia Sheng nodded: "Since that's the case, then let's go." How far is this from Sunset Valley?"

Pei Yuan didn't go around in circles with Xia Sheng, and replied bluntly: "After the mountain peak in front, there are still about thirty miles away. ”

"So it looks like it will be tomorrow at the latest. ”

Pei Yuan was noncommittal about this, but asked about something that Xia Sheng should care about: "What about that chirping stupid killer?"

There were eleven killers hidden in this bamboo forest tonight, but Xia Sheng knew who he was asking.

"Do you mean Meng Qi, don't worry, she's not good at anything else, but hiding her body is her strong point, even if the remaining two killers want to be unfavorable to her, I'm afraid they won't be able to find where she is. ”

Pei Yuan thought deeply about this, because even he didn't notice where Meng Qi was at this time, but since he had said this, he asked with some curiosity: "Although I don't quite understand what the relationship between the two of you is, but since she is also a killer, how can you be sure that she has no contact with these people who came here today?

Xia Sheng was slightly stunned, and then responded: "It's useless for me to sow discord with such an old-fashioned thing. ”

After that, Xia Sheng didn't bother to play with Pei Yuan anymore, and walked straight towards the outside of the forest.

After a while, Xia Sheng and his party walked out of the bamboo forest slowly, however, less than five zhang away from them, there was a figure standing there alone, under the light of the cold moon, his face flashing with extremely panicked.

His body was covered in blood.

It was Meng Qi.

And under Meng Qi's body, there was another person lying in a pool of blood, looking not tall, and his whole body was tightly wrapped in a black robe, revealing only a pair of barefoot as white as lotus flowers.
