Chapter 259: The Old Rascal and the Little Stammer
On the territory of the Dajin Dynasty, Luoyang belongs to Quanzhou, and Sunset Valley is in Jiangzhou, the two are thousands of miles apart, if there is only Xia Sheng alone, with the speed after the Emperor Jiang melts the spirit, he only needs three days to arrive.
But now, with the accompanying guards of the forbidden army and more than 20 honor guards, even if they are non-stop, day and night, it will take at least five days.
By that time, the spring season was almost over.
Just as Xia Sheng said to Tianwu and Qin Xiaohua at the beginning, he didn't go to participate in the Spring Festival, but to report the funeral.
But to the surprise of many people, Xia Sheng did not sneak away, but left the capital with great fanfare, as if turning himself into a lighthouse, attracting all the enemies to rush towards him.
No one knows where Xia Sheng's confidence comes from.
Could it be that he really thought that the identity of the Jiangzhou patrol could ensure his safety along the way?
Or did he think that just one Kang Wuwei could withstand the wind and rain from all directions?
But what was even more surprising was that everything was really as Xia Sheng expected, at least from the time he arrived from Luoyang City to Jinling City, there were no accidents.
The people of the Heavenly Star Academy must have been focusing on the spring festival, so they didn't appear.
The crown prince may have been intimidated by Xia Sheng in the palace, so there was no movement.
Of course, even he didn't understand the grievances between the Heavenly Star Academy and Xia Sheng, and the people of the world naturally wouldn't know about the twists and turns, let alone be puzzled by the people of the Heavenly Star Academy.
The hatred between the crown prince and Xia Sheng is only known to His Royal Highness King Ning and the Ye family, and it must not be revealed, so ordinary people will not be surprised by the prince's silence.
But...... Why are the people of the Pei family nowhere to be seen?
Could it be because Jinling City is too close to Kyoto, so the people of the Pei family are not easy to start?
Pei Yuanji died at the hands of Xia Sheng. It can be said that it shocked the entire cultivation world, and it has long spread to every corner of the Dajin Dynasty, this time Xia Sheng left Beijing, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at the masters of the Pei family, wanting to see what they will do.
Only a few people would think of it, and it is precisely because of this. Therefore, it is even more inconvenient for the people of the Pei family to do it!
Once something happens to Xia Sheng, the first thing people think of is the Pei family!
No matter whether the Pei family is in the open, or they are secretly attacking, it is impossible to escape the eyes of the world.
In this way, how can the Pei family do it?
Could it be that they really dare to bear the responsibility for their murder of the imperial court?
Could it be that their Pei family really wants to rebel!
Now, no one doubts Emperor Jin's favor to Xia Sheng.
As soon as Pei Yuanji died, Emperor Jin sealed Xia Sheng as a national sacrifice wine, and as soon as Xia Sheng left the capital, he had more gold seals for Jiangzhou inspection in his hands. If this is not called the emperor's grace, then the world is really blind.
No one knows how Xia Sheng did it, but at least they understand that Xia Sheng is no longer the country boy from White Horse Town, and he is no longer even the kid who stands alone in Osmanthus Alley, and now he can't move.
Xia Sheng entered Jinling City very smoothly. Although he was sincerely invited by the city lord Lu Botao, he still did not attend the dinner. did not stay in the luxurious mansion prepared by Lu Botao, but found a small inn that looked deserted and lonely.
It's not that Xia Sheng is pretentious, or he doesn't understand the world, but there are some things that are not easy to do in a crowded place.
For example, together with Kang Wuwei, solve the two little tails that have been following him.
After dark. Xia Sheng walked slowly out of the room, and then knocked on the door of the upper room next door.
The one who opened the door was a girl with delicate eyebrows, who looked like she was about eight or nine years old, and after seeing Xia Sheng, a trace of panic obviously flashed in her eyes. subconsciously clenched the Xiujian on his waist.
And behind this girl, there was also a gray-haired old man, who was patting his head in great annoyance: "Careless!"
Xia Sheng raised his eyes to look at the two strangers, one old and one young, his eyes were extremely calm, but there was a bright smile on his face: "The two of you have followed all the way, aren't you going to introduce yourself?"
The little girl blushed and stammered, "What...... What followed all the way...... I, I don't know what you're talking about......"
Seeing the other party's helpless appearance, Xia Sheng suddenly felt a little funny, and said, "Aren't you here to kill me? As a killer, it's too amateurish, so let's go back and change to someone else." ”
Hearing this, the little girl immediately clenched the Xiujian in her hand, straightened her neck, and said indignantly: "You...... You dog bite Lu Dongbin, don't ...... We ......don't know the hearts of good people! We're ......."
Xia Sheng raised his eyebrows, but he wanted to hear what flowers this girl could say, but he never thought about it, so at this time, the old man pulled her behind him, glanced at the little girl with disgust, and then sighed: "Young Master Xia, please believe that our grandfather and grandson have no malicious intentions." ”
As soon as the old man appeared, Xia Sheng subconsciously narrowed his eyes and unconsciously took half a step back.
At the same time, a loud sword roar rose from behind Xia Sheng, and a dim yellow sword light sprinkled in front of Xia Sheng like a sunset, and then rushed towards the old man!
Kang Wuwei made a move.
Today's Kang Wuwei is only a thin line away from the position of Sword Venerable, so the sharpness of this sword, even the old man is a little surprised, but it is only a little surprised.
The next moment, the old man protected the little girl behind him with one hand, and danced the mottled robe on his body with the other hand, and he didn't see what he had done, so he took advantage of the situation to lead Kang Wuwei's sword to the roof.
Rumble!
The sword qi storm exploded immediately, and immediately lifted the roof of this two-story inn without leaving a piece of tiles, I don't know how many people were awakened from their dreams, and looked up at the bright moon above their heads in shock.
But when the dust and smoke cleared, the old man's eyes suddenly froze.
Because in front of his eyes, where is there still half a figure?
Whether it was Xia Sheng or Kang Wuwei, they had all disappeared into the vast night.
So the old man could only glared at the little girl helplessly, and said in a deep voice: "It's all you!
The little girl rubbed the corners of her clothes with great grievance, and murmured, "If ...... If not...... Grandpa leaked...... Where are they...... Where will it ......"
"Dare to talk back!"
As the old man's words fell, the little girl's eyes suddenly filled with tears, and endless sadness welled up in her heart, sobbing and saying, "Grandpa...... Grandpa is fierce again...... Yue'er ...... Yue'er doesn't want grandpa anymore......"
Seeing this, the old man suddenly became confused, hurriedly hugged the little girl, and said repeatedly: "Oh, it's all grandpa's fault, is grandpa wrong? Yue'er doesn't cry, doesn't cry, it's not beautiful if you cry too much, wait for grandpa to catch that stinky boy back, let him ride Yue'er as a big horse every day, okay?"
Yue'er puffed out her cheeks, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and finally calmed down the grievances in her heart, then nodded and said softly: "Okay." ”
