Juggernaut.

In just two words, Xia Sheng's heart immediately sank, and his eyes became more solemn than ever.

In the 500-year history of the Dajin Dynasty, there have been many saint-level powerhouses, and among these saint-level powerhouses, there are definitely many people who use swords as natal weapons.

For example, Mu Chenyi, one of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest, is known as the white-clothed sword saint by the world.

Another example is the dean of the Imperial Palace during the Xingzong period, the Sword Saint of the Sky, Zhao Shou.

But there is only one person who is really qualified to be called a sword master without any prefix.

Pei Xu.

For Xia Sheng, this name has been mentioned countless times since he was reborn, and it can be described as thunderous and not unfamiliar at all.

He knew that Pei Xu was the head of the Pei family, and he also knew that Pei Xu had been a saint more than three hundred years ago, and he also knew that Pei Xu was one of the only two remaining saint orders in the Dajin Dynasty today.

But none of this was the real reason for his uneasiness at the moment.

At least not the most important reason.

If it were when he had just killed Pei Yuanji on the stage of life and death, Xia Sheng would definitely feel that Hu Tianxing's remarks were a major benefit to him, and he would even take this opportunity to use all means to push the Pei family to the forefront of public opinion.

Even if it can't shake its roots, it will make the reputation of the Pei family plummet and leave a stench for thousands of years!

But on the contrary, before participating in the Spring Festival, he worshipped Pei Yuan as his teacher!

From the perspective of relationship, Pei Xu is his master!

Fortunately, from Hu Tianxing's tone, the other party's identification of Pei Xu does not seem to be as certain as the previous ones, or more precisely, this is actually just a guess by the former prince Zhao Rui.

There is no conclusive evidence to prove it.

But in the dark. Xia Sheng thought of something for no reason.

Osmanthus Lane assassination!

On the way back from Xia Sheng's departure from the White Horse Temple that day, in Osmanthus Lane, he encountered a fairy bureau and was surrounded and suppressed by the four forces.

By now, Xia Sheng had figured out the true face of the Quartet.

They are the prince, Pei Yuanji, Tianxingyuan, and Hetang.

But beyond that. In the battle of Osmanthus Lane, there was a detail that caused Xia Sheng to be extremely vigilant and uneasy.

It was the reaction of the Xu family.

You must know that the Tongtuo Street where the Zhenguo Mansion is located is less than 100 zhang away from Osmanthus Lane, and the soldiers of the Zhenguo Mansion are all from the army, which is by no means comparable to the families of other mansions, but until Xia Sheng escaped with the help of Wei Qiuyue's hand, the soldiers and horses of the Ruling Division have already appeared in the line of sight, and the people of the Xu family still have not moved!

So after the incident, when Xia Sheng went to Shantang as soon as possible. When he saw Qin Xiaohua, he once asked Qin Xiaohua to investigate the Xu family in secret.

It's a pity that the matter was closed in the end, even with the strength of the Qin Family Shan Tang, it was not possible to find anything strange.

In this regard, Xia Sheng always thought that his suspicion was too serious, after all, the Xu family had no grievances with him, and it could be said that he was the only one of the five major families in Luoyang who had no intersection with him, so it was unreasonable for the Xu family to participate in the battle of Osmanthus Lane.

Or rather. There is no motive.

But at this time, Xia Sheng invisibly discovered the possibility of the Xu family's attack on him.

If Pei Xu was really one of the murderers of Emperor Gaozong back then......

So. The Pei family and the Xu family are the most natural allies!

But in the same way, it was still that sentence, all this was just Xia Sheng's inner speculation, he had no evidence, and even from a deeper emotional point of view, he hoped that it was just his imagination.

After all. The current Pei family is not his enemy.

Now he already knows that the reason why Hu Tianxing trusts him so much is because he has inherited the Haoran swordsmanship from Emperor Gaozong, from this point of view. He can indeed be regarded as a disciple of Emperor Gaozong.

Therefore, Hu Tianxing believes that Xia Sheng will definitely not ignore the truth about the cause of Emperor Gaozong's death, coupled with the relationship between the Spring and Autumn Academy, Xia Sheng is the most likely ally he will pull.

But what Hu Tianxing didn't know was that although Xia Sheng loved and hated clearly, he was by no means a righteous and righteous person.

If it is finally confirmed that Pei Xu is really one of the culprits who killed Emperor Gaozong, what choice Xia Sheng will make at that time, and whether he will live up to Hu Tianxing's trust, I am afraid it is really hard to say.

Compared with a truth that has been buried by history and nearly two hundred years ago, in Xia Sheng's view, of course, the person in front of him is more important.

Even if Pei Xu is put aside, just the Xu family, who has been confirmed as one of the accomplices by Hu Tianxing, can Xia Sheng really do it, and put the descendants of his former good brother to death for the sake of a great emperor?

Of course not!

Justice and truth are never so simple things.

This may also be one of the main reasons for the failure of the Chengtianmen Rebellion back then.

Of course, at this time, Xia Sheng did not intend to tell Hu Tianxing all this, but asked instead: "I remember you said at the beginning that the real culprit behind this matter is the emperor of the dynasty, but the five people you mentioned, except for the crown prince and the prince, the others have nothing to do with Your Majesty, right?"

Hearing this, Hu Tianxing immediately said in a deep voice: "It really doesn't matter, but we also got the letters between Emperor Jin and the barbarian high priest back then, which very clearly mentioned that Emperor Jin, who was still the crown prince at that time, would help the barbarian high priest and give Gu to his father!"

Xia Sheng secretly frowned and asked, "Where is that letter now?"

At this moment, a trace of bitterness suddenly appeared on Hu Tianxing's face, and he sighed softly: "This most important piece of evidence is not in my hands. ”

In other words, this letter should have been kept by the former crown prince Zhao Rui himself!

In this way, if there is no accident, this direct evidence that can be used to prove that Emperor Jin killed the monarch and killed his father should have been turned into ashes with the failure of the Chengtianmen Change.

Xia Sheng shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Okay, now I understand everything, if you want to overturn the case for Zhao Rui and correct Emperor Gaozong's name, I'm afraid this matter has to be considered in the long run, now, you have two choices, either leave this place immediately and go to Buju Mountain to wait for my news, or, follow me to continue to explore this secret realm." ”

After a pause, Xia Sheng added: "We have been here for a long time, and judging by the speed of time you have experienced here, time outside will only pass faster, so I need you to make a decision immediately!"

As soon as the words fell, the young man, whose arm was wrapped in a bandage and sat on the ground, couldn't wait to speak: "I'm going out!"

Hu Tianxing frowned, turned to look at the other party, and sighed: "Ah Hu......"

"I'm going out!" the young man interrupted Hu Tianxing's words with a high-pitched shout, holding his head in one hand, and repeating over and over again: "I'm going out...... I'm going out...... I'm going out ......."

Xia Sheng knew that this person still couldn't withstand the blow of the facts after all, and he was on the verge of collapse in the face of the unwarranted loss of a hundred years, so he simply nodded neatly: "Okay, I'll send you out." ”

After that, Xia Sheng turned his head to look at the other four people and asked, "What about all of you?"

This time, everyone did not answer immediately, but set their eyes on Hu Tianxing.

And Hu Tianxing didn't even hesitate, so he nodded decisively: "I'll go with you!"
