After saying goodbye to Ying Tianwu, Xia Sheng did not leave the capital immediately, but walked into a small teahouse at the gate of the city.

This teahouse has no name, but because the owner's surname is Di, the regular customers who come and go call it Lao Di Teahouse.

The reason why Xia Sheng came here was to see Qin Xiaohua.

The chief shopkeeper of the Qin family's good hall, and the meeting with the guests of the good hall and the distinguished guests of the Qin family, was not selected in the good hall, which is a very interesting thing in itself.

But the reason why Qin Xiaohua did this naturally has his deep meaning.

When Xia Sheng heard the name of this teahouse, he already understood what Qin Xiaohua wanted to do.

Therefore, when he took the page of the letter from Qin Xiaohua's hand, he did not show the surprise that the other party expected.

He just shook his head: "I didn't leave Beijing this time to participate in the Spring Festival. ”

The news of Tang Zi'an's death didn't even know to the teachers and students of the Spring and Autumn Academy, and of course it was impossible to spread it to the capital and to the Shantang, and now only Xia Sheng knew about it.

He said that he wanted to go to the south to find someone to report the funeral, that is, to find Wei Qiuyue.

Xia Sheng knew better than anyone how serious the impact of Tang Zi'an's fall would be on the academy and the entire Dajin Dynasty, so in his original plan, he was not prepared to inform Shantang about this matter.

In his opinion, Wei Qiuyue was the only one who was qualified to know about this.

It was also the first person he had to inform.

But after really seeing Qin Xiaohua, Xia Sheng was a little hesitant.

Because Wei Qiuyue rarely asked about the mundane things of the academy, after suddenly receiving this news, I am afraid it would be difficult to make reasonable arrangements in the first place.

What's more, it's a thousand miles away to Sunset Valley, even if there are no accidents in between. It would take Xia Sheng several days to see Wei Qiuyue.

During this period, what will happen in the capital and what will happen to the Spring and Autumn Academy, Xia Sheng can't predict.

There is no way to fold back to deal with it.

can have the ability to help him keep an eye on the Spring and Autumn Academy, and it has to be someone Xia Sheng can trust, there is only one Qin Xiaohua.

After he killed Pei Yuanji with a sword on the platform of life and death. It was this old man who helped him block all the wind and rain, and helped him stop the footsteps of all the Pei family who wanted to climb Buju Mountain.

also exchanged his trust with practical actions.

At this time, Qin Xiaohua didn't know what Xia Sheng was thinking, but asked with a smile: "If it weren't for the Spring Festival, you would have stayed well in the academy, what would you do when you came down the mountain?"

Xia Sheng frowned lightly and sighed: "Presumably you already know the news of the opening of the academy's mountain guard array a few days ago, right?"

Qin Xiaohua nodded: "I was also about to ask you about this matter." ”

Xia Sheng was silent for a moment, then took a shallow sip of the tea on the table. Only then did he say lightly: "There is an invasion of foreigners. ”

Hearing this, the smile in Qin Xiaohua's eyes suddenly subsided.

"What kind of people?"

"Barbarians. ”

"You've fought each other?"

"Not really. ”

"How is the situation of the academy now?"

"It's okay for now. ”

After this question and answer, Qin Xiaohua slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to ask Xia Sheng what this matter had to do with his departure from Beijing, when he heard a shocking news that made his pupils shrink.

"But Dean Tang died in the hospital and has already fallen. ”

These words came too suddenly, too unexpectedly. Even though Qin Xiaohua has experienced a hundred years of ups and downs, she has seen all the joys and sorrows in this world. At this time, the fingers holding the black jade short battle couldn't help but tighten.

"You mean, Tang Zi'an ......"

"Yes. Xia Sheng nodded, and a trace of deep regret flashed in his eyes: "For the time being, only the two of us know about this matter, so I hope that after I leave, you can help me take care of the academy, and by the way, find out how the alien got in from the border pass." ”

"I'll look into it. But the stakes are so high that I must tell the Holy One!"

Xia Sheng immediately raised his hand and said in a deep voice: "Press for another five days." ”

"Why!"

"Five days later, the Spring Festival officially began, and I don't want the beings of the Academy to be affected by this and rashly lose their way on the Spring Relief battlefield. What's more, people can't be resurrected after death, since the incident has happened, then the only thing we can do is to minimize the impact of this matter, if we wait for the academy to win the championship in the spring festival before spreading the news, it is undoubtedly the best time. ”

Of course, Qin Xiaohua understood what Xia Sheng meant, he thought about it again and again, and finally nodded: "Okay, then I'll wait for you for five days!"

Xia Sheng held his hand for the first time and saluted Qin Xiaohua, and said, "The next thing in the capital will be for you." ”

Compared with Xia Sheng's solemnity, Qin Xiaohua quickly got rid of the shock of Tang Zi'an's death, as the ancestor of the dignified Qin family and the chief shopkeeper of Shantang, he had already begun to calculate in his mind what the impact of this matter would be on all forces.

Including the nine great families, including the seventy-two sects, and naturally also including the wolf ambitions of the aliens.

Of course, compared to this matter, Qin Xiaohua's top priority is on Xia Sheng.

"So, you're here to go to Sunset Valley?"

Xia Sheng nodded: "I need to inform Dean Wei about this." ”

Qin Xiaohua's face was a little serious, and she said in a deep voice: "Originally, I planned to go south with you, but I never thought that such a thing would happen now, so do you know what would happen if you went south alone this time?"

Xia Sheng narrowed his eyes lightly and spat out two words from his mouth.

"Pei's family. ”

Qin Xiaohua rubbed the black jade in her hand, looked at the white mist rising in front of the table, and asked, "What are you going to do?"

Xia Sheng stretched out his finger, tapped lightly on the rim of the teacup, and smiled proudly: "As long as the sword saint of the Pei family doesn't make a move, the others, even if I can't beat it, but if I want to get out of the way, it's still very simple." ”

If you say something so crazy, I'm afraid only Xia Sheng can say it, but Qin Xiaohua is not surprised at all.

Instead, he continued to ask: "What if this trip is still like Osmanthus Lane, and it is not only the Pei family's forces that want to deal with you?

This time, Xia Sheng didn't answer.

Therefore, Qin Xiaohua gave her own answer: "I asked Kang Wuwei to go with you." ”

Xia Sheng couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this: "That old fox is out of the customs?"

Qin Xiaohua smiled: "Originally, it was still a little hot, but I woke him up in advance, presumably he followed you all the way, and he should have a deeper understanding of the way of the sword, and it will be faster." ”

"How far is he from Sword Venerable now?"

"A thin line!"

"Good. Xia Sheng finally responded, immediately stood up, and said to Qin Xiaohua: "You asked him to wait for me outside the city, I still have to go to a place." ”

"Ye Fu?"

Xia Sheng shook his head with a smile, an inexplicable chill flashed in his eyes, and even the tea cup in his hand was frozen and cracked by this terrifying cold.

"Enter the palace. ”
