Xia Sheng asked Huai'an, if he could hold on, the implication was that he felt that the other party was about to be unable to hold on.

If this sentence reached the ears of others present, it would definitely cause an uproar.

Huai'an, as the commander of the Imperial Ruling Division, has unparalleled authority, and can determine life and death with a single word, and judging from the faint blue light that bloomed in his palm before, he is a legendary martial arts realm powerhouse, even if you look at the entire territory of the Dajin Dynasty, there are very few people who are qualified to be enemies.

Why does Xia Sheng think he can't hold on?

You must know that since Xia Sheng saw Huai'an, only when he broke the ballista in the sky just now, Huai'an could show the tip of the iceberg of his own strength, and he really made a real shot only once.

Before this, he had never fought with the enemy at all, and it was impossible for him to be injured because of this, so how could Xia Sheng judge that Huai'an was already a little out of oil at this time?

The reason is very simple, Huai'an's flaws stem from his "not shooting"!

As early as when everyone was still in the carriage, Xia Sheng recalled something that he thought was extremely strange.

I still remember that day at Uncle Li's house in Heishui Town, Pingnanhou was suddenly attacked and killed by three king-level powerhouses, and the first to react was Cheng Liran, then Brother Jing and Mo Lin.

After the accident, the three rushed to Pingnanhou's side almost at the same time, and in the end, Brother Jing rescued Hou Ye in time, while Cheng Liran and Mo Lin worked together to kill one of the Spirit Kings and chased after the two assassins who had escaped.

What was Huai'an doing at that time?

He came to Xia Sheng's side, pulled the corner of his clothes, and didn't let him leave.

At first glance, there doesn't seem to be any problem with this move, because at that time, Xia Sheng had already admitted his identity as a guest of Shantang, if the three assassins from the Blood Sword Alliance were really sent by Shantang, then Xia Sheng could naturally be a member of the assassin group, and it would be unfavorable for Hou Ye to cooperate with the other party.

But if you think about it carefully, the logic of Huai'an's move is a little strange.

It stands to reason that when the object he protects is attacked and killed, the most important thing Huai'an should do is not to strictly prevent Xia Sheng from making any changes, but to rush to Ping Nanhou's side as quickly as possible to save him, just like Cheng Liran and them!

Judging from the strength of the Martial Venerable Realm that Huai'an had shown before, if he was willing to make a move that day, where would the two Martial Kings escape?

So, the only explanation is that it's not that he doesn't want to make a move, it's that he can't!

After figuring this out, Xia Sheng quickly made his first attempt, he revealed his identity as a doctor, seemingly wanting to diagnose the old marquis, but in fact he wanted to see Huai'an's reaction.

Sure enough, Huai'an did not miss this opportunity.

When Huai An grabbed Xia Sheng's wrist with his backhand, Xia Sheng's fingertips also happened to be on his pulse.

So Xia Sheng was able to be completely sure that this banner-bearer, who seemed to be indifferent, was actually not as powerful as he appeared, but had been bluffing!

But why is Huai'an willing to tell Xia Sheng such important information?

Don't forget, Xia Sheng is just a stranger to him, and even his status as a good guest is likely to become Huai'an's enemy!

It could only be because Huai'an didn't trust the other people in the field.

If you want to be more specific, it is that compared to Xia Sheng, Huai'an distrusts the other three colleagues from the adjudication department even more!

Xia Sheng didn't know why, and he didn't have a way to ask, so he kept this secret in his heart, until when the carriage was attacked by wolves and crossbow arrows just now, he finally saw some clues.

Huai'an left Brother Jing by his side and Pingnanhou's side, and broke Mo Lin away.

In other words, in Huai's peace of mind, only Brother Jing is trustworthy!

After getting out of the carriage, Huai An immediately made a very targeted arrangement, he broke away from Mo Lin three times and twice, and arranged Cheng Liran to the front to open the way, in order not to let the other party notice his weakness.

It was only by this time that he finally couldn't hold it anymore.

Hearing Xia Sheng's inquiry, Huai An said in a very low voice: "Don't show flaws, otherwise, if I die, you will definitely not be able to live." ”

Xia Sheng was noncommittal about this, and said: "From your pulse before, it seems that the sea of qi was injured when the mirror was broken, and under such circumstances, forcibly stimulating the martial qi in your body, you can still live, it is already a miracle." ”

Huai An shook his head: "Mo Lin is already suspicious of me, and he has been silently observing all the way, if I don't make a move, I'm afraid it will only be worse." ”

Xia Sheng frowned slightly, and said suspiciously: "I thought that your adjudication division was monolithic. ”

Huai'an couldn't help laughing and said: "But wherever there are people, they have the right to fight, Cheng Liran is not the one I am in charge of the flag camp, and Mo Lin has coveted my position for a long time, when I am strong, they can naturally only choose to surrender, but once I have an accident, hehe...... I'm afraid that it won't be long before Han Ru will be able to ensure that Mo Lin becomes the new flag leader......"

Xia Sheng was stunned: "Han Ru, Han Ru is the sword envoy?"

Huai'an nodded: "Cheng Liran is also a person from the Sword Battalion, escorting Pingnanhou back to Beijing this time is a big matter, of course the Shouzun will not rest assured that my family will be dominant, this is not a new thing, if the person in the Sword Camp is responsible for any important case, I will also put a few people in, but I didn't expect that this time it ......"

Hearing this, Xia Sheng could only smile bitterly: "I see, in this wilderness, if you really have any accidents, in the end, they will definitely hold the blame on my Shantang, not to mention that I am a witness, they will definitely kill me, even if it is just to use my identity to frame Shantang, I must die." ”

Huai An coughed lightly, then quickly wiped the scarlet from the corners of his mouth, and said, "I like to talk to smart people very much. ”

Xia Sheng sighed: "But, with your current situation, can you really make it to Luoyang?"

"Naturally, it can't hold up...... Huai'an stretched out his hand and handed an empty bottle back to Xia Sheng's hand, and the words changed: "Fortunately, the bottle of medicine you prepared does have some effect, so we only need to hold it up to Maoling County, and when we enter the city, they won't dare to do anything to me, and at that time, I will naturally find a way to get rid of them." ”

As soon as Huai'an's words fell, Mo Lin suddenly rushed up from behind everyone, carrying two complete crossbow arrows in his hands, as well as some bits and pieces on the ballista cart.

But what people didn't expect the most was that when he came to Huai'an's side, Mo Lin changed his previous indifferent appearance, and there seemed to be a bright smile in his eyes.

"My lord, I've picked up everything, do you want to take a look?"

In an instant, Huai'an's eyes became extremely sharp.
